i'm guessing that coffee on the dip cans wasn't enough to keep him from dumpster diving.

Hang in there, man. I'm on Day 9, and I attest to everything that has been said about it gets easier. It gets way easier. Making the decision to quit and actually flushing my can was the hardest part for me and took some serious convincing from the people on this site. But you are past that part. YOU ARE QUIT. Congratulations. I'm quit with you. Now all we need to do is keep it that way.

I don't know who, but one of the people on this site has in his signature something like, "One letter is the only difference between a crave and a cave...don't drop it."

I just dont think mentally I can quit. Any help would be appreciated.
It's not that you can't, it's that you won't.

this website is what saved me during the suck, TL3. i hid myself away and read, read, read. i read old introductions and replies, i read HOF speeches, i read words of wisdom, everything. there's a lot of wisdom here, and it helps keep your mind on your quit.

notice i DIDN'T say "take your mind off of your quit." that's the last thing you want. the nic bitch is sneaky and waits for the moments where you're not paying attention. that's when a monster crave will hit. stay focused on your quit. keep it in the forefront of your mind. enjoy the mastery you have over your addiction.

lastly, get to know the people here. in your group, in other pre-HOF groups, and the vets that grace this site with their presence. there's a chat feature that's fun. upper right hand corner. get phone numbers, give your phone number. the more you give to this site in terms of time, emotion, and accountability, the better it works.

Avoid your triggers. Break your old patterns bro. Listen to these guys. This is all good. Your body is fixing itself. We're addicts and this is how we fix ourselves.

Let's get through today bro. You can totally do this. Just get through today and we win. You conquered. You took control. You are stronger than your enemy. I'm quit with you.

Texas,

Everything is right on schedule--this is completely nromal. You don't need to function--just pretend like you are functioning---stay busy, no one will no the difference! The most important thing is--no nicotine today--don't worry about yesterday and tomorrow--just today--keep your word.

Don't call it Hell--call it Healing(that is the truth). Your body and mind are healing today from the cancerous substance you have been putting in your mouth for however long.

Do something--exercise--stay busy--drink lots of water! Stay close to the site and your support system. It will get better--I promise.

You WILL make it--only one day at a time.

Peace
LL

So day two and I am going through living hell!!! I know you have all been there. I have the worst headache, dizzy, and cant focus. This has to get better and soon. I cant function.
It gets better. As you suffer withdrawal, reflect on this question...

Q: If one quits using nicotine and the withdrawal is this severe, is nicotine a positive or a negative?

If your word of honor means anything, you can do this. Give your word that you will not use nicotine in any way, shape or form, for today. First thing tomorrow, do it again.

Keep your word.

I have been keeping my word for 1243 days in a row now.

It will suck at first. Don't ever forget those days. But, You have no idea how great things will get.
