Nebraska hope you have a good weekend. You have my number. The site can get a little slow on the weekend so if you hit a wall and not enough to keep you busy here you callme. Erussell is quit with you man.

some ups and downs, edrussell, chukar.  I appreciate the heads up. I am not looking past today.
72 you know what that means? Go outside and take a good look around. I mean a good look! You are now looking at the world without nicotine clouding your mind. No more nicotine running through your blood. Now you are seeying the world the way it was intended. The first time I realized that i shed a tear.

Quit on my friend. Glad to be quit with you.
That's right Srans. The most amazing part for me so far was to realize how things are so different without the nic in my system. Nebraskadad keep keeping your daily promise you are getting there man. And so many of us are truly hopping to see you make it it would crush the world if you cave. More than your atmosphere depends on your quit. I quit with you today brother.
Wife said she was optimistically pessimistic last night.

I am still getting a periodic mother of a SUCK will abate with something oral.

need to get to work but figured i'd check in with you all.
Rock it ND! You are doing great. Keep up the good work through the weekend. Just think of how proud you are when you wake up in the morning and another day of quit is behind you.

Has she read the spouse page ? Try to get her on the site and navigate thru the stories. Either way, you are quit for yourself. I stand proudly with you.
Weekend is here, have a plan for any craves. Have your #'s close by just in case.
Stay strong.

nebraskadad58, continue being optimistically persistant in your Quit and show her you mean business this time. My wife continued to roll her eyes during my early Quit based on my previous Quits. We have finally reached a point where she actually listens when I relate mine and others Quit stories!
It is definitely worth the effort to get beyond the addiction symptoms and finally live without the slavery of the can. You can do this this one day at a time!
Quit today all day long!!!

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.

Nebraskadad

Just a quick note to say "stay solid." You are going to get a lot of advise on this site. One of the things that almost tripped me up was people telling me that the physical part of it was over after a week. I want you to know that I have not found that to be true -- I'm on day 86 and I still get physical symptoms -- imagined or otherwise. I would get very angry early on in my quit because my quit didn't fit the mold and for a time paranoia set in and I was convinced people were just telling me shit to keep me quit for the day. I've come to realize evry quit is different, but the benefits are bitchin!

I want you to know that even though it's a tough road, it's a great road. Like all things worthwhile, there is a price to be paid and the greater the reward the greater the price. The price will be great, but there is no substitue for freedom! If necessary, I will deal with the cravings and the occasional crazy spells because I have tasted freedom and nothing is worth going back to Nicotine State Penitentiary!

Sleep was OK. until 430, the dog starting whining and had to go out and take a dump from the trash can he had dumped and ate last night.  :angry: didn't really get back to sleep.

65 hours in. I will check back  in later after some errands.
Well done!!! But 65 hours, 65 days, 65 years...none of that matters. The ONLY thing that matters is today, right now. You're living free. Don't look back, don't look ahead. Just focus on today.

YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
