kicking it

[THansen2413]

Hey MN_Ben - Now that aRifleman2 has decided that 30 days is "enough" I'm curious to know what your thoughts are on that. You think that's a wise move?

Please elaborate, Tuco? I'm a fellow Minnesotan and supporter of Rifle. What's this talk about "enough"? "Enough" of the quit? "Enough" of this site? "Enough" what? I don't like the sounds of this one bit.

I gotta admit when I came here on day one it was a knee jerk reaction to a fight with my wife. The only reason I even knew about the site was cause of mn_ben.

That being said and being on day 12 now I can say without any question, I QUIT! I wasn't much of a believer to begin with but I will be damned if I will cave on you guys now or ever. The cravings are still there but I own this now and it is my decision to stay quit.

Turning that corner in your mind is success. It's all just legwork now. Putting in your time and sharpening your tools. This was a good thing to read tonight! Freedom just gets sweeter as the days roll out bro...

Excellent! Keep the focus and keep the quit.

I was one of the guys who questioned your committment. Way to be a bad ass and prove me wrong. 12 days is no joke (you'll never have a harder 12 day stretch) Glad that you are not only quit, but quit and contributing here helping other quits. Keep it up.

Glad you are here buddy, glad to see you posting, glad to read this.

Im glad to see you owning it now too instead of quitting so Mrs Arifleman2 doesn't bitch at you.. Proud to be quit with you..

keep on keeping on! Nice work!

Holy shit man, this is no joke. I've been doing OK so far but really hit a wall today. Stressed to the max, and craving like crazy. I felt fine this morning and almost breezed through the first few days. But at about 11am today the "fog" you all talk about dropped on my ass.

Didn't cave and didn't come close to that either but damn. Here's what I think contributed to it: no exercise today, stress, body finally realizing it's not getting any more nic ever.

~aRifleman2

It is a bitch, but you have the tools in place to smack the bitch away. Stay close to KTC and stay strong!

Rifleman, if you read other intros, especially from the guys who have been around, you'll see we all have been where you are...the good news is it doesn't last for long (usually no more than 2 weeks) Unfortunately the only advice anyone can give is gut it out. It is definitely do-able. Get after it.

Early in my quit when a craving came on strong I would do a simple exercise, no matter where I was (push-ups, burpees, a small jog or brisk walk). I did them until I didn't have the craving anymore. I also consumed mass quantities of water, I could literally not pass a restroom without having to piss.

The cravings you are getting right now are mental, physical and chemical; caused by years of self-mutilation and mental manipulation. You can do this, the early days are the worst, keep on powering through them and be constantly vigil.
