today's not too bad. I posted roll this morning, correctly this time and I will not use nicotine products today. I'm pretty excited, I added 20 pounds to my overhead squat max, as well as 20 pounds to my power snatch last night! I'm sure some of that was quitting dip related. Physically from getting that crap out of my system, and mentally from believing in myself. This is day 6, and by 9pm tonight, I will be 144 days dip free. Love the support here.
Once I added cardio to my lifting routine, I craved less: started running again and added an extra day of biking. Definitely agree with you about the mental aspect: when you know deep down you are a slave to a drug and too cowardly to give it up, it makes you see yourself as small and limited.

Bryan my friend as you can tell already this shits tough. But if you post roll EDD and choose not to give in to the mental suck of the quit you will succeed! Being fee from the olé bitch is awesome. Everything you do without dip is so much better. Remember the mind will be rewiring for awhile so go with it and don't freak out. The fog will come and go ,just drink plenty of water. Get numbers from your quit brothers and sisters, you may need them,most of us did. You will also be an angry asshole, so be prepared, don't take it out on the family, they didn't put the shit in your mouth, you did. Walk away come in here post your angry ass messages we've all done that also but it's much better cuss,fuss, bitch and scream here than home or work! Quit on! Damn proud to be quit with you today my friend!

Welcome Bryan!

Glad to have you on board. I'm Brian from Oklahoma. Bout to go mow the lawn w/o dip which is a lot easier in this July heat without dry mouth.

Anyhow, badass COLD TURKEY is the only way to quit. I'm convinced because I've "tried" all the other ways. No "trying" here on KYC. We DO here. We QUIT here. Our daily decision is not whether we are or are not going to use nic, but to figure out what we're going to do to cope and make it through the day. Using is NOT an option. Once you let it be an option again that's where you cave.

Stay strong. You're not in this alone.

I posted roll. Think I did it correctly, but might have gotten my name mixed with the old timers. I'll try to figure it out in the morning. About to go get a workout. I'm really excited to see if my workout times get better when I get all the nicotine out of my system. Thanks for the support. I came here because I need a little push sometimes and I don't want to fail.

Congrats on getting to the point of being sick of the shit enough to toss it.

I found that working out is easier without dip, once the nicotine is out of your system your body isn't stressed during the workout making the workout more effective, just something to look forward too.

Keep up the fight man.

bdunn, Welcome

Go through everything you own, and flush every last remnant of nic down the toilet. Cigars, cigs, dip, snuff, whatever, flush it. After that, get involved on this site. This is one of the best decisions you will ever make in your life. I look forward to seeing you around

Head here for your quit group and post your promise to the group that you will not dip today: Pre-HOF October 2015 Group topic/11203031/

Yeah, and obviously, I joined Aug of 2012, and never have posted. That's about how long I've been trying to quit. This right here is the second longest I've ever been so far, but it will last. I'm not going to cave. I'm better than that nic bitch.

I've been a can a day dipper of cope wintergreen for 10 years. Smoked a cigar a day for 4 years before that. I just turned 37 years old and been nic free since 9pm on Saturday night, July 18th, so I'm 114 hours without a dip in my mouth. I've been going through a phase where I'd throw one in for about 10 or 15 min, then spit it out cause I was so sick of it. Decided enough was enough and quit cold turkey, no dip, no fake dip, no seeds, no nothing. I'm very active in the crossfit community, and do a WOD 3-4 times a week, staying busy at work, and eating a strict diet of macros, set amount of protein, carbs, fats. Yesterday, I felt great with no dip in my mouth, but today it's like I'm back at day 1. Cold sweats, foggy head, exhausted. But can't sleep at night. And all my thoughts have been really disjointed so sorry if this has been hard to read. Looking forward to workout tonight. And I'm not buying or putting any of that shit in my mouth either.
