First day of week 3:

Some thoughts.  It has been five years since I've been this long without tobacco.

In about another week, it will be the longest I've been without any form of nicotine since I started using it in college (fifteen years ago).

My energy levels are pretty good, got a great night of sleep last night.  Cravings are essentially a non-issue now (though I know I can never let my guard down).

My mouth feels good, sores have mostly gone away.

I'm not experiencing rage and anxiety like I was the first week and a half.

I'm already starting to make internet friends  (wub you guys!)  okay, yeah, now to say something manly.... ummm, beer, and football.... yeah, fishing!

My wife is already noticing a difference in my behavior and level of grumpiness has gone down.  We even shared some time last night laughing hysterically at random stupid funny shit on the internent.  That's good bonding time for you younger kids who don't know how to keep you wife happy to be with you.

All in all, I"m doing good.  I'm proud of my success to date and I'm QLF EDD.
That Sir, Is what we call winning. You are doing a fine job Sapper ;Ironman:
Go, Sapper, Go!

Woah, I think we have found ourselves a quitter!!!
That's kick ass! Proud of you!
Well done Sapper! You have a right to be proud. You are earning back your freedom. Stay vigilant today! QLF!!
Nice job!!! Keep up the great work!!! You're WINNING

So, the beauty of this site has fully revealed itself to me.  I woke up grumpy, was grumpy all day, still am kind of grumpy.  I am about 99% certain I would have caved today if it hadn't been for this site.  Let me explain.

I knew immediately that I was dealing with the 2 week weakness, which I learned about from this site.

I contacted some folks in my text group and told them that life was sucking... and even got a random unsolicited text from gdub.

I posted in the like half a dozen threads I'm now being held accountable in.

When the cravings and overall shittiness was at its peak, I just knew caving wasn't an option.  I couldn't dare post on this website after all the outreach, education, and support I've gotten today to say that I had given up and caved.  In the end, it's the accountability and knowledge that mattered, and both came from KTC.
'clap' - well done, and should feel good when you realize that you are not alone
You got it. If you caved it'd be an epic failure and devastating to many people. You have accountability now. You simply cannot cave. Way to get it. I quit with you today.

I just had the most vividly disturbing cave dream.  In it, I was dipping at one of my son's Cub Scout family camp outs in front of all the boys, other scout leaders, and parents and while I've got the dip in, somebody asks to bum one and I'm spitting and saying in front of everybody, oh no I don't have any I quit two weeks ago.

And on another note, I'm tired of posting roll only to get bumped off if it like every fucking day.

Kind of grumpy this morning.
Dip dreams don't go away. I had my second in a row today(151). Too bad we're addicts. As for the bumping it happens. Best defense is wait around a while to see if you get bumped and fix it. :ph43r:
Man, what I wouldn't give to get bumped off roll again! The good old days. Ha!

The new quit groups have a lot of action on the page and it just happens. As time progresses people get to understand it and keep an eye out for when hey bump. So, it gets better.

Don't let this be an obstacle. Post in the am then check back later and redo it if you have to. It is part of the process.

Your kickin ass. Keep it up today.
d40 - You got your wish...bumped you on April 2014 this morning....fixed it too 'crackup' Ah, the good ol' days

Agree^^^^....had one two nights ago entering Day 40....was hoping they went away, but can accept it if they do not. Chin up Sapper, in the end nothing gets better with dip; the ol' 1 problem + dip = 2 problems....anything else you might think is just the nic bitch trying to trick you. You are really working through this, keep it up. Quit with you.
