My quit had been kicking ass and getting easier by the day cruising into double digits. This week I noticed with the short bursts of deep sleep and vivid dreams I hadn't been resting well. Either get too much or not enough sleep. I have been resistant to lashing out at the wife and kids, or kicking the dog for suffering for my own stupidity but it must have been obvious because everyone left me alone. Yesterday the pressure was building and by the time I got home I was full blown raging. No one was home so I went for a walk to calm down. During this time I went from feeling sorry for myself, to being pissed off at the world, to fuming mad at that fucking bitch trying to own me again. She was full blown in my head demanding I come back. It took 2 hours of rage walking before kicking her shit lies out of my head. I told her to fuck off and step down, beat her ass, and left her at the curb. As I walked in the house exhausted from the battle I saw my wife, smiled, and gave her a hug. I think maybe for the first time in 11 days. Feeling better this morning and will make sure I go out of the way to run her over with a tire or two backing out of the driveway this morning. (The bitch, not my wife. LOL)
The battle gets easier. Keep the faith. You'll never have to relive the past 11 days.
Hey Camel-Killer,

Just a note of encouragement. As Work to Win said, you won't ever have to relive that (long as you stay clean) past eleven days. It DOES get easier. AND you are doing it right....don't take the rage out on others, but let it out in productive ways (although a 2 hour walk is a helluva lotta rage!!). The mental addiction is far harder to break than the physical one; it takes time to retrain your brain. Proud of the way you're getting this quit off the ground. Just keep at it and one day you'll be amazed at the difference in your life.
My friend it's one day at a time! One second, one minute just relish in the fact you are truly quit and every second,minute, hour or day that shits not in your mouth you're winning! We all understand where you're at and what you're going through. I fought for month's but I didn't give in, was it hard? Probably one of the hardest bouts I've ever been through but nothing compared to what cancer patients are going through. You're not walking alone as long as your name is on that roll! Quit on!
Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

Ready for my first weekend of quit with 4 days under my belt. Put my quit pants on and heading for home. No stops for chew or booze for me. I left my cell phone charging on the counter at home this morning when I left in a fog. Once I get home I will text everyone who reached out to me. Been a long ass week. My early cockiness and feeling like a boss has dulled throughout the week. Going to keep my promise today and will repeat tomorrow when it comes. Feeling kinda blue and deflated today with a nagging headache but at least I have my quit going for me. I've kept my word and feel good about that.
You are a boss. You have strung 4 days together giving nic the ol 'Finger' . While the gusto may have worn off for you temporarily, that does not take away from your success.

I remember my first weekend here. I was definitely in the funk and kind of in the blue state you describe. I spent several hours all three days that weekend reading HOF speeches, Introductions, Words of Wisdom, and different groups that interested me. Hours on end trying to understand the battle I was getting myself into. It worked. I got so engrossed in the site that by the time that first weekend was over I was "all-in." I was committed to the process and I was NOT going to let my fellow quitters down.

I'm not saying you need to spend hours doing the same thing, but try to spend some time here this weekend reading as much as you can tolerate. It will help you immensely with the commitment portion of this race. So many others that have come before you have been successful by following a simple method of quitting. You can do it. Better yet, you WILL do it.
Damn proud to be quit with you! Keep that attitude and you will stay ahead of the bitch! Quit on!
First weekend of winning that you've had in some time straight ahead.

One day at a time brother. You've got this.

Physical cravings are intense today. Glad I threw it out or I would have ate it up. Guy in front of me at the gas station bought 2 cans. Was an armed service man. Was going to pay for him but instead told him I quit yesterday. He just blankly stared at me. My mind is like a marshmallow and not much good to me today. I am having a hard time even talking. Carry on quitters.
Talking is overrated anyway... Just live for yourself, get through each hour, and find something you enjoy. I started a new book and although I can't read for very long it has been nice to find a new "thing" to do with my time..
The fog. Fuck the fog man. Once the sky clears, and it will, remember these feeling of what nicotine took from you. Get pissed about it. Think about the scared moments when your lip looked like it had been attacked by battery acid. Get out a calculator and start adding up the waste.

But most of all... It made every single one of is a liar. To ourselves... Ill quit tomorrow....when I'm 30... One more can and I'll quit... But most of all to others. I don't need to list those out, between excuses to get away or go to the store or long showers, we've all been masters at this.

I'm quit with you sir. If I can help at all send me a pm. You'll never regret quitting.
It's just fog! Eventually it will leave and a whole new world will open in front of you. Remember the suck, it will be with you until it's not. It's worth every damn second! Quit on!
