Ok, day 1 in the back pocket.  Tomorrow I will more than likely be the first to post, so I just copy that again and change my day from 1 to 2 correct?

Welcome to the Drippy dicks of December, or Triple D's for short. Congrats on nutting up and joining the quit today. Tomorrow is gonna suck bigtime. Read through the last couple of weeks of December roll call - you'll laugh your ass off and it'll help take the edge off the suck. You will win one day at a time.

I prefer to post a witty remark about the size of my quithood when I post roll. It sends a message to the nic bitch to WATCH OUT.

Awesome! I know making that choice feels like the toughest thing in the world right now, but I can guarantee that you're doing the right thing.

Hi guys, just signed up.  I have not quit yet, I have some questions on a few things, and am looking for help.  I will say again, I have not quit yet, just so there is no confusion, but I am absolutely sick of this crap.

I started at the age of 18, and am currently 33.  I stopped for about 4 years and had a bad week and had nowhere to turn and let the voice get to me.  I caved in like a pussy.  Last time I replaced one addiction with another.  I started working out, and hit the gym hard.  Every day it was my goal beat the shit out of the weights and wear myself down to nothing.  That's going to be a big part of my plan this time as well.  I am hoping you guys will take me, as I know that the support of people who know what you are going through is huge.

I am confused on roll call, and if there are any pre-quit conditions I need to do.

Thank you

Hoyle,

Welcome. Posting roll is a pretty easy thing, but I was a little nervous at first with it. There's pretty solid instructions in the Welcome Center (the pink link above) on how to do it. There's even a video. Most of us in the December group (that's me and you and about 30 others) are just barely getting it down, but there's a ton of pros and vets who help keep things straight.

Listen man, make the quit happen today. I'm sure you know this, but almost every one of us here used to "quit" at the end of each can or at the end of each dip; make today the real deal and make it the quit that you're going to ride. Post roll and make it to tomorrow and post again and be accountable to yourself and to us.

I'm day 6 on my quit, so I may not be the pro you're looking for for advice on this, but my quit is going to last to the end of today, and when I post tomorrow...my quit will last then, too.

Just dump that shit and get on board.

First I want to congratulate Hoyle on your decision to take back your life. Awesome.

Second, WOW!! Read this thread again and know that this is a beautiful thing. Just beautiful.

I'm proud to be with all of you on this journey.

Hoyle, You can do this. Yesterday was my day 100 and I'm telling you those 100 days flew by. I'm not 'cured' and there was no fireworks yesterday but it's a milestone and you can get there by just quitting TODAY.

Hoyle, just get through today without chewing. It will suck, but it will suck a little less each day, and soon it won't be bad at all. We are here to support you. You can do this, we've all been there.

I experienced the same thing: time seemed to stand still for a month or so. Even when I was feeling good, time still seemed to drag. It will get better after a while, just keep putting minutes and hours between you and nic.

I hear that Hoyle. Woke up this morning after getting a good 2-3 hours of sleep feeling like my body temperature rose by about a 1000 degrees. I've been up since 7:15 and somehow it's only noon.

Gonna be a long day.

You can do this. I don't care if the day feels like a fucking month. You are clean. You have quit. You have made the decision to take back your life. Think about everyone of those moments as a new moment of freedom you are experiencing. No more "waiting for a dip". You are free friend. I kind of look at this period as all the strength and power coming back into your body while the nic bitch leaves. You're becoming whole again. Revel in this. You are powerful again.

Hoyle its just a part of the fatigue syndrome that goes along with your nic withdrawals ,it will pass soon. Remember stay strong and take your quit one day at a time, and that my friend is the key to success! Proud to be quit with you today!! nico

And, now that you are QUIT, you get the official "according to" label back again.

I shant miss it. People have been quoting me for some time, saying "according to Gump" this and "according to Gump" that. It lacks that certain...I don't know what, panache, something.

Now it's back where it belongs, and folks will once again proclaim "According to Hoyle" and follow up with whatever they believe with utmost certainty.

Well done indeed, sirrah!
