Reading that kind of hurt, but you are so right. Tomorrow will be my day, not Saturday, and this is the only post I have, next thing i would do is start my quit group tomorrow correct? I'm assuming that's my next step, redirect my if there is anything else I should do please.

And as many of you have felt, I feel as if I'm scared, not of quitting because I have so many times previously for a few days, maybe a week or two but I jumped back on the bandwagon. The withdrawels, the sleepless nights, etc scare me guys. It really scares me.
Brother, get on LIVE chat, or get a phone number from one of us. We have all been where you are right now. Post roll immediately, Day 1 if you are truly quit, and get some help from folks that have been where you are.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

My brain is going fucking mental, I read that and I want to so bad but my mind keeps telling me, just one more day at least, my brain is teasing me trying to tell me im fine today, that i wont be able to sleep well tonight etc. Im like in fucking tears man, i want to be rid of this so bad...
Josh, glad to meet and Quit with you TODAY! I'm on day 7 and while the first 3 days suck, best decision I've ever made! Was chewing a can a day for 20 years and was scared shitless to quit. Not gonna lie, I didn't sleep at all the first night and had cravings like mad the next day (still do but they're getting better). Went and got some smokey mountain herbal chew, and z quill to sleep the next couple of nights and it's working!
I'm a newbie round here but can tell you that if you post roll, and listen to what all these badasses on here tell you, I guarantee IT CAN BE DONE!
Ask your brain if it's more worried about a couple sleepless nights or having half your fucking face cut off because you stuff that shit in your mouth! Sorry to be harsh but it's the truth!
Quit with me, let's do this together! I'm pming you my #.

no just how you feel and I remember being right where you are. I told myself just one more day just one more week just one more can. I remember wanting to quit when I was your age well 25 years later I finally did. I do not recommend that you take that path. Quit now today is the day

As I moved my quit up 11 days I sat at the toilet and bawled after 40 years of addiction. Addiction talk tells you to wait.

The place to go is the toilet and flush everything now and then to march 2015 quit group and post your day one today!!! You know future quits never come. If you quit today it will work. We all quit today not tomorrow or Saturday.

Hello everyone who reads this, my name is Josh. I'm 22 going on 23, recently got married, and recently decided that for my wife and future children that I want to quit dipping. So let me tell you about myself. I began dipping with friends when I was roughly 14 years of age. Throughout the years I told myself multiple times I would quit, such as when I turned 18, 21, when I got married, etc. I've been reading plenty of posts the past couple of days and I have decided this is where I want to have my final stand, with the rest of you, to quit and to stay quit one day at a time for a lifetime. I've currently set my quit date as this upcoming Saturday. Really looking forward to meeting some people and making connections because over time I have figured out this is a terrible addiction, one I cannot do alone. I have no one to keep me accountable, my wife cares but doesn't know how to approach the situation, my friends/co-workers are addicts as well and do not care to ever quit, and I don't really have any ties with my family. So that leads me here, after my long and tiresome journey, I was lead here to this site seeking help. I don't really know where else to go from here but I look forward to hearing from you all!
-Josh
