sluggo, I just wanted to say that you have come to the right place to quit, and it sounds like you have the right mindset coming in. Realizing you are an addict, acknowledging how stupid it is to let a poison weed rule you, and getting pissed enough to quit cold turkey. Keep that anger focused on ust and the poison. Post, read, and get involved everyday. PM me if you want my # or need anything. I will be quit with you all day.
I could quit all by myself if I was stranded on an island without any nicotine...

Does someone know how to post roll from a Mac?
I keep screwing it up...

Posting roll is similar to posting on this board. On the Mac, click on "quote". Scroll down and highlight the entire box in the "Original Post to Quote." Highlight this by using your mouse or by putting your cursor in this box and going up to "Edit" and selecting "select all". Then press "command" and "X" at the same time to cut. Then go up to the box at the top "Enter your Post" and press "command" and "V" at the same time to paste. If you don't like using the command button, going to the top of the page under "Edit" will also give you cut and paste options. Once you've pasted in the Post field. Scroll down and find the last entry of the Roll call (above the supporters line). Hit enter once, then type in your name and your promise. I quit with you brother (on my iMAC).

Appreciate it, thanks, brother.

Well, made it through a couple cocktails last night after dinner. I was slightly stressing about what would happen if I wanted a drink.
Smokey Mountain rocks! 'oh yeah'

Be careful with the drinks. Many have begun a new day 1 after to many. I've seen many fall with a lot more days then you have. Don't think for one second you got this licked. Quit with you today.

That's exactly what I said...it almost felt like cheating...but be vigilant because the minute you let your guard down, the minute you will loose. This is a battle - keep your weapons close and don't be afraid of what something might cause you to do, be prepared to not do it at all....especially in an early quit.

I abstained for the early days of my quit, but I like an adult beverage or 3. Just make sure you take it easy for the first few weeks, and getting really loaded is not advised.

Question for you grizzled veterans out there.
Would it be kosher to open a thread in this forum for my quit class?
Not just for my May 14 quit class, but a thread where we could consolidate as a class if we so chose. I haven't found anything prohibiting it, just not sure I saw anything like it. I know it's not the first time someone had the idea, so maybe we're supposed to stick to our May 14 Quit thread?
Thanks in advance.

Not sure, but I would say that if you just post how you feel on your thread and look at any of your quit-groups intro threads and post there you will be team building. Sad fact is that lots of your quit group will not make it, and many who do will not get very involved so I would say not to worry about it. You are going to be a leader for your group since you are going to be a few days/weeks ahead of most of them so you can try if you want...

I will be quit with you all day.

Was working out and 'Lover's Eyes' from Mumford and Sons comes on the iPod.
Substitute Dip/chew/snuff for 'lover's eyes' in the lyrics.

It either makes sense to you, or I'm weird…(maybe both).


Well, love was kind for a time
Now just aches and it makes me blind

This mirror holds my eyes too bright
I can't see the others in my life

Were we too young? Our heads too strong?
To bear the weight of these lover's eyes.
'Cause I feel numb, beneath your tongue
Beneath the curse of these lover's eyes.

But do not ask the price I paid,
I must live with my quiet rage,
Tame the ghosts in my head,
That run wild and wish me dead.
Should you shake my ash to the wind
Lord, forget all of my sins
Oh, don't let me die where I lie
Neath the curse of my lover's eyes.

'Cause there's no drink or drug I've tried
To rid the curse of these lover's eyes
And I feel numb, beneath your tongue
Your strength just makes me feel less strong

But do not ask the price I paid,
I must live with my quiet rage,
Tame the ghosts in my head,
That run wild and wish me dead.
Should you shake my ash to the wind
Lord, forget all of my sins
Don't let me die where I lie
Neath the curse of my lover's eyes.

And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow
Take my hand, help me on my way.
And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow
Take my hand, I'll be on my way.

And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow
Take my hand, help me on my way.
And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow
Take my hand, I'll be on my way.

Anyway, day 4 halfway gone, feeling pretty damn good. Smokey Mountain, gum and almonds are my constant companion. Odd, mouth where I used to hold dip almost feels puffy. Guess it's because I'm not assaulting it with poison 12 hours a day.

To the quit, and beyond!

Hey Sluggo I've been watching your quit and wanted to throw in my support here. Keep it up, you are doing it! It can get pretty hard at times, but each battle won is another one you don't have to fight again. It does get much better. Just keep your head down and trudge on when it gets tough, and take time to enjoy when it's not so tough.

My best tips are to be sure you are building out a network for your own accountability and support by getting to know fellow quitters of all experience levels, and to educate yourself on nicotine and addiction as much as you can. It really helps to know the enemy, and the more you learn the more likely you will become absolutely pissed about how evil this enemy really is.
Took my freedom back October 23, 2013.

Here's an article that taught me a lot and made me hate the addiction: Nicotine Addiction 101-- newer quitters check it out-- and vets do it too, to breathe new life into your quit!

24 Quitters I have met: Ihatecope, >Pinched<, T-Cell, grizzlyhasclaws, Canvasback, BaseballPlayer, Cbird65, ERDVM, BradleyGuy, Ted, Zeno, AppleJack, Bronc, Knockout, MookieBlaylock, Rdad, 2mch2lv4, MN_Ben, Natro, Lippizaner, Amquash, ChristopherJ, GDubya, Mogul. Each one was a real honor and continues to fortify my resolve to stay QUIT!

Just had to share this…Since my quit began I've had the absolute foulest gas of my life. The "If I had a dog, I wouldn't blame this on him" kind of flatulence.
I eat super clean, no wheat, no processed food, no fast food. Fighting this bitch, though, has got my bowels in a tectonic shift. A shift so massive that today I nasally assaulted a hottie at the gym. I'm on the treadmill grinding out my cardio and 10 minutes in a 7 face/9 body mounts the treadmill next to mine since it was the only one open at the time. I'm married so I really don't care, give her the nonchalant nod and soldier on. Ten minutes later, iPod streaming, ESPN on the little TV…I feel it coming on. I'm drenched in sweat, 40 minutes to go, trying my best to hold this thing in. Last thing I want to do is shart myself in the gym…I'm wearing shorts, got the visual?
Well, I try the one cheek sneak, and it works, a little. But trying to deliver this volume of putrid gas 25ml at a time isn't going to happen. But, I can't go full auto or everyone's going to the E.R. Over the course of the next 15 minutes I delivered a steady stream of putrefaction rivaled only by Fat Bastard. Since the treadmill next to our heroine is now empty, it's obvious that I'm the source. I couldn't blame it on her, she knows…she knows.
Alas, their is a limit to her nasal capacity. She gets off her treadmill and GOES DIRECTLY to a now empty one at the end of the line! No fake trip to the can, fake phone call or fake stretching! I was so proud and ashamed at the same time.
Guess i need to dye my hair now. But how do you dye a bald spot?

'crackup' well told!
Forget the hottie, you now have the ability to always get a machine at the fitness center, a table or chair at restaurants and bars. A seat at the big-boy table. Its a freaking super-power! Use it wisely...
Fish, eat, sleep. Repeat.
