day 94

100 days right around the corner.

I was scrolling through my group last night and I saw a post for Klinger1986 in our HOF section for 100 days. I found that odd since I have not seen this person post roll at all since april 1. In fact on our spreadsheet we have stopped marking this person as having not posted roll. So I wonder what gives this person the right to post 100 days with our group when they abandoned us. I know this really does not matter in the grand scheme of the universe and I maybe redirecting some frustration but I do not feel this is right. The HOF section is for those who have posted roll consistently and been a part of the group and the site. You do not get to come in and say - I made 100 days - No. I am offended. I would like to know what others have to say...

Day 87

Nothing to report

Cravings are especially strong in the morning with my coffee. That was the thing. Throw in a fatty and have my coffee.

But not anymore.

day 86

things are going. drama continues. difference- no dip. i still crave the dip. the difference now is that they go away alot quicker and I have tools in place to deal with the cravings.

You know I have read (and written) a lot of things on this website and I have reached ( once again came to) a 2 conclusions over the past few days:

1. This site is a fantastic form of support and I commend those who created and moderate the site. The base philosphy for how to quit is very solid and it works and I really mean that. So thank you.

2. This site is only as good as you the quiter wants it to be. i have read a tonne of introductions lately and I believe that a lot of new users are looking for a magic elixar to make it all go away. I have news for you people, the world of instant everything does not exist. There is no fucking pill you can take to make you quit. No patch, prayer, gum, shot, nothing like that. It takes work and determination and will power. If you are one of those who think this site is a quick fix, leave now and stop wasting everyones valuable time.

So to you the new quiter who may stumble upon these rants of a fucking idiot addict let me sum up what I consider to be the essence of this site and the billions of words transcribed on it:

1. Post roll - give your word not to use nictone today and today ONLY. Fuck 100 days, HOF, and all the rest of that crap. QUIT FOR TODAY. Do whatever you need to do to QUIT FOR TODAY.
2. REPEAT TOMORROW.

day 71

it has been awhile. things have been busy. it is 6:42 Sunday May 27 and I am downstairs trying not to wake the house up. I just Mthomas last post on his blog and I must say I know exactly what he and the rest are going through. All I can say to my brothers is hang in, stay strong and keep up the good fight.

Right now I am in a funk. 10 weeks in, 10 weeks clean from nicotine. Things are good in that way but boy do I miss dip every so often. Just the other day a craving hit me. It was so intense I could taste it. Then it was gone. That is what I am finding now..the cravings are very intense but very short in duration.

Had a bit of rage yesterday. Stress just built up over the week. Outlets no working right this minute. I need to decompress. Vacation might be the ticket.

Actually we are going through exactly the same thing.

PS I am nowhere close to caving. Not really tempted in anyway. What I am really craving is black forest chocolate cake with double fudget chocolate ice cream and a diet pepsi.

maybe i am pregnant
lol no doubt. About day 20 I went to the market and bought a strawberry cake with whipped cream. (a full sized cake). I also bought a 2 litre of Coke (I haven't drank Coke in years)

Entire cake gone in 24 hours along with the coke.

Pregnancy test negative.

Day 51
One would think a person would be thrilled but not really. I would have to say I am getting into one of those funks. Just feeling kind of blue.
I like reading your posts because I am a week behind you. So far you have been spot on describing what is in store for me.

One would think a person would be thrilled but not really.  I would have to say I am getting into one of those funks.  Just feeling kind of blue.  Not getting a whole lot of support right now on the home front.  That might be part of it.  BDay coming up, that maybe part of it.  Think I might give my therapist a call. 

Day 50
Driving home from a volunteer thing ( 3 hour drive)  I had huge cravings.  First time in a while.  Put away a whole bag of seeds.  Nothing to this thing.
RaiderX,

Reach out man. PM me and I will help any way I can, Send me your number and we can trade texts.
You are not alone, and you can fucking do this.

I'm proud of you man.
In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021
