I am on my First Day

[srans]

You are absolutely living liife. It just sucks right now. It won't always be this way.. Scrapping by is what you have to keep doing.

Your reslove gets stronger every time you beat back a crave. You have to build momentum. It takes a while.

I am going to recommend you read "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking" by Alan Carr.

It was suggested to me early on by Skoal Monster and it was beyond helpful. Although it's about quitting cigs, it's really a masterpiece of the how nicotine really works and debunks all the lies associated with it. I think it will really help your head right now.

Hang tough bub.

Quit on...

I advise the same as the above quiter. Start learning your enemy, it will begin getting your head in the right place. Read everything you can on addiction/nicotine. Right now your believing a bunch of lies. Start arming yourself with knowledge and stop just doing enough to get by.

I since a lack of commitment. You want this then it don't matter how bad you feel for i don't care how long. That's the attitude you need to work toward. Once caving is completely off the table the real healing will begin.

You got this bro. 4 days is proof. If you can make it 4 then you can make it 5. It will get better. There is proof all over this site. Ask anyone with some time built up. Read hof speeches. Read intros from guys that have been here for a while. You want a damn good read, diesel's is a great place to start. There is someone that went through a lot but he held it together. Ask diesel now what he thinks of the poison.

You want this you got to dig my friend. Freedom isn't cheap but it's damn sure worth it. It's a good day to be quit my friend. Keep your head pointed forward, you won't be sorry.

Day 4. It's a different feeling. The cravings are still there, but it's more mental with some physical. I am having thoughts of caving right now, so instead I just came to this thread to post. I have to do this to remind myself that I will not take a chew today. The desire and the cravings are very strong in me right now, I have been fighting them with everything that I have inside of me. I had no idea that anything could be as strong as the nic bitch. I never realized how much of an addict I was, and still am, as I desire and long for nicotine. Posting this will help me get through this craving. Maybe I will hop on chat as well, that usually helps. My worry is that I will always crave this hard. If I crave this much, I don't think I can last. Every single second I keep thinking about taking a juicy fatty. It is exhausting. I have no space in my head for any other thoughts, I am just scraping by. When will my resolve become stronger? When will I be able to live life again, because what I am doing and going through right now is not living life.

I'm on day 31 and loving life. It's gonna suck, then it won't. Keep at it. You really don't want to go through those first few days again do you? I'll be honest, the first couple weeks were hard but your attitude needs to be 100% quit. You can do it!!! Stay on here and get in chat.

Remember the Nic bitch is crafty. She is waiting for your weakness. She will pounce when she sees you struggle. Are you strong enough to fight her off? She will whisper in your ear and say all kinds of shit to get you back together with her again. Time to tell her to GTFO and be on your way. Drink water and lots of it. It does help. Try some fake if you need to. I still use it occasionally.

Tell her at the end of every post. Hey NB 'Finger'

Man I'm so proud of you today. Really proud to get to know someone that has a heart like yours that's tough enough to do the hard work no matter what it takes. You are taking your life back VBE and you will truly get to live - one day at a time. I missed your post early yesterday when you were struggling - please don't be shy to use the phone numbers you got the other day on chat. We're here for you and that's why we gave you our numbers. Call text...we'll be there. Hang in there man and eyes forward. There's no going back.

Here I am, I have crossed the 72 hour mark. It feels so good to reach that accomplishment. I am not foolish enough to think the worst is behind me. I know it is still an uphill battle. 72 hours is just a marker, like 1 month, HOF, 1rst floor, 2nd floor, 1 year, etc. The quit never really ends, it's a journey. The nic bitch never dies. I am starting to understand what it means to be an addict. It is helping me change my approach and outlook. I hope the coming days are not as hard as the last 3 have been, but if they are I feel good knowing I have the KTC community to lean on. Thank you.

Just focus on today. Do something enjoyable today. Revel in your new found freedom. That's my suggestion.

Go outside and take a good look my friend. Look at the world without the poison desensitizing your emotions and blurring your vision. Freedom, smell it, taste it and feel it. After time you will want to kick yourself right in the A$$ for ever believing the lies. The poison has owned you for it's last day.

This is a new beginning. Take it one day at a time. You will have some more bad days, but my worst day without the poison in better then my best day with it.

Way to push through yesterday. Realize if you made it yesterday you can damn sure make it through today. It's all mental now. Your heart is in it, but it will take the brain some time. Proud to be quit with you.

Nice job, VBE. Keep up the good work. Quitting with you today.

Man. 61 hours in and things are as bad as they have ever been. The cloudy head is real foggy. The cravings are as intense as ever. I have just been laying in bed all day trying to sleep but can't. I am unable to get out of bed because this feeling is just so intense and shitty. I am having doubts that it will get better after 72 hours. Need encouragement. This is one of the most hopeless feelings I have ever felt in my life, I am extremely depressed. To be honest, I am in tears.

It gets better. You are in the suck and it flat out sucks. You are not hopeless. You are winning right now. I know you can't see it now but you have been quit 61 hrs. Not many people can do that. You are doing it.

Anything that makes you feel like this is not good for you. Time to kick the nic B to the curb today. The nicotine will be out of your system after 3 days!

If laying in bed is not working. Go for a walk or get your mind thinking about something else.

You can do this today! Fight bro!

Exercise, wáter, wáter, and wáter. Laying around and feeling sorry for yourself is not going to help. Candy, sunflower seeds, food. Have you thought about fake? I used smoky mountain for about the first 40 days. It really helped.

It's going to suck for a while, but you have to get moving my friend. 1000's have went though this and your no different. Reach deep. After 72 hours it will get easier. It's worth it, hang in there dammit.

Laying around in bed, trying to sleep...probably the worst thing you can do.
You HAVE to get moving. The bitch loves a sitting target. Especially in the early going.

You have to get the idea out of your head that if you go back to dipping that you will all of the sudden spring back to life like Popeye eating a can of spinach. It's not going to happen.

I think you want to quit, but I get a sense you want it to be easy.

It aint. It fucking sucks, especially early on. But it gets better, I promise.

Don't believe me, ask the thousands of others here who have been in your shoes.

Quit on...
