Aqualuke kick ass on 365! One full lap!

Walk a little taller today. Proud to have you walking this journey with me brother.
There are no circumstances in which using nicotine will improve the outcome.

My journey. The best part it is not over yet.

I'm glad we've had a chance to quit together on a daily basis. Here's to us quitters!

Here in THIS house, we Kill the Can. If it's not a top priority, go to one of the bitch sites where they "hurt the can" or "call the can names." - Pre

This is so much more that just throwing your name on a list, it is placing your word or promise that you will not use nicotine and it should be done everyday. - MCarmo44

I need this place, because i am an addict. I cannot forget that...if i do i will forget how to quit. - Schaef418

Enjoy your day Aqualuke, and see you at 101 tomorrow.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Congrats on HOF, Aqueous One!!

Had to dig a bit to find your intro, and I'm glad I did -- you were a helluva husband, father and person when you committed to quit, and you've just become 100 times stronger.

Great quit, and congrats again.
Nice job, Aqualung! Congrats!
Keep up the good work.

Great intro, Luke. Start enjoying the suck for a few days, then enjoy your freedom from that evil weed and disgusting addiction. We quit together, every damn day here. First few days will suck, then it wonÂ’t. I get a real good vine from your intro, you can do this.
Quit since 1/23/14

Luke, thanks for the honest introduction. I appreciate your heart for your family. 23 year hard-core nicotine addict here, 25 days clean and honestly still struggling a bit. Those first few days are ugly. Talk to your lady and ask her to have some patience with you- that will help. Just survive those fist 3-4 days. It gets better, but after that you still have to watch it closely. Hang in there, you can get this. I'm quit with you today brother.

Best damn decision you'll make all day, any day.

Brace yourself for the suck, because it's about to settle in for a little while. It does start to get better, but your body and your brain need some time to adjust, heal, and relearn how to operate without a bunch of cat turd essence coursing through your veins. Really make a point to capture and write out your thoughts during the highs and the lows of the coming days and weeks. That will help you to reinforce why you're quit and will make for good reading as you get farther down the road. You'll never want to repeat any of these early days again, so do it right and do it once.

Luke! I am very glad you are here! The only time this has worked for me has been when I quit for myself. I'm quit with you today. PM me if you are interested in texting our daily resolve to quit.

Welcome!! I'm only on day 3 but this is a great place to pop in for a quick pick-me-up if you feel your resolve weakening. I've been having an orange every time I have a really bad craving between meals. Something about sitting around peeling an orange and eating it distracts me enough that the crave goes away. PM me if you want my number, I know exactly what you're going through.

Great intro Luke, proud of your decision ... the best one you'll ever make! Stay strong this weekend, and post roll EARLY every day (unless your work schedule does not allow that). Quitting with you today!

Lots of water the next 3-5 days- flush that crap out. It'll help with the fog as well.
