I was thinking same thing earlier today boy it fucking feels like forever since I quit even tho today is day 6!. The nicotine withdrawals are gone but I have the worst neck pain EVER! It's excruciating
Focus on day 7 my brother. It does seem to get better with each day.
On Day 12. It does get better with each day. I don't seem to have the major cravings anymore, just a few here and there that go away fairly quickly. I'm still finding myself sitting there thinking that I should be doing something (with the Nic Bitch), but I kicked that NIC BITCH out nearly 2 weeks ago...never to return. I stay quit with all of you!!!
On day 11 I still have some mouth numbness. The good news is it is not nearly as bad as day 4 or 5 when I felt like every glass of water was going to spill right down my chest. I've been drinking 2 cups of black coffee in the morning and drinking about 2 liters of water every day after that. I've chewed about 3 or 4 packs of sugarless gum just to keep my mouth busy. I've been trying to get in a little light exercise every day as well. I suck at exercise almost as bad as I used to suck at quitting dip. :P
The fog now actually lifts every now and then but there are still moments where I find myself staring at the walls without knowing what I was just doing. BRING ON DAY 12!
I quit with you all.
Mentally it feels like I'm waiting for the finish line. Like yay you did it! then back to the old addiction. but i also realize thats the nic bitch playing tricks on me and I'm not gonna let her fuck with My life anymore. December quit group FTW!
I wish there was a finish line. I've used nicotine for 35 years on and off. Every time I thought I had quit I kept going back. And going back and back for years at a time. I thought I could sneak it in every now and then. I thought I could just hide away and "ninja" it. There is nothing left to do but admit I am a fucking addict.
I think the only way is to post roll every day and leave myself this message in a bottle so that
future me understands why he shouldn't cave again someday.
I quit with you all peeps.
