hey leather apron....you post in here yesterday that it is day 1 but then on today's roll call you also post day 1.

You are only allowed 1 day 1 around here. What, did you have a rough night and sneak a little pinch?

All this stuff is kinda tricky to figure out. I'm still tryin to hang out, read stuff, and figure out what's goin on. It's a little more complicated than fb. Last night was good. I havent dipped in 25 hours, 37 minutes. I'm not entirely sure if that makes me day 1 or day 2. I thought I'd play it safe and reset to this morning. Dont wanna try to sneak an extra day of credit when I dipped on the way to work yesterday. The way I figure, this is my first day of being quit.

If yesterday was the day you quit, then it was day 1. Today would be day 2. But most importantly, you have given us your word that you will not use nicotine TODAY. So do whatever it takes and be a man of your word TODAY. We'll deal with tomorrow when it gets here.
Day 1=January 7, 2011

Nice job LA. I see you posted roll AND support in Sept as day 1. Way to jump in and get this by the balls. You've got a bunch of support, money can't buy this quality of a QUIT. Use the tools, proud to be quit with you today. I quit today, you quit today.

Welcome Leather. Best decision of your life. Like 8up said, go over to December and post roll. When you post roll, that is the equivalent of you looking us in the eye and telling us you will not use nicotine today under any circumstances. Period. End of story. Worry about today and tomorrow will take care of itself. You have a some tough times ahead of you, but many of us have been in your shoes and will gladly tell you that it gets better than you can ever imagine. Just gut the next couple weeks out. If you need any help dont be afraid to ask.

Sugar, you need to quit for you. Your son will be a good enough reason for a while, but undoubtedly, that shit'll wear off. It usually does. Quit because YOU wanna quit. Quit because YOU know it's best for YOU. Quit because YOU know YOU gotta.

It's all about YOU. Not your mom, wife, brother, or son. You've lied to, cheated, and stolen from every single person you hold dear....however, YOU will not lie to us. You post Roll Call everyday, then live up to your word. Get to know the people in December and the vets who come in to support them/you. Find some guys that are close to the same quit days as you...be proactive and exchange numbers with them. Yeah, LOOT knows, sounds kinda creepy huh? These people will save YOU from YOU if you let them. Pay attention to what they say. Read all you can here.

Roll Call is the secret. Strangers are the key.

Never again for any reason.

they can never be "THE" reason to quit.

Dude, my 8 year old thought he was going to take a big swig of Daddy's Coke - only we all know the end to that story - it wasn't Coke. Even that wasn't enough to get me to quit. And yes, he remembers that!!! He is 10 now, and just the look on his face when I told him that I was done was enough to get me through day 2. That's all I need. Now I will get through day 3.

Goddam LOOT hit it spot on. Strangers are KEY to the QUIT. Making your promise to us is a huge motivator. I can't explain why. I don't care why. It works. Post roll.

I have a 7 year old son who once asked me what I has sucking on and if he could have some. That was in March. In April I quit. I didn't quit for my son. I love him more that I love myself... but he didn't make me quit.... I could explain it away to him. "daddy's midday snack - none for you" .... "adults only, buddy".... "...you wouldn't like it - it tastes like farts..." (I've used all of these)

I quit because -for some reason - I was ready. I didn't even realize I was ready. I was just ready.

My guess is you're ready. The kids are a great excuse - we all need milestones to mark major decisions in our life - we need to rationalize them... but maybe your just "ready."

129 days ago I was ready. After 26 years, I was ready. You're ready. Go post roll. Make your promise. Then do it again tomorrow.
The love you get here is conditional. The condition is that you are quit.

Leather... you got some heavy-hitters supporting you right here. These two guys are the real deal. It don't get any more die-hard that Loot and Mule. Do no let them down.

Some of us are just mouthy teenagers in our quits, but these two vets have some real wisdom.

DO NOT LET THEM DOWN.
