Quitter or Life Long Dipper?

[zquitter]

Day 7 - still quit. Still feel strong. It helps that I have so many people who want to help me.

Was supposed to have day off but went to work this morning. When leaving at lunch I reached under the car seat for the can. Strange how my brain is so programmed to reach for the can. (There was nothing there.)

Thinking about how I want be done with day 8 and 9 right now. But I can only quit day 7 today.

Had a clean report at dentist yesterday. I sometimes wonder if my body could tolerate 7300 days of Kodiak and I dipped 7301. That would suck.

Thanks for reading, brothers. Some replies feel harsh, but I appreciate all input. Still learning.

BTW... C Mark told me to come to this site. He saw me spitting at the polls after last election. I hope to have lunch with him one day as a quitter.

Made it through day 6.  On the Chat room earlier I said I felt cocky today because I had 0 craving.  I did think "why am I on the site if it's this easy?".  But not really.  I've quit too many times to know some days are easier than others.  Glad I had a diamond today but there will be stones.

My mouth is feeling swollen tonight.  I think I read about that. But, had a good check up at dentist today.

Bring on day 7.  Did not use yesterday, did not use today, will not use tomorrow.  (in case the board is down)

Need to get some miles in tomorrow. Off to bed.

Feeling cocky, tomorrow, quit to many times. These statements worry me, just a little. Trouble maneuvering the site and getting pissed at people is not a problem. You'll get past all that with time. After a few bad days hopefully you'll get a little humility.

I did think "why am I on the site if it's this easy?".

I realize I'm taking that out of context but I want to point out what addict talk is like.

But not really.  I've quit too many times to know some days are easier than others.

I beg to differ, you've never quit or you wouldn't be here. (Just semantics) but all those failures were just that).
Z, I only give you a bad time to strengthen your resolve. I've witnessed far to many failed attempts over the past and want to see you succeed. Quitting isn't a game of chance or luck, it takes a steeled determination. The first time you miss roll and give an excuse (any excuse) is the beginning of another failed attempt.

First time he misses roll I'm all over him like a fly on shit. Then we send CMark to find him. They both like the CA sun.

Sometime you people scare me...... lol 'zombie' 'zombie' 'zombie'
Zquitter, I quit with you today, and I have never figured out why they curse so fucking much I never cursed my whole fucking life until I quit. Im getting better at not cussing again..FU by the way and stay true to the brotherhood of quit..

That's some good shit man, the worst of it should be about over by now. You'll still be in the fog, but you should notice life returning to a little bit more normalcy within the next week. As long as you stick to this site and prescribe to the method, you can accomplish some amazing milestones.

Greetings,

After quitting for 8 hours many times over the last 20+ years, I'm finally 6 days into a quit.  I can't believe how much impact 1/2 can of Koidak per day had on my life.  I used the to think the stories of running 3 miles to buy a can was funny but it's embarrassing now. Done with that.

I will say the first 3-4 days sucked bad. Couldn't focus at work.  I woke up at night in a panic about weird stuff.  Everything bugged me.  Not sure it's gone but today is better than yesterday so that's fine.

I appreciate all the support this community offers.  I would ask for more patience as newbies learn the norms.  I feel like I've been beat up for "bumping" or whatever.  This 90's bulletin board technology isn't intuitive and easy web sites don't require a training video.  And why do you fuckers cuss so much? 

Okay, need to stay busy.

Thanks all!
Z

Welcome Z! congrats on 6 days, that is awesome! you are taking your life back, I love it.

Nobody should be giving you a hard time about bumping - you are a newbie to the board, and still in the 'fog' of your quit. Its hard to focus on anything at all, let alone bumping. Once you're a veteran of a (few weeks/month or so, then you need to fix your bumps. First week? just tell them to STFU. The 'more-veteran" guys should be helping you out with bumps in this early stage.

Anyway. If you need any help with anything or have any questions, just ask. I'm happy to help, if I can. Quit with you today!

Rick

Like he said, don't worry about the bumping. Its part of the game. The most important thing is that you Posted Roll for your first time. Glad to have chatted with ya last night in chat and glad you got your login figured out. Remember we only quit for today. Tomorrow will be a different today (especially since the site is changing).

Thanks, Raider. I do appreciate your help. I was pretty close to quitting this web site last night. I would have had you not e-mailed. Keep on quitting!

funny how that works in life...you get exactly what you need when you need it...quit on

Welcome zquitter to 'taking your life back'.....you gotta really want it, ODAAT.
You can make this your final quit....ODAAT and NAFAR.
KTC works.
Stick around, get quit, stay quit with a bunch of hard ass serious addicts who can/will save your life, if you'll let them.
You're in the right place brother, Cheers.

Welcome to the team!  Proud to be quitting with you.  If you need anything at all - shoot me a pm and I'll send you my number.  Speaking of which - make sure you gather up a bunch of numbers and give yours out too.  It's a key part of this deal.  Accountability and brotherhood.

I know it can be difficult to exchange numbers with complete strangers, but some of the best support that I have is from the guys who I have never met, and just know as Winter Green, PBrain, Zilla cowboy, and Slug.go. Granted I know their names now, but at first I had no idea who they were, all I knew is that they were there to help me through a difficult time in my life.

Exchange numbers, get to know the guys in your group and the guys/gals who are supporting you from the bottom of your roll.

Good luck, and congrats on the choice to get rid of that shit!

People that worry too much about bumping can take a hike. Post roll every day, honor your word, and spend a few moments to appreciate ExNuke's avatar.

Dayamn.

Congrats Z! You should be proud of 6 days. You've made it thru some of the hardest part of your quit. It's still not easy, but it will slowly get better. Quit with you one day at a time.

Hey, man. Welcome.

It does get better one day at a time. Getting thru the nic withdrawl is the toughest. After that it's a different kind of challenge. I'm no expert, I'm only a few weeks more quit, but I can tell you it gets better.

Figure out how to stay clean for 24 hours at a time and you'll do alright.

Welcome to your new life, man.
Quittin' with you today bro.
