Day 24 for me today. It has been a bit since I last posted in my intro so I figured I would drop in and let people know how things are going.
I am finally starting to understand what people mean by cravings. In the beginning it was one big crave and I thought about dipping all of the time. This has been changing. I can now go for hours without thinking about it then all of a sudden my tongue swells up an I want dip now! Glad to really understand what a craving is and glad that I am not thinking about dip all of the time.
This fog thing seems to be going away. Although I still experience it, it is less frequently.
One thing that I had been struggling with is the quit consuming me. I was struggling to get anything done. I started an exercise program and that really seemed to motivate me. I am now getting a lot more work done at work, I am spending more quality time with wife and kids, and I am helping out more around the house. If you are in a funk, I highly recommend doing 20 – 30 minutes of exercise a day. It really worked for me.
I have been spending less time on the site (I still post quit everyday), this I see as good and bad. The reason why I am spending less time is because I am less consumed with quitting each and every day. This site really helped to put that all into perspective. I no longer need that, because it is no longer consuming me and that is a good thing. The problem with it is I am not nurturing the relationships that have just started here. That I need to do better with, because I do believe those relationships are a large part of staying quit.
Overall things have been going well and I continue my quit!
