Welcome Reilly. Congrats on a great choice. Yes, this is going to suck...there are no short cuts, just white-knuckle quitting going on here. The cool part is that we're all in this together.
You took the first step, let us help with the rest. Post roll, keep your word, repeat. That's it.
Don't worry about tomorrow, next week or forever. There not here yet. Just focus on what you can control...right now. And right now, you're bad-ass mother fucking quitter. Nice work, brother.
Avoid triggers if you can. Read everything you can...the Kern Family story was especially effective for me...and STAY QUIT!!!
-
Has a mod contacted you yet? You should receive instructions on how to post soon, if you haven't already.
Also, ask someone to send you the "Contract." It is good quitting reading.
You'll get through this...stay strong, brother.
-
Nah no one has sent me the contract yet ill get someone to send me the contract thx

Hey this is robert can someone send me the contract please thx

Welcome brother! You are at the right place. Use the tools here and the support you will find and you can beat this addiction. There are tons of info as well as vets around who have fought the same battles we are going through. I am 48 days in and my quit is one of the greatest things I have ever done. Yep, it will suck. Yep, it will be extremely difficult. You can do this! Each day you get stronger!
-
Welcome aboard. Feel your pain, at least your ahead of me! I'm just a week in too. We all need help, from each other. Strength in numbers. I won't if you won't. Deal?
-
Hey this is robert need some advice on how to handle craves and triggers, haven't had much luck with this subject but I hacked through it,it just fucking SUCKS when those triggers get ya
-
Robert, I am really new to this (only 2 days in) but one thing that works for me it to have something in my mouth in place of the dip. Gun, hard candy, mint dip (fake stuff) all seem to calm the beast. Just take it one day, hell hour at a time if you have to.
-
Someone will probably come along with better advice than I, but the main thing is knowing that no matter what trigger comes along, you don't have a choice. If you post your daily promise first thing in the morning, you CAN'T cave. You've given your word, and you are a man of your word. My second or third day when I knew I was headed to a trigger situation, I came on here and posted my promise a second time, just for good measure. Just to remind myself and my quit bros that I gave my word and I'll be damned if I'll break it.
As the saying goes, caving is not an option. Do something else. Like parputt says, shove someting else in your mouth: candy, sunflower seeds, fake dip (NO NICOTINE!!!), bark dust, coffee grounds, whatever. Excercise does wonders.
Come on here and get in chat or just read anything and everything. You'll find good advice at every turn.
Above all, remember that quitting is the most important thing you are doing right now. PERIOD. No trigger situation is worth risking your quit early on. Avoid them if you can. If you can't, have a plan to deal with them (substitutes as mentioned above, escape plan, etc).
If all else fails, you better have some numbers from folks here to call or text before you cave. Those are part of your tools. Use them. If don't have numbers yet, PM me and you can have mine.
Ultimately, just don't put that poisonous shit in your mouth. Just don't do it.

Well said, very well said. The only thing I would add is sex. Sex is a great way to get through a crave. It helps to involve your wife or girlfriend in the process, but that is up to you. End result however is that whatever you put in your mouth, it just can't be nicotine!
Stay strong, stay quit!
-
I dunno if I agree about the sex, my sex drive has been close to 0 since I quit....which sucks. Chew gum and redirect your cravings onto something else, for instance...what would you really like to drink right now? Then obsess over that instead, it helps to misdirect your craving towards something else.
Ultimately, though, you have to just tell your mind that you hate dip, and that dip is the cause to all your problems, the reason why you feel like shit now, the reason it's hard to get up in the morning, etc. If you tell your mind it's all dip's fault you'll want to stay away from it. Hate it!
-
After the nic is out of your body, it is one big mind FU$K. Stay focused and in the present. If you can't manage one day at a time, then go hour by hour. Either way, that crap is not in your system and you are already beginning to heal. The mind games ( Nic bitch ) can be brutal...........but you really have to want this............you want to be QUIT with this nic habit. You are the only one that will screw this up........no one is putting this in your mouth..........god bless and stay quit.
-
way to go guys, support each other. I'm on day 79 and not losing sight. this is your daily fight to rid yourself of this crap. Today is all that matters.....
-
Hey wat up I feel good today no caves no triggers screw that tin bitch ,I'm enjoying myself today I wish everyone one here a good day and let's stay quit together and live life to fullest

Yes, I've been having same dreams! I'm sure we aren't the only ones! Our brains are trying to re-wire themselves! I've studied dreams and dreams usually consist of the junk in our minds before we go to bed! So being we are quitting chewing, it has definitely been on our minds alot!
-
That's the way it's done...Congrats!!! Post roll first thing tomorrow...that takes it off the table. No way you can dip after you give your word. Stay strong and stay quit!!!
-

They're not going to just leave. You're an addict and have spent years putting that poison shit in your body. It will always be with you. The best thing to do is post roll, keep your promise, then do it again tomorrow. Do what ever you can to get past craves, seeds, hard candy, toothpicks, fake stuff..Just do it.

Just tell him to come by and visit KTC and read about all of us quitters. You can't make him listen or force him to try to quit, he has to want to for himself. You can only support him once he wants to.
Once agin, he has to want to. Other than that just explain how great it is for you to have that monkey off your back.

Today was a fucking drag I had a major headache and tired it was horrible I'm tired of those drag ass days will it ever go away as the months go by
-

-
Hey what up I'm a member here I'm in the april quit group I'm going on 65 days today.feel good just having a lot of cravings,don't know why I need some numbers if any of y'all are in the april quit group or any others feel free I would really app it. I'm tired of this craving shit! Pm the numbers to me
-
First, some time ago, I spent the better part of an hour combining the countless threads you've started here. I'll give you a day to work through this one, then it will be combined with your old one. I kindly suggest you take a brief minute to find it and make it your home.
Second, you have 25 posts in 65 days quit. This tells me that you are not taking an active role in your quit and you are not posting roll call daily. You need to take a stroll over to whatever quit group you are in and start getting involved.
Until you take a vested interest in not only your quit, but the quit of others, numbers are going to hard to come by.
