This introduction page....I am kind of using it as a diary. I think these posts are for me, but I have a feeling if someone finds them that it may help them as well.

Today is Day 16. I never thought I would make it this far. I am now really pondering the deeper reasons for my quit. Oddly enough, I thought the only reason was financial. I was going to save a ton of money on being able to switch to a non-tobacco life insurance policy, along with the obvious daily savings. here has to be more to my reasoning though. I am not a financial decision type.

I am now realizing a reason I quit was that I did not like the "tobacco-me". It is sad not to like yourself. I did not know how much I did not like myself until today. I was selfish in the way I was treating my body. Now don't get me wrong, I still do not go to the gym like I should or eat like I should, but if I try to change all at once I feel it will be too hard and I would not be able to live up to the "little goals" I have set for myself. All in good time.

So for now, no dip, or cigs. It feels amazing. I have also quit alcohol for now. This one will not be permanent like the tobacco. I just know that drinking will make some weak moments and I am going to stay away.

So, if you are out there struggling...you can do it. We all can do it.

I like myself again.

Addiction, Self-Identity and 1 Day at a Time.

Breaking the physical addiction to nic is simple. It is unpleasant, but simple, and only lasts 72 hours.

The psychological component to quitting is the real journey. Begin the journey by inventing a new self-identity. The Quitter.

Say, Ã,“I AM QUITÃ,”.

You are not Ã,“quittingÃ,”. You are not Ã,“tryingÃ,” to quit. You ARE quit. It is a state of being. The psychological term is Ã,“Identity DevelopmentÃ,”. There is no try, there is. It is now part of your identity. Ã,“QuitÃ,” is who you are.

Simply choose to quit today. Do not worry about baseball next March. Do not worry about next monthÃ,’s exams. Do not worry about TuesdayÃ,’s deadline. Quit today. The body will adjust. The psyche will adjust. You will gradually and often unnoticeably reinvent what it is to be you. You shall be restored one day at a time.

I just want to thank Cbird. I was having a rough day and he helped me through it. Tomorrow is day 14. Two weeks. While it seems like such a short time it took forever to get here. I am on he road and all I want is a dip. I have yet to use a substitute, but some sunflower seeds and large glasses of water may be in order tonight. I will not cave!Ã, 
Thanks everyone.

PAY ATTENTION NEWBS this guy is grasping the concept of accountability, brotherhood and yes SUCCESS.

Reach out, up, down or around - donÃ,’t think this is a solo act!!!

Glad you reached out and I was there and it helped my quit just as much as it did yours CJ!!

Brings a tear to the eye to see this place work as intended.

It never fails. Put "reach" and "around" in the same sentence and Gmann comes running.

Things are going pretty well. I travel for work this week. I will have a lot of time alone in the hotel....dipping heaven. I could leave half filled spit jars any place I wanted to. I could dip in bed, the shower, in the morning, on a break, after and before dinner....etc. I would roll through those cans on the road.

Not this trip.

The first business trip for me was a huge trigger....i remember walking in the room and looking for my can. I travel every week so this trip came less than 7 days from my Day. Remember, this SHIT is out of your system.....don't put it back. Make a MUST for you.....you got this bro

Read all you can here. Go to the welcome center link above and figure out roll call and go post roll. Do that now. I think if you're on day 10 you'd be in the may 13 group. Pm me if you need anything.

Yep, May 2013 HOF group! Like Gmann said get over there now and post roll. Get numbers of fellow quitters that you can share your suck with. Helping pull through this pain is a two way street! Reach out for help and pay it forward to others in need.
