This Time Is For Real

[Candoit]

Finding myself being angry alot lately. When I become angry the thoughts of using increase. I need to say my piece and move on, not let this fester. Always come back to this why am I letting the small stuff control me? Can not do anything so move on.

As always easier said than done. ODAAT

Candoit, you got this! I have no worries about your quit. One foot in front of the other!

Thank you spuds, for the words and avatar. I think anger has replaced anxiety when I feel out of control. Finding new ways and outlets to move forward.

We are addicts, everything we do is selfish. Quitting itself is a selfish act. Investing in others, staying active, starting dumpster fires, are all 100% selfish acts. The act of either quitting or using are are different ends of the selfishness scale, but both are 100% selfish acts. Me, I choose to be a selfish in a way that benefits me and as a side effect helps others be selfish in reclaiming their lives.

Thanks for helping me get to 100, ya selfish bastard.

RE: Committing to the Comma

While your filled with rage and hatered toward nicotine is welcomed and refreshing, it soon will fade. I enjoy watching all of you come out of the gate with such passion and vigor it inspires me. But just like anything else, it too shall fade.

Many of the old krusty BAQ advise you about being quit for today. We speak of easier times and challenges yet unfathomable. Yet you in your chest thumping "I am QFL" turn a blind eye to the sage warns and collective wisdom. This wisdom is built, sadly, upon the remains of many former BAQ, who choose a different path.

The comma will come, but so shall challenges so vast you cannot begin to contemplate them. One thing will bring you through those unimaginable challenges to our egos and quit, the value you place in a simple task. Posting your promise to make it 24 hours nicotine free. Not your brash QFL or commitment to 800 more days, but just making it through today.

Today is all that matters. Today is all I control. Today is what I make of it. All anyone of us can promise is to make it to tomorrow, not forever. Forever is hope and faith. Today is sweat and toil. Making it to tomorrow is something you can hang your hat on.

While I admire the balls to the wall quit, remember that you need to be okay with the person in the mirror. Too often we let ego cover the flaws we seek to hide from ourselves. Learn to deal with those flaws and eventually be proud of them.

You have made it this far, are you in for another day?

This is pure good stuff! ^^^^^ one day at a time is what gets you through. Even past the comma, i still draw on that method. You need to practice that approach repeatedly, that's what arms you for the long haul. Don't short cut your learning, undermine your quit- just follow the method here as hard as you can. That's what works.
