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.

Today has been rough, but even through the density of the fog, I see glimpses of the freedom. Going to dinner with my family and not searching for the restroom to throw in a chew before we left was quite nice. It is also great to see the little voices in my head are wrong and I didn't die without a pinch.

My wife knows something is up, she says I'm grumpy and copping an attitude. Fortunately she and my girls have given me great cover : they spent a fuck-ton of $$$ this weekend. Rental house in Hawaii for a week in Dec, plus airfare, then a rental saxophone for my youngest, then dinner.... Shit yeah I'm grumpy! Little do they know, I'm also rocking the quit!!!

Tonight's reward : Patron on the rocks, small one though. Got a big challenge coming up: tomorrow's quit will be tough at work. But then again I survived today, I guess we will cross that bridge in the morning.

Haha, never got around to the lawn. Saved that distraction for my tomorrow quit. Overall, I just stayed busy today and tried not to dwell. Having my reward beer right now, and it isn't lost on me, that it tastes different....

I'm starting to compare the days and dread some of those ahead. The irony is that it is getting late, and I owned my quit today. Looking back it wasn't overly difficult, although there were a couple moments that I got a bit lost in my thoughts. I know I will own tomorrow, so for now that is all I need.
Good for you Pete. This is a great start. Keep going ODAAT. You have the right mindset, and it seems to me like you're ready to own this thing. Proud of you dude, keep it up. Quit with you today.

I love the crazy thoughts that are creeping in

-sneak to the store
- make excuse to stop by office to "borrow " from a Co workers can on his desk.

Irrationality at its best haha. I'm gonna mow the fucking lawn instead!

Nice try nic!
That's the addict in you, learn to defeat it,be the man kick the bitch to the curb! Good job on the win! Get fake if you have to, you can lay it down later. Quit on!
Hi Pete. Here's my favorite one. "I can have one. Shit, I quit for XXX days. One won't hurt" Remember this: One is too many and one thousand is never enough. You are an addict. Today, for 24 hours, you will not use. You got this!

How did the lawn turn out? I bet you have your very own Fenway Park out there!

Thank you, that is why I am here. I am done with the partial-quit and half - assing it. I'm quit and that's it!
Pete be the man, you will get hard love but remember it's worth every damn second, drink the kool-aid and ride this shit out but remember there's nothing easy about quitting! I'm living proof it can be done! QUIT on!

I was addicted to gum for a good two years straight somewhere in there, but I have come to realization that cold turkey is the only way to go.

I gave it a trial run and survived 9 days but once again something came up
You are addicted to nicotine, one of the most addictive substances known to man (and woman). If they made shoes with nicotine, people would be licking their shoes all day long. Gum, dip, shoes, anything with nicotine, you need to stay away from all of it.

If you are waiting until finally something doesn't come up, you will be dead. Stay quit, and ignore it when something comes up.

I have been "quitting" for some time. My wife thinks I quit somewhere around 12 years ago, and I did off and on throughout the years since but basically no one knows. I was addicted to gum for a good two years straight somewhere in there, but I have come to realization that cold turkey is the only way to go. I gave it a trial run and survived 9 days but once again something came up two cans ago and I thought dang it. I just tossed the remainder and am now going for broke. I cannot keep letting the next "chew" dictate my next meal, or impact my travel plans any longer. I have played hide the can/ gum for way too long. Wish me luck!!!
Pete welcome. My friend we don't quit with luck, use that in horseshoes and marbles. Here we quit ,luck has nothing do with it! We man up ,grab our sac, post roll and get it done! Post roll let's get you some badass quit going! I quit with you today!
I need that confidence. I just realized that my techs will suffer the most this first week, I am currently writing their mid-year appraisals! Thanks again.
Make sure you bring that angst here, and not on your employees. I know you were joking, but the quit rage is real, so pretend I'm a tech and I stuck a french fry in disc drive or something. Oh yeah, chat with your fellow November guys and get some numbers to text with.
