Day 40-45- This log is intended to help me reflect on how far my will take me. I want to look back and see how far I have come and i will not forget the quit,.....The crave was pretty bad for the day mentioned .. but with the help of aall my brothers here I won each battle. Ginet comes out of the blue and knows when to touch base. Jbrad is the same way and I thank them . Others will text support at just the right time ( I only have numbers but no names) But I know it my brothers out there in the darkness4r reaching out. Yesterday was a challenge sitting on interstate for hours outside of Cincinnati . But heading to the Creation Museum today, Tubing tonight at perfect north,then Newport Aquarium tomorrow with the family... These are better days to be alive with out nicotine. ODAAT NAFAR brothers. Its worth it guys, its worth it..

These are the posts I really like to read. A week or two ago you were all screwed up. Acting like the world had come to an end as you new it.

Now your moving to the top of the world. Having a good time with the family and owning this quit. Your going to have some ups and downs, but as your finding the ups are worth going through the downs.

Keep doing what your doing em. Things will get better and better. Proud to be quit with you.

Thanks SRANS ! It looks like the clouds are beginning to lift a bit. Thank for your support throughout. WHo knew how big this nicotine whore was... I know the people like you knew how big she is and I appreciate you and the others sticking around to help others.

I like it. You're owning your quit like a bad ass!

EM, don't run away from the site when you hit a funk 'finger point'

Thats when you NEED to be here.

If your going thru it I guarantee 1/2 a dozen guys in your group are going thru the same thing. It helps to post up about it. Sometimes knowing others are feeling as shitty as you actually helps.

At day 30 some punk kid lurched his car at me in a crosswalk just to be a douche. I followed him into his place of employment and almost yanked him over the counter.

I also once got out of my car, blocking traffic, to tell a woman what I thought of her, her car, her ancestors, and her haircut because she honked at me.....twice. 'Crazy'

I know of another quitter who threw a trash can at one of his employee's.

The rage is literally a chemical response triggered by the quit. You need to pay attention to it and figure out a release for it. In my experience it will go away as your brain chemistry gets back to normal.

Get back on the bus gus , lets get this done.

Good words from Sm. 30 to 40 was no joke. The emotional roller coaster is very taxing to say the least. Its hard to see the forest through the trees. Your making your way to that door my friend. Keep pressing forward. Its all going to start making sense and look more clear once you get through that door.

Day 35-40 : They were a different sort of days, filled with a continuing funk of sorts. The crave was almost constant and I could tell that rage was just beneath the surface ready to spring at the first sign of any belligerent statement, action or implied statement or action. What I have learned from this: I worked on my patience with other people , family most of all. I have learned that even though I feel rage inside... the real situation that the rest of the world sees ... does not necessarily call for being an ASS, even if your mind is screaming that you must be an ASS to fix the stupid... thus the age old saying was able to take root and I am able to walk away from situations again because we all know that you cant fix stupid ... not even rage can fix it.. its just a waste of energy and is a part of the evil one. so I learned to let it go..

Day 31- lot of rage.

Day 36- I did not post for several days and was absent from the sight except for posting roll. Reasoning, I identified that I had went into an unknown "Funk" is what I call it. The Vets may recognize it and may have another name or not.. But I can only describe it as an intense rage, stronger than any i have experienced with having quit. This was accompanied by a strong crave. It was like the crave fed off the rage and vise verse. I decided to stay away from people for a while because the crave and rage was only making me look for a fight. The crave is still strong today as it has been for the last 5 or 6 days. the rage has subsided a bit, but still there. If any of you Vets read this and if it sounds familiar please sound off. I have been trying to exercise and drink water but I just want to eat everything in sight. I did visit the chat last night and the mindless banter seemed to help.

Some call that the "Fuck its" where you have those days where nothing matters, you are surrounded by assholes and morons and they can all just fuck off.

Glad you made it through, it will come again. The best thing is to want to quit, once you have that no urge, crave or rage can bring you back to finger banging a tin.

glad to see you back as well. I too had my toughest time in the day 30 range, not with the raging, but with more of what Pinched quotes as the "Fuck-its".

its that roller coaster, and is normal. Best thing is there should not be too many more days that low and you should be on the way up.

just keep giving and honoring your word and you will break through...

well done.

Hey Em,
Funk is gonna come around. Just don't lose focus on what you are after while waiting for that funky fog to lift again. You are going to deal with today, and soon enough it will be gone. It will be history, and another day down and nic free.

So, when that fog lifts, you will see me still there....three days out on the path we are taking......I cant let you catch me buddy but I can sure as hell make sure you are still in the same spot on my rearview as we crush this shit.

Quit on Em....and you have my number when you are getting pissy. I am a pistol. I can take it.

I'm not a vet. I'm on the same quit day as you are, but I know the "funk" you are talking about. It's a bit better today, but the last two days were hell.

I replied via email to an insurance agent yesterday exactly what I thought about him. That spurred a call from the owner of the agency today..... LOL
