Most on here will tell you to abstain from adult beverages. Probably good advice. Actually, it's very good advice if you are having a beer or several with people that are also nicotine addicts like yourself. You have a few, they have a few, they pull out a can, and you find yourself starting over again and feeling like shit about it.

I, for the most part, don't live around anyone that dips or smokes or chews. None of my neighbors do. None of the friends that I hang out with do (or if they do they are ninjas like myself). So I haven't worried about drinking the last three weeks. Actually, I figure that drinking has been insurance for me - after a few beers I know I'm not driving anyway so if I don't have any around the house then I'm not going to drive to go get some!

Souli gave me the push I needed to fight this addiction. I'm wrapping up day 5.

i've been working out every morning for a hour which helps calm the nerves for a good part of the day. my jaw hurts from chewing so much gum and have a bunch of blisters/whatnot from (i think) plowing through so many sunflower seeds.

the nights have been the most challenging. cravings are bad and winding down to sleep is the worst. my old routine would be coming back after a long day, pack a huge lip, and relax. i'd have it in for the entire evening. does anyone have any advice they can share?

also, i enjoy an adult beverage from time to time (or more) but i've purposely avoided the last 5 days. the weekend is coming up and i would like to have some beers without falling into a nic trap. any thoughts or previous experience that may help? dont think that made sense, but hopefully you know what i mean.

Thx for all the support and ready to continue this fight.

All you got to do is make the choice.

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Count me in too. Don't know who you are AV but I do know what you're going through. So does everyone else on this site.

Be courageous and take the first step. I know it's difficult. You can do this and we can help but you have to take that first step...

Fear is quite a powerful human emotion. It can even create paralysis.

One of the ways humans have coped with fear over history is by participating in groups. We can study the negative aspects of groups by reading about Despots in war or observing the mob mentality. On a positive note, we have all cheered sports teams that have overcome insurmountable odds. Groups are powerful. Groups enable individuals to overcome fear and accomplish more than they could on their own.

Here at KTC we have created a group that produces very positive results for those who have decided to use nicotine no longer. By participating in this group, quitters have a higher success rate than if they were to quit on their own. Why? Mentoring and support. I would imagine our success rate is as high as any method available. If you join us you will learn what symptoms to expect and how to handle them. You will have an access to knowledge, a plan and support; support like no other.

Addiction is no joke. It is powerful.

You can get the original AV back. You may not remember him, but he is there. He is more powerful, happier and fitter than the one nicotine owns and presents to the world.

Fear not, you can do this. You can count on me for help.
