I quit today. I stocked up on hard candy, as that seems to REALLY help me. I stocked up on water to flush out my system. I have written notes to myself, printed out a list of quotes from this very board that I find motivate me, and even printed a list of questions to ask myself if I start to get the urge. I've got nothing to do but lay around all day. I've got people to call, though, if needed. I've got movies to watch to keep me distracted. This house could even use a little cleaning if I feel the need lol. All things that help me. So I'm ready for this day to get really really bad lol.
Did anyone else experience the dizziness/drunk feeling on day one? I know a lot of people become irritable and anxious...but I don't. I get dizzy, I stumble, I get sleepy, and I zone. It's very strange. I think I read that it's the carbon monoxide leaving the body? That's good news anyway.
Anyway, I believe I'll be posting here a lot over the next few days at least. I'll certainly be doing lots of reading, that's for sure. I love reading the things you all say to those who are struggling. It's very inspirational to me.
When I did that little quiz in the program here to see how dependant I am, I scored a 10. It only makes me want to fight that much harder to quit this thing. It's just another thing to remind myself of when it gets rough. Anyway, let the dizziness begin lol! Getting through day one is the hardest for me, but seems to be the most rewarding. Once I know I've made it a day, I feel a lot stronger, personally. So here we go.
