Day 70

Today I want to pause and give some thanks. Some will read this and know that you have helped my quit. Your correction, your encouragement and your humor have been anchor points in my journey of quit. Some will read this and never know how much helped me...perhaps it was a post I read, something in your introduction, something in your hall of fame speech. I thank you all that took the time to leave a legacy for me. For all of you that I have been able to support- the opportunity to support you is a gift to me. My quit is strengthened by you. You all continually inspire me with your determination and guts.


My deepest thanks.

30-Just so you know, your Quit is very inspirational to me. I dipped for 30 years also so I know that you are painfully aware of how it involved every aspect of my life. All the lies I would tell my girlfriend so I could sneak home and succumb to the nic bitch.
I post Roll Call and continue to be inspired by your Quit. I am proud and honored to be Quit with you! Peace

Thanks for the encouragement, boiler. At this point in my quit the good days outnumber the bad about 10 to 1. But I still have days of Fog, rage and brief craves. Need to get my fat posterior into some cardio workout, or the next thing you know I'll be raging on "the biggest loser".

Monday is my cardio day as well. I saved up some money and bought a heart rate monitor that can download my workout info to my computer (Polar). I'm a dork when it comes to numbers/stats/tracking information. I think that's one reason I love baseball. anywho, i find that by tracking items like minutes/miles/heart rate as well as pounds, waistline  not to mention days quit, I'm able to hold myself accountable because one thing I cannot stand is an incomplete spreadsheet or missing numbers. it gets my mind off nic, i find something else to track. last week, i spent 30 minutes in my office (not working) and tracked how many people walked by my office. it got me through my crave.

like i said, i'm a dork and tracking/numbers may not be your thing. But, you have a thing, everyone does. Know what that is and use it to your advantage.

Life just keeps getting better. I took my daughter to church last night, I was happy to take her. I'm ashamed to admit that was not always the case: drive time used to be my time to feed my addiction,  passengers were not welcome.

I paused yesterday to think about how my family always got to see me at my worst, they always got to see me in withdrawal, when I couldn't wait to sneak away and feed the need. The nic-be-otch and I always met in secret.  I'm not her prisoner any more....

The chains are falling away....

wonderful....... i know about the drive to dip.... take the long way home, trips to the store alone.....driver only.....

will be nice to enjoy life with the people we love rather than the weed out to kill us
One of the side benefits of quitting !! I spend more time with family and friends now and truely enjoy being with them.

Life ROCKS without nic. It just keeps getting better !!

STAY QUIT

The whole drive time thing rang true with me - and how I always wanted to go to lunches in someone else's car so my spit bottle did not roll out from under my seat - or glove box accidentally opens and reveals the 5 pack of fresh cope - all the hiding - it is embarrassing to think about it now (Day 3 for me) - but I am not gonna miss that - glad you enjoyed time with your baby girl 30

Day 60

Tonight I was in the car and I had a crave. It was stronger than typical. Stronger than I have had in quite a while. I thought about the "nirvana dip" that I would get if I caved after 60 days. I ran my tongue along my bottom lip, the one that was cut up before, but now is nice and smooth. A dip wouldn't even burn, It would feel so good right there... Lies all f'ing LIES. I'm an addict, buying lies. Nirvana dip, my foot...Dip good, hell most of the time, I almost puked it out when I was done with it, gagging the dip into the spitter.

Was I close to caving? If I was not on guard, sure. If I wasn't informed, sure. If I didn't have anyone to be accountable to, sure. If I didn't remember how hard it was to get this far, sure. Being here keeps me reminded of all these things. Being a part of this community keeps me quit. Of that I am sure.

Thank YOU.

Day 55

Went out to dinner tonight with my wife. As busy parents of 4 and grandparents of 1, my wife and I go out to dinner very seldom, perhaps 2-3 times a year. Tonight was one of those nights. It was also the first time ever that a can did not come along with us. Its times like these that I savor the victory that I have won over nicotine. Feels good, Feels like freedom.

Agreed ! Life is so much better without Nicotine !! You have only started scratching the surface... It just gets better!
