Hey Guys,
First full day of quit (started Tuesday at 4pm, threw out a 3/4 tin... why wait?). I promised myself a while back that once i got into a serious relationship, I'd quit (I'm in college, and for the last few years, I've been kinda selfish, putting myself first). I told her i would, and on the way home, i tossed my tin out.
As for how today went, I felt like everything was just a dream. I was hazy and nothing seemed like it happened. I lost my gym bag, and have no idea where along my day I lost it (thank god my wallet and phone were on me, and not in my bag like usual). I've been a bit short with a couple people today, but nothing severe, just kinda perturbed. I bought a bag of sunflower seeds for when i'm craving, and I've found that altoids have also helped a bit (i usually dipped straight, but my last tin/secondary flavour was mint) in getting that "tingly feeling" on my gums.
I kept a tin with one pinch in it, on my dresser. Its something my coach recommended to me when I told him I wanted to quit. Its a constant reminder that, yes I can give up and pack that, but it's my own "SEAL" bell so to speak. I'd have to give up, and conscientiously admit that my willpower is nothing. I'm not willing to make that type of statement...
Welcome. First, get rid of the can. You don't need it. Second, stay close to the site and read everything you can. The first few days are gonna suck. Things will get better after that. they will get better every day as long as you remain quit.
Post roll call early every morning giving your word of honor that you will not use nicotine in any way shape or form for that day. keep your word. One day at a time.
