Day 164.
Feel slightly better this morning. Still pretty emotionally numb and find it impossible to find joy in anything. Not even looking forward to a 4 day weekend. Hopefully that will pass in time. I remember when I felt like that in the morning I would put in a big bite and all was good. Crazy how a can of dead plants can hijack the reward center of your brain.
I promise not to dip today.

worktowin 3,986.  Today I am so thankful that I live in the greatest country on earth.  So much to be thankful for.  Honored to quit with you winners.
I’m thankful that I don’t have to hide from anyone to ninja dip. I’m also thankful for having a quit family here on KTC. Happy Thanksgiving

Day 163. Same as yesterday. No joy in anything. Feel like an emotions less robot. I can only take it one day at a time and on this day I promise not to dip.
MN/2,767 - any plans for Thanksgiving? Are you hosting or traveling or just chilling at home?

In the spirit of the holiday, try to make a conscious decision each day to find something to be thankful for and reflect on that. It may be difficult but it can help your brain as it recovers from decades of nicotine abuse.

Worktowin 3,985. Weird holiday. My closest relatives all passed away in the past 2 years so this holiday is with wife’s family. Still a lot to be thankful for. Starting with living in the greatest country on earth and being part of a bad as quit team.
No plans for thanksgiving this year. Wife has to work, Son and family are going to daughter in law’s parents. I got the day off so I’ll just find something to do out in the garage. Just another day for me.
My head muscles are starting to tighten up again. Here comes another wave of anxiety. Last one lasted about two weeks. Hope this one ain’t as long.

Day 162. Feeling pretty flat and emotionless. No joy in anything. It’s my angry brain punishing me because it wants nicotine. Life is boring without it but that’s okay because nicotine is behind me. I promise not to dip today.

MN/2,766 learn to hate nicotine with every fiber of your being. it takes time but it's a mental shift that really strengthens the quit. I thought I hated nicotine when I quit knowing the hold it had on me. But it wasn't until hundreds of days into my quit that I truly learned to abhor both the chemical and everything it stole from me. Then at that point, even the thing that are 'boring' without dip take on a whole new light.
worktowin 3,984.  Happy birhtday to me!  I'm off work today, free from nicotine, and grocery shopping for thanksgiving!
Happy birthday bud. Happy to be quit with all of you today.
