Embracing "The Suck" of the first 10 days big time today. I've had a headache all day and my body I can tell is reacting. Hanging in there and WILL NOT cave!

Day 3-4 were the worse for me. Keep yourself busy. Call your quit buddies. Most importantly, knock out any thoughts of caving that come into your mind immediately. Hit the gym, run, bike do whatever it takes to exhaust your mind and body. You can do this. Send me a PM if you need some digits. I quit with you today bro.
All the while your racking up these +1 victories, writing down triggers, journaling your quit, and building brotherhood within your quit group (all great ways to start off your quit), ...don't forget to do one thing while you're in this initial phase. Embrace it. This may sound bizarre or counter intuitive, but you need to embrace the suck. Welcome the suck of quitting these first few days and lock it in your memory forever. Never forget how fucking miserable it is to quit nicotine.

Why do we do this? To vow to yourself never to go through that suck again. When you quit nicotine, you don't stop doing it for a while ...you quit. Don't ever forget how miserable it is / was to go through the first few days of nicotine withdrawal. When that fog clears and you come out on the other side, yes it will get easier, and the gratification of being nicotine free will take over. But never forget...and promise yourself never to go there again. How do you achieve that? Post roll and quit one day at a time.

It will.

You used for 8 years (give or take). That's 2,920 days. You've been quit for 4. That's one tenth of one percent that you used the stuff. And, while it's probably not been the best physically for you, it will get better.

Drink tons of water. Bitch here. Ask questions. Work out. Read. We quit to enjoy life, but there is a small price to pay for it. Concentrate on the now, and breathe.

You can do this.

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

Keep plugging away bro. Get out of the house. Go see some sights. Take in a museum. Something different. You're climbing through the shit pipe to freedom.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Jack and I am officially a part of the Kill The Can Brotherhood. I came upon this site when doing a general internet search on groups for support.

I have been a dipper for 8+ years, and have attempted to quit before but have been unsuccessful. I haven't had the success I was looking for because I feel like I haven't gotten the support I've needed over the years.

My plan of action is to be as active as possible and connect with as many members as possible. I have started reading some of the articles which have been extremely helpful.

Looking forward to the journey, and from what I've seen, I need to take this one day at a time. Because like former AC/DC front man Bon Scott said, "It's a long way to the top, if you wanna Rock N' Roll."

JACK
SOunds like a great plan Jack.

You grow up in Fort Worth? I did too, N. Richland Hills.

Great decision you have made, sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and are going all in with this. The best way to do it in my opinion.

Keep up the good work, get some phone numbers from the guys in Nov. Need another drop me a PM and I'll share mine. Never know when you'll need it but you know the saying....

Thanks for the support guys - I have talked to some of the guys in my November group and gotten some digits. I've been doing pretty good so far - I was definitely feeling the physical withdrawal yesterday and last night but that has subsided greatly today. I appreciate all the support!
Keep it up. On day 2 great, but still in the fog. Hold tight, it gets a little bumpy, but I promise it will subside and get better. Glad to have you in November14.

Jack, congrats on your great decision. Day 2 sucks bad, but you will get through it - hang in there. Honestly Day 3 sucks bad too, but you will get through that also, you have to. It's a matter of life or death. You can do this, and I promise, it does get better. You will never be able to let your guard down for the rest of your life, but you will feel better soon. Proud to quit with you today, brother!
