Dustin!
Welcome! The September Samurai Quit Group will be your home. Nice job posting roll call today. I sent you a private message. Go check your mailbox. Goto Inbox in the upper right corner. The private message has the same info as below but also has my cell number if you need help.
Your job is to honor your quit one day at a time. Just get thru today my friend...Do not cave in to the cravings. And then tomorrow morning, post roll again and repeat that every damn day. Posting our name and our # of days quit each day is our commitment to each other that we will not have nicotine in our body for the next 24 hours. You can do one day at a time right? That's how all of us do it here. We post every day and pretty soon you reach 100 days (that's why u r in the Sept group because September will be when you hit 100 days clean).
First things first, make sure you don't have any of that shit in your house, the firehouse, anywhere. Go find it all right now and flush it down the toilet. Do it now. And don't just throw it away. Make sure you FLUSH IT.
As you know, the first few days suck, but by Day 10+, things start to get a lot easier. Drink lots of water and/or cranberry juice. Exercise and sweat out the toxins. Stay away from alcohol for the next couple weeks so it doesn't weaken your resolve. It'll take 3 days for the nicotine to physically get out of your system, and then the real mental battle starts fighting the cravings your brain's nicotine receptors so badly want. You can do this. Many of us old dogs are 30+ year dippers and are now proud to be free.
Proud to quit with you. PM me anytime that you need help. Also, people here share their cell numbers, especially during the first few weeks because I promise you that you are going to want to text or call someone when you start having a craving. Really, really helps to have someone in your corner at that moment. You should get lots of numbers from other Samurai and KTC members for support.
PROUD TO QUIT WITH YOU TODAY.
