Today is day 94, and I feel like the funk is leaving me. It started about day 80, I actualy thought about dip all day yesterday, I didnt want one, but I was thinking about it all freaking day. I dont know what happend, but I feel better this morning. Today I promise not to use nicotine in any form, If the urges, or cravings come back and are to strong for me to handle alone, I promise that I will pick up the phone and start reaching out. Or glue my ass in chat room where I know Tarpon and SirDerek will be waiting for foggy or funky fucks like myself to stroll in and need a hand. I got to give it to those guys, They seem to always be there when somebody needs them 'oh yeah' Â
QLF EDD ODAATÂ ;Ironman:
p.s. March 2014 is badass
Stay stong today Winter green! Let nothing get in the way of your quit. I am quit with you all day long!
I just spent the last hour reading of your journey of the last (almost) 1 year. There are some serious lessons to be learned from this read. I have been hearing a lot about this "funk lately" so I went back and looked at "What to Expect When You Quit Dipping"
Days 70 – 90 – Late term craves, the doldrums, the blahs, the blues. Some people end up feeling like they are right back at day 1. The fog, the haze, the craves. It can be a tough time. You need to let people in your group know this is happening. Time to circle the wagons to get through it. It usually only lasts a few days. Fight through this and make sure your order your Commemorative HOF Knife or Coin.
Fuck really? Day 1 again.....shit! SOB, been enjoying this Day 59 high. My encouragement? It is short lived and those before have survived and thrived through it. You are real active on this site, chat, etc. You have been and are an inspiration to my quit and motivation, especially after reading your entire intro, and understanding just how vigilant I need to be with the 70-90 day range quickly approaching. Hopefully, you will now get a little:
Days 90 – HOF – Houston, resume the countdown. Enjoy the hell out of these last 10 days. You will be celebrating with your group as you all enter the HOF. It is a great feeling and an accomplishment you should not take lightly. Do something special for yourself and your family. They put up with your sorry ass for the last 90 days and they deserve something too.
I thrive on the success of those before me. I am my own person, but let me assure you, your success is important to me. Your posts and encouragement are a part of my quit. Caving is NOT an option, make sure you keep it off the damn table. You serve a much higher role here being and remaining quit on this site.
I quit with you today and every day.
Had a pretty good funk at about 75 to 85 days too.....pushed through and then poof it was gone....HOF is no Magic number, just another day of quit. However, it does keep getting better. Proud to be quit with you
Thanks for writing this WG. It is so cool that so many of our stories are the same. Its nice to get a "heads up" from others that have gone before us. I too, had my worst funk right around day 80. It lasted a few days and since everything has been "unicorns and rainbows" I have been warned by a lot of vets about the post HOF Funk and Letdown. You are gonna sail right onto the train and just keep plowing along. You are ;Ironman:
You all are doing great. Knowledge is power, keep reading and learning...
See this ^^^^ ? With this kind of guys guiding us along, we're all in good hands. W G you have a great quit going here, and you have the tools ready, as you should by the time you hit HOF. Now you'll have to not get complacent, and you'll get some funks that will help remind you to be on guard. Very proud to quit with you, and all the rest in this thread!
Excellent, W G!!!
Complacency Sucks! Way to go WG.
Hey, wow. Lots of responses, now who says this site doesn't have freaking awesome support? Well today has been a great day, no funk, no fog. I been chit chatting with a few guys by text and Im back in the swing of things, I know not to let my guard down, Ill always be ready, or have a quit plan tucked under my sack incase I get blind sided with a crave, urge, temper or the deadly " just one " syndrome. I will not get complacent, and I will post roll every damn day without fail. Slow that train down Mogul, Dave and Grizz, you are in March territory, and we demand a ride!! And I dont want to sit first class, I want to be back with the rest of you rowdy fucks toasting glasses and raisin hell!!!
