Seems like every trigger in the arsenal was throw at me today, from arguing with my wife to almost pancaking a moron in a camaro. Around every turn a littke voice saying "just one dip". I almost caved... almost... I actually have a head ache from grinding my teeth so hard.
Those days are rough. We know exactly what you're talking about. You've got balls for getting through it.

Are you equipped with phone numbers for those rough moments? I swear by calling or texting when the going gets tough. Sometimes just telling someone else that you're in the midst of a struggle helps to pull you through. PM me your number if you need another guy to reach out to.

Theres a lot of hills on the quit highway. Drop a gear, find that sweet spot, and settle in for the long haul. Where there is an upgrade, a downgrade is sure to follow. Enjoy the coasts while you can. As you develop your tools of quit, you will find that you can level the mountain or drill a tunnel straight through. Keep pulling bro. I am pulling right along side you.

Well I passed the ultimate stress test,  NYC  rush hour traffic! If that can't make a man cave nothing will.

Good job cmv. You got this man. You'll start uncovering the lies one at a time.
As time passes you'll see that the poison only kept your addiction fed. I know it's one thing for me and others to tell you, but it's another to see and feel the truth. You keep pressing forward brother.

One day at a time and you can reclaim a lot of what the poison has stolen. Never again for any reason and you can keep it. Quit with you cmv.
Spot on srans. Spot on.
Dude... I have to say. Ur quit has been rockin. You came in spouting weak addict speak early this week, listened to some smart quitters immediately, dumped ur stash on the spot and now you are locked in! This quit has got me pumped. Keep reading and learning on this site. Looking forward to you posting roll tomorrow am first thing and keeping this thing rolling. Proud to be quit with you!
I'm serious about quitting, I made my mind up long before I found this site I wanted to quit. Guess I just needed a push to stop procrastinating. After I dumped my stash, I read the story of jenny and tom kern, and several others, but thier story stuck with me. So much destruction in little more than a year. It really bolstered my resolve, I will not go out like that.
Lol. Know that feeling. Nice work

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Day 4 is huge cmv. Here's what you need to do. Get in that big rig and head to Alaska. They have some of the highest elevations known to man. Once you get there take a good look and find the highest peek you can see. Drive your rig as close as you can. Get out, pull out your mountain climbing gear and get to it.

Once you get to the top bro, take a good look around without the poison clouding your vision and desensitizing you brain. Take a good look at the world the way it was intended. I guarantee you take a good look you'll see a different world. Welcome to freedom. Breathe it, taste it and feel it. Remember this moment. This is the way life was intended to live.

Now if Alaska is out of the question and your cardio is not up to par. Just open your front door, step outside and take a good look. Same thing. Glad to be quit with you bro.
No food analogies here?? 'crackup'


Great advice- enjoy your freedom and revel in it!!

Steve, Congrats on hitting day 4 and posting roll.  This is a big one.  The last of the actual nicotine is leaving your body.  You are free from the bitch, and I am proud of how you just dumped that shit on the side of the road and started rolling nic free. 
Read up on what to expect during this next phase. 
You are an inspiration. Glad to be quit with you.
Ill go take a look, so far I haven't had a whole lot of issues. Worst times seem to be right after a good meal, or when I first wake up. The routine gets me...

You just hit on something huge bro... Routine. I am a creature of routine and right at first... My quit was getting the best of me. I mean... Too much, too fast. When I realized my routine was kicking my ass I changed it up. 180 change up. I don't know what that looks like for you but give it some thought. What do you do after dinner? If you usually sit and relax... Don't! Go for a walk, do some chores. Keep track of your trigger issues and look for ways to do them differently or combine things. I dunno. Be proactive in your solutions. Be creative :)
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.
