My Introduction

[rhester03]

So I just got back from the dentist, where I found that each of the spots where my gum had receded I have cavities. Fuck the Nic Bitch. I am 29 years old and have never had a cavity in my life, and I now have gotten three in the last year. I have to go back next week to get them filled in, I can only hope that they don't result in root canal.

Just solidifies the commitment to never go back to the bitch.

I have had a little trouble sleeping the last two nights, nothing major though, but I've noticed I can wake up and get moving a lot easier than when I was on nic.  The wierd thing is though that the first instinct when I get up in the morning is to reach for the non-existant pouch that used to be next to my bed.  It is wierd how you feel better when you are off it, but you still feel like you want it.  Just a thought...Not going to cave today!

I have also noticed that I wake up much easier since I've been quit, my days are beginning much earlier. I wonder if there is something chemically that is allowing this?? As far as reaching for your chew, place a mouse trap in that spot and I give it 2 days, you'll break yourself of that habit.

Early on I used aTylenol PM to help with the sleeping and it really did give me some rest. As far as the reaching for the pouch, there are still times I pat my back pocket


Its been 679 days since there was anything in it

Shoot it's been almost 5 years since my divorce but there are still times I reach at the ring finger expecting to have that band there to twist. Nicotine and wives will eff up your brain :)

Awesome....I get married in June


:blink:

Good Luck, I'm coming up on 2 years married.

I'm eating like a cow. Prob gained 5 lb. in a 7 day quit. But I just need to maybe drop and give 20 when a crave hits rather than stuff a beef jerky in my face.

I have recently noticed that I have been consuming quite a bit more caffine than I used to. Has anyone else experienced that after quitting?

My result was oppsite, with nic I was drinking 12+ cups of coffee each day, the last week I have had 1 or 2 a day. I'm just not into it anymore without the happy ending dip.

I've felt the same way Rhester. Last night, I dreamed I caved...Not really sleeping solid. Waking up several times during the night. Sleeping in patches. But waking up early feeling ready to go. Crazy. Staying quit with you!

Nice sig pic Brian im a deadhead myself. I was lucky enough to catch Jerry before he died when i was a kid. It was around 1994 or so and there was a free show in Vermont, good times.

Thanks everyone for the support. Thanks to Andrew for the Hooch. The hardest part so far is getting past the triggers, like I just got done eating, so I'm supposed to have a dip in....or my body thinks so. My mind knows not to.

I know what you mean dude, i just finished lunch myself and it always used to be my treat to reach for a pouch. I guess i'll start substituting something else for my post meal treat. Perhaps those little cans of shredded beef jerky, that'll probably help with the oral fixation as well.
