Nice Little Intro

[slug.go]

Just keep the quit on, post roll EDD, the rest is gravy, damn good gravy, but gravy. You're rocking it!

I am hanging in there, Wolfe. It has gotten much easier. Hell, I am even taking up exercising. I don't know what has gotten into me. Just got busy with work, everything is working out much better than it was. I appreciate the check in, I do. I need to get better about posting, just got really busy in a hurry.

I like the focus and dedication. Doesn't matter how hard it gets, you are committed. Stay that way.

I like this right here. Focus and dedication. Everyday. No excuses because there is no other path. You quit and commit.

How's it goin brother? Haven't heard much from you like you used to do on your intro thread. How you feeling nowadays? It's getting better and easier now, isn't it?

Quit with you JT

I appreciate all the support! Tough week, but I made it through. No relapses. Things are heading in the right direction, and doing it without nicotine. I'm thankful for that, and for this site. It gives you a certain sense of empowerment to see so many other people dealing with the same shit, and then whipping its ass. We all are going to have our demons, but nicotine won't be one of them. Quitting with all of you today!

Day 5. ODAAT. Nice quit you are building

[thewolfe]

Made it through the work day. Went to work to get shit on a little bit more. And the wife's car won't crank (I've been working on a completely different issue for a week now). It is pouring this week, but I shall keep strong. Smokey Mountain is my best friend this week. Thanks for keeping up with me, Thewolfe. This morning, I had more energy and felt better than I have in a long time, but after lunch, I felt like I could barely move. Still not sleeping great, haven't had a full nights rest after quitting, but I am coming along. Going to see if I can't figure our what's up with this damn car. Getting me frustrated.

I'm keeping up on you and you're keeping up on me. See, just reading what you're going thru reminds me of what I went thru a few weeks ago and reinforces my resolve to never have to go thru that again. We are all helping each other in different ways.

Just work thru the issues plaguing you right now, car, work.... You can handle that shit.

Pouring ehh? Ain't seen much rain out here in Ca. Big dry spell.

Weekend coming up, be extra careful for triggers.. Hanging out, drinking with the buds, and other triggers. Stay away from the booze, if only for this first weekend, but longer if you think it would lapse your judgement.

If you made it thru today, then you can make it thru tomorrow.. ODAAT

Be quit , I'm quit with you.

Tough day today. I have been extremely fortunate thus far in my quit to not have a lot of withdrawal symptoms, at least not nearly as bad as they were the last time I attempted quitting. But having a great opportunity at work that I have been looking forward to for months now, having it jerked right out from under me by our "leadership" today, really burned me up. I have earned it, and this shit is being done on a power trip, and it is pissing me off beyond belief. At any rate, how that pertains to my quit, obviously this would be the time where I reach for the Wolf and cold beer, and get on with life. This is the first day I have really felt the cravings, but I am holding tight. Smokey Mountain has been extremely clutch for me. I appreciate all of y'all's words of encouragement. I just needed to vent a little. This is just not been the kind of quit week I would have imagined. I didn't foresee an advancement/promotion opportunity getting jerked out from under me by the same people that claim to care about my future, especially on the week where I am dealing with withdrawals. I don't know if any of this shit makes any sense, but I do know one thing..I am 72 hours free of the nic bitch!

Also, rtpope, I should have been more specific, I am only a civilian working for the Army, the real thanks belong to those in uniform. I know what you were trying to do though!

MCO, boobs are always welcome. Like Ron White says, once you've seen one boob, you pretty much want to see the rest of them.

Keep strong man. Once you push past this work thing without caving, you can hold your head up and say "Damn, if I got thru THIS week without a dip, then I can get thru any fucking thing life throws at me"

Quit hard with you

I don't know if this will get seen, but I was curious about these introduction posts. Do people normally use this space just to give updates on progress? Or is that done primarily by just posting roll every day? I am new to this, and would like to be active in the community here, but I might require a little guidance on where to go. Most of my friends that dip tell me I can't quit (who needs enemies), where as my friends that don't dip are supportive, but do not know the struggle. That is why I would like to be active here, because you all know how bad this shit sucks.

It will be seen. Our shared experience and accountability is the key to success.

Write whatever you want to. Some people write a running journal. Some hardly post anything between day 1 and HOF. After a while you will also feel comfortable adding to other's intro posts as well.

When a person comes up to HOF I read their intro from beginning to end to learn as much as I can about their experience to help with my quit today.

Quit with you today

[Mupig]

Welcome to the wonderful world of the best bad-ass quitters! Stay strong, keep plowing through. You will be amazed as to how much easier it gets as each day goes by. First couple really suck - but then it gets easier.

We all quit with you!
