Finally Quit!

[gadawg3]

Day 19...

I actually don't feel too bad except for two things:

1. Headache...continuous tight band headache (sore jaw - may be clenching teeth at night????)
2. Something like restless leg syndrome when lying down or relaxing at night (kind of itching on the inside???)

I'm sure these are just some anxiety related issues. Hopefully it will get better soon!

Made it through my first tobacco free holiday in like 22 years or so. I am using the fake stuff and feel a little guilty about that but I guess it's not really any different than chewing gum??? Anyways, proud to be quit with all of you....day 9!

Don't feel bad about using the fake stuff. At this point job 1 is not putting nicotine in your body and aside from posting roll those are your only 2 jobs.

I am a UGA grad who interestingly quit on May 18th, 2014 - 1 year before you did. I also dipped for 22+ years. I was thinking back to last Memorial Day and I was craving like a son of a bitch - Smokey Mtn saved me on Friday afternoon last year and I still remember it. Use all your tools here. Get involved with your quit group and get some numbers of other guys. I still text on a regular basis with guys in my August 2014 group. The freedom you will start to feel is incredible.

Glad to quit with you today and Go Dawgs.

Send me a PM if you ever need anything or have any questions

Thanks Rawls. Very touching to read your message this morning.

Thanks to you also landdon. I'm honored to have found this web site and all of you guys.

Thank God I am quit with both of you today!!!

[Landdon]

Nose to the grindstone friend. You are making your life better each minute you go without the whore. I'm with you!

Well 10:00 am this morning was 72 hours since my last dip. Not as bad as I thought to be honest. I am wore out however. I guess it takes a lot of energy ignoring the craves, etc. Going strong for now!

Energy well spent pard.... Crazy cool how you are stopping the cycle of passing on an addiction to those 3 boys of yours.
They will follow you. Keep being an example. We need more dad's like you.

Congrats on 72 hours, it's officially out of your system, and before you know it, it will be out of your mind and life.
I quit with you and your boys today. Well done dad!

I have three boys that all have said that I need to quit. I am doing this for me, but I know that they will be proud as well. I think it scares them a little to be honest. How selfish of me to put them through worrying about something like that?

Welcome to KTC Dawg3. This is what its all about. Sticking around for your boys. Yeah, you have to do it for yourself but you can do it for them too. Well done, you made a great decision to quit!

Thanks rdad. I appreciate the support!

Thanks Jerk11 and landdon. I appreciate the support. I have quit drinking, smoking, and caffeine. I figured it was time for this last vice to go. I appreciate the support.

I gave up caffeine May 2013, and had my last can of Skoal every day for almost 2 years. Proud to be double quit with you.

Thanks quark. Proud to be double quit with you as well!
