Introduction and Day 1

[brettlees]

So I had my first dip dream yesterday morning. Was weird; woke me up, felt slightly horrified/guilty until I figured out what was going on.

That's basically the only news of my quit at this point, other than the fact that I'm in to double digit days of my quit. So that's good. The longer I get out from Day 1, the more confident I feel about not needing the stuff. Feels great. Lots of feeling over here.

You doing great documenting in your quit Aaron. Keep it up. Youll look back on these days and vow to never have to go through The Suck again. Well done Quitter!

Oh how the great outweighs the suck! Maybe not now but man being quit is awesome! My only regret is I wish I had found ktc 30 years, if they would have had it. Probably wouldn't have mattered then, I was 22 and bulletproof! Quit on!

a dip dream is a victory, too-- you woke up and it wasn't true! nice!
Plus, the not feeling drowsy is probably progress. When you have good things like that happen, you're doing the right thing by enjoying them. Learning to recognize and enjoy the freedom is part of learning this new way of life you are creating. Nice work!

Monday update:

Still more cravings earlier in the day...then once I left for work everything seemed to be fine.

Something different a week in: it used to be I was tired 80% of the time on any given day. Now I'm tired, but I'm not drowsy -- which is nice, I guess? Drowsiness was a huge bugaboo. I'd either deal with it by taking dip after dip or drinking coffee -- or fairly often both.

Anywhoo, overall so far so good.

I feel you it gets easier I'm in a 6 week school right now and last week I sat there falling asleep thinking a chew would wake me up. Then I thought wtf No it won't it's temporary relief.

Keep the updates coming it gets better

Sunday afternoon update:

Holy crap, the cravings are randomly so bad this afternoon. Yesterday was a breeze, but today has been heck.

Holy hell what a game!

One day at a time bud.

I dealt with Andy Reid in Philly - don't let his awful clock management lead to a cave! ;)

I quit with you today! Stranger999 day 422

Haha! I literally tweeted during the 3Q I thought they were going to lose the game...it's hard to get a read on this team sometimes.

Saturday night update.

Today has actually been great. Fewer hard urges, and whenever they do come, I've got my mints right there. Went for most of the day without too much temptation.

Every time I think it's going well, I put my guard up even more. I'm (almost) a full week in. Any failures now would be 7 days wasted.

Friday night update:

Got home from work and was extremely tired. Took a nap before going to my buddy's place to watch the WS. All the while I've been the most tempted to dip to this point in my quit.

I have a lot of free time tomorrow and will be browsing the forum for all of that time (while watching football, of course).

Nice win last night Aaron. It was smart that you had a plan and stuck with it! Today will be your first saturday quit which will be a milestone. Keep winning! CJ

Hi Aaron - just saw your thread. Nice to see another Chiefs fan around here!

You've gotten some bad ass advice already from some of the best quitters around, and Zeno is a great quit Sherpa! Keep doing what you are doing. It gets better and easier. One day at a time!
