Day 6 going strong. Surprisingly, I'm not craving it the way I thought I would...at least not as often. I get the urge, but it's only been now and then. I really thought I'd miss the actual act of dipping more than I have.

Super foggy on day 1 and 2, massive headache yesterday, but other than that nothing.

Thanks for checking in, much appreciated.

You can do this Tag! Hell, You are doing it! Whatever it takes to "not" put the poison in your mouth brother! Welcome to the best of your life.

Congrats. Glad you're feeling better. Keep it up one day at a time and it'll just get better. Be prepared for life's unexpectes events. Protect your quit. It's all about being strong and smart.

Keep at it. Days like these are great. Know that ou will experience ups and downs as this unfolds. Stay quit and stay vigilant.

How is the quit TAG?

[canless2014]

TAG, dunno if you've seen the quit contract yet. It's on the main page somewhere I think?

Anyways, it's a great idea to print that out. Put it in your wallet. Remember, you have some sanity now. You know you want to be quit, and you want to do whatever it takes. There might be a day where you don't have that sanity, and the nic bitch is whispering — sorry, SCREAMING — in your ear that it's fine to cave. Do the preparation NOW so that when that day comes you don't find yourself thinking, "I wish I had someone to text / call / yell at to get through this cave." My number is in your inbox.

Second piece of advice: Remember, when it comes down to it, at the deepest core of things ... nicotine use is a decision. You're a human fucking being — you can decide to do what you want. Every day you decide not to put that shit in your mouth, you've got our support, because it's tough. But if you ever DECIDE to buy, open, look at, and stuff a lip full of tobacco, I promise you you'll get no sympathy from me.

Quit on, +1 EDD!

Amazing what a few replies to a post does for the motivation and accountability.

Thanks for checking in w/ the advice. It has been noted and is appreciated, and I will certainly reach out as needed.

Tag - I like the intro as well except for romanticizing dip as your old friend but I get it. Soon you'll realize that is all bullshit but I get it. I'm 38 and started when I was 16 and I have 2 young kids under 5. My initial advice is to dig in and stay close to this site the first few days. The fog will be intense but the more you read you will realize that we are all the same - addicts who stole time away from our family to go feed an addiction that was slowly killing us.

Sounds like you have the right mindset starting out. Post roll every day when you get up and make the promise not to put that shit in your mouth today. It's the same promise I am making every dam day. Be a man of your word and you won't regret taking your life back.

Do not reach out "as needed"! Reach out immediately and lean on the bada$$ quitters on this site. Do not wait one more minute!

You need to be all in today. That is the only way.

Worry about today only.... The past, tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, a year from now mean nothing. You control your actions TODAY ONLY. Focus on living this day and being clean today. You can do this.

I agree with this 100%. Your are going into Day 3, which can be the worst of the 3. Make connections now and be prepared.

Here is a good rule for you to adopt: if you are going to cave then you first have to get three quit brothers' permission to cave. Not through PM or text either. You must call them and ask permission to cave. Once three KTC bros say okay to you live over the phone. Then feel free to go ahead and cave.

Lighty - great reply. Sounds like something I'd say to myself if that makes any sense.

I like the intro, but hear me out - forget about February until it is 11:59:59 PM on January 31st, 2015. 100 days is a great goal and a milestone, but it is also a +1 day in a lifetime of quit. Do this today, wake up and post roll again tomorrow. PM me for a number if you'd like, you aren't doing this alone.

T-Wort is right TAG. You most certainly are not alone in this fight. Post roll, make friends , keep your daily promise, enjoy your freedom! Welcome!

One day at a time TAG, one day at a time....buckle down and focus on today, focus on each hour if you need to. Keep it to chuncks of time you can manage to quit. Sound like you have the correct attitude, and drive, desire, and WANT in ya to quit. Other than your Hope statement at the end...no hoping man. Buckle down, post roll early and everyday, and make this quit stick...

PM me if you need a number, you are not alone....
