well onto day 17. Things are going well. Picked up my MIA car with a newly rebuilt transmission. Good Thing. Payment to shop,,,, Bad Thing. And forgot....smell of spilled dip within the car that had not been cleaned since I QUIT, VERY BAD THING.

Well made it that 90 minutes on the drive home...reminder to myself - VACCUUM.

Got 1 more big hurdle that I have not yet faced and that will be the camping/hiking weekend with the boy scouts. I will get to that in another 3 weeks or so.

But until then I will take one day at a time and fight my quit with my brothers and sisters of Rockober
FUCKING YES. You're going to have a hard time on those hikes carrying gigantic balls of steel.

Nice work.
Agreed, get some moleskin. With those balls, you don't want chafing.
Good stuff brother I always enjoy reading about daily victories!

Keep on keeping on!
Hunting, Fishing, Hiking, and anything outdoors will be hard for sure but I am not giving in under any circumstance and neither are you! I don't give a fuck if I have a warm barreled .45 pointed to my temple, You will not break me!!!!!!
This is my first summer in 29 years without nic. It has been amazing so far. I've saved over $800 so far, haven't spilled my spit can in the boat or camper and haven't run out of chew in a town with all the stores closed for the night.

I love being nic free. I still get craves everyday but I have learned to deal with the craves thanks to this site.

All you got to do is quit today. Don't worry about tomorrow. Keep it going brother.

I also like hunting, hiking, and anything else exciting or outdoors. I like all sports and recently got into volleyball.

Well am into the double digits, 12 to be exact. Most of the symptoms seem to be gone, but still using the seeds, gun, candy and all. I do say the taste buds are a changing as actually had to turn away from a rather tart key lime cheesecake at dinner last night. And tonight would joke and say its about that bakers dozen of 13 and I am eating the baker (fridge is about empty as finally got full hunger back).

So overall things are going great. Am feeling good and got a great group of quiiters in that Oct 12 group with Eric, Jag, Sambo, Divine, 2mch, Kre, Gazelle and the rest.

Lets do this all and bury this nic bitch in all of our pasts. I will take the oath again tommorrow.
Keep going brother, I'll quit w/you everyday, one at a time, see you at roll call.

Eric
It's a process bro. A long process. Glad things seem to have smoothed a bit you. Rest and prepare yourself for the next battle.

Ty Diesel,

and throughout this all, even if I am in tears, from all this stress and exhaustion, I know in my heart that the nic bitch is lying in the coffin with the nails in it and never to come out again.
Derek I'm with you also a scout master and eagle scout and have been re evaluating my Oath and Promise. My new resolve is to be a better example to the young men that are in my troop. I commend you for keeping your promise and observing such important lessons as you continue to pound those nails in the coffin one day at a time with me and all the rest of us addicts.

Damn bro!!! Talk about being tested!!!! Way to stay strong!!! I was trimming the bushes today and THOUGHT I was being tested. Every time we pass any test, we win a little bit and our confidence grows that we can handle "life" without nicotine.

ok I think this is the worst that could happen, and yes I have QUIT through it all as I have promised.

As mentioned this weekend was one of my biggest triggers as was spending 4 ballgames coaching and then watching/scouting the games in between.

Well have made it through, guess mind was preoccupied enough and was able to use my fake Hooch and beef jerky instead.

But it wouldn't stop there. We then had to get my son to boy scout camp to start his week there with the rest of the boys. Well the camp is close to 2 hours away from where we live. We dropped him off and 15 minutes into our trip home, the transmission goes in my car. Here we are stranded after calling triple AAA. You want to know the stress level.... And guess what, I did not touch anything and kept it out of my system.

We have one hell of a close family friend whose 19 year old son drove the 2 hours to pick us up and bring us home (oh yeah BTW he was an Eagle Scout). I guess that is something I can add to my resolve to keep quit as being Clean is part of the boy scout oath that not only I have taken as a leader but now to respect what this boy has done for us.

Well if this is the first week, all else should be a piece of cake.
