Today is day 1. 28 years being a slave, hiding the addiction, wasting money, and killing myself. Been spying on the site for a few months and today I finally got the stones to toss the rest of the crap out. i've been weaning off for the last two weeks and making it stick from today forward. |

Welcome, I am Luby, I am 78 days in. I can tell you with all honesty you have made 2 great decisions. The first great decision was to quit, the second was to do it with us. Not to brag but we are a pretty awesome group of bad ass quitters, and you are too since you chose to join us. Couple things. Go post roll, you'll be January so that is your quit group. Any questions on that click on "welcome center" it'll walk you through it. After you have done that you are quit with all of us for today, it's the most important thing you are gonna to today, because it's gonna save your life, and get all us bad ass quitters on your side. It's way easier to face this with us on your side.... So post your promise, hop in the fox hole, and I will quit with you today. |

Thanks for the offer Luby. I'll be on a plane myself tomorrow. Figured if I'm 700 miles from home with no car, I won't be able to get any easy. And meetings for 4 days, so my wife doesn't have to deal with the first few days. And they did say they wanted honest input in product design. |

Looks like Sunday is ninja day, I'll jump in: welcome, you've made a fantastic decision. Beware, as Luby knows, being away from home is t going to make it easier, but if you have given us your word (and your word is all you have here) then it doesn't matter. That option is off the table. Enjoy your trip, I'll bet they are going to get some dip rage inspired honesty, that's for sure! PM me if you need anything, you are in great company on this site. You've got this! |

Yep. I know the travel doesn't make it easier for me, my wife will still let me in the house. I'm a sales rep and my big problem is when I'm driving, so no car travel for 4 days either. This is mine. Done with the bitch. Don't know what I ever saw in her. |

That's an awesome attitude, I love to hear that! Remember, we aren't quitting forever. Just today. You post roll, you're promising that you can make it to bedtime. Tomorrow reevaluate and decide if you quit again. You can do anything for one day, including my exwife. Looking forward to your day 2! |

The bitch is hot until you take off her fake eyelashes, weave, fake teeth and fingernails. She looks like a rundown dirty whore from the other side, brother. Welcome. Keep the quit strong and come here to bitch about it. I quit with you today! |

Chose the less smart path tonight. Down at one of our plants in SC for product design review and we had a dinner and appetizer thing tonight. Of course had a couple of cold ones. NOT a good idea on day 2. Didn't put a dip in, but walking back to the hotel from the restaraunt, can't say I didn't look for a place to buy one. Today I made the choice not to poison myself. Hoping to wake up and make the same one tomorrow. Just needed to write it and admit it. |

You're right Poker. There is only do or don't. Sitting here with an Oregon Mint pouch in and eying up the gum. 28 years is a bitch of an oral fixation, but workin through it one day at a time. Thanks. I just needed to admit I was tempted. |

141 days in, four beers in, and I'm still craving. It was short and quick (that's what she said), but a craving none the less. This is a tough fight, but the freedom is worth it. If it was easy, everyone could do it. Post roll, keep your word, man up, and keep your word. |

Quit- 5/16/2011. One day at a time. HoF- 8/23/2011; 2nd Floor- 12/1/2011; 3rd Floor- 3/10/2012; 4th Floor- 6/18/2012; 5th Floor- 9/27/2012; 6th Floor- 1/4/2013; 7th Floor- 4/14/2013; 8th Floor- 7/23/2013; 9th Floor- 10/31/2013; 10th Floor- 2/8/2014; 11th Floor- 5/19/2014; 12th Floor- 8/27/2014; 13th Floor- 12/5/14; 14th floor- 3/15/15; 15th floor- 6/23/15; 16th floor- 10/1/15; 17th floor- 1/9/16; 18th floor- 4/18/16; 19th floor- 7/26/16; 20th floor- 11/4/16; 21st floor- 2/12/17; 22nd Floor- 5/23/17; 23rd Floor- 8/31/17; 24th Floor- 12/9/17; 25th floor- 3/19/18; 26th floor- 6/27/18 "He which hath no stomach to this fight let him depart. But we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers! For he today, that sheds his blood with me, shall always be my brother." (Wm. Shakespeare). For August '11. Who dares, wins. Stay quit... it is life or death and that is the undeniable truth. "To be driven by our appetites alone is slavery, while to obey a law that we have imposed on ourselves is freedom."
