Hello, my name is Tyler, I just turned 33 and I've been dipping consistently since I was 18. I have substituted in cigarettes and vaping, always with the mentality of "Well stepping down to this will surely help me quit!" and it never does of course. On Sunday 12/17 as I finished my last can of Kodiak I decided this needed to be it. Monday morning and all this week I woke up and cancelled my daily routine of going to the gas station to get a can. I work from home and so many times a day all I can think about is "Well maybe just once and then i'll start quitting again", and i'll put my keys in my pocket, and get ready to head out the door to go up the street to cave in to my addiction. And I always stop myself. This is the first time I've been able to stop myself. It's been 5 days of that, I've been eating candy canes(rainbow cherry season is the best season) and taking a lot of walks. I found this site today as reading about quitting has helped me stay on track so far during my bad moments, and it's been helpful to read all the stories and see the support on here. A big thank you to all of you who put in the time to support each other and make this happen it's really inspiring to me and gives me a lot of motivation.
