I quit

[kayakdude]

Just wanted to check in.  I will post roll call tomorrow.   Been traveling.
I finally slept decent last night...6 days without chew.

cant post roll call from my phone.

that is why the brotherhood where we exchange numbers....if you can't get to internet, then text a friend/brother/sister/mentor....and give your word that way....

no matter what way, giving it you all each and every day is needed and should be close to the top of your daily list.

Hi Kayak, if you are able to post a message on your intro thread you should be able to post roll. It is the exact same message board format for the intro pages as the quit group pages. And like Derek says, you can always text someone to post roll for you.

We take roll very seriously here. It is what keeps you accountable and quit. Hopefully as you move forward you will come to understand. In a nutshell, once your name is on that roll you are bound by your word not to use nicotine. So you have taken nicotine out of the day's equation. That's how you need to think about roll. That's how you will quit this shit long term.

Not a sermon, just a thought. Well, maybe a sermon.

Anyway, don't miss roll if you're serious about your quit.

I understand. I posted roll call today. 6 days with no nic.

I will not miss again.

I do feel stronger on the day I post...it seems to give me an edge on making it through the day.

I will tell you that first week is really hard...I have never felt more out of shorts that I have during that week.

I do feel like the urge is less and I can tell a difference in how I feel.

Today was so much better than yesterday.

I actually feel somewhat normal today.

Clearly approaching this ODAAT is key.

How many push ups today? I think you had 60 yesterday.

Are you doing Chesty Puller type pushups?

Keep in min there is an exercise group place on this forum as well. I too do push-ups or burpees when I get a craving. The funniest is when I get a random craving and stop what I am doing to do the push-ups.

Apparently it is not common for people to do push-ups at the supermarket just FYI.

Every day I am quit I feel better, just be prepared for the moments when being quit seems to suck, the smile during those push-ups.

I wish I was in better shape. I bet pushups work better than the somersaults I've been doing down the supermarket isles.

[kayakdude]

I only needed to do 30 pushups today...but I swear the pushups work.

I use the perfect pushup things and vary it up.

I think exercise does really help and a big reason that I am quitting is for health reason so I might as well trade a bad habit for a good one.

I had to drive my neighbors kid to the ER today after a sledding accident, broke collarbone and concussion. Driving on icing roads, in the past, would have been a must to have a dip or chew to focus. But today I was good.

Thanks for all the support.

Posted roll call for day 2 with no nic. Been 5 days with no chew.

It helps being snowed in because you just have to deal with it as I go through the first few days.

Thanks for all the support.

Good work Kayak. 2 days without the nic beast controlling you. Keep it up. It's going to get a little strange next couple days. PM if you need anything.

I am surprised at how helpful this site has been today.

I have done a lot of reading and it really helps.

I now feel like I am not only accountable to myself but also to all the people here.

It is great after you swallow your pride and join.

I ran 3 miles on the treadmill.

I do 10 pushups every time I have a urge...up to 60 for the day.

I am amazed at how clean my teeth feel after no chew for 4 days.

I'll be on roll call tomorrow.

You. Are. Winning.
This site has probably saved lives, and we're all better off for being here.
See you on roll tomorrow!

Thanks for posting roll with me today. Look forward to posting with you tomorrow.

Nice job kayakdude. Great to have you here and quit. No pride within these KTC walls... We are all in the same boat. I like your activity and exercise to ward off the cravings. Make sure your pounding water! Quit with you today. ODAAT!

kayakdude, your owning this shit. continue to post roll and don't let your guard down. the nic bitch is a deadly combo, sneaky and smart. stay one step ahead of her and take it one day at a time

The "high" feeling of the quit will fade a bit. I don't want to rain on your parade but I want you to be prepared. This is why your commitment must not waiver and your new mantras should be ODAAT  NAFAR.

I quit with you today. Congrats on reclaiming your freedom.

Freedom

It feels good doesn't it?

You are a quitter. You are winning. I am quit with you.

Just the kind of guy Project Mayhem needs! Welcome aboard, Kayak -- great to see a new newbie embrace the site right off the bat. Your first few days sound identical to mine -- feels like you're sprinting balls to the wall on a hamster wheel of progress? That's good. Remember the feeling, embrace the discomfort -- these are the days you want to remember whenever you're tempted to cave, since no one in their right mind wants to endure a second round of the suck. Nothing wrong with some physical activity to serve as your replacement therapy, either -- and if all else fails, you've got some solid quitters already in your corner willing to lend a hand. Stay strong and quit on.
