Day 1

[Athan]

Day 48, made it through a tough weekend for me.. Down to the last little bits of this medication for the strep.. it has not agreed with me in the slightest..

Also, getting over a knee injury which has kept me from doing any real physical activity for 2 weeks.. That's been no good for me.. exercise is my outlet, and in retrospect, I don't know how I made it. I really have to attribute it to this place and the promise I'm making every single day. It works if you're a man or lady of your word

I think about 2 more days and the knee will be good to go..

Sent you my digits. With you on the workout. Boredom is a killer and reason #3,247 of why I chewed for so long. Gimme a holler brother, look forward to seeing you post roll.

Figured I'd post this here as well as my quit group. Got diagnosed with strep earlier this week and have had knee problems for the past 2 weeks, so the doc prescribed an antibiotic and steroid (for the inflammation in my knees mostly).

Well, I'm not happy with this steroid that I'm on. I am an anxious mess. Had extended family come in to town today which was expected, BUT I was not expecting them to bring their prissy dog with them. I have a beagle who can't keep his mouth closed on a good day. Add in a dog who doesn't want to play, and it is just unbearable. You can hear him a half a mile away.

So, I managed to escape to work.. yeah I know, but it was either that or start yelling at people and animals..

Basically, I post this here to remind myself that we all have good days, and we all have bad days. This has not been a good day for me so far.. but I'm QUIT, and I'll be damned if I let loud dogs and anxiety due to medication get me to pick up a tin of death.

Day 46 QLF

So I'm at day 23 and days are a lot better than they were. I still struggle some at night with cravings. I'm not using nearly as many seeds but still working on them.

It's the random cravings that hit you smack in the face that are the most frustrating. I did an activity today that I never actually dipped during but dipped immediately before and after said activity (no not sex, but yeah probably that too)...

Anyway, I'm working on this thing and can't take my mind off of it so I put on some music and just started jamming out.. got some funny looks but, I'm quit dammit..

Like I said, most days are pretty easy since about day 10.. I feel like I'm rambling at this point.. IQWYT

Keep doing what you are, one day at a time!!

Enjoy the good days!! Keep posting in here, it will be handy to look back and see how far you've come.

Day 3. Had some whiskey last night. Bad idea. I was fine while drinking but the mild hangover (didnÂ’t drink that much) on top of the fog was a bad combo. Think IÂ’m going no alcohol for a few weeks.

Got to take out some of my frustration in the gym though. Feeling better right now. Actually this is probably the best IÂ’ve felt. Long night ahead but IÂ’ve got seeds galore and close to 10 digits to reach out to.

Yeah man the booze early in the quit is a recipe for disaster. Good move. - give it up for a while.

Never a bad idea to drink less anyway. No nic... less booz.. maybe I won't gain 20 pounds........ (I can hope, can't I?!!!??)

I gained, for sure. But after the substitutions for dip wore off (mine were Klondike bars, cookies, candybars, ice cream...), I concentrated on drinking a ton of water.. giving up any sugary drinks, it came off.

Who cares if you gain a few pounds now, you can always lose it later, when you are more stable and thinking more clearly. What you CANT do is grow a new lower lip :)

Keep on quittin on

Got the seeds handy. Beef jerky is expensive as shit now. What the hell?

May get some hard candy and gum... I rolled up a damn tea bag earlier...

Sorry for the cussing... or not.. I don't know

Hey bud remember youÂ’re not alone! You have 30,000 plus on your side. Reach out if it gets tough, we all have. No shame in that, thatÂ’s why weÂ’re all here

Thanks. Just stuck at a computer wasting time.. waiting on something to finish up so I can move on to the next step...

You can say fuck here, it's ok. You get the honor of my 7,000 post as well, so I quit with you today!

Day 3 and 72 hours: That is the point the physical traces of nicotine are clear of your system. After that, it's the mind fuck the nic bitch uses to lure you back. She is nothing without you. Think of it, she sits in a closed can, no one touches her, feels her rush, her calm, nothing. She is a prisoner in her own cell. You have the key to leave her confined or to release her. What if she were seen as she truly is, a mass murderer? Would you open her cage then? Fuck no you wouldn't! So don't let her convince you she is something she is not. Leave the bitch in her place and move forward with your quit and your life.
