Hello

[ParadigmDawg]

Got it T-cell.

A decent day today and pretty good yesterday. I have less energy than normal the past two days and my bike ride was way harder than normal.

I am blaming some of this on just the pure freaking heat. Heat index is 109 today and was about the same yesterday.

I had my first true dip dream last night. I gave up, ran to 7-11 and got a can. I put the first dip in and didn't feel better so I put a second one in...this went on and on until I had the entire can in my mouth and I still didn't feel good. I started trying to spit it out but got chocked and couldn't get it all out.

I awakened coughing, spitting and chocking and it took me sometime to realize that I was still in bed and had not cheated.

Thanks guys.

About 2 craves yesterday which consisted of me saying out loud: "man, a dip would be nice". laughing and then moving on...

Don't worry, I am saving up the good days to fight the bad one's when they come. Remember, I like suffering so bring it little bitch worm-dirt. I will punch your face into the ground.

Mountain bike ride today, my bike is sick and in the hospital. I was thinking I would get it back last night but I didn't. The shop opens up at 10 am so hopefully I will get it right at 10 since the heat index will be 107 again today.

"a dip would be nice"... ???? Recommend yelling out "FU Dip,,, i dont need your sorry a$$!!" Keep fighting the good fight. Stay quit brother!

Well, I'm not going to lie, that was the exact thought that came to my mind.

No worries, I haven't even come close to caving.

Way to be a bad ass quitter PD.
You are still pretty new to your quit, but I expect you understand what the other quitters are talking about regarding the "a dip would be nice" thought.
To progress and build your quit, the romantisizing and warm fuzzy feelings toward chew need to change. The reality is that lip turd never did anything useful for you beyond keeping you regular. Your addict brain simply associated chew with good times, calming, focusing because stuffing in a new lipper took the withdraw symptoms down a notch.
Any "good" feelings you have about dip are mostly addict-brain lies, the sooner you completely believe that the easier your quit will become...
Keep up the good battle, you are winning!

Not much to report on me, two good days in a row so I am pretty much recharged and ready to fight the Nic Bitch when she raises her ugly freaking head again.

Food is also starting to get a taste again which is a pleasant change.

I sleep more than normal but I'm cool with that, I never slept all that good before.

That's about it for now.

Ahh Yes!! that first string of a few good days in a row. Awesome. You deserve it. Seems like you are on top of this quit. I will share what was shared with me when I reported the same. Use the good days to gather quit nuts for the winter. Read, Read Read in here. Then, when dark days come again, you will be at your quit-strongest.
Enjoy the new nic free flavors the world has to offer, I am quit with you.

PD, I am glad to be quit with you fellow DUCK! It is awesome when you see the plus 1's adding up. Being Nic free is great, eh? Food coming back to life in a way we likely didn't expect....priceless. Keep posting with us cause each you post the more motivated I and other FIPS get! Ducks Fly Together...QUACK!QUACK! 'winker'

Keep up the great work! This isn't easy, but if you just stick with the posting roll first thing each morning, and be a man of your word, even the bad days are better than a good day controlled by tobacco. You are killing it right now. Keep stacking up the days.

Sounds like you deserve some freedom fries! Or freedom toast! Coffee made with a freedom press!

Rock. Chalk. Jayhawk.

I like the Jayhawks better than I like the French....

I hear you on the drinking Raz, I can hold my drinks and I am careful when I do it and I am doing it a lot less than normal. As weird as it sounds, cyclist probably drink more beer than the average person. It's just a normal occurrence to pop a few after a hard ride.

Yesterday was my easiest day yet. Recovery day off the bike which have all been bad so far but not yesterday. A lot of house and pool work which are normally all dip related. Yesterday had had several hours where I didn't think about dipping.

I also ran out of fake dip 3 days ago and never bothered going to the store for more.

I know this is when I need to keep my guard up and I am ready.

2 weeks is huge. Don't look now but we have a quitter here. Your doing it man. Great Job!!! 'clap'

Uh oh. Worktowin is married to a French teacher. And he likes the jayhawks. He and dawg gots little in common. But both do like to drink!

And both qlf!

Man...something must be wrong with you....

Once again, thanks for everything.

Last night was fine and fun, we headed downtown for Sushi and a couple of Martinis and then met some family members in a different town for live music and a couple of beers. The only parking spot at the second joint was directly in front of a Tobacco Shop, I just laughed and said "this must be a tester".

A couple of mild craves at the second bar but nothing too bad. A little hung over feeling today which I find strange as I can normally drink and I had a total of 4 last night.

Funny Work mentioned food tasting better, 8 years ago, when I quit, I remember that too but this time nothing has a taste. I am putting Jalapenos on everything just to taste something. Maybe it's just "off" since it is still early.

BTW...The Jayhawks do suck....

No taste and delusional about the Jayhawks - You MUST be on the mend!

My taste was like yours, nothing had a taste. Taste returns in time bro.

Keep it up man!

Not a jayhawks fan? You obviously have no taste. Just sayin.

Me thinks paradigm is going to be a great addition to this site and go on to do good things here.

Me thinks paradigm needs to lay off the booze for a few weeks till he is a lillte farther along in his quit.
