Congratulations on the first floor!!
You can't build a solid quit on a broken foundation so everyday I'm building new blocks.....

So a little update:

I continue to struggle with illness and several admissions to the hospital since having a small mass removed from my tongue. In the last few weeks, I have been in and out of the hospital a few more times. I have a extremely swollen lymph node to my right tonsillar node, severe tongue pain and jaw/throat pain. I lost my appetite last week and struggle to keep food and liquids down. I am currently down 30 pounds since August. I continue my quit journey everyday, spending every second I can with my wife and daughter. As of now there is no new news on what is the culprit. I go back for further test and scans on Thursday. I guess no news is good news. We stay positive and enjoy life everyday.

Stay Quit!!!

Alex my friend, you have a great attitude and no matter what every second of life is special so continue to cherish every moment of time with loved ones. We're not promised tomorrow but we damn sure can look forward to it. Some people give up at the least little disturbing or troubling news and that is not what good Lord put us here to do. God bless you and yours, prayers to you.
ROLL TIDE ROLL! God, Family and crappie fishing! I will always be an addict, but hopefully never a slave again!

Just one and you will be back where you started.

And where you started was desperately wishing you were where you are right now.

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!

Hey everyone, so I figured I would update everyone on what has been going on with my health. After a long time with no answers we have determined that the cause of everything was an infection from the tongue mass that ended up causing it to spread to my blood stream. I have not had pain for 21 days now, appetite is back and I am feeling like myself again. My anxiety is a little more intense since this scare of a lifetime but I am on some good medications to help with that. Despite the sickness, the hospital stays (and bills) and pain, I continued to get my occasional visit from the Nic Bitch. Its crazy, despite everything, the cravings were still there. I am an addict and will always face temptation, but I have my game plan, my support, my family, this site and my STDs of September 2016 to help me through it. Happy Holidays everyone and happy quits!
