Good job on your day 23. Get ready for some pretty bad fog and craves around the 40-60 day marks. When I hit that area of my quit I thought I had lost my mind. Crazy anxiety and just generally feeling crappy. Power through and it get's better. Today is my 101 and I have never felt better in my life. I ran 3.5 miles yesterday and still had wind left when I was done. Not bad for being 43 and not having run in over 20 years. I never had wind like I do now. I thought only smokers suffered shortness of breath. If you are interested read my HOF speech, our stories sound very similar: http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=4649 If you need a swift kick in the ass, PM me any time and we can talk! |

Good job! You are turning the corner. Going from, I can't do anything without my dip to, I can do everything without my dip and it is more fun. It keeps getting better. Parputt is correct in identifying some bumps in the road, but overall it just keeps getting better. Stay the course, One day at a time. PM me if you need anything. |

"I can smell and taste better than ever" My day 3 was strange for a lot of reasons (fog!!!, no sleep, craves, etc) but I had this strange sensation I couldn't place. I was smelling everything VERY strongly. I thought there was no way nicotene could have been deadening my sense of smell?? Day 4-same damn thing. My sense of smell has multiplied and I notice a lot of things around me that I had never really payed attention to before. Damn! I had to clean my bathroom pronto! I am not convinced at all that being able to smell better is a good thing. Guess I will just have to deal with that one day at a time as well... Today I posted Roll Call and today I am Quit. Peace |

I have had the same feelings, right about the same time in my quit. The biggest difference for me in this quit as opposed to other attempts in my life? The MINDSET I had. It sounds like you've got it. Keep it up brother. It just keeps getting better. Stay strong. Stay Quit! |

Keep it up. Now we are addicted to quitting. I just hit the 100 day number and have been battling the cave impulse like crazy the last few days. Times when I hated dip came and went but I chose to keep using for years anyway. Now I chose not to regardless of my feelings. Again keep it up. I don't worry that I may desire dip now until the end of my life. I do know that a few months in I'm a much better dad because I'm not ignoring my kids to spend some quality alone time with the grizz. |

Just a note, I kissed my wife everyday for 15 years without her knowing if i had one in or not. Now that i am 106 days quit. I don't have to worry about being busted. Congrats for the desire to quit and don't forget that we all our addicts quitting one day at a time. In time it does get better, however remember it is a battle and the war is yet to be won. Congrats again and good luck. I understand how hard it is to see baseball coaches dip when you no longer dip. It is one of the hardest things to do, however with the power of staying quit anything is possible. |

Damn. I have been struggling more than ever the last few days. FUCK! The nic-bitch has been perched on my left shoulder for about 4 days now, whispering in my ear, telling me how one can of grizzly won't hurt me. The bitch keeps reminding me about all the times we'd spent together. This morning I was reading a bunch of posts on KTC, thinking about the nic-bitch on my left shoulder. Each time I read another post, something happened...the KTC angel on my right shoulder grew stronger & louder than before. Telling the nic-bitch to shut the fuck up, then telling me to tell the nic-bitch to be cool...like..."bitch, be cool"...you know like Jules would say. Next thing I knew, the KTC angel when straight Road House on the nic-bitch. That was cool. KTC is like the Chuck Norris of Support Groups. My theropy is rambling as I type. |
