Hey emulator. ..yes I quit today...guaran dam teed as union would say
That's right G!!! I love your quit and it has to be clock-work. Guaran-damn-tee no nic today!!! Let it rip!!!
Today started with an immediate crave at 8:05 am. I just keep reminding myself, that she creeps in and it gets tough, but I had already decided I would need to be tougher from day one. This quit takes focus and dedication. No slowing down or change in attitude. Keep it on the front burner of everything you do. Maybe that changes down the road but in order to get that far, I need to deal with today. Today, I quit. Today, I am on guard. Today I protect this quit guaran damn teed!
It DOES get easier. I PROMISE. These battles that you win now are going to pay off down the road.

It's like a new job. In the beginning you might seem overwhelmed, confused, don't like the way certain things are done, question if you can really do it, and maybe even think of quitting and going back to your old shitty job. Like a whimp would do.

Then, over time you get into a nice grove and remember why you took the new job in the first place, and wonder why you used to think it was so hard. You still might have a shitty day once in awhile, just like you might at work, but they will become waaaay less frequent and much easier to deal with.

Just got to give it time.

Quit on...

Hi there!  I am in the Springs. Really? A chic quitter right here?  Thank GOD.
Where are you? These guys are typical guys....boobies talk and football.  I do however depend on them SO much as well as the other girls in here.  I know without this site I would have caved so easily.  Looking forward to hearing more from you!
Live in Buena Vista, born and raised in the Springs. Sisters are a rarity here, but that is the story of my life had two brothers so these guys are just an extinction of the family, and I would be lost with out my brothers, especially diesil and evil, truma to through a few, that can be hard asses but they are the real deal only reason I am sitting at 219. read about the conversation with your kid, tough break hopefully a wake up call for your husband.
Kandice is not a dude, LOL (I remember your hof intro) But she is a BAD ASS quitter, who battled very hard early on but remained undefeated. Even went through a "cold shower" stage if I remember correctly, LOL.

219??? Damn, that seemed fast. Well done!!!

Quit on...
I plead the fivth on the cold shower. 'fireman'

HAHA, I know it does seem like 220 has been fast, but the freedom was so worth that battle that I waged early on and am still fighting. Learning now about the sneak attacks. 'crackup'

So I go to pick my kiddo up from hockey practice along with his little buddy/teammate.  They are 12 and smelly.  The gear goes in the back and they jump in the middle seats. They are in mid discussion and barely get a "Hi Ginet" out of their mouths. Chopped liver already! They are discussing some kids in school that use pot and drink their parent's beer and even chew tobacco.  So, I jump in and we proceed to discuss how they know that..... did they see it, did they ask them to do it, was it a rumor etc.  It goes on and on and I explain how horrible all of it is, how athletes never do that, and on and on..........Then, the conversation goes like this:

My son "Hey Marc, does your dad chew tobacco too?"
Marc "No, I don't think so, but I never asked him"
My son "you don't have to ask him, you can tell by his bad breath"

Ugh....my heart sank. He is talking about his father, my husband!  Damn.  Now I'm sad, but maybe that will be a good "discussion" to help get his quit going.
I think I will go to bed now.  I am SO ready for it to be tomorrow!


What's a Trollop anyway?
gUESS i AM LUCKY. mY SPOUSE NEVER CHEWED OR SMOKED AND NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT BAD BREATHE OR QUITTING. bUT gOD BLESS THE WOMAN SHE IS BEHIND ME 100% ON THIS QUIT.. OOps did notice caps lock on.. too lazy to change :0
Little kids sometimes are so blatantly honest. My father once referred to smoking and ashtrays as "stink and filth" I was about that age in the cub scouts and we were on a field trip to a basball game. The women in the front seat of the car we were driving in was smoking heavily. She shut the ashtray and I blurted out that is was the tray of stink and filth which was true. I am lucky her husband didn't kick me out of the car or hit me. I still can't believe to this day that I would ever say anything like that. I had aleady had my first cig by that time and would later become addicted to them before switching to chew. Looking back I wish I had practiced what I preached.
