100 Days! Holy Shit! I thought I'd jump back over here and re-read my posts. I almost forgot about the day 1 shit. I've got 100 days in the mirror, and I'm looking ahead to the next 100.

The best part about today? My wife went on for about 5 minutes about how big my pecker is! Damn...I didn't know that quitting nic makes your dick bigger! I can handle that.

Of course, my dick is so big it has it's own zip code....

Thanks Greg5280. You were the first to check in on me, and you kept checking in. It kept me going through this whole thing.

If you're new...you can do it! If you jump in to this site tits deep, you can do it!

More to follow in my HOF speech....

My dick is so big it's already fucking someone tomorrow....

[Greg5280]

OK that is some funny shit. I hope your dick does not stir the drinks too...

About the green thingies. For every 100 posts you get a dot. So get to posting if you want lotsa green thingies.

So today's going pretty well. Not having a bad day at all. Last night was not good. Got in a huge fight with the wife, but we're cool this morning.

While I am fully confident in my own masculinity, I am starting to wonder when I'm not a newbie anymore? When do I start to get my little green thingies under my name?

And oh, by the way, my dick is so big, it's in the other room fixing us drinks...

Early in my quit it seemed like I went up and down like a yo-yo.  Had good days, then bad, anxiety off the hook, semi-depressed.  But after every single bad day I had a very good day.  If it makes you feel any better I am at 180 and have had a very good run of days recently.  My mood has been great, been feeling good !!

Keep fighting, it does get better.  I know you may not believe that right now.  I struggled with hearing the vets say it all the time when I was struggling what seemed like every other day.  But it really does get better. 

Stay quit, fight through the bad shit.  You got this.

Thanks for gettin my back Greg...I'm good today...I'm starting to see patterns to my funks, or at least I think I am. Trying to find some consistency is going to help me fight them off. I'm still quit.

Greg is correct. The good days will start to outnumber the bad. There are better days ahead.

Ok, so I'm at 44 days. Had a couple of rough days this week. My fog came back BIG TIME! I've been snapping at my kids more than I should, but all in all, I'm still quit.

Today I wanted to talk a little about the fiscal side of this quit. I see some guys posting about a can of 'Hagen costing like $2.89. WTF? I WISH! I live in the lovely state of Maine where they decided to tax the shit out of tobacco. A can of 'Hagen costs $6.83 up here. You read that right - I was a can and a halfer for almost 30 years. I bring this up just to illustrate my INSANITY! Not only was I poisoning myself, I was going broke too!

Well, today I'm quit. Tomorrow....well, I don't have $6.83...

I'm thinking about all the things I've done in the past 39 days without a dip in. I had a job interview - no dip. I had a weekend trip out of state, 12 hour drive round trip - NO dip. I kissed my wife every morning - NO DIP. Today, I go for a medical exam for a potential job. I have to fill out a medical questionnaire. One of the questions is, "Do you use tobacco?" For the first time in 29 fucking years I can HONESTLY answer that one - NO! Not just NO, but FUCK NO!

If there is anyone reading this that is newbie like me, or thinking of quitting...we can do this. Fuck this bitch! I am a slave no more!

Good shit right there !! It is amazing all of the things you can actually do without dip....

38 fucking days...and last night I was in the middle of a fog like I had when I was Day 1. My vision went blurry...I couldn't concentrate...I was snapping at people left and right...I was just being a real douche...

I got done work last night and had to run out in town for a minute...coulda gone to the gas station...packed a fatty...

The difference? I didn't do it. Just kept driving...did my errand...came home to the family.

Woke up this morning and the craving's were gone, the fog has lifted, and I'm one more day quit than I was yesterday.

Tomorrow I'll be quit one more than today...

Well done! Stick to your plan stay quit and think it through.

Excellent... I sent you another message. Now head over to July and get to posting.

Thanks for the welcome Greg. My name is simply what I used to tell people when they would ask me, "When are you going to quit putting that shit in your mouth?"

Now, I look at it as I'm a committed quitter...I won't quit being a quitter. Fuck that shit.

To answer your question, the day after the cave was March 16, 2010...day one of my quit.
