Day 24 hello

[Tasia]

Day 36 and its been ok for the most part.  I've got a dental appointment friday for some routine stuff, already saw them for my cleaning and no concerns were raised.  I have an appointment thursday for some stuff my doctor was concerned about so seeing a specialist. This is all blood work related and they still have no idea why i have/had" loss of sensation" aka tingling down one side of my body.  Praying for the best out come possible, and hopefully its jsut my body trying to sort its self out and this will all have been a wild goose chase and just some life style changes will continue to be in order.  ITs so hard to not work myself into a tissy over this stuff, because to be fair doctors are not the most forth coming when they are evaluating. THey can ( well my doctor) be very elusive and just hint at things without actually saying anything. But i am blessed to be alive and blessed to be on this quitting journey . One day at a time.

Yesterday wasnt nearly as bad. Realizing the ups and downs in feeling are more than likely withdrawl related. It's hard to put that into my mind .
The doctors visits really dont put me at ease because the doctor doesnt say much. And so going through the process of test running , and waiting for results and seeing what they want to do next is just bleh.  But definitely seeing it as one day at a time. So far today isnt bad.

I know its gonna be rough and that I'm still gonna have bad days . But looking forward the good moments in the today.

I dont remember feeling such like shit, especially emotionally any other time I quit. Its day 33 and I've been so anxious  lately .  And like I said the week sfte ri wuit I got that tingling on one side of my body so , I've been back and forth to the doc trying to figure out why that happened, mean while just been having the aches and pains on that side too. And so anxiety has been  real high..some days are better than others, but yesterday was rough. It was so hard to not jump to the worst conclusion about everything thata going on.  Talking with my husband, I did tell him how scared I was and that we definitely would be getting back into healthier eating a regular exercise, no excuses . Because we're too young for me to be having issues like this.

I never thought it was a problem just a bad habit. Then I found all my hidden bottles and cans a week back while deep cleaning and said well if I hadnt already quit that would have been a reason too. Chugging along today, working on coping better today than I did yesterday.

Hang in there @Tasia . It will get better. Suggest you keep your focus ODAAT and not worry about tomorrow, much less the future. Your prior attempts at quitting where stoppages. You didn’t quit. If you follow the game plan this time you will stay quit and that can scare an addicts brain. Hence, the reason to focus ODAAT. Each day the light at the end of the tunnel will get brighter, just don’t be in a rush to get there. Enjoy the journey.

Great days will follow the hard days. You are doing better than you realize. Remember 1 problem + nicotine = 2 problems

Awesome job making the commitment to quit! You can do this. You absolutely have the right approach, no going back. Never again for any reason. Welcome and look forward to seeing you post roll every morning with us.

Welcome and congrats on you being nearly month away from nicotine. Such a worthy accomplishment. Hang in there and feel free to send me a PM if you need any help.

Thank you for introducing yourself, and for being so candid. Congrats on 24 days!

HI there , my name is Tasia, I am 24 days into my quit . As a female dipper i honestly had a hard time even admitting that i dipped to other people. I secretly ( well folks knew i just never did it in front of anyone) would dip in my car when going to and from work, or out and about by myself , off and on for the last 9 or so years. Some quits would be a month or two ,  one lasted about a year give or take, but i'd tell myself that i could have a can here and there and i'd get right back into it. Oddly enough i wouldn't really dip on the weekends because i was home and folks would be around.  I honestly ranged from maybe 2-3 cans a week.  Being an over thinker its definitely been a rough quit so far, i honestly had to look at the calendar to count the days because it honestly felt like less time had passed. A week into my quit we went to visit family and i had some tingling in my arm and down my whole right side basically which sent anxiety into over drive. Went to the doc and pretty much laid out everything about my quit and why i quit and etc.  Saw my dentist today and everything looks find but i am so dang paranoid about cancer and health problems related to quitting. I've had the headaches, constipation, irritability you name it since my quit , but the anxiety for me is the worst. I have been so deep in prayer about all this because i just feel defeated with how worried and twisted up i feel mentally . I am not going back though. Its fun for a little while, but then you start having to add more and more pouches to get that kick of nicotine feeling, and you end up just doing it for the sake of doing it, which is where i was when i quit. I'd tell myself, you're not gonna buy another can, and then i'd be pulling into the gas station, but never buying a log because i didn't want to admit i had a problem.

Well i guess this is the most all over the place introduction that i could have created , but there it is.

Welcome Tasia! You have certainly come to the right place. With such a diverse member base, you will find people here at KTC who have been in your shoes and can relate 100%. There are some truly badass female quitters who walk these halls so begin by connecting with them. Start with @ChickDip and @FLLipOut and they can refer you to many more.

The process at KTC is simple. Make a promise in your group (yours would be August 2020) by posting roll and then keep your word for the next 24 hours. While simple, this isn't always easy, so it's important to create an accountability network where you can reach out to your fellow quitters by sharing your digits (using 'My Messages' located in the tool bar up top).

Everything you are experiencing at this point in your quit is incredibly common. As you network around the site, you will see you are certainly not alone. Keep drinking a bunch of water and focus one day at a time (ODAAT). It's all we can control; tomorrow will take care of itself. Milestones are fun but each day you say no to nicotine is a victory to be celebrated. So don't get hung up on making it to some arbitrary day count. Just focus on today.
