I'm on day 59 but around three weeks in I had some dizziness and fatigue. I had it for about a week and I was back to normal. Just take it one day at a time and it will pass.

Grrr my day 8 hangover is far worse than the craves. In fact, I was surprised when I posted my early am roll, I really hadn't even thought of that nic bitch all evening. I was out at the bar, putting down the beers and having a dip never even crossed my mind. It wasn't until I got home and had a few glasses of water that it came sneaking into my mind. Figured fuck that bitch, it is technically after midnight, I'm posting roll now.

Anyhow, I'll take any milestone I can get, the little taste of freedom was great!!!

Let's get our quit on today!!

Hey Pete be the bigger man look and walk away! Go out for a walk, do pushups, run over turtles but just don't do shit that can ruin family ties on count of you raging mad because you're not stuffing that shit in your mouth anymore! This shits hard, if it were easy we wouldn't be having this conversation. Takes a much bigger man to walk away. I quit with you! Pm me get my number and call and cuss ass out if you need to, I'm a big boy I can handle it!

You've got this Pete. It won't always be easy, but the shittiest day of quitting is better than your best day of dipping. If that hasn't sunken all the way in yet, don't worry, it will. If you keep pursuing your quit, you will never fail.

I hear you. I'm sure I'll figure it out. Unfortunately I spent my day trying to reign it in at work, that when some family members started bickering about something fairly trivial, I jumped in and picked a side (in glorious f-bomb fashion I might add!) Hopefully I didn't just blow the deposit on a Dec. Hawaii family trip!!!

I appreciate the support here, I gotta get my shit together and not let the fallout from the quit make forget why I'm doing it. Y'all have been great at keeping me pointed in the right direction.

Quote from: pete333
Yesterday I found to be strange. Craving was minimal, really didn't dwell on it too much. Unfortunately it was replaced with rage. Not anger or grumpiness, but straight up bridge-burning, stay the fuck out of my way rage. I am not going to dwell to much on the details as I have previously been passive with regards to some family disagreements. Yesterday was a tipping point and I decided to express some opinions regardless of the outcome. The kicker is that yesterday was also my daughter's birthday. While I don't think the kids totally caught on the the background drama as it was via phone/ text not in person screaming, I think they knew Dad was in a bad mood about something again.

Who knows, perhaps it was a long time coming, or maybe I should not have upset the status quo. I am certain my rage and anger was mostly due in part to my old friend nic.

Right now I am on a mission. I really don't care about collateral damage. I figure I will pick up the pieces once I get over the hump. I do worry that there are going to be a lot of pieces....

I quit today regardless.
Pete this is all normal stuff my man. Come on here and rage away. I've never been on Live Chat (yet), but I've seen many a quitter note that they were talked off the rage ledge by the quitters in there.

Just remember that whether you knew it or not at the time, you were using nicotine to "chill" your emotions and bury them beneath your addiction. This self-medicating behavior suppressed many emotions over the years. It is going to take time to teach your mind and body how to react "normally" to your emotions again. You literally will have to create new pathways in your brain for dealing with emotions instead of drowning them in your poison.

Don't take this out on your family. They didn't do this to you, you did it to yourself. Don't use that as a reason to wallow in self-pity, use it as a reason to stand up to this poison once and for all. Vent your emotions on here, go for a run, do some pushups, be the front man in a grunge metal band, whatever it takes, but don't punish your family.

You've got this man, keep it up. It will get better and everyday you're teaching your body what it's like to be free from the poison. Let it heal.

Thanks guys, I needed the back up today. I nearly caved. A coworker, was teasing and offered a bandit (he had no idea I have been hooked for years) and I shrugged and took it. My twisted addict mind told me, hey, you got to be Polite. He laughed as I had it in my hand and said thanks as I walked off. Currently the office is being remodeled so I went outside to the honey bucket (Porta pot). I kinda surprised myself and instead of popping that bitch in I dropped it in the nasty blue bowl where it belongs.

Needless to say, I really struggled with my quit today. I did go bs with the coworker a bit later and told him I had quit today. He laughed, as he thought I was just getting started. If he only freakin knew....

Ultimately, today was a bitch, and I have some demons to beat the snot out of, but I'm happy with the outcome. I am also very grateful to everyone who quit with me today and a couple of y'all who were letting me vent for a bit this afternoon. I needed it, thanks again.

I look forward to quitting with y'all tomorrow.
Keep it up Pete. Keep adding the +1's. The first few weeks can be brutal, but eventually it's always going to pay off. Just keep going. Every day you post a +1 is a win, and every win is a taste of freedom. Stay strong through the beginning, it gets a lot better.

...and when the vending machine took my $1.50...there was almost a mushroom cloud in the Northwest.... Being at work blows because there are cans everywhere. Several of my techs use, and a peer or two. just makes it a bit trickier to distract myself.

Grrr, My 4th quit is a bear. I hope this is a peak of sorts, as I am really struggling today. My lack of focus is really impacting my work and I can see that my anxiety level is through the roof. really having a fucked up type of day...The good news is I am nearly 50% done with todays quit.
Days will vary. Tomorrow you may wake up and actually feel pretty good. We will worry about tomorrow when it comes though. You should feel pretty good. The actual physical effects of nicotine are now behind you. What you will be dealing with now are called triggers. Every time you complete a new task you will train your body how to do it without nicotine....like day 2 at the office.
