Relief at last

[Spence249]

day 30 update

Sitting here at my desk at work, typing away and realized that I never even had a thought of stopping at the convenient store on my way to work this morning. Feels pretty damn good.

So much has changed in 30 days. Physically, my mouth feels better. My gums use to be sore but that pain is gone. Still have to make a trip to the dentist to get fully checked out and cleaned. Damn I can't stand the dentist.

One thing that really pisses me off, is how I used to let the nic bitch control so much of my life. Looking back, it's pretty fucked up. It feels so good not having to think about shit like, do I have enough chew to get me thru the day? I remember making up excuses on why I needed to run to the grocery store at 11:00 at night, just to go get dip.

I used to stay up well after everyone else went to bed, actually anticipating everyone going to bed, just so I could have a peaceful, quiet moment with the nic bitch. That's fucked up considering I could have been laying in bed with my wife! That being said, I've been to bed earlier lately and feel so much better.

I know we need to take this one day at a time, but I'm really looking forward to this summer. I can't wait to go swimming and play golf without having to be a ninja. Maybe without having to spit before every shot, my golf game will improve. Doubtful, but at least it will be one less distraction running thru my brain. The only thing that can fix my hook is a fishing pole!

I haven't been the most active person on this website in terms of posting, but I have read everything that I can find. This site is in some ways, a social media site for quitters. I get this site, i just don't understand other social media sites like Facebook. Actually, i just don't understand the fascination with other people's business. Who gives a fuck that you went to the mall or whatever. What I'm getting at is, I appreciate this site tremendously because we all share mostly meaningful stuff about each other. Sometimes you need to hear some crazy shit like one of Slug.go's tree-top-flying stories, but mostly we talk about quitting and how it affects our lives. I thank all of you for that. It really helps to know that so many people are going thru or have gone thru the same shit.

Quit on ya bunch of quitters.

Day 17 and still QLF.

Couldn't sleep last night so I read a bunch of older introductions.  One thing that caught my attention was how some people used their intro as a journal or their quit.  I really liked reading about the progress people saw in themselves during the quit and the fact that they could look back and see what they were thinking at any point.  So her it goes.

It's amazing, how much we are creatures of habit.  We do shit enough, over and over again, it becomes a part of a routine.  Just like I used to wake up, kiss my daughters, make them breakfast and put in a chew.  Then on my way to work, I would check my supply and head to the convenient store before heading to work.

This morning, I woke up, kissed my girls, made them breakfast and put in a Smokey Mountain.  Left for work, and for some reason, before I knew it, I was at the convenient store.  I sat there in the parking lot dumbfounded.  Why was I here and what the fuck am I doing?  Never even got out of my car, but thought it was weird how my mind told me to drive there.

I feel great, physically, but sometimes, i just kinda.......space out.

Speaking of spacing out, I need to get back to work.  More updates to follow, if I can remember.........

You are doing great!!! Enjoy the good days, be prepared for the bad . The nic bitch is very very sneaky. Post roll every day, keep your promise, and repeat. Never again for any reason one day at a time.

Congrats on 17 days quit! That is awesome my friend.

The power of keeping a quit diary in your intro can't be minimized. I read thru mine as I hit significant milestones to remember how far I have come. The key is you can never forget day 1 and why you came here.

Doing stuff like you did... rolling into a C-store and spacing out is part of this process. Your brain is re-wiring and it will take time. You will not be fixed in 17 days. You still sound a bit foggy. Nice job leaving the parking lot and just moving on. That is a huge victory.

Keep at it today. You are a free man! Quit with you all day long.

Nice realized corrected and moved on. Derk is right post to your thread especially in the beginning and never forget day 1. Keep doing what you are doing adding +1's and soon you will be taking on new challenges of being quit.
Nice work bro keep it up

Nice. 17 days is still definitely a big fighting period. Keep it up. You are a quitter!
