Check out the links on here about Tom Kern, similar to why you want to quit. Day 2 was worse day for me, it gets better though. Stay strong, YOU CAN DO IT.

Congratulations on a great decision.

One day at a time gets it done. There is no other way to do it.
Grit your fucking teeth and man up like the fucking stud you are. I'm right there with you, and I promise not to dip today

Quit- 2.10.10, HOF- 5.20.10

My Quit.

Hi Jran,

We don't try here, or wish or hope.. We Do.

We do quit one day at a time using a very simple program:

1. Post roll first thing in your day: This is not your status- it is a promise to all of us that you will not use nicotine in any form just for today.

2. Honor that promise

3. Wake up tomorrow and start at step 1.

We never look farther ahead than today. You can do anything for 24 hours, Yes? Good. Post roll, take nicotine off the table for today. Worry about tomorrow when tomorrow comes. You already completed 2 of the toughest days, and it is going to get dramatically easier and better VERY soon.

Glad to be quit with you,

30

Hey guys...just wanted to introduce myself and say that I'm really glad to have found this forum. I have been dipping for about 15 years and have made some efforts to quit in the past with some being more successful than others. I actually quit for over a year right after college, but got sucked back in again by a roommate. I have a one year old daughter and another due at the end of September and I have been consumed recently with thoughts of leaving them and my wife because of my selfishness. I just cannot do that and I am sick of worrying about it every day. I am very blessed with my life and I don't want to throw that all away because I was foolish. So, here we are.

My last dip was at 5pm on Friday, so I am a little over 48 hours in and October 1st would be 100 days. This week is going to be tough for me because my wife took our daughter to her parents' house for the week and I don't have as many distractions. But, it is also a good thing because I might be a little irritable as I get adjusted.

Anyway, please pray for me as I go through the next week. If I can make it through this week and next weekend over the 4th, then I am hopefully home free.
