Quote from: TheMissingPeaceJP- You are a Bad Ass Quitter. You wrote with more clarity in the middle of your Day 2 Suck than I do now at Day 23. Let me know if there's anything I can do. Today I posted Roll Call and today I am Quit. Peace
Thanks bro. I just take it a day at a time. The same offer extends from me to you. If you need anything at all let me know bro. PM me and I will give you my cell number in case you wanna talk or a craving hits and you need someone to holler at.

Quote from: 30yrAddictJP,

Sounds like you are at a time in your quit where you feel the first sense of freedom. It is a great feeling.The nic bitch ain't gonna let you go just yet, but it gets better and better. These times will become more and more the normal instead of the exception. Stay vigilant but enjoy these days.

Glad to be quit with you

Thanks 30. I know I got a long road ahead of me but thats why I take it a day at a time. Thanks for all of the support. I won't stop quitting though. I have come way to far and gone through way too much shit to stop now.

Day 11. Hell yeah. I slept through the night last night. Only problem is I slept a little too good and I was a few minutes late for work this morning :o Haha its a nice change from the insomnia but I will probably just end up sleeping like shit tonight. Oh well I embrace the suck everyday cause its my fault I ever took that first dip anyways. Damn I was an idiot. Anyway, today is a great fucking day cause I'm quit. Man up fellers, grab yourself by the balls and quit today!

Hour 8. It's already kicking in. From the can gone from my back pocket to the digging in between my teeth to get out pieces of snuff. I'm missing it. But I'm not caving. It's all going to be worth it. Once my Smokey Creek Chew arrives, everything will be fine. I hope. I know the first 48 are going to be rough but I'm going to push through it. With a choice of cancer or headaches and insomnia, I'll go with the latter.

Day 10. In the double digits now baby! Its a great freaking day cause I'm nic free and quit. Cravings today are minimal to none, no headaches. I still have been having trouble sleeping real well but I know that sooner or later that will subside. I'm just happy to be off the nasty shit. Also my head has been much clearer :D

Finally got to a computer today. Many thanks to Rocketman for posting my roll this morning via text cause I aint got a computer and I wasn't working today. Today is Day 9 and its been great. My head has been clear today and I'm not acting like such a grumpy sum bitch. Also cravings have been minimal. Day 9 is a far cry from day 1. Day 1 was like this 'bang head' day 9 has been more like this :D Today is a great freaking day cause I'm quit and nic free. I wish I could have seen myself and how much of a jackass I looked like when I was still doing this dumb shit 'drool' I am glad to be quit. So Nic bitch this middle finger is for you 'Finger'

Its Day 8 and I'm quit brothers for another day. I actually got some pretty good sleep last night. I only woke up twice throughout the night. The cravings aren't as bad and my head is starting to feel clearer. Today is a great freaking day cause I'm quit and I know that day by day its getting better. Stay strong and stay quit brothers.

I used some Tylenol PM early on to get to sleep. Your sleep will return... Keep fighting !!

In those early days of quitting, the sleep I lost at night I made up during work; so, it all balances out. :D

Keep pressing on. You'll feel great when what you've written here sounds to you like someone else's story; and that will happen soon enough if you just make your way to that goal one day at a time.

Good work Paris.

The sleep will return in time. At some point in the near future you most likely will be sleeping more than you ever have. It takes awhile to fix that many years of stupid.
