Title: Day 3 and counting
Post by: Pancakes on December 10, 2012, 11:13:00 PM
I am 21. I have dipped for 10 months because of a friend that introduced me to it at a previous job. I quit on 12/8/2012. I liked Grizzly primarily. I quit because of money, dip interfering with my fitness, and recurring sores in my mouth. Over the past 2 days, my moods and energy have been at all-time lows and also highs. It makes no sense. I am gaining weight. I have let my diet go but oh well. No one around me really cares that I quit dipping. But my cardio is improving drastically. With every day I have been off dip I have been able to run twice as long and hard as the day before. It gives motivation.

But at the same time the things that used to bring me enjoyment that I also dipped while doing no longer help me. So I am having to find mental refuge in other activities and it is awful and depressing.

You can do this man.

Take a look up at that black bar at the top of this screen. You will see a salmon colored welcome center. Click on that and see what we do here, why we do it, and how we do it. When you"re ready, head on over to march 2013 and post roll.

Please don't bite people after doing weird karate moves.

Waffles, you are in the heat of the battle right now. Remember, this is only a small snap shot of suckiness in your life. You will not always feel this way. Things will get better, trust me.

Everything you are experiencing is commmon most on here have gone through the same crap. Hell, I thought I would never love my wife or kids again because I believed dip made me love them. What a fucking idiot!!!!! Today, 191 days later I can honestly say I love them more than any time in my life...because I am not a slave to nicotine.

Stay close to the site. Continue in chat, read, ask questions, get numebers. You got this shit waffles. I'm here for you anytime.

Stay quit!

I don't have a lot to add, but I do get a chuckle out of the screen name "Pancakes", so I wanted to bump this up the the top of the list again.

Not that it really matters, but MOA posed an interesting observation here. Probably already been explained in your quit group, but still an interesting combination. Regardless.... just stay quit. Reach out if you need any help.

You will continue to see improvements in your health for quite a while. I was amazed. Nicotine is some destructive stuff. Run, my friend..... just keep on running and never look back.
