It appears so. Unfortunatley he wasnt ready to choose freedom. Some people have to wait until they are spitting teeth out. Or until the cancer diagnosis comes. Cant say we didnt try to help the man.

Josh - when you are ready we are here. It is not easy, but it is worth it. You can do this, we can help.

hey man, i'm on day 2. these guys coerced me yesterday to flush my shit while at work and I did. Now I am 29 hours in and feeling pretty good. Listen to these guys, cold turkey it and power through the withdraw. You just have to accept the fact you are going to feel like crap, and tell nicotine you are in control when those strong cravings hit.

Quitting nicotine is hard to do, but is very possible. It takes practice to quit on your own. You have to learn how to fight the cravings, and how to avoid buying more dip. These guys will help you quit the quickest and most effective way possible, without going through the years of trial and error it can take by yourself.

JUST LISTEN, HAVE DETERMINATION, AND YOU WILL WIN!

Great work today Josh. You are winning man. SM is a wise quitter. I suggest reading his intro from begining to end. He knows what he is talking about. Keep it up.

Oh Ya, I read all the material you linked to me yesterday. I'm aware of how everything works, just kinda crazy if you think about it, that it's even legal.. And like yesterday when I went to get some smokey mountain from my local drive thru tobacco mart, I saw a guy walk out with a carton of cigs, and I thought to myself.. Wow this guy is pretty much like a slave and yet he doesn't realise it. He just spent probably $60 on shit that's bad for you and will kill you. Made me glad I'm not in that position now! But thanks for all the advice you give skoal monster!

Josh.

Remember how bad you wanted to quit when you were NOT in withdrawal. That's the truth, that's the real you. Hold onto that.

Nicotine tricks your brain into thinking that getting that next fix is as important as eating or breathing. Just like a heroin addict or a meth junkie ( nic works on the same chemical reward pathways as these drugs)


There is only one thing that you MUST accomplish today, and that is to stay quit. Everything else is gravy. Your literally in a fight for your life so hit it hard.

You can do it, if only just for today.

Hey Dad-

I have been thinking about you a lot. Lately I have been crying every night. I don't know why but I feel like the pain is getting worse. It has been 6 years already, but I swear I remember it like it was just yesterday. I remember mom waking me and nikki up in the morning saying it wasn't good. I remember Julie driving us to the hospital. I remember going to Walmart to get swim suits because we were going to go to john and shell's and run through the sprinkler, until Dave called my phone and told us to come quick. I remember coming to the hospital scared of what might come next. I wanted to run out to the car to get my CD that has the song "Dance with my father" that I really wanted you to hear. Right as we were going to get on the elevator grandma yelled to have everyone come back into the room, we all new it was bad. I remember running back into the room, throwing myself on top on you at the end of the bed yelling "DADDY, PLEASE DON'T GO", but then you did. Hearing you take your last breath, was like getting my heart ripped out of my chest. I remember laying there at the end of your bed crying and crying and crying, hoping and praying you were going to come back. I needed you, mom needed you, connor, alexa, and tori needed you. We needed you to be there for us, to cook me steak and tell me who I could and couldn't date, you needed to coach tori and connor's softball and baseball teams, you needed to watch alexa perform just ONE more time, mom needed your help to keep me out of trouble. It's not fair. It's not fair that such an amazing guy like you had to go. It's not fair that alexa, tori, and I will never get to have you walk us down the isle or have our father daughter dance, it's not fair that you will not get to see what a good pitcher connor is or see what an amazing guy he has become. it's not fair that Kenra will never get to hear your laugh or have you give her one of those amazing hugs you gave. Dad I miss you so much and want you hear to tell me everything will be okay.

So I'm doing pretty well so far, but today my mind really is trying to convince me to go back. Like all my thoughts revolve around giving up quitting and getting a dip. Pretty crazy how your mind can react so strongly towards the use of a chemical.. Anywho, ready to get today over with man.

yes anger is part of the process
read this

http://www.killthecan.org/additional-re ... ex-chewer/

when you finish with that read this

http://whyquit.com/whyquit/LinksAAddiction.html

Then stay quit. Use the anger against the addiction.

You got this

So day 3 and I'm actually feeling really well, some small cravings so far but nothing major. I'm also quite... Snappy.. Today to say the least, already snapped on a guy at work for no reason, now I feel like a jackass.. But hey, I apologized like I should have and that's squared away, the random bursts of extreme anger is part of it I guess?

So today, done with work and went and ran/jogged 1 mile, feeling..... fair.. to say the least. Really feel pretty bad (which was expected) and have been craving all day. Sucks, alot.. but in a way, i feel good. It's hard to describe but I feel good, like knowing i was clean today, like im taking control of my life again. Idk what it is but it feels pretty good, underneath it all it feels good.
Well done. The reason most people fail is that they are scared of the imagined pain that accompanies quitting, they are unwilling to face withdrawal.

Instead simply embrace withdrawl as the price of freedom from addiction. It's a subtle twist of mind set that will help you immensely.

Stay the course. Just for today. Tomorrow you can decide again

Dang that is some motivated quitting Unfjosh! You may be shocked by the degree to which we'll have your back, especially when you come out the gate like you just did. Drink water. Stay QUIT.

5:30 in the morning and im up posting roll, thanks for the advice everyone today is day 2, lets see how this goes... ill probably be ranting tonight ;)
Rant away Josh. Do what you have to do. Get some seeds, straws, atomic fireballs, whatever. Just do not use nicotine today. One foot in front of the other. Breath. You've got this. You also have my number in your mailbox. Shoot me a text if you need to. No nicotine, no excuses.
