Day 201

Made it another 100 days. For me the second hundred days was harder than the first, but at least it went quicker.

Here's to the next 100!
Nice work bro. Good shit right there.

JJ - proud to quit with you every damn day brother. We're addicts for life. We will always have craves. But we get stronger. And fighting the craves gets easier. Kind of the opposite of marriage - oops my bad - ummm....hope things are still blissful post honeymoon......... :D

I hear you RL. I had a problem with that myself. I found it easier to move forward knowing and accepting the fact that craves are going to stick around for a long long time. Make peace with it and take it one day at a time.

It keeps getting better. Much better. Fuck those memories - they're just a bunch of lies. Some sort of Vulcan mind probe shit planted by the tobacco companies. You are smarter and tougher than them!

It is what it is.

We post roll when times are bad. We post roll when times are good.

It serves a purpose for both.

I am about a year quit. The last "crave" I had was last month. I was getting ready for a road trip to a concert with some smokers and chewers. I started thinking about how hard it was going to be to refuse if offered. I started thinking about what it would feel like to fail.

I posted roll early that morning, and I went on my trip. Shit was fucking easy to get through. It wasn't as hard as I imagined, and a few of the guys even held back with their usage while around me. I was more worked up over the trip and was fine during it.

What I'm saying here is fuck tomorrow. You can't get to 170 if you can't get through today. Any perception that you have about tomorrow is probably not real.

It gets better. Way better.

But there are bumps in the road, and right around the 200 area it's not the most fun. Luckily, you've learned so many ways to cope and have so much support here that failure is not an option. Think about how good it has been, and just imagine that time elongated. That's what happens the longer you are quit. Your good times get longer. You still have bad times, but they are fewer and far between.

You can do this.
In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

Holy shit these last couple of days have been tough. I keep thinking to myself "just one fucking dip. why not? who do I have to answer to? I'm a grown man, I should be able to do whatever I want."

Fucking killing me. I've put in the fake stuff maybe 6 times over the past 170 days and I have one in right now.

Fuck I curse the day I first put that shit in my mouth.

:wacko:
You'd have to answer to me and the QLF Crew, among others. Does someone need a narrative to get them over their funk?

I can relate on so many levels brother!!

I use the fake stuff and always have some handy just to keep myself in check!

This past weekend I was at my daughters softball tournament and was having some very serious craves....I kept thinking hey this guy over here has some ....I could just go bum one ....no one will ever know...... 'Crazy' What a dumb ass addicted mind will tell us is incredible!

Then its like this I talk myself totally out of it and throw in a fake fatty which tricks my mind and all better!

There is never going to be a good reason to go back to the nic-bitch and I have to always be on guard to punch the temptation away as soon as it comes up, by any means necessary!

Stay strong brother!

For 7 days I was in Jamaica.

No cell phone service.

Internet only in the lobby and I had to get a new login and password from the front desk to access it everyday.

I had to go out of my way and interrupt the leisurely care free flow of my honeymoon in order to simply post roll. It was a pain in the ass.

Did I miss a day of posting roll??

FUCK NO.

I understand that there are days where you may not be able to post roll. But unless you are overseas, in the military, or in a coma, those days are few and far between.

If you have any phone service you have absolutely no excuse.

That is all.
