Day 171.  Seriously,,  did I just say day 171.  Wow!!  I still can't believe it sometimes when I see the number of days i'm stacking.  On February 14th I had just had a rough week.  I was on my third day of allowing myself 2 dips a day and that was about to end.  I logged on to find a magic cure.  A cure that would alleviate the withdraws I was going through everyday.  After all, I worked hard that week and I wasn't going to go through the weekend feeling like I just did for the last three days.  It was time to relax. 

Me and the poison were about to get it on during the weekend.  Screw the 2 dips a day.  I was hating life.  I was either going to find a magic cure or dip like an addict that hadn't had his proper fix all week.   

When I found ktc and started to read I found out how quitting is done.  You trash your stash, post roll, and keep your word.  Wake up everyday and do the same exact thing.  I had no idea that as soon as you trash your stash your free.  As soon as you post roll freedom is yours.  No more do you belong to the poison.  Day 1 or 171, we are free ladies and gents.  No more slavery to a weed.  Sure It was rough at first, but freedom is worth the withdraws.  We are worth everything we have to go through to beat this addiction.  We were not meant to be lead around by a can of poison.  If you haven't quit,,  Do it,, you won't be sorry!  Sunday is such a good day to be free.  Why??  Because it's TODAY!!!
couldn't agree with you more.. Congrats on your freedom! The best way to enjoy it is one day at a time.. quit with you today.. peace
Freedom from an evil nasty weed is worth every bit of fight! I just got fired up for my quit today! Good stuff.

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 163.

I'm loving my new life.  To all that are taking it one day at a time and heading for that first 100.  No this,,  it is so worth it!  At day 163 things have really taken a change for me.  There is so many things different without the poison in my life. 

My job has it's moments.  My job can go from everything being great to real bad in an instant.  Monday something happened which took all day to clean up.  It was a very stressful situation.  I handled it better than ever.  The problem arose and the outcome was far from reach. 

I handled it better than ever.  I made calls and made things happen.  At he end of the day when things were said and done I was amazed.  164 days ago I would have handled it, but my stress level would have been ridiculous.  I'm glad this didn't happen early in my quit because my anxiety would have went through the roof. 

It is one thing for people to tell you that 1 problem + nicotine = 2 problem.  It is another to start getting the benefits of not having the second problem. 

As the days keep going up things keep getting better and better. 

Stay quit,, you won't be sorry!!!
BOOM. You got it SRANS. Not having the 2nd problem is a gift. Enjoy the fruits of your labor buddy, it was a bitch to get here, but you did it.
nice SRANS yep shits much easier only having one problem to deal with well said. Enjoy today go get a run in and bounce your sweaty nic free nuts around!
Thanks for the post. You have been a huge motivator for me in my quit and I am glad you are reaping some rewards! Funny how I had a rough week at work. Only 35 days quit, but what I found was that not having to find a time to sneak a dip literally eliminated 1 of my problems. I was able to focus on the issue at hand and devote some time to solving it to the best of my abilities. The issue got resolved and now I can focus on the weekend and staying quit. Proud to be quit with you brother!

Day +1

I often think of something I seen early in my quit.  It's a short story, but it really is something that stuck with me after I seen it.  I believe it will help everyone's quit today that reads it.

I had just got done watching my girls volleyball game.  Real good game.  Went the distance, which took about 2 hours, or maybe more.  I was real early in my quit and having a rough time with craves and everything else we have to deal with early in our quits.   

As I walked out I was in back of an elderly couple (70's, possibibly 80's).  I hear them bickering back and forth and then I couldn't believe what I heard.  The woman stated you'll be to the truck fast enough so you can get your dip.  Then I heard the elderly man state I sat there for over two hours,,,  I need a dip.

I began to wonder who he was watching at the game.  Possibly his grand-daughter would be my best guess.  Then I thought.  what lucky grand-daughter had this man as her grand-dad.  I wondered how much of the game he enjoyed before the poison got his attention off of it and his granddaughter.  It was apparent that at the end of the game he didn't care what the score was, how good his grand-daughter played.  He apparently didn't care if his wife enjoyed the game.  He didn't care about anything or anyone at the moment.  He only cared about on thing.  His one true love,,  the POISON.  HOW SAD!!!   Lets stay quit today.  Lets enjoy life and what it has to offer.  Screw the poison!!!!
Good read for me this morning. I haven't had too hard of a time lately but today has started out rough. I feel like I'm back at day one suddenly! I have and know my tools, so I am much better equipped then I was on day one, But it's good to reflect on what we went through in the beginning, I think I'm entering the Funk I've been warned about!
Good read SRANS, I can remember my sons in full jabber in the back seat of my truck talking to me and I had checked out waiting for the poison to hit my veins n I could get my cells to stop screaming at me to poison up before we really start screaming. New found freedom rocks one less damn thing to round up in the morning when I am racing out the door....or if I was hiding it in my truck to get my am fix....less forgetful of shit I need for the day.
'Finger' the Poison and the People who promote it!!!

:rolleyes: Life is where its at.

Post roll early, keep your word, wake and repeat....simple yet profound.

Lay off or better yet, quit the booze for good...Life is where its at.

Cheers Srans. Thank you for sharing. :)
I can reflect back on so many things I didn't enjoy due to the nagging bitch. Thanks for posting this, today i will embellish in joy that I don't have to hide it on the plane ride back home and gut it or crave my ass off cause I'm following the stewardess's rules and not dipping. Srans..... Perfect!
