You da man, man.

'Finger' DOS attacks.
The problem is not the problem.  The problem is your attitude about the problem.  Do you understand?

If its too much trouble to post roll call, you could always fuck off.

Day 5 in the books and doing better than I thought. New coach on staff has been a quitter for 8 mos, so that's gonna help. Another said he was done when he finished his current can.

Great to have this site. Even more is the support my wife is giving me. Such a relief to not be "sneaking a dip here and there". Never felt guilty about it until last Friday.

I too have been having the sleepless or restless nights.

I cann't remember what its like. I have now made it to 48 hours with no nic. Thank you for your help and support.
take a look at your signature line. Just keep moving through the fog. The suck, embrace it, take it in, own it, make it yours so you remember its pain. If you remember the suck and how bad it is, you will not cave on an impulse because the pain to get back to where you are right now will keep you quit.

If you need anything, look me up or PM

Proud to be quit with you today

Is it normal to fight sleep during the beginning of my quit. It seemed that last night all I could do was toss and turn, no dreaming but my brain would not shut off, my legs were twichy, which is weird cause I bust my ass at the gym yesterday and it was a leg day. I was also kinda itchy. Is this my body trying to figure out what Im doing?
Absolutely 100% normal.

You will need to rediscover the "real" normal . . . . what your life/body should be like without the poison. Can you remember that far back?

The real you is a great discovery . . . .
Go for it!

Thanks man. I didn't realize I need to post in My own group. I am Oct. 2012, but Thanks so much for the inspiration. I like your way of thinking, and Yes, i get the "thinks" all the time. Its also my dipper friends who try to persuade their "thinks" onto me. It's a constant barrage !!! I will perservere and make it through. I know i messed up on spelling.
