Well the headache is the only thing getting to me. Taking Ibuprofen but its really only taking the edge off it.

Good news is I went to work told my boss what was going on. He not only got behind me he made sure everyone knew. Told them if I am to succeed I will need everyone around me in my life to help also.

So all is good.

Well done Tyran!

In my past failed attempts to quit I never told anyone, in fear that if I caved I would never hear the end of it. And I always failed. On this quit I told everyone.

Welcome!

Congrats on the quit! Every miniute spent in the suck, the cravings and ravings will get a little weaker. Think about that should you decide to cave. Every time ya have just one more... you have to start over again.

Go post roll and read the rest of the forum. It really helps!

Hello all Tyran here

Well lets see where to begin.... I am 39 and was dipping for 20 years. Started in the military since it wouldnt give away your position like smoking would.

Kinda odd to be here honestly. I have never even thought about quitting before yesterday. I had one of those lovely sores in my mouth we all get. I reached for my can, looked at it and said to myself...."I am done" then went and dumped it down the sink. New can too.

I decided I better check for symptoms to prepare and read all this stuff about raging and such. So I figured I better ask in chat how detrimental it is. I work in retail dealing with irate customers everyday and would hate to lose my job over this. But chat group gave me advice so I am good. Decided I will go to work but telling everyone I work with, next few days not a good time to be pushing my buttons.... LOL May go to doc on monday to see what advice he has. Also this morning I bought a ton of gatorade and juice....

First 24 hours almost done and so far just a killer headache. Kinda hope that is all I have to deal with as ibuprofen can fix that.

Well thats about it for now. I will be here everyday saying what happens to me physically and mentally.
