Day 2...

[SirDerek]

Hey fellow quitters...know what occurred to me yesterday while I was spending time outdoors with my family? I was spending time outdoors with my family!  I was doing that instead of making lame excuses so I could be off by myself sneaking in a big fat cancerous dip.  I'm realizing the sacred value that every day of QUIT is a day I get back with my family.  And there ain't nothin' better than that!  Guys and gals, get your quit on, and work like hell to keep it on.  Every damn day.

You'll start noticing stuff like this more and more my friend. I knew I was an addict after using this site, but I really didn't know to what extent until times with my family.

'clap' - nice when the realization of what we have been missing hits, isn't it. remember this feeling as its another piece to help fuel the successful quit

Here's to another +1 day right beside you....

Today is a day of past triggers.....walking out into the cold sunrise with a cup of coffee, gathering and feeding the horses from the pasture, letting the dogs out and watching them play, hitching the horse trailer to the truck, loading saddles, filling water tanks, grooming and loading horses, driving down the road 50 miles to sort and pen cattle for the day.

Every one of those activities used to be a fucking trigger.  But guess what...I made those fucking triggers by associating a dip with each one of them.  And so now I am un-making each of those triggers.  There will be dubble-bubble gum, there will be a kiss from my wife every time I need one, there will be tons of bottled water and Gatorade, there will be a hard smile when I get past a crave, there will be a new calm after I accomplish each task, there will be no rushing, there will be no clipped or terse conversations with my fellow riders, there will be calm.  There will be success.  There will be quit.  Day 8 rolls on.  I quit with all of you.

you have a great quit going on, and an even better attitude.. eventually the triggers go away.. you have my word.. proud of you

These triggers will subside, trust us. The triggers you fight daily are actually the easy ones to beat. After a few days of telling your brain what's up it learns to except defeat.

The triggers that are more difficult are the ones that hide until your having a bad day or something life changing happens. I've seen people lose jobs, wives and lives. They stayed quit and I expect the same from you my friend. Better than than,,, you expect it and deserve it. Your to important to give into the poison. Glad to be quit with you.

Great attitude, great quitting. Keep fine tuning your fortress.

Keep at it Zillah. Recognizing those triggers is the first big hurdle. I'm glad you can see them for what they are and you're working to get past them. Stuff that pie hole full of that gum if that's what it takes, but keep muscling thru the early parts, it gets better. Better than a week free, hell of an accomplishment. QLF with you today.

So day 6 was not as kind as day 5. Today was back into a version of the suck...cravings, distractions, irritability, itchy spot on my lower gum where I used to put in the first dip of the day, etc. etc. Must have yelled the word FUCK! 100 times in my car on the commute home after work. Now dinner's done and i'm looking for the damn ice cream again....keeping quit I will never again be a dip-shit.
