I quit all nicotine last night at 7:44 PM. I quit tobacco on the 17th, but had been using nicotine lozenges to get me through. Last night I quit the lozenges and am nic free. I know it takes 72 hours to completely leave my system.

I recently was diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic. A1C of 11.2. For those who donÂ’t know, thatÂ’s ridiculously high. Should be 6.

If I donÂ’t get my blood sugar under control soon, IÂ’m going to be on insulin and IÂ’m going to get in worse and worse shape.

I decided that it was time to make some serious lifestyle changes. I figured that I needed to do 3 things.

1. Eat a very low carb diet
2. Take my medication appropriately (following all directions)
3. Quit nicotine

IÂ’ve been working hard on my new low carb diet so that I can limit how much sugar is coming in to my body in the first place. Doing pretty good with it. ItÂ’s just a lot to learn.

I started on my medication, Metformin, Tuesday night. So far, so good.

Last night I took the third step: I quit nicotine.

IÂ’ve been dipping since I was 11. IÂ’m now 46. So, 35 years of dipping. ThatÂ’s a long time. I know this will be a battle that will never really end, it will just become more manageable. IÂ’m glad I found this resource and I plan to use it.

I love this post, bro!

Taking back your life is so damn hard but soooo worth it.

A word of caution... you're tackling an awful lot all at once so be patient and really keep your focus on the ground you gain each day. I'm on a low carb diet too... the results from that kick in pretty fast and are very noticeable right up front. Nicotine... yeah, that one can take awhile. We all used it to mask a lot of other shit and it permeated more of our life than we ever knew. If you've got the time... spend it on site, in your quit group, and communicating with other quitters. You're not alone and sometimes... sometimes, that's all you need to know to keep moving forward. I chewed for 25 years and 2 cans a day for a good chunk of it. Today marks 1,262 days since I Quit. If I can do this... you can do this.

Welcome to freedom.

You can do this. It's going to be hard, but I've found in the past few days that this place is amazing.
Stay the quit, we're right beside you.

Well said girl!

seVen, welcome! Salvation lies within the walls of KTC. Commit to it, embrace the suck that is the first few days. Burn it into your memory cells.

Dive into KTC for all it is worth. Get active and post roll every day in your January 20176 group.

I was just like you 409 days ago. Nicotine wise that is. Im still an addict but no longer a slave. So so many good sayings floating around here. None of these are mine, just ones I remember.

And they stuck with me becasue theya re true. Be careful of the mind games after 72 hours. Thats when the real fun begins.

PM me with anything, get active in your group and be a leader.

You got this, one day at a time. I'll quit extra hard with you today. JB
