Intro - It is time x2

[rickddd]

So day one for me was a cake walk. Had some rough patches as I deliver pizza and have to drive behind idiots all day. It did get a little rough at the end of working a 12 hour shift with triggers left and right but I still managed.

I dont understand and maybe someone can explain this to me but I was unusually happy today. My theory is that I got out a lot of anger while driving and letting out some road rage that I was able to enjoy the other parts of my day. Has my rage been pent up and not getting my fix is allowing me to finally get it out full force? Or is my mind in full agreeance with my quit and allowing me to enjoy it.

All I know is I hope that every single one of my next 99 days is like today. Although I realize it most likely wont happen, its nice to dream right?

That is great that its going smoothly so far for you! Can't explain why, but I can tell you that its only 1 of about 15 different emotions you'll experience over the next few days, maybe weeks. Just remember that your body is healing with each different emotion that comes along, whether its anger, depression, or happiness.
Everyone is different - but my day 1 was easier than my day 3 and 4. Those were some of the tougher ones. I also had a few tough days in the mid-20's too (with depression), so don't let your guard down.
Quit with you today, bro.

Way to post that day 1!! Let's see you there every day ! Take it one day at a time. I'll quit with you today!!

[Icehead14]

Thanks guys. It's nice to know I have support. I'm definitley in it for good this time no matter what. No morning dip and to be honest I disint even notice. Now to keep going.

Applejack your completely right.  Time to nut up or shit up

Wt57 I'm not sure I understand what you are saying? You post roll every morning as accountability and to say you will not use nicotine that day?  As I did this morning.

I don't see you posted in June 2014.....get in the game and post roll....are you a quitter or pretender?

I did post. Hmm if you go back a few it's there. Looks like I need to repost

Nice job posting roll Icehead! Well done and great decision. Focus on staying quit for today only! Do whatever it takes in order to get thru this 1 day. You can do this. I'm quit with you all day long!

Thanks bud! Day one is starting to be a struggle. I realize how manny triggers there actually are. Lucky for me the guys I work with are cool and don't mind the extra anger today.

Atta boy.

Truth?... this will suck. It will suck HARD. You need to know that.
But... it WILL get better. I wish I could tell you when but I can't. Everyone has a different time frame. Keep this site close, educate yourself by reading everything on this site, get to know some brothers and sisters, follow our advice... it's not easy but it DOES work. 3 days and the poison of nicotine is out of your system. It's a matter of mettle after that. Rock this, dude...

x2. Just bring the quit and everything will work out.

Awesome guys I love it! This site is definitely worth it. Get a craving come on read a little. Maybe post something and everything is a little better.

Dunlap I appreciate it. I might have to skip playing for a couple days. I think that might be harder haha 'crackup'

You may have not noticed this morning, but another day you can't shake it off your mind. Either way you can always come here and tell us what you are feeling. I played ice hockey as well, Dipped getting ready and as soon as I got off the ice so I know what that was like. Keep on posting and reading and then do some more reading and read a little more on here. PM me if you ever need anything.

Start now.  Start while you're committed.  Don't wait until tomorrow when your resolve could weaken.  Take advantage of this moment of clarity.

I did. I posted it as soon as my last dip was out and the rest was flushed. At this point im 1.5 hours in.

Your definitely right tho. many times i said tomorrow. and tomorrow never came.

I think you misunderstand roll. You've made 2 posts both here. Go to the welcome center above and read why and how we post roll. I hope you're serious about quitting.

[MonsterMedic]

I just turned 25 in December. I'm 12 days in and I can tell you, this isn't an easy course you've set out on. But, it's completely worth it. The people on this forum are the best support system you're going to find to quit dip and nicotine. Post roll every day and make the promise to yourself that you won't use nicotine. It's the best way to quit One Day At A Time.

[SamNCSU]

Whatsup bro,

I am around your age and had been dipping around the same amount of time as you. I'm on day 25 and to be honest its still a REAL struggle but I'm getting through it one day at a time.

Here's some advice, this is what I do when I have a bad craving. You said that you had tried to quit for your family and girlfriends, believe me I did as well, it doesn't work. I've read on this site that you have to quit for you and only you. Well I'm not sure if I entirely agree with that. When I have a bad craving I imagine my future family, my future wife and my future kids, and I imagine having to sneak off every hour or two to throw a lip in, which is not the type of husband/father I want to be. Wherever I am whenever a craving hits I visualize my future wife and kids around me, and think about how much I don't want that around them.

That has been working so far.

Stay strong
