Congratulations, Tony Gorilla! Thank you for being instrumental in MY quit. You're 100 days closer to 101.

'oh yeah'

Great job tony. Proud of you.

Tony, We've been walking the same path for the last 100 days. It's nice to board the train together. NAFAR brother.

Your a bad ass. This quitter Texted me almost every day for 100 days. I tried to help you but most of all you helped me. Quit with you.

Ok Magilla here's the deal.

Your hitting a funk. Your brain chemistry is literally rewiring. Having an epic case of the fuck its is a pretty good description of how it feels.

There is a fairly consistent pattern where quitters hit a rough patch around day 70 and again shortly after the Hof. Your right on track.

As for the escaping the " Pain"? , your looking down the wrong rabbit hole Alice.

Nicotine doesn't fix a broken heart, lost job, bad days, or anything else. Life is still throw you inside pitches and sometimes your gonna take one on the nose. Going back to dipping won't fix that.

Remember, while the hof is a fine accomplishment, but it isn't a finish line. You will not magically feel better on day 100. I will tell you that it still gets so much better. Just keep quitting ONE DAY AT A TIME.

Congrats on the Hof

we stick together - lions and hyena prey on the game that stray from the heard - the survivors hang out in the middle of the heard - that's where I want to be. Jbob

Wise words bro listen to them. Hang in there it will suck til it don't then it won't...?sM

Day 98 - It's been some time since I posted in my intro and I reckon that I will be posting in here again soon as the fabled HOF comes to fruition. However, yesterday, Day 97, was one of the most difficult and hard days yet. There has been a lot of crap going on with the ex-wife and I just wanted to escape the pain. there was nowhere to run except to KTC and the brothers I've made here. They helped me through the day and I made it, dip free. Another testament to the power of unity here at KTC. Thank you.

Peace.

Day 44. Damn if I am not feeling like shit the past few days. Cloudy. Sad. Can't seem to motivate myself wortha shit. Of course we've been under a pile of rain and flooding so can't go anywhere til now either. What is going on? I get so full of self-pity sometimes. I wanna cut myself off from the world. Stop giving a fuck. The lone wolf syndrome has kicked into high gear and there is a pain in me somewhere that I just can't seem to alleviate. I know this will pass, but I'm throwing it out there because I feel myself drifting from some of my brothers here and I'm attempting to get back in the middle of the pack. Don't want this bump in the road to be anything more than that- a bump.

Quit with you.

Peace.

You got the "fuck its". Totally normal and totally sucks .

Shake your fucking self my man. You know going back to the bitch will do no good. You busted balls for 44 days, don't fuck it up.

Why the self pity? Why cut yourself off to the outside world? What are you gonna do, walk around your house in an oversized stained sweatshirt , eating ice cream right out of the tub like a fat chick who can't get a date?

Why?

You miss her? You miss the nic bitch? You miss the sore lip, achy gums, numb tongue, shit breath, spitting into a bottle, dwindling pocket book, and increased risk of cancer?

You want to go back to her for one more bang for old times sake?

You know there's no "one more", you know it will only lead to more and more and eventually your dick falling off.

I get you're feeling down and in a rut, but FIGHT God Dammit!!! Don't bitch out and throw yourself a pity party. Ain't nobody here want to hear that shit.

Get up off the mat. Get involved with your quit group, comment on 10 intros threads, help a newbie, read some shit, but KEEP MOVING!!!!

The nic bitch LOVES a sitting target, don't give her a chance...get off your ass!!!

You got this shit, bro. We are here for you, use us!

Quit on...

Diesel is right, keep moving. Very good advice if taken literally. Go get some cardio, drink water. (not powerade, gatorade, koolaid, coke, redbull, coffee etc) water.

Getting some exercise will help you get out of the funk.

44 days is some good quitting gorilla. That is awesome work! Some difficult times out in your home state  I bet very stressful. Stay safe out there!

- First, the old gorilla... the "addicted to nicotine gorilla" would not have recognized this was happening. He would have went back to old ways... the "new, quit gorilla" recognizes a rough patch and wants to get back in the game. That is how a quitter thinks. I am proud of you bro! Recognize, react  hold that quit.

- Remember that just because you are quit... that does not stop the world around us. We are going to have good and bad times. Know that. The thing you go to remember is why you are here  know that you will be quit during both good and bad times. The quit is you! Just like waking up in the morning, brushing your teeth, eating... you are quit! You are doing this!

- Everyone goes thru these rough patches. We build the relationships with folks on this site to help get thru exactly what you are going thru. When all is well... quitting is easy. It is days like these... when it is just off or we feel like garbage that the the true accountability starts. We lean on and support each other!

- As stated above... do something that will get your mind moving in the right direction. Exercise is great... but just about anything to get your mind moving in the right direction.

You are doing this brother! I am damn proud to be quit with you! Now, wake up and post roll for a day 45!

Your going through one of them there funks. Dig deep brother and turn that 44 into 45,,, That's how quitting is done. Turn that funk into being proud of where you are. Turn that funk into victory. I think them funks are your brain saying thank you. I think the brain just wants to take a few days off after working hard to fix what you screwed up for years.

Exercise, get some pushups, go for a walk/run and then go get a milk shake. I like smoothies,, as a matter of fact i'm going to get one of those for lunch,, yea! Thanks for the idea.

You got this tony,, just bide your time. Great things coming, get through the next door. You will like what's on the other side. Damn glad to be quit with you.

NAFAR...bro... you got a ton of quit in you I would agree with DERK the old Gorilla would have not recognized would not have reached out. The new Gorilla is using his tools reaching out understanding that you are not an island. You have a 15K of addicts that are there for you and you for them. Keep it up pin your ears down and kick her ass.
