Trying to stay quit this time

[sdsuquigs]

Thanks guys, I am loving this site. Don't know why I didn't look for it sooner!

Thanks all for the responses. I understand that the comment about enjoying it can come off wrong, but that's part of why I have struggled to quit. Recently I have been getting more and more upset with myself for allowing a stupid habit to jeopardize my health. And Shortround, those things that you list are definitely things I would love to have out of my life. I would also love to no longer have financially supporting the tobacco industry on my conscience. I appreciate all the words of wisdom, and I am glad to be here.

Man, I hear ya. I was angry at myself too when I first realized that i let this stupid addiction get the better of me. I also used to think I "enjoyed" it. There probably isn't a person here who didn't have that feeling...turns out that was just the addiction talking. It is strange how when you really think about it (after getting the nicotine out of your system) how foolish it all is...why is it so great to stick flavored dirt in your lip? How did we get pleasure out of something so disgusting?

The good news is that we have the power over this crap. There is no need to be angry at ourselves because we can make the choice today to quit. We don't need to be controlled by nicotine and be a slave to the can anymore. That is freaking awesome if you ask me. The opportunity to be strong, give our word, and honor that bond every single day...

You came to the right place brother, everyone is here to help and actually UNDERSTANDS what is going on...unlike most people in our lives. Stay here and you will stay quit today.

Let me know if you need anything,

Glad to have you here!

I'm glad to see you posted in June man. Good job. You were bumped off but I got ya fixed up. Be as involved as you can in your group. I guarentee it will be huge in your continued quit.

Get numbers from your fellow quitters and participate in the live chat. Especially today heading into the weekend make sure your quit is locked and cocked. I PM'd you my number. Feel free to use it anytime you need. Do whatever you need to do to protect your quit. Stay away from the booze and any other heavy hitting triggers that you may have for a while.

You can do this.

You do not enjoy it.

You do not enjoy not having nicotine in your system. That is because you are a nicotine addict. It is hard to imagine life without nicotine. But everyone here was once in your shoes. 1,000's of quitters here are proof that you can get through life without nicotine.

It sucks breaking the hold that nicotine has on you and it is not easy. But each day you break that hold, the easier it gets. I promise you that it is worth it.

You want to quit..

We know how to quit...

Now its on you to take our advice and QUIT!!!

Hi all,

I'm 28 years old and have been chewing since 2006. I have quit 3 or 4 times and it has lasted between two weeks and 2-3 months. I looked online and came across this board. I know I need to be accountable if I'm going to make it last. As much as I enjoy the habit, it tears up my mouth and throat and living life is more important to me. I'm glad the site is here and I plan to become a regular.

Welcome sd. If you're really ready to kick the nic bitch out of your life then you have found the right place. I bolded a statement up there that makes me think that maybe you're not quite in the right frame of mind yet, though. Do you really enjoy the disgusting, teeth rotting, gum destroying, spitting brown mucus, cancer inducing habit?? You enjoy something that will kill you? A habit that, once you're worm food, your family and friends will wonder how you could choose that suicide dirt over spending the rest of your life with them?

I'm not seeing the enjoyment, but maybe I'm missing something.

Remove that from your vocabulary and frame of mind and I will be happy to quit with you every day of the week.

I agree with shortround. When I first quit, I couldn't imagine living without it. I had mixed emotions, I kind of wanted to quit but I still had some emotional attachement. It will never work that way.

When I found this site, I realized this: You have to get MAD at nicotine and american tobacco company. They DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU! They exist soley to drain your wallet and the nicotine plant exists soley to drain your life! Think about it. It's a natural pesticide!

I'm 30 days in and let me tell you, life is already so much better and what I have stated above is so much clearer.

Love your quit. Hate the bitch.

Until you have that down, it'll never work man.

Welcome to the June Platoon. Good group of addicts here. I am on day 9. My first quit day was March 14th. I have quit every day since. The first 72 hours sucked. Seriously sucked. The next couple days weren't much better.

This place got me to today. I LOVE IT. When I had a craving, I went and exercised. If that wasn't possible, I came here and read stories.

Absolutely amazing. I would discovery that all the stories were like mine. I would get on chat and laugh my ass off. I was really sad the second day, go on chat. I was asked how I was doing. I told them that I have been reading and it seems like you have to say, "Fuck" a lot on this site". Everybody chimed in and there were F bombs everywhere.

I started laughing, and felt happy. I hurt but I was happy. This site, these strangers (Now people I adore) got me over the pain. Now my brain is rewiring. I am having so many a ha experiences.

I still get these moments where I think to go get a can. I hope that goes away but this is the first time my resolve and strength is stronger than that can calling me. I see the evil in it. I regret that it took me so long to really be a man of my word and quit. I quit on the 14th, better than saying that this is who I am and let a tobacco run me. I am finally free today. 41 years old and I can smell and taste freedom!

Well enjoy your little trip to hell. You will get through it and you'll look back and say, "I kicked hell's ass" Now I'm nicotine free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love having my honor and integrity back. I sure you will too.
