Title: I Quit
Post by: JReis44 on April 02, 2015, 07:55:00 PM
Hi everyone, I am quitting Cope for good and doing it cold turkey. I have stopped multiple times in the 26 years I have chewed but always seemed to go back. This is day 2 for me and it hasn't been easy, but I can do this.

Welcome JReis - you just made the best decision of your life. Like Rawls said its time to flush that poison from your body and brace your mind for a new beginning. We make a promise to each other daily here - for this day, we promise not to use any form of nicotine. We give our word and are accountable to each other. On day at a time. Yes you can do this!

Glad to be quit with you.

CJ

Great to have you here JReis! This is the toughest part - getting started on your quit and getting going on the beginning of your new life. It will be a new life, trust me. YOu want have to worry about spitting and hiding your dip from people. You will talk more. You wont have that nic bitch holdng you back from doing things.
Did you get in a quit group and post roll yet?
Be strong and be glad you are now on the right track!

So I've made it 3 days now, today I don't seem to be in such a haze that I have been in for the first 2 days. I'm guessing this means the nicotine is leaving my system. Proud and excited to make it to 3 days, but tomorrow is a new goal, 4 days, this I can and will do.
Thank You all for being there for support.

I made it to day 11.
I ran into a friend yesterday and told her I quit chewing and she told me I looked happier and full of life. She made my day, it was so nice to hear something like that as an extra boost to stay nicotine free and boost confidence. I am thankful for friends, both on here and the ones around me as well as this site. It has been a huge help in my quit.
Don't get me wrong, I still have cravings for a dip, but I promise not to give in to these urges. Besides my daughter said she would kick my ass if I did. :)

Well I made it 14 days, 2 weeks down and counting. I am thankful everyday for being nicotine free and will stay that way. The one big thing that would be nice is if the cravings would go away, but I know all in time. But for know sugar free gum and lots of exercise will have to help with the cravings. Everyday gets better. Thank you all for the support.

Well Done! two weeks under your belt and freedom entering your life. The nic bitch will keep calling but you have all the tools you need to fight back. Exercise, water, and your promise are strong medicine. And of course you always have your friends here only a text or call away.

Quit with you EDD.

Day 17. Life can be a real bitch sometimes, If it wasn't for this site and all the support I don't think I would be successful at my quit. Life keeps throwing me curve balls which would make it so easy to go back to chewing, but I am staying strong and will overcome this BS.
I've never been more proud to be called a quitter, I have made it this far and will keep going forward. ODAAT

Keep up that quit JR. The Nic Bitch is always lurking, just waiting for you to have a bad day so she can coax you into taking her back. She's especially convincing in your weakest moments. Just take it one day at a time and get on this site to read or vent until she goes away. It will get easier!

Well its day 19. I have notice that my temper is a little short these days. Life still not playing so nice , but have not given into temptation. I wish there was an "easy" button to push lol. Today I was so tempted to buy a can but refuse to give in, I will beat this even if it kills me. I can only chew so much gum and exercise so much to help get my mind off of this. I know I will get through this, I have made it this far and will continue on.

What these guys said Jreiss. every few dys I discover something better and more wholesome in my life due to being nicotine free. Just last night I was locking up the house before bed and it hit me that not too long ago I would already be planning either my last dip of the night or tomorrow morning. What a waste of time and effort!
Quit with you EDD! CJ
