If you are on Day 6, then by all means post that when you are able to, don;t cut yourself short for that period of time, but also never forget what those 5 days felt like.
Get ready for the ups and downs that the mind games will throw at you. Read up on the site, reach out to anyone if you need help, advice or someone to bitch at.
And welcome to the best decision of your life.
And you will also see on the site, luck is not involved, you will post your word and honor it, luck does not come into play then.

Thanks guys I'm sure I will be needing the Somone to bitch at thread at some point :)...I just woke up one day and was like I'm sick of having withdrawals every couple of hours it just kept getting shorter And shorter in between dips, plus I only got 4 chews to a can so I had to keep it in my mouth for hours on end.
-
Sorry for the double post
-
Just need to vent somewhere.
I'm depressed about life, all of it, not one day goes by where I'm like hey I'm glad to be alive...my life has been a complete series of failures, I have quit prolly over 30-40 jobs in my life from stupidity or health reasons, have lost a family that I loved, live with my fucking parents at 30, work at Pizza Hut part time, have no money for anything, have sold numerous things to keep my head above water, lost my nice apartment, am gonna lose my car. Had to leave a 60-70k a year job due to injury/ laziness... Have not had a gf in 3 years, I understand why I don't have one now because I live with my parents and don't have a good job, but what about when I did have those things? I don't do drugs or drink so that's not the problem... I thought quitting was maybe the answer, maybe it was affecting my attitude towards life, WRONG!!!! Life just gets shittier and it's pissing me off on why I just can't have a normal life, wife...kids...job...car...house...and most of all happiness. I do have a daughter that is the world to me...however I wanted more kids than just one and 30 is a bit over the hill to be having kids to me....I've been hearing the same fucking story that shit happens for a reason and things will get better...BULLSHIT!!!! Oh and did I forget to mention that I have absolutely no friends and that is not an over stated fact... There are two people who call me my mom and my ex gf if there is an issue with my daughter that's it...getting more and more bitter and pissed off about life and just needed to vent because there is no one to listen. Furthermore I do understand that chew does not fix any of these problems (thanks sM) but my brain tells me it will. I am still quit for today
Please excuse the jumping all around in this post I do have ADHD and just kindof type what is going through my head.

Congrats Ribz. I am trying to work up the nerve to quit...
Good luck!
-
Thanks goss, I can only speak for me I was just fuckin sick of it threw my can out and done...I do use the fake still, about 2 cans a week or so but it's better than 7+ of the debol (waterboy)...my advice throw er out now brotha...shit takes balls...but I'd rather a fuckin company not make money off poisoning me to death... I'll be quit right along side ya when you ready
-
Made the commitment today.
-
I fuckin' love this- came on here to bitch and helped someone else decide to kick nic to the curb! Sorry to hear about the negative shit you have going on Ribz, from what I've seen only 1 person has the power to change your life for the better - not saying it's easy but you can make change, you've already proved that by being here man! keep up the good work and keep reaching out here and to your brothers in your quit group! pm me if I can help or even just listen (or read!)
-
One day at a time.
In everything we do.
I'm very proud of you.

Awesome Goss!!!!! I'm with ya brotha!!! Like everyone says one day at a time, you quit today and then tomorrow you can make the choice again. It's all in your mind no bullshit.
-
Hang in there Ribz. I don't know you but am pulling for you. Hate to hear anyone say that not one day goes by where they aren't glad to be alive. That's sad bro...and to me a bunch of fucking bullshit. Your daughter alone should put a smile on your face every morning you wake up.
I get life can be depressing and sounds like its kicking your ass a bit right now. Question is what are you gonna do about it? We quit nicotine around here not life.
Not sure why you thought quitting nic would turn yourself around. It controls your brain not good or bad breaks in life. Life is life with or without a cancer turd in your lip. I will say that if you can kick this shit with all these bad things going on around you, you are definately a man with some balls and a strong will to live and improve your life. I can tell you "care". If you didn't you wouldn't be trying to quit, wouldn't be on this site, and wouldn't be reaching out by telling your story.
Sounds like you acknowledge that you had a hand in some of the bad shit that's happened to you in the past. You cant blame everything on "bad luck". They say luck is when preperation meets oppurtunity. Might be time to get out there and start making your own "luck".
You WANT a normal life...then get out there and GET it. You're 30 not 60. Its not too late.
Anytime you feel like coming on here to vent, do it!!! We will offer advice and support in force. You have some friends now bro and we are all pulling for you in your quit and in your life.
you.

I wasn't exactly saying that no nic would turn my life around, I did however think more that it would maybe change my outlook...I read somewhere on this site about Someones depression getting better after they had quit nic but I can't remember who it was. I was kindof hoping it would be the same for me... But not as of yet... Maybe further into my quit.

Everyone is different. Me personally I was the happiest guy on the planet til I quit. Once I quit I became depressed and filled with anxiety...had to see a shrink and got put on AD and AA meds.
Not saying that will happen to you but like you said, give it some time and hang tough man!

I don't know if quitting will turn your life around, but I have found a little renewed self-confidence from making the decision to quit and then doing it. If you have the steel balls to face an addiction head on, you CAN change/improve any small aspect of your life. You quit is still young, give it some time.

Hey guys I had a question about the weight gain from quitting for the vets of the site... I have gained around 25-30 lbs like most did here but I was just wondering if it starts to go away after a while once your body stops freaking out from the quit....I do work out hard 4 days a week and this is the hardest time I have ever had trying to lose weight... Usually I can drop that ammount of weight through hard work in about a month. thanks brothas!!!
-
There is a good saying that says "get fit in the gym, lose weight by staying out of the kitchen." Its all about what and how much you eat. I can run 20-30 miles a week and not drop a pound, if I pig out due to the increased hunger.
Make sure to avoid eating too late at night in front of the TV to fill in the time when you used to chew. That is a tough time for me. Still battling it but still staying quit.

Lol love it!!!
I did forget to mention the fact that my creatine intake did go up a lot around the same time as my quit so some of that may be water but I wouldn't think it would be 25-30 lbs worth, plus I have to eat around 250-350 grams of protein per day.

Wow my group had 110 members to start and now we are down to 56 with a few of my brothers who are Mia for the past few days and could be sitting somewhere with a chew in right now. We who are left are truly some strong motherfuckers. Think about it, it has been said that nic is harder or as hard to quit as heroin and we just up and said fuck it one day and said I'm done!!! Proud to be a part of my quit group, this site , and soon to be hofer. Keep it up you fuckin bad asses don't be slaves ever again, don't let the nic bitch have your balls in her purse.
Ribz out!!!!

Hey Ribz,
that is the way of the quit groups, Oct12 had 95+ throughout the month post up at least a day, but we only had 35 ish hit that hall of fame day. and now have about 25 that still post regularly.
It happens. In chat I was always told of a 30-35% rate for the groups, so if you guys are 56 of 110, then keep it together and help push through for this last few days.
keep strong and stay focused and you definately my friend will be one to hit that 100 day mark and then .... well we will speak then..
-
Wow day 121 this is insane. As i go back and read some of the depressing ass posts that i had put up in october i realize that things have gotten alot better for me. Thanks to you all for just stopping by and helping me out along the way.

Ribz you know that saying "when life gives you lemons make lemon aid." We'll that a damn big lemon so it will make alot of lemon aid. Hold your head high because you are one of the strong ones that have stuck with quitting through all the rough days and have proven you are resilient!
