I just woke up and posted roll again. I almost cave dlast night and bitched and moaned for about an hour and a half before I actuallt went to bed. I just stood staring at the bed in a fog thinking of ways I could lie to my wife and go get a can. The crave finally passed and I slept ok. Today my wife has surgery (nothing too major) and I will be alone in a waiting room for a few hours. The surgery is at 10 eastern so pray for me to stay clean.
My prayers are with you and your wife. Don't go mia while shes under the knife bro, stay strong, read the old tv guides and other shit magazines they have in the waiting room, and keep your mind off the nic bitch.

I wouldn't mind a kid. I could use a little hunting buddy. So I am almost through the first day now. I took like a 2 hour nap after I went grocery shopping to keep from being an asshole to my wife. We had sushi for dinner and I have been crshing food to replace the oral fixation. When I was extremely full I wanted one but took a nap instead. I still want one but the day is almost over now.
Right on!

Be prepared for tomorrow. It is going to suck beyond anything you will experience today.

This is not meant to scare you but prepare you for the upcoming assault the nic bitch is going to throw your way. Don't worry about how much you eat right now either. Staying addicted to nicotine is much worse for you than gaining a couple pounds.

Wake up and post roll!

magnum- Its good to see that the same process worked for you. That is encouraging.

Notdeadyet - My wife is really awesome. I think that I would like a poster made of your suggestions with number 3 in enormous font, lol
Timpy - well done and welcome! Regarding number 3 below it's true. It is a fantastic distraction however I need to caution you about the side effects: babies. Ours is due April 3. I jokingly call it (him, found out couple days ago) our "quit baby".

Careful.

DennyX - 167 days quit, wife 132 days pregnant, quit with you today.
Denny,

Congrats.

But I thought one of the reasons we quit was to save money... Sounds like you had the opposite intention. :P

Here is a little reading for those times you wonder why we advocate quitting now.

Bet you he doesn't show back up

Any bets this one is still using?


This is why you quit now!

Don't be one of these people. Grab your balls, suck it up, and stay Quit!

I plan on keeping my word. My wife sent me th elink to this site today and I read it and fought with my will power for hours before I even decided to become a member. I was initially unsure that I could do it and Steve told me just to buck up and do it. I threw out the garbage and have been on here every other minute to see how others are doing and keep myself busy. The reason I waited to do a roll call is because I doubted that I could keep the promise but after I thought about it and read other peoples encouragement I realized that I had to just go with it.
That is exactly how it happened for me. At work, found site, posted, quit.

Congratulations on making the decision to take your life back! Thank your wife for sending you this link. Tell her that O'le Notdeadyet said she can help your quit by:

1) Saying how proud of you she is
2) Encouraging you to stay quit when things get really tough
3) Distracting you with lots of sex

Thanks again everyone. To be honest I hesitated at first because I didnt want to renig on my promise withthe roll call. After I collected myself I went through with it. I will repost tomorrow. My wife will be a great support as well. Thanks again everyone for the support so far. I feel a little silly for posting so much but I didn't realize how much this decision would effect me.
Just keep your fuckin word - it's all you got around here and it will save your life, either literally or at least from a life of slavery to a can of cat turds. Understand you are an addict and read everything on this site to understand your addiction. Make quitting the number one priority in your life for now and be willing to do whatever it takes to stay quit.

That seems more than fair enough. I did man up and take the plunge and I am going to work like hell. This is the longest I have gone (minus sleep) without a dip in awhile. No real crave yet, I just feel really foggy and dazed. Thanks for your help, you seem like a good guy despite you being a redwings fan, lol. I'm a pens fan so I had to throw that in :D

I have been reading KLC al day at work, lol. Thanks again. The more I read here the more I see what a great, no BS, community this is.
You won't get any BS around here unless you deserve it.

Post too much?

Hah, look at the post count of many people here... we don't concern ourselves with how much someone posts.

Regardless, we can tell when someone is trying to hide from manning up and actually getting it done. You were trying, but luckily you made the right decision and now you must follow through. If I can do it, so can you.
