The only part I caught was the shitting lol. Dude I have IBS, and I've shit like 2-3 times since I quit. I have no idea whats going on o.o
When people withdraw from drugs the symptoms associated with withdrawal are usually exactly opposite the "symptoms" associated with the use of the drug you are withdrawing from. It happens because when you use a drug chronically, the body boosts chemicals meant to oppose the drug and keep your physiology in balance. When you take away the drug, your body is overcompensated with opposing chemicals and you tip into the withdrawal syndrome. It's like pulling a leg out from under a three-legged stool--it tips over. Nicotine is a CNS stimulant and as such does have a laxative effect on the bowel, so it makes sense that you are going to be "overcompensated" (also read as constipated) when you quit putting the nicotine into your body. Your bodies will re-equilibrate.

YOU GET TO DECIDE WHETHER A "TRIGGER" BECOMES AN EXCUSE TO CAVE OR AN OPPORTUNITY TO STRENGTHEN YOUR QUIT, AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT EXCUSES...

Today sucks!  Mostly because my attitude sucks and when my attitude sucks then I'm in a shitty mood.  I shouldn't be, but I am.

On the plus side I'm 18 days removed from nicotine; I'm the best Daddy in the whole wide world (according to my sons); my girlfriend is the best person I know  loves sex as much as I do; and my mouth feels healthy.

On the shit side of things I'm just pissed off.  I have a case of AssHoleitis that has lasted a couple days now and I want to punch someone in the mouth.  As hard as I can...

I need some wood to chop or a box of nails and a hammer.
I have a heavy bag and that thing has saved more than one persons life over the past 6 months. Highly suggest that.

Fences can be mended but your "word" cannot...once its broken its gone. I guess I'm saying getting through this phase might take a bit of being a selfish asshole to save your life. Can't always fight it off.
thanks Soul. I seem to not have any trouble being a selfish ass. As far as this quit that I'm busting my ass for, I will hold on to it.

Fortune favors the bold...

Be bold. Be a cocky ass and you have no choice but to keep your quit.

Fuck the pansy-ass post a couple lemonade-stand posts and skate out for the week. I'm all in. I purposely want to make it so that I can't cave.

I may not own this yet but I will own her.

I will spank her. I will make the her mine...

Now I'm going for a run. Let's see if she can keep up
Kick ass bro.

Rule #12: When quitting stops being fun, break something. Feel free to break all the shit you can in this house. Just stay quit.
working out helps too. Dip rage got me off my ass and back to doing some physical activity. I fly a desk for a living.

Also, I have been going to the shooting range at least once a week since I quit. It's right down the street from my house so it's convenient for me.

I still rage sometimes. It's part of my life now....
I chop big friggin logs and throw axes at shit.
NOLAQ - it might be time for another boxing class over in McDonough Hall. Damn I'd love to do that right about now

I'm sad my family never judged one another's feces. That may just be the bond needed to keep kids off of drugs. Family dinners my ass.
It wasn't quite at the same psycho level that was written about in "Running with Scissors" but it was pretty damn amusing to me and my brothers. Mom wasn't too impressed, to say the least.
Now that's good, quality time together right there.

Thoughts and other brainfarts
« on: June 21, 2011, 11:20:00 PM »
I managed to be a bit of an asshole today and that's usually not the way I'd typically characterize my attitude. Something is definitely different lately. I'm thinking I should wear a sign around my neck, "Don't fuck with me. I'm an asshole today."

I must admit there is something liberating about being an asshole. Problem is you'd have to be a REAL asshole to be an asshole ALL the time.

Why am I in the intro section? Well it seems to me I can come over here and write some of the stupid shit that goes through my head on a regular basis and no one really has to read it. Plus, I think there is some real funny shit going on over here and lately I've decided I should hang out on this side of the pool. There seems to be less urine in the water.

Speaking of assholes and bodily fluids, has anyone else noticed a major change in their "banking" schedule? I know nic is a laxative so some of this is to be expected but this is getting ridiculous. I used to be so regular you could set your watch by my bowel movements. Every day, regular deposits.

Now I don't know when or if I'll have one on any given day. And when I do have one it's usually a "declarable". Growing up, if you had an epic dump you "declared" it to the family and everyone had to view it to pronounce it worthy or not. Anyway, seems when I have a dump now they're almost all "declarables". I had a "breacher" today.

Well, I guess this is my life for the time being. I'm spending way too much time on this site reading endless lists of quitters and brief snippets of good stuff. There seems to be more meat on the bone over here in the intro's. Speaking of my meat...well, that's enough for now...
