New guy trying hard!

[divarty]

Wareagle one of the things to remember about being in a high stress job and needing nic, is you dont. You will be in the fog for a while, your actions will be slow and you won't be able to focus for shit. Dosent matter. What does matter is that you don't ever put that crap in your mouth again.

Focus on smaller tasks at work, 15 minutes at a time. Walk around to get the blood flowing again. Chew gum, eat seeds, youll find after a while that the dip was slowing you down, not helping you out.

If you need a phone number PM me, any of the others here will give you a phone number as well, but taking that number is another commitment that you will call to ask for permission before you put that shit in your mouth. Just like roll call, I will not dip today. Say it, mean it, live it.

Have been wanting to quit for a while and after stumbling across this site last night, I woke up in the middle of the night and signed up and at 4:20am on Nov. 7, 2008, I made the choice to finally flush it. Today has been very difficult and I know that when I go back to work it will be hell to pay. I work in a high stress environment and have gotten used to the nicotine fix to handle the anxiety. I hope to sustain the willpower but I barely made it through today. To make matters worse, the day I decide to do something good for myself and family I find out that some jackass in another state somehow gets my account information and blows close to $1000 of my money at a Wal-Mart. Now that almost put me over and I am fighting it right now. OK, enough with the speech, here is some background.

Male
Age 27
Birmingham, AL
Married w/ 1 kid and another on the way
Dipped for about ten years-TW WG LC-1 to 1 1/2 can per day
Decided to quit for myself and for my wife who has patiently put up with it even though it was driving a kind of wedge between us. The more I look at it the dumber I feel for even letting something so disgusting and meaningless come between us.
Wanted to sign up here just to hear from those who have been there and done that!

you are gonna find alot of similar stories... cant believe something so meaningless can grow to mean so much to us that it becaomes #1 in many many lives at the detriment of families, carreers, and our own health.

I promise you that there will be many things that will come up to make you feel like you need your old stress friend back again for a long time to come... won't tell you it is as hard as it will be the first 20-30 days but it doesnt stop!

Get in here as often as you can, post, get to know people that have been through it and are quitting alongside you... the more you are known the harder it will be to let others down and the more successful your chances will be for a good quit. Get phone numbers for guys and promise to give one of them a call before you buy another can... out in another dip.

Best damn decision you made. Glad to have you aboard. Post, read, read, read, chat, read and read somemore. Use everything this site has available to you for YOUR quit. It will be tough at times but it will pass. NEVER forget those times. You do not want to relive them. Again welcome aboard.

I saw that you posted roll in February 09. Well done. That pretty much takes dipping off the table for today. Post roll again first thing Sunday morning. Rinse and repeat. Before you know it, you will seldom remember you ever dipped.

Being free of the nic is very much all it is cracked up to be. You have no idea how great things will be. It is true. I have no reason to lie to you about it.

You can do this.

oops, thought you posted roll. My bad. Heres how. now get to it.

How to Post ROLL CALL - Roll Call Instructions
Step 1 - Find the last Roll Call
Step 2 - Hit the "Quote" button in the upper right hand corner.
Step 3 - Click your mouse ANYWHERE in The bottom Box
Step 4 - Hit Ctrl and "A" at the Same time so it looks like THIS
Step 5 - Hit Ctrl and "X" at the same time so there is NOTHING in Either Box
Step 6 - Click your mouse in the TOP BOX
Step 7 - Hit Ctrl and "V" at the same time to Past the info into the top box AND ADD YOUR info to the bottom of the list
Step 8 - Hit ADD REPLY below the bottom box
Step 9 - Go back to the 1st unread post, pat yourself on the back, and have a beer cause you will not be dipping today.
