Hey GA, Your doing a fantastic job, I just got through the 72 hour period: the motherfucking suck, it was just like they said a FOG, I was feeling fucking high, because I was finally keeping that fuckin poisonous shit out of my system that my body and mind depended on for all these years. You got this, Everyone is proud of you. You got today!!! Like everyone said simplify it, Hour by hour or minute by minute.

Of course you will. And you know how? Second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour...just like the rest of us.

Don't think about tomorrow, next week, or next month...just think about right now.

Need anything, holla. The Diesel is always on call.
I hate the poison. I hated it this morning, I hated it for lunch. I hated it for dinner and I'm going to hate it until nighty night. I hate it so much i'm going to wake up tomorrow and start all over hating it. I say you might as well join me tomorrow. You got nothing better to do. I know diesel's going to join me. nighty night.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

day 3 easier than day 2?  I am fighting and i will get through today.
I'm going to lay it out there for you. Not to discourage you, but just to prepare you.

At this stage, you can't really compare Day 2 to Day 3, to Day 45, to Day 458. All you have is the right here, right now to worry about.

It sucks. We know.

It gets better. Trust us.

It takes a while. Sorry.

Think of it like this- You poisoned yourself for how many years? Two days isn't going to 'cure you'. You are going to feel like shit and be completely worthless for a while. For me, it was about the first 250 days or so. It wasn't until then that I actually started functioning like a grown up.

It's different for everyone. Look for the little victories, that will keep you strong. With every passing crave, you are winning!
That's some cold hard truth right there.

I struggled with that more than you can possibly know.

Always wanting to know, "when will I be better????".

Truth is, nobody knows, but I can sure as hell tell you it will be longer than 3 days, or even 30.

Not trying to scare you, just being honest.

Their is no "release date".

You fuck up, get a duo, go to jail...it sucks, but at least they tell you, "On such and such a date you will be out".

With this shit, their is no "end date" where magic unicorns come along sweep you up, fly you around and you're cured. It will not happen.

It does get easier though. You just have to take it one step at a time. Eventually you will feel better.

Not to toot my own horn, but go to words of wisdom and read my '"tend your garden". It is hart felt and TRUE of how I progressed.


You gotta find your groove buddy. I know its easier said than done, but I also know its gonna take more than 2-3 days to find It.

WE fucked ourselves for years by using that shit, but we finally
wised up and decided to quit.

Its not easy....its just not. It is possible though and the freedom on the other side is beyond description. Its one of the most beautiful feelings you will EVER have.

But we cannot lie....getting there is a MOTHER FUCKER and we have no idea when you will arrive.

All we can tell you is that if you follow the program you WILL get there, and we will be with you the entire time.
Just to add one thing to Diesel - guys like him, and me - WE are here to help you along the way. We keep coming back just to help pick you up when you don't wanna. Help keep you straight when you wanna turn. Keep the cat shit outta your mouth by reminding you every day - Dipping fixes NOTHING.

The only thing nicotine does is reduce the syptoms of withdrawl from nicotine.

Think about that.

Stay close to the site. As close as you can. This place has saved many a Quitter.

If you're hurting, hit up LIVE CHAT in the upper right corner. There's bound to be someone in there.

Just remember - You can DO this!

That feeling you're having is your body throwing a temper tantrum. Don't give in. Don't give up.

Stay strong.

Yeah, brother, it will be. Know what though?... You did day 1. You got through that bastard of a day and you're moving forward. That, sir, is badass. I kept my foggy butt so busy for the first 3 or 4 days I was putty. We're with you man... Quitting right alongside you. If it gets too bad, I repeat...
