I'm a QUITTER!!

[SirDerek]

Approximately 90 days ago freebe and I made a pact in chat one night to quit together and buy each others coins when we reached HOF. Mission accomplished!! We both made it. We had each others backs through the first 100 days. That first 30 days or so there was a lot of "damn man this is TOUGH I think about caving but I'm not going to! I'm not gonna be a bitch and cave are you? Fuck no I'm not caving we got this shit!

So today I was excited to come in and congratulate my quit partner on HOF. Well instead I got a pm from freebe

1 stating the fact that we both made it

2 That being on this site had created problems ion his personal life and that he would be deactivating his account here

3 He wanted me to make sure no one tries to contact him on his phone!! So I am doing this one last favor for him. Please respect his wishes

TJ -

I have caught you in chat a few times so hope you know a little where I am coming from, but would like for you to relay a few items to freebie.

1- he is not the only one who, through this site, has had personal problems with one's family. I found out (glad it was not too late), that with the time and effort that I had been spending on the site was away from my wife to the point of almost neglect. So I won't start to try to think about what he may be going through, or if there might be some other non-understanding with his family members, but pass that along, and I (and my wife) will offer to speak/message with any help we can.

2 - yes the 100 mark is a milestone but just a waypoint on a fantastic journey and that he will still need the support as there will come days, out of the blue, where he will feel like he was hit by a 2x4.

3 - And that leaves the final pass to him, and that is of brotherhood, family and/or friends that he has developed here during his time and why would he turn his back. Now this does not mean the need of buddy buddy each and every day like at the start, but the thing I have seen to help be successful is to never lose contact with those who were there for you and those you were there for.

We all go through phases, and maybe just time is needed, tell him to post and run for a week or two. Ask him to specify that handful of peeps that can continue to keep in touch. Tell him we are here for him and his family. But most of all tell him not to tear down that foundation he has worked so hard to build.

Wow, I have heard this before, but that there is addict talking as far as I am concerned.

Do you all know that 100 isn't the END?!

There are still tough times ahead.

"we got this" / "i don't think about nic any more , unless I'm here"

Why not just post roll only at least? I don't get it.

Hold on, one more thing.....

You are letting your brothers and sisters in quit down by leaving "via text" to another bad ass quit brother.

If that isn't a slap in the face, then nothing is....
I am more than disapointed. So many people here helped you and you in turn i thought helped others. I posted earlier in this very thread, because i was so proud of you. Now all i feel is disappointment. You can't even make one last post in here saying your goodbyes, i thought you were more than that.

Here were go, moving on to waking side by side with quitters who value this place (like i THOUGHT you did).

Congrats on making it through the first 30 days. A month is a huge accomplishment for an addict!!! I am proud to quit with you today brother!!! Stay strong ODAAT EDD!!!!

Thanks man, 30 days. Wow. I know it's a small number compared to many of the more seasoned quitters in here, but to me, that is a awesome milestone.

It still is weird from time to time, but every day I know I am more and more committed to not only getting this poison out of my life forever, but also doing what I can to heal up from the damage I've already caused.

Stopping MY quit will never be on my radar.

Just weird times right now. To be honest, I feel depressed, angry, proud, pissed, and like my best friend died while kicking my dog to death.

No one said this was gonna be easy, and I get that...just never seen the mind fuck running so deep.

Thanks for the support gang, you will see me posting a higher number tomorrow.

269 days later and I have every damn withdrawal you mentioned, so what, I'm quit and not killing myself daily! Nothing in life worth having has ever been given to me. I've worked for everything I have so why should quitting be any different? It's so worth it! Damn proud of you! Suck it up and learn to enjoy the day's of freedom if only an hour at a time. Remember the addict brain never forgets but you will learn how to laugh it off and ignore it. So I crave sweets every hour or so, but diabetes run in my family so I've learned from my nic addiction to say no to sweets . The brain is an awesome tool if used properly but we've screwed it so many year's with nic it's gonna take a long time to rewire! Damn proud to be quit with you today my brother! Stay tough, focused and learn to smile the hard days it helps!

Downside -
My energy levels are shit, and my motivation has gone to hell. Not sure if this is some sneaky part of quitting, but this isn't like me at all.

Patience. It will all come together.

Work out when you energy is low, just lower your goals for that workout.

Make a list of the things you must do, and do them; let the non-necessities wait for another day.

Patience.

MY quit is strong. I do not want to use again.

Yes, it is a normal thing. It takes time to rewire your brain to run without nicotine and your second month does drag on. It will get better.

The most difficult part of my quit was the late 20's, freebe. I had a case of the "F its". This means that I was questioning why I was putting myself through hell with nothing but more hell in sight. By day 30, it had dissipated, and I was damn proud that I had pushed through. Your "quit adrenaline" has worn off a little now that you've put in 3 solid weeks of quitting. Stick with and hold strong, it gets so much better brother.

Keep pushing forward, it gets easier and the victories even sweeter my man, you've got this.
