Just wanted to introduce myself ... My name is Jim and I decided to quit the can after 15yrs . It has taken me a long time to get to this point and It wast until I was on my last dip that I began to stress out. Im worried and excited at the same time. Reading the forums has helped me tremendously. This is day one for me and i can wait for the hell to begin. who am i kidding this is rough .... 'Crazy'

I can imagine that there are allot of people who post and you never see them again. I can only hope my determination will be strong enough to get me by ... i have turned to chewing sunflower seeds to keep me busy ... any other helpful hints ? i am hydrating and keeping my mind occupied

Thanks Jim

John,
Welcome to the party. Let's start out by changing your vocabulary just a bit. We do not hope or try here. We do. Your scentence should read something like " My determination is so strong I will succeed ! Under no circumstances will I ever put that shit in my face again."

I am going to send you some information to get you started. Welcome to day one. Get settled in and read everything you can find here.

STAY QUIT
Greg
It's not that some people have willpower and some don't... It's that some people are ready to change and others are not.

NEVER AGAIN !!

"I have been down here before, I know the way out. "

There is a huge difference between a commitment of 99% and a commitment of 100%

Jim,
Welcome to the quit!! Sounds like you've got your head screwed on straight. I chew gum like crazy. Mint, usually...sometimes I'll take a little cayenne pepper and sprinkle it on the gum. Gives a nice kick. Drinking a ton of water is good too.

Reach out to anyone of us if you need to vent. Post roll every day. Stay with us one day at a time.

Glad to be quit with today.

Outstanding. If the grumpy lion wants to stretch his vocal cords he can get his ass out of the jungle and into chat or any thread. Don't take it out on your family. Take your dip rage out on one of us. Hell I love a good cuss session.
