Day 300.

Some words of advice to the folks that have recently hit the HOF or anyone else who thinks they are "cured" and are thinking about walking away from this site.

Don't do it. Do you think the cravings go away at day 300? Nope. I still get them. It's normally not hard to get through a day like it was at the beginning, but even 300 days later, I can tell my brain isn't done being rewired yet after 22 years of feeding it nicotine. Stay close to the site, post roll every day. It's not hard to take a few min to take it off the table for the day and promise the other bad ass quitters here you won't use. So do it.

Thanks to my fellow quitters in the BOQ that are still making that promise with me every day.

Day 200.

That 2nd 100 went a hell of a lot faster than the first. Maybe I'm just getting old. 'no'

Thanks to everyone in the July '12 group who has stuck it out with me and everyone else who supports us.

I quit with each and every one of you today.

Keeps getting better. :)

If any new quitters are reading this, take note. This is the snowball effect. The longer you stay quit the larger that snowball becomes. Days fly by quicker. You aquire more tools for your toolbox. You develop and fine tune your coping skills. Once an addict always an addict, but, you can become a quitting machine. A machine the nic bitch can not beat if you so choose.

Job well done!

Welcome to the second floor bud.

So I went to the doctor today because I've had a couple of issues in my throat region so I wanted to have it checked out for cancer.  :o

Doc feels up my face and neck and looks down my throat (did I mention how much I hate the feeling of tongue depressors) and says everything looks fine.

Good to have that weight lifted off my shouders. But the real treat is how after I got a clean bill of health, the first thought that pops into my head is "I want a dip"

I hate you nic bitch! 145 days and the thought still pops in now and again. Ugh. All you idiots that think you are cured and don't need this site? What happens the next time that thought pops into your head and you haven't posted roll or been on the site and lost track of your support network?


Glad to be quit with all you badasses today.

Hopefully that thought will continually get less frequent? Yesterday Morgan1 gave me some good advice.. when a crave like that happens.. Crave more life - not more dip! Today WE ARE VICTORIOUS!!!! It is awesome going into a fight and you know you've already won! You've won now for 145/146 days.. what's another day? VICTORY!!! that's what it is! VICTORY!!! Hold that's bitch's head high! You've cut it off again so Show it to us all one more day! We all may be bruised, bloody,  battle scarred? That's what makes us who we are! Some fighting sumbitches! Hell Yeah! Give me a little more of that QUIT bro.. Gooch

Glad to hear that everything came out good. I had a couple sores in my mouth that scared the shit out of me as well since I quit. Nice job on the 145 also!!!

I feel ya Kubrick. I have my highest guard up against any kind of doctor/dentist/any type of appointment where I could get a good result, Because every time that little bitch slips right in and says "see your all good, let's celebrate".

I fucking HATE IT, and HATE HER. I know that is never going to go away and I have to keep that guard as high as it is now, forever

Glad I'm not alone in those fears, after 116 days, I keep thinking wtf! Even woke up the other day from a dream where I had cancer on my gums..... 'bang head' hate what the bitch did to me.

of course it could be that it isnt the funk at all and your just realizing that you like lumberjacks and firemen instead of dancing girls, and thats scary enough to put a damper on anybodys day.   ;)

I don't think my nicotine addled brain is getting that big of a rewiring!

Nope, just checked and I still love the 'boob'

Me either I still love your ass (your avatars ass)! DAG's the one that likes your ass!

I dunno Kubrick ...... I'm watching you :ph43r:

may have to be put under homosuspicion, just to be safe

Maybe it's SM that likes the 'fireman' since he's watching you Kubrick. He's :ph43r: in the bushes outside your window, watching you 'flush' . :huh:

Motivation.

I can't seem to find any at the moment. I guess this could be the 125 funk that loot mentioned, but it doesn't really feel like previous funks.

I have had zero motivation to really do anything else on the site except post roll lately. I still keep the July Sheet because it's my obligation, but not really feeling like it.

I used to be pretty active in the intro section and looking to help newbies, but it's like I lost the desire to do that lately. I just post roll and leave the site for the day.

Is this normal? Does the motivation to help others come and go in waves? I'm not going to stop posting roll or anything, but I feel like crap that I'm not reaching out to new quitters like I used to, yet I still don't feel like it.

Horseshit...you just find enough to get through today. We will deal with tomorrow when it gets here. You helped a shitload of us when we first started, and we look up to your ass.

When I have a bad moment, I go looking for you and TK's fucking avatar. Peaks my interest enough to get through the moment. Will PM my shit now, let me know if I can do ANTHING to help motivate you. Flow goes both ways brother, let us help you now.......

The funk now is one of the toughest its starts with some complacency and will seriously test your resolve and determination!

Keep posting and keeping the spreadsheet and stay quit!

By just doing those things you will keep your word and shortly this will pass and you will truly start to enjoy some great freedom!

I completely understand the notion of just posting and leaving for the day I usually do that on the weekends, realize this you have and are still changing how you have done everything and there does come a time where you just want to ....be left alone and not think about this site, the struggle, or anything to do with this site!


This site is awesome and fantastic but can wear on quiters from time to time, so if you need to post and go for awhile dont fret, just keep your promise and all is well!

PM me if you need anything brother!

Kubrick, it's like surfing. sometimes your riding the waves hanging ten, sometimes your getting bounced along the coral on your head, and other times the sea is calm and flat . My post Hof funk was worse than anything prior. I found that going back to the basics pulled me out. I made myself exercise, I got busy, started some projects, made some goals and pursued them. I got small. I took care of my quit, and let others handle theirs. I needed to cement the foundation the first hundred days gave me. Do something new, step out of your box. Move forward, and just quit one day at a time.

After all, 125 days is 4 months of quit, thats fucking huge, BUT in the grand scheme of things it's still a pebble in the ocean.

of course it could be that it isnt the funk at all and your just realizing that you like lumberjacks and firemen instead of dancing girls, and thats scary enough to put a damper on anybodys day. ;)
