Everyday is worse than the last. I’m trying my hardest to not snap at an employee or a customer at work but fuck this sucks

Day 27! Holy hell man. That is huge! One thing I did that about fucked me was looking at all the Vets day counts and I thought there is no damn way!! Holy shit how can I do that. I forgot that we promised for TODAY, not next week or next month. Each day got easier and easier and I promised for TODAY ONLY and worried about tomorrow, tomorrow. Fuck tomorrow. I am still in today.


I quit with you EDD

Each one of us has our own expectations when we come here to quit. Some know it's going to be a tough battle while others have some preconceived time frames of when they expect to feel better or when things will get 'easier'. The problem is that each person's quit will be different. For me, I didn't have much fog or headaches but I had strong cravings years into my quit. Other people have extended periods of fog or maybe elevated levels of anxiety. Some quitters really struggle with sleep or appetite while others not so much.

I think that is why here at KTC we push the attitude of 'one day at a time' (ODAAT). Today is all we can control. I would argue that every additional day that nicotine is not allowed into your body is progress. For some people, this progress may be like building with tiny Lego bricks. For others, it may be more like using cinder blocks. But this isn't a race or a competition. We are here to support each other every day as we build and nurture our ODAAT.

So to anyone getting discouraged or frustrated about not seeing "progress", throw out all preconceived notions of what you thought being quit was going to be like and quit for TODAY. The journey of a thousand miles begins with but a single step. And overcoming nicotine is not so much a sprint as a marathon. Find the positives each day and let your quit grow. In no time you will look back and realize just how far you have come.

I was never able to stop more than 21 days before finding KTC. Today I have the honor and privilege to post Day 1,228 (almost 3.5 years). Progress has been made but I know the journey continues!

You'd be better off chowing down a plate of dog turds to take your mind off dipping. Nicotine is what got you to this point and there's no sense having to quit twice. Time to part ways with that shit. Hundreds of millions of people living without ingesting nicotine every day, you can too.

Look at you, you pity party having snapping at work quitting bastard. I checked your group and you're still sticking in there. You're already up to day 10, twice as far as when you posted this, twice the progress, twice as strong now.

Nicotine has been flushed from your system for 7 days now. The cravings that you're feeling from here on out are just ghosts rattling old chains of addiction, tip your hat to them, tell them they can suck the fattest of dicks as you throw a handful of sunflower seeds in your mouth and get ready to post roll tomorrow morning.
