And the hits just keep on comin'.  As if the fight with my girlfriend wasn't enough (which still isn't resolved) I got a demotion at my volunteer EMS company.  As of Monday I'm no longer an assistant chief, I'll be a captain. 

Ugh.  These stressors are pissing me the fuck off.  But, I'm firm in my commitment to myself and to you fine folks.  I WILL NOT give in and I will not cave.  3 weeks.  3 weeks without nicotine.  There's nothing that can happen that nicotine will make better.

I stay quit with all of you today.  Thanks for the support!
Hang in there brother. It's always darkest before the dawn. You ever need to talk to anyone let me know man, I'm here for you. I quit with you today.

Stay strong, bro. quitting with you today.
Life continues to happen. You will have ups and downs. We all do. The key is understanding that dipping won't help any of it. In fact, it just creates another problem. Know you have 1 great thing going right now ... 22 days of pure quit. That is huge!!! Fight with everything you have to hold onto that today.
^^^ Derk speaks the truth Monster. Hang in there through the ups and downs. Lots of guys have your back here!
That sucks brother, and I sympathize for you. Two shitty life events. I'm no mathematician, but if I slightly tweak the equation, I still get pretty much the same answer: 2 problems + nicotine = 3 problems.

Pussy quitters/stoppers cave right now with that shit going on. THIS IS NOT YOU. You are a badass, and you stay quit because that's what badass mofo's like yourself do. Here's to hoping the shit works itself out and here's to QLFEDD.
Thank you everyone; truly. It really means a lot to have badasses like you standing behind me for when I feel uneasy. I'm dedicated to my quit and I'm not turning my back on it.
You cant fail with that badass attitude. Stay tuff.........quitn with you.

Again: thanks, y'all. It's just frustrating times for me lately. I'm not going back on my quit, though. No worries there.

MonsterEMT,
Way to hang in there. The stressors you're enduring are tests of your quit, and you have passed every one. Also, remember that dip won't help with any of them. A clear mind free of nic is the only tool you need to deal with these problems. I quit with you today.

Thanks again guys!  I'm not giving up on my quit.  I want to hit 3 weeks...badly.  And I want to hit milestone after milestone without nicotine.

I'm just frustrated with the lady friend and don't see a resolution to that any time soon.
You are doing great EMT but you need to try to slow it down. ODAAT means we only worry about today. Forget about the future milestones. Staying quit today is all that matters.

Worrying about the past and future puts an unnecessary stressor on you that you don't need. Live and quit this moment.

The good thing is that dipping won't resolve your issues with your girl, so you have no reason to not finish this day quit.
Very true. I'm not going back to my old way of life. There's no chance of that.

As I've said: this is a frustrating time for me, but I'm not throwing away 20 days of hard work because I'm going through a tough time.

I've been texting with people and making sure that I stay quit. I quit for today; not for tomorrow.

I'm not focusing on milestones in the future, just making a statement about eventually reaching them. I quit one day at a time just like everyone else here.
