Title: First Post
Post by: SullyNC on March 02, 2017, 11:41:00 PM
Its my first post and I just finished day two of my quit. Been dipping for nearly 17yrs.

I managed all day, at work, exercised and chugged water. It helped.

Its funny, i was worried about mornings, coffee, routines at work, and obvious triggers. But the hardest time is at night. Kids in bed, had a nice supper, wife dozed off. Normally id have one right after supper. And another one (or two) in bed while we watch tv. Its the quiet. Its when youre alone with your thoughts and the addiction starts serving up some pretty believable rationalizations.

I read this site a bit before quitting. Its helpful but i never thought id post. But tonight I think KTC kept me from giving in during those quiet moments. So, thanks.

Head over to June 17 post roll and begin your Killthecan Accountability with them. Lots to learn and a ton of great Quitters to rely on here.

Awesome job starting the journey on your own. Listen to Backwoods this is hard. Hardest thing I've ever done. You're going to need some brothers to help you through so head on over to June 17 and post your promise. They won't bite hard. I found KTC on day 3 and am thankful for it. I posted day 121 today, never ever in prior quit attempts was I able to make it this far. Dive in....my digits are a PM away if you want them.
