Day 3

[gb321]

Question for veterans

So last night I had what I think was
A major withdrawal. Headache and
Weird feeling, big time fog.
But, I did not crave putting a dip in.

Don't know if that makes sense...

Also I can say last night after that episode,
I got the best sleep I've had in past 10
Days. Plus I feel great today.

Yeah I'm going through that right now. Not exactly sure why but it's still happening. Pm me soon

10 days is huge bro. Double digit winner here. Don't let that bitch start tricking you now. I remember back when, I was celebrating a test I aced and she started romancing me. She said, "look you can quit me anytime, let's go get a can and celebrate your success on this test." I just smiled and kept on quitting. That was a major turning point for me and I knew I would be adding a big plus one for that day.

She knows how to get you, be aware

Couldn't agree more. She tried last night.
Rough night but I beat her down.
She's backed off this morn But I am
More then ready if she comes back

Thanks bro. I'm quit with ya all!

Thanks man. Just listening to me ramble helps.
Kinda like unloading.
I wouldn't be 8 days without
This site.

806 days here. I haven't missed posting a day since I joined.

806 days ago I was diabetic. Severely. I had high blood pressure. And I'm talking high. My cholesterol was whack high. And I chewed a can a day.

Today I take no meds. None. And my test results are on the low side of normal. Do I eat better? Yes. Do I exercise more? Yes. Nicotine was the root of all if my problems. Fuck nicotine!

I have not missed a day of posting and I will not. 806 days ago I would have laughed if you told me id be posting this today. Rubble, I would have said that this sort of transformation isn't possible.

The impossible is possible through brotherhood and accountability.

I quit with you today brother.

I always thought so work! Nicotine had alot to do with almost all health problems! Thanks brother for that can't wait for next Dr visit. Rubble listen this brother^^stay quit get your health back, not only save your life possibly! Stay quit! Proud to be quit with you today!

Thank you. Thats how i feel. there will be a time when I will share with my wife this battle. It just isn't now. I've got a recipe for sucess, and I won't fail. Proud to be quit with all of you.

The Rubble 1 step program to quit Dip:
Step 1: don't dip

hahaha.

I will tell ya, i haven't been getting the greatest sleep...... But i'm hoping that will improve.

Thanks again everybody.

I like your 1-step approach.

Sleep will get better.

Tell your wife. Don't tell your wife. Do what is best for you man - you have a winning approach right now.

If I can help don't hesitate to let me know. No one ever regrets quitting. No one.

Thanks guys for the advise. I'll try and explain.

I love my wife, we get along great. What is weird, is our relationship has been close to the best this past week..... (my explanation is i am consience of what nicotene will try, it tries to bring out the asshole. I am trying to be proactive....i don't know)

Heres the thing. she busted the ninja years ago. I made an open attempt with her to quit (today realize it was a stop). i probably made it 5 days or so.

Here was the issue, wife is a kind hearted person, but has no patience with people putting poison in their body. which is correct.. She basically belittled me for starting, doing it, etc. caused fights (I know my irratibility didn't help). It just wasn't good, i felt low self confidence, etc.. I'm not blaming her for the failed attempts, i blame myself. But, it just wasn't what i needed at that time. I don't hold any hard feelings toward her for that, she is right. I just know, that i may be emotionally vurnable now, and don't need negativity. I feel in control, and have a positive attitude with this quit. I also think i am proactive fighting the nic rage, because it would blow my cover if i don't.

This weekend, we spent the whole weekend together as a family. No secret black Ops ninja dip missions. Unloading that baggage, i swear offsets some of the mental trials with quitting.

I realize nic rage is real, ive experienced it. But i am very determined to not let this quit effect my life in any other way. I know that nic rage will try to come, It has tried, but I am ready for it, and fight it down.

I realize 8 days, i have a ways to go. I realize there will be different trials come up. But i have confidence i can beat them. I realize this point in the quit, can be dangerous for some, you feel better, think you got er licked. Maybe let guard down some. But i will not.

Physically, I feel the best I felt since I started the quit journey. I'm loving it. I swear to god, no cravings yesterday until about 2:00 pm. and when they came, they didn't last long. I'm ready for them.
Don't get me wrong, it is still very tough. But it is very doable. After only 8 days, i'm excited to see 16, 50, 100, 300 days.

Sorry, i am not disagreeing with anyone on letting wife it. I'm just stating what my simple mind says

Stay quit, stay focused and most of all remember I've never read where anyone died from withdrawals although sometimes we think we are! Hang in there my friend it sucks till it don't is the best I can say because it's different for everyone. Doing great, time will come when you'll know it's right tell wife, till then concentrate on you! Damn proud to be quit with you!

I really like what I am reading in here regarding your quit rubble.

You know your own situation with your relationship with your wife, but my 2 cents is to tell her. It will sting at first but it will be worth it in the long run. Nicotine rage is real and will come when you least expect it. I was not a ninja dipper, but I did have issues with nicotine rage with my wife. The idea is to rage here, but sometimes that doesn't work. I read somewhere that when we "used" to have an issue with our wife, a lot of times we would walk away and go dip. Now we stay and go toe to toe over the issue. So issues that never came up in the past - now they do.

The other reason is that if you do this right you will join a text group with some of your June 15 brothers. 8 dudes on a text group means you will be getting random texts at different times of the day and sometimes your phone will blow up. It sounds weird, but it will absolutely solidify your quit. Try explaining that to your wife!

This has nothing to do with quitting but here is a good Yogi Berra -ism (which always put a smile on my face)

"When you come to a fork in the road, take it"
