Good job on taking the patchs off they prolong the worst of the suck i know this from experience. The anxiety and crazy had that also at 90 days its improved much. I found mindfulness meditation can help with some of the anxiety. Look it up if you can keep an opened mind.

I'll add one more thing about the wife. I truly do not believe she is any less proud than you are. If she's like mine, she's just very guarded in her willingness to show you how proud she is because she won't believe this quit will stick for oh, probably about a year. In her mind, you being quit a week is like you saying you will give her a foot massage every day for the rest of her life. She doesn't really believe you until you prove it for a while. I'm 37 days and my wife is still VERY guarded in her belief of me. And I don't blame her a bit.

Great point. Hadn't thought about it that way before, thanks.

just remember...quitting is 95% mental and 5% everything else. I was at least a can a day for 24 years and walked away cold turkey thanks to the tools I got here and the pure , uncut, nut check that I gave myself.

NOTHING is unattainable if you are willing to work hard enough to achieve it.

It sounds like your kicking some ass in this quit, proud to be quit with you and pm me for my digits anytime. never let up and never look back. I like to say that my quit is not a matter of life and death...its WAY more important than that.

How's the quit going, Brad?

can't believe I made it a week. Never realized insomnia would be this bad. Almost flew off the handle at a coworker today with an intensity that scared even me, Got to tell the wife I'd passed three days with no dip, and realized that I was prouder of me than she was. ( in fairness to her I spent the last 12 years trying to hide it from her.)

Also realized today that I have spent the last 22 years planning every aspect of my life around how/when I can get a dip in.

And I think that my brain is trying to play mind games with me to get me back on nic. "Hey, Hey Brad! Remember when you 1st started dipping and you left one in too long? and puked? and puked again? Since you haven't had any for a week how long do you think you would have to have a dip in before you got sick? lets see... go get a can.... we'll call it a science experiment."

Yep. All part of the journey dude.

Here's something good to remember... you'll never have to relive these 7 days again. Ever.

22 years of lose. 7 days of win. Has a nice ring to it.

Regarding the wife, people who aren't addicts cannot comprehend why this is so difficult. This is another good reason for a site like KTC - you don't have to tell all of us how much this sucks, we totally get it.

The insomnia will pass, but oh how it sucks until it does. You have done such a great job slaying this beast, hang in there!

Hi Brad.

You've made the first step. The second is very important. Post roll in your group. (KillTheCan. Online Community/Community/Quit Groups/October 2017 Quit Group). Don't worry if you screw up the roll right now, just get your name on the list. I know it sounds super lame and corny. 1,649 days ago I thought the same thing. Haven't missed a day since, and I won't. It is easier to quit as a team than it is alone. And it is a lot harder to cave and give up on 100 guys going through the same thing at the same time you are than it is to give up on yourself. There will be days that posting roll and giving your word will save your quit. You've got nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

Post roll and let's do this!
