Half way to HOF today, right! Soak it in, think of all the fog and stumbling around you've been through. Never again! All you gotta do is start win this day. Been a pleasure knowing your hitting some of the same walls when I do because you can relate, and knowing you are in my corner. One more day today I quit with you.
50 days!!

Brettlees, you are the man, you have gone and are going through some serious shit and you haven't waivered. I'll quit with you any time pal. Thank you for your support, wouldn't want to do it without you.

Update: Day 46

PD, I look at your timeline on a consistent basis for a guide as my quit progresses. It has been tremendously helpful, thank you.

I get on here and read some of the intros from the Noob's and realize how miserable that first 30 days is.....holy shit that was rough. Minute to minute, hour to hour rough and I'm thankful for it.

I still have bad days, fog, the fuck its, mild depression and I still can't sleep for shit. I've gained a little weight and my anxiety spikes but I feel 1,000 times better than when I was chewing a can and a half a day. Worrying about my next dip, a spot, a sore, a feeling, my teeth, gums....cancer.

All of these things are symptoms of a habit and lifestyle that I eliminated from my life when I joined this site. Damn proud and glad I did.

BIG JAYHAWK RUSS!! You just keep your head down, keep quitting and trust us on this. You are about to break through this bitch!!!!

The funny thing is, it is not going to be a loud, noticeable or dramatic breakthrough. You are on the verge of it - things are going to start getting better.

But it will slowly happen. One day you are going to realize, shit I haven't been irritable, I haven't had any craves, I feel........ normal?

Yep, the roller coaster is different for all of us, but as far as I can tell, those of us who hung on and kept on going just sort of realized one day that all that shit was gone. Or at least substantially reduced.

I got faith in you man. You will breakthrough. Just keep quitting - it really is that easy. Keep on going brother - you have us all backing you and cheering you on. Quit every day, one day at a time. Don't worry about when you break out of this funk, but just remember when you realize you have busted out of it - your bros here at KTC told you so!!!

Proud to quit with you today.

Brettles brought that to my attention a few days ago about roll, I saw my name on there and then it was gone. I have had problems with my laptop from work being infected with malware, I'm double checking from now on. Thanks for the timeline as it reminds me that I'm not slowly going insane or that I need to enroll in anger management courses.

Day 30

Feeling depressed, pissed off and pretty frustrated the last two days. Tired of feeling like shit, tired of not sleeping, tired of thinking about chew, tired of seeds and candy, just fucking irritated. Feels like Im on a roller coaster of emotions right now.
Let's take a look at my timeline again and check your progress.

Yep, you are right on target and you are not that far from really kicking this thing.

Day 31-38: Freaking fog was back, some nasty craves and my temper way out of control. WTF!

Day 39-60: The roller coaster days. Mod craves followed by no craves, bad temper and mild depression. A difficult time but I was not giving up at this point.
Oh little worm-dirt...you are so scary...F' OFF...!!!

4 weeks in and I felt the same way. I'm here to tell you it will get better. Keep your head up.
What you are experiencing is natural. There will be days sometimes even consecutive days that just flat suck ass.

It may sound like total BS but it really does get better. Celebrate the fact that you are one month in and find a positive to focus on like your breath doesn't smell like a litter box.

I quit with you today bro,

These are the days that separate the men from the boys... the women from the girls. Quittin is not ez and you flat out got to want it more than anything. Remember why you are here... do you want to go back to being a slave to nicotine? These are the days you can do just one thing... buckle down  power thru. Use your tools and just stay quit.

Every person on this site has been there. Every one of us. We know it sucks. We know it is hard. We also know that you can get thru this. We also know that life gets better.

You will not be fixed overnight here. Years of abuse to your body requires time for healing. I can tell you that for me I am a totally different person compared to when I was 30 days quit and now at 150 days quit. Brother, hold the line. Stay quit. That light at the end of the tunnel is not a train... it is freedom! QLF today!!

Day 28

I'm finding I'm not concentrating all day on dipping like I was last week.  Boredom is the strongest trigger for craves so I've been staying busy.  I'm not staring at my mouth in the mirror trying to detect where my newest cancer spot is since quitting.

I still can't sleep for shit, interrupted choppy sleep is still very present.  With each day it's getting a little bit better and I gain more confidence in myself.  It's a really good feeling.
You are winning bro. Each day is another W. Scoreboard nic bitch.
x2 Just win today. You don't think about doing this for life or even tomorrow. Today is the day you quit. Win today. The past is over, live today for a better tomorrow, but never sweat or think about being quit tomorrow. Only quit when its "Today" for you.
Way to go Jayhawk Russ! Listen to these dudes and keep on going. We are right here with you.

Proud to quit with you today.
