Thank you everyone for the encouragement day by day is the key

I am a nicotine addict, and while I was an active user lied to the only people who love me. But I can live with that because now I am a quitter, and never have to be that person again as long as I quit each and every day.

We all have regrets, but we can't change them, so let's quit today and move on!
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Quote from: FLLipOutDon't let that list get you down, dieselgirl. Remember, this is just a list of things you are getting BACK! Those problems are other people's problems now, people who shove tobacco into their mouths, not yours. Because you don't do that anymore. You are quit. Proud to be quitting with you.
^^^^^ agreed! keep it going! step by step. You are winning, you have it rolling for now. Just keep each moment as your own, they stack up on their own.
Have to add my congrats to the two fine quitters above....you're doing this the right way. Stay focused, stay active on the site, honor your post, journal your thoughts. You're winning.....and that's what KTC is all about. Helping people win this battle against nicotine!!

Just one and you will be back to where you started, and where you started was desperately wishing you were where you are now.

I AM A QUITTER!

I used to take time every morning to go through some random book off my shelf and find a quote to
reflect on and consider for the day then I began to have a dip and look at my books then the dip just
took over and the book got left on the shelf last night I picked up one of my favorite books of philosophical
quotes and I read through it for an hour or so. Why might you ask is this a big deal its a book full of things
dead people said a long ass time ago.
for me its more of a taking back of what Nicotine has stolen from me over the years. I really got to thinking
about some of the things and its pathetic
*my ability to sit and read with out thoughts of needing a dip or trying to find my spitter
*relaxing car drives
*having someone (even my husband) help clean the house (god knows where they will find a spitter that I shoved out of the way)
* family meals without having to go out to the car for a dip
*confidence in my smile whether for a picture (don't get the side I have a dip in) or just laughing with stained teeth
the list goes on but its getting me down so I will stop that

all I know is I want this more than anything I have set out to accomplish in my short life and nothing will stand in my way

Quote from: dieselchick87Today is 1 week all I have to say to the can is a

Big 'Finger' to nicotine and the can they can go to hell and stay there

I know its only a week But I am already feeling so much better about myself
yeah I am still going through hell and yeah its a struggle but I will never
trade this feeling for anything in the world I am actually proud of myself for making it this far


all I have to say to everyone (and anyone thinking about it) that is just starting this journey is
keep going don't stop its is so worth it to give Nic' and the Can the boot
It only gets better and better, and you will NEVER regret your choice to quit! I just did my first really long vacation since I quit 2 weeks ago at Disney. I remember going to Disney as a user, what a fool I was wasting family time hiring a cab to track down a gas station. Such a joy not looking for a spitter at the Magic Kingdom. Freedom is awesome, glad you joined us!

Thank you Rawls
for the first day and a half I basically lived in the kitchen till my
husband asked me if I just wanted to move the bed in there I guess that
was his nice way of saying watch it!

Thank you for reminding me to start replacing cravings with new habits
my new dinner routine goes eat brush teeth and play fetch with the dog

I will do my best to keep all this advice in the front of my brain


FLLipOut
Thank you for the support and encouragement
I needed that yesterday!

Quote from: FLLipOutHey dieselchick, welcome! Looks like you are figuring this site out again, posting roll, with five hard earned days of quit under your belt! WTG! What essential oils have you been using?

I am a PM away if you need anything.

FLLip
I use Young Living Essential Oils Currently I am using Idaho Balsam Fir as a calming refocus when I have cravings tangerine and grapefruit in my water to help my body detox and peppermint for the withdrawal headaches

Have you used essential oils before?
Only when I ...nevermind.
roflmao roflmao roflmao
That's the Thumble I love.
Why did I even ask that? I guess forgot where I was for a moment.

Lmao.

Stay quit, girl, you are doing great!
The moment you Quit is day One.
Yes you can drink too much water.
Yes the fog will lift...
We breath, and learn how to deal with life without chemicals and lies.
Cravings will decrease
Replace them now with something healthy.
When I started... I ate everything slower than me.
Do what ever it takes.
We can adjust later.
I Quit with you today.

I believe.....

Welcome. This truly is the place to find the freedom your after. Just remember this, regardless of all the little helpful things that keep us going through each day, the most important tool is our resolve. Tell yourself "never again for any reason". Say it over and over and say it when things are going good. Then the words are there in those times it gets tough. Drink the KTC kool aide. Give it everything you got. The days of being Quit will just begin to add up on their own. Congrats on taking your life back.
