MY quit is strong. I do not want to use again.

Downside -
My energy levels are shit, and my motivation has gone to hell. Not sure if this is some sneaky part of quitting, but this isn't like me at all.
Yes, it is a normal thing. It takes time to rewire your brain to run without nicotine and your second month does drag on. It will get better.

My motivation...

My 20 year old Daughter sent me a snapshot of something she posted on her twitter account...

"I'm so proud of my Dad he's been dipping since he was 12 and is now nicotine free from what was the equivalent of smoking 4 packs a day."

I am quit today, you can bet your ass I will be quit tomorrow.

Whatever it takes bro, just stay quit!

Got my full blown workout back today. Feels good to do it for the first time not being wired on nicotine. Sleep is starting to improve, every day it's getting easier.

BEST DECISION I EVER MADE.
Good stuff freebe. Keep your quit on. Lots of water, workouts and walks for me helped in the beginning. Glad you're feeling better. Me too. Just be careful. Don't let your guard down.

I'm quit with you today and tonite. Looking forward to posting roll with my November Zombies tomorrow

Been working outside a good bit today, apparently that's a huge trigger for me...all I can think about is getting a dip. Good to know I suppose.
Go get some fake or whatever and get this done. Man up grab your sac and kick this bitch to the curb! No one said this was easy. I quit with you today my friend!
Quitting is the only option. I am WAY past due in getting this sickness out of my life.

Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

Thanks for the support!

I'm feeling pretty good today. Got up made a big breakfast for the family, went for a run to sweat out last nights beer. All in all, I think I'm looking forward to a fun weekend. Nicotine free, feeling strong.

Thanks everyone at KTC, this is what I need to keep building momentum.

OK this is my first shitfaced no nic since I was like 12.


Brother's I go this.
Glad you're on the boards bro instead of banging that can. Make sure you have some digits at your fingertips so that temptress doesn't come get you when the boards are slow. Nice job on the victory, but be careful bro.

Feeling nervous and a bit on edge today...almost like a mega boost of energy, but not sure where to use it.

Craves are what they are, they come and they go. The nerves seem to be sticking around. Either way, feeling good, am focused, will get past this bump in the road.

-freebe
We've all been there, embrace the suck it will get better. Use that energy to exercise,have sex with olé lady,whatever. Quit on my brother, you're doing great!
You can now use the newfound energy for something positive. Exercise, lift weights, etc. The nerves might stick around for awhile, it's just your body trying to figure out how to operate with a dose of poison to keep you regulated. You're winning the battle and reprogramming your brain to operate on oxygen again instead of dip.

Nice job powering through freebe and keep going, you won't regret it.
