Hi I'm Justin and it has been a week now since I put down the can. This week has been a tough one. I'm tired almost every minute of the day and I have been getting headaches. But I take the side effects of the "quit" with great pleasure and I welcome those feelings because that let's me know that I am winning the battle and that puts me one step closer. I dipped for six years and I almost always had one in, thus there are a lot of triggers and it's tough but worth it all in the end.
Justin
Welcome aboard. Yea the suck really does suck!! The fog the tiredness does go away.
Hang in there man! I quit with you today.
Keep the Faith!!
For most addicts, everything is a trigger if you let it be. You gotta fight through that. Be ever vigilant.
Justin,
Glad to be quit with you bro. Keep it up. You can do this! I hope you're getting hooked up with some good people on this site and getting involved. I can't believe this shit really works. Every new day I am in awe of what is happening to me and my life. No more dip for me. Ever. ODAAT!
As for triggers, this might be blasphemy, but I don't believe in them. What the fuck is a trigger? Life is a trigger. There isn't one thing in it that wasn't an excuse for shoving my face full of poisonous weed. Rain or shine, job or no job, happy or sad, she stays or she goes (which is worse?;). Whatever were the demands of life, my demand was dip. No more. Now when I have a tough day or a good day I share it with my quit brothers. I go to them with life and SHARE THAT with them. In fact, I like sharing and look forward to bringing these dudes into my life. I hope that you dive into that and join us.
PM should you want someone to share it with.
Peace.
