Day 2...

[srans]

Can't wait to fucking post roll in the morning. "Carpe Diem!". Seize the day baby. The simple act of posting roll, together with that first cup of coffee, jump starts the day. Yeah baby, bring it. Good night all, and let's ride the weekend nic free...
ZC.

I'll be glad to join you today. I have my coffee, and posting roll now.

This past Friday I'd had enough.  Had my last dip and flushed the can of cope long cut down the toilet.  Mouth feels a little better and chest pains are gone this morning. Cravings are super strong as I write this...especially in the spot where I usually pack my dip. looking forward to getting past day 3 when nicotine is mostly out of system. But I know from experience cravings will continue to come for days, weeks.  Sugarless bubble-gum to the rescue.  Hardest thing is doing chores around the horses....so many triggers there.  Moving hay, cleaning stalls, saddling, riding, all required a dip in the past.  Been a 2-can per week user for 15 years.  Aaarrgghhh.....onward with the QUIT!

Zillah,

I can understand what you are saying with triggers doing chores with the horses... I have had the same with doing cattle chores... Just so used to having a pinch.... No more, we can make new habits that do not include the nic bitch....I got your back!

Shorthorn,
Thanks....need you to post roll every day. Get on here and post first thing in the morning. I don't see you on roll call yet today. How's your quit going? What's your plan? Fill us in.
ZC.

Fyi everybody...found "Shorthorn" in May '14 group and has posted roll there. He's in the middle of the big suck, but off to a good start. ZC.

I appreciate the concern Zillah!... I am a May quitter (and every day for the rest of my life).

I got your back man... Lets do this shit.

Today was the first visit to the dentist since my quit....gum recession noted as worse than before, and duly chastised for it. "You WILL lose teeth if this gets any worse." I told him I've been quit for 26 days and about this web site. He was very interested in hearing about KTC, and the accountability methods. He said that on any given day he sees at least 1-2 patients who dip. And he is always looking for ways to help them quit. I told him it wasn't for everyone and was an aggressive in-your-face process. He liked the idea of peer pressure, personal accountability, and the daily posting of roll. He will start spreading the gospel according to www.killthecan.org.

I am really proud that you went to the dentist. That is always a hard thing to do when you know you will get the "lecture". Good job. Keep on keeping on!

I shared my HOF speech with a person from the First District Health tobacco cessation specialist, she was very interested in how I was able to make it to 282 days...I told her about the site and she is going to start recommending this site to people sees. I told her its not for everyone but if you want it real come here.

Zillah you just keep on doing what you are doing and you will get there your mouth can bounce back but just remember you didn't get that way overnight and you wont get fixed over night either. The important part is that you got the nasty poison out of your body and you are on your way.

I posted this on the main page, but it probably was buried by all the subsequent posts...so I am re-posting.

"So, April 14'er's. This is our group. The Resolute Bastards. However, it seems some of us are not very "resolute' when it comes to Posting Roll. I see about 9~10 guys that think it's okay to post roll for a few days, then take a day "off", post roll for a few days, then take another day "off. WTF. There are no days off! Post roll every morning! It is a sacred responsibility. Get on it."

ExNuke and I stepped up to update the Accountability Spreadsheet. We do that several times per day to ensure all you bastards are in. We also send PM's to people to rattle them. Sometimes no response, sometimes "I forgot", sometimes "I posted but it didn't take." Okay, well bullshit. The rest of us make sure that our Posting Roll took that day. Make sure yours did. There are guys in other groups that have posted for 1000+ days WITHOUT MISSING A DAY OF POSTING ROLL. So, we need to care as much as they do.

Come on April '14'er's, get a little bit tougher, on yourself and your fellow quitters. Accountability is not a dirty word. I sense slack in our group. Remember that from now on, there will be no more newbie churn. The members we've got, are the members we've got. WE ARE IT. Get your support networks built and strengthened with your fellow members. There is no room here for part time quitters who just check in from time to time. There is no room here for lurking in the shadows.

Get with the program, and GET YOUR QUIT ON!
ZC.

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." That's true for out country, and is true for conquering our addiction. The nic bitch will take advantage of your complacency...So always be vigilant and never, ever let your guard down. Be Resolute fellow April quitters! I quit with all of you again today.

Good stuff ZC! I'm quitting with you like you are quitting with me!
