congrats!!!
Nice one Erik!!!
Yeah man. Every day is a small victory
It won’t feel like that at first.
Feels like eternal soul torture
But it’s a good thing.
Precisely! It does feel like torture sometimes, and it’s been over two years. But it’s totally worth it.

finally got a call back on a job tonight. thank goodness, i was getting ready to fall off my rocker with 3 months off work. and they do random drug tests so some incentive to stay clean
Also, if withdrawal and getting clean were easy, we'd have done it a long time ago, you know?
Going through this really means how strong of a person you are.
Only 5% of people end up staying clean from smoking tobacco (these statistics came out before vaporization became more commonplace; but I have a feeling the actual number didn't and won't change much over time); and I have a feeling heroin, meth, etc. may have similar dismal recovery rates.
Many more people end up dying from overdoses and what not, so it's a spectacular feat. It might not feel like you're an Olympic gold winner or anything but really you're excelling where many other people don't (rediscovering will power, self restraint, etc.).
Work schedule has changed so I have to find another home group :/. Makes me sad as I've had the same for 3 years.
Tobacco free 10 months now and coming around to 6 years clean in January. Life is OK these days though I hate trig/pre Calc. The struggles today aren't nearly as bad as my struggles some years ago.
Leaving a good group is rough. But damn, that's a stack of serious accomplishments.
