Cim,
Welcome to the fight of your life. This is the greatest resource to get help. Go read Hall of Fame speeches, other intros. Go and learn how to post roll call in you HOF group. You can do this. Get some phone numbers of fellow quitters...those whom you can call/text if you're having a bad day, or a bad crave. PM me if you wish. I'll be there 24/7. You will find a lot of support here. Lots of tough love too.
Spend as much time here as you can.
Drink tons of water
No Nic replacement therapy!!
Exercise
Don't fucking cave!!
It is so rewarding when you see that sun set on another successful day without the bitch.
Again, welcome.
Many people that have regard for you would wish that they could take the pain from your plate. If only you didn't have to go through the detox. I once had a leader say, "mthomas, if I could take all your hardships away from you....I wouldn't."
There is so much soul searching, so much determination and learning you develop going through the pain of this.
Cim when a true quitter or should I say, the real quitter that wants to be done once and for all comes here....I wish for them two weeks of absolute hell, pain and misery.
I had it and never, ever want to go through that shit again. Now that I am on the other side, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
I am more resolved in my quit, more determined to dismiss the cravings and more resolved that this is a lifetime war but I am fighting and going to win my war for today only. When tomorrow comes I'll focus then. Today I am 100 percent quit. A frogs ass isn't as water tight as my quit today.
Amazing what the walk to Freedom does to make you never want to go back in bondage.
You are in hell and I hope you hate it, I hope you have pain and misery and do a lot of soul searching. When you realize this is hell, I also hope you don't stop but keep walking. If you always remember to keep walking, you will walk out of hell shortly.
Now try to dismiss the pain and beat the shit out of your fucking nicotine habit! Hate it, don't entertain it. If you crave stick and move. "Not Now, Not Today, I am quit!" Should be your battle cry and you then need to do something to take your mind off it. Or come here and constructively talk about it. If you can't get the thought out of you mind then think about all the shit it put you through. All the lies, fears, money. Soon the temptation becomes annoying. The seduction is no longer a mysterious women because she lifted up her skirt and there is a big soggy penis staring at you.
It will become gross and discussing. If nicotine was a person, I would kill it for the sake of lives. This is poison, this is evil and I am proud to be quit with you.
Hey nic-bitch. Another one quit your sorry ass! One more quitter noticed your tits are sagging and your penis is wagging. ewwh! Oh by the way, I still have scoreboard on your ass - 63 to 0 you sorry ass lying cunt!!!
