I am on my First Day

[vbe931]

Quick post here. At the doctors office waiting in the room to get checked out, and for them to stick a tube down my throat to take a look at the damage I have done to myself. Posting this so I remember how scared I am, to help me in the future to make sure I never chew again, no nicotine what so ever. I will never forget this feeling.

Wish me luck brothers and sisters.

Hello brothers and sisters.  Today is day 6. I have had a very interesting day.  Last night I read for about 10 hours straight, until 3 AM, reading "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking" by Allen Carr.  It was recommended to me by the great quitter Diesel.  He was so right about me needing to read that book.  It really changed my life.  It changed the way I look at addiction and nicotine.  It changed my whole perspective of how I approach this quit, and how I will approach cravings that I will have for the rest of my life.  In a nutshell, its not a big deal, because I am quit for life.  I highly recommend it to anyone out there, new or vets.  I got it on iTunes for $9.99.  I got the version that is a new version that was written in 2011 specifically for the American market.  The original book was written in the 80's in the UK. 

The reason that I am bringing the book up was that it was such a positive experience for me.  The book reminded me that chewing sounds good to us, but in reality, it is gross.  The taste, the spit, the spitters, the smell, our breath, what it does to our bodies, etc. 

I went into today feeling so high, using all the tools that the book and this site has taught me.  I was flying high all day… and all of a sudden, I was not flying high.  I kinda was craving, and it was strange to me because I thought that I had permanently changed my outlook after reading the book.  It just taught me the lesson that I have a long ways to go, and that I am an addict, and that the nic bitch will always be there, but I just need to stay strong and realize that I have quit for life. 

And to add to that, I need to do normal things again and enjoy life.  Life is too precious to not live it to its fullest.  I was so preoccupied with my quit over the first few days, I sort of stopped living life, I was just surviving.  There is a fine line between being on the site a lot and being addicted to the site, as strange as that sounds.  Using it as a sort of crutch at the start of your quit.  I was using it a lot.  But I am glad that I was because I needed it.  After reading the book and changing my outlook, I feel like I can live life more normally again.

Tomorrow will be Day 7 for me.  I am excited, as that will mean I have been quit for 1 week.  I have gotten so much support from so many great quitters, I am truly blessed.  I can't wait to start helping some of the newbies in the near future.  I want to pay it back, the support that I have gotten.  Thanks of reading my post for those of you that took the time, I hope it helped you gain some perspective on your own quit.

Stay Quit!!!

Never be overconfident in your quit. The NB will pounce when she thinks that you have forgotten about her. Staying on KTC is your constant reminder that you are an addict. That's what happened to me a long time ago. I tried to ignore everything to do with dipping. Now we must face it head one and tell it to 'arse' .

I'm gonna disagree with Raider's wording a bit... Not the sentiment.

You SHOULD be overconfident in your quit! Own it! Own it like nothin you've ever done in your life! Nurture it... Love it... Feed it... Share it... Know it. It's going to make your life better... So, YES! Be overconfident! Again... Own it.

Never. Ever... Be complacent. Sticking around here will take care of that.
Rock on bro. You're doing it!

Exactly what AppleJack said... Never become complacent. But certainly be confident that you got this on lock down.

Complacency opens the door.

Ask me a week ago and I would not have thought the same way I do now though. This site and everyone on it has been invaluable. I won't let my guard down, because I wasted enough of my life with that shit in my mouth already.

We got this. July Dip Destroyers!

The Allen Carr book is great. I read it early on in my quit as we'll perhaps around day 5 or so. It sounds like your quit is solidifying. That's great. Keep it up brother. I quit with you today.

Carrs book is great. I read it too. If you still feel like reading more try "Freedom from Nicotine, The Journey Home" by John Polito. It helped me a lot.

Thanks rdad. Reading you recommendation right now.

Just wanted to share this post I pulled from my own intro:

Day 43,

Busy at work and home the last few weeks, at times I feel like I'm robbing time from my family to spend time here - then I say WTF how much more time would not quitting dip have taken from me. A hell of a lot more than spending a bit of time here -- even hours if I need them this early in the quit. I enjoy trying to help new members get the site figured out - get on roll and get quit when I'm having good days. I still have days at this point where all my energy goes to keeping me from walking across the street to the gas station I could hit with a baseball from my front porch, those days I come here and read HOF, WOW, quit gropus, wildcard and live chat. Want to say thanks to those who have played a part in my quit up to now - Thank you KTC members!!! Thanks vets for showing me it can be done, thanks new members for reminding me about the suck, the lack of sleep etc... Above all - thanks Rocktober Madmen 2012!! proud to be quit with you all today!!

Shared that so you don't feel too bad for using the site. It's a good thing, use it, that's why it's here.

What a week! I took my life back. One week ago today I woke up, not knowing that my last chew ever was behind me. It wasn't planned, I didn't think about it for a long time, it just happened. Destiny lead me to this site, and I became saved. I owe my extended life to what happened a week ago. Today is Day 7, and things are easier and more manageable. Everything is going to be okay, I just have to believe, and never use nicotine again. Obviously it is ODAAT, but it is possible. Many thanks to those that continue to support and help.

Stay quit!

There is a fine line between being on the site a lot and being addicted to the site, as strange as that sounds. Using it as a sort of crutch at the start of your quit. I was using it a lot. But I am glad that I was because I needed it. After reading the book and changing my outlook, I feel like I can live life more normally again.

Tomorrow will be Day 7 for me. I am excited, as that will mean I have been quit for 1 week. I have gotten so much support from so many great quitters, I am truly blessed. I can't wait to start helping some of the newbies in the near future. I want to pay it back, the support that I have gotten. Thanks of reading my post for those of you that took the time, I hope it helped you gain some perspective on your own quit.

Stay Quit!!!
