pretty sure most retarded goldfish ARE infact bears fans
;)

[chucklehead]

I can only muster up 1/2 support for the Bears fan. Next week after the Packers start preparing for the super bowl, I'll be more supportive to you Bears Fan.

Go Pack. Go Quiters.

[shortround]

Haha, retarded goldfish! Good description of what the fog does to you. It's not permanent man, so hang in there. I remember that very well! Take it a meal at a time, or an hour at a time.

You got this.

[HKS]

retarded goldfish.........and delicious garbage.......you are funny...........focus on the now and stay quit........it will get better............but you have to earn it..........and really want it !!!!

[brianl]

Made it through today, but it was rough. More stress at work made it a little tougher than yesterday. Right now though I feel pretty good. In approx. 1 hour I will be up to 48 hours without that delicious garbage in my mouth. Can't concentrate on shit, I have the attention span and memory of a retarded goldfish.
GO BEARS!!!

Hang in there brother. The first few days are the hardest. Stay focused on your Quit, that's all that matters right now.

Hahaha ....... yep, I remember ....... I know it's hard to hear, but this will actually serve you well as you go deeper into your quit. Your body is healing, and this suck you are going through is really bad. It is supposed to be. When you are quit for a week, it will be better than now. Much more at two weeks. Remember how bad it is, you will NEVER want to go back. I am at 54 days. Still sucks a little. NO WHERE NEAR AS BAD! There is hope, I promise. My cravings now last a minute or so. I pop some seeds and go on about my day. Not easy, but very doable. I never thought it would be this good.

Proud to be quit with ya! You can do this!

And HELL Yeah the Bears ...... Packers suck!
'crackup'

Hang in there bro. many here to support you anytime of the day!! but the Bears? Seriously???

[Gatortom]

Dude, it'll get better. Just make sure you remember how tuff these first days are. It can help you out when you are struggling later down the road. Do you really want to do this all over again? Take it day by day. Sign the April roll daily as your promise to yourself and your fellow quitters that you will not cave for that day. If you need anything or are struggling, post up and there will be several people there to back you up.

Did you post roll today? I hope so, but I didn't see your name.

[J.crow37]

Go pick up that eclipse 60 pack of gum. or a bucket of seeds. in the beginning itll probably wind up costing you more day to day than a can would. but last time i checked gum and seeds wont kill you. keep yourself busy and goodluck

[Frazzled]

Gum, water, seeds, deep breathing, get some excercise, take a walk, fake dip....whatever it takes.Ã,  Post up, read the site and get involved.

Get on chat, read posts from Greg, MikeA, RT, TCOPE, read the site. Drink a ton of water. Take tons of vitamins, especially Vitamin B, since that will regulate your neurological system, which is about to take a giant shit on you.

Get involved with these doucheba...I mean, gentlemen...they will support you through thick and thin.

Take NOLAQs advice, come here and rant and rave and rage...we've done it, and got the t-shirt.

This will be the best decision you've ever made...can you make it?

I did not know that I could not use patches, and be a part of this club.Ã,  The few people I know personally that have quit, did it by using the patch.Ã,  I think it has become clear I do not need this site.Ã, Ã,  Thanks for the support, blow me.

Man, I was just where you are. I quit dipping New Years Day. I was chewing Nicotine gum, but feeling like I was really accomplishing something. I came to this site and got in the chat room and came up with every excuse in the book as to why it would be better for me to ease off the nicotine using the gum. The truth is that I was terrified at the thought of not having my safety net around. It's embarrassing and disgusting to admit that to myself. You're no different, I imagine.

I'm only on Day 12 without Nicotine. It hasn't been easy, but I'll be damned if it doesn't feel great knowing that the nic bitch hasn't owned me for the last 12 days. She still holds the series lead, mind you, and she will for a long time (I dipped for over 15 years), but I'm in it to win it.

When you're committed to quitting, come back. If I see you posting roll, I'll know you gave up the safety net for the freedom the fog brings. And it'll mean a lot to my quit.

You can do this. Be a MAN. The safety blanket is for my two year old daughter. I don't need one. And neither do you.

oops

MikeA, I hope the "oops" isn't because I did something wrong.

Tbeck, it sounds like you understand cold turkey is the only way. Great decision to join here. If I hadn't finally gone cold turkey, instead of 12 days behind me without nic, I'd be the guy chewing the shit out of nic gum all day and hoping to cut back tomorrow, assuming I wasn't back to the can already. Welcome.

[andrew]

The first hours and days completely off the nic are A BITCH. They just are. Your body is not happy, and you are in a complete mindfuck. Don't get used to it, it goes away after 4 or 5 days, but you have to tough it out through this one. You can make it. I guarantee it, DO NOT CAVE, remove yourself from any situation that might possibly give you the opportunity to cave. You DO NOT need nicotine to live. Your mind is telling you that, but you don't. You got this. Stick with your quit. Stick with us.

[Nolaq]

Alright fuckers I'm in. The patches are gone (well spent $50). The Timberwolf was flushed down the toilet last night. I am going to get ready for work, anyone know any breathing exercises, that can help me when I'm flipping out. I can use the fake snuff with no nicotine right? I don't want to break any more rules. I still think MikeA is a D-bag

Nice job! Flip out on me if you want, I don't give a fuck.

You CAN do this.
