Almost a week of being quit now. Fog, anxiety, no-focus lifting some. Seem to be almost getting back to a normal routine…just going about the day. Using the fake dip. Weird how it seems to satisfy and calm and relax…all without nicotine. Now that it is out of my body, it's all in my head. Weird stuff.

well done and yes recognize that it is in your head now but YOU are in control. YOU can do what you want and what you are here for and that is to QUIT

so when anything hits, get on the site here and read, type away, contact one of your brothers and sisters.

YOU got this, and I will quit right next to you today.

Keep it up through the weekend Cactus! sounds like things are moving along well enough. You've made it through some of the very toughest times! Keep going one day at a time and reach out if you need help.

Are you making some connections so you can get support if you need it?
Took my freedom back October 23, 2013.

Here's an article that taught me a lot and made me hate the addiction: Nicotine Addiction 101-- newer quitters check it out-- and vets do it too, to breathe new life into your quit!

24 Quitters I have met: Ihatecope, >Pinched<, T-Cell, grizzlyhasclaws, Canvasback, BaseballPlayer, Cbird65, ERDVM, BradleyGuy, Ted, Zeno, AppleJack, Bronc, Knockout, MookieBlaylock, Rdad, 2mch2lv4, MN_Ben, Natro, Lippizaner, Amquash, ChristopherJ, GDubya, Mogul. Each one was a real honor and continues to fortify my resolve to stay QUIT!

One week down. Head outside, look for the tallest building and head for it. Climb to the top and take a good look. Freedom,, smell it, taste it and feel it. Breath in that dignity that you've earned one day at a time. If you made it one week you can damn well bet that tomorrow will be no different. I don't know about you but I'm starting to see the new you and I'm liking her a lot more than the you that had no dignity and was lead around by the poison. Glad to be quit with you.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Yes! Getting lots of support. Trying to give back to others too. Read through the forum every morning after posting roll...sometimes in the evening too if I find the time. Feel like I know some of you guys. And I do know you all got my back.

I'll be heading out for the desert - breathe the free breath of dignity up on the hills and down in the gullies. It is a grand thing...I like the new woman too. A whole week. Am glad you are quit with me. I will stay quit with you every day.

Keep the posts coming every once in a while Cactus! It's good to read that you are enjoying being free! Helps all the rest of us quitters! And if you hit rough patches, lets us know you may need some support.

Glad to quit with you!
