November 8, 20187 yr Hello all. I finally decided to log in and make this a thing. Im 17, almost 18 days quit at this moment. Pretty good so far, and I’ve made it through a lot of triggers and stresses from work, so I’m pretty proud to be where I’m at right now. I’m excited, about to have a baby girl any day now. Quit for lots of reasons, but mostly for me. Right now I’m just relaxing and taking everything one day at a time.
November 8, 20187 yr Hi SCS, you're doing great. Hell week and heck week in the rear.. This is a good timeline video for you to watch
November 8, 20187 yr Welcome SecondChanceSailor and congratulations on almost 18 days quit. The first month is by far the hardest so just hang in there and keep saying NOPE. You're so smart to quit this young. I wish I had of. You'll find a lot of support here as well as tons of things to read to both educate yourself on this addiction and keep your mind off the misery. I'm glad you had a good day yesterday, it gives you a glimpse of the good days ahead. Congratulations on your baby girl and I thank you for your service Edited November 8, 20187 yr by jillar
