Day 1

[FLLipOut]

Day 12 today - thoughts for me to look back on and hopefully help others as well.

- I'm irritable as hell. Days 3-5 I was borderline psycho. Thankful that I work from home, otherwise I'm almost certain I'd be in jail.
- I've yet to experience the fog, or really any super prolonged cravings. The cravings that do hit me are fast and strong and come from nowhere, almost random and not associated to any event or action that I would consider a trigger.
- Fake dip - I've tried Smokey Mountain and Baccoff - has been huge. For me being able to spit while on the golf course and throwing a fake dip in after meals really takes my mind off the quit.
- Not drinking alcohol for this initial period has been big. Staying sharp and on-point is required to keep that sneaky nicotine bitch in check.
- Posting my promise daily and texting my accountability partners is required and non-negotiable. I'm not going to let them, or myself, down.

You are doing great, Jeff.  I had to laugh:  I work from home, too, and I know what you mean.  I had serious concentration issues, and my first month or so, I would be sitting at my desk "working" for 10 hours but could only in good conscience, bill maybe 4 hours!  I was so unproductive!!!  Just part of the journey.

Sounds like you are doing all the right things.  Good thing is you only have to tackle things one day at a time.  Proud to be quit with you today.

FLLIP - day 1154

Good morning folks! I'm Jeff and today is my first day of quit. I have already posted in roll call and have already traded texts with some very helpful folks. I'm definitely in the right place.

I'm 52, live in Ft. Worth TX, and have been on the nicotine tit for most of 40 years. I've quit a few times in the last four years, once for about 1.5 yrs, but convinced myself I needed to jump back on it to lose weight and then jump off again. You can guess how that worked out.

I'm thankful for the help, and am hopeful I can help as well.

Welcome, You never quit before, you just took a vacation.

You have found the right place to stay quit.

We may be a little  But we have your back if you are willing to do what it takes to stay quit.
