Today is the day

[Candoit]

Wife leaves for work in 30. I got 30 minutes to myself before I leave for work. Used to be a prime opportunity. Not today, no way. The Devil is a lie.

Focus on not what you used to do but what you need to do.

This is a great intro. Dude, you aren't in this alone.

One day at a time. How you are feeling today is not the new normal. Ever had the stomach flu? You know... The one where both ends are simultaneously exploding? And you think... Omg... I have never been this sick and it is never going to stop!?!

And then it does.

Nicotine withdrawal is the shits. It will get better. Your 30 minutes of dip solitude will become 30 minutes of you time that you will cherish. You've got this.

I now take that time to walk my daughter to the bus stop. W2W is 100% right. Embrace the suck and you will come out stronger than you ever thought possible.

Another moment of struggle. Late night before bed. Usually a prime area to pop in a dip.

Time to go to bed...

Yes, you will find triggers everywhere so you will need to stay on guard.

I'm proud to have quit with you today. Get some sleep and thank yourself in the morning for another day nicotine free. B)B

Trying not to over caffeniate myself during this transition. Gotta pick up more aqua...

Be careful with both caffeine and alcohol this first week or so. You may find caffeine more effective, and both are triggers for craves for many folks. Not to mention if you have been drinking the nic bitch may convince you to grab a can. I was rewarding myself with a couple ipa's before bed though on the rougher days. Find what works, and stick with it.

What works is investing in your quit. You need to change a lot more than what you drink. You need to focus on making it to the next sun up.

Do not over think it. It is simple, make your promise and then fight like hell to keep it. If your looking for suggestions for drink, I recommend the red KTC kool-aid.

Funny you mention caffein. My intake has more than doubled since I quit dipping. Probably a bad thing for me considerings my blood pressure and all. I need to slack off of caffein as well.

Ready for the next 24 hrs. Had a really rough and stressful night last night. The ghost of that 15 year old boy (myself) was calling me again...

You are in the minute by minute, hour by hour zone right now. Every minute quit is a victory.

Drink water, exercise, read KTC, get on chat, whatever it takes.

You can do this. I quit with you today.

You got this! We're here use us! Damn proud of you! You're doing great! Quit on!

Good call. Caffeine will have more impact (nicotine countered it before your quit), so half as much as before. Agua es bueno.

Drink a lot of water. Exercise until you can't anymore, then exercise some more. Use fake, gum, seeds, whatever it takes not to cave. I quit with you today
