I appreciate all the support. I got a ton of PMs from people wanting to reach out. I am great full for the help.

Day 1 on the books. Posted roll for day 2. One day at a time. Body still instinctively reaches for a can only to find an empty pocket.
Awesome stuff...I remember reaching for the phantom can especially after a meal. You will be amazed how your mind will adjust, but also just how ingrained this addiction really is/was in everything you do. It was those realizations, especially in the first 10 to 20 days that led to the eventual epiphany of "Holy shit, I really am an addict and this shit has me by the balls". Keep making your promise and take it one day at a time, continue to document your experience here so you can remember just how screwed up this addiction really is. Never go back.

Good morning

I'm looking at the replys on your intro. You have some serious support from serious quitters.

Now it's time to post your day2 roll and make your promise.

You have support. The rest is up to you.

Thanks for all the support and tough love! I KNOW I will make it through today. I am glad you guys encouraged me to take off the patch this morning.
Good job so far. Here is someting to do, read this: http://www.killthecan.org/additional-re ... w-a-holic/

There is more where that came from. When you need something to do or you have a crave, start reading the site. Takes your mind off the crave and you will learn about quitting and addiciton.

It's only 3PM but so far so good.  Got some chewing gum out of the vending machine.  It seem to make my crave worse.  I feel a bit light headed too.
That the fog brother. You can expect that for a few days. embrace it, learn to like it, drink lots of water and sleep if you can.
You will never want to repeat the first 4 days again. Embrace the suck, fight the fog. Don't let you screw yourself.

I took it off around 7:30 this morning and posted roll. I'm certain I'll get through day 1. Mentally preparing myself for the after lunch crave.
OK dude, you're not going to like me but this is not a personality contest so I don't really give a fuck.

You have made the first step to quit but you are already defeated. Lunch crave, yep it's coming, shit crave, shower crave, morning coffee crave, start the truck crave, get off work crave, proud of yourself congratulatory crave, they are all there. Mentally prepare yourself JUST FUCKING ONE TIME.

Say it, say: IM QUIT, THE DECISION IS MADE AND THERE IS NO GOING BACK. NAFAR.

Personally, I'm not convinced you want to quit. You are just testing the waters to make sure you can go a day without it. Next thing you know you will be handing over $5.50 to Habib at the 7/11 and packing your lip full of cancer. Yeah, you think I'm wrong? Think I'm a dick for calling you out?

PROVE ME WRONG and I will be quit with you. I believe you can quit today so today I'm quit with ya. See ya in the morning sunshine.

Keeping a patch on is giving in to the nic. The first few days suck but you can do it. Let it go. I quit with you today.

I just posted roll.  I wasn't sure since I started the day off with the patch on.  I'm focused on getting through the day.  At the same time thinking about how the rest of the week will be a son of a bitch.  As I type this, motivation is high, will power is high.  I'm not naive enough to think it will stay that way.  Will continue to post roll and take it one day at a time.  It will get easier eventually .... right?
Today is the day you quit. Your strength comes from that roll post you just did. It locks you in to no nicotine for the rest of today. Today us your day 1. Congrats.

It's gonna get shitty but you can get through it. We all did.

Drink tons of water. Get gum sunflower seeds fireballs etc to help with cravings.

In about 4 days you will start feeling better. Then it's all mind games. YOu post roll tomorrow morning first thing. If you are a man if honor that roll post will keep you quit.

One day at a time. It will get better. Way better. I promise.
It will get shitty as Griz said. Post Roll daily, first thing. The next few days will be hard but us bad-ass quitters are here for ya. You can and will succeed. Today is important. Listen to all these guys. They know what they are talking about. I'm day 6 and loving the hell out of it.
