New and Day 1

[Marcusaurelius]

Here is a good link on the things to expect when quit.

Keep up the good work. The first 3 days are the hardest for most. 1 day at a time.

"Is the sweating thing normal?" You ask.

I slept with a couple sheets the first few weeks because of those cold sweats and laundered them in the morning.

It's so messed up how bad this drug is and we don't realize it until we take off the goggles.

(Oh...and try to limit that coffee stuff and go primarily with water. I guarantee you are jittery enough without the extra stimulant.)

Thanks guys. So far so good, minus the walking zombie part. Going to be a rough ride home. I still have a roll of chew in the door of my truck. Part of me want to keep it so I know that the hardest part of the day I will have 5 cans beside me and I still was strong enough to say no... The other side of me after today says I should just toss it before I hit the road and tear into it without thinking.

Dude throw that shit out...

GET RID OF IT NOW

We don't fuck around here. We're serious about this, and we don't accept failure as an option. Be done with it.

So is the sweating a normal thing?

I bought some gum and tried that... I think my mouth got pissed at me for trying to fool it ha ha. So far sunflower seeds are a good distraction but way too high in salt for me.

Awesome thanks guys. Just had to sit in a two hour meeting... That was rough just sitting still like that without a dip. I started sweating lol yep I'm addicted.

Great job brother! Keep it up! You can make it through Day 2! I did Day 2 yesterday...sweating the whole way. You'll be so happy when you wake up tomorrow morning and you've made it through today nicotine free.

[Marcusaurelius]

Look on the upside your on day 2 Bro... I quit with you today!!!

Welcome Scott, Glad to have you by our side fighting the battle.. I quit with you today

[kkljinc]

Welcome to the group Scott, not a lot I can add to this welcome that these bad ass quitters have not done already.

I quit with you today!

[Scottm1682]

Oh yeah cold turkey this time around. So far my throat feels a little better today, lets hope all is well. Made a run to 7-11 for coffee and snacks and gum

[Rob1985]

You know the bad thing is that about a year or two ago my wife helped me quit. She mixed my dip into the fake stuff to ween me off. I was off tobacco for 6 months before I knew it lol. I was working one day and someone handed me a pouch and I said ah one won't hurt and I was right back in. I really did not want to quit then, I was more so doing it for the wife. Now I am doing it for me. It's time to stop and I quit

Remember, this is cold turkey... no mixing the real and fake, no patches or gum! NO NICOTINE PERIOD! You can do this, just push through!

[Rob1985]

Working so far from home does not help the situation out. 70 mile drive each way is a tough battle. So far going ok, made it in to work lol. I have noticed a few times now I reach for my back pocket whenever I get to my desk.... Talk about a habbit.

Just remember to stay strong, text a fellow quitter if you need to, pop in some gum or whatever else you can find!


Now get in and post roll in June 2013... be sure to read through the Welcome Center thoroughly before posting roll. Come join June and take this journey to quit with us!

Oh, almost forgot. It's highly likely that dipping wasn't helping your laryngitis!

PM me and I can give you my number.

Thanks Rob. Well I'm still worried its the dip that's caused my throat issues. Still a wait and see game I guess. Need to find a good dr around to get scoped out

Definitely get that checked out with a doctor. In the meantime, get yourself through each day. Use any of us that gave you numbers as a lifeline and the other resources on her. Read through HOF speeches and introductions from guys that have made it to the HOF... that stuff helps! Texting works and has saved many of us from caving. I am so glad I never gave up and caved. I have Baxster and Ajacks to thank for that! Get to know us... we are quitters together!

Again, you have my number, use me if you need to! 'rem'
