Title: Day 7
Post by: jaynellie on February 10, 2013, 05:54:00 PM
Hello fellow quitters. I have never felt so proud of being a "Quitter" in all of my life. This has been the first weekend in over half of my life time that I have been 100% completely nic free. I absolutely love the freedom and almost sense of calmness I am feeling right now as I write this. This site works if you work the site. Thank you KTC

Sounds like you are down with the program. I saw that you posted up in the May group. Fantastic, just keep making that promise each day, stay away from nicotine, rinse and repeat. Have you swapped numbers with at least 2 people from your group? If not, do it now. It helps to get a few layers of accountability going. PM me if you need anything.

Reading your post after your 1st weekend quit makes my quit stronger. We do get stronger being in touch with each other in KTC. This struggle is real. Its not very complicated. Promise and post each day, follow suggestions, and spend time reading and in chat as needed. Life is interesting. Thanks for your post.

I'm a newbie, I'm scared as hell. Tomorrow will be 10 days quit for me. The first 4 had to be the worst I will hopefully ever endure in my life. Unfortunately if I do not stay quit they will not be. I am a newbie but my quit is strong and my mind is ready like a sponge to soak in all the ups and downs, highs and lows that all my fellow brothers have and are going through. The thought that keeps running through my simple mind is "normal" people have cravings. Might be a piece of chocolate cake or a slice of pepperoni pizza. We all are addicts and our cravings usually involve the one thing that brought us here together to begin with. I have cravings throughout the day and i will continue to have craavings everyday. It doesn't matter if my number of days quit is 10 or 13,742. That is because I'm an addict and that my friends is why I am here. I am gaining all the tools that i possibly can to make sure that "I" can always keep the "craving from turning into a "caving". I am very proud to be quit today with all of you.

Go to welcome center (link is at the top.) read. Read again.
Go to quit groups. Look for pre HOF for May 2013. That's your group. Add your name to the list of quitters every morning.

It's a promise to quit every day. It's not a status update. It's a pledge to you and to us you are quit for the day.

Your craving so much because your addicted to nicotine.

You might crave pizza or cake but in moderation that shit wont kill you. You don't go so nuts when you crave it. Because you know you can scarf down a few slices and a piece of cake once in a while and be fine.

When you're addicted to nicotine, there is no once in awhile, and the cravings are much stronger because you have been programming your brain to posion it daily and when your brain doesn't get it, it gets PISSED and starts fucking with you.

Dip has chemicals in it that carve patheways in your brain that keep you addicted to it. Cake has flour, eggs, milk, and sugar in it. Good stuff for sure but nothing compared to the "hook power" of tobacco.

Good news is you can fill in those pathways. Just gonna take time and a whole lot of balls. This site will help you do it

Click on the pink "WELCOME CENTER" tab at the top left of the screen and read about posting roll and how to do it. Its the backbone of this site.

Need anything, shout out. We are here for you.

Jump in chat too and ask some questions if you have any.

Nicotine is like fucking a fat girl... it's a lot of fun until she smothers you and you can't breathe and you get a disease from her, but then you can't quit her because fat girls try harder and give the best blowjobs. Not that I would know of course.

Anyway in all seriousness remember how bad this sucks. It does get better I promise, and down the road when you are feeling fine and confident, remembering how bad it sucks will remind you to NEVER EVER EVER FOR ANY REASON get yourself addicted to something that makes you feel so terrible when you stop doing it.

You are on the right path. Take your life back. It is worth every bit of suck.

Checking back into my intro. Hard to believe it's been almost 7 weeks since I last posted on it. Day 56 quit and life is good,stressful and complicated at times but still good. The biggest change I have found in myself is the amount of self-esteem and pride I have found in my life.My wife and I own a R.V. repair shop and for the past 7 years I have felt so self conscience talking to customers with a big old lip turd hanging out there for all the world to see. I would have to plan my route to my toolbox if a customer was coming to talk to me so I could grab a stick of gum and cover up the shit breath I knew I had from the past 12 hours of gutting the "sludge" down my throat.I now speak and talk with extreme vigor and have no need for a bullshit excuse to go grab a stick of Wrigleys. I am very active on KTC and I take alot of personal pride when interacting with others on the site. I feel this is a great opportunity I have been given, and I do all I can to give and take 100% all the time. I thank all of the quit brothers for having my back through these first 56 days and I know you know I have yours. QLF today and I'll do it again tomorrow promise.

Well had only my second dip dream last night and no beating around the bush it fucking sucked.It wasn't even a can of worm dirt it was a god damn cigar.I found an old cigar at work in a customers RV and my eyes lit up like I was looking at a fucking gold bar.Anyhow I took the cigar and started unwrapping the leaves and tearing them into strips and shoving them in my lower lip.I woke up and was instantly pissed,not because I actually thought I had caved but because I once again was humbled by the fear and hatred I have of Nic now.Sitting here this morning typing this I realized that the past couple days I have had a couple very strong craves, stress induced from my current work schedule.I just stepped back for a few minutes threw in a stick of gum and all was fine.Got to keep swinging away at the bitch everyday.Day 68 and QLF today.Like Robbie say "Keep on Keeping On"!!

They suck, but I hope they never go away. Those dreams keep things in perspective for me. Last one I had several months ago caused me to wake up in a full sweat. I don't recall ever having any other kind of dream that was as vivid as dip dreams.

Smile because it Happened"

Really have been thinking about this a lot ever since I read it. Just wanted to share it with my amazing quit family tonight.QLF with you all.

Needed to get in here and update this a little bit. Been on a pretty good run as of late. I was able to hit the Hall here 26 days ago which was an amazing milestone and accomplishment. Last weekend I celebrated my 10 year anniversary with my bride,again great accomplishment. Then on Friday night I hate the privilege to watch my son graduate from HS. I remember on day 2 when wastepanel reached his had out to me when I was thick in the FOG and asked me "Why I why quitting"? Among other things and reasons I said "I wanted to watch my son graduate without a dip in my mouth"! Well that challenge has been met and it was Fucking Outstanding!!!During the ceremony the Valedictorian of the Class stood up and started in on her speech. Wonderful job of thanking teachers and family and friends of where she was and how she had gotten there.Then she referenced a quote from a book she had read. "You will never know how great you can be, if you don't know how good you are". My jaw literally dropped after hearing this and I asked my wife for a pen and scratch paper to write this down. This amazing 17-18 year old girl just said something so profound yet so simple it blew me away. I immediately related this to Quitting Nic and the different struggles we face daily. It doesn't matter where we are in our quit day 2 or 2,964. We must be proud of our day,share our day,embrace our day.I have given some people in there groups shit for not posting there day on roll. It really bothered me that someone wouldn't honestly know or care what day quit they just hit.I know writing or typing a day is just that a number or a digit,but it is a lot more for ME. It is validation that I did and will do exactly what "I" said "I" would do for another day. This isn't a popularity contest or a when I feel like it I will program.Strive to be great someday,know that you are good today. We will never be "Cured" but we will be the Greatest quitter's we can.

This isn't a popularity contest or a when I feel like it I will program.Strive to be great someday,know that you are good today. We will never be "Cured" but we will be the Greatest quitter's we can.

Just as wastepanel did for you... thank YOU for reaching out to me bro! Proud of you... proud to quit with you. Rock on brother...

Needed to get in here and update this a little bit. Been on a pretty good run as of late. I was able to hit the Hall here 26 days ago which was an amazing milestone and accomplishment. Last weekend I celebrated my 10 year anniversary with my bride,again great accomplishment. Then on Friday night I hate the privilege to watch my son graduate from HS. I remember on day 2 when wastepanel reached his had out to me when I was thick in the FOG and asked me "Why I why quitting"? Among other things and reasons I said "I wanted to watch my son graduate without a dip in my mouth"! Well that challenge has been met and it was Fucking Outstanding!!!During the ceremony the Valedictorian of the Class stood up and started in on her speech. Wonderful job of thanking teachers and family and friends of where she was and how she had gotten there.Then she referenced a quote from a book she had read. "You will never know how great you can be, if you don't know how good you are". My jaw literally dropped after hearing this and I asked my wife for a pen and scratch paper to write this down. This amazing 17-18 year old girl just said something so profound yet so simple it blew me away. I immediately related this to Quitting Nic and the different struggles we face daily. It doesn't matter where we are in our quit day 2 or 2,964. We must be proud of our day,share our day,embrace our day.I have given some people in there groups shit for not posting there day on roll.

Had a pretty crappy day....ran into a high school friend today who I knew was dealing with his father dying from cancer. Well he explained to me today that his father had past last month after a "Violent" battle with throat cancer.The doctors called it thyroid cancer but Mitch told me his dad chewed "No Less than 2 cans a day of Cope for as long as he can remember". Mitch explained to me that all the doctors could do is pump his dad full of pain killers to try and take the edge off. I can not explain the look in my friends eyes as he described the pain he knew his dad was feeling and going through. I felt so terrible to know he had past and to hear the pain the family had watched him go through.Today was awful but it also just makes me hate "The Bitch" that much more. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. QLFEDD!!!!!!!!!!

Hardcore man. It's sad that we need reminders of this type but we do. I can't even imagine that level of suffering yet, before we quit, we were all running full tilt blindly towards that end. Damn glad to be quit and to quit with you each day bro...
