DAY 245 (8 months)

My quit is going great--actually had some craves yesterday for the first time in a long while.

I just wanted to post up and share my thoughts about my life journey and my QUIT. 2011 was a BIG year for me. This year I ran my first marathon, finished losing 65 lbs (actually that took two years), discarded bad ideas and quit the NIC demon. I have learned that if you want to accomplish anything (ANYTHING!) --you just DO IT. You just do it and you do it one day at a time! Take that step each day and don't make any excuses to fail. Man UP!

Of course I consider being QUIT my best acheivement in life and always will be. These last 245 days have been tough and have also been the most rewarding days of my life. I have found strength and wisdom that I did not know existed.

If you are lurking on this site and thinking about quitting---Just Do It! It is possible to be QUIT and I am living proof.

Day 200!


Today I will spend time reflecting on my journey and be proud of myself. I am proud of my 200 days of freedom--this is a great milestone.

Although 200 days is great, I am more proud of my 800 posts on this site! One of the keys to staying quit and keeping a strong quit is to stay involved and pay it forward. That is what I intend to do!


I would like to challenge post HOF quitters with a few questions:

What is your days quit/ number of posts ratio?

Have you given a HOF speech?

Have you helped others?

Get involved--the newbs need you just like you needed someone...
Congrats on the second floor!

To answer your questions...

145/760...that works out to something like 5.24 posts per day.

Yes, I've given an HOF speech...it was inspirational. B)

I don't know if I've helped others, but there are quite a few who I bother on a regular basis.

Day 184 --That's six months free after 18years of nicotine addiction!!!!

I want to tell the newbs that this is very possible and each day gets way better.

Here's the key, YOUR QUIT has to be your number one priority. Nothing comes before YOUR QUIT------nothing. The correct attitude:------I will Quit no matter what happens!!!!

Adopt this attitude TODAY and you will make it TODAY. Each TODAY builds a better tomorrow.

Day 170

Doing well. I have slept good for well over 60 days now. I am still having rough patches--extended craves occassionally and funky days (some times several in a row), but for the most part I have good days. The good "normal" days are exceeding the bad!

I just wanted to share some thoughts today. To me there are two parts to this nicotine withdrawal process.

The first part is the realization that we are addicts. We must realize and accept this. When it comes to nicotine we will always be addicts. That, however, is not a bad realization---all it means is that we can never just have one. It does not mean that we will always be thinking or craving nicotine, it just means we can never use again. The Law: Never ONCE!

The second part is recovery. Recovery (to me) is a process not an event. The vets on this site have finished and shut the door on recovery;however, the rest of us are still wading through this process. Recovey is different for every person, but we all share certain parts (maybe at different times) of the process.
LOOT's LAW--Don't forget the worst part of recovery--DAY ONE

Recovery:

If you are anxious and depressed--that is normal and for most it will be temporary (probably for 99%)

If you can't sleep--that is normal---for most sleep will be resolved and be restored--some have sleep issues early--some later in the recovery.

If you crave--that is normal--craving will become less and less

If you are angry--that is normal-- anger will subside as you move further from the bitch

If your mouth hurts --that is normal--- your mouth is healing itself

If you can't concentrate--that is normal-- it will return.

ETC ETC

For all you newbies--RECOVERY is a process that you will eventually be able to shut the door on. You need two things---change of mind and faith in the process that the body/mind will bring itself back into balance. It will bring BALANCE. You just need TIME!
The jury is out and the verdict is that you are a bad ass quitter and supporter of other quitters...well done! And great comments right there. So true. My sleep issues were driving me insane but like you said, it got better. My inability to concentrate was putting me way behind at work but like you said, it got better. Good points and advice for new quitters you have there.
