Hello, from the inner circle of Hell.

Scorcho,
best damn advise i've read on this site is only 3 words long.
"EMBRACE THE SUCK"
ben at this for 55 days now.
it was just a couple days ago i figured out what that really meant
the sooner you can wrap your brain around those three words the better off you'll be at kickin the nic bitch in her stinky hole.

"EMBRACE THE SUCK" man, "EMBRACE THE SUCK".
you know it's coming, you know the crave will arrive.  when it does, reel it in and savor it and then beat it down like a red-headed step child. 
then do it again the next and soon enough you'll be posting a day 50.

glad to have you on the team.

T-minus one hour until I hit the one week mark. It has not been easy!!! Please tell me it gets easier. I swear it was not this bad the first time I quit for one year. I had strong cravings, but never any bouts of depression. I was reading on the internet that depression can be common for those that are quitting their nicotine addictions and that it usually passes after the first month. Here's hoping the next three weeks fly by.

I am def Embracing the suck!!!! lol 'bang head'

Noone promised you that it would be EASY or FUN.....We promised you that it would be WORTH IT. See you in the HOF.

I am two weeks in since starting this thread. I have not taken advantage of all this site offers (roll call) as of yet, but I am going to start.

I am still using the fake stuff. I have blended some Smokey Mountain wintergreen and some Hooch with a top full of rum. It burns quite nice and actually helps out for about 30 seconds. I plan on quitting even the fake stuff soon, but I really do not feel a rush, or any pressure at this time. On the downside, I have gained about 7 pounds these past two weeks. I had no idea I could gain weight that fast....and I have been running!!! Oh well, it is worth it. See you guys around.

Don't worry about the weight. I've tacked on about 10 pounds myself. But the bottom line is that it's much easier to lose 10 pounds than to shake the Nic Bitch. And your already 2 weeks in to beating her, so the weight will come off in time.

My name is Randy.  I am 35 years old and I have been dipping since I was 18.  When I was around 25 years old I stopped dipping for just over a year.  Once I fell back into it though, it was not long at all until I was abusing it worse than before.  I currently dip about 12 cans a week.  This past Sunday night, the oddest thing happened, I ran out of Timberwolf.  I NEVER run out of Timberwolf as I buy a box a week, but for some reason this week, I decided not to.  On my way home Sunday I knew I was running out, but I decided not to stop and buy anymore.  When I used up the last bit in the can (shortly before midnight) I just kind of thought to myself, why not quit.  Now, here I am roughly 40 hours later and I am damn near losing my mind.  I have not done ANYTHING at work.  I am eating candy like crazy.....I have almost talked myself into  buying a can a few different times, but somehow I have managed to stay strong.  The hardest part is at night.  Last night I woke up at midnight and proceeded to flat out have a panic attack lol.  It is not funny, but I have to laugh at myself.  UGH!!!!!  I just want to go 72 hours and see how I feel then.  Not sure I can do this though.  Just 32 more hours!!!  THat is all I want, I want to see how I feel without any nicotine in my system.

I can guarantee you 1 thing. Every hour you go without will be better than the last hour. I am now 6168 hours and this hour is better that the 6167th.

You can do this. I was a 2 can a day dipper for 23 years and I am doing this. You will fell great in no time. Just take it 1 hour at a time if you have to.

And who the hell cares if you have not gotten any work done, you are quit and that is your job right now. It's the only thing that matters.

THanks for the words of encourgament MikeA. I am trying...I am hanging in there. I am about to go to the gym and run like crazy. I am going to run until I just cant stand it.

Run, pump iron drink a ton of water and cranberry juice. Flush your system, your going to be amazed how great your going to feel.

Scorcho, Quitting is hands down the BEST decision I ever made!!!! I abused that shit for over 30 years and I am 2 YEARS nic-free!!! Quitting SUCKS But it is DAMN well WORTH IT!!! You can DO this, one day at a time!!!! Don't EVER put that shit in your mouth again!!! Your body is PISSED at you right now for cutting off its NIC supply. Stay the course and you will begin to feel MUCH better in a week or two. PM me if you need anything or need a phone# for cave prevention

Scorcho,

I quit 2 cans a day for years on end. If my weak willed candy ass can quit so can you. Your feeling the suck right now. You can do this.

Just get flaming mad that your so addicted and controlled by a little round can of minty flavored cancer . The going out of your mind part will subside pretty quick. Exercise will help, juice will help also ( keep your blood sugar up and stable). Both of these things can cut your craving dramatically. Also, chew gum, blow trannys, or put a rabid beaver in your mouth. ANYTHING BUT TOBACCO.

fuck work and all that other shit, the only thing you need to do right now is save your life. Read all you can here, start with the TOm Kern Story

sm

p.s. Your not trying to quit, we don't try here. You are quit as of this minute, just stay that way.

Thanks for the encouragment guys. Reading your posts has helped a lot. I crossed the 72nd hour last night. The 73rd hour was not any easier than the 72nd...but I think I am on the right path. God bless the creators of this website and those of you that make it work.

sm, thanks for the encouragment, and the laugh. Funny moments really help.

"Funny moments help?!?!?!?" Dang right they do! Try this page on for size. ;)
