Day 6 has been a rough one for me because I went back to work. I found an old can in my locker and I rubbed it like I was a teenager again. I even smelled it and then chucked it in the toilet cuz I liked it. I thought it would have smelled different or something now that i had quit. Lesson learned don't ever do that again.
Hey. Count that one in the win column Chowdie- nicely done flushing it !

Found your intro! The trick with the cranberry juice seemed like a brilliant idea to me, I wish I had thought of it.

Stay quit, my px is in your inbox.

I was a ninja dipper, but I will have a berserker quit - Here's some encouragement

NEVER Ring the Bell! Watch this. It will change your life.

When a crave hits watch this.

"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be Kind Always."

?Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good. ? ~ Vince Lombardi

"We all have our own demons that we face on a day to day basis. Some we can talk to others about. Some that we have to work through on our own. ...the nic bitch continues to knock on the doors my friends. Stay strong, stay vigilant." - Fireheeler; 6/11/14 in AUG14

Never cured, but quitting like this

What cost is too high?

I cant believe I am at Day 5 but there is no way in friggin' hell that I'm turning back now. I am finding my self starving for food at night and I ravish the fridge like a pregnant lady. I guess a few extra lbs. are better than an addiction to the nicotine. I have my craves and my quit buddies talk me off the ledge. In fact I am talking this nonsense now because I am trying to get through a wicked morning crave. This site and the people are the only reason I am on day 5. Thanks Bros!!!
This site is a huge help and provides you with all sorts of tools for building the foundation of your quit, but do not shortchange yourself - you are the reason you are quit. You are that strong, you just didnt know it yet. Discovering that what you thought was a loving mutual partnership with nicotine was really being a slave to a murderous, thieving cunt helped you find the strength.

Keep killing this bro. lean on your brothers here when your strength flags a bit, and be there for them when they need it. You have exchanged numbers with others in your quit group? (thats a rhetorical question BTW - the only answer is yes or you are wrong). Use them now - build that foundation.

In fact, my number is in your inbox now. You got this.
Great talking to you last night Chowdie. Keep it up, you got this! Food will start to taste better, the world will just start to feel different around you. Freedom is beginning to take root, your brain and body are healing.

I'm quit with you today!
Nice job chowdie! 5 days of hard earned quit is nothing short of outstanding.

Eat if you need to ... Don't worry about it. The weight will fall off later. The important thing is staying quit right now. That is your #1 priority.

Keep at it ODAAT!

Day 3- I am encouraged by all the strangers that are stepping up to help me. That is the true meaning of "brotherhood" and when I unf*#k my addiction, I will be paying it forward to help others. Last night sucked bad, but I took the beating like a man. You cant make it hard enough attitude was all I had to fight it. I went for a 5K run this morning and started Jonesing bad after the run. I will make it through today! Thanks Bros!!!
These guys are just strange, not strangers. We have been where you are. All of us. Use this resource and before you know it you will be helping our quit, your quit and some newbies quit.
Hang tough and breath deep.
Quit on!

The problem is not the problem.  The problem is your attitude about the problem.  Do you understand?

Chowdie - Saw your day 5 post. Day 5 is when it started getting better for me. I can't say it was a magical switch that turned off but slightly better each day. At a minimum I was at least able to finish thoughts and complete simple tasks. I don't know how EMTs, firefighters, nurses, Drs, military folk are able to do it the first few days. I was able to hide behind my laptop and be somewhat silent on conference calls. You guys that have to be always on in front the of the public, wow. The good news is you made it through most of the suck, it gets easier. Bet you're getting longer kisses from your wife. Stay on track and keep your promise. You will not regret it.

Chowdie we quit the same day, I don't have kids or a wife yet, I'm 25 and looking up to you, let's do this together!!!

I'm on the same day and same struggle bud!
That's the way! With support from someone going through things at about the same time, you really get some accountability too. Both of you guys quit hard and know there's a lot of support here for you too.

Day 3 blows goats, but when you hit the sack tonight as a bad ass quitter, it will all be worth it.

You are winning! When you get mad remember to focus your rage at the poison and its' pushers at big tobacco! I don't want see them get another cent for addicting people to poison! Quit on Chowdie, and PM me if you need anything.
