Long time lurker!!

Hey buddy,

Anger, rage and very short temper has been my biggest issue during my quit. I mean, I have been way out of control. The past 7 days I have been more like my self and my anger isn't as easily triggered.

Work out to exhaustion as often as you can, it helps but time helps more than anything.

My wife has been an angel through this thing....

Can somebody help me out.

I'm on day 7 and I feel like I'm back to day 2.

I spent most of the day on the lake putting in brush piles for crappie fishin this winter.
I knew the lake would set off some triggers and it did. Nothin I couldn't handle. (My day 2 was a living hell.)
So tonight I take the boys to the store and get stuff for hotdogs. We start a fire in the back and all the sudden I'm in a shit mood. I mean scary shit mood.
I feel like a fuckin monster. Like I want to destroy something or someone.
I have no regard for anything or anyone.

I handle it by getting away from my boys and drinking some cold water. Of course I threw in a pinch of backoff. But wtf is going on? I thought it was going to get easier or can I expect these moods to come on sometimes.

Thanks guys.

8,760 days of use vs 7 days of quit.

You're doing great but you will have some battles ahead, no doubt about it.

You're body is pissed. It wants its posion. What do little babys do when they don't get what they want? They cry and throw a fit, because they have not learned how to fend for themselves and function without dependency.

Obviously you're not a baby, but you're going through something similar. Your body wants something it used to be dependant on, but when you tell it no, you get PISSED.

Eventually you will learn you don't need your widdle bah bah anymore, but it will take time and be a struggle. Also you will eventually learn not to shit yourself and lose the diaper.

This is one if diesel's best posts, Kelly... It is spot on. Keep pushing. It will get better.

Awesome work on getting to day 7! It'll have it's ups  downs, some days it feels like one step forward two steps back, but you definitely got this.

Ive had some pretty rough mood swings and fits of anger. Luckily I work alone so nobody was around. You did the right thing and got out of there. Im a big fan of the fake snuff, Its like magic for me. It calms the savage beast!

Hey bro... You got this. I am on day 107 and felt like I was back to my first 30 days. Don't worry about it. We will have ups and downs.

All you have to do is stay quit today. Try to forget about progress, what day you feel like, where u think u should be.... All that doesnt really matter in end. Just focus on staying quit this minute and this day.... You can do it! I plan on doing it with ya! Quit on!

I've been an asshole for 41 years. Soon to be 42. You're doing great and sounds like you are doing exactly the right thing. You posted roll this morning. You are a man of your word. You are reaching out. You will push through this. But I'll still be an asshole.

Yes! you can expect shit like this, and Yes it does get better, much better, just look at what you wrote "I knew the lake would set off some triggers and it did. NOTHIN I COULDN'T HANDLE"
See things are already way better, but yeah crappy moments will show up, just know they will decrease in both frequency and intensity.
You did the right thing, got away from people who don't deserve to suffer because you stuffed your lip, and posted in here with a lot of people who get exactly what you are going through.

I am proud to quit with you today.

Day - 7

One week. Wow

Before I found this site I never would have made it to day7 with no nicotine. Hell I never would have tried.

I was always looking for the easiest way.

The patch the gum. Anything that would ease the pain of not dipping!!

Can't thank you guys enough for the support.

To the Elders and Founders of this innovative site.

You have saved my life and the lives of countless others.

I Salute You.


Side note: did anyone else find it terribly ironic that last night on SNF it was Breast cancer

awareness night and the refs had pink flags and the players were dressed in pink shoes and shit, 

all the while the coaches and players have a mouth full of cancer causing poisonous weed.

where the fuck is the fuckin Tobacco awareness?

Fantastic job. That first week is a hell-ride. Now, for a whole new set of problems- welcome to week two. HAHA. Not to worry, you have a strong quit going. Stay on track and you will be just fine brother.
Glad to be quit with you.

Awesome bro! See you posting up with other groups and rocking your quit. One week is freaking huge, just remember ODAAT. Your just as quit at 7 days as I am at 161 days, but it does get easier each time to win a victory over that cancer in a can. Your a bad ass, I quit with you all damn day bro. Erussell 161.
