Hey guys and gals,
Got 16 days in, the physical part was pretty well over with but the mind games got me. I hate the fog, Day 10 and 11 were by far the roughest and then I decided to drink a few beers on day 16. With drinking came dipping and now here I am at the start again. I had got on here once previously just to read the "what to expect" portion and prepare myself and also validate that what I was going through was normal, some members urged me then to log on daily and post my promise and I guess I should have, and maybe I wouldn't have ended up here. I plan on hopefully cleaning up quite a few aspects of my life along the way and just taking it a day at a time. Hopefully I can grow spiritually through all of this as well. Thanks for reading, If anybody wants to be in close contact and keep accountability it would be greatly appreciated, just give me a shout and I can relay my number so if either of us need to talk in a pinch we can.
Thanks,
Tyler M.

Tyler, we all post daily because other options didn't work for us either.
Also get to know your fellow quitters, exchange digits, and build a network of quit.
Plus.... you might want to stay away from alcohol for a while. It's ok, all part of healing.

Today is my day 1, i quit once before for about a year all it took was a small dip off a guy at work and 8 years later I am trying to i quit again. I am almost nine hours in and i am very angry and irritable. If you want to help each other let me know!

Day 2
So far not terrible, I think my hardest part is about a week in, I get the fog and just become miserable. I have just been a little aggravated lately but I think posting yesterday was a good step, several times when I got a craving I just thought about my commitments here, to myself, my family, my future, and everyone on this site. Right now I am on leave from work with a new daughter. I think when I go back to work I will be posting with a different attitude. I anticipate a pretty hard struggle because I always enjoyed a pinch while working. Just taking it a day at a time. And nomore your right I will abstain from drinking. I had quit drinking for about 3 years until just a year or so ago and just very casually drink now, but I'll put it to the side for awhile, seems to be a pretty strong trigger for me.
Thanks for chiming in guys,
Tyler
