I am one day away from 900. Yay - not.

One thing I have learned to hate are the milestones.

For some reason, the days before and after a milestone are hard.

I feel the nagging at my gums. The question in my mind - do you remember.

Luckily for me, I am so practiced at turning my attention away from those thoughts that it bothers me little.

But it does bother me.

Remember to always keep your guard up.

I quit again today. Day 899.
Welcome to the 9th floor!
900 days free of nic. Such a great job
Congrats Bud! You got this!
If you don't like milestones.....
Just enjoy today.
Congrats on today sir.
I quit with you.
Rawls 1201.
I believe.....

Just one and you will be back where you started.
And where you started was desperately wishing
you were where you are right now.

Here is a note to myself that the 120s and the 140s were terrible. I am at 313 and I still get days when my gums seem to be craving the dip. It happens under stress and when I am hungry.

Successful quitting means paying attention to common sense things like getting plenty of exercise, eating regular meals, getting plenty of sleep, etc.

My craves mainly happen when I have skipped a meal. So the main trick is to take care of yourself and make sure you eat.
That's a solid plan DD. KNowing the triggers is key but so is healthy living. Proud to have you in the Disciples!
Quit on badass! You're doing it right! Damn proud to quit with you!

Quote from: Rawls
Quote from: Thumblewort
I remember when I started quitting that I had zero support from people in real life including my wife. Why? Because I lied to all of them for 17 years about quitting. The only way quitting works is if you are doing it for yourself. That's why support here is so valuable, because the only folks that know what you are going through are your fellow addicts.
What he said.....^^^^^^^^

Age and other people don't have any thing to do with it.
You can do this... Dont think about tomorrow. Let tomorrow worry about itself.
You just stay focused on your promise you made today.

Remember......Your finished!
Let that old you die.

Im finished with the new you today.

I too am an old IT guy. 50 year old Network engineer who now works as a teachers aid at a school because he really didn't like the corporate IT world. Wish I could change my username to "LoveMyLifeNow". Keep on quitting. POST ROLL DAILY!!!!!
