I gotta get in on this too- I am feeling great right now about my quit- day 24- that scares me. I have been reading this site almost constantly since I quit and the most common theme - people cave when they aren't active in quitting. I don't spend much time in the forums during the weekends either but I make sure that I post roll- even when it is a major pain in the ass on my phone-
Now if you are into your 20 something days quit. I think I can weigh in on the cravings and why they are so intense.

When they hit you, you forgot.

They are intense because you forgot.

I know this because I forgot.

STOP THINKING ABOUT THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF BEING QUIT FOREVER!!!!

You only quit today and you only need to survive today. The intensity will break soon but understand and don't focus on winning and staying quit tomorrow, a week or making it to the hall.

You won't make it to the hall if you don't focus on today only. Tomorrow will come soon enough but its moot if you don't put your all into quitting today. You will be amazed how much saying you aren't quit forever, only today does for your resolve!

Pace yourself and conserve energy for tomorrow? The strength to last 24 hours will be there regardless how much energy you use today. You will recharge if you win today. The next today you face is the same drill. Only focus and don't forecast tomorrows fight. ONLY TODAY.

Nicotine tricked your brain into becoming addicted. You are tricking your brain back to healthy freedom. It can only be done for today. Fuck tomorrow until tomorrow is today.

This will help you through the funks that come.....You are in a funk right now. Recognize and survive by only worrying about your quit on Today's vs. Tomorrow's.
Quit And Be Free

Hello guys.  Well, today is day 29 and I am doing well.  It is difficult for me to make time to post roll on the weekends.  I have a few numbers I can text to post roll for me but to be honest I don't think about it...which is kind of a good thing beecause if I am not thinking about posting roll then I am not thinking about dipping.  The reason it is difficult on the weekends is because I get woken up by my little boy between 5:30- and 6am and it is on for the weekend. 

My cravings have decreased in quantity but increased in intensity.  I don't get them as much but when they come they come strong.  Thus, this weekend I packed a baggies full of gum, candy, suckers and seeds.  I put one in the house, one in the truck and brought one to work.  Now where ever I am I am prepared to not cave.  I truely believe, like anything else, if you prepare well, you will succeed.
I read someone say once that nic will lie to you and say this place is keeping you thinking about dipping. That's NOT a good thing! That's a lie! Don't fall for it!

This place keeps you thinking about QUITTING.

Guard your quit. When you stop and allow her to lie to you - "You've got this, you don't need it on the weekends. It's just keeping dipping on the forefront of your mind" you have given her an in to take hold of you. Read the stories here. People with far more days than you caved when they forgot to ACTIVELY keep their guard up.
10 seconds.

That's all it takes to send a text saying "Grim-Day XX".

Are you telling me you don't have 10 seconds from 5:30 am on to do that?

You are currently on day 29. The 20s are an odd time because we want to be "healed" by now. Look at the spreadsheets. We lose more quitters in the 20s than any time other than the first week. It's because, like you seem to be implying, that many of them feel they're "quit".

You may not have thought about it on days 28-29, but I guarantee that you will again. Very shortly. There's a nasty little funk in the late 30s and early 40s that feels like it's first week again. It hurts. I had to lock myself in my house one day 2 years ago.

The important thing to know is that it is coming, and you need to prepare for it. When times are good...great. Enjoy it. Have fun. But, do anything and everything you can do to keep this good going. Like I said, 10 seconds.

Is your quit worth that?
What the fuck...you can text someone to ask them to post roll but can't post it yourself?

Fucking bullshit.

I texted someone asking them to post role for me because I was in Butt Fuck Michigan with no internet access. Not because I got up early and "it was on"

You're on day 29. You better get your head on straight and stop trying to talk yourself into reasons why its ok NOT to post roll.
This quit should be the most important thing in your life.

Your answer, my boy is the most important.

My answer,, then post roll. Show him how important he is by making this quit your first priority.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

No worries, I'm not a big drinker so I do not drink often. And when I do a big drinking night for me is 6 beers. Not enough make this man cave.
Glad to hear it. Still we are addicts and have to be careful not to exchange one for another. Protect your quit at all costs. Life gets better everyday we are quit. You got this every a.m. you post roll. Cheers brother :)
