Made it through my quit day.

[Ronwv]

I can honestly say today was one of the toughest day I been in awhile. I guess I was handling the withdrawals ok. Only when I took my break or lunch at work. Is when those cravings hit me pretty darn hard.

I took my nic mints and they really helped that that edge off. Twice at work. I caught myself getting irritable and both times I walked away.

Out the the blues,a co worker asked if I wanted some free snuff and of course my mind and heart is going hundred miles an hour. But,I told him I just quit snuff and today is my quit day.

Of course leaving work. I smelled a burning cig and that s et my craves into high gear. Got in my car drove off while listening to the oldies station.

Going to bed,since the last two hours I been doing a project and was getting mad and the wife told me I was being a turd. So off to bed and hope tomorrow is A better day.emotionally. 

Thanks for the supporting texts,they made me smile and they came at the right time in my cravings and withdrawals.

Keep the quite and got it going on. Even if it takes a min to min to fight this.

Congratulations on following through and the first day of the rest of your addiction - free life!

Every day you get through will make the next one just a tad easier!  The first week is the most difficult, followed by the second week - and then I think you will notice it getting a bit easier each week after that.

Get through these first couple of weeks the best you can.  Just do it!

GOOD FOR YOU!  Seriously, you did everything right.  Not sure your wife is prepared for your recovery...Addiction is a family affair and recovery is as well.  It helps if friends and family understand the journey and can help to give support, here is a letter to a loved one to help...https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/thread/1878-letter-to-a-loved-one 

I was lucky that my husband had been through his own recovery and he understood what I was dealing with.  I am SURE he thought I was a turd more than once.

Hang is there, it WILL get easier.  Be proud of yourself

Big congrats on your first day won.  If you can, go for walk at lunch time.  It's a great way to refocus.  Keep learning new associations instead of using.
