Great HOF speech man!! Proud to be quit with you today.

MN/3,405

Thank you! 121

I made the difficult decision to start seeing a doctor and dentist finally...doctor will be first, I know...its childish but I am not ready to get bitched at for my teeth... thats just a discussion im not ready for, itll be expensive and extensive, but thats what I get fir being an idiot for 16 years

Same here for the dentist... This bill is going to suck, and you know what that is on me for being an idiot for all those years. If I am being honest it is going to feel great not having busted teeth and pain all the damn time. Makes me sick though thinking about all the damage I did. I know I will need gum graphs as well, so I am terrified of that....

118 and damn... we are going on a week of good days

Finally having a break from the oral fixation has just been a blessing, my mind is finally clearer, im able to focus on things.

Ive also found it easier to focus and be more present in KTC. You know when I first started I wasnt sure how much I bought into the idea of a life long accountability discord. Now its an enjoyable part of the day.

I know there will be downs, but man... finally having good days is a huge boost of encouragement that I needed.

116 still riding a good wave...feels good to finally hit that point

Gets a bit frustrating when you continuously struggle daily but now? Finally seeing the positives of what life can and will be like after dip

Missed therapy on thursday, thought I had it scheduled but didnt...rescheduled for Monday, rough way to start the week but cant afford to miss therapy like that

The cravings are back, in a bad way.. the teeth hurt worse than they have, I feel worse than I have in awhile.

Really ready for a smooth week or two at some point.
You will get there man - focus on one minute, one hour, half day, one day at a time.

I think for a lot of people there is such anticipation surrounding the HOF or 100 day mark. In reality, it's a milestone lodged squarely in the middle of a challenging stretch for most people. Some of my most challenging times were just before 200. I don't say that to scare you; rather, keep trusting the process and know, for a fact, that it will get smoother/easier. You got this man.

105

Its funny, I got to 100 with no fake dip or anything. For whatever reason when this all started my mind was determined not to use anything to help. Just embrace the suck and get through it, and i did. But I always assumed that after 100 id be more open to fake dip.

But now that ive gone this long I am super hesitant to change anything and my mind has almost made the switch to making 200 without fake dip being required.

I guess its always good to have goals? Lol, either that or its my mind still in the mindset that I have to "earn" the quit and "prove" my quit by making it suck more than it has to

100 days. 2400 hours and counting.

What a weird day. A hell of a step forward and a personal moment I didnt think id ever have. On to day 101, standing proudly with the bastards of July 25.

Cant repay what this site and discord has done for me. Long way to go, but I look forward to celebrating every day quit with all of you.
Congrats on the HOF. Keep focusing only ODAAT and let the days add up.
Congrats on 100 man!! I've always said the HOF is a milestone worthy to be celebrated but at the end of the day, it's simply the end of the beginning. Don't lose your focus; don't get complacent. Keep stacking the days ODAAT.
