Quit4good.......again

[Richard K]

By the way, welcome to the 2nd floor!!

Your quit is absolutely for real. You're doing great Mike. It's life man. But I can tell you that the good times will keep getting longer and the battles with nic will keep getting shorter and easier. Around 200 was a tough time for me too.

And... it.boils to down the ever deepening knowledge that a dip will NOT make anything even a li'l bit better. Rock on, brother!

Roller coasters are fun once you get used to them. Nicotine fills everything and pulls us into a shell. Life without it is a wonderful blessing once you acclimate to it. And you are.

One day at a time bro. It is such an honor to be on this ride with you.

Just enjoy being quit! Ole nicky loves playing head games! Always remember ODAAT good or bad, together we have ths!

Day 209 - I'm still not cured

It's odd how everyone seems to experience rough stretches around the same time. I meant to post this last night but just didn't have time or maybe the energy.

The last 2 or 3 days have been extremely rough for me, I'm feeling like I'm being pulled in 3 different directions at work and then when I get home my wife and I are having some serious disagreements. The tension and the cravings have been snowballing and really hit me hard yesterday afternoon. I sat there watching TV last night thinking, if it wasn't for everyone at KTC I'd said screw it today, and I'd be sitting here with a dip right now.

I have days where I feel great and bullet proof about being quit but it's mind boggling to think that after nearly 7 months I can still have days like yesterday.

Not looking for sympathy, just trying to keep it real.

Thanks, and farewell to the 1st floor! ;)

The comment was made earlier in my intro that it’s hard to see how posting a promise to a bunch of STRANGERS could be helpful at maintaining a Quit. And I thought, “yep, if they remain strangers, you might as well be quitting by yourself”, I shared the exact same skepticism for a couple of months after I joined back in May. But the amazing thing is, a great many of you are no longer strangers.

Sometimes I post in intros when someone hits a milestone, and think “I doubt if my ‘attaboy!’ really means much, they’ve got so many big Quitters congratz-ing them”. But I’ve got to say, I can’t begin to express my appreciation to everyone who’s congratulated me here in my intro or on our roll in July, in the support section in July, on the roll in September, in groupme, through personal texts and PMs. It has meant a great deal to me!

With all this support, the choice to stay Quit is STILL up to me, I know IÂ’m still going to experience cravings and the support doesnÂ’t make the craving Suck any less, but every time I pass that gas station now, when IÂ’m having one of those days, I think of each of you, who are anything but STRANGERS(with the exception of Stranger999), and I know I canÂ’t pull in there and buy a can. WhatÂ’s more, I truly want to see each of you be successful in your Quit, as badly as I want to be successful in mine and IÂ’d be crushed to hear you were posting another day 1.

Thanks for all your overwhelming support guys/gals. IÂ’m convinced that if that canÂ’t get me over this self-imposed 292 day wall nothing can.

Mike1966 – Day 201 see you again tomorrow

Good stuff and congratulations again!

Congratulations on 200 days of bad ass winning. You are a great example of why this place works. You help others, including me, be better quitters and have a layer of accountability a mile deep. Soak up the win today.

And trust me when I promise more greatness is ahead.

200 is so damn cool, Mike!

There's a gear shift in Quit right about here. You can take a breather and enjoy the ride a bit more. Everything is a bit less work. Freedom is a bit more clear.

Rock on!

2-0-0 is amazing! you have some real tastes of freedom ahead. Soak them in, the really good stuff is hard-earned and coming your way! There are still challenges ahead, as you know, but you are arming yourself to be able to get through them easily as possible. Keep this rare, top-notch quit you have built rolling along, Mike! Keep giving back, too- what you share helps so many!

2nd floor view, it's getting better!
congrats Mike!

Been stuck in F-ing meetings with Caltrans just chomping at the bit to get in here and wish you a happy arrival to the second floor. Watch where you step. Who knows what AJ, Brett, WtW, CJ and Pab left lying around. Keep going Bro. You are killing this with your commitment and great attitude. Proud to be quit with you!!!!!

Damn......Just........Damn! You are killing it! No turning back, ever! Damn proud to call you my brother and friend! Quit on!

Congrats man keep it rolling!!!!

Congratulations on 200 days Mike! Keep tacking on those +1s and keep helping others here. I'm glad you are in my quit web! :)

Way to go Mike! 200 days of freedom achieved with a solid foundation for the future. Proud to quit with you brother!
