Day 8
The past two days have been tough in the morning. I want so bad to stop by the gas station that I use to haunt on the way to work. All I think on my way is “just one more can” by the time I pass by my head hurts my whole face is numb. I think my body is telling me just to stop. I think it is quite amazing how the mind works, as soon as I pass it by the headaches and the numbness goes away. I will not cave!
The irritability has been getting worse the last few days as well. Walking and drinking water seem to work for that. Even lost 10 lbs last week but that is my next hurtle.
Way to focus on one specific thing brother. I suggest alternating your route to work once to see if that helps with the numbness and headaches.
You have a good solid quit starting to brew inside you. Continue to use the site, gain friends as more people equals more accountability. Everyone has a different way of showing it but everyone on here cares enough to help you. Hell, none of us would have gotten this far without someone helping us when we were in the same place you are. Just remember that life will happen around you if you quit or not.
However, being a quitter is one hell of a way to win. Take you life back and be in charge of what you want. If it helps you at all my first two weeks were horrible. I hated people and I do mean everyone, I had anger issues, I gained a few pounds, my work suffered, my family didn't like me...but I made it and out of the blue there was a clearing morning when the fog lifted, the sand fell out of my mental vagina and I was just better. Not cured by any means but better.
I used smokeless tobacco for at least 8,760 days, I am now on day 74 of my quit, which means I have at least 87,00 more days before I can even start to think I am cured.
Keep up the good work, one day at a time.
