Day 46 and still pushing through cravings, and anxiety. Also my old buddy depression stopped by yesterday for a little bit. All this comes in waves. Pretty fitting that my photo is a wave...Anyway, still checking in on this intro and how far I have come. I have a ton of digits and talk with a few brothers daily. The accountability from vets and newbs is worth it's weight in gold.

Find someone, share digits, reach out and be accountable with someone on this journey, TRUST ME IT HELPS. I know it can be tough, hell, it was tough for me!

Proud as hell to be quit with the guys in RAWKtober 2018 and everyone else who is here to stay quit.

Day 29....this has been a hell of a journey so far. I have intentionally not returned to this particular thread. I wanted to come back and see where I was at early on. Tons of progress, but I still have shaky legs like a newborn giraffe from time to time...I would be lying if I said otherwise. I have been tested several times since I quit. I'll be back every now and then to check on myself here....where I am currently and where I started. OODAT!!

I'm pushing through it. It ain't easy. Grab some fake snuff. It does help. I like Smokey Mountain...Hooch is too rough on my gums....I know...how fucking ironic is that? If you every need to chat let me know man.

I know exactly what you mean! Week 1 I was an emotional wreck. I felt like I constantly had to talk myself off the ledge and remind myself that nothing was as bad as it seemed, and that the nicotine monsters was trying to ruin my life still. Around day 7 it got better, and I had some revelations that helped calm me down quite a bit.

Hang tough. Im only on day 9, but I already feel better!

Today was tough...I just need to vent a little...
Our neighbors dogs are barking incessantly. The dogs barking is waking up our kid and my wife wants to go over there and talk to them. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal. Right now, I don't think I could go over there and talk to them about it without sounding like a complete asshole after the long day thay I have had. Luckily they aren't home. Retraining your brain/emotions without nicotine is intense. I don't or haven't felt any rage...I just know my limits and don't want to damage any neighborly relationships due to something so trivial. I'm a little on edge at the moment. I know that my tone wouldn't be the best right now. Thanks for listening.

Glad you guys are quitting. Very nice to read how you are buying in to KTC. It works!!! I have been quit for 1,706 days after 23+ years of nicotine addiction thanks to the brotherhood and support found here. This is definitely the best thing you can do for yourself.

Congratulations on Day 4, croack! It may help you to know that as of yesterday, all nicotine has left your body. Moving forward your body and brain will be repairing itself. Be patient with the process and be confident that it will work. I will add one correction to your original post. It is something most of us at KTC are sensitive to and that is for 21 years you have been battling an addiction to one of the most addictive substances known the man. You did not have a habit. It sounds like a trivial thing - but it is imperative you understand the difference.

Read everything you can about this addiction. There are great articles in the Facts  Figures section of the site. There are some good posts in Words of Wisdom. And go get those digits from your fellow October brothers!

Day 2. I gave 21 years to that stupid habit. I have a family that loves and depends on me. This is my pledge to them that I will stay quit. That is all I have for now. Still in a haze it and really irritable.
Coming up on Day 2 for me too. I quit with you croakenhagen. I was 20 years and change. But now I quit with you. Period.
Thanks man! Day 3 is today. 'bang head' it'll be better soon. Hang in there buddy.
Day 2 myself. Thanks for both posting. Learning the ropes of the site, but hope to continue to see everyone here.
Nice BBQchips. Congrats on day 2! I'm still learning the site and reading more, too. Last night I was able to read and chat which took my mind off of dipping. Hope I can do the same this evening.
