3.5 days. I am going a bit nuts. My cravings are horrible. I am being an absolute bitch to those around me without meaning to be. I have retreated to my bedroom for the most part and an occassional trip to the back deck to stand in the rain and think. I didn't realize how many things I did and had a chew in my mouth...almost everything. Trying to think positive, but my negativity keeps creeping in. I'm sure I drove one particualr friend crazy today since he and my immediate family are the only ones in on this. I'm afraid he will have second thoughts about trying to help me through this by the time it's over. Anyway, wanted to thank everyone here for their good  thoughts and well wishes. I'm taking it one day at a time...I guess that's all we can do.
dgossard, just get through today. Don't worry about being grumpy, that will pass very soon. This might seem impossible now, but trust me that it is much easier than you think it is going to be. Just get through one day at a time, don't look ahead. You can get through today. Deal with tomorrow tomorrow. I've done that every day for 105 days after chewing for 20 years and now I don't even think about nic. You've got this. Be glad this sucks, you will never have to go through it again and the suck will keep you from caving.
You got this, dgossard. Hang in there. I quit with you today!

dgossard, you can do this. These guys who tell you to take it one day at a time know what they are talking about. Post roll every morning, get through that day, and do it again. I was no different than you 100 days ago. I thought I needed chew to do anything or to be happy doing anything. I started posting roll every day and took it one day at a time. Only one day at a time. That is key, only think about the current day. It got so much easier ever day I posted roll. Today I am on day 100 without chew or nicotine and go through my days without even thinking about it. You've got this. Water, bubble gum, exercise, and roll every morning. If a 20 year chewer like me can do it, you can do it - your future self will thank you.

ONE FUCKING DAY AT A TIME, with a hell of a lot of will power, and determination. period!!!! ( you been there you quit for three months, you just dont cave!!)
I'll go an extra step and say five minutes at a time. Dude it ain't easy, and maybe we'll talk more about the depression and how that affects you. BTDT, and it is ugly, but nicotine is the devil's deception in dealing with that, this I know. You have embarked on an 'undo it yourself' project, but this site right here, if you allow it, will help you through so you don't have to do it all by yourself. Post the roll, every day. Quit for just five minutes, then quit again for the next five.

First place I would go for advice is here, lots of solid quitters left a lot of wisdom:

index.php?showtopic=5301st=0

You said you quit for three days. What happened?

Quitting is not easy; you did it for 3 months.

The only way I know how to quit is:

1. Post roll every morning when I wake up.
2. keep my word
3. Repeat

Dump your can and post day one now. Quit one day at time, starting today!
