It is week 4 and I continue to notice differences without the nicotine in my life.  The way things look, feel, and taste are the big ones.  So far it has been so worth it to quit.  Really I can't think of one good reason to not have quit.  I know the battle is still going on daily.  I can't tell you how good it would feel to look back on one whole day and realize I didn't think of the stuff hardly.  Last word:  I took a smell of some grizzly the other day,  it actually stunk to me.  I actually remembered smelling that smell 25 plus years ago.  I can't remember a lot of things 25 years ago,  but that one I remembered.  Today I QLF!

Glad it was just a smell but be careful,this is a slippery slope.

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.

Importance of posting. Yesterday I had the hardest test yet and came really close to a serious cave. Fishing with some friends and one whips out a cigar. At first this was no big deal,,,, it's not dip, right?? Well a couple minutes goes by and I get a smell or two come across the nose. Then out of no where, my friend asks if I want one, and he knows I quit just three weeks ago. He tells me that cigars are not the same as smoking or dipping. Wow the nic bitch is working hard. I say no and then out of no where I remember that I never posted that morning. I made no promise for the day yet. I could go on and on with the thoughts that went through my mind, but I did not cave. I know how important it is to post early now,,, I came so close to blowing it yesterday,,, but I didn't. Take that nic bitch.
'worship' 'worship' 'worship'

Out-fucking-standing....and that temptation is EXACTLY what I was talking about....she is patient and clever and always lurking my friend.....and there will be more tests, believe me....

Nice work

Day 15. I can't believe that bitch (nic bitch) held me captive for 25 years. She was cunning, manipulative and very well funded. Looking at it all now, 15 days after my quit, I just can't believe I didn't see this earlier in my life. How stupid am I? Well I can't continue to look backwards. It's time to go forward QLF.
Well said! We all feel like idiots when the lightbulb comes on concerning our addictions. We realize how much a dumbass slave we were and didn't see it.
But focus on today, you are quit and you will remain quit. All those addict behaviors are falling away. You really are a new man. Own it, revel in it.
Fish, eat, sleep. Repeat.

I'm going fishing today.  I love fishing but there is a problem with todays trip.  As far as I have ever known, fishing and dipping were the same thing.  Is it possible to fish without a can in my back pocket?  I don't know if I can cast as good without some dirt in my lip.  I said all that,  but I know that today is going to be the best fishing trip I've been on in a while, even if not one fish is caught.  I guess you can say a new hobbie is starting today.  I bet I take a look around and notice a lot more than I've noticed in a while.  By the way It's a wonderful 78 degrees in Florida right now.  No wind or rain expected.  The sun is just gorgeous.
I was once in your position. Thinking it wasn't possible. Rest assured fishing and dipping are completely different animals.

One of them will add years to your life.

One of them will take away years.

One of them is an addiction, one a passion.


Set your mind straight before you go. Not only is it possible, you will do it. You've posted roll I assume and there is no question you will honor your promise.

Report back and let me know what the catch of the day was!
We all had those situations. Mine was hunting.... and fishing..... and driving...... and anything involving a tractor. :(

Anyway, you've got a great outlook on it. Enjoy the EXPERIENCE of the activity now that it's not overshadowed by a cloud of death.

Shoot me a PM and let me know what part of Florida you inhabit. If it's anywhere in the northern part, we might not be far apart. I'm thinking at 78, you must be in the lower half, but thought I'd ask anyway.

A couple of days ago i walked outside and looked around.  Call me crazy but  everything looked different.  It was day 4 of my quit and i noticed everything had a little more life to it.  Hard to explain.  I do know one thing.  I was looking at the world for the first time in over 25 years without nicotine running through my veins.  I had a moment of thought and couldn't hold back every tear.  Its worth it.
