Mike, you are going through some serious stress right now and your mind is still confusing withdrawal relief with real human emotions. I feel for you and at least for me, the cravings - even at times of emotional turmoil, continue to grow fainter and fainter. I know you can keep your quit strong as you deal with family and work stress. Thanks for sharing this - proud to be quit with you. CJ

I'm at day 439 and I still think about zipping over to the C-Store sometimes. 'finger point'

I just refuse to lose at this point regardless of how my day went. I'm invested in my quit like I never have been before.

Mike, I vow to ring your phone to ask you for permission if I ever think I need to cave. Ring mine before you ever decide to make that choice also. :)

Im at Day 381 and i also have these types of patches through the week.

Also wanting to run to the store to grab stuff ive gotten thousands of times before but i cant let myself do that I have suffered the worst part and will not so through that again. Just remember that the worst part is through. Also pm me if you ever need help.

Stay Quit

^^^^^ This is what make this site so helpful. In years past I've made it 7 months + and thought "OK this has got to be as good as it gets" and then I'd have a "rough patch" as Mitch and Stranger says, and I'd think, "Man the NEED just never goes away."

I read a comment by FLLipout the other day toward someone who'd been quit about 30 days. They said hang in there, this is not the "new norm". I can remember getting into the 7 months + time frame in years past and hitting some really bad patches and thinking, " If this is the "new norm" for me, if this is as good as it gets...... eff this!" But thanks to this place, I now know that 300 days continues to be better than 200, 500 continues to be better than 300 and even after 500+ days things still continue to get better. This gives me the courage to keep hanging on.

thanks for all the intro support guys, I appreciate it.

We are more then happy to help brother stick with us and you wont fall
Stay Quit

Never gonna be a cure to this, but posting up rough patches is what the site is for. Stay strong!

^^^^^ Truth from T-wort, again! You just keep stacking up victories, less quickly, as you go. I still get craves of a sort. Especially at high-stress times. And I also get little whispers of "emptiness" that would go away if only, just once.... but, those are faint echos of what used to work. The addiction gets very weak but hasn't left. Still pitifully tries it's old tricks if it thinks there's a chance. They key it to build all your tools up early in your quit (think, HOF-time you should have them, but you keep making them stronger even later) and then use, use, use them to become sort of a quit-jedi. Believe me, some of us really get tested. But together, we do it.
Nice, nice quitting Mike!

Workin' it bro! Well done...

All I know is you're kicking the bitches ass!

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.

It's a spirit man....an addictive spirit. And until you are able to pray that spirit off of you then you will never be "over it". But I promise that once you ever do get that spirit glen and off of you , you will never even give tobacco a second thought again.....like never ,ever,ever,everrrrrrr

Stay strong, you come way to far now
