Dude, you are waaaaaay overthinking this.

You quit today.

I'm happy you met a girl that you "might date" and that she"smokes black and milds from time to time", but it sounds to me like you're looking for a reason to fail.

If you girl jumps off the Brooklyn Bridge, are you going to follow?

Worry about today (both with this girl and your quit).

Here's to you getting your dick wet, hornball. 'fireman'

You can do it!
Haven't come to intro's for a while and the first post I read has Wastepanel. Great advise.

Missed you man. Totally in a ghey way too.

:wub:

I am quit today and love the freedom. Never over-think or worry about the future. Win your battle today and if you wake up tomorrow...do it again.

Wow, I see it the same way. I feel more alive, and free. Its true, ive become so used to poisoning myself that im not sure how im supposed to feel, I sense a difference, and I like the new me. Dont ever want to go back to Nic. But the "fog" is real. Cant wait to see another day nic free.

Your doing great. The "fog" will come and go as your brain learns to rewire its thinking without nicotine. I think of it as returning to normal, to a time when I was purer without the poison in my system. Hang tough. Quit with you.

This is the spot where you post your own personal introduction and continue to use it as a personal journal as you need throughout your quit. Everyone gets 1 of these personal introduction posts. The quit group postings look more like a list of names and days quit that you cut and paste each day adding to the list. Go back and check your post to make sure you don't get bumped from the list as other people post their quit pledges. Its always a good idea to double check to make sure you didn't bump someone off the list and if you do, go ahead and add them back to it with a little note (bump fix) next to their name.

Everyone bumps someone sooner or later, some more than others. Shit happens.

This is something you learn after 180 days of posting on here

Haha, Okay. Yea still a noob at this, but this sight gives me something that quiting alone cannot provide. Im trying to be an active member here. I have never used a blog before in my life ~"I know thats sad, right"~ but I appreciate everything yall do. at day 10 and I feel much better than the first few days, still got alot to work on, but; I think the Physical withdrawl is over? right? now its more of a psychological withdrawl, Gotta keep my guard up. I have moments where "Im missing something" and it kinda slows me down. Cant wait to get past that. Startin to feel better about alot of things, reading and studying are getting back to baseline and surprising enough, I feel like my focus to detail and attention is begining to improve beyond what any substance could provide. I dont have the initial kick in the pants"motivation" from the nic bitch to begin a task, but once I begin a task without using, I derive my pleasure from the task itself and soon forget about needing nic. My duration of pleasure and/or attention to task at hand is no longer limited by the ffects and duration of a drug. I see clearer now, and I often literaly see things bigger,brighter and more intouch with reality compared to using. Once agan, thank you to everyone; from Superfly. This is Sparta!!

Merged to one intro so we can follow your quit better.

I agree with Buffalo. Excercise helps.

I dealt with some serious anger issues. I'm a pretty laid-back guy, but there were times I could barely keep it under control. Nicotine has clouded our senses for many years, thus dulling the impact of what we experienced. Our brains must build a new database when we quit. That takes a while, but it will happen.

The good news? Nicotine also dulled the impact of positive experiences. Enjoyment will be better than ever before.

Excercise helps me. Early in my quit I also told people what I was doing and that I was probably going to be an ass for a while. As the time passed the rages became fewer and fewer as the nic bitch switches to other attack plans.

Next time you feel a rage coming on try to get away from the trigger as soon as possible by going for a walk, a run, lifting weights, whatever. It will soon pass. This site is great for raging. We welcome it. You can do this.

i had those days, they pasted and become less frequent when i started to realize that people weren't out to get me and that the rage was coming from that bitch nicotine. i made the choice to render her powerless and just swallow my anger. you have to tell her that YOU are in control. you have done it by quitting, now do the same with the ways she plays you

Almost forgot roll today. IÂ’ve been tired most of the day. I have a roommate and I am in college. I was feeling okay I guess,, then I came home with some groceries and beer. My roommate came to see what I bought and stated "should have got a lite beer". I flipped out and threw some veggies against the wall and said "here want some of this mother fucker"! Im feel better now, but it was like a lightning bolt of pure anger, I was pissed.'blowup'
I Hope that goes away soon. Going to apologies to my roommate but I need to find a way to get a grip of that anger. It seems my amygdala is doing flips. I feel calm most of the time, but there is a repressed aggression that seems to have been awakened, and when it does,,,, it strikes hard and fast. Do any of yall feel this way?
