This is the worst! Day 3 and I feel like my mind is on drugs. I can't read I cant type very well, nothing. I don't want a chew, I really don't which is surprising as hell.
Mr. C - Welcome to your quit. Your level of success depends on how committed to this you are. Day 3 is good, you're almost out of the suck. Keep grinding. Your next step is the fog where you will continue to not be able to type full sentences or thoughts. How I stayed employed I'll never understand. Fake it till you make it.
We post roll here daily, it's the foundation of this place. You will post in th month where you hit 100 days which is Aug 2015.
You're already quit so post your day 3 with pride now. We'll see you there.
Done is right...fake it 'till you make it. But let's think about this whole "Day 3 sucks" thing...
Day 3 is the worst day? Really? Day 3 might suck donkey balls. But does it suck as much as the day the dentist says, "let's have someone look at that spot?" Could it suck as much as the first day of chemo? Or how about the day they remove your teeth, tongue and jaw and install a feeding tube? I bet it doesn't suck as much as the day you have to say good bye to those who love you the most before you pass away. In fact, I'm fairly certain those days suck so bad that Day 3 is WONDERFUL by comparison.
You are probably dealing with Day 3 headaches, anxiety, constipation, sleeplessness, raging like an asshole around your house and general irritability (so you're probably not laughing at my sarcasm). Everything is relative. Day 3 might suck...I'll give you that. But it also might be fucking spectacular when you think about it, huh?
Read the Tom and Jenny Kern story...and their Caring Bridge entry. Read the part where Jenny describes Tom's daughter at his feet pleading, "Daddy, don't go" as he takes his last breath. I'll bet Tom would have given just about anything to get to have just one more cancer-free day. I bet Tom would love Day 3, huh?
Quitting is all about your attitude. Decide that you will enjoy every minute of it. Embrace the suck. Take note of your success. I mean really experience how weirdly awesome it is to live nic-free. Quitting is a privilege reserved to those who have the guts to do it. When YOU decide to quit, you GET to feel shitty. That shitty feeling is fucking awesome...a reminder that you are kicking nic's ass one day at a time. You are in control. And you should be pumped about that. I am. I'm pumped that you are here and you are making it happen ONE DAY AT A TIME.
YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
