What a fucking whirlwind of shit this is. Don't mind me, I just need to write this  down as a reminder never to put that shit in my lip again. Day 7. Figured I'd be past this by now. Crazy ass dreams and very little sleep ever since quit. Wake up at 7am wanting chew. Eating fireballs all morning trying to do laundry, wash windows, just keep busy but my brain keeps going back to chew. I have to make a decision every 10 min, not to go to the store and cave. I knew cope had a hold on me but never imagined it could be this deep. I know this will get better. Embrace the pain. I don't ever want to go through this again. Fuck lip turds
Look at it this way bro... Every impulse you beat down, YOU win. Every activity you accomplish without chew, YOU win. Every thing you experience without nicotine, YOU win. 7 days?... That's just netted you a thousand victories one way or another. You won yesterday... You WILL win today. Rock on m'man...
That's right! Listen to applejack you've made 1,008-10 minute decisions in 7 days. That's 1,008 to 0. Your a big time winner!!
Congrats on quiting. You got some work ahead, but be damn proud of your quit so far. Quit today and tomorrow with ya.

You're doing it right! Good to see day 9 is going better. You're about to hit a quick high that gives you just a taste of how great life without nicotine is. Enjoy it. You've earned it. There's more hurdles to climb ahead (some of them are big fuckers)but you've proven you can go 24 hours without it. Just keep doing it. It keeps getting better
Every 10 minutes will turn to once an hour, then a few times a day. It took me 3 weeks before I stopped reaching for my can when I woke up. Almost a year out I got into a traffic accident. As I walked to the other car I reached for a tin that hadn't been in my pocket for months.

Be patient, nicotine is a nasty drug, give yourself time to heal.

Listen to these heavy hitters. They speak truth.

Small victories are what you're gonna get right now. Eventually those little fuckers add up and you start to see the light between the trees.

It takes time though. Think small picture. In the grand scheme of your life, this is s very small timeframe of suck. You will not always feel this way. The fight is worth it, I promise.

You don't get to heaven without dieing first.

Fight!!!!

Not sure where to put this, so I'll just put it here. I didn't want to go to a doctor and get involved with prescription meds (kills sex drive etc) so I looked for something herbal, found a plant called "St John's Wort". They sell the extract at any cvs/walgreens.

I don't like being "on" stuff (why I'm here in the first place) so I just kept a bottle handy in case shit got crazy. Day 1 and 2 were smooth. Day 3 I was nuts. Mean as shit, grumpy, depressed. I took one and it completly turned my day around. Day 4 was smooth sailing. Day 5, today started with road rage and craves, so I tried the "st johns" again. Back to smoothness is all I can say. It's doing wonders for me so I thought I'd share in case someone else doesnt want to get all the way into prescription meds but could use a mood elevator.  *as always, read labels and consult docs if your unsure

between having this stuff on hand for emergencies and the atomic fireballs (thanks drome) I'm a pretty happy camper
if you had to share the road with michigan drivers, i would say road rage isn't driven by your quit. i need to go to confession once a month simply because of my commute. fuckin morons.
Fuck you. If you weren't on my road everything would be fine! 'Remshot'
Hey. I drive 8 Mile every day. The bad part that goes from Warren to Detroit. I see road rage on a daily basis. I can't display any back as I may get shot. Get on nine four, 696, or 75 and I'm a lunatic, as is everyone else...

"CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit. After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco."

Embrace the pain!  I cannot stress this enough.  It is imperative to keeping you quit.  Everytime the thought of just one sneaks into your brain you just remember you never have to go through today again....  Without those memories the thought is exponentially more tempting.  Memories of the suck are the absolute pillar of my quit. My quit brothers are the Earth supporting those pillars.  The thought of giving up my freedom is unfathomable
Embrace the pain. Meaning you would rather suffer than suck the cock of nicotine! If you quit, you are a cock sucker in my book. Hate the lies told to you. Chewing wasn't cool, it doesn't relax nor is it an escape from the real world.

Embrace the suck. If you post roll and keep your word, you will get to 598 days and love your freedom!

Nic bitch was whispering all sorts of shit in my ear tonight. "You don't have a family, you were more alert with me, I'm fun, you left your little magic pills at work"

Fuck that. So glad I got on here. Thank you both for talking some sense. Exactly the advise I needed at exactly the right time. Embracing this shit tonight.

Well done finding and sharing a great alternative. I myself use St. John's wort for a while as well. I didn't notice anything profound however, no one was permanently injured in the making of my quit so far so apparently something was well aligned.
