Some of the sweet nothings that nic whore whispers in my ear used to make me blush. Now I just look at her and do this: 'finger point' Then, when that doesn't work she does this: 'boob' And at first I do this: :wub: And then I realize what I'm doing and then do this: 'bang head' After I regain consciousness I am finally back to my senses and do this: 'Finger' And then, because I'm so cool, I go and do this: 'Sno' Peace
Peace,

You had me laughing so hard my sides where aching!

Romandog-My Bad Ass Army of Quit Brother, I had what was easily the best Day of Quit so far. (Day 7) I really needed it because I had a string of days that sucked. I actually had a good night of sleep last night as well. It was 10 days before 30 yraddict had a good night's sleep so I got lucky there. It does get better! Be sure to PM me if there is anything I can do. Today I posted Roll Call and today I am Quit. Peace

Glad to hear its getting better. But dont let your guard down! That nic whore will whisper sweet nothings in your ear and convince you that "Just One" is OK. Its NOT! Stay vigilant. See you in the HOF.

Thanks guys. I know we're all in this together. I forgot what I was gonna say cuz I just realized I'm totally pissed off at myself for creating a hole where none existed and now I have to deal with all this SHIT. And I want to blame somebody, anybody, but the only idiot I have to blame is me. Maybe I'm just barely creeping up to that line where instead of being completely lost in my own subjectivity I'm just far enough away (Day 5) from the nic bitch that I can see her somewhat objectively, and what I am seeing is just PISSING ME OFF. I was so easy. Hell, I don't remember ever even putting up a fight. 30 freakin' years I just did whatever the hell she told me to. No backbone, no resistance, no defiance, no fight, no nothin. How humiliating! Hell, I'm a runner. I exercise. I always have a frisbee, a football, a baseball and a baseball glove in my vehicle at all times. I drink lots of water. I KNOW BETTER. But it just didn't occur to me how incongruous stuffing a known carcinogen into my mouth all day was, along with all the healthy crap I was doing. And now all this SHIT. But then I get home and the first thing I do is log in to home base (KTC) and there are messages from you total Bad Ass Quitters telling me to stay strong and your in this with me and I'm not alone and I've got PM's from Corn and others thanking me for helping them or for helping us or giving me numbers and letting me know I'm not the only one going through some particular thing and I remember that even though I am going through all this SHIT, I have not gone to the store to buy the Kodiak because today I posted Roll Call and gave my word to all you Awesome, Amazing, Incredible, Bad Ass Quitters that I would not use nic today and I thank God for you. Today I posted Roll Call and Today I am Quit. Peace

Stay strong man. You are on a very bumpy road, but a good road you must travel. Be ready cause your fight is not over. You will more than likely hit a rough spot around 40-60 days. Power through it!!!!!!!! Put as much effort into your quit as you used to put into dipping. Ever ran out late at night and lost sleep to go get a can? Put 110% into this and remember we are behind you.

Finally got some sleep last night. Fog is still lurking but not near what it was. Days 2 and 3 sucked bad. Today (Day 5) is much, much better. Still using Smokey Mountain and I am starting to wonder if I am going to be able to quit the physical act of dipping. It's hard to get a handle on all this. I'm Day 5, that means all the nic is out of my system, right? Well, I did sleep better last night but I'm still foggy. Everybody is annoying the hell out of me. I still want to go to the store and buy some Kodiak. Or do I? Maybe I'm just so used to going and buying it that I just think I want to go and buy it. I mean, 30 years is a long damn time to be doing anything. And when you add in the fact that that thing that you were doing is addictive in itself, that's a pretty damn powerful combination. Today I posted Roll Call and Today I am Quit. Peace
Peace,

It took me 10 days to get a reasonable amount of sleep. After that I felt much better. I suppose all the Nic is out of your system, but you will still have withdrawal symptoms as your brain learns how to function without nicotine. What will start to happen is you will have several good days and then you will hit a day or two of fog/craves/etc. Power through them to get to another string of good days. Those strings of good days will get longer and longer.

Stay Quit

Happy to hear you are getting om better, Peace. Day 3 was a cast iron bitch for me too. It has been much, much easier since, except with all the skin growing back in my mouth toothpaste BURNS!!!!

Had to take a fairly long drive alone last night... The crave was pretty strong but I posted roll. No worm dirt of death for me!

TMP - Yeah it's gonna take some time to unwind your brain - like even today - Day 9 for me - I am still looking around for my can when I leave somewhere to make sure I don't forget it - and still look at all the hiding places in my car and home - thinking that I am going to reach for it any second - but it's not there - and then I remember my commitment to me, you and the July bros. And then the feeling goes away.....until the next time I leave for somewhere and check for my can again - I am a psycho freak right now - but we will prevail. Corn

sas-Thank you so much. I love Quitters checking up on me and holding me accountable! I see you have posted, too. Congrat's on 16!!! What sucks is I want to go around and check up on our July 2011 Quit Group Brothers but I have to leave and go to work. I'll log in as soon as I get back. Have a great day of Quit! Peace
