Quote from: Thumblewort
I remember when I started quitting that I had zero support from people in real life including my wife. Why? Because I lied to all of them for 17 years about quitting. The only way quitting works is if you are doing it for yourself. That's why support here is so valuable, because the only folks that know what you are going through are your fellow addicts.
What he said.....^^^^^^^^

Age and other people don't have any thing to do with it.
You can do this... Dont think about tomorrow. Let tomorrow worry about itself.
You just stay focused on your promise you made today.

Remember......Your finished!
Let that old you die.

Im finished with the new you today.

Thank you lwildma2. I appreciate your support. Let me know if there is anything I can do to assist you with you.
The biggest thing you can do to assist my quit is to make sure you post roll EDD. We have lost a couple of guys in the last week and it hurts.

Lean on us and we will lean on you.

WE WILL ALL make it to the next day with the support of the brotherhood.

I am not in the IT dept. I am the guy screaming on the phone because the IT guys won't let me do what I want.

Congrats done. Nice job! Make sure you get yourself a new toothbrush bro. If you were anything like me the late nite ninja dipping sessions were always followed by a toothbrush session.

Took me a while to wonder if there was still a bunch of nic left on the brush that I was putting in my mouth a few times a day!

As stranger said, we don't want to have to start back at day 1 ?

Good luck bro. Proud to be quit with you today

I should have posted that I have been doing one can plus a day for as long as I remember. For some reason I do not even think about the dip anymore. I just wish I could get through this Fog. Taking the advice of others and drinking plenty of OJ, water and cranberry juice.

Thanks for your support.

Nomore1959,

Another mainframer! Now we are rocking! I started with EDS. That stands for two things:
Electronic Data Systems and Every Day Sucks!

Thanks for your support

I quit with you today
My mom was with EDS, after they acquired MacAuto where she worked. I finally got rid of the last Caddy from the GM discount days a couple weeks ago.

PM if you want to share bs or just need to do some quit rage.

This place amazes me on a daily basis. People come in that have dipped for little to no time, then people like yourself dundippin that's been controlled by the monster for a very long time. I don't care if you dipped for 1 year or 40, we are all the same. Having to battle a nicotine addiction. I've seen some people dip 1-2 cans a day, others a can would last them days at a time. Neither could kick the habit until now like we do, one day at a time.

Congrats to you dundippin on making the first step. If I can be of assistance please let me know. I quit with you today.

Welcome! 56 year old former mainframer here, posting roll will get easier. Its those new fangled doodads with touch interfaces that screw us up. As you know one day at a time. Posting roll every day does help.

I quit with you today.
