Shoo you are doing great!  72 hr, and getting it out of your system will be great but don't be fooled the bitch will want back in and your addicted mind will want to give her another chance.  Remember who put the poison in your mouth, when the rage hits you get away from the family. I'm on day 59 and had to send the family away Saturday.  This was my 2nd bad rage, my 1st was day 6  7.    Life without nicotine is awesome.
Yeah, I have no illusions of the struggle being over after the 72hrs, it's just going to be nice to know that that shit is no longer flowing through my body.

So yesterday was kinda rough. Hot flashes on and off all day, had the shakes a few times and a fierce headache last night. The wife and kids went to bed around 9 which in the past meant it was dip and video game time, but not last night, I went to bed as well. Unfortunaltely I was on call from my job and my phone rang several times throughout the night, but if not for that I would have slept like a baby.

I'm feeling pretty good so far today. Watching cartoons on the couch with my kids. I'm on day 3, but day 1 started half way through Sunday so I am going to hit the 48hr mark today around 430. I'm looking forward to the 72hr mark, I want this shit out of my body for good.

Today I am QLF!

About to wrap up a 10 hour work day, stuck in this hot as hell office, dip free for the 1st time since ever! I must say, I feel like shit and I feel great at the same time. Now I just need to make it through the hour long drive home.

Just realized that Wrigley's Big Red Gum was not the smartest decision to make after just complaining about burning up in this oven of an office. :(
Drink as much water as you can!!!!

Stay cool and get your mind on something else!!!!

Goto an intro page by a guy named SWJ read his stories and I am positive your mind will be in a better place!

Stay strong brother!

So far today I have had zero major cravings, but son of a bitch if I am not sitting here burning up. Maybe my office turned the air off due to the holiday and I am the only one in here.

I was a 22 year dipper and quit 66 days ago. It can be done. The first week will suck badly, but don't take it out on the family. Come here and rant at us. Embrace that suck and fog and it will be much better in a few days.

PM me with your number if you want.

Just decided today that enough was enough. I'm tired of this addiction controlling what I do on a day to day basis. My decision making process usually started with" am I going to be able to get a dip in during (whatever event was going on)" I have 5 yr old twin boys and a 3 yr old daughter that I would very much like to see grow up, they are the biggest inspiration that I am pulling from, but I'm also doing this for myself as I deserve better. I know this is going to be hard, but I can do it!
This needs to be for yourself only!!!!

Let those around you benefit from your decision but dont use them as your reason/excuse to cave later down the way!

Quit for you today and post your promise to the group, then repeat tomorrow!
KAPOW...

Great decision....I didn't plan to quit - I just knew I wasn't happy or healthy and knew I was an addict - then stumbled on this site and went cold turkey and followed to plan. Day 55.

You can do it.

Don't be a pussy. The next 4 days are going to be hell. But are worth it.
Gear up for the fun! Nothing like embracing the suck! (what the hell does that mean) that's what I wondered when I dumped my shit and joined the quit. Well to me embracing the sucks is second in importance behind early daily roll posting. The suck--oh you are about to discover it, remember what it's like gain a stronger hatred for tabacco increase your hatred for what it has robbed from you. Man-up to the challenge ahead, your balls are bound to double in size this coming week. Work on making contact to fall back on when days suck, and you will be for them when their day feel like shit. Pm me anytime, I'd be glad to share #'s

It's not easy Greg, but it's very simple

Get up...Post Roll...Keep your word

Decide right now if you are a man of your word or are you a lieing douchebag. We all know you have lied to your friends, family, and yourself. But you have an oppurtunity to have 100% integrity with hundreds on this site starting today. See you tomorrow! You CAN do this! I know because I did it.
