Mix of emotions

You know what is kicking my ass this morning? Not the crave for a dip, but that Diesel character. I am reading his posts from the airport on my way home and laughing out loud. I appreciate the support and sense of humor, I need that some days.

The craves still remain significant on day 17, but I am happy to report they are fewer and much shorter than just a week ago.  I am feeling better each day and followed some great advice I read here.  I am eating smaller and lighter meals which reduces the crave afterward.  I thought today of something I don't miss  and was wondering if anyone else did this.  I used to eat something even though I was not hungry, just to have a dip afterward!  How sick was that?

Thanks all for the support, it is crazy that I gain strength in my quit from a bunch of guys I don't even know!

Look here 3 lock box. I used to do that shit too. Id be driving around, not hungry at all, pop into a gas station, grab a bag of chips or candy bar, scarf it down and then throw in a dip. Why???? What the fuck was wrong with me??? Who thinks like that????? So dumb.

You're not alone pal. Take some comfort in that.

Never again for any reason.

Been there!! Done that!!

The craves will come and go Shed, just keep doing what your doing. Acknowledge the crave, dismiss it, maybe even get a little pissed at it, then go on with your day. Don't look now, but you are winning!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hows it feel??

It will get better, I still have dip dreams too but they are fewer and fewer.

Funny how it changes the way it hits you, the power both of the mind and the nic bitch. Here I am starting day 16, feeling good and out of nowhere, night sweats, headache, and the weirdest dreams. What a shitty night sleep. I am winning this so I have no worries, I know a dip wouldn't help me anyway. But it feels good to share the info, even if no one reads it. I am learning some things about myself the last few days and am enjoying that.

Now off to roll and to face day 16.

Rock it!

Thanks for the input, Shed.  I have read yours and many others and am releived  to know that I am not the only one that had such a F'd up view on life from the bottom of a cope can.  The words romance and nostalgic are pretty strange things to say about dippen, but I sure loved my can of cope.  We had many "special" times and I was always thinking about the next one.  How to recreate that first dip of the day pleasure, and it was near impossible to duplicate but still tried over and over throughout the day.  It was easy and hard all at the same time to kick her to the curb.  I am on Day 7 and havn't seemed to be a problem but I have been avoiding my chew buddies.  That won't last much longer so I got many more hurdles to get over.  I feel good about myself.  The burden is lifted.  Stay the quit.

Bull Shit! There were never any "special" times with cope. There was never a romantic or nostalgic feeling related to that shit, only dependency! In a month or so your eyes will be open to reality. Just don't get caught up in any feelings for that poison! UST and every form of nicotine can eat me, I hate it and what it did to me. Soon you will feel the same way if you continue to quit 1 day at a time!

Amen, brother.

Thanks for the words all and I get the play on names, been called it all so no worries and actually made me chuckle just a bit. 

Today is a good day and have my new brothers to thank.  Traveling for work this week and can't wait to do a flight without trying to sneak in a chew in the plane.
