  • Interests: I was addicted to nicotine for about 19 years before I actually realized that I was an addict to a drug. Allen Carr helped open my eyes with LionHeartedGirl (my sister). I am currently on day 2 and because of the frame of mind and different point of view that "The Easy Way" has given me, I don't doubt for one moment that I have ingested the last bit of that weed for the rest of my life. I am 35 now and am setting a goal of living long enough to have saved $100,000 because of my quit. At the same time, I am setting the goal of not smoking TODAY! One step at a time, while keeping my eyes on the horizon.

Ronnie hasn't been on the site since 8/23. He posted roll once, then nothing. I didn't even have a chance to reach out to him yet. Damn, that's depressing.

Thanks mostly to LHG. That girl rocks the world. I love you Sis.
Someone, somewhere out there is suffering through a more intense crave than me and that person is staying quit. As will I. -JoeMellow

Did I miss something here? Two things:
1. The thread title is wrong, Ronnie. As bad as it feels now (and I know it feels bad), what you feel is no comparison to what you will feel if you look into the mirror and are forced to admit that you weren't man enough to get through 24 hours without a dip, or worse yet you sold out your integrity for a can of nicotine.
2. I don't see a post. Would you mind giving me your word not to use nicotine today? Preferably that word will be posted in the Nov13 group. That's at the core of what we do here. I'll support the shit out of you, but I need you to have skin in the game. YOUR WORD is the key to you staying quit. Until you give it, this place won't help you any more than some health center pamphlet.

PM with questions, post questions here, read the WELCOME CENTER info. Then POST ROLL if you can keep your word not to dip TODAY.

Awesome to see you jumping in both feet Ronnie. PM me if you need anything. I've been staying in touch with a lot of guys from this site throughout the day and it is super helpful. I hope to see plus ones coming from you in roll call.

Peace.

That's all you can do bro, just one day at a time. Go through best as you can  don't forget to ask for help. If focusing on the job seems tough, remember like I learnt today, you can be your own worst judge, others probably won't even notice you're down on your work game, even though you'll feel it strongly.

Thats true Mike maybe someone actually being able to stick with a quit will get the others on board. Tommorrow I'll just take slow and focus on my job and and do what I can I'm sure I'll be on here when I have down time.

I'm actually the only tobacco user in the house the girlfriend was thrilled to hear about my quit and has been real supportive. I'm a firefighter and there are six of us at my current station and tommorrow I'll officially be the first one who is a non dipper. Exciting and scary at the same time. I can't really look ahead that far yet though. I get happy as each minute and hour goes by that my quit still last. We got this guys no longer will we let a fucking can have such a impact on us.
wish you all the best for tomorrow then bro. You never know what impact your manning up for this will have on your other 5 coworkers. You might find you just have a whole station house of quitters to help you through.  if not feel free to PM me for cell # too.

The first whole day is almost through it has been rough to say the least but I know that it will only get worse before it starts to improve. I've upped my water to a little over a gallon still chewing the hell out of the seeds and even a little gum. I find gum hasn't been that helpful. Today though August 22 I will not have even one pinch of dip. Not today not tomorrow never again. I noticed it is 8:35 that means I'm officially 26 hours without any dip. Writing about everything seems to be helping. I don't want to piss off my co workers tommorow or my girlfriend or any family or friends for that matter. The writing seems to help my irritability a little. This by far is the roughest symptom so far I feel shitty constatnly and pissed off and I find it hard to concentrate. Day 1 without dip almost complete. Lets keep doing this.
You are doing it man. You are dealing with the worst of it right now, the physical withdrawals. You kicked nic's ass today. Congratulations. Post up tomorrow and do it again.
I am quit with you.
Post all that angry stuff here. These intros are a great place for a rant, and it will help you looking back at it to remember the fight you are in days 1-3. Quit on you are winning.
I will do that thank you Matt

Thanks Ronnie. I'm finding the writing  posting helps too a lot! Congrats on your first 26hrs, that's more than 1 day already down! Nearly 1/2 way to the magic 72. I just posted in GDubya's thread too, I was surprised today at the reception I got when telling my boss/coworker. You might just find a sympathetic soul to talk to but if nothing else, if you do get angry  pissed off at them, they have a heads up of what's coming. You should get a positive reaction from family  your best friends, who can hold you accountable  will be on your side (even if they're still smoking/dipping themselves).
