Day 11 today. First post.

So many choose to live for themselves and in return will watch their families grow. I love these stories and they will forever motivate me and many others I am sure. You all, in my opinion, are the most kick ass people I have never met. With March 2014 I have a pretty bad ass group...but it is the collective that will trump all. I, dunwit, imho, was born an addict. NO FUCKIN EXCUSES!!! I got this...WE got this....truth is people do die from tobacco. Mom for sure would have been proud of me, of this...of all of us. Jimbo

PS My mother would have been a great grandma.

Hey all...Dunwit here sliding thru the 70's.   My March Iron Men know my name...... just another 100 percent quitter.   Anyway I had a thought today.   Please bear with me here....I am without a doubt addicted to the nic bitch.  Was thinking about being an addict to nicotine,  once an addict always an addict,  correct?    Well here is the deal,  while in the womb my mother smoked.   In theory I was born an addict....correct? So when I found tobacco it was awesome??  No biggie...I have and will continue to win this every fuckin day.  Any thought out there on this?   I am not looking for or offering excuses.   Just wanna educate myself and if it helps a foggy newby.....To sum it up....I was born addicted to nicotine,  I was a P.I.T.A baby (according to dad).  I don't know know anything for sure......just thinking aloud.

Your thought has merit. My mom smoked too.

I remember reading that in utero and adolescent exposure are both times developmentally when tendency towards addiction can be increased. I'm pretty sure I had both so it stuck in my mind. I think I read this in John Polito's book (can't remember the title right now but it's probably in my intro thread and it's downloadable for free. Rdad in your class referred me to it ) Hats off for learning all you can- that really helped my quit keep going strong. Keep up the good work! PM me if you can't find the book and I can get the title to you.

Grizz, I just had that one to link! Regardless of what "got us here" the only way out is ODAAT no?

Thanks for smelling what the Rock is cooking. Some are "addictive personalities" Dunwit is just wondering why. Again not an excuse...Actually it gives me more motivation. BTW....My mother died at 37.

Thanks guys for the words.  Just the feeling of not being alone in this battle is priceless!  Also,  with a little help behind the scenes, posting roll appears to be something I can handle...Such a dumb-ass sometimes.

Nah, not a dumb ass. :ph43r: . Just foggy.

welcome to the funny farm.

If you see anyone approaching with a white jacket with buckles on it.





RUN...........................

Welcome,

Jim....your name is Jim.....


ok enough of my geek check. remember to yell to anyone here if you need anything.

the white jacket might be for either me in Oct12 Madmen or the Nov12 Asylum.

Hello everyone. My name is Jim...or dunwit I suppose. (As in done with this shit). I am 45 now and I started chewing at 20 I think. I have had my share of unsuccessful attempts at quitting and finally this time I am done. This time it is not an attempt, it is a quit. I quit on 12/17/13. I have lingered around here lately reading and finding motivation in everyone's stories. This is really a fantastic web site!! Anyway, as I approach 2 weeks I am feeling pretty good. The fog hit me really hard but shows signs of clearing lately. So I know I have to start posting roll and I will. With my new clear mind I thought I would figure it out this morning. Cutting and pasting is not my area but I was ready to go through the motions. Then, uh-oh, a surprise number system in what would be my March group.? Is there anything I would do different now? Pick a #? Just a little confused but we will get there. Thanks for being here. Who doesn't love a quitter? Newbie Brother Jim. (dunwit)

Welcome Jim ... I'm a Jim too. I started quitting for the last time in Aug. It is good to have you here with us. Follow the rules and post everyday my new friends and keep it real. If you need help yell loud and we will all come running. This is your big step now take those tiny steps one by one and one day at a time. Just promise to be quit one day and then let the next day take care of it's self. Today BearHawk (Jim that's Me) is quit 135 days and just make it that one day and then the next will be there and you promise just to quit that one and so on as they come. Believe me it works. I fought it at first ... because of the fog but now I am so glad I stuck it out. Again Welcome and look forward to hearing from you.

[Bean]

Congrats on making a great choice, Dunwit! Post roll, read all you can, and live free. You got this, brother!!!

[AppleJack]

Dude... You'll find REAL motivation being a part of this community instead of a voyeur. Welcome in bro...

Its all good man.

If you mess up roll, that effects us. The important part is writing your name down and promising that you won't use nicotine today. Sure, you can promise to the mirror each day. But who will hold you accountable?

Don't stress about the number system. Just post roll.

In fact, I'll copy this over there and get you some friends to help ya.

Drink the Kool-Aid and hit up roll.

If you have been reading and studying around here that long you know exactly how the program works.

You can either be balls deep in the prom queen or sitting in the corner jerking off by your self.
