3rd floor, congratulations man!
Bas ass April Ape support.
Hell yes! Dude 300 is one if the big ones. Winning is easier now, right? Not a constant fight
Proud to quit with you on a milestone day!
Congrats Done4 the 300's are awesome. Congrats and thanks for all you do.
To all the new quitters, 300 is a good place to be. It's not nearly the daily fight to the point where I rarely think about dip. My focus has fully returned. I feel on top of my game. I'm not a bastard to the wife and family. Life is good.
Back when I was in double digits and early HOF stages, GrizClaws gave me some good advice. My complaint was how to keep my job and make the boss happy when I was having a hard time focusing and completing a task. Griz told me to fake it till I make it. I did the best I could and kept moving the ball forward at work thinking I was going to get canned at any time. Fast forward to last week and our annual raise/bonus conversation. Somehow I got the biggest raise and bonus I've seen in years. This is in a year where the final 8 months I was tobacco free but angst ridden.
The point for all you new guys is this: No matter how bad you think it's going, no matter how bad the urges, no matter how bad you think you're doing at work, keep plowing ahead. Worry about staying quit and doing the best you can for only that day. Tomorrow is another day. Eventually you'll hit the stage where there is little to no struggle.
When Worktowin and Dagranger told me early on that it was worth the fight, that it gets SO SO much better, I'm glad I was wise enough to listen and to persevere. For those with fresh quits stay laser focused on the desired result to be quit. You'll be in a much better place very soon.
