That business partner of yours sent me a text asking me to get on board with you quit, and I responded that we'll make a badass quitter (BAQ) out of you. So instead of facing him every day, you have to deal with me as well. You also have to deal with all the new quitters who join your April 2016 quit group. Who else...did you bring in family? Friends? If not, then do it. Let everybody know that you are quitting. The bigger you build your accountability foundation, should you fail, the bigger the guilt. Make that accountability so big that the guilt of failing is something you have no desire to fathom.

Post roll every day and never miss a day. 756 days in as of this post and I am batting 1.000 on roll posting. Become active on the site, make new friends and brothers in quit. Begin to reinforce that quit foundation every day, making it absolutely impervious to nicotine. Lastly, do this for you. Not for all of these people in your accountability matrix, just for you. Those in your foundation reap the benefits of you being quit, when you quit for you.

So, be a man of your word, ...don't be a pussy. Time to be one of the cool guys. Check your PM - you got your first accountability rock in there.
Steak, your the bomb. Ha. I'm sure you never heard that. Stay with me. I feel that I can do this but that damn nic bitch is still sitting on my shoulder. I quit with you today.

Day 6, And I promise not to dip again, ever. That word "ever" seems like a big word right now. But if I look at it as "today" and not the "ever" word, I can do this. One day at a time. One day at a time. Take that nic bitch.

You have made the right choice. Now you have to accept the rain. But the sun will come and when it does it will be the brightest you've ever seen. As you go through the first few weeks, cold and wet, make sure you use KTC as your shelter. The more you do here, the more it'll contribute to your quit.

There will always be storms in your quit, but I promise that the sun gets a little bit brighter after each one. Stay strong and get ready to put on your shades 'archer'

Quote from: Cantoo
So it has been 38 years of my 48 year life that I finally decided to quit. You can't "give it up". Don't ever say that or think that. You have to say "I quit" and you have to say it everyday. You have to say, I quit dipping today but I don't know about tomorrow. I just know today that I will not dip. "Give it up" is like saying I won't take a dip now but maybe later because I'm too weak to say "I quit" and fucking mean it. "Give it up" is for pussys. I'm not a pussy. Used to be but as of Jan 1, 2016, I quit dipping for rest of my life. I just have to keep telling myself that everyday for the rest of my life. Its an 'addiction" just like alcoholism or any other so called "drug addiction".

Luckily, I have a business partner, that I look up to, and he started KillTheCan.Org 413 days ago and has never looked back. He quit and I believe he quit for good. Of course, I said he can't make it, he's been doing it for too long to quit all together. But he did and has. I said if he can do it, I "Can too".

So, I write my "Intro" today on Day 5. I have all the symptoms. The cravings, hard to focus, feeling like I need something just not sure what it is, sleep issues, cold sweats, can't breath or catch my breath, and a little irritable. But I know that this too will subside. I know because my business partner has told me so and I see it in him today where he is not a slave to this nic bitch. I'm tired of being a slave to the nic bitch.

So today, day 5, January 5, 2016, I quit dipping. I will not take a dip today. I don't know about tomorrow. Fuck tomorrow! I'll deal with it tomorrow.

Day 5, Cantoo

Cantoo...

Here are my top 3 things I have learned about quiting, thus far...

1. You are only as accountable as you let yourself be.
2. Learn and live what it takes to do everything One Day At A Time.
3. We can quit with you, not for you.
There are no circumstances in which using nicotine will improve the outcome.

My journey. The best part it is not over yet.
