Is it bad that I can't remember exactly how many days I have been quit? Not sure - without counting them up - if it is 27, 28, or 29.

Quote from: JayhawkMany, many of you brothers on this site have encouraged me to go see my doctor. I took that step yesterday and was scared as hell. But, I got a good, clean bill of health and it may have been the best doctor's visit I have ever been through.

I explained I was 24 days into my quit - cold turkey. I also explained that the "fog" was brutal and I couldn't focus. The anxiety! Oh, shit. That part was just killing me.

Just seeing the doctor - telling him the brutal truth was tough, but has been the best thing I have done since my quit.

Thanks to all the brothers who encouraged me to go see the doc. It helped greatly.
Hey Jayhawk, nice work man.
I posted this in the August thread, but I want to put it here too just to make sure you see it.

Just a word of warning: about 20 years ago I "stopped" chewing due to some health issues I was having. I went to the doc, got a clean bill of health - what a relief - and then allowed the addiction to convince me that I could keep chewing because, well, "no harm done yet! Maybe I'm one of those people who doesn't get cancer, and I can chew as much as I want!" Soon I was full-on chewing again. 20 years later, here I am on day 153.
What an idiot I was. Dont let that happen to you, bro. Stay quit with your good health.

Knowing you are cleared by the Dr is better than the anticipation that something is wrong...Now brother you can focus on your quit. Glad you are ok, quit with you today

Not much to add other than hell yea man posting roll is bad ass now keep your word. I quit with you man.
I would rather lose to a cheater than win as a cheater.

Nice job posing roll this morning. I know it is a pain at first. Hey, if this were easy Phillip Morris wouldn't have so many Gulfstream jets! But posting roll, and the quit, does get easier. Hope the fog is beginning to break a bit. Ill speak for many on this site - we're glad you joined us. Reach out if you need anything at all, and keep on quitting!

The fog will lift. And when it does, you won't believe how clear the sky will be. Keep it up man - you're doing great.

Hey, I will follow two guys from Lee's Summit anytime. Looks like we have a lot in common. Looking forward to keeping in touch and pulling through this together. For KC Guy - I figure you and I are on the same schedule and Worktowin has paved the way.

You guys might have to coach me on how to post to the roll call tomorrow am, I don't think I did it right today.

Anyway - thanks. It is cool to see some guys who breathed the same air as I did - in more ways than one.
