Hello Day 25!!!

Feeling good, but a lot of anxiety and anger. Iv been hard to be around for a few weeks, I'll bet.

Each day I'm realizing more and more what a lie Nicotine is, and how it offered me nothing. Death maybe. I freely gave all of those years with a mouthful of shit........for nothing in return,but pain and rage and discomfort. I get to endure this addiction for the rest of my life........but hey, at least I got to spit brown streams of nastiness and feel the burn of brown doo doo stuck in my face. What a trade!!!!!!


. Not feeling it today.
Hello there.

I am glad that today was a good day for you. Don't forget day one now....or you will be deemed to redo it all over again. It is great to have that monkey on your back take a break, for that craving to be less, for your mind to be filled with other thoughts other than getting a big old fat dip in your mouth.....but don't forget day one. Guess what.....it keeps getting better.

Emotional rollercoaster, mood swings of extreme measures, just plain bitchy and irritated......are all okay. Deal with it. Keep posting like you do. Get angry. Hate nicotine more each day.

It will keep you going.

Remember. It is only 24 hours. I can give you 24 hours.
Quit with you and quittin like a girl.

Hello Day 15!

Feeling good, with some serious anxiety and cravings that come and go at random. Rather bizarre. Nothing unbearable, though .....just sucks lol.

I've had the chance to get to know some fellow quitters in my group.....thx for putting up with my daily texts. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to staying in touch with you guys.

Beginning to learn more about my profile, settings, etc... (I learned that you cannot change your username......if I'd known, perhaps I would have put more thought into it lol)

Anyway,
Today has been another good day and I can't wait to quit again tomorrow.
(Yeah...about that user name thing...wishing I'd maybe spent a little more time too. But, like dipping, what's done is done. You can't change the past, so don't worry about it. The future isn't here yet, so don't worry about that either. Only worry about what you can control...today, right now, this five minutes.

By now, the nicotine is out of your system. You're running clean for the first time in years. Congrats. Take note of your success. But remember, the Nic Bitch is still there. One thing that used to overwhelm me was the thought of "quitting forever." I would getting to thinking down the line...next week, next month, next holiday, next year, next hunting season, etc. And I would cave. I didn't know how to stay quit...which is really the most important part.

So, here's how to stay quit. POST ROLL EVERYDAY, KEEP YOUR WORD, STAY GLUED TO THIS SITE. You just need to focus on today. Don't worry about the future. We'll deal with it when it gets here. You're with us now...living free. And that's all that matters. ODAAT

Everyday free of that nasty weed is a solid day of quit. Way to take charge of your quit. 15 days is badass!

Well, today is Day 8 and it's the first day I woke up feeling normal. No dizziness or fog. Just felt normal......which is a Fantastic feeling after 7 other sick/miserable days.

I know I'm still just getting started, though. Looking forward to another day quit....and another upcoming week under my belt.

Getting a little easier....
The ups and downs are pretty dramatic for the first few weeks and months, but after that things start to smooth out. That being said, make sure you don't start looking too far into the future. Just win today. You can't quit tomorrow or for the next week without getting through today first. It sounds silly, but your mindset in these first few days will determine whether you get your head right for this battle or not. If you get your mindset correct from the get-go, you will be open to receiving the tools this place has to offer to do battle with your addiction today.

Today is day 550 for me and I still take it ODAAT. I don't struggle with the battle like I did in the beginning. I embrace my freedom every day and I have this place to thank for giving me the tools to get this far. If I was on day 8 and tried to imagine day 550, it would have been a mountain too steep to climb and I would have become discouraged -- a sure-fire way to fail at quitting.

Be proud of day 8. You've kicked nic's ass for a solid week. Keep your promise today and get back in here and do it again tomorrow. The journey, while painful at times, should be enjoyed as much as possible. You're taking your life back.

Welcome to your parole from NicoPrison. My name is Jim; my parole date is 11/11/2016. Yes, parole...not release. See my signature for more info on that one.

I suggest you start posting roll. I believe your group is April 2017; you should go there and post an intro. This will be essential in your complying with your parole's only term - no nicotine in any form, ever.

I hope to see you more on here. It's always good to see any new parolee show up here. Keep it quit! ;o)

My Intro
« on: January 07, 2017, 11:11:00 PM »
Hello everybody,

I'm new to this site and just wanted to introduce myself. I've been a Nicotine addict for about 20 years now. I have stopped twice for about 8 months to a year each time, but always ended up going back to it.

I decided to quit cold turkey on New Year's Day, with no plan other than to suck it up and get through it. And then I found this community a couple days into my Quit....Day 3, I think- worste day so far.

Everything I read and those I've had contact with already.....Awesome.

So, today is Day 6 and I can't wait to quit with you all tomorrow. 7 days Nicotine free!!!!

Are there any Christian Brothers/Sisters out there?
