Nice job clearing so many days on your own, but glad you're here. I'm a new guy, but I already find a lot of solace in the accountability that this place provides. PM if you want digits, I've already had some brothers in my quit group text me throughout the day, and some quit vets, too! Really cool environment of people who get it here. Welcome! Proud to quit with you today!

Hey Barry,

It looks like you are doing everything right at this point.  I wish I had the weight loss symptom you have.  I did nothing but eat for the first 50 days of my quit and now I am trying to get the weight back off.  I was never really one for exercise so it is taking a really long time.

Keep on going man, you're doing great. PM me for digits if you need more accountability or brotherhood.

Chris

If you want my digits, just ask and they will be yours, but I expect yours in return.

Accountability is a statement of personal promise, both to yourself and to the people around you, to deliver specific defined results.
Brian Dive

Do not be complacent about your achievements and not to strive for continual improvement when you get to the top. As soon as you let success go to your head, you sink into following familiar patterns and play it safe. In other words, you risk losing your edge.
Roy T. Bennett

You need anything, ask.  You feel strong, help.  This quit is for you but we got your back.

Do not let the actions of others determine the direction of YOUR quit.

Welcome Barry. You have made the right choice to quit nicotine, and to join this site. It is your best option to stay quit.

Quitting is simple - hard as hell - but simple. Make your promise to not use nicotine in any form for the rest of the day by posting roll. Keep your promise. Reach out when you need to. My digits are just a PM away.

The more you get involved in the site - as your schedule allows - the greater your chances for success.

As for your physical symptoms - that's not something I have experience with. It sounds like you are seeking the appropriate professional help. Hopefully things clear up for you soon.

Proud to quit with you.

Hello fellow quitters.  My name is Barry and I am on day 36 of my quit.  I was trolling this site and then decided to join as I needed support and accountability.  My story:  Dipped snuff for 30 + years and when I would stop I would end up smoking.  I have a wife and 2 children, aged 18 and 16 that I hid my addition from for the last 2 years after I told them I quit.  In November something hit me that if I do not quit I will not see certain milestones in my family's lives and really started to worry about who would take care of them.  All for what, some crap in a can?  I am not quitting for them but for me now, I want to be around.  Since I have quit these last 36 days have been a train wreck.  I do not know if I have convinced myself something drastic is wrong with me, or that I waited too long to quit.  I have been to urgent care twice for a sore throat and then to the ENT once, who diagnosed me,after and endoscopy, with LPR (acid reflux) which has gotten a lot worse since I quit.  I have a dentist appointment on Thursday, first one in 10 years and I am also making an appointment with a primary care Dr. as I have not been to one of those in a long time too.  I have cried more in the last month than I have in the last ten years combined (depression?), I have also come clean with my family on my lies about my addition and they have been very supportive. However, I know my wife is getting sick of hearing about my symptoms and even asked me when I am zoned out if I am thinking about my "fake cancer".  Right now I believe that nicotine and Google are the devil.  I am finally started to sleep some but the first thing I think about when I wake up is my health and what I have done to it, major anxiety.  My sore throat is getting better but at times it feels like there is a lump in my throat,I have ear pain, ringing in my ears and I am loosing weight, my body is acting in ways I have never felt before and these symptoms were not there before I decided to quit.  This site caught my attention with the symptoms of quitting as others sites do not do justice, it gives me some piece of mind to understand what others are going through or have went through.  It is amazing how nicotine can control your body and mind, no more for me.  After posting roll the first time 2 days ago, I have already received support from numerous people, I know that I am in the right place.  Thanks guys, this really feels like a team effort already with individual accountability, this quit can and will be done.  Sorry for the late intro, long post, and whining.  Thanks to all!!
