New August Quitter

[AppleJack]

I'm excited to get this quitting adventure going. I quit officially today (5/14). I have a couple tins of grinds to help with the physical craving of spitting and plenty of caffeine to redirect my addiction.




Caffeine? Baaaaad! Water? Gooooood! Seriously man, you're going to be putting your body and mind through the wringer over the next few days... The last thing you need to be is even more jacked up than you're already going to be.

3 days. That's when the nic is gone from your body. Help yourself along by flushing your body of the poison you've been soaking up for 7 years. Also... Don't redirect your attention. Pay attention to every moment of SUCK you're going to go through! Remember it. Dig it. Use it. NEVER put yourself in a position to have to do it again. You. Are. Quit. That... Kicks ass. Glad to help in any way I can. PM if you need anything. Rock it, bro!

Ok first welcome. Second you Need to go read all the stuff In the welcome center. Third post roll. PM me if you have a tough time getting roll figured out, it was hell on me. Fourth Greg is right this is going to suck really bad for several days. This will be pure unadulterated hell, trust us we just took our badass selves through it. Take it one day at a time. I am 15 days into my quit and dipped over 20yrs. Fith, finally you need to tell your gal. She is going to notice some weird shit with you. If you think your could drink a fith of crown with maybe.... Lets say...6 beers and her not notice you are drinking... Well then maybe you dont have to tell her. My advice is tell her, she will notice, better she know what is going on with you.

Hey all,

My name is Kevin and I have been dipping for the majority of 7 years. I am a young professional and I am in my second year of working in the real world.

I have recently moved in with my fiance, who does not know of my bad habit. I have been dipping at work, on car rides, while walking the dog, etc. I recently purposefully left my wallet at home before going out to a bar with my fiance and a friend, just so that I had an excuse to go back home to enjoy a dip on the walk back.

That was the last straw. I felt sick that I would leave my friend and fiance because fulfilling my craving was more important to me than them. I knew then that it was time to quit.

I'm excited to get this quitting adventure going. I quit officially today (5/14). I have a couple tins of grinds to help with the physical craving of spitting and plenty of caffeine to redirect my addiction.

I think the toughest times for me are going to be at work around 10 AM, the drives back and for to work, after meals, and when my fiance is at work at the hospital and I am alone at the apt during the weekend. But I hope with all your support, you can discourage my temptation to cave and encourage a healthier Kevin.

I look forward to talking with you all and quitting with everyone in the group! Go August!!

You're new but lets change some verbiage.

"No hoping" around here - only way to attack this is head on with no room for error - Go post your promise in Aug 13 and do it every day
