The nic bitch is disturbingly crafty. She laid low the past couple days to spring a surprise attack right in conjunction with some other lifetime stresses. When vets say to stay vigilant, they are not fucking joking. Day 18 and 19 I honestly thought I might be getting my ass out of the woods. Day 20 I know I have a long way to go.
Just keep at it One Day At A Time.

Thank you for the support boelker! I see we have a lot in common, even an Eagles fan.

One benefit I am noticing already that is gym related - HIIT when I was chewing was actually hurting my mouth. I am not sure why, but intense cardio would aggravate the irritated gum tissue and cause it to hurt temporarily. Did HIIT today, experienced no mouth pain.

Hey, DHG. Reading your intro, it's like I know you, but you're wisening up much earlier than I did. I know the agony of this drug (and others) I know gains, I know counterintuitive behaviors and counterproductive habits. Shit, i know heavy anxiety during a quit.

I am proud to be quit with you today. You'll see me around. PM me if you need anything.

Dentist appointment over. 2 small cavities and minor gingivitis is all they found. No cancer, no irreversible damage. Being extra cautious today, I know good news like this can trigger cravings from hell. Good news today is a gift, not a forecast for what will happen if I continued to expose it to poison daily.

I appreciate you sharing your story. There is nothing positive in reality, we just make up scenarios why we chew. People that said it helped, we slaves to the nic bitch. I am in the fitness business and I was a symbol of health for many people. As soon as I left them, I put a dirt turd in my mouth. You have seen the light, you will quit and I will support you always.

Exactly, you hit the nail on the head with that one. Stay strong! Be grateful they are still here today. Make sure you go show them how much you care for them just incase. Tomorrow they may just be gone. I quit today with you!

Thank you for the support GB! Plus, no family member would want their health problems/passing to be an excuse for caving on something so important.

As you know DHG my grandpa passed away during day 2 of my quit. If I can make it through this tough day I know you can make it through whatever life gives you. This is the man who taught me everything. He was more of a father to me then my real father. I lost a lot 10/4/14. I gained a lot as well. I quit bucking the trends today and posted roll. I stayed strong. The dip wont bring them back or make things better. It will make things worse. MUCH WORSE. Stay strong DHG. You need my number feel free to inbox me. I got your back.

Got bad news today about the health of a family member. I had already been dealing with anxiety from the quit, this turned that dial all the way up to 11. If there was a time to cave, less than a week in and finding out a family member might die is a likely time to do it.

But this isn't a lesson in sometimes life fucks you over. This is a lesson in the value of this program. I didn't go to the store to pick up a can, I went to the chat and the forums to let this community know I was suffering. The response was overwhelming support from the chat and my inbox was blown up with offers to help me get through this. For those of you quitting going through tough times and for my future self, remember that a can of poison makes a shitty listener, and you have so many people here that DO care.

Thank you everyone who reached out. If I were doing this alone, I would like to think that I would have the self-discipline and understanding of the situation to know that running to the nic bitch in a time of need is a stupid solution. Thanks to this community, that was never even a consideration.
I had a bad day too, but we made it! Lets be quit again today

When you stop quitting hard, you forget how hard it was.

"When will you put the arrogance and ignorance aside and choose to live and to live with honor and integrity. It's the best fucking feeling in the world. It beats the shit out of feeling like a loser caver. It beats the shit out of knowing that you are nic's bitch. It beats the shit out of getting cancer and dying. This is really hard shit and you have to attack it with a vengeance. Get after it January. Quit like fuck" ~ Bronc
