Everyday that we show up and give our word, needs to be a celebration. Each day is a day further from the person we were and a day closer to the person who we are becoming.

I have had the same converstation with two quitters with in 72 hours of each other. One was day 221 and the other was at day 42. Each texted me...."fuk I am having craves..What the fuk! Why am I still getting them?"

I picked up the phone and called them....

Candi: Dude, ___ days is nothing compared to the length of time we used. 3650 days is 10 years, you think that 600 days is going to fix all of the damage we did?

Kwitthas: Fuk No.

Candi: Then why are you getting upset?

Kwitthas: Never looked at it that way.

Converstation carried on... but wanted to share this point. The worst thing any of us can do is put our quit on a schedule. By doing so you open yourself to dissappointment rather than aknowledgement. I know a crave can happen and I will deal. Rather than why am I still getting them? Fuk... That fuk moment, if not delt with accordingly could lead down a dark path.

She is sneaky, always waiting, each time your able to post a +1, needs to be celebrated as you continue to beat her and reclaim your life.

Yesterday was 200 days since the wife told me she thought it was over. I saw that late last night, and have been thinking about how far I have come as a person.

I still have much more to go, but I am grateful for that. I am grateful I get the chance to learn and be happy with out the nic bitch control my life and my choices. I am making the choices based on what I need to do for my family and me. That is a calming freedom that I have earned, but know its a bad choice away from ending.

I am doing two new things...

1. 24 hours with no negative talk or actions. I set my timer on my phone for 24 hours and restart every time I am negative. My current best is 4 hours.

2. Making a list of the things I have to do today. The one that gives me the greatest axenity, is the one I do first.

I want to be able to do both to completion every day.

Today is a new day. Some how it feels like I am back to some place I was before. I have a sense of hesitation that I have not felt in a long time. Using KTC as an escape and grasping at something that I am searching for. I dont yet know what that is, but only one way to find out, move forward.
One thing I like about you is your refusal to give up. You've gone through some shit this last year and yet the thing that has probably helped you the most is that you keep "moving forward". You've continued to post roll AND support even when you needed it yourself. I have 100% faith in the strength of your quit and the fact that you will stay a pillar of KTC for a long long time. If you left I'd be making another road trip. QLF with you EDD!

Today is the first time in a long time I spent the better part of the day on KTC. I have to say, it is what I needed to refocus. KTC is what you need when you need it.

Those that read this at 400+ days hopefully understand at least the basics of that.

Those that are 100..... feel, touch, taste and live your quit with every fiber of your being. When the easy times come do not stop investing, for the more you have in the bank to live on in the tough times the easier it is.

Do not be pennywise and dollar foolish with your quit.
