Okay, explain that to my wife. I'm a FOQer.
In Week 3 you will begin to get to know your fellow quitters. You'll get a feel for their personalities and what motivates (or demotivates) them. It's interesting.
Here again we've been thrown into a group of men (and women) from around the country that we don't know.
We don't know their background.
We don't know what they do
We don't even know their names!!
But somehow we begin to bond and form a community. It is sustaining and refreshing.
These are the guys that during this week you need to get their emails and phone numbers.
Expand the internet based community and TALK TO FUCKING SOMEONE!!!!!!
In 100 days these guys will be your friends.
RULE FOR WEEK #3: Become a part of and support your local COMMUNITY.
________________________________________________________________Highlights/Posts and thoughts from this week
This week I was back in CT and of course praying for a dip. But everytime I thought about it I went back to the site.
I have to stay busy. I have to be distracted. In order to do that I devised ways to calculate the percentages of the FOQers roll posting habits. I separated our group into different categories based on how frequently they posted. I sent notes out every night on this shit.
If I didn't do this then I'd cave. That's what I told myself.
This was the week that BLF got relegated to May for the cigarette he smoked and the legendary "mushroom stamp" comment was formulated!!!
Here's some posts I enjoyed that week:
The mushroom stamp is born!

----- CAN"T BE PART OF THE GROUP ------To : The April Group, The 7 or 8 who sent me personal E-mails last evening & to those assholes who think their prick is bigger than mine :I would like to apologize for failing the group. I really, really feel bad about letting you down. For those of you unaware; I had a cigarette on Saturday night and thought I was safe since I did not dip; ( I apparently did not read all the rules ), however, it seems this counts as a “cave”. So …. I had a really, really shit day Monday & even a worse one Tuesday - ( work & family related ) – I came here last night and asked the question "Am I still good to go since I only smoked a cigarette and did not dip!” ( I guess I thought deep down that perhaps this was not an exception to the rule ) And to my surprise … or to what I thought, this did not make everything peachy kin with my quite. So ….. having 2 REALLY SHITY days back to back and then to find out that my 20 days of No Dip was null and void by having 1 smoke …. Well it really pissed me off and then a couple of assholes in here proceeded to chastise me like a 3 year old and that pushed me over the edge …. I left here with every intention of buying a can and finishing it last evening. Well … I didn’t b/c I still have been off dip for 21 days … I did buy a pack of smokes and had 2 last night and a couple today … So … I lost / failed …. I hate smoking and am actually allergic to it. But it pissed me off that I did not read all the rules and my quite was voided by 1 mistake - - - my fault - - - I should have read all the rules - - - I thought I was getting around the rules & still keeping my promise. I wish all in April 09 luck & I still have not had a dip - - - but - - - have broken the rules and need to get through some shit before I can l get geared back up and kick all nic and hopefully be back hear to post next monthTo those who e-mailed - - - Sincere heart felt thank you & I am so sorry I did not live up to your expectationsTo those assholes who I am pretty sure are gay; that thought it was funny to chastise me last evening ----- if I ever find you alone in ally …. I will rip open your skull & shit down your throat & just before you die … I say hey, yeah, you beat the nic & I didn’t … but … MY DICK IS STILL BIGGER - - - then I will take it out and mushroom stamp your fucking faggot forehead !!!

This was from Animal/Dean and it showed his struggle. I loved this:
Tobacco: A good habit to break
We took the picture, though we admit it isn’t pretty.Thursday’s Goshen News included a special section titled “Healthy Living.” The cover photo was of someone — in this case “hand model” Michael Wanbaugh, The News’ managing editor — pinching a generous portion of chewing tobacco. However unsightly, the photo highlighted an article we were happy to publish.The article was about Wakarusa resident Dean Weldy, who’s working to break his smokeless tobacco habit. Weldy has gone 180 days or so tobacco-free. The News wishes him continued success.The “Healthy Living” piece also pointed out that help is available for those serious about going tobacco-free. And that help can be found online.Weldy has benefited from the Internet site killthecan.org. Members join a “quit group,” communicate through a bulletin board, and are able to telephone or e-mail each other. Support is important, and that support being available via the Internet makes sense in 2009.What makes more sense, in our view, is never using tobacco products in the first place.Much has been written about the ills of cigarettes, chewing tobacco, etc. Summing it up is easy: This stuff can kill you. Still, young people mindful of medical evidence continue to take up the habit. That’s perplexing and sad.The News applauds the Dean Weldys of the world who’ve decided to make a change. They’ve made the right choice. We also think the right choice can be made a bit earlier.
