Welcome rob. There's gonna be alot of weird shit going on with you. Let's take a second here to think about this, now remember I was right where you're at 317 day's ago, but like you I was really scared shitless! My body was going through some weird shit that I had never experienced. At times it was so bad I almost convinced myself to buy a can, I felt like shit and I knew my little tin friend would make me feel better. Then the help started rolling in ,guy's and gal's on here started telling me that's your body healing trying to get back to normal. See for me 38 year's shoving poison in my face was gonna take a long time to heal and I figured chances are some shit can never be reversed. Just like you 9 year's of that shit is gonna take a while to heal! Read the welcome center, learn how to Post roll, early, every damn day! One day at a time! More help , answers and advice will follow as soon as you post roll that is the price for help here at ktc! I quit with you today!

Rob... Is your head still attached to your neck?
You breathing?
Your good....
You were not created to use poison.
Poison plays with your mind.
Dont let it ever mess with you again.
You may die if you use it again.
Thats when you stop breathing.
Not good.
You can and will live a better life without a lie.
Drink water.. Exercise... Breath.... Keep your head straight.
Enjoy life without chains.
I quit with you today.

Thank you man.
use it as you need it. it beats shoving the real deal in your mouth.
I was using SM, seeds, gum and jerky.
Now I'm using nothing but, if I get that urge I will gladly grab a can of SM.
Quit on!

So I have made it a week now. I am proud of the choice I make every day now and I know it is for the better. Still having pain in the front of my neck and some near my ear but we all have to heal. The poison is no longer keeping its hold I finally feel like I am getting somewhere. Thank you to all of the people who have answered my questions even if they were dumb ones. I can't wait to be completely free from this garbage and feel good again.

I am at day 70 here. I still have some numbness in my mouth, mostly on the left side. The numbness now is not nearly as bad as it was during the first week of my quit. I am sure that my mouth is just healing from all of the abuse I put it through with dip for the last few decades. I get some headaches here and there as well. Taking an aspirin for it works. Buying a can would only hit the reset button on your nicotine withdrawal.
One week is awesome. I remember when I was at one week and that was about when I realized that I could really be free. I've made it 10 weeks now. If I can do it you can do it.
I quit with you today.

I posted here for the first time in my introduction thread on my day 6. Someone responded within 15 minutes, and then a few others responded right after that. This is an active site. There are people here who really want to help and who are actively looking to help others. For many of us it helps our quit to assist someone.
Everyone here should take advantage of that. B)B

Well said. I have noticed it helps me even to just read on here. And knowing that all of the pains I have are normal eases my mind a bit as well.

I feel like I post a lot when in reality I am using this page as a substitute. I now look forward to posting and learning during this process. I find comfort knowing there are people just like me dealing with the same problems and fears. I wish I never would have used that damn poison but I did now I have to do the work to be away from it. There is way more to life than being ruled by a can.

Another day down. The weekend is hard but being able to focus only on my kids and wife is amazing. They help me stay focused on this quit. I just wish all of these dang pains and aches from quitting would go away.

The aches and pains will go away eventually, but until they do look into those kids face,you see that smile its worth every damn second of the aches and pains. Spend time with your family don't waste any, were not promised tomorrow and we know we have wasted plenty on the poison! Damn proud of you! Quit on my friend!

Rob, I wonder if you are grinding your teeth while you sleep, or locking your jaw real tight and sleeping tense. That could explain the neck and ear pain, especially if it is the muscles. That goes along with anxiety, which is common withdrawal symptom.

Well I think my lower wisdom teeth are part of this problem with neck pain. It seems to be coming through a bit farther to the outside ad it rubs my cheek. That may be some of the neck and ear problem I guess thank you all for input.
-
Going to the dentist in the morning. Having a check up and look at this wisdom tooth that I think is messed up, wish me luck.
-
Got those wisdom teeth out on last Friday. Still sore but feeling better that had to be some of my pain problem.

Still quit here with February. Getting better but still having a lot of anxiety and stress. Some of the odd aches and pains still scare me even though I have been to the dentist like 3 times and he says I'm fine.

Nic is throwing a fit because she is gasping for the final breaths of air. Keep suffocating her, you can do this. Keep battling through the funk and just remember that using nicotine at this point will only erase everything you've gone through to start the process of earning that freedom back ODAAT. You can do this, just stick with it.

Well blood work is sent off for cholesterol and Doctor says I'm looking fine so hopefully everything is well. He did however give me anxiety meds to help calm me down.

I was borderline for statins when I quit. By the week before Hall of Fame, my blood tests came back in the "ideal" zone. Same with triglycerides and a couple other scary things the doctor was tracking. Nicotine does deep damage, but once quit we heal. As King N put it, suffocate the nicotine but take an easy breath yourself. You are winning.

Thank you guys for the words of wisdom. I just get scared about my health easily and the random pains in the front of my neck get me worried.

It's perfectly normal. What isn't normal is how your addict brain wants to react to it. You're actively rewiring it right now, but it takes some time. ODAAT will get you there.
