Awesome 30yr. Isn't it great when we can enjoy the family time without having to squeeze it in between a full schedule of dipping.

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.

This partial roll call was from the May 2011 group. We were between days 44 to 72. Some of the symptoms of early withdrawal are known to occur here: fogs, funk, depression and craves. Triggers still exist in our quit. Be on your guard. Knowledge is power.

-30-

For extra credit, one of these quitters disappeared one week to the day of this roll call....care to guess which one?

QOTD =What part of your quit is the most difficult right now?
___________________________________


30yrAddict -52- The fog is back.
Junkman - day 70 - The occasional fog sucks, but the cravings are gone.
MDfee - 61 - baseball
Ninereasons - day 50 - the most difficult part right now is all behind me.
Fuggles day 56 bullshit at work and baseball
ODAAT - 64 - some dizziness and anxiety, but all is well most of the time
Newcal - Day 47 - Worst part.. dizziness and fog are back. no craves though.
nomosko -59- The 50's have been the worst so far. I keep reminding myself that 1-7 were worst but I am having a hard time convincing myself. I quit.
franklin - 49 - filling up with gas and not going to the counter for a tin of turd
J2b - 72 - pure rage at little things, AD oh wait, look at that.
grsshppr 44 overconfidence
bryank - 72 - Every pain in the jaw and worrying about my health.
associatejohn - Day 60 - Late term blahs, constant need for the fake stuff
Bigmac869-Day 49-been having psychological battles lately. "this would be a great time for a fatty" my mind says..."fuck you, mind!" is what I say back to it. Didn't have a lot if these battles until recently...
Razz - Day 59 - the suck and the fog are returning......made sure to have a supply of the fake stuff at all times.
rob2857- Day 72- Watching friends dip/ reccuring cravings
mitchell10-day 71-Having some dip dreams (bumped x 3)
Xander - Day 57 - Golf and Baseball
retreadcpt- Day 44- I'm having dip dreams and I think about it all the time, not cravings, though.
Drewm74-Day 70-The occasional semi-crave, but hen I remind myself that I like having a few extra dollars that would have normally gone towards crap in the can. (bumped)
Magnum- 49- Ran out of Hooch, trying to fight the oral fixation issue now. Almost worse than fighting the nic bitch.
RickS - day 72... I'd have to agree with rob, watching friends dip... Although it hasn't been that bad, I'm mainly quitting so my boy doesn't have to grow up around this shit like I did... That really keeps me on task...
WV8VFD - 51 - WORK
oink229 - day 57 - Whatever causes stress or pisses me off.
Crazyjerry - day 66 - remembering to post roll

the good news is, i suppose, that each time we 'quit' we give our bodies some breathing space....give it an interlude to heal...some space to revive itself....you keep fighting, my friend, and i will too.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UBER FAIL- There is no good news here, your rationalizing your failure. taking a break isnt success. QUIT IS SUCCESS. Stop looking behind you and start looking ahead. Cut those strings Sand. There is no partial victory here. Your ALL IN or your out.

For whatever reason I feel the need to get this off my chest. Don't know why. I don't mean to be a downer or discourage anyone, just look at it as me journaling.

So I've made it to day 33, and, for the most part it has been easy. Too easy...actually scares me. Why? I know what happens when I get to the "seventh inning stretch" on my quit. You see I caved two times before. Once fifteen or so years ago, that quit lasted a few months, after that went to cigars, and eventually back to chew. Another time I was using a fake product called Rizla (sp?). The company stopped making it and I was too chickenshit to stay quit without it.

You see I know me. I know I'm an addict. I expect to fight this all the days of my life. I know that the minute I loose sight of that, my quit will be in jeopardy. My quit can NEVER go on autopilot. Knowing this makes it difficult to celebrate any milestones....I think the HOF day is just going to be another day to me, another day to stay quit. ditto for floor 2, 3, one year, comma, etc. When I look at some of the old HOF groups where no one is posting roll any more I think -that can never be for me. I'm an addict, always will be. I'll always need people to hold me accountable. I thank all of you for that

But you all will have to forgive me when I don't get giddy when I hit 100, 365, 1,000 or 10,000 cause i'll just be another addict quittin one day at a time.

Ditto on the future timeline concerns.

written from the heart....i relate to it all.....yes, the last time i 'quit' snuff i too was drawn back in by smoking cigars at a friend's after dinner. this went on for a few months and i was hooked again...back to eating dirt.

the good news is, i suppose, that each time we 'quit' we give our bodies some breathing space....give it an interlude to heal...some space to revive itself....you keep fighting, my friend, and i will too.

Good words there 30 ...... that is where true strength comes from, knowing where we are weak. This is also the best "anti-cave" attitude there is. Keep on fighting brother, I'm glad your here!

Right on Brother. Like Harry Calahan said, "A man's got to know his limitations". We have to stay vigilant on our Quit.

Thanks for posting that 30.

I heard that tobacco is kicking the crap out of you today: sucker-punched you after the bell or something like that. Get mad, bro. Find something to hit. I'm fighting back too.

Looking forward to succeeding this time...not feeling all that confident in me, though.
Looking forward to something your not feeling confident you can do? You either want to quit or you don't. And because you stumbled across this website, it's most likely you want to quit the can. Everybody in here is quitting the can, and we're doing it one day at a time.
Wake up in the morning, post roll (a promise to you and everybody in here) you can and will quit, and when it gets rough (cause it will) come back to this site and read up, chat, vent, do whatever you got to do to make it through the day. Then repeat the next day. Quitting is that simple. Do you own your body, or does Nicotine own you? Hope to see you in the AM 30yr! You can do this!
Larry is right. Either Quit or don't.
No confidence in Quitting? Are you confident that you will die a fucking horrible death if you don't? I am.
Man up, get it done.
Is it gonna suck? yup
Is it gonna be hard? yup
Biggest challenge of your life? yup
Will you have support? yup
Will it save your life? YUP

You can do this!!!! How do I know? Because this site is packed with thousands of people just like you that are doing it.
Read up, learn, post roll every day, get it done!!! We are here to help you.

If I can be of any assistance feel free to PM me.

Brian
30yA,

You scared? That is normal. Check: your human. These guys have pretty well said it. You have some kick ass quitters in your corner already. After a quick scan I'm not seeing a Day 1 post in Here..

...that would be a good start. Then just worry about today. Beyond that, nothing matters, it doesn't exist. Today ONLY!

You got this, hold on though, gonna be a bumpy ride :)
