Day 1...Almost...

[Nomore1959]

Day 5 already!


I have been sleeping like shit, tossing and turning all night, which leads to tired days. Not like the fog, I'm actually tired. When does this shit stop messing with my sleep so I can get a good night's sleep already?


Cravings are manageable, and everything else is a work in progress as well.

No dip since Sunday, that's the important part.

It is different for everybody. Sleep took a while for me (don't remember how long), cutting back on coffee helped as the caffeine was no longer balanced by nicotine.

Day 4 is awesome SeanK! I can't wait to see your name on roll with mine tomorrow.

I quit with you buddy.

Worktowin: You got that shit right! Bank account was a non issue, thankfully, since the money I transferred in got there in time. The keyboard...had a spare one lying around. We're all good!

Day 4!

Had to take a 5 min break from writing this because I just spilled a full cup of coffee all over my desk. I cleaned it up, no biggie. Not the end of the world, I didn't even lose my temper today! I just thought of all the times I spilled my dip spit on shit, and smiled that THIS was just black coffee (I'm not a cream or sugar kind of guy, the military did that to me).

So, got my refill, and just wanted to thank all of you again for having my back. It's been about 84 hours without nicotine, so it should be about out of my system by this point, right?

Yep, should be flushed! Congrats on getting to day 4 Sean. That takes a lot of work and a solid grip on the cajones to make it that far. Keep it up and you'll be amazed how much better it gets.

P.S. I heard that on the dip spit too. The worst one I was playing Goal! on NES with one of my buddies for old times sake. We both had big wads in and drinking beer (as we always did). Anyone, we're in the quarterfinals of the World Cup and my buddy scores an epic goal to put us ahead with like 30 seconds left. I jump off the couch, kick the spitter, and it spilled all over their off-white carpet. Needless to say, it was really off-white after that. We were both ninjas so we moved the couch to try to hide it from his wife. Never heard anything about it so maybe it worked? Anyway, glad to not have to worry about that stuff any more. Keep up the good work!

Hey Sean!

I hope the day is going as well as it can for you. Make sure to drink lots of water to help flush what's left of the nicotine out of your body. Pretty soon it'll be out of your bloodstream, and then it'll all be one big head game. Also, exercise of any kind is great for killing cravings, helping you sleep at night, or just giving yourself something to do to get your mind off of dip. Even if it's just going for a walk.

Take care!

Nicotine makes you do whack things. Some people get crazy rage... Normally they are calm people but the nicotine withdrawals make them crazy angry when things like pens don't work, and then the fuck up their desks and shatter their keyboards. Sometimes they pay bills out of the wrong bank account because they are so foggy.

Just examples. Haha.

Dude you are killing it. The nicotine is almost out of your system, and then you can start reprogramming and healing. It is an honor to quit with you, your fucked up keyboard, and your overdrawn bank account.

I like what I'm seeing in this quit! Lots of support and appears to strong in fight! Quit on you badass! Hell I use to get mad if the sun didn't shine. Proud of you!

Day 3- Here it goes. So far the fog isn't as bad today. There's a little irritation and I'm getting little cravings, but they pass. I got this with the help of all of you.

Thanks guys!

Stay with it. I'm on Day 13. Already feel a whole lot better. Stay with KTC. The support is Awesome!! I wouldn't have made it this far if it wasn't for all my quit brothers. I am quit with you!!

You're doing great SeanK - think of it as twice as far along as yesterday. :D

Do post roll but don't stress out about it. They will fix it for you when you fuck up and put your name in the wrong place. With the fog it took me 3 days to get my roll post correct I think. LOL

I've been trying to document all of my suck on my intro thread. I'm using it as a letter to my future self to never use this crap again!

I quit with you today.

This December group is as bad ass as any new group that I've seen in a long time. Exciting to watch. Once the fog clears you will be like a quit freight train.

Thanks everyone!

I have read some of KingNothing's posts, he's the man. He calls out people who bitch out on quitting.

I am starting to think there's alot of ex-dippers in Ohio. Seeing alot of Buckeyes' stuff. We probably started because there wasn't anything else to do up there ;)
I'm originally from a small town near Cleveland. O-H!

Day 2 is well underway. I guess you could say there's a bit of a fog, since I forgot to post roll this morning. But I did it now!

Thanks guys! Today is already easier! The rage has died down, which was the worst part yesterday. The fog is still there, but I can deal with that. The cravings subside after a few mins, so you just gotta hang tough and not cave in.

There is no excuse not to make it with this much support!


PS - If I want to write daily updates or whatnot, should I be starting a new topic each day? Not sure the proper etiquette of boards online.

Thanks again brothers!

Just one topic, Sean. Nice job on posting roll, and congrats on realizing the breadth of support available to you. Your quit will benefit from this knowledge, I guarantee it.

Lmao! Sean I did same thing on day 2 except I never did post. I was so damn foggy didn't even remember it. 262 days quit, 261 days posted. Quit on!
