Couldnt believe how much two days with out sucked. I need a daily quit fix. I know I am not cured. I know that KTC is a critical part of my life. I know that I will be here tomorrow.

Quote from: Skoal
Today

I will remember I am an addict.

I will make the decision to stay quit just for today. Tomorrow will take care of itself.

I will post roll today to both remind myself I am an addict, and to steel my quit against temptation.

Today I will stand shoulder to shoulder with my fellow quitters and both hold them up and hold them accountable.

Today I will remember that nicotine isn't good for anything but keeping me addicted to nicotine.

Today I will remember Kenzi Kern and I will hug my children tight.

Today I will not hide from my family or friends to satisfy my addiction

Today my battered mind and body will continue to heal from years of ingesting a neurotoxic weed.

Today I live within the bounds of my word and my desire to stay free .

Today I stay quit.

sM.

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.

Quote from: Candoit
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.
