I have been reading this site for two days now.. some stuff helps.. some stuff doenst help in the sense it makes it even worse.. knowing you'll be fighting this for a longtime to come... I will say though.. its a great site.. I have chewed for 23 or more years and learned a ton of stuff on this site I never knew..
So everyone is in agreement that the first 2-3 days are the worse, I am always looking at data.. and keep thinking if I can get this nicotine out of my system I will be fine... I think I can handle the triggers just not this fucking fog... I do no like it at all...
but day 4 will be better?
JStock, when you see someone in their Hundreds talking about craving or having a dip dream, it is a totally different thing than what you are going through right now. We are sincere when we say it gets better. It will get to the point where you won't have a single thought about it for weeks, even months! and when you do have a thought about it, it is in passing and you are able to easily shrug it off and laugh about it. But yes, you will find yourself with an occasional thought about it, WE ARE ADDICTS. This crap has controlled you for 24 years, you cannot just wipe it out of your database in a matter of a few months or years. It is a matter of controlling it, knowing what to do when you hit a rough patch, get through it, and get on living a healthy CLEAN life. Because you know what brother? I would rather go through life Quit and have an occasional thought about chew, than go through life chewing with constant thoughts of quitting 'winker'
