Well guys just let me start off by saying that i am an irritable, on edge, and probably a horrible person to be around right now. But honestly i would rather be in this spot than with a big ole lipper in spitting in my empty bottle of vitamin water. It's day 2 and this is the best thing i could do for ME. I have been chewing/smoking cigs for 6 years now. I have tried quitting in the past but that's worked real well as you all can tell. I also had been planning my quit for a few months and weening my self off of it. I finally decided enough was enough and i threw it out and here i am now.
A little about my self i am 21 and a college student who is taking a semester of to be an engineer in a paper mill. I love my job but I can tell you that my job can be damn stressful sometimes. I am really big into hunting, fishing, and riding my motorcycle. I am really excited to start this journey to a tobacco free life but right now things are a little rough.
One day atta time,
Eric
Alright brother, a lot of those things you enjoy are going to be triggers for you. I will assume that you would usually dip doing most of them, (I know I sure as hell did). What you must understand now is that right now, this moment, you are NOT who you used to be. You are QUIT. it's not just something you have done, it is a lifestyle you MUST become. That means, there will be things that you used to do, that you will need to sit back from until you are ready to handle them dip free.
I really like how you are "doing it for me". This is for NO ONE else. Others may benefit from your quit, but this is YOURS. You must work for it. You owe it to yourself. And you must NEVER let anyone deprive it of you.
This is WHO we ARE. We are QUIT. Now you are too.
Guard it with your life, cuz this is a LIFE issue. You have my number, and you darn well better use it!
There is tons of wisdom throughout this site. Dig around. Find it. Read it. Learn it. Live it.
Damn proud to be quit with you!!!
