Day 84, I thought it was just a temporary thing but I now realize that the past week has been white knuckle hell!  I'm just hanging on by sheer will and posting roll every day!  Craves and thinking about stopping and buying that can!  What would it hurt?  Would it taste good?  Would the buzz be wonderful after 12 weeks without it?

Fuuuuucccckkkkkk you, you BITCH!

I'm not really going to cave but it would be nice to hear from some people about how long this shitass stretch lasted for them.

Quit again today!

80's funk, very common. Press on brother.

In it with you, quit with you...hang on through it. There is no going back...it will taste like dog shit and the feeling that you let yourself down and those you committed to being quit with down will really f'in SUCK! QLF!!!

All in all i swear it was a couple weeks or more for me. Funky is right, with better and worse times. Somewhat foggy, lots of "fuck it" feelings, and some hard craves that mostly pissed me off. Just hang in there, you have the tools and the support- use them, that's what theyre for. I'm using them lately myself, around day 150. We can all stay clean if we just follow what we're taught and don't get complacent.

keep pushing through, remember what has gotten you this far and keep with it,

you got this.

Well... It would taste like garbage and you would feel like a loser. You would go back to being a slave and no longer be a free man. You would have given up your quit and you would have wasted 84 days of badassery! And you would have gone back on your word.

That sounds crappy to me! You have the strength to get thru this. You have done it 84 days in a row. Pure victory  quit!

"Sheer will  posting roll"... that about sums up my days for the past 275. Some have been easier, some have been crappy.... but in the end it comes down to you AA. You have to own the day  your quit.

I had some funks as well... they will pass. You got to power thru it just like you did in the first 20 days or so. Sheer will and posting roll. That is what it takes.

Quit with you all day long!

That feeling you have is your body throwing a temper tantrum. Just like my kids, it will end.

As they say, "This too shall pass". Not sure when, or how bad it will be, as it's different for everyone. I was completely (and I mean COMPLETELY) worthless for the first 200 days. Couldn't carry on a conversation, couldn't keep a thought, couldn't wipe my ass without poking my fingers through the shit paper.

If you dig deep enough around here, you may even run across the troubles I had with a certain printer...

To the point -

This part sucks. But when you walk through, it is SO much better, and you are SO much stronger against the bitch.

Stay strong.

Stay close to the site.

Stay Quit.

-Nolaq - Day 1,461

This pain is a sign that you are winning! As with the original suck in the first twenty days, Embrace this and try hard to remember the pain. What a great reminder of how bad this shit was for your body and how you never want to go through this again. Quit with you.

Going back to the can will only solve the problems that nicotine created, which defeats the purpose of quitting. So caving is off the table.

Grab your sack and grind this shit out. You been here 84 days, you got the tools in your belt to De-funk.

As others have said, this is normal. Your body/brain is fucking with you again.

You're smarter than that. You know what to do and you will do it.

You got this shit.

Quit on...

This funk was the hardest for me by far. You know what I did? Kept pushing. Post roll and keep your word. Quit for today and break it down to minute by minute if you need too.

You got this, Once this passes things will be much better. Keep doing what you are doing. QLF!

Quitting on down the road!

Day 82 - What a stressful week its been with some interesting things thrown in.  I went to a training class in Golden CO and met some new people there that I went to lunch with.  Walking back from lunch on the first day, one of the guys pulled out some Copenhagen and threw in a dip.  I noticed but didn't say anything until we got back to class and he had spit it out.  I decided to do a little "Testifying" about the merits of KTC and spread the word!  He said he was a 40 year dipper and had stopped for a few months until his wife bought him a can and told him she couldnt take his irritable shit anymore and please start dipping again!  He wasn't interested in hearing the gospel.

What was interesting was that the other guy is stopped for 5 months now cold turkey without the benefit of KTC!  I actually had some great conversations with him about how he did it and how his "quit" was going.  I use parentheses because he's one of those rare people who periodically "quits" for several months and then goes back to dipping so he says "quit" but he is really just stopping for a little while.  I'm confident that he will cave again but at least this time he knows about KTC and can look it up when he gets serious.

Basically it just reinforced to me that KTC posting roll and reading on here is how I do this QUIT for 82 days and for TODAY!  Good learnings this week about my resolve and understanding that I have to do this for myself.

"Today has just been one crave after another! As soon as I get out of one for a few minutes the next one starts creeping in! They move on fast but keep coming. I am not liking this at all."

This was you on day 7.

I just re-read your most recent post about KTC preaching, then re-read your day-7 crave dealings. Quite a remarkable difference if you ask me. First one is a badass in the making and the second one is a badass quitter kickin' some quit knowledge around to some non-badass stoppers.

Great work AA, I like seeing fellow quitters that involve more than just KTC and family members in there quit. Let it be known, We Quit Like Fuck By way of KTC.
Excellent job AA
