Decided to write a little piece into my log/journal of quit today. Sitting at 62 days clean of nicotine gives me a lot of joy and gratitude. But with that I've come to realize the road to freedom is long and and at times treacherous. The best part of it is you can do anything for 24 hours.

The last few weeks have been challenging. The mental aspect in many ways can be as excruciating as the physical and mind games at the beginning. With that I'm grateful for my quit brothers and sister! They have been the glue to keep it together. I also have came clean as the ninja dipper I was to my wife. Gave up my stash spots, where I went and how I pulled it off. It went great! Life is getting back to what I consider normal. Each day I am quit I realize the grip on life nicotine has on people. I have a bunch of people in my life that still dip. I hope that they become ready to quit, so I can direct them to a place like this. But I know they have to be ready for themselves! Any-how Quit on!
very nice job in coming clean as that is a weight that is not necessary to be held to oneself.

keep on with that bond in your group, use them for anything so that you know for certain that you all are there for one another as there does come times when they are needed, and not just for quitting nicotine.

be good my friend.
Thanks SD!

Your right, ninja dipping is a weight in itself. I had to come clean once she clued in on my texting and chatting. I busted her looking at my phone when I got out the shower. Lol, she was seeing if I had a side slice I guess. At that point I had to put it out there!

Nonetheless, Thankful for the Vets that are willing to impart support in whatever means necessary to keep folks quit! Have a great day friend!
Awesome post enav. The burden that has been lifted off your chest must feel awesome. Freedom. You're not a slave today. Keep quitting, keep posting roll, and it just will continue to get better and better.
Awesome post Enav. I went thru the same painful conversation with my wife. Actually the most painful part was starting it. After that it was such a relief to have it out in the open that the convo went really well. Glad it went well for you. Freedom is a beautiful thing both physically and mentally.

Nice Job!
Yessir, that burden being lifted makes it easier. I am glad of it, and glad for the support!

Posting this at day 31 today. Each day is better and better support and friends I've made along the way are incredible. They are a true blessing. Today is special to me because it's the first birthday I've spent nic free in around three years. The best gift I feel that I have is one of my own choice and free will. The monetary value is to be considered but mainly the freedom could never have a price laid upon it. With that I consider being nic free that best birthday gift that I could have. So as I consider this I am thankful for the many BAQ's that I consider brothers and sisters and grateful that we can together kick this addiction in the grill every day together!

Much love and appreciation from dis cat from down da' bayou!

Elton
Happy Birthday with many more to come, proud to be quit with you this time around the sun!
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

On to day 19...
Each day is a continual reflection of the last for me! So far 19 is better than 18. I am thankful to have fell into a great quit group in October. I've learned to rely on them for support and also offer support. Realizing especially this quit isn't all about me. Going to the top of the mountain isn't as fun as if you drag as many up there as you can. I'm thankful to have a few nic free days behind me. Those are the jewels that keep me pressing forward, having sacrificed many nic free days for a cave in the past. One thing I find interesting is how this addiction affects all so similarly. We have the same attitude when we fail and come back. The inner nic addict is so cunning and arrogant. But internally we know this process can work. I've lived and seen seen it a lot over the last few weeks. And have come to realize that the harsh talk is what the nic addict needs to hear. As I progress I can only be thankful for those who reached down and picked me up "with those harsh words". Because the realist in me knows it's what I needed. Today I remain humbled and greatfull for the network of BAQ that I've come to call friends, my brothers and sisters! ODAAT we will keep pimp slappin' the nic whore!
Hadn't read this intro until now...what a roller coaster heh? But this, is a great journal of quit. We have all the elements...forced quit...caving...attitude adjustment...and ultimately the making of one badass MF'n quitter. Early in this quit you are illustrating a motto of mine that I realized about 2 months in. Seeing yourself, the addict, through the eyes of a quitter. Making that revelation can knock you flat on your ass; it's powerful, and you are journaling that revelation. Keep it up bro.
Thanks brother. I hoped that others that research this site may click on some intros and as you said look at mine and see what the mind does over time. Especially that of a nicotine addict from the time of full blow withdrawal to once it's out of the system. I've watched others come in with the same disposition. Everybody's billy badass not wanting to hear a word until you are flat on your back with no where else to turn. I'm a example of that. Maybe it can spare some others a little anxiety. Lol, probably not because the nic bitch is fighting hard for control over the first week or so... But anyway glad to have stuck it out and not let the nic bitch persuade my ego to do otherwise. Egos gotta be checked at the door!
