Thanks again guys. Sorry for the absence from my own intro thread for the last couple of days. No caves, still here.
So it seems like every single day is getting better. The time intervals between thoughts of dip keeps extending from 1 min, to 5, to 25, to an hourÂ…. it's awesome. To be perfectly honest, this is not nearly as hard as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong - there are times each day that I struggle. But I am only 1 week in and I probably spend half my day not even realizing that I don't dip anymore. I have to imagine day 100 is going to be even better.
So I decided to go against the recommended techniques here. I know everyone says don't drink for the first three weeks, but I totally didn't do that. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've drank every night since I quite and have even gotten straight up drunk twice. I didn't have the drinking triggers that lots of guys do I guess; for me, it actually took my mind off it.
That, and it's the start of the semester again tomorrow so I had to get it in while I could.
Also, I don't know about you guys, but my tongue actually hurts from the salted sunflower seeds I'm chewing these days! I've found that sunflower seeds, more than anything else, do the trick for me. Gum is not bad either.
Anyway, hope all you quitters out there are staying strong.
HOLD THE LINE.
