Yes I did, but I think I did it wrong. My phone isn't the greatest when it comes to copying and pasting. But I did post sometime around 11:30. Btw, thx for the words of encouragement. Not serious? This is the longest I've gone without tobacco in 23 years. So I have one bad night after drinking and now I'm not serious? Please feel free not to post anymore on this thread.

Gooch, I know you're raging hard right now and we are here to support each other...sometimes the support is in a loving ball coddling way and sometimes it is an in your face, sack up type of support. If you are having trouble posting roll, then get help, practice, what ever it take to make sure your name is on the roll call. It is the foundation of this site and the means by which your integrity is measured around here. Are you serious about quitting? How about taking some time off of alcohol? It has ended many quits early. We are here for you man...but you have to dive in to this completely. No half assed, yeah I posted roll but now its gone shit. Check back in on your group and learn to fix bumps etc. Quit with you gooch.

I wasn't prepared to deal with the craves after drinking. Lesson learned. One day at a time and I'm still standing. And I don't lie. I posted roll earlier but I did it again after I was told it didn't show up. Still learning.

Quitting and learning and re-wiring go hand in hand. Your process of quit will grow stronger with each daily event of posting roll and taking nic off the table for Today.
I quit with You today. Just Today.
Fuck the craves. You're a quitter. Kick the craves to the curb ODAAT. One minute at a time when you need to. Exercise, water, gum, seeds, peanuts, candy, desk drawer. Desk drawer? Yeah. Place penis in desk drawer, slam = no more crave. LOL You got this brother. What ever it takes to "not" put the poison in our mouth for Today.
We are in this together.
Take what you need, give what you can, leave the bitchin' to the bitches.
1 problem + nicotine = 2 problems.
Cheers.
I also have this confidence that since I did this, I can do anything -mcarmo44

Drinking early on is a quit killer for many. It lessons inhibitions. Recommend staying off the sauce or significantly limiting it for a while. You can do this! QLF today.

Good job gooch. Every test survived makes your quit stronger. keep it up. Beware the booze early on. Lowered defenses are quit killers. Be on your guard all the time.

Not to harp but... Listen to our advice on the booze. It's VERY important to understand that it can become a replacement crutch to fill the seeming hole quitting is leaving in your life.

It's a dangerous vice this early in you quit.

Dude... You're killing this. Doing all the right things and being open about the pain of this. We get it! We've been through it too. Remember one thing ~ you're not alone. I'll repeat... Get involved and stay involved. All the support, motivation, and momentum you need to carry you along is found right here.

Rock it, man!

Getting a little easier every day. I can't believe I've made it 7 days! A couple months ago I never would have thought I could make it this long without. The support has been great and I have a friend who quit 2 yrs ago so I've been able to lean on him. Have a great weekend everyone.

I love this quit that you've started. Starts off with a roller coaster of quit rage coupled with some self-realizations and a touch of humility. Now you've jumped in head first, full on quit and using this site to the max. You're journaling your quit on your intro, while supporting other newbies and vets alike on theirs. Gooch, this is how you quit like fuck. As my boy AppleJack says, get involved and stay involved. Keep it up and continue being a leader.

It's been a whole week and it's great. Longest week I've had in a long time but I'm feeling great about this. I'm leaning heavily on this site and it's working. My mindset seems to have switched from constantly thinking how I'm going to get past a craving to I don't want to let myself and supporters down. Day 8 is all I'm concentrating on today.

Keep the focus, all your focus on your quit. You will continue to be in quit euphoria for ~30 days then you'll begin to have sporadic funks. Eight days is awesome. Keep it up.

You are getting some great advice here. Keep learning all you can to fight the addiction. And keep making new friends here to help you and to kick your ya know if you need that. Nice job logging what you go thru! Love it!
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!
