Still haven't had the balls to post in roll call yet. I don't want to be "That guy that failed on day one"


MTAV, if you dont post roll then you dont have a QUIT going, if you dont have a QUIT going, you are wasting our time. Dont be that guy, be one of the Dec HOF group. Now is the time to make the commitment - one day at a time but you need to make the commitment. There is no time for half measures - you cant be a little pregnant - your a nicotine addict like the rest of us. But its in your control to do something about it if you want it - it all starts with making that daily promise and living up to it. Do it for yourself, your brother, anything just do it.

Don't worry at all about quitting on a whim!  I did........36 days ago my friend!  I quit 3 days before I found this site and have to say it is saving my life!!!!  Stick with it.  Can't sugar coat the first 5 days.....they will suck.  But one thing I can tell you is that at day 36 I feel AWESOME!!!!!  I feel brighter....happier.....and cleaner than I have in years.  So you have to work for a couple of weeks to get there but you can do it........proud to be quit WITH you today!

I like to read things like that, I was searching around a bit and didn't find much. I know the suck is talked about a lot. I like to hear positives of the quit after awhile. Like do people sleep better? Mentally do people feel better? (after the suck) Does food taste different?

I wish I could individually thank all of you! On night schedule makes things a bit weird for me, I woke up an hour an half ago. Didn't have my morning dip. Still haven't had the balls to post in roll call yet. I don't want to be "That guy that failed on day one"

I bit more about myself, I suffer from some anxiety disorders already, part of me is wonder if that part of my life is going to get harder with this quit. Yet this is one reason why I am quit. I have a gut feeling the dip is messing with my anxiety. I know a lot say we use to dip to relieve anxiety, and I can see that. But part of me wonders if the simulating effects are keeping the anxiety worse for me. I mean I gave up caffeine and anxiety got better, I drink a cup of coffee and it is much worse. I need to get this last stimulate out of my system! So this is a big reason for the scared part. That and I know deep down if I don't quit this is going to kill me. When I do not know but I know it is going to kill me.

Also I got thrown a curve ball one hour after waking up. My brother has Ankylosing spondylitis. He is 26 and is going to need a hip replacement. My first thought was damn this sucks, I need my can back. So for right now I am taking it minute by minute. Just reading all of your replies just now gave me more than I thought it would have.

Mtav, I get that you're nervous about how this is going to play out. But truth be told, that's where my empathy ends.

Each of us has our "stuff" in life. We all have our demons. We all have our baggage. We're all fucking addicts here, get it?

Having anxiety disorder here is irrelevant. I'm flat certain a minimum of 10 per cent of these guys have anxiety. Your brother's illness is a circumstance you and he have to deal with. But you pretty much, no fuck that...You totally threw both those things up as excuses not to post roll and promise us you won't use nicotine.

All I see so far is a guy who skipped a dip.

It's time for integrity. We want your promise, and nothing less than your promise, that you won't use nicotine today. If you refuse to do that, then you don't belong here.

MTav,

Welcome to your quit! Listen to Gump because he knows his quit but for him, sympathy is between shit and syphilis in the dictionary. This is why he is the resident enforcer. He just plain doesn't give a shit about excuses. I am not to that level (yet) but haven't seen the number of fuck-ups yet who cave on their quits.

I do think quitting lessens anxiety levels. I am on Day 18 and feel a lot better than I did on year 25. As far as the suck, we all suffer in different ways. For me, it manifests itself in lack of sleep and the occasional knock you upside your head urge and of course, the fog.

All this shit is prologue, however. Post roll and make your promise and you will have brothers here to support you.

Seriously, nothing since day 1? Guess you are THAT guy. Two pages worth of responses and a bunch of December supporters wasn't enough?
