It’s time. I’m ready

[WonPump]

I get a lot of vibes from members of this site that I am doing something wrong here. I am on day 13, I’ve posted roll everyday. What am I missing?

I’m quitting, I’m keeping my promise, I’m doing insanely well actually, about a full week of feeling incredible with no cravings or temptation at all.

I think sometimes it’s okay to just be doing well. Letting it be easy while it’s easy. Not dreading or fearing a relapse. Not craving and stress eating and being up all night. It really is okay to be okay and I get a lot of texts, DMs and replies that come across very strange to me. Like I’m doing something wrong because I’m doing well.

Weird stuff. Going forward I’m posting roll daily only. Those who have my number, if you have an emergency I am always here. I quit 13 days ago and I’m not going to live every day fearing the worst. I am going to enjoy being quit and be positive.

Quick little update on how my quit is going.


I have had no cravings or any other issues, sleep, temperament, “fog” since maybe day 5. Life is good. I’ve had 5 or 6 straight days now of just normal life. I had a funny run in today at the gas station with a guy who works there, I told him a couple weeks ago I was planning to quit and not to sell me any dip if I ever ask. I went through his line grabbing a coffee and he yelled at me not to even ask for dip. That made me laugh, having KTC and a guy like that holding me accountable means a lot. I don’t wanna call it easy, but it is kind of easy to quit when you do it for the right reasons and have people who won’t let you fuck it up.

I am chillin, 11 days in. The cravings are gone which is really the only thing that stopped me in the past. Hope everyone else is doing well and anyone new who might read this, get past that first few days and you’re well on your way to beating it. It gets much easier

"The cravings are gone"

As talked about previously in this thread...be careful with this.  For most people, the cravings don't go away.  They still pop up, and usually at the most inopportune times.  Always be on guard for cravings and be prepared to deal with them.  That's why we post at the beginning of each day.  Your promise to your group is one of the biggest tools to keep you from giving in to those cravings.  Another big tool is having digits and using them.  When you get a craving and feel overwhelmed, text or call another quitter until the craving goes away.

Slept in today, somewhat late night was probably up until around 3:30. My sleep schedule has been all over the place which has been an issue for years, now adding quitting I expect it to continue to be a bit crazy! My most common times to post roll will likely be anytime between 10 and 11 am, give or take an hour for an early or late wake up day. I am staying quit don’t worry! Day 5 can’t wait for 6

Welcome and glad to have ya here. It truly sucks now but it does get so much better. I think for me, it took somewhere around 3-5 weeks and I startes getting the best sleep I have ever had in my life. I'm sure you will too. Keep up the great attitude and reach out any time, my digits are yours if you want them.

Cravings have been a real bitch today on day 5. Just like many said, yesterday might’ve been a good day, there will be bad too. Staying quit, just went and got some ranch sunflower seeds, see how that suffices. Any other similar alternatives anyone can suggest? No chance of caving, absolutely none, but would take any suggestions for some relief!

Sugarless gum, fake dip, and seeds were my subs. Just realizing the cravings don’t really last that long helped. Stay busy, get a little extra rest, drink a ton of water, focus only on today, and know it will get better. You can do this. You will never regret quitting but you will always regret caving.

Today has been an oddly good day and I’m not complaining. Slept like a baby last night, woke up early, went for a walk around the neighborhood and got some stuff done. I’m out of work but I do a lot of selling on eBay, so packaging and getting stuff out for a couple hours today kept me busy. Cravings have been almost minimal, less than I’d expect. Again, I’m feeling pretty good, better than I thought I would. We’ll see what tomorrow holds, cant wait to be 5 days quit.

damn right. Love it. Post updates at least daily. It’s hard work quitting but sooo worth it. You are winning - this is inspiring.

Love this brother.  Let it ride!!

I've always said to enjoy the easy days but be prepared for the challenging days. One day at a time (ODAAT) is truly the only mindset to have when it comes to quitting.

I’ve had one hell of a night tonight. Felt what I’d describe as hungry, probably mixed with cravings, and thought back on what I’d eaten all day. Not much. Snacked on a some peanuts and figured I’d pass out. Past hour plus been having lots of chest pains and been lightheaded. Full blown anxiety attack, with a side of feeling like I’m having a damn heart attack. I already know the culprit in all this, damn dip. Pains are scary, telling God I’m done with dip I’ll never go back just let me be okay. I’m giving it up and I swear I am. 630am and still awake. Typing this for a few minutes has had a bit of a calming effect for me, although I still haven’t fully shaken it. Chest feels okay, overall anxiety almost head to toe is still there. I’ve had a lot of moments like this, plenty of nights with some crazy anxiety. I don’t take any medication for it but perhaps I should. Could be unrelated to dipping but I think dip has taken its toll and chipped away at my life in lots of ways such as this. Hope everyone is enjoying a good nights sleep, going to try relaxing and get some sleep myself asap

The first is always the worst. Hold tight and keep posting progress like this (it's what I do and it helps with the mental game). Just know you won't regret quitting once all this passes and it will. But like you, I'm in the heat of the battle too.
Rexx - 27 days quit with you today.

Wonpump I ate all kinds of shit, stuffed whatever I could in my lip, had anxiety attacks, bouts of depression, rage, despondency (read my intro).  Space and time softens any edge.  Stack hours, then days...just make it through the moment.  Keep blogging it out here.  You are not alone.  It gets more manageable.

Hold the line

@WonPump ,

I can not emphasize enough the importance of drinking a shit ton of water right now.  It will help to flush your system.  Also, cranberry juice helps a lot with cravings.  Try to stay away from unhealthy snack foods if you can but if its a choice between a Reeses and a dip, Reeses ALL DAY brother.

You will get through this sucky part and you will be stronger at the end of it.  My digits are in your inbox.  Reach out we are here.
