DAAAAMN THAT STUNG!!! Whew. I've been waiting because I had a sore on my gums and my tongue has felt raw as hell. But shit, I figured day 5, feeling kind'a cocky, I'm listerining this fucker. I'm pretty sure charlie was here and swapped out the listerine with napalm, because that shit hurt. I can't even fake it, like after you finish basic training and tell everyone that it wasn't shit.

Definitely made my eyes water. Can't wait to do it again in the morning!

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I thought I'd be craving harder than I am. Every so often I get this happy feeling like "time to put in a chew", then I have a reality slap when I quickly realize that's not happening. Then it all goes away. Max of 10-15 seconds. It doesn't really bother me too much either.

All in all I'm feeling pretty damn good. Nice knowing you're bettering yourself by the minute.

the buzz you feel is the fog.  Eat all you want right now and only focus on your quit.
Fog. That's exactly what it feels like too. Can't focus on any one thing very well. I was a little nervous about it. Relieving that you knew exaclty what I was talking about and I'm guessing it's pretty common then, haha. Is that from the lack of nicotine? How long does it typically last?
I had it for three weeks. Sucked. I am just a little a bit ahead of you. Day 29. Rock on brother.
Dang, 3 weeks? 'help'

Haha, starting on day 2 the Fog's pretty thick today.
I'm on day 43. My initial fog lasted about a week. Then returned with a vengence about 20 days in. Only lasted about 3 days at that point. Just focus on today and know that each day it gets a little better, even if you can't feel it at exactly that moment. I'm kind of odd, I liked the fog and the physical stuff. The pain seemed proof to me that my body was healing, that I was breaking free. To each his own I guess. You can do this. Just stay focused on your quit, protect it, be proud of it. Quit for today, or like I had to do in my first week, quit for the next 15 minutes, then repeat. It does get better. You can be free.

Proud to be quit with ya!
Embrace the suck fellas and it will get better. Email if ylu guys need anything.Stay strong

Thanks for the words of encouragement gents! Well, first day has been going a lot better than I had expected. Been at work since 06:30 and it's now 13:32. Mid day check in:

I've been eating a lot, all day.
Gnawing and sucking on cinnamon toothpics like a crazy man
Toungue is numb, see above

I've had this strange buzz all day today too. Almost lightheaded but it doesn't feel bad. Like a nicotine buzz without the nicotine. Weird.

Kbear, you and me brother! Day 1, we got this.

So far the people on this site seem freakin' awesome. Really supportive. Makes you really want to keep your word and not let anyone down.
Welcome, April brothers!!

Quick advice from a newbie who also has made it through The Suck. This is what the vets will tell you, and it helped me a ton:

1. Post roll every day. This is your commitment to the group that you will not use nic in any form that day. Just one day, that's all we ask. Then post roll the next day.
2. Drink a ton of water - nicotine is water soluble, so the more you drink, the faster it gets out of your body. You want to piss clear and if you can a couple times an hour.
3. Because you're drinking so much water, take extra vitamins - especially B and C, because these are also water soluble and wash right out of your system. B helps with your nervous system, which is a train wreck right now, so don't skimp on this. Take a vitamin a couple times a day, or with each meal. Whatever you don't need will come out on its own.
4. Get involved - in live chat, on the boards, get numbers from others. PM me and I will hand mine out to anyone. I may be new at this, but if you need support, I will give it, and I will get support from doing that myself.
5. Hold yourself and other accountable. If you fuck up, admit it, and get back on the train. But don't expect it will be easy.
6. Embrace The Suck. it will make you never want to go through this again.

Work hard, and you will succeed.

'Remshot' You two are in the April group now.  Ever seen the Navy Seals "Hell Week" on television?

That's childs play compared to how tough we're gonna be if any one of us fucks up.
If I fall and let you guys down then I deserve whatever I get..

...That isn't going to happen.

On another note. I see a lot of other groups created names for their group. Pretty cool idea and I've seen some creative ones.

I'm thinking April 2011 needs a name..

What do you guys think?
Now your getting it. It's your group, you name it. Great job guys!

Need to quit. 6 years with a tin-a-day (or more) addiction to Kodiak and didn't know how much it was affecting my life. All the time, money, areguments, i hate it. Can't believe how addictive this stuff is.

Today will be my first day without dip in so many years, i cannot even remember. It's going to be tough. I've tried to quit before. I like the support shown on this site.

Looking forward to quitting with you guys.
