Welcome MikeWC. Your definantely not in this alone. I work second shift and I usually work 1 or 2 12 hour days a week and every other weekend lately. Not as much as you but I know where your coming from. I am sure you have a bunch of buddies there that dip also which does not help. But keep your mind quit and scroll through this site whenever you feel like crap and post roll every morning and well get through these rough days all together. Keep your head up. Matt

Welcome aboard bud. One thing I would advise is no longer romanticize your past usage. Its best for you and for any JoeBlowALoot that comes along. We're reprogramming your mental framework. Positive reinforcement in some areas and negative dissociation in others. Get your mind right and your ass will follow. Its your enemy. And I suggest treating it that way. Personify it. If you know what you want to be and what you don't want to be, you can form a picture in your mind and start to separate the two. We want to separate that using addict away from the real "you". That's the guy who should be front and center. The other dude, we'll bury in the backyard.
Mike I'm always available to reach out to for help the only thing I ask is that you will be there for me or other quitters. We can kill this bitch together!

Mike..click on the pink welcome center in the top left of your screen. You're not alone in this. I have two small kids too and have a messed up schedule now because of football. Check your inbox fatty.

alright, I tried to post roll, screwed it up I think. I will try again in morning, if I screw it up again I promise I will not use tobacco in any form tomorrow (my day 5) I will figure this out, just having a bad week with a lot of overtime which doesn't give me much time to work through this. The main thing is I am here to stay.

I joined here over a year ago and never posted. Read a bunch of your comments, etc. Just couldn't get myself to man up and post I was ready to quit. I'll be honest, usually by the time I was ready to click off of this site I had a dip in and was feeling like shit. Thinking I would never be strong enough to stick to it. So many excuses, I work a swing shift, 12 hr days rotating night shift to day shift every 9 weeks....how the hell was I going to let go of my best friend? The one that was always with me late at night when I can't sleep and my family was all in bed? The one that had coffee with me every morning (or night if I am on night shift). Well like I said, my name's Mike. I QUIT! I am on day four with no tobacco or nicotine at all. I am using GRINDS which I expect to get rid of as soon as the feeling of needing something in my mouth goes away. I'm in a fog but it is getting better. My legs are wobbly, I've put on 5 lbs...WTF!!!!! Tonight I came home from work and wanted to tear into my family...they didn't do anything. Shit they had dinner ready for me. How messed up is that? I did this to myself. I am probably rambling but I am in the middle of working 10 days in a row, 12 hr shifts. I am going to try to figure out how to post roll yet tonight, but I need to go get some sleep soon. I am feeling like crap but at the same time I am going to take this head on and I have no doubt I will win, but I need help. If anybody pm's me with a phone # or whatever it is you do, text messaging works best for me. I work in a very loud factory and I have 2 young kids at home yet who always want to be by my side. I hope this all doesn't sound stupid, but I'm here and I QUIT!
