Hello All Intro

[Bulldog0311]

Gratz on your 100 days Pavo! Your story is such an inspiration for everyone. I just read everything from front to back and it's a great primer for anyone "planning" to quit. Great quit brother. Keep on going!

[Pavo]

Congrats on 100 days quit pavo!!

Thanks BrianG I can't believe I made the 100 Day Milestone!
If it wasn't for the Sis  Bros here I know I would have caved after a few days just like I have before.

BIG THANK YOU to not only my June Quit Mafia but all at KTC!

Now on to 200 Days. ^_^

Now on Day 8

Starting to see some of my triggers and thought I would share my list:

• Yard  Outside Work
• Filling up the Vehicle with Fuel
• Full Tummy
• being board

Congrats on day 8! Every day is another big victory. It's good you're paying attention to your triggers. Always be prepared to deal with them, distract yourself, find a substitution to replace dip during that activity, etc. Good stuff, see you on here tomorrow!

Some examples of situations where you have lost for decades and are now WINNING, day after day after day:

[*]Yard  Outside Work
[*]Filling up the Vehicle with Fuel
[*]Full Tummy
[*]being bored

Not picking on you dude, but one of the things that I learned in this journey is that the sooner I change my mindset to beating the living shit out of this monster that I carried with me, and celebrating the win of beating that monster, the sooner that I moved from a fight to a win perspective....

You are doing very well sir. Well done.

Day 4 is here...

The Melatonin is working out GREAT as a sleep aid, slept so well last night!

Yesterday had to put some fuel in a vehicle, went to the gas station by myself and filled up and WITHOUT getting a can!
My little Victory!! ^_^

I guess all of the Nicotine is now out of my system and the brain games will start soon time for me to watch out for my triggers.

Many thanks to all for the words of encouragement!!!!!

I smiled when I read that. Damn straight it was a nice victory! That was not easy. Damn proud of you!

It gets better!

Thanks Ready,

I've got to take the little victories ;)

Yes sir. Baby steps. All the little victories add up to a great quit. Know what else was happening? In the back of your mind your promise on roll to not use nic was
coming through strong. Love it!

Day 3 update....

Last night was a much better night as I stated in a previous post I used Melatonin as a sleep aid and it worked GREAT, slept like a baby for 7-8 hours no problem!

When out and picked up some Roasted and Salted Sunflower Seed Kennels and Honey Roasted Nuts, I think I might be part hamster ;) ...

Did some research yesterday, we all know about the nicotine in the can but how about other carcinogens? If you are interested check out this Carcinogens in Copenhagen page. Picked one the the harmful chemicals listed just to remind me why I want to KTC! Check out Radioactive Polonium -- James Bond uses this stuff to take care of his opposing forces quietly. You would think the Nicotine and Radioactive Polonium would be enough for anyone to KTC, but I'm an idiot sometimes...I'll do more reseach on carcinogens later today.

Feel much better this AM, going to go out and get some things done around the ranch to keep my mind off of the can!

Yep, lots of poison in that there can. Really evil stuff!

There are many reasons to quit. I think quality of life will be the best reason. It will greatly improve.

[/quote]Get your head around feeling like crap for a solid few weeks, maybe up to 2 months (and remember this every time you crave! Caving = repeating this crap!). The sh!t side effects are your body showing you just how badly you were poisoning yourself. I too had some sleep issues, but mostly I was just an angry, angry b!tch. :) Killing myself at the gym helped grind my anxiety down and helped me sleep. Lots of people go the Z-Quill route for the first few weeks. I also swear by lithium orotate and l-theanine, both anti-anxiety and both all natural (can be found on Amazon). Take it one day at a time, and reach out to the rest of us with all your questions/concerns. Somebody on this site has been thru the exact same side effect, and can offer help/advise on dealing/treating. Just take it one day at a time, minute by minute if you have to. It does get better, and the pride and sense of accomplishment you'll feel later is amazing. Quit on! [/quote]

Thanks for the suggestions!
Last night I found that Melatolin about 3mg works GREAT to help me sleep.

OK Day 2 -- I'm sure everyone has been though this but I only slept about 2 hours last night and that was on and off...never know they were so many info ads on TV!!

Proud of myself as I went store yesterday by myself and didn't purchase a can! boy did I want to, that was a biggie for me!
Did pick up some sunflower seeds and trail mix which seem to help me. Oh and been drinking a lot of water!

Nah... you didn't really want too... cause you posted your promise on here. You won't let yourself down, much less your quit bros once you've posted your promise. Only a sociopath wants to do that.

Now, you might have had some bad cravings, but you pushed those aside and celebrated WINNING!

Congratulations, sir, on a job well done.

Thanks Work to win for the engorgement!

Day 3 - yesterday wasn't that bad, someone suggested to try Sunflower Seeds and that seems to be working for me but I found the roasted and salted kernels takes my mind off off the cravings.
