Congrats on HOF Frogman. Proud to quit with you EDD

100 days is brilliant Bon Scott! For those about to quit, I salute you! [+] Spoiler yeah, I know the time frame is off, Bonn was dead before that, but enjoy the day despite my lame jokes

Congrats on 100. It's a great milestone. But stay with what got you to 100. It would be great to see you posting on day 200, 300, 400 etc.

Jack my man! HUGE CONGRATS on the 100 days bro! You've been solid through and through since day one, and a great brother to have as a contact. By plodding steadily along, you've reached a huge milestone! Think about writing your HOF speech, when you are ready. There are a shit-ton of potential, unregistered quitters who have access to those speeches ... and read a lot of them. Who knows if your speech will contain that one sentence that'll make a fence-sitter say to themselves, "Damn right ... I can do this! I'm going to register and quit this shit!"

Proud as hell of your accomplishment, your resolve and your determination. You will continue to need these traits ... because you still are an addict. Lean on me anytime brother, I value our back-and-forth text sessions. Stay active in November, and keep posting those +1's, your brothers in November and across KTC need you to stay active posting roll and being quit!

Congrats again bro ... nicely done. See you on roll tomorrow ...

Staying strong at Day 40, but the last couple of days I've felt my emotions on a "roller coaster," I feel like my insomnia is creeping back into my life, and the triggers are kicking in worse than they did 10 days ago.

I know everyone is different, but has anyone else see this happen to them around Day 40?

The roller coaster ... yup, remember that! Every day will bear with it a new trigger, especially in the beginning. Triggers never stop, but we get better at handling them each day. I know you have the intestinal fortitude to kick those craves to the curb Jack! Trust me when I tell you ... it gets better. Nicotine is a POWERFUL chemical, isn't it? The fact that it fucks with the receptors in our brain makes me HATE THE SHIT that much more daily. Power through bud, reach out and hit me up if you need to ... you have my digits. Proud as hell to quit with you EDD! BTW, congrats on 40! Each ten days are to be celebrated in my eyes, enjoy your day!

Yeah, it's different for everyone, I do remember Day 45 was the first awesome day for me, and many dozen have followed since, so stay the course Frog, you are killing this!

Coming up on my 5th week of being quit, I'm starting to realize some things I've taken for granted for a long time.

To name a few, actually being able to enjoy a meal instead of having to rush through it so I could throw a dip in, and being able to have some extra cash in my pocket!

The one thing though that I've really missed is getting a good nights sleep. I'm starting to hit the point where I find myself going to bed earlier and waking up refreshed, something I rarely did when I would put Cat Turds in my mouth.

Saw a quote in my group earlier - "how do you eat an elephant? One bite a time." True words to live by while conquering this!

Good thoughts Jack. If your quit is anything like mine was the next few weeks will suck. You feel like you've accomplished something but the craves just keep coming. It gets frustrating. So keep grinding, posting roll, and being involved. It will definitely help get you through the "blah" days of quit. I quit with you today.

Nice work man! Doesn't it feel good to look at a guy like that and think what an idiot?

Absolutely - kinda made me sick to my stomach because that used to be me, but not anymore. I'm enjoying my good nights sleep and not feeling like crap all day![/quote]

Was out to dinner with my wife last night and as we were leaving the restaurant, this couple in front of us with their two young boys stopped as we got out the front doors. We walked past them, and I turned around to see why they stopped, only to realize the father was reaching into his pocket to put a dip in.

Both of his boys were looking at him when he was doing it, and his wife looked annoyed as ever.

I thought to myself, "I'm glad that will never be me."

One day at a time - don't overreact to small triggers, and keep telling the Nic Bitch she's a whore.

QLF EVERY DAY WITH YOU ALL!

I was at a wedding this weekend in which my best friend got married. I had the honor of being his best man, and I realized something during the celebration weekend.

I was able to get through the entire weekend without having a lip turd in my mouth, and it didn't hit me until late Sunday night, meaning I am making huge strides in my quit. The last couple of weekends it's been on my mind a lot, but it didn't even phase me this weekend.

Just wanted to share that - Keeping the mindset of one day at a time is truly the best thing, and if I can do this, anyone can.

Stay strong Brothers!

Atta boy Jack ... another nice win brother!

JF, good to hear, I too have been living life lately being quit rather than striving to quit - it's an awesome feeling.

PS, who is Carl, and why is he introing on this thread, he sounds like Bobby Cumbubbles to me..............
