Hi - new quit - MuleMan day 2 morning

[Keith0617]

Thanks Cspence.  I may take you up on your offer. No concern at the moment that I'll give up

I'm 42 hours into my quit and today was def harder than day 1.  I'm silently raging mad at myself all day and having outbursts toward family for minor annoyances. I'm starting to see the haze/fog others have talked about too. I feel like I can resist the cravings; just want the rage and emotions to lift and become more controllable. I have much to accomplish this week outside of my quit (I can see now that's in jeopardy); my quit seems most important to me.  not going back, just want this over.

Welcome. Make relationships as they will be worth there weight in gold. Exchange digits only through messages and never on the forum. Reach out if you want my help.

Hey MuleMan, welcome to KTC. I am also a 40 something married father of 4 from the Midwest.  I am on day 71 of my quit after dipping off and on (mostly on) since college. This site can help but only if you want to quit for yourself. I am telling you being quit is awesome -   being owned but dip. If you need more accountability, send me a pm and I will give you my number.

Meant to say not being owned by dip is awesome.

Welcome MuleMan - congratulations on embracing freedom. Don't look back, look forward. Each day is a new day of freedom.
Make your way to April 2020 Quit Group .
Post your promise there, do it every day, do it early. We call it Wake Up Piss Post (WUPP). For most of us, the nicotine hit was the first thing we did every day.
That's why the promise not to use is done first thing, every day.
There's some informative links in my signature about nicotine and addiction (it's not a habit, it's an addiction). Read all that you can and educate yourself.
Knowledge is power, ignorance is terribly expensive.
Great to have you aboard

Hi all; new to this resource; just wanna quickly introduce myself.  I'm a 40 something married father of 4 in northeast. was ~6 yrs into my latest dip. 

glad for all the info I found here to help plan quit.  right now I'm About 30 hours into my quit (started midnight on 12/28/19); going well so far I'm heavily relying on all kinds of fake dip to deal with oral stimulation. 

I pledge to not use any nicotine today. 

BTW - I just gave my final real can to my 12 yo son to discard and shared with him my promise to be done forever. Its real; no going back.

Here's to hoping that today is as manageable as yesterday was.

God bless

MuleMan
