Failed today and caved. Made it to 3:30 pm for what it's worth. Just dumped out the 2 tins I bought. It's 7:05 pm here on the west coast. What do cavers do regarding roll call? Do I post tomorrow?
Answer the 3 questions-
What happened?
Why did it happen?
What are you going to do differently?

These are not questions you can bullshit your way through. Think long and hard about the answers they are more for you than they are for us. You owe everyone on this site at least a little effort since you gave us your word and then lied by using. If you want to quit then you better get with the program and start living up to your word, that is a promise to me and everyone else on this site, and you just shit all over it.

Ain't worth shit.

Explain it to your group that you caved. Why. What your plan is to succeed. Start day one.
I see a post at 12:17 today, was that you that pledged and gave his word?

Well if you did and then gave in, that is no honor to uphold that word and I think that you need to look in a mirror to see if you actually do want to quit.

So for your question about posting tommorrow, you need to answer the 3 questions to learn about yourself and to put a plan in place to keep it from happening again, and to show that you are serious to quit.

(1) what happened

(2) Why did you let it happen

(3) what will you do differently to keep it from happening again

Because without honest answers of these you your self, I do not see a good outcome

Where did you get 2 cans if you quit?

(1). What happened?
(2). Why did it happen?
(3). what are you doing differently this time?

We don't fuck around here. Keep your word for a day.
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

I played college ball for 3 years and started playing when I was 8. Love living an active lifestyle. Married, 2 great little girls ( 4YO and 1YO). Loving life without the desire for a dip <<< Goal # 1 in my priority list.

It's day 1 for me. It seems like I've been here 100 times before. I'm pretty good at kicking but where I suck is staying quit. Almost as soon as I kick the can I start craving cigarettes, cigars, anything else with nicotine in it. Then I cave to the crave and eventually end up back on the tin. Just had my last chew this morning and it hasn't hit me yet, but I know it will.
Just get through the first cave and the first day. You can cuss me out anytime you need man!

This site can help you kick your nicotine habit to the curb. We don't use words like try or hope as they are just another excuse for our addictive brains to tell us another lie. There are no short cuts, but here are some links that will help you navigate this site.

This a NO NICOTINE site. End of discussion. Why this Site Works

Biggest thing to do is get acquainted with this site.

Highly recommend you go here: Welcome Center, Getting Acclimated, What to Expect   Top Ten List

Your quit Decision MUST be 100% about you. Anything short of that sets you up for failure by allowing your addict brain to blame a given situation as reason for you to go back to the can. Quitting out of fear of a medical issue fades as soon as the doctor or dentist gives you a clean bill of health.
Good to see another slave taking his life back!
You can do this.
It is very simple, yet probably the hardest thing you've ever done.
1. Post roll....this is your promise to yourself and us for TODAY that you are quit and will not dip...just for today. The earlier in the a.m. the better for your quit.
2. Make it to bed...anyway you can...No Nic of any kind. End of discussion (Mr. Cbird's sage words).
3. Wake and Repeat and your daze will stack up faster than you ever thought possible.
You see, I dipped 30 yrs 24/7 This is my 1st and last quit. If I can do this, then I know that YOU can TOO brother. ODAAT and NAFAR

NAFAR...never again for any reason!

Cheers brother. You got this...ODAAT
Keeping my jaw and tongue...I like them.
