So here I am at day 18. Things have gotten a little easier, but I still have the dip dreams and catch myself sometimes trying to think I've earned myself one dip - which is of course bullshit. When I start thinking like that I remember the first 5 days of my quit and how absolutely miserable they were, and tell myself one dip is not worth going through all that shit again. My cravings aren't as bad as they have been but I have noticed I'm still a lot more irritable and on edge than normal, hopefully that will end soon.
Anyway just thought I'd give an update. Certainly couldn't have made it this far without KTC and all the support from everyone on here. Stay strong guys.
It does get better and easier.
You're doing the right thing ODAAT.
For craves, Cbird recommends placing penis in nearest desk drawer and slam it shut. End of crave.
You got this brother. NAFAR.
Cheers.
The irritability faded for me after about a month, then it raged back last week in me and was worse than ever. However, I made it through without hurting or maiming anyone.
If quitting was easy, there would be no KTC, no large bonuses for the execs at US Tobacco...
Then again, nothing that is easy to get has as much worth as those items that are painful or tough as hell to get. Earn this quit daily, post, promise, repeat...life will continue to happen around you; the best you can do is nut up and make it what you want it to be.
I have never tried ole cBird's trick but I will take his word that it works. I do burpees when I get a craving. To each their own though
