New to Site 10/31/16 Quit Date

[FISHFLORIDA]

Congrats on 3/4! Awesome. Proud to be quit with you.

[Steakbomb18]

Today is my 75th day without nicotine. 3/4 to HOF. One of the hardest days yet. I had some tough craves. I came To the site and to the chat and just unloaded. My stepson has been a little bitch lately, been lying, probably drinking, cursing in front of his mom and me. Has had me pissed off and stressed out. Wanted to ring his neck. Thankfully, had the opportunity to trade some stories with folks, get some advice, reminisce about our teen years. Calmed me down a lot. Thanks to all who helped.

This place can be so much more than about tobacco if you let it...

Note to myself when I come back to read this. If you are not still posting roll, you are a fucking idiot, even if you are still quit and have not caved. You are an addict. That's not going to change. You went 75 days without it. 72 days with none in your system. Here you are still dealing with cravings and triggers.

Always Remember Day 1.

Some of the best friends, hardest workers, smartest people I know are from this site. You nailed it.

By the way, 75 is a notoriously difficult time. Some good days are ahead.

Viking,...you get it brother. Some people think they get it, but they don't really get it.

If you are not still posting roll, you are a fucking idiot, even if you are still quit and have not caved. You are an addict. That's not going to change.

This.

I also know how I'll live out the rest of my days, whether it is through today or 60 years from now, it will be without tobacco and it's because of so many of you helping me along! my family and I are and always will be eternally grateful to KTC.

That's all. Thanks and quit on!!!!!

Keep posting those +1's brother. Hell of a quit working there.

Keep it up man! ODAAT! Proud to quit with you and lucky to have connected with you. My quit thanks you!

I am really enjoying your journal, Viking. Cave dreams are really unsettling, aren't they? In a way they are a useful tool though because they provide a glimpse into just how horrible you will feel if you ever really did cave.

Stay strong and keep up this really fantastic quit you've got going.

[Viking]

Day 45 today and this morning I was doing some work and I all of a sudden got hit with some very intense cravings. Sucked ass, really. The cool thing was I was not worried that I was going to cave because I posted roll and I feel like I have the tools necessary to let this pass, those tools being quit brothers/sisters. So I texted about 8 people or so, knowing that only a handful would be able to respond because of work, family, meetings, whatever, that's fine, that's why I texted 8 people because I knew I might hit 25%.

That's why it helps so much to have phone numbers. Seriously, just getting those texts back helped calm my nerves knowing that others were out there fighting the same battle with me, others were out there that had gone through this, and others were out there who beat the cravings.

Drome suggested that I read some HOF speeches. Great suggestion and it worked. I read a handful of them, because like all of you, I've got shit to get done at work, but just taking that 10 minutes to read those few really calmed me down.

I am down right 1000% committed to the quit, I have all of you to help, and she is still fucking with me. Unfortunately, there is just no way to avoid the lies and deceit. That's why we have to have the tools KTC teaches us when this shit happens.

Quit on!

So... on day 45 how does it feel to be a winner? How many days did you lose a daily battle again, Viking? 6,570? Today you met the same opponent head on and you fucking owned it! So... how does that feel?

Pretty damn sweet I'm guessing.

That sounds about right. Some 6,000 days with some stoppages but never quit.

It feels awesome. Honestly there is nothing better than the freedom from the addiction. It has improved my outlook on every aspect of my life. I will always be an addict but I'll never be a slave again

So today is my 40th quit day and I've been writing and texting about this dip dream I had. Seriously just a dream, didn't shit my quit away, but it was so real it sure felt like it. Felt like I let all you down, my family down, and most importantly myself. Kept telling myself it wasn't real. Didn't matter, logic and reason didn't work so much. I felt guilty. I felt ashamed.

I had a victory today in my eyes. I stayed quit. I didn't run back to the can. I posted roll early. I texted a bunch of people. I wrote here. I feel much much better.

You've all seen my posts. Some days I am positive, other days I have piss and vinegar, other days I feel like a little bitch. ill be what I need to be except soft on you when you don't drink the kool-aid. Days like today are the exact reason I spend so much time here. I had the tools this morning to get through the shit without caving.

This is why I ride some of you to post early. It means the whole damn world to me to see you stay quit. It scares the piss outta me that you post late and don't drink the kool-aid and I worry that you will have the tools you need to succeed when this happens to you because I promise you it will.

It is life and death. Post early and every day. Stay very involved so that you develop the tools you need to succeed when the going gets tough.

NFC North quitters rule!

Wow! I'm definitely liking the smell of quit in here! As my brother Rawls says alot. Very mature in your early quit. Keep moving forward, stay ahead of the bitch she still has alot of tricks up here sleeve!

Big accomplishment Viking! Proud of you! I'm not sure if you shared this in your group as well as others but, if you haven't copy and paste this in different groups. Job well done!
