Day 8

The past two days have been tough in the morning. I want so bad to stop by the gas station that I use to haunt on the way to work. All I think on my way is “just one more can” by the time I pass by my head hurts my whole face is numb. I think my body is telling me just to stop. I think it is quite amazing how the mind works, as soon as I pass it by the headaches and the numbness goes away. I will not cave!

The irritability has been getting worse the last few days as well. Walking and drinking water seem to work for that. Even lost 10 lbs last week but that is my next hurtle.
Way to focus on one specific thing brother. I suggest alternating your route to work once to see if that helps with the numbness and headaches.

You have a good solid quit starting to brew inside you. Continue to use the site, gain friends as more people equals more accountability. Everyone has a different way of showing it but everyone on here cares enough to help you. Hell, none of us would have gotten this far without someone helping us when we were in the same place you are. Just remember that life will happen around you if you quit or not.

However, being a quitter is one hell of a way to win. Take you life back and be in charge of what you want. If it helps you at all my first two weeks were horrible. I hated people and I do mean everyone, I had anger issues, I gained a few pounds, my work suffered, my family didn't like me...but I made it and out of the blue there was a clearing morning when the fog lifted, the sand fell out of my mental vagina and I was just better. Not cured by any means but better.

I used smokeless tobacco for at least 8,760 days, I am now on day 74 of my quit, which means I have at least 87,00 more days before I can even start to think I am cured.

Keep up the good work, one day at a time.

Your doing great my friend. Pinch gave you some great advice, but i'm going to spin it in another direction.

Drive by that gas stating everyday several times a day. Make that brain of your see that's it's not going to win. Don't let this can of dirt you use to use every day dictate your route to work or any other destination. The more you drive by that store the easier it will get.

After time go into that store and just stick your middle finger right at the poison. Screw the poison. Read my signature line. Never mind I'll just say it. I hate you poison. I hated you this morning and I hate you right now. I'll hate you for dinner and I'll hate you at bed time. I hate you so much I'll mention the hate in a prayer. I enjoy hating you so much I'll wake up tomorrow and began hating you again.

Glad to be quit with you gentlemen.
Great job on 8 days bro. These days are a battle but you are winning. Keep fighting and don't stop in the morning. I used to do the exact same thing every morning. The only reason I stopped was for dip. I drive the same route and go straight to work. Today I actually looked at the 7-11 I would always stop at and laughed. Post roll as you leave for work. Your commitment will be fresh. Before you know it the numbness and headaches will fade away. For today... No dip! Stay quit! Your doing this!

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Fish you're speaking my language right now bro. The last couple mornings have been tough for me as well. I'm a couple days behind you, but I get that same itch in the mornings driving past the gas stations. There is a mini-mart in my building I used to buy at as well. When I walk past there and see the tins in the window, I can almost taste it.

Just like you though, I keep moving and get past the windows. It takes a couple minutes to forget about it, but without exception, I do every time. Sometimes it takes longer than others, but hell, if by walking past there and not stopping I buy an extra 10, 15, 20 years with my family, they could be throwing the tins at me for all I care. I'm doing this for me and I'm doing this for them. No 10 minute buzz is going to shake that...

Keep pushing and together we'll walk into that HOF in December.

peace and quit brother.

Today I choose to quit because today is the only day I have control over today. Tomorrow is a new day and when tomorrow is today, I'll control it too, but not until then. I will win this fight with today...

Day 5 now and so far it has been going pretty well. The headaches come and go but so far, the irritability has been under control for the most part. Yesterday when it felt it coming on I just got up and walked around the block.  Other than that, it was a great weekend. Took my daughter to the beach and built a table and chairs far for the back yard. Trying to keep my mind and myself busy.
You will stay quit today also my friend, you have no other choice. You posted roll i presume. Therefore i hold you to that promise. Great things are coming. Stay the course and keep that head pointed forward. Nothing back there but slavery to a filthy disgusting can of poison. You got this. Glad to be Quit with.
Way to post roll for day 5! You are doing this bro! Make sure you stay hydrated today. It took me a few days to figure this out despite everyone telling me to do it... But it really helped once I took it for action  drank a lot of water. It might help with the headaches some. Keep fighting my man. You got this. Quit with you today!

Thank you everyone.

Spent most of last night looking over the site and there is some great info on here.
Congrats fishy. When you get mad or want to hit something come here. Pick a fight with someone here online. The morning of my 8th day I blew up and fought with another quitter. We understand the pain and all the shit quitting causes. Bring it on!!

Welcome cap'n EF  all the best to you! You've already got some great advice all round,
