I've been addicted to nicotine for about 20 years. I've been using around a can a day for the past several years. I switched to the pouches thinking I'd wean myself down but that didn't work. I was a master ninja, third order, grand wizard dipper. Of all the hats I wear in life, that is one that I'll be glad to get rid of. My wife of 17 years has always hated me dipping. I didn't lie to her, I just never did it around her. It wasn't fair to her though and it's time to grow up and quite this crap. It's been about 24 hrs since my last dip. Didn't sleep much last night. My mind is all over the place this morning, it's hard to stay focused on anything for long. I purchased the smokey mountain pouches and they seem to help with the cravings but not the withdrawls. I'm drinking lots of water and trying to stay busy. About 10 years ago I quite for 6 months. I then got into a very stressful situation at work and bought a can. I was naive and thought I could keep it to one can. That was a huge mistake. I was over confident.....and stupid. Nicotine got her nasty little fingers wrapped around me again. I've quite again now, and want to stay quite. I'll get through this one day at a time. Keep me in your prayers guys, I could use them. Thanks!

Hey there! Sounds like you know what it takes to quit and your not surprised by the withdraws. They can be overwhelming but just keep telling yourself that they are temporary! Quitting for good will be the best decision you have ever made. Keep drinking lots of water, use the fake, and yell and vent to us. Stay strong... Pm me if you need anything!

Welcome coolhand. Get over to the July 2016 quit group. This is the month you will hit 100 days quit. Post roll call every damn day as your promise to stay quit for that day. It is what is working for each and every one of us at KTC. Let's do this!

Congrats on the best decision ever! first 30 days can be very trying. I am on day 30 of it right now and looking back the suck wasn't so bad. Sometimes you have to go through a bit of pain to gain sweet freedom. Drink tons of water, fruit juices and then drink more water. Your entire world will be better with the water. Let me know if you need anything. I am part of the June Platoon, but, that is just a time. We are all part of the brother/sister hood.

Hey Coolhandjohnny!
Wecome aboard the crazy train.
The KTC hat..unlike the others we wear.
Will save your life.
20 years of sticking a loaded pistol in your mouth is enough.
Think about why you started back.
It didnt make your stressful situation better.
One problem + nicotine = 2 problems.
Its all a lie.
It's a childs way of running from his problems.
It's a selfish self medicating imature lie.
It has never helped a person....ever!
Truth is Truth.... Even if you dont care to believe it.
Lots of wisdom in here.
Best quitters in the world.
Let them help you EDD ODAAT.
I Quit with you today.
Great job posting roll.
Do it again first thing tomorrow morning.

Congrats coolhand on the quit.
An addiction like Nic is a hard one to let go. She will be back whispering in your ear once again to take her back, this time don't listen. Use your resources from this site to help you stay quit. Exchange some digits for when times get hard, it will help.
