General Discussion - 2015

[Keddy]

I am 60 days in and my temper is getting shorter each day!! I have read the stories and I guess I thought it would be easier for me. (HaHa). Energy level is up and down and my focus is not what it should be. Still worth it. Any advice?

Power through brother, power through.

There was no turning back for me. I had rage, probably like yours. I wanted to crush everyone and everything.

I spent time here. That was my release. I raged here.

Physical exercise is good, too.

Bottom line is, you can do this!

He said he "had" rage . . . .

Guess which drug is on top of this list?

The 3 deadliest drugs in America are all totally legal

I thought Botox would be on the list? Hmmm.

Alcohol is really a close second though; isn't it? 'facepalm''

Definitely still worth it.

Advice... hang in there. It DOES get better. When you're dealing with a bad day, go back to basics - water, read, post.

Also, this may be early onset of The Funk... in which case, it's totally normal:

I agree. Do you know what else helps it? Taking your mind somewhere else. Think of anything that you want. Relive your favorite childhood moment if you want to, it doesn't matter.

If you need to just keep your mind busy, I sent you my number. Don't hesitate to reach out.

Thanks to all!! Sometimes you just have to vent, like many of you that crap has been in my lip for 25 years.

i am quitting form tommorow.pray for my sucess .i had quitted earlier also for 6 months then it came back.now it will be full and final quit.no gums nuthing now its between me and can.lets see who wins

Why tomorrow? What makes that a better day than today to be a quitter?

Yogi I hope you quit today. I will look for you on roll in Aug 15. You are right that is between you and a can.

You are having a mental debate with a dead plant in a plastic can! Really how stupid does that sound? But all of us here know that conversation all too well, we just don't loose any more.

Agree with candoit ... don't argue with a dead weed. I spent over 23 years of my 26 years of dipping saying I could do this tomorrow.

There is a lot of power in the NOW. Right here, right NOW.

Dump your stash and flush it! Why wait for 'tomorrow'?

I've 'quit' a million times on 'tomorrow'.
