Title: First day with no dip
Post by: beagler7694 on February 13, 2015, 11:17:00 AM
First of all let me say quitting isn't as much fun as starting was when 20 some years ago. I have tried patches and gum. Both just keep enough nicotine in me to want more dip. This is my cold turkey drop. Got 2 girls I want to kiss when they get married some day. That means I have to keep my jaw! No choice...HAVE TO QUIT!

Welcome beagler! Good job at posting roll. Roll is the key. EVERYDAY. Read as much as you can here, make some friends to help keep you accountable. I dipped 2 cans a day for 26 years. If an idiot like me can do this, you certainly can. You just have learn to hate the nicotine lie and want to be free bad enough. Lots of support here for you if you are active.
Be strong for you and those little girls!

Way to post Day one man! That was the hardest thing for me to do when I started my quit. Whatever you are thinking right now just keep on going and come back in tomorrow and post roll. Take rdad's advice, cause he is a kickass quitter here.

Congrats on Day 1 Beagler!!! Choosing your freedom is an awesome accomplishment and first step. I like how you said "...I want to kiss when they get married someday..." Do this quit for YOU! Get psyched up for this 3 or 4 day suck. I remember how pissed I was at myself for continuing to dip all those years. I've got a daughter too, so right there with you. Read my signature and click that link. Read that whole story of Tom and Jenny Kern.

FLUSH all forms of Nicotine you have!! Look in you coat pockets, glove box, hiding spots, etc. Flush em all down the toilet, even them patches.

If you read on this site you'll learn we're all about brotherhood and accountability. All you have to do is Post Roll, Keep Your Word, and Repeat every damn day!!

Get to know your quit brothers and sisters, exchange phone numbers with some. YOU GOT THIS. Reach out if you need anything.

Welcome Beagler, I am in May 2015 Quit group with you, 22 days Quit!, Good job on posting roll, remember to post roll, EDD (every damn day) in the morning to make your promise. I used for 24+ yrs, yes the first 3-4 days SUCK! Drink lots of water, post roll, and read everything you can on this site. Reach out to fellow quitters if you are struggling, and get involved, it really does help.

Gotta say that was a loooong day. Kept looking at the clock. Still I made it with no chew! Went through the house and threw out all my stashes and empties that might've had a bit left. Gotta get some sleep! Tired but wired!

That is correct. Nic is not necessary. Just evil.
