Finally quitting!

[R3bauer]

So it's day 14 as I said. I spent at the Veterans Center and resting my knee. Then when my wife came home we went and got spark plugs for her trailblazer. Then my 15 yo son and I changed them out. A 3 hr job took 2 with both of us doing it. the best part? No dip! Who would've thought I would be able to work on cars and not dip? The quality time with my boy was also great!

Ok...you have my attention R3. Your name is littered all over the intro pages. Supporting others, journaling your quit, and posting roll. 2 weeks in and you're as badass a quitter as they make them. Its this type of activity, dedication, drive, and tenacity that will help you succeed. Keep doing what you're doing and random guys like me take notice. We'll ride that quit train every day with you and make sure you don't fall off.

Congratulations on today!

Thanks. The support of Vets like you help make this a little more bearable!

R3 keep drinkn the kool aid. Keep it up, ODAAT.

So things where going well yesterday until last night at bowling. No I didn't cave. But my bad knee gave out. I collapsed right there on the approach after throwing the ball in the early part of the second game. I felt like a damn fool clutching my leg and writhing in pain in front of half the league.
I hate this damn leg sometimes I wonder if after the 4 surgeries I have had if cutting the damn thing of wouldn't be better! I know probably not but it does cross my mind a lot.
The big thing is I didn't cave I was tempted, tempted to say fuck this and dip after I got hurt but I didn't. I made my promise and stuck to it.

Update: leg is still sore, but feeling a little better. Had a great talk with a new guy and with help from some other members in chat he posted roll tonight. I managed to piss in someone's cheerios, get my wee wee smacked in return and called out a group brother overall I think it was a successful day. 'bang head'

Pissing in someone's cheerios always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.
Sounds like a great day.
Quit hard R3D2, you da man.

I am totally with you. I too am finally quitting after 30 some years. Also a veteran from the Navy and I will do anything to give you my support and encouragement. Because we both want to be around for our kids. I am going to not take one day at a time but minute by minute and absorb myself into this site to get encouragement ad talk to others. I hope you find strength here and through your family support. Its nice to meet you and my name is Kerry. I live in Arizona and also have two grown daughters and 4 grandkids which two of them I raise.
Hang in there and keep fighting every minute of every day and before we know it, it will get easier.

Well I went and did my swim work out. Well half anyway. Lots of people there today tripping my anxiety and honestly didn't really feel up to the full 600 yards but I did something and thats better than not doing anything.

Hell, I remember my first few weeks... I would get so antsy I would go to the mall just to walk around and occupy myself. It's all good, man... you're rewiring and it takes some work. Rock on...

Wow 11 days, 11 days without nicotine. Each day is new record from here on out. I'm ready to see what the day brings. I have bowling tonight and swimming today. So here's goes everything.

Day 10 in the books. It was full of ups and downs.
Ups:
Got out of the house finally
Gave digits to a couple guys in the December group
Posted a lot in different forums
Continuing to pay it forward

Downs:
Argument with my wife
Kids not listening
Lots of craves
Fatigue (not sure if withdrawal or my depression)

All I can do is take it ODAAT. I thank you all for your support.
