Title: I quit!!
Post by: painthorse68 on February 13, 2008, 09:57:00 PM
I am on day 5. did not know that giving up that stupid little can was going to be one of the hardest things ever. I have faced hard things before( losing a house in a fire, almost losing an arm in an accident, and recently making the decision to move my family 900 miles for a new job) all of those seem easy compared to the things i am going thru now. It also took quite a while to get to where I am now. I was allergic to the patch and gum(allergic to Nicotine but I wa sputting it in my mouth how is that for ironic), could not take the medicine the doctor said would help the symptoms, so it was cold turkey for me. The symptoms did not start until day 3 off he can so I am dealing with it .But I am determined to make it and will quit for good.

Congratulations!

You seen fire and you've seen rain...........Now you are going through quit hell, with rage, despair, self pity, and rationalization that would make your head spin.

You are quit. You have seen the worst. You need to prepare for the mental battles ahead. This site is the place that can make your quit stick. Use it. Read at www.killthecan.org (http://www.killthecan.org) . Read here. Ask questions, prepare. make a plan. Use the plan if/when you need it.

Welcome. Let me know if I can help.

Painthorse, if that's what it takes right now then that is cool. We can deal with that later.

When you find that web site let me know. I'm up to 5 cans a day (and 2 dozen ding-dongs). :P

I even put all four flavors of hooch in at once. It's not nearly as good as when you do that with slurpees or at a soda fountain.

even the thought of that puts me into a sugar coma. Seriously I seem to only need that when I am at home or driving, at work I can go all day without anything.
