Wow. Everyone else says to come in here for support and stay on as much as possible to keep yourself from caving. Now, your telling me to stay off?! This might be my nic-deprived anger talking. But with all due respect Smokey, I'm gonna come on here whenever I want.

Thanks everyone. Today was rough...some pretty hard cravings. Slept through a lot of the day though, so that helped. Don't think my body knows how to function without nic, so it just sleeps. Lol. It's midnight, and I just woke up all sweaty as if sweating out a fever or something. But I actually feel ok for the first time since I quit. I think "the fog" might be over. I freaking hope so. Now if I could just stop thinking about it every second...gonna try going back to sleep.

This place has been full of caves lately. Some long-term caving and some newbie caves. Ballplayer, I tip my hat to you bro. You've stepped up and engaged the critics, LISTENED, and not hidden from the weakness we all share.

Keep up the strong work. There is no easy way out.

Comback Kid-Wake the Dead
Quote
This is our city of the dead
Another life holds its weary head
We hope, we try, we live, survive
Counting days, trying to get by
Waiting for the calling
Anticipation in the air
We hope and dream of difference
City sleeping, unaware

Break the silence, WAKE THE DEAD
Running through these streets alone
I'll kick and scream, let's break this hold
Cuz I swear, and this won't render useless
I promise you, we've come this far
And I'm not stopping, I'm not stopping now
I'm not hiding in shadows
Wake up
Send out this message, it's clear

2x
You said, you said, you said
this time was gonna be different
WAKE UP THE DEAD

Coming alive
Something stirs inside
This isn't over yet
Shake off the dirt
Swallow regret
Stop living under the weight
Living under the weight of regret
Your regrets
DON'T LOSE HOPE
Your regrets
DON'T LOSE HOPE
Don't let it happen to you
DON'T LOSE HOPE
Which side are you gonna choose?
Cuz I believe, I believe it's in you.
RISE!

4x
We said, we said, we said
This time was gonna be different
WAKE UP THE DEAD

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

Razd- No. It was the same crappy dip I've had tens of thousands of times. Same funky mouth the next morning, same sore gums and feeling of fear and regret that I've had every morning for 20 years.

Bean and ER- I will not disrespect the brotherhood like that again. I have nothing but respect for this place and everyone in it. When I first joined, I had tons of welcoming and supportive messages from a lot of people on here. I think it is absolutely awesome how everyone is genuinely interested in helping other people that they never met. Especially the vets who have been quit for a long time, yet still donate their time and energy to helping new guys. I appreciate everyone's words of wisdom. And I even appreciate all the shit I'm getting for caving. It only makes me want to prove everyone wrong that much more.

BP - I am on day 9 working on today. Here is my take.

You have asked for your beating, you have gotten it (some of it anyways), now remember how much it sucks balls and get on with your QUIT.

You have support from every one of us who are all addicts to the same bitch.

Your cave ended when your quit started today. This is not going to be easy. People are going to chew around you. People are going to offer you chews.
This is not a quit because you THINK you should. You can't enter a perfect world where everyone respects and understands your addiction.

This needs to be a matter of PRINCIPLE for you. Your WORD is more important than that CAN of CANCER. Your idiot friends who still want to chew around you are assholes, but you still have to MAN UP and do the right thing.

USE THE SHIT OUT OF THESE FORUMS AND PHONE NUMBERS.
I will PM you with mine. Put it in your phone and get me yours. Let's do this thing man.

I am proud to quit with you today.
