Hi, I've been dipping for 20years. It's hard to believe how fast they go by. I was 18 when someone offered me a dip. You can't go backwards so only one direction! Straight ahead

good call russell...read all you can around here. Knowledge is power against an addiction. Keep in mind...you will always be an addict. But you don't have to feed that addiction. We quit one day at a time here. If you can accept those things then you will be successful.

Dude... let's keep your responses to your original thread. No need to start a new topic every time. This way you can keep a journal/diary of how things go and have it all in one spot.

Rock on...

Thanks everyone. Day one is hard!!! I don't know if I want to run a 5k, rip someone's face off, or take a nap. Trying to stay busy to keep my mind from roamin. I am taking it an hour at a time.

Do the all if that's what it takes. Drink a metric ton of water, some recommend cranberry juice. Work out helps, too. Fruit was my crutch early on.

Hi Russell, you are just like he rest of us. An addict, weather 2 years or 30. Good advice has been given. Be strong and just set your goal for the next hour. I'll quit with you and PM me if I can help.

Day 3 is hard, but day 4 is a little better and day 5 will be better than that. 7 days for me now Russell, and I have to say - it is much easier. Seems like i got over the hump at about day 4 or 5. Now each day is a little easier. Keep on plowing through - you can do this.

Welcome. You know what 3 days means my friend?!?! That's 3 days you haven't went down to the corner store and spent your hard earned money on something that takes until there is nothing left. Embrace the suck and replace the tears with dignity and freedom.

Own this quit brother. Sure, it's gonna suck for a while, but it's worth every second to regain the freedom and dignity you've lost. The poison has stolen health, family time, dignity, freedom, money and your integrity. Keep taking it back one day at a time.

3 days means you can make it 4. This is how it works, one day at a time. My worst day quit is better than my best day using.

Think of this day as the day of reckoning. This is the last day the poison will be running through your veins. Tomorrow will be a new beginning. It will mean that you no longer have the poison running through your blood and your brain can now do what it's wanted to do for years. HEAL! Your body and brain thanks you my friend. Far to long you have given in to the poison and been lead around by a chain.

After today it will be all mental. You weren't meant to be lead around by a can of dirt. Embrace the suck and lets do this. All you have to worry about is today, that's all you have to get through. We'll worry about tomorrow when it gets here. Need a number let me know.

I really like this from sixer.

"Remember all the reasons you came to the site".

Read sixer intro. He's not to far from your quit date. If he can do this there is no reason you can't. This is a fine day to be quit. Happy Easter.

Day 4!!! I feel pretty good, but man the cravings suck. I know it is all mental now and I can get past that.

Post by: Russell on April 21, 2014, 03:40:00 PM
I know I'm on day four but it seems like day one. I'm sure it is because I am back at work today where everyone pretty much has that shit in their mouth. I am staying focused on my job and not socializing. any tips to dealing with co-workers? Do you ignore them ? I guess this is the real test. thanks for the support guys!! I am quit!

Its pretty hard to ignore or avoid being around it. You've got to just meet it head on and say no thanks today. Each little victory will make you stronger and day by day things slowly start to get better. You have to hang around long enough to see the good things start to happen. You got this.

Very normal, do try to make sure anyone close to you at work understands you r quit and you want them to respect that. They won't quit doing it in front of you but may at least be more discrete. Some may even tease or taunt you, so b ready for that too and try to keep clear of those fuckers. You can do this. Hell u r doing this, I quit with u.
