Unexpected Day #1

[Thumblewort]

Day 11: "Total Body Reset"

The first ten days were smooth(ish) sailing, until about 8pm last night.
Since then, my body has provided a wonderful karmic experience in the form of shakes, aches, chills, headaches, nausea, and one hell of a pissed off digestive system. An outsider would think it's the flu or something similar, but we all know better. My body is clinging on to the vestiges of the Nic Bitch like a high school girl that doesn't want to let go of her boyfriend to college.
As awful as I feel, the feeling of quit is 10x better.

This stuff is common. I had a lot of trouble sleeping and I would have cold sweats once or twice a day. Keep swatting away those triggers and keep winning! :)

It's normal. Have you had that first "awesome" day yet? Was about day 20 or so for me, so quit day by day because it only gets better from here on out.

Today. Today is day #10. I know day counts are just that- numbers. But, somehow, Day 10 feels like a personal milestone for me. That's TEN days in a row where I didn't even touch nicotine. The first 10 days of a quit that I will make last my lifetime. I made this promise to myself, and this is not one I will break.

The cravings don't happen as much as they used to, but the little habits are hard to drop-down patting my pockets to see if there's a can there, etc. I feel like the moodiness is definitely in full swing, but with my Dr's permission, I changed the timing of some of my meds to coincide when the intense pissiness settles in, usually late afternoon.

The chat has been the biggest help I've found so far. The guys and girls in there, definitely a few in particular keep me laughing, keep me strong, and keep me going. I owe them a lot.

So, I'm celebrating this day 10. It might be a small number, but it's big for me.

Every +1 is huge.

Huge!

Don't downplay any victory at this point. You're setting your mind beyond your addiction... revel in it. It's badass!

10 days is Badass! Way to be!

^^^ yep, congrats! those are the toughest 10 days, too! it keeps getting better, day by day. Glad you are finding what tools work for you right now. Chat is a great place for a lot of quitters. Building that network is key. You're really doing this good- just keep it up, keep being tough when needed and open to the new life you're building!

Girl you should be damn proud! 10 day's can be all that was needed to get you over the hump. I've got to tell you these badass quitters above me will lead you to the promise land! Listen to them, ask for advice it not only will help your quit but there's also. Keep coming in here and sharing your victories it helps everyone that reads them. Tomorrow you smile real big and when someone finally ask just say, I FOUND KTC AND ITS GONNA HELP SAVE MY LIFE! Quit on

That is huge! Live chat was my lifeline. And, really still is. I dont hit it as much amy more, but for my first 250 days, YES! It was a staple. Great to see you use that and help others. Happy double digits girl!

I've been watching and reading this thread as updates are posted - and I tell you, I look forward to each update. 10 days (now 11) of pure badassery quit. A few guys with 1,000 plus days chiming in because its stuff like this that fuels, invigorates, and continues to inspire our quits. Thank you for sharing this, congratulations on earning that freedom, and please - keep leading the charge. I just love leaders and you've succeeded in grabbing the attention of some of the best leaders here.

Keep crushing it!

Keep checking with updates Harvest- it'll help all the supporters you are building know where you're at-- in the meantime, keep kicking this thing in the, well, you know!

[pab1964]

It's getting easier!
Bit foggy today, but manageable. Pretty tired though all day.

Finally turning the corner and beginning to really believe you can do this is a great part of your quit. You are doing great. Just keep on doing what youre doing. Stay active. Well done Sister.

Proud of you.
Using your tools, and reaching out to others.
Best thing you can do is take your eyes of yourself at times and focussing on helping another quitter.
You sound like a Badass already. Love your determination HG.

Every little victory... celebrate.

You're winning and, sis, that's a beautiful thing.

Rock. On!

Hey girl, it's not easy. Dipping was easy but also killing you. We got your back. When I first quit 10 days looked like no way possible. Then I bought into this quitting thing and took all this badass quitters advice: don't worry about tomorrow, don't worry about 50, 100 day's just worry about one dayat a time and believe in yourself and use your tools you have and before you know it you will be sharing victory stories with others and giving advice. I see alot of badass quitters helping you. Take there advice, after all they have walked where you're walking now! Damn proud to be quit with you my sister! Quit on!
