So, good thing two days ago was all super great and "look at me I got this shit." Today sucks; I have a partial fog going on and I am irritable as a motherfucker. I had a dip dream last night; I think it was my first not sure though.

yup- the fog is back- no nicotine today
Grind. The path of quit is not a straight line. Their are more ups and downs than a porn movie.

Eventually though the line gets smoother and smoother with less bumps. Like my tightly groomed nether regions.

Things seem to be going pretty well, too well in fact. I am at a point where I am worrying about this quit being too easy. I know the first week sucked but I made it out. It seems like this weekend the only craves I had were after running- they were pretty intense but I refuse to let my addict brain dwell on it for more that a few seconds.
Keep it close Doug, she, knows exactly what she is doing. I quit with you today.
One day at a time, man.

If today is easy...enjoy it. Know that there might be storms brewing, but enjoy it. That's why we quit, and that's why I still post here after nearly 2 years. Physically and mentally, I am quit. But, if I stop pursuing my quit, my tools may rust when I need them one day.

When times are good, we practice for the bad (posting roll, and taking what we need from the site here).

When times are bad, we lean on what we've practiced.

Quitting isn't easy, but it's not torture. There's a reason we do it: It gets better.

Proud of you man.
I have a few "quit heros" on this site. You're one of them WP.

My quit is pretty "easy" too Dougie. I just happen to know from experience how dangerous that is. So I come here everyday to guard it. And whenever temptation shows up, it doesn't stand a chance against what I've built against it.
Listen to WP there Dougie,

we all have mentioned that this ride of quit you are on will have its ups and downs, just like the law of gravity or heck in anything if you are a yin and yang, that you cannot have the one without the other.

So if you are feeling good enjoy it, as you are earning it each and every day. It is while we feel good that we still need to learn, and ingrain those lessons so that when the time comes where we need them , we will know what to do.

So enjoy as it is here, and be aware that like the weather, it may change without notice.

we will be right there beside you when it does.
I was right where you are 10 days ago. 1st week hellish, second week a breeze, and I was waiting for the worm to turn. Third week brought a couple of rough days, but totaly managable, and way easier than day 1. It helped me to realize that if I was not a nicotine addict, then I would still have rough days in my future. The nic bitch could suck wind from my kiester 'cause I wasn't wasteing time worrying about. You have the tools to handle it just keep doing what is working...

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

The thing I feared most happened yesterday- the long forgotten stash-- I was digging out some fishing line for my son when I happened across an old half can- armed with my new tools I acted quickly by taking it in the house and washing it down the sink- I made sure to completely wash the can as well; to prevent me from licking it clean! I feel really good today. Today is a great day to be quit-
Awesome man! A forgotten stash derailed my best attempt at quitting many years ago. Way to recognize the danger and donkey punch nic back down! I got quit wood reading about it!

That was a good win dougie. I think I would have been more creative though. Just dumping it and washing the can is something you do on the first day. I might have went through more of a ritual. Something with car, stomping, pissing, burning and ocean. AAAhhhhh, maybe it doesn't deserve that much thought. You done good brother! I quit with you today.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

So today the fog has lifted a bit; I know it will be back but I am enjoying being able to read again and being able to do some of my job!

I feel like today I have spent more time thinking about the poison. I have some serious oral fixation issues; I had a dip in my mouth from bed-up to bed-down so it isn't too surprising that I constantly need something in my mouth. I wonder what my coworkers think?? That dude is constantly eating sunflower seeds or shoveling atomic fireballs in his mouth!
I wasn't a spitter before and my ninja skills were quite remarkable- plus I would keep the same dip for 3+ hours so the odor would be gone or masked by coffee.

Anyway- none of that shit matters. I am so fucking happy to be 19 days nicotine free.

Thanks man! This site has been a godsend; not really a religious fellow but I cant think of a better description.
Nice Dougie,
I hear ya I am not a thumper by any means but finding this site was a devine intervention of some sort...Proud of you man glad the fog is lifting at OHARE...lol anyway now that you feel your fog is lifting read back over your early posts and see if you can see the clarity you have now versus then.
