6 Days and Still Clean.....

[B-loMatt]

I just wanted to say quit on. Horses are awesome, and so is choosing to quit using nicotine! Keep calm and quit on!

My new friend Todd and I have been communicating today. He quit the same day that I did. I spent the whole day with my family at the Louisville Zoo. It was great !! Early this morning on my 7th day of being nicotine free, I wandered into the HOF gift shop and started shopping for my 100 day trophy. I saw a beautiful gold coin that was able to have an inscription on the back. I proudly put my quit day, hof day and placed it firmly in my cart ready for check out. Just before I was going to enter my credit card information the nicotine bitch blindsided me with a kick to the scrotum, upper cut to the jaw, a choking headlock that left me paralyzed and a terrible rememberance of why I ever started this awful habit in the first place. Now I understand that I am not out of the woods or even close to it. Quit ON my brothers.......................................

Those are the moments to really relish. Because those are the ones that you invited into your life through your addiction. I'm not the smartest guy on this website by a long shot, but until I quit, I had no idea what I was doing to my body. Low oxygen? Yep, had that. High blood pressure? Yep, had that too.

The fog - the irritability. Moments (like you describe) of almost crippling craves. Had all of that.

Now, stop for just a minute and think about this... You are experiencing all of this because of some shredded plant in a little round plastic can. And you spit out how much money over how many years?

This quit will change your life. Keep pushing ahead. And keep posting the bad times and the good.

Glad to hear you are doing good in your quit. Keep it up.

Let me just add that I love the multiple references to your "Russian wife." Cracks me up. If she's not a mail-order bride, you sure make her sound like one.

Anyway, my Armenian wife and I are having a pretty nice weekend. My Russian/Croatian self is NOT looking forward to Monday. Stay quit brother.

Thanks Guys ! Yes, one week has passed and I am still in one piece. It looks like the little horse farm is going to work for us. I'm Quit With You !!!

[worktowin]

Wow that's awesome news const! Hope things come together so you can get that horse farm!!

One week today! Keep pushing, keep fighting.

This week at work I was presented with dozens of problems. About a third of them, after careful thought, I pushed to the side. I said to one of my employees "yep, this is a problem, but we can't win them all. We have to pick the battles to fight that we can win ."

This battle is worth winning.

And the money you'll save will make feeding the horses a little less painful too.

Wow that's awesome news const! Hope things come together so you can get that horse farm!!

Glad to report that I am having a great nicotine free weekend. Will try to purchase a small horse farm that my Russian wife, seven year old daughter and myself will enjoy forever. Life is great without spitting and bloody gums.....

Glad you're here man!

Hello All, Today is the start of 6 days being clean. I found this site last night and have already experienced some very warm and caring people here.
I posted last night about my Russian Wife helping me to pour four cans of Grizzly Straight right into the toilet. She is the same women that reluctantly bought me "sleeves" of Grizzly when I was filling my truck with diesel. With tears in her eyes, she said "I am so proud of you......"
This has brought me to day 6 and I can feel some momentum starting to build.

Glad to have you construction man. 6 days is huge my friend. Congratulations.

Although hard, the sense of accomplishment and pride from succeeding at beating this demon every day is almost impossible to describe. This addiction is strong. It takes strength, character, and the ability to know when you need help and ask for it... In order to succeed.

You're 6 days in. You have strength. Your name is on the November list. You have character. You are using this site to "Put yourself out there" and build some contacts. The guys below are hardcore quitters. You will have more reach out - get to know them and read their stories as well. Our stories are all different, but they are really very similar at the core.

Today I'm quit with you. And so are these other bad ass quitters. Welcome aboard!

I see you posted roll,, excellent. Guess what you just did brother? You just made this quit so much easier. You posted roll which means you gave yourself, your wife and every other person in the world your word that you will not give in today. That takes all the guessing out of it. No doors are opened anymore. That's quitting my friend. Good job!!!

Nice job brother! Posted roll 2x today, so I can tell your serious about being quit today. Day 6 is some serious quittin. Be ready to battle this weekend. Have your quit tools ready (fake, gum, candy, seeds, etc)  stay close to the site. Limit any booze intake. Keep the mind clear and focused on quitting. This is your top priority this saturday! Reach out early if you start to waiver. Don't wait until you are in extremis! Stay on it  stay quit!

It was good talking with you last night. Shoot me a message if you need anything. Have a good day being quit. It will get easier every day.
