I'm day 15 quit, and I can't remember if I introduced myself or not, since I'm quit, I don't have a lot of time to post as I try to occupy myself with the time I've wasted dipping. I'm Dan, and definitely an addict. But what is pissing me off is that I have over 150 a day as I teach, and I'm patient most of the time, but when I get home, I'm not. Its bullshit, and not fair to my own kids. Tell me it will stop. I have trouble explaining being quit to them as they are all younger than 6 and I really don't want to ever know or remember daddy with "candy in his mouth and I don't have anymore to give you". I'm a piece of shit. Any strategies out there??? Thanks.
I teach little kids. I have little kids. It will pass.

It might take some time, but you really NEED to either get involved here (bitch at us), or get some numbers and call or text a brother and bitch at them.

If you need a number, PM me.
What is your major malfunction?!?!?!?!

Here's all I know about it. The American Cancer Society's Cancer Facts and Figures 2003 reported that 91.4% of former U.S. adult smokers quit our way.

That means more than 9 of 10 successful quitters quit cold turkey, if you're to believe that figure.

Of that remaining 8.6%, some percentage used NRT, Chantrix, Wellbutrin, hypnosis, etc. Of that fraction that tried quitting using Chantrix, 66% failed.

I don't know why. Maybe because none of these aids that ease quitting actually keep you quit. At some point, you will stop using them. You use them because you're afraid you can't handle being quit; and yet you can't always use them. Does that explain it?

I don't know. But quitting cold-turkey, with accountability, gets you quit exactly the same way every day. If you make it through just one day, you know exactly how to stay quit on day 1,000 and beyond. That makes sense to me. What about you?

Here's what's certain: Every single one of the people who stay quit have made a decision that they don't change their mind about later. In the final analysis, those are the ONLY people who stay quit. We commit ourselves each day to helping you to become one of those people. Let us know when you need help.

Hello all, this must be 30th day one for me, but I'm here again with the most resolve I've ever had. I've decided to quit because Iwant to quit. So with that said, I'm ready for it and the punches that will be thrown at me for the next 12+ weeks. I'm also using the assistance of chantix and hope that will help as much as possible. Thanks for listening.

dforbes...welcome to a place that will help you in your quest.

Few things first: Chantix - pitch it. I used it. I used it for 30 days. I found this place on Day 31. You don't need it. It's a waste of money, and all it did was give me F'ED UP dreams. I mean scary stuff. My wife would find me in different parts of the house doing various things. It's bad stuff, and it does nothing for you. Eventually, you will have to learn how to live without nicotine. Start now.

Your 30th Day 1 - Let's make this your LAST Day 1. You in? You want it? Well, then you gotta follow a few simple rules:

1. Post Roll Every Day. (The earlier the better). This is your daily promise and reminder NOT to use nicotine in any way, shape or form for this day.

2. Keep your WORD. We work on accountability here. Is your word worth anything? If you're like me, I had lied to so many people for so many years, I didn't know if I COULD keep my word. Can you keep yours?

3. Repeat.

Simple? Yes! Easy? Hell NO! Worth it? You bet your ASS!

Check your Inbox (1) in a few minutes. Upper right corner of your screen.

PM me if you need help.
