It's been 48 hours since I quit. I'm 42 and have been roughly a can of Kodiak a day since 16. I had one dip 22 hours after my quit time, but nothing since. The pure fog/dizzyness has lifted, now I'm in the nervous energy slightly fogged stage. Really want to go Mountain Biking but it's a drive. And I'm not sure driving is a good idea for me right now. I may just curl up and watch some movies.
This sucks. Plain and simple. But well worth it. Good luck to all the newbs.
This site can help you kick your nicotine addiction (not a habit) to the curb. We don't use words like try or hope as they are just another excuse for our addictive brains to tell us another lie. There are no short cuts, but here are some links that will help you navigate this site.
This a NO NICOTINE site. End of discussion.Quitter or Stopper?
Best thing to do is get familiar with this site and start building your quit defense.
Highly recommend you go here: Welcome Center, Getting Acclimated, What to Expect Top Ten List
Welcome to KTC. We quit one day at a time (ODAAT). Your word is your bond. Promise daily not to use, work the program, and you will succeed. Be sure to thoroughly read everything that Cbird has laid out for you.
I used Kodiak everyday of my life from 16 to 41. I promised myself every day that I would stop... but the next day I did it again. Until I joined KTC... that is when I QUIT. 500 days ago I told Kodiak to get out of my life.
Post your promise every day in your quit group (August 2014.) That is the month when you will hit 100 days quit. And you will hit it, because you are a man of your word. All that you have to do is post your promise to yourself and all of us FIRST THING every morning, and then be a man of integrity. Come here, make connections (and friends) and collect some phone numbers. It is kinda weird reaching out to a stranger that you don't know when you are feeling weak.... but it is expected of you to do just that! Every one of us has done it, and it makes every one of us stronger.
You've got this man. I hate Kodiak. And you will too. Welcome aboard.
You've been pointed in the right direction as far as reading up on the site already, get in here read all you can intros, speeches, welcome center all of it....then like the others said get your butt over and post roll with August 2014.
I too was a heavy Kodiak man for about 23 years 14-37. 296 days ago I also said goodbye to that furry son of a bitch 'Finger'
You can too if your ready, no one hear will sugar coat anything its a fucking battle, one that we win one day at a time. I cannot describe just how good it feels to free from the chains of nicotine addiction, but we all started at Day 1 and we know how bad it sucks. I promise you though, it will get better and when it does..... you won't believe just how good it will get.
Check your Inbox (1) that's a message from me with my phone number. Call, text just start making contacts because the Brotherhood and Accountability....that's what equals quit.
