Congrats on The Century Mark, brother. I am proud of your accomplishment and that we took this ride together. Way to cowboy up, take control and give it hell.
Nicely done Oxman! Congrats on the HOF bro! Remember, it's just a milestone ... keep fighting the fight, EDD.

Much appreciated ladies. Alas, it was all for not (or at least with her it was.) Eclipse gum firmly place in lower lip right now adn getting ready for a nother cup of coffe. Keep up the quit boys, It's only our lives right?!
Correct. I have avoided reading the Kern's story for over 100 days, but for some reason I did today. I highly recommend it, especially for new quitters. It made my quit stronger today.

My bad, gratz on 4! Should be outta the SUCK by now.

I have had 2 rough days (84  85), but I have a bunch of text brothers that propped me up yesterday, and when (if) I find my phone tonight I am certain they'll have my back as well.

Gentlemen- for the last and final time. I caved on the first day. I caved on Fricking Monday. I called myself out for being a puss, for lying to myself for lying to the sultans for lying to my family. I caved. I don't care if it was for 10minutes, or 10seconds, the shit touched my lips and rather than hide like a bitch, I called myself out to a bunch of people i don't know because I do respect this group. I did so for me, not anyone else, but yes I am here for that support. I was bounced from September to October and to the Titans. I was asked on multiple different threads to own up and answer three important questions. What you are seeing is my attempt to find every f-ing thread this has been brought up on and answer those questions. Now again, I rolled into October. I rolled into the Titans. I have been nicotine free since Monday evening at 11PM est, and will continue to be NICOTINE free going forward. I truly hope this clears fucking things up. I fucked myself and I fucked my September brothers on MONDAY of the first day because I was weak. I will not make the same mistake twice with my October Titans!
I didn't realize the Titans had moved from Tennessee. When did every group just stop being creative and take their nick-names from sports teams??

Sorry, I digress. I wish you the best on your quit from this point forward. You see how serious everyone takes this. I have little doubt the next time you feel 'weak' you will remember that we are a group of relentless pricks.
not trying to hi=jack Ox's intro, but....

the SULTANS are NOT a friggin sports team.

And MOST of the folks that reamed him out (me included) are a group of relentless pricks, there, Instigator ;)

Ox all this might have sounded harsh but that is the way it has to be we are addicts we look for the loopholes so you have you to burn the bridges and the piers there is no going back we quit only once. It has to be this way because for some reason you are the only one I can get a hold of if I have a massive crave I have to know that I can count on you and you wont say dude it just one dip. We are only as strong as the weakest link and yes it is cliché but there is a lot to that saying. So now dust yourself off and back on that quit horse and ride...We will be watching.

Thanks gentlemen!
You're welcome.

Every vet that spoke up and reamed you was justified and that is the bandwagon I ride on. I also appreciate your newbie quit brothers standing up for you...this shows me that even in the early stages of this quit, you all are creating bonds. You will all need this; you will all need to depend on this. As my legendary quit brother Sir Derek was alluding to, you need to come up with a plan should a strong craving come upon you that you are afraid you can't beat. What will be your action plan? Who will you call? How will you be accountable to your promise...for you? for your quit brothers who depend on you?

Oxman I am with you. This site is made up of lots of people who caved....but to my knowledge it is not made up of many multi time cavers. I believe your sincerity, and I believe your commitment. If it helps add to your accountability know that another cave will most likely lead to a lot of regret. Get after this!
Biggest thing that I see OX, is work on that plan moving forward so that this does not happen again.

As what happens the next time you get that feeling of need? What will you do? What do you have written down to follow?

Hints: make steps, call and talk to multiple people, log on and look at this site, jump into live chat.....look at your roll promise.... (if you need more see the list that I have for my plan)

We do not accept failure, so look in that mirror as now is your time. Plan so you will not fail again.
