Nice 9 Bills Waste
I just went back and read thru the first 100 days of your quit WP. Very informative and an eye opener for me for sure. I quit with you. Erussell 230.
My first 100 days was drama filled hell with a side crazy.

Luckily, I had some good people that had my back (and still do). From the moment I quit, I wanted to be quit. I struggled (like when I almost left this site in the 20s or when I had to ground myself in the forties), but it's fucking worth it now.

I love being quit, and I love this site for giving me the program, tools, and a microphone to spurt my insanity for all to see. I honestly can't believe it's been 900 days. My first week is pretty fuzzy on names, but I remember the physical pain I was in. I remember no sleep for a month. I remember my wife rolling her eyes when I told her I quit again. But the thing I remember the most is sitting here every night texting my friends going through the same shit I was.

We're fucking winning, guys. But we haven't won shit if we fuck up. I control my actions. Nobody else, and I will not use. One day, when I'm in the ground , declare victory for me. Until then, I'm staying vigilant.

Just this morning, my wife saw how many people told me congrats and thank you (via Facebook, via texts). She told my son, and he came up and gave me a great big hug. That's the power of this site. It's not my quit. It's our quit. We fight this together.

You have my word.

900 for 900.
900 is awesome, congrats!
It amazes me how this brotherhood builds upon itself. If Wastepanel was not standing here quit today, I cannot be sure that I would be here. He helped me immensely in my early weeks and all throughout my quit. Because of him and others, I am compelled to pay it forward.

Congrats on 900. A HUGE milestone, but at the same time, it is just another day. see you tomorrow waste.
What Ryan said. Waste's words of wisdom pulled me thru some rough times at the beginning too. What is so weird in reading this is... 900 not only seems possible, but it makes sense. Not so long ago day 25 seemed impossible. Day 100 seemed like some impossible mirage. But i can now see day 900 way out in the distance. One day at a time. Thank you waste!
Congrats on 9 bills WP what an accomplishment keep adding the +1's thanks for always being there its an honor to have you on our team!

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

The holidays reintroduce us to family we haven't seen in a while.

Uncles...cousins...brothers. People that we would share a dip with after eating. People that we'd smoke a cigar with at night over some beers. 

Unfortunately, we're quit now so we can't partake. Fortunately, we're quit now so we don't have to partake.

We quit for a reason, and that reason is that we can't just use on occasion. The Law of Addiction states that reintroducing the drug to our systems will start us back on the path to using again. Think about every time you've failed in the past. It started with one random decision, didn't it? You didn't plan on diving head first into a can every chance you could...it just happened, right?

If you want to be quit, then be quit. As much as that chew or smoke is going to sound good after dinner, don't listen to the lie. If we could regulate our usage, we wouldn't have to quit. We'd be able to just use it whenever we wanted to.  Have a plan, and walk away if you need to. Don't get blackout drunk, and be in control

You can do this.

We can do this.

PM me, and you can have my number if you are giving 100% in this quit.  Post roll.  Keep your word.  Repeat.  (Even on holidays)
THIS IS A MUST READ.

Good read today. Thanks wastepanel. I highly recommend this read to all my fellow addicts today. Happy thanksgiving.
Good stuff right there Boys and Girls.....the Nic bitch doesn't take 3 and 4 day weekends.Keep fighting the good fight.NAFAR!!!!!! 'Finger'
A must read as already said. Wish I'd read it yesterday. Made it though! I'm 100% in this, it's just I need to reach out more. This is not something to try to do alone. Sometimes you have to do more than just show up, you have to reach out. I'm trying. I really needed to hear this from wastepanel. Thanks.
Hang in there. We can do this!!
Wastepanel, your advise is always relevant and timely, thanks for sharing!
Quittin' EDD with Waste and all the real dedicated badass quitters of nicotine!
Love my freedom and your freedom too.
Piss on nicotine and everyone who promotes the poison!

HoF Speech


The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.
