Day 5 - over all very good.... did spend about 5 minutes in the car swearing at myself  while the bitch was playing with my head... so if I get any weird looks in town at least I know why (or I am just funny looking)



Day 6 - bring it on
I once sat in a gas station parking lot and got in and out of my car 4 times while I debated on going to buy a can. Made it halfway to the store door all 4 times. I looked dumb. But who cares! You and I did not buy that chew! At the end of the day that's all that matters!
just remember gents (as this was also mentioned to me too), but when you are in those situations, a quick text to a brother or sister can help reduce that time of sweating it. I too tried to fight through it on my own (like a dumbass) and what would have been only 5 minutes with a quick text had turned into an almost hour or more (can read it in my intro thread, I was around the day 30 mark).
Derek speaks the truth! I quick text, will help kill a crave. Flynn, I am proud of you. You are owning this quit. I see you in Chat, you are being active on the site. You got this!

Closing out day 4 -

Mostly good day - had to face couple of triggers head on today. Made it through - out of the blue the nic bitch starts with the sweet nothings.... a timely txt from iizphilister killed the bitch and also my phone (not sure how you did that - but the fucker is dead)

Some early evening chat with the vets / Waste  jaginvest

Don't know exactly why but just spent the last hour or so on you tube - was mostly looking for oral cancer survivors - and WTF - seriously there are fucking youtube vids about dipping - fuck them and the bullshit they spew. I know I am only 4 days into this quit but really this is what your going to make a video about? Look like a bunch of chimps eating shit...

any way - day 5 starts in 10 mins. see you all to post roll (in @ 7 hours I m going to bed)

You've just described what "quit" is.

Most of the time, it's easy. But there are some moments you got to put some effort into. Congrats. I'm proud of you.

Keep up the great work.

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I walk into a drug store or convenience store or gas station nowadays, and it's like, "Six fucking dollars for a can? Fuck that!" Then I go buy myself six dollars worth of Hostess cup cakes and a two liter of Mountain Dew and down it all right there in the store. Then I run laps around the store to burn off the calories I just consumed. Then I do a half hour "cool down" consisting of various yoga poses in the walk in beverage cooler. When the police arrive I am usually feeling pretty good.
$6.50 here in ol Tax a chusetts (so $13.00 a trip for me)

Thanks for the laugh .... picturing someone doing laps around the store/ yoga poses..

Day 2 done:

Was Day 1 repeat - I think I managed to do all the 50% to 75% brain capacity stuff I could (dont really know what I got done though - still have a shit ton of email)

Actually was a little scared to go to the pet supply store to pick up dog food by myself... normally that would involve a quick side trip to the corner store 1st.

Made it to pet store - got dog food made it home - no side trip - I was really proud of myself (in hindsite its pretty silly -  38years old being pumped up that I went to the correct store and only that store and bought what I needed and came right home - what have you done to my Nic you turned me into a 5 year old)

Day 3 - Feeling much better - clear headed - think work should go ok today :)

Thanks to all the guys that PM'd yesterday  txt'd
You're almost done with the chemical part of it all...which is the hardest part...day 3-5 were the worst for me. Maintain man...and yes, i walked into a drug store just the other day and celebrated a little victory for not buying any nic...it's the little things man...quit on

So, you see, the puppy was like industry, in that they were both lost in the woods. And nobody, especially the little boy - "society" - knew where to find 'em. Except that the puppy... was a DOG. But the industry, my friends, THAT was a revolution.

Thanks Erussell

Havin a real hard time actually doing any work today.... posted roll today. will make it till tomorrow and start again!

Really wish I could do some work though - (going for walk around bldg)
I was pretty much useless at work for the first week. Work will still be there. It will get so much better.

It is so worth it.

You can do this.
Ready is still pretty much worthless, but he right.

It gets MUCH better.

And it is TOTALLY worth it.

Quit on!

I don't know if this would work for you but I bought 1 dozen hot Krispy Kreme donuts one day before I actually quit so I wouldn't use for the day. I was planning to quit support free, needed something to get me started. Worked till all the donuts were gone. I didn't keep trying that though. I agree with taking time off from work. I would really take 2 or 3 days off if you need to especially if you have vacation time. Once you're through the first 5 to 7 days you should be back to at least being able to fake your way through work. Good luck DONT GIVE UP like I did not matter what, this might be your only chance.
