Yes, I have a plan for the weekend: make it through it. But first I have a plan for the next hour: make it through it.

Looks like the big problem for me this first day is going to be the fog. I've had messages from a few people, and I've tried to reply ... but I'm not sure my replies even make sense. Thanks for the messages, anyway!

And I'm sitting at my desk kinda staring at the computer screen. My brain's thought process goes like: "Does that really say zero inbound shipments for today? -- We NEVER have zero. -- Wait, is that Saturday's number? -- No, it says Friday. -- And is it a zero? -- Who cares?" And then I sit and stare at the number for a while longer.

Now and then, from sheer force of habit, I reach in the desk drawer for the can of Cope ... that isn't there ... and isn't going to be there!  :)

There you go hour by hour, minute by minute. Power through anyway you can. And by the way they quit making Copensmacken today and they recalled all remaining cans. F that shit. You are quit. B)

timetogiveitup I quit 7/9/08 6 days ago.

I hope I posted roll call the right way. I quit on sunday- six days ago after 20years. It has been rough. when will the physical, mental, habit withdrawals end? Or do they? Let me know . Thanks . timetogiveitup

I would second Chewie's response to you but also caution you a little bit:

What you are doing is hard, that's why not everybody can do it. For me, one of the hardest things was experiencing regressions in how I felt. I had assured myself that each day would be easier.... and thats just not the case.

The timeline Chewie directed you to is good because it takes this into account, but this is certainly not an exact science. I had what felt to me like the same physical "craves" on occasion when I was well past 100 days. I felt downright disappointed that I had put so much time and effort into this, but still felt this way.....

The point, however, is that all of the peaks and valleys of how you feel with your quit (be it day to day, week to week, month to month) ALL TREND IN THE SAME GENERAL DIRECTION:

It gets easier over time. Case closed, every quitter will tell you the same.

Life doesn't always work this way. With quitting it does. And that is a pretty fucking great thing about quitting.

remember... monday isn't the start of another dreaded work week... it's the beginning of another DIP FREE week!

Yay! That makes Monday a HAPPY DAY!!

And, in a logical progression, every Monday after that is even happier!

Woohoo! :lol:

it takes 72 hours to get the nic out of your body so you're well beyond that.

the habit part and the mental part take much longer to get rid of, but you're in the right place!

here's a pretty good timeline that will let you know what to expect:

Happy Friday Quitters...............got a plan for the weekend? If your're not quit, get quit today. B)

'ello everyone! (kissy face)

Hi there! :wub:

I'd be lying if I said quitting is easy,
but quitting is ...
daring,
powerful,
refreshing,
boisterous which makes us vulnerable and leaves an impressionable enlightenment within our soul on how we view our life today.

I mean you could continue listening to your addiction as it tells you "quitting is easy! You can quit anytime you want to! You could start it tomorrow or next week so why the hell are you going to start now when it's so easy to do?"

I'd be lying if I said quitting is easy,
but heck, what do I know ..
just a woman who dipped for 20 years and ultimately stopped listening to my addiction and quit January 4th of 2007!

So I'm asking if a woman can stand firmly in her quit, can you?
If you haven't quit, why not begin today?


Asking for help doesn't make you a loser .. it shows us you're a winner .......
