I Quit today

[Grizzlyhasclaws]

Day 5 was hard for a few reasons that I didn't expect. Had the day all to myself and the craves were few and far between. What I had trouble with today was more rage and uneasiness. Grilled out dinner and I guess my wife wasn't happy with something I had done. Little bit of arguing but nothing major. Then went to the high school football game of the little country school district my kids attend. Being around all the little kids and screaming and having them crawling all over you just got to me. Now these aren't my kids, well one of them was but he knows better. I had my seeds and fake with me so it wasn't a crave that got to me but I guess I just didn't have the normal patience. I tried to keep it hidden that I was uneasy but by the end of the 3rd quarter I had to get up and just have some space. This quit brings something new every day and I love it. Can't be complacent because you never know how the little bitch is going to come at you. Bring it on nic bitch. QLF

Sir

One day at a time. Nicotine dulled all of your senses before. It leveled out the lows, but it slso leveled out the highs. It redefined your life in ways that you didn't realize, and didn't want. It will get better... Your brain will rewire and as it does you are going to enjoy the peaks and valleys more and more. Keep the faith

Hope your team won!

Another nice win Nope. And what you are feeling is completely normal. You are right on track. If you don't believe me just do some digging. If you have not done so already I would HIGHLY suggest that you dig into the intro of one or more quitters on here. Go back to the beginning of their threads and you will that they struggled in very similar ways. I suggest Skoalmonster, wastepanel, Deisel2212. If you are really bored and want to get into the mind of a lunatic you could read my intro. HOF speeches and Word of Wisdom make for some great reading too.

Keep it up. You are doing great.

^^listen to these guys. You're experiencing sensory overload. It's a good thing. You are now alive. You were a nic zombie before. This is great. Embrace freedom brother!

Nice win on the course Sir Nope. You are a fearless quitter. I was still curled up on the couch feeling helpless on day 4. In fact, I had just found the site on that day.

I like the fact that you are out playing golf already. Without nicotine, you will conquer all of the things that you use to do with it. Nicotine never helped you.

Wastepanel made a great point yesterday. Heed it. Be ready always, post roll early, have a plan, reach out to quitters when you need to. You are now 5 days quit. It took years to make this decision and to get to this point. It only takes one second of stupidity to screw it up.

You've got this Sir. Keep it up.

That's my nature I guess to not let anything keep me back from doing what I like to do. Hunting season is about to start and I will be damned if I am going to let the nic bitch take away my duck season. I will take a more proactive stance on fighting craves because what Its_got says about only taking seconds to screw up really hits hard. Quitting all day and everyday

Day 4 for me and it's been a huge victory. My sanctuary, my place of refuge is a golf course. Doesn't matter if it's Augusta or a cow pasture just being there is one of my heavens. Well today was the first competitive round I have played in 20 years without Copenhagen. Now I will be the first to say that I have a some what bad attitude on the course, break clubs, cussing and throwing a fit. Nothing to make a scene or take up time but I am hard on myself. Today was great. My playing partner is also my best friend, a can of cope a day for him too. He didn't miss a beat and didn't coddle me. It was out, he was dipping and I could have cared less. Win win.

I planted the seed for him to start his quit too but I can't do it for him. That day will come. Thanks to everyone on KTC for everything, just reading on here shuts a craving down. Still quitting and plan on doing it all day.

Sir

Right on Sir. I don't play golf, but I've been known to play a good game of Whack and Fuck.

Nolaq on the course - 'Whack!' ... 'Fuck!'

To be fair, Nolaq whacks and fucks everywhere he goes.

Be proud of your accomplishment, but be weary. She attacks when we are at our weakest. You hook a few shots? "You play better with me..." Miss a put? "You're just not concentrating like you did with me..."

Be weary and have plans (especially when your partner has it). Plan to be quit and you will be quit.

Waste, I will have a plan in place for sure. Thank you for that.

Day 3 is wrapping up and once again I am at work on my last night shift. I want to say it's been easier being at work then I think it will be at home. I work 4 days then have 4 days off and so on. So many more triggers there then here at work. Tomorrow I will wake up and quit, I will head to the golf course and quit and I will keep that quit going all day long. The fog is here and I just have to grab and embrace it. This is for me first and foremost but it's for my wonderful wife and two young boys. I quit today and I have never been more excited to be a quitter. Thanks for the support from jwright, QuitInCa and It's_Got2Happen.

Neil

You've got some bad ass quitters in your corner Neil. That is key - get there numbers and shoot them a text. Making connections here makes the accountability stronger

I noticed thatvyoubpostcearly you are hard headed. Pretty common trait here. Most of the peeps on this board are very driven - all in on everything we do. Balls to the wall. You will put that same level of focus on your quit and you will succeed. Because one day at a time, you cannot fail.

Welcome aboard! This is hard dude... But it gets better. Freedom is a wonderful thing. One day at a time.

Day 2 has been a day. I can feel my temper getting shorter and shorter as my shift goes on. Up all night again. Have been eating this smoky mountain like its candy. Feel surprisingly good but all that can change in a moments notice. Thanks for all the pm's and encouragement. I quit again today and plan on quitting again tomorrow.

Neil

Great job on today Neil. We will worry about tomorrow tomorrow. It will likely get worse before it gets better. EXPECT IT. Be ready brother. There is an end, and it is so worth it. But it does take some time. You can do this man. It hurts so bad, but it will not kill you, I promise. Stay the course.

If you need another number just say the word. I never mind picking up a winner. I have a feeling that you really want this bad.

WOOHOOO!!!! Grats on deciding to keep your face, and tongue! Best decision you've ever made for yourself. I'm so happy for you! You say want to quit, and that's awesome! Are you willing to follow the program? Are you willing to commit to what is required at KTC every day for the rest of your life? It's not a hard thing to do, but it must absolutely become a priority in your life, and your wife and kids need to know about KTC, and they need to know what you will be going through, and they need to know what is required of you. So, in short you must do the following:

1. Read. Read everything on this site. Learn from the quitters here. Think you have a problem nobody else has? Wrong. Ask questions, and read about our addiction.
2. POST ROLL DAILY WITHOUT FAIL! YES EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER OR YOU ARE ONLY ON A CELLPHONE. YES EVEN THEN! It's the cornerstone of KTC and you must commit to it every day.
3. Get some phone numbers to people in KTC and use them should you decide to allow your sorry carcass to cave. They are your lifeline. I'll PM you my info, but you want some people in your quit group.

Good luck to you, and I am quitting with you today!
