Lets get ready to rumble

Well, shit just got real.  I had been feeling relatively good for the last couple of days. Yea the fog was kind of bad, sore throat today, but over all I felt pretty decent.  I just got back to my apartment (I was with my fiancé all weekend) and I just hit a wall.  I mean... damn... I don't even know what to say.

I'm still quit... don't worry about that.

It was like a ton of anxiety, hit me all of a sudden, being here by myself and I donno.  Going to put some seeds in and watch some tv.  Take it easy everyone.

The wall is real. It's snuck up and knocked me on my ass more times than I care to remember.

My advice...

Every time you hit that wall and get knocked down, you stay on the ground for a sec, don't try and jump right up. Sit there with a small bit of humility, stare up at the wall and say under your breath, "fucking wall" then slowly get to your feet, brush yourself off and keep walking.

Continue to walk like you have a 10" cock but every time the wall gets you (and it will, especially early on) just get up and keep walking. That fucker will put your dick in the dirt a bunch, but it won't kill you.

Eventually, you will be able to see that big ass wall coming at you and you can juke that fucker, avoiding it all together.

It will take time, patience , persistience, and toughness.

Dont think of that wall as a scary thing, think of it as a training tool.

You got this shit bro.

I hear you brother. There is a point when you realize it's for real. I think at first everything is new and exciting. Shortly after the newness wares,,, bam! This is where quitters Make it or fail. How bad do you want it Michael? All i can tell you is it gets so much easier. It's also so worth it. I wouldn't give my quit up for nothing. Read what diesel wrote every time it's tough. You can do this. I quit with you today.

Well that wall can be a bitch but look around you, your surrounded by quitters that are on the other side of that wall and we are there to give you a hand. Go over or around the wall with the help of those of us that have made it securely on the other side.

Great post. Keep posting this stuff. The bottom line, you did not cave. When the nic bitch comes at you with all her force and you win, it makes you stronger.

Thanks everyone for the support.

Things have already started to get better. Today will be my fourth day anad I feel like the haze is starting to lift. By no means do I believe I'm in the clear, but things are feeling better. My throat is crazy sore today... I think I remember reading that this is a normal withdrawal sympton.

Anyways, keep it up August.

I feel you bro. I'm on day 7 and the sore throat and mouth soars are totally kicking my ass today. I'm glad to see another young quitter, I'm 25 myself so it's nice to see a young person taking some responsibility and regaining control of their life. The feeling of being quit gets better every day and each time you post roll it will only make you more proud bro. Keep fightin' the good fight, man!

From one Michael w to another, you've got this. The fog memories are one of the greatest parts of the quit experience - as there is no way I would ever want to subject myself to that again. So smart of you to document a lot of this so you can look back and see what it was like. Many of us did the same in our intros and it really helps in the memory of what a suck addiction this is. You will soon be in that mindset, and you are well on your way with the one day at a time mentality. My intro started out somewhat like yours... The fog will lift. The throat will heal. The fiancé will continue to be proud. And you have made the best decision of your like by making your daily pledge. There are a lot of us on the sidelines cheering you on right now - reach out if we can help.

Bro, you got this. You have made it far enough already to know you can handle this quit. Make it till tom. That's your only goal tonight. Then we will post roll tom together.
I sent you a p.m. let us know if you need anything!

Many of us experienced sore throats and/or sores in our mouths initially. Some of it is your body finally getting a chance to heal itself vs being continually assaulted by cancer causing toxin. Some of it is due to sunflower seeds etc...

I remember a lot of my April 12 brothers having similar issues, myself included. Although that was a time long, long ago when we would post things like this in our actual groups vs just our intro. There always seemed to be others experiencing the same thing, and was great to get involvement in our house. It always helped to keep our minds off of this poison. Hell, this was so long ago that we used to only have ....1.....HOF conductor :blink:

I feel you Mikey. And I know right where you are at this moment. Every quitter on here has been through the suck. Took me at least a week to feel like I could function at work. First 4 days I hardly remember. Could barely work a door knob let alone run a meeting.

The good news is, that it gets better. Keep up the great work man. Time to roll your sleeves up and beat this bitch. It's worth it bro, this shit is life or death. What do you choose?

Michael, whatever you do today, do not chew. Commit to yourself that under no physical, emotional, or mental circumstances will you stick your fingers in. You can do it.

Well, 2 days down.  I don't know what to say other than that.  There have been times where it has been pretty bad, and times where it is hardly noticeable.  The fog is the worst thing for me by far.  I look back at my last two days of work and think about what I got done... and it is literally nothing.  I'm hoping by next Monday some of the fog will have lifted so I can return to being a somewhat productive member of my team. 

I have stepped up the coffee intake to try and clear away some of the fog -- never seemed to work. 

Oh well. I'm quit. 'nuff said.  Keep up the good work erussell, jayd41, applejack, kkljinc. Thanks for the support everyone.

Michael actually try limiting the caffeine intake some and drink lots and lots of water.It helps to flush the toxins out of your system quicker. Begins the healing process, your body is going through enough shit right now it doesn't need any help with another stimulant.Exercise,walk around keep your mind busy.It is gonna take time you have been poisoning your body and brain for a lot of years.Proud of you,keep up the good fight.
