Day 4:

I have been trying to get up earlier in the morning for as long as I can remember. I just never had the discipline to make myself get up when I wanted to.

The past 4 days I have forced myself to get up earlier and enjoy the "suck". The first time I read that term it really stuck with me. The idea of liking something that makes you feel horrible doesn't seem pleasant. Then I remembered that I have been an addict for 10 years and have been doing that exact thing every time I dipped.

So I am going to enjoy it. Even if I don't want to, I am going to. I only have to go through this once and it is something that I have to do.

Fortunately the fog is lifting and I seem to have a little more energy. Only negative today is the fact that my head feels extremely congested.

Keep on keeping on.

I quit today.

Get digits... phone numbers from your group. One day they will be a lifeline for you, or you will be one for them!

If you want mine, I'm a pm away and will gladly share. Keep quitting one day at a time...

That's it my friend take charge of the Quit. You will hit highs and lows but trust me when I tell you no longer being a slave to finger banging a can is just pure awesome. Remember the suck so you only live it once. Welcome to the 1st 3 days of freedom

Day 3 Update:

The fog seems to have lifted quite a bit. Grabbed some seeds at lunch and that helped a lot with the craves. Drinking water non-stop and wearing out the urinal... Feeling much better than this morning.

ODAAT

Staying quit.

You're doing great Dlaw! The fog sucks. No question about that. It will get better...much better. There were many days that I sat at my desk staring into space doing absolutely nothing. I had to tell myself over and over that staying quit is more important than anything elseÂ…even work. Stick with it! Reach out if you need help.

Day 3:

The fog is real... Trying to remain positive and remember why I am doing this. I have been a slave for too long. I don't remember what freedom tastes like but I'm sure it is sweet.

I quit today.

Freedom fucking rocks! Bear down, you are almost there!

Hello,

I am no different than most of you already on this site. I am an addict. Plain and simple. I have been a slave for the past 10+ years. Slowly poisoning myself a little more every 2 hours or so. I easily went through a can a day...

My story may be different from yours though. I have never really wanted to quit in the past. Even after my wife told me that if she caught me lying to her and dipping again she would leave with my son. I always chose my addiction over anything else.

How do you pick an addiction over your own child?
How do you pick an addiction over your wife?

I am ready to quit, for myself and for my family. I will not allow my son to grow up the way that I did in a split household because of stupid decisions.

I quit with all of you today.

Dlaw
