Day 100 today.

Figured I'd let ya'll see my first rough draft HOF speech.



I made it. Fuck you all very much. Kiss my brown eye. Hugs and Kisses from Sotex.

But decided it was too short.

Thanks for all your support in the past, present, and future.

I remain

I kind of like that. Add in a few "lick my grundle" and "bunch of caving homos" and I think its gold.

Congrats brother.

Day 54 today.

Bin Laden dead, fuck yeah.

Still quit, fuck yeah.


Best thing about the weekend though is I went through Fri. night, all Saturday, all Sunday without a single crave. Didn't use seeds or anything. I think my quit is really starting to kick in.

Thanks again to this site and all who are here.

Day 50

Milestone? Or just another day in the battle with nic? Both probably but the most important thing is that I am winning like Charlie Sheen. Still have some funks, still have some craves, but I'm am starting to get where I don't think about it for a whole day. That is something because for 23 years I woke up with it on my mind and it stayed in the forefront of my mind during most of my waking hours.

My decision to break free has really made a huge difference. This battle has proven more to me about myself than I have been able to in a long time.

Thanks again to everyone for all the support, and with the continued support of the great quitters here and the grace of God I will celebrate my quit victory daily.

Thanks

6 Weeks. Seems like a long time when I say it like that. Day 42 in an infinite number of days quit that I will only count one at a time. Keep on pressing on. Craves are pretty much all but gone, fog gone, irritability gone, all the symptoms of withdrawl are either gone, or so much less severe that I hardly notice them. I played a round of golf earlier this week and didn't even crave it once and I was really worried about that. I felt great after that.

My life seems so much more full now that it is empty of all these other things brought on by nicotine.

Chin up, big smile, and move forward


Keep up the quit folks

Well done bro. Life is better without that shit. Just stay vigilant, a common funk occurs around day 50, but sounds like you got it goin on!

SOTEX- I am in the home stretch of what has been a pretty horrible Day 2. I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley and was drawn to your name. Wow, I really needed to hear what you had to say. I'll fight this 10 seconds at a time if I have to, if that's what it takes to get through today. Today I posted Roll Call and today I am Quit. Peace

30 days passed me by over the weekend. I have heard that there are going to be several more funks on the way so I stay ever ready to take them on.

I have moments where I think a dip sure would feel good, or one little dip can't hurt. But then I remember the words from this site. "For an addict there is no such thing as just one more".

All of the work put in and the support from this site can not be allowed to be undone by one moment of weakness. Which is really all a cave boils down to. A moment of weakness when the guard was let down and that nic bitch got her claws back into you.

Trust me brothers and sisters I plan on beating my addiction on a daily basis. And with the accountability and support I find here I know I can do it.

Today is day 33, which is one third of the way to the HOF goal. Not the ultimate goal just another step in the journey. Until then though I still have 67 more day 1's to get through.

How does a man eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

SOTEX,

Good stuff there. Always vigilant. Congrats on double threes. I quit with you!

Today is my day #21. Three weeks seemed like quite the milestone at the beginning of my quit. But after being here and being in it I realize it is nothing more than my 21st renewal of a promise I make on a daily basis. That is the secret to it all, take everything in manageable increments.

When you first quit, and the nic bitch is tearing you limb from limb inside your head and you wonder how you're gonna survive the first few days. Then you realize you don't have to survive the first few days, you just have to survive the next few moments and so on and so on. As my quit has progressed those moments have gotten larger, but will never expand beyond the present day.

You see it all the time, when a team gets beat by an inferior team because they got caught looking ahead. I am determined that that won't be me.

Rage is still my secret weapon, but I'm finding I need it less as the cravings are decreasing in severity, and frequency. Its a good feeling to have made it this far, but the truth is, its all for nothing if I fail today. So each day I renew my promise and prepare myself for whats headed my way.

Those are my thoughts, observations, and ramblings from 3 weeks in.

Being at 3 weeks is awesome! However you are still in for one of the wildest rides of your life so hang on! Always remember these times and don't forget the war that has been raging even when it seems like the cannons have gone silent. You are the master of your own quit not the nic bitch. Stay quit.

...  I'm quitting not so my children will have a dad longer, but so that I will have my children longer.  I am quitting not so that my wife will kiss me more, but so that I can kiss my wife more.  This quit is all about me and for me...

That's what I'm talking about! Keep that attitude and nic's ass is kicked.

PM everyone on here if you have to to get help in tough times.

Southtex,

Just remember that!!! You've got it nailed...you don't have a "lifetime"...sometimes you've got 10 seconds...but beat the crap out of that 10 and you keep winning.
Congrats for getting it
