Hey Jack,
Today, I quit with you, my brother. This shit ain't gon' do nothing for you, but expedite your death. Make sure you post roll...I'll post a link that will show you the ropes. You need to link with a quit group. Because you are coming in when you are, you would be with the Jan 2016 group. This is the group that will hit 100 days quit in January. We are called the Dog House. I will drop my digits in your inbox. Hit me up and I can add you to the Dog House groupme. It is a supportive supplement to every thing on this site. We can support u and show you the KTC ropes.

Nice move jack_smiff1! Being 4 days quit is great - the nicotine is already out of your body. Now the battle with your dip diseased brain begins. Read everything you can here, believe it or not you are not unique and you are not the first person in the world to quit nicotine cold turkey.
I found that lots of water, deep breaths on occasion, and some exercise helped a lot.

Welcome to the dawg house brother

Jack welcome! Read, listen, learn and post roll when your eyes open, Odaat! Quit while you young. I dipped 38 year's and 281 day's later thanks to all my brothers and sister's on here I'm no longer a slave to nic! Quit on!

People from Michigan have large quit dicks! Quitting with you today.

Keeping up the good work, my fellow DOG.
We got this!

Well guys here we are 74 days in, I can say I feel a little better and handling myself better. I started to eat right and not snack all the time lost around 30 pounds. Im transferring to Lawrence Tech in a month to play college lacrosse. Christmas is in 12 days, but I can't seem to find that spark of happiness I used to have. I'm battling depression and anxiety and its transferred into Depersonalization. It's going to be a long battle to be back to normal but I can do this. Got my Fam, Friends, The Dog House, and KTC behind me. Lets conquer the world.

Have you seen a doctor yet to get some meds?
I never had anxiety until I quit, mine hit around day 50 or so. Once I visited the doc and told him what I was going through, he gave me Xanax. Now, I only took mine a few times as needed.
Do yourself a favor and go see a doctor. I promise you will pull through that part of the quit.
I quit with you.

I see a therapist and talk to him once a week, but it honestly doesn't seem to help. I don't really want to take meds at all I just want it gone.

Hey man the 70s were pretty shitty for me overall. Don't know what changed physiologically/psychologically over the past 10 days but I struggled a little more than normal.
Most annoying part of this quit for me is my fucking mouth waters... ALL THE TIME. It's to a point that I've wasted a few hours Googling wtf a over-watery mouth means only to arrive at no solution. Anyway, I have also noticed in the past 25 days or so that I am consuming more alcohol than I was before. Had kind of a slip up where my dumb ass blacked out this past weekend and it has been years since I have done that... so I am going to be thankful I got a little wake up call and had nothing bad to show from it other than a really terrible hangover.
Can't put one addiction to bed and develop a new one... that would be somewhat counterproductive I believe.
The struggle is fucking real my friend. Hang in there.

You think that.
There are times in your quit that are more dangerous than others. We lose a ton of guys in the first week because the first week sucks. Those that aren't ready to quit or want to do it "their way" get taken out or disappear quickly. The next hurdle is in the 20s. You're feeling good in your quit but the need for "normalcy" starts to hit. Think about New Year's Resolutions to lose weight. Gyms are packed for the month of January but are ghost towns in February. It's when changes start to lose their luster and convenience can trump the hard work you've put in. It's also here that many get sick of the drama that is quitting. Quitting ain't always pretty. Funks will hit again in the 40s and 70s. These are just the cyclical nature of quitting. Quitting can be like a pendulum a lot of times where good times are followed by bad times with regularity.
Many quitters limp into the hall of fame thinking "Hey...I'm on day 100. I'm cured. I have all I need." and then disappear. It's the third most common take down point to the quitters here. The nic witch waits. She sees you cross the "finish line" and concedes her control. She wants you to know that you've won. She's a liar. She'll start tempting you hardcore indirectly. She'll tell you that you don't need this. You can enjoy a cigar. You weren't really that addicted. And then she'll hit you with a nasty funk right at 120.
Quitting isn't a decision. It's a decision and the follow-up. One of the hardest concepts to understand in quit is that the long term means nothing. It's right now. We don't get through this moment and we won't see tomorrow. Don't look forward to good times dictated by arbitrary numbers. Know that you're quit and know what you've done to get quit. Keep doing that (posting roll, keeping your word, and repeating). Some days, you're going to need this board more than others. That's ok. Sometimes, you won't. That's ok too. The important thing is to know that you need to pursue quit and pursuing your quit means posting roll, keeping your word, and repeating. That's all I know. That's all I ask.
Sometimes it's hard to see the forest from the trees. You've come so far from your first days quit. The pain now sucks but it pales in comparison to day 2. Never again man. You're so much closer to that resting pendulum than you were yesterday.

I can't echo Pab enough here Smiff. College was when I put my feet into the cement of nicotine addiction. You are doing something right now that I wasn't strong enough to do when I was your age. Stay with it and you won't have the same regrets that I do tonight.
I'm proud to quit with you today!

I find myself now in the mid 80s, really starting to find myself as a person. This quit and these mental problems I'm having are really shaping myself as a person. To appreciate health and my family, to put myself forward and better myself as a whole. I needed to recognize the small goals and victories. While battling this depression and anxiety has made it that much more difficult in my quit, I know it'll make me that much stronger as an adult and human. I'm starting to set my mindset for greatness, and I want nothing satisfaction when I do achieve what I want. I know tomorrow I may wake up not feeling this feeling, but I know right now at this moment i'll allow this victory. This less than 20 days from HOF, I'm a better person I was 84 days ago.

I'm really looking forward to celebrating the HOF with all of you D.O.G. folks. I got to help a few of you guys when I was struggling myself. It really helped my quit. The truth is that all of us here need support, so we should all be supporting as many people as we can.
Maintain a strong web of support here Smiff. Day 100 will be awesome but that is just a milestone on the journey. B)B

You've come a long way Smiff. You came in sarcastic and ready to buck the trends laid out for you. Eventually, it became evident to you that this quit thing was more than another stop on the internet for you every day. What hasn't changed is your desire to quit, and it's evident in your posts. Maintain that desire. Feed it. Water it. Shape it. Your very own quit chia pet if you will. Whether you know it or not, you are a leader in there. Keep it up, there are many more good things to come.
Edit: You're still a sarcastic whippersnapper, but at least you're putting it to good use now 'na na'

Maintain a strong web of support here Smiff. Day 100 will be awesome but that is just a milestone on the journey. B)B
Thank you brother I appreciate it! Got your back always!
You've come a long way Smiff. You came in sarcastic and ready to buck the trends laid out for you. Eventually, it became evident to you that this quit thing was more than another stop on the internet for you every day. What hasn't changed is your desire to quit, and it's evident in your posts. Maintain that desire. Feed it. Water it. Shape it. Your very own quit chia pet if you will. Whether you know it or not, you are a leader in there. Keep it up, there are many more good things to come.
Edit: You're still a sarcastic whippersnapper, but at least you're putting it to good use now 'na na'
Thanks king you the man! And sarcasm is just another form of intelligence!

I find myself now in the mid 80s, really starting to find myself as a person. This quit and these mental problems I'm having are really shaping myself as a person. To appreciate health and my family, to put myself forward and better myself as a whole. I needed to recognize the small goals and victories. While battling this depression and anxiety has made it that much more difficult in my quit, I know it'll make me that much stronger as an adult and human. I'm starting to set my mindset for greatness, and I want nothing satisfaction when I do achieve what I want. I know tomorrow I may wake up not feeling this feeling, but I know right now at this moment i'll allow this victory. This less than 20 days from HOF, I'm a better person I was 84 days ago.

So here we are at day 96, its hard to say if i really feel better than the first day i quit. It was probably worse, but what i wake up and face everyday has becoming to weigh heavy on my back. Mental health is no joke and i continually crave that normality that used to come with my life. While i stumble to the HOF still quit and still striving i find myself just missing what my life used to be like. Hopefully it goes away soon, theres been a lot of tension in my house the last couple of months and it a much needed relief in my life and my family is around the corner i'm hoping.

Jack, the time around Hall of Fame was rough for me as well. When people with lots of +1s say 100 days is not cured, that is what they mean. You will begin to have better days, but it is a bit of a roller coaster for a while and it does get better. Just remember you are winning versus a powerful opponent in nicotine -- every morning you post roll is a win.

I'm better than I was yesterday

Hit the 120s feeling good! Just got offered to coach youth lacrosse this summer!! Super excited!
-
So here we are i guess, hitting the 130s and wow! Do i feel like i'm on day one! My anxiety has been very bad and I feel like i'm losing myself. My panic attacks are back, guess is the late HOF funk. I'll conquer it though, i can't explain the emotion i'm feeling. I'm guessing its just depression and anxiety. I'll keep you guys update... 'bang head'

Fuck depersonalization

Hey Smiff...
I hit that 150 Mark like you...then 190 to about 199wad hard for me... Depression set in for a while, Someone had to tell me, "its a funk, it will pass". And, it did, but i tell you, it had me freaked out a bit, i had no idea where it was coming from at the time it first started happening.
After 200, hit a few rough areas, but fewer and farther between.
Hang in there. Smiff, your a tough dog.

I remember that stretch... it sucked ass. I totally logged it in my intro but I'm too lazy to find it.
It was basically this...
You just spent every ounce of energy hitting that HOF mark. And it was goooood. Damn good! You ride that high for a little while y'know? Not very long but... a little while. It's that endorphin fade after a kick-ass workout. I ride about 20 miles a day and I love that afterglow. Anyway... it isn't long before you realize the sprint is actually a helluva lot longer than you realized. In fact... it's not a sprint at all. Dammit! The bigger picture intrudes a bit and, despite our day to day mantra, the long view is something you start to think about. I hit that around 130 too. Made me a li'l geeky for a bit so I just refocused and powered through. Tried to take a moment and enjoy that Quit from the front porch... enjoying the view I created.
Do the same, man. Slow down and revel in your accomplishment. Use the tools that got you here.

160s baby, haven't wrote in a long time! Got a new job and it pays very well for someone my age! I'm glad to be quit with all with you.

Smiff...my DoG! Man we get one day further into this every 24 and it feels incredible. Just spent some time looking back on our quit thread. Wow we were all fucked and foggy. Damn proud to be this far along with you. Let's do this shit again manana. Congrats on the new gig...beers are on you!

Anxiety and Depression sucks.. but what doesn't suck is getting paid good! The new job is awesome, purchasing and inventory management! Great resume boosting and I love the gig. Can't wait for warm weather on the lake!

Wow it's been along time, i started to ghost and post but i'm back. Dogs got my back so fuck it lets get it then!

I just wanted to put it out there for those who are continuing in the struggle to quit or keep quit and honestly just do it. It sucks ya it feels like you're losing your best friend but really you're putting down the dog thats been sick for a long time. It does nothing good for you and people fail to realize that. I finally have spending money for things i want instead of need. I can taste better, smell better, and my blood pressure is down. There's nothing but benefits to quitting that shit, it's just do you have the balls do face that you can function without it and wake up every morning to post your promise to you and your group? Stay quit
