JD and Del,

I remember Day 2. I actually didn't find this site until Day 9, but I still recall Day 2. My advice - don't think about Day 3, next week, next month, next year, etc. Those kind of thoughts always overwhelmed me. I couldn't imagine "quitting forever." It sounded impossible.

What I have learned is that quitting forever is impossible. It is. But good news... nobody is asking you to do that. Just focus on right now, today, this five minutes. Resolve to yourself that come hell or high water you will not put any nicotine in your body today. Then tomorrow, simply do it again. But don't think about tomorrow now. There is nothing you can do about tomorrow until it gets here.

Here's the deal. You can't change the past...what's done is done. And nobody knows what the future...whatever will be, will be. Not a damn thing we can do about either of those. So don't worry about them. Tomorrow is something we'll deal with when it gets here. BUT IT AIN'T HERE NOW, SO FORGET IT.

Just focus on what you can control...and you can control your actions right now. Nothing in the world can force you to put tobacco in your lip. You can control that right now. See? Chop the problem down to a manageable size and you begin to see that you can do it!!! Like asking how to eat an elephant - one bite at a time. Well, we quit one day at a time.

How you get through today is up to you. And this site is full of good ideas...exercise, water, seeds, fake stuff, sex, etc. The list goes on forever, really. And any nicotine-free alternative is a good one...so let you imagination run wild. But whatever you do, remember that we're quit with you today.

Been chewing Cope for the last 20 years. I am up to roughly 2 cans per day. I usually take very large chews and leave them in for a short amount of time. However, after 20 years and multiple "stops", I am DONE!! I have been on this site but never joined.

I'm hoping to join one of the groups. My Stop date is officially 8/27/12. Anyone care to advise how I go about joining a group?

Thanks Gents, looking forward to the conversation and struggle!

Do the best you can do, and keep that shit out of your mouth.

That's the best advice I can give you.

You're doing great on day 2, just keep it up. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Welcome man, and proud to be quit with you.

First of all, you WERE up to 2 cans a day. You now are done with that phase of your life.

You, sir, are a badass motherfucking quitter.

Get through today because it will be hell. Your jaw is going to feel swollen and empty. You're going to be irritable. You will feel like clawing your eyes out.

But that's ok, and normal.

First thing is first: Please click HERE to read about our quit groups and how to post roll. Once you read that, go post roll HERE.

Your body is physically addicted to a horrible drug, and it will take 3-7 days for it to leave your system. I would stay away from caffeine today, and drink tons of water. ALL DAY. Trust me. You'll be squimy enough. Secondly, walk/run/lift weights/do any fucking workout you can. The less that you can breathe, the less that you will crave. Stay away from alcohol. It leads to craves and caves. Finally, do whatever you need to to get through the day. Use fake herbal snuff as a placebo for your jaw. Have tons of seeds and gum on hand. Do not go near a convenience store/gas station.

If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. We've all been through it, and we know that you can too.

Del,

You did it. Now all you need to do is click on the "Welcome Center" link at the top and learn how to post roll. Your group will be November 2012 (100 days from now is how your figure that). Just go there and post Day 1. Then all you have to do is fight like hell to stay nic free for today. Tomorrow, wake up and repeat.

How do you fight? Exercise, water, seeds, fake stuff, ranting raving on here...really do anything OTHER than didp. Read all you can. The more you know about addiction, the easier it is to recognize the Nic Bitch's attempts to get you back. If you have any problems, just ask.

Great choice, brother!!!
