thick, thick fog this morning. i'm talking to people and trying to figure out what the hell i'm talking about at the same time. really weird, out of body experience right now.

anything help make the fog lift other than time?
chog - this one made me laugh - cuz I felt the same way - just could not explain it as well as you - it was like I was living in 3rd person. I am proud of you and your quit - You inspire us daily - Keep up the good work

some pretty cool shit, this quitting.

i almost gave my wife a heart attack when i asked her to walk the dogs with me. that was grade-A, 100% prime tobaccey time 4 days ago (either me walking them solo, or my wife walking them with me at home). i've been more active, and more actively involved in the family. it's amazing how many lies i would tell myself and my family to get dip in my face.

it hasn't been peaches and cream, though, of course. i felt like sam kinison doing the dishes yesterday morning (day 3)... Sam Kinison. it's funny cuz it's true.

feeling okay today. a couple cravings, nothing major or faith-shattering. seeds and gum, seeds and gum.
Life will be improving day after day...as long as you quit one day at a time. Quit today...celebrate today.

just in case folks are wondering, i posted roll but at the same time as pers, so mine isn't in the copy and paste. i'm on day 2, and i'm not using today.

also, if anyone wants to exchange contact info, let me know. whether you need me or think that i'll need you (and i'm sure i will), i don't care.

Alright, bro, I put you back on your August roll. Folks need to see that early posting. Damn fine job with that! If somebody bumps you, just put your shit right back on there when you figure it out. It can be a tedious dance, but you'll eventually get used to it.

thanks for the welcome, folks.  it's been a busy morning, which is perfect.  haven't had time to think about it until just now. 

quick question... folks say to get to know your quit group, but it seems like the one thread in there is just roll calls.  is there another place i'm missing?
That's actually a pretty good question. The roll call thread doesn't seem all that conducive to chit chat.

I've been to the actual chat room numerous times. It's a great place to meet site veterans and think about not dipping. Especially during the foggy suck of days 2-4. I couldn't work for shit so I went in there and just stared at the chat which was entertaining and got me through it.
In your quit group, feel free to ask questions, rage/vent , post links or do whatever else you want to share with your quit group. Your quit group is only as boring as you make it.
The June 2011 quit group spends a large amount of time singing my praises. Each group takes on a life of its own.
LOL

Smokey is an awesome quitter and we would change our name to Smokey's Bitches but then every group thereafter would have to be renamed to Smokey's Biches #2, #3..etc.

Talk about whatever you want in your group guys. Get to know your fellow quitters. You will need each other to stay quit.

today's been good so far. the bitch, i think, is waiting for sundown. i've been eating a fair amount of candy. need to hit the store and grab some seeds.

i've given my wife my CC, ATM, cash. we've emptied the change in both cars, and the house change jar is right next to her side of the bed. no sneaking out to grab a quick can.

i can't believe what a pussy i was.

Welcome to the funhouse. The guys have been outstanding to keep me going (messages and in the thread). 1 day at a time - I'll do it with you --- and together, along with the others - we can post roll the next day.

It's gonna be a bitch getting through the first week --- as I'm still in it and really am having a few issues now and then. When I do - I jump on and search the threads to see what's going on. Don't cave - it's not what you want!

1 day.... 1 day!
