I saw a post this morning before work..but I didnt have a chance to reply on it and I cant find it again. But the person was at about a 7 days on their quit, and talking about seeing alot of "doom and gloom" here at the site. Here is, based on my recent experience what I theorize:
I think at about 6-7 days. The mind starts seeing things different. I mean looking back now, at what I posted and what triggered it, To be honest, was really trivial. I think during this time period, I may have been, sub-consciously, seeking what appeared to be negative outcomes. Well, I guess it is the mind trying everything it can to get what it craves. Twisting, Turning, distorting. That would be the nicodemon part of our mind. It is something that reared it's ugly head at about a week.
So now, when I see that someone struggled and had a momentary slip, it doesnt mean it is going to happen to me. And if it did I will follow these brave people's example and get back on with it.
Anyway I wanted to end this thread on a positive outcome, and look forward to heck week being done---Kevin
