You're doing it right, brother!!! Proud to be quit with you. As for being out of shape...Usain Bolt can only run for 10 seconds. You're a super-bad ass...assuming a comparable pace, of course.

lcwb96 here...

Okay December boys, listen up, it's been a couple of days since I spent any substantial time on the site (other than posting roll), but coming back, it's becoming clear we have an issue with cavers.

I challenge ALL of you to team up with at least one other December quitter, reach out and PM them, get their number so you can text them at any time, KEEP THEM ACCOUNTABLE, BE THERE FOR THEM, HELP THEM. We're all going through this shit together and it SUCKS!!!! Man up, grab a buddy, and beat this nic bitch. I am QLMF'ers with b62 and dew!!! I hope to get to know more of you.

In addition to keeping your December brothers in line, reach out to some veterans on the role. They are ALL willing to help. Go to the chat site and blow off some steam.

You MUST be committed all the way, have a quit plan, know what to do when the going gets tough, REACH OUT FOR HELP. Bottom line, you have to want to do it for YOU, but we will all need help.

Update: Day 9 for me... almost caved last night. We are in the midst of selling our house, buying a new house, packing, moving, closing, kids starting new school, and then my iPhone dies!!! It literally f'ing dies!!! It's brand new and it just goes bye bye... Asked my wife where my iPhone box is that I told her not to throw away... OMFG!!! She threw it away!!!! At this point, I need a dip like a m-f'er, sweating profusely, so pissed I'm shaking like I'm about to go into black-out mode and start killing shit!!!! Phone is broke, can't text, internet is cancelled already, no KTC website, what the Frick am I gonna do!?!?!? Then I remember the guys on KTC talking about exercising, burning calories, walking the dog so out I went and ran my ass off (which took about ten minutes 'zombie' ) and had to reduce myself to walking (I'm so out of shape). Looking back today, I am so glad I didn't cave. I wanted to SO BAD and it would have been so easy... hell, my wife's cigs were right there for the taking.

Bottom line... I have found that breaking through moments like these strengthen your resolve, it does make it a little easier the next time a crave hits. It also makes ME proud of myself and lets me know I have to post roll... not just for me, but for all my December brothers!!!

awesome news man. congrats on the quit. It was real bad for me for 5 days. It started getting easier after that with some miserable days inbetween. Not a straight line, but it does get easier.

Just know that by day 4 your physical stuff will be mostly gone. find a way to keep yourself occupied. and busy. Getting your mind off it helps tremendously.

I came on here and went into the chat room just to kill time, when i was having a hard time. I still do it.

Best of luck to you and stay quit with me.

Your are on the right track, proud to be quit with you today.

I took some sleep aids to help me get some rest after a couple nights sleepless, helped tremendously to start the day with a fresh brain.

First few days the early am suck for me was the worst, then the mornings got good and then evenings and after dinner got even tougher yet. I walked my dog until she didn't want to walk anymore and tried hard to wear myself out when things got real tough. I also had an insatiable appetite but that passed after day 4.

Read all you can, that helps to know you aren't in this alone. When the minutes seem like hours you'll know you are freeing yourself from nic's clutches. Use this pain and write it down here or somewhere to remind you to never visit that bitch again. Never again one day at a time.

If you don?t control what you have access to, what you have access to will control you.

I?m trying to remind myself daily it?s not the absence of conflict that determines whether or not my relationships are healthy. It?s knowing how to handle the conflicts that will arise.

Character is who we are, not who we pretend to be. It's better to be shaped than to be fake.

lcwb,

That is fucking awesome. Crawling the walls at night is where you're supposed to be right now. Embrace the suck. Actually turn the tables on the Nic Bitch and learn to enjoy it. It is the feeling on your recovery...and there's nothing bad about that.

I used to tell myself that "I GET to feel like shit"...like it was a privilege that only bad-ass quitters GET to experience. I would look in the mirror and actually say it out loud to myself in my garage. I saw it as a right of passage.

Nobody can do this for you. It doesn't matter how much money you have, who you know or who your daddy is. It just comes down to you. Do YOU have the determination to stand to be counted with the bad-ass mother-fucking quitters? I'm pumped about your quit. Stay strong and stay quit, brother!!!

Great job. Way to eat healthy. I ate a lot of peanut butter and pretzels. Gained 20 lbs but now am leveling off again. Quit all day with you.

Well, I'm still here and have successfully made it through Day 1!!! Hell yeah!!!. I must say yesterday afternoon (10 hours quit) was a SOB for about 2 hours. From 4 to 6 I wanted a dip so bad I thought I was going to explode.

As soon as that passed, I was hungry as HELL!!! I'm never hungry that early in the evening and don't usually eat dinner until 8:30 or 9:00 at night. I guess that nicotine was really suppressing my appetite. So I eat everything in sight, but tried to keep it to fruits, veggies, and chicken (my wife is awesome at keeping healthy shit in the house). I ate two whole tomatoes, two bananas, three apples, roasted chicken breast and a heavy helping of noodles.

After the meal, of course I wanted a big fatty in my lip... I actually cracked a beer and this helped relieve my craving. I have never been able to dip while drinking, but usually smoke when I drink... (Yeah, that's right, fighting two demons here). But it worked. All day, I was fighting the dip bitch and then I had a beer and started a new fight with the smoky bitch. Smoky doesn't come on nearly as strong as dip bitch for me so I handled her pretty easily until bedtime.

Sleeping sucked... or should I say lack thereof. Waking up hourly, looking at the clock, waking up sweating like a woman on menopause (about 5 times), got the shakes like a SOB a couple of time and really think I kept going in and out of a fever. I'll keep an eye on the shakes and sweats and may pay my doctor a visit to make sure it's not a bigger issue.

In any case, I'm still here. DAY2. NO NIC BITCH FOR ME TODAY!! 'finger point'

Alright, here we go. This has been months in the making. I have been dipping a can a day for the past 26 years. Started when I was 12. Thought it was cool and wanted to be like the other guys (boys). I know this is going to suck, but I am ready and posting here looking and needing your support.

Not sure how this roll call thing works, but I'll figure it out. Any tips would be good though.

Here we go. I WILL NOT DIP TODAY!!!! 'finger point'
Just quit until you can't quit no more.
Lay down, rest a while.
Get back up and quit some more!
