Day 34 is almost over.... FUCK!!!!!! Is all I have to say.  It's been a tooth and nail battle the last few days.  I know most will say that I need to reach out to my brothers of my group, but truth is I worry about them.  I worry that my weakness and my crave may drag them down to my dark place.   Sadly, my mind has sunken into the romantic faze of nicking.  I know it's wrong. I know she's a heartless bitch that just wants to kill me, but some sick and twisted side of me misses that false sense of relaxation.  I know it's so wrong!   I feel ASHAMED to write that, I know it's wrong.  I hate that bitch so bad for doing what she does, for making me feel this way.   I try to kick the craves, I've been crossfitting so much lately that all of my joints now hate me.  I need to go get some more fake dip.  That's my fault that I don't have any, put truth is, they all suck.  I know I'm not the only one going through this, or that has gone through this.  And I know I will get through this, but let me reiterate... FUCK!!!... Day 34 is almost over. (breathe)

Bro... the only way your crave or weakness affects anyone elses quit is by making ours stronger. What!?! Yeah man... this site works because despite feeling like shit ourselves sometimes... we will reach out to a brutha in need and pull him off the ledge, or sympathize, or call him names, or refocus his attention, or burp him, or change his diaper, or whatever. You're not alone or special in those bad days or minutes or hours. We all have 'em. Yours will fade and you'll hit a high... enjoy the hell out of those. When you're in the dark-shadowy places... you reach out dammit! Bring that shit here... we get it. Quit on m'man...

Please check out cmorgan1's intro thread, I just bumped an old post discussing this very thing. Dont view your nic use as some old love affair. That shit never did a damn thing for you. You thought of it as a crutch, but in reality is was an anchor. Keep rolling man you are doing great. This weekend was a test and you passed it. You have to clebrate the victories, even the ugly ones.

PM me you want another number, I promise you wont harm my quit. Press on quitter.

Mollie -

I can understand not putting yourself out there, as I was in similar boat during my early quit. I didn't want to bother others or affect them in a bad way. but I came to realize that they are there for me the same way I am there for them.

I also realized that it is ok to show a little weakness as it allowed the others to build their own strength to help me, which then picked me up and made me even stronger.

So just remember man, go ahead and when you post roll, give that little insight into yourself to your family, and man you will get so much in return.

I quit with you today, just keep on keeping on

Day 19

Just wanted to give a little update, a little insight into what being quit can do.

Less than 3 weeks ago I was on 20 mg of lisinopril for my blood pressure, even with the medicine my average bp was 135/80ish.  Today I am down to 10 mg of lisinopril and my bp is 119/66.  I couldn't be more excited.  I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my chest. A few more weeks in the gym and kicking the salty sunflower seeds to the side and I will be off the meds completely.

Perfect. I bet you are off that stuff soon.

Mollies,, That's great to hear. I like that you posted this. It's something that shows everyone that nicotine surely affects your health.

I also was battling slightly high blood pressure. When I checked it ran low 140's/low90's. I was getting so close to getting drugs to help. On several occasions I was sure my blood pressure was up further because of the way I felt.

I've checked a couple times in the last month or so and I've been high 120's/low80's. Between quitting and exercise I feel so much different.

My headaches have dropped off. I don't think i've had a headache in a couple months. I used to fight headaches everyday.

Maybe some people will read this today and see that health is affected by nicotine.
Good post mollies,, glad to be quit with you.

Appreciate all the support today. I was just pretty down this morning. I am getting back into the gym more religiously again and I'll start watching what I eat better. My number one thing is being healthy, starting with being quit every day all the rest will fall into place in due time.

That's the spirit bro! That's the B-A quiter I know. Awesome you had th balls to let us know your downs. I enjoy being quit with a MAN like You MM.

Day 16 today.  Kind of a shitty day to be honest.  The two things I hate most about quitting is never getting that satisfying dip feeling when you are stressed, and Two, the constant eating.  My God, Can I ever get full?  It's like I constantly need to be chewing on something.  Fake dip has lost its powers the last couple of days. And here I am trying to get healthier and all I can do is think about eating! FUCK!!!!  Fighting an uphill battle!    Oh well, just needed to get that out.  Tomorrow will be a better day.  I am quit today.

Mollie, my approach may not be for everyone, but if you can when you crave and are looking for that feeling drop down and do push-ups, if you cant breath you cant crave. The most important thing to remember is, you can always diet, if the worst thing that happens is you gain a few pounds but are free who the heck cares!

Gotta tell ya Mollie, nicotene speeds up your metabolism so when we quit the tendency is to put on the weight.

For me I ranked the quit higher. I ended up gaining 25+ pounds. And after getting a hold of everything, last month I started an exercise program and have lost about 10 of it.

You can always lose weight. You most likely cannot lose cancer.

So be strong, worry about keeping the crap/poison out of your body today, and let everything else come in time. It will work out.

I am quit with you today +1
