Greg, 20+ yr dipper

[Buddy Mac]

Just weighed my self...HOLY SHIT...I have packed on 15lbs in a little over 2 weeks! I'm like a goat, I'm eating everything in sight! This next week I will be busy getting ready for my son's 5th birthday party, but the week after I am getting my ass to the gym.

Put on 20 pounds myself. Hit the gym though it will come off..

30+ lbs here in 79 days! But I've been working out and watching the diet a bit for past month now since the cravings aren't as bad these days. I decided trying to watch my diet and quit and work out all at the same time were just going to be too much for a wh ile after I quit. Losing weight is easy.

I learned early in my quit what to eat as often as I want without gaining a pound.

So I had my first dip dream last night and son of a bitch if it wasn't a realistic piece of shit. I never remember my dreams, but I remember this one. I was at a gas station and bought 4 cans, 2 of which the girl clerk gave me were the wrong kind. She gave me grizzly and a skoal apple, when I clearly told her that I wanted skoal extra wintergreen and this set me off. I went off on a rampage on her, which ended with me putting a big fatty in and spitting on the counter :blink: It was so real that I woke up and felt very guilty for caving and breaking my quit promise. Once I realized it was a dream I laughed a little bit as I realized that the nic bitch was very desperate now and was trying everything to get me back, to which I say bring it on bitch.

Day 12, I am QLF today.

Takes me back to my first dream. Isn't it amazing how real it is? I was guilty for a couple days. Fortunately I had some good brothers that went through it as well.

You attitude is excellent after that. I wish I had that ability at your stage in the game.
You will be going into some funks and fogs.

Be prepared and ready. It may come on in an instant. Just recognize it as a phase and your brain is learning how to function with clean fuel and no poison. Just post roll, keep your word, repeat and trust me when I say it is only one of many phases but each one that passes, you quit and freedom become more enjoyable.

Day 86 for me and I am on fire. I love being quit. I have only had two dip dreams. The second one was a piece of cake. In fact is was a joke of a dream.

Day 10 of my quit and I feel great. No craves since a couple of days ago.

These past 10 days have been amazing. I have spent so much more time with my family now that I dont need to get away every couple of hours to get a fix. I used to stay up late so that I could get in that last dip, but now that I am going to bed with the wife and my breath doesnt smell like a rotten skunks ass, well lets just say things are good B)

Proud to be quit with all of you!

Had my first strong crave today. I had to run some errands while my wife and kids were swimming at the YMCA after my boys preschool graduation party. All I had to do was run to the bank before they closed and come back, but as soon as I got going down the street, the crave kicked in, and boy was it a strong one. I was actually reaching for my phone to get some numbers from a couple of guys on here to talk my way through it, but realized I left it at home :angry: I basically just gave myself tunell vision. I focused on getting to the bank and then getting back and once I was back I was ok as I was able to get my trunks on and hop in the water to play with the family and after that all was ok.

Day 6 is almost in the books, it was rough for about 30 minutes, but after defeating that crave I feel even stronger in my quit. I told my wife about my crave and she said " getting craves is nothing to be ashamed of, pushing through the crave is something to be proud of" God I love that woman!

That is a great victory right there. Great job. Stay strong and continue to stay close to this site. Get those numbers and use them - they have bailed me out many times now. Plus, gaining some damn good friends. Pm me if you need more numbers.

Thanks for sharing the victory - your wife is right, you will have to fight your ass off but the feeling of defeating those craves and kicking the nic bitch to the curb is amazing. Keep on fighting.

Hey Shoogie,
Anyone with a Chris Farley avatar is a cool mofo in my book! If you made it to day 6, you can make it to day 60, buddy -- the hardest part is up front. Hang in there, it gets better bro. PM me if you need a number, I'm proud to quit with you today.

Stay strong.

So other then the dizzy spell, yesterday wasnt too bad. No strong cravings. I think the dizziness was a combination of the heat, hunger and the quit that made it so severe. Just have to tell my wife that whenever it is hot outside she has to do the yardwork :lol:

Today is going to be a great day. My quit is strong, its national doughut day and I'm about to go get the family some breakfest, and then later today my boys graduate from preschool! Before my quit I would have been dreading today as I would not have been able to get my fix for several hours, how fucking pathetic is that?

I'm day 6 QLF today

Congrats on 6 days brother. Have a plan this weekend. Stay strong

[30isEnuff]

You the Man Shoogie! Congrats on day 6, I am proud to be quit with you.
You remember how pathetic it was? I do too. To plan everything around a stupid dip. It is kinda funny right now, but so sad for us then. What the hell were we thinking?

I really never thought this was doable until I came upon this site and talked with some of the veterans.
MikeA called me, they can sense when a brother is hurting (it seems like). He told me the rules, straight up and I could tell this guy is for real.
Made me feel good that I wasn't alone. Believe me brother, you can do this. Quit Like Fucking Hell!

Yeah, I'm not worried about it being too close to the real shit. I've used it a couple of times now in the past couple of days. It actuallt doesnt taste too bad, it's the feeling of it that I dont care for, it's very sticky. Maybe I will try the Hooch.

Day 5 has had some rough patches. I was outside doing some yard work and got really dizzy and got the shakes something awful. Had to come in and eat something and sit on the couch for a little bit. Feeling better now.

Yeah man the dizziness for me was really really bad. I couldn't frickin see, everything was all blurry, it sucked. Good thing is , it passed and so will yours. Hang in there..

Shoog,
Like BM said, it passes, but I remember that I could actually feel my eyes "boggle" in my head. I think I read somewhere that it has something to do with low blood sugar. Cranberry juice and complex carbs/protein/healthy fats helped me. Also, don't discount dehydration/heat sickness. It has been hot as hell this week, and none of us are used to it yet. Sounds like you almost blacked out to me. Keep up the good work.
