Hello Everyone,
I am new to the forums and really want to get over this. I am 10 years deep this year. My fiancé will not have a child with me when we get married if I continue to chew. I have full support from her but not from myself. I fear the thought of irritability and withdrawals. I have quit drugs and not had a rough as a time as this. I am only one day in and I get the feeling of impending doom and anxiety. I hope to be able to share and get advice from many of you on this new experience. Thank you for the welcome and her we go.
hello Major, and welcome to the ring.
All you have to do today is stay quit. Everything else is unimportant. Today you save your life.
Tomorrow will take care of itself and you can choose to quit again or not, but today your going to stay quit.
Sip on sweet juice like pineapple, you want to keep your blood sugar up and steady, a sugar crash will lead to a crave.
Take a walk or ten, even just around the block. Exercise will reduce both the frequency and duration of craves.
Cut WAY back on caffeine, nicotine counteracts caffeine so you need to dramatically reduce your intake .
Go to Cancer and quitter stories, words of wisdom, and anywhere else you can think of and start reading until you find something to hold onto.
If I can do it so can you.
Congrats on the decision to finally quit
