Day 16, oddly enough I get super bad cravings lately. Feel like I'm starting my quit all over again for some reason but they typically go away and come back every few hours so I'm living it up in between those hours.

Message to future self, never touch that crap again. This sucks ass.
Day 16 was the lowest point of my life, Dakota. It was the day that I found KTC. Things get so much better from where you are. I'm not going to gush on about what is ahead because you wouldn't believe me. But, one day at a time, you will achieve greatness.

BTW... you'll never have to relive the past 16 days of sheer hell ever again.
Seriously. The last few days were worse than the 5-10 days. Maybe equal to 1-4. Thanks man I needed that to look forward to. At this point it's feeling like it won't ever get better.
I remember being in your shoes and people telling me it gets better. I remember every time someone telling me it gets better I would think "when? when the F@#ck does this get better!" I remember being acutely aware that I was quitting nicotine 24/7 for about the first 60 days or so. Not craving all the time but consciously aware I was quitting! I believe you are a fighter and a winner. You are winning the fight! This is a marathon not a sprint, you have the tools and some BAQs in your corner. Just keep fighting and you win!

It is Sep 11 and hoping that you and you and your family are fine after the hurricane.

Be proud you are still quit. You have shown you can work through any issue and stay quit.

Day 10 almost over. Felt great today. Boarded up the house for the hurricane and even as a trainer and a daily lifter, I felt great with the amount of work I did. Also, rewarding myself with my first drink in a few weeks, figured I'd be alright as there's no dip left anywhere to buy lol
Seeds are flowin but cravings are minimal.
Today was a big win. I'm honored to quit with you today.
You're the man worktowin. I may as well go Hide my ass in a cave if I fail after today I'd hate myself lol
No chance of failure today, you've posted roll.
Yessir. Plus hurricanes got everyone emptying the shelves of all tobacco so there's none within 30 miles of me anyway even if i Was gonna fail lol
You are the real deal. You understand what's at risk . Soon you'll reap the benefits. And you cant even imagine how great they are. Prayers with you and your family through the hurricane. Stay safe. You've got some bad ass quitters above me supporting you!

Day 8... For whatever reason aside from maybe day 1, today has been the hardest day so far. I reach for my can in my pocket or in my desk every 10 minutes at least and when I realize it is not there I am overwhelmed with this frustration. I am pretty sure with the amount of seeds I am eating they are equally as much of a threat to my health as dip was. I made my promise today and posted roll and I WILL NOT CAVE. However, today sucks ass. That is all...
It gets better. The seeds don't last forever, but they're a good way to get through the next little bit while your mind is reprogramming itself. Some days suck, no doubt about it. It won't get a lick better by using nicotine, you can guarantee yourself that much. Tomorrow won't suck as bad and you'll be glad you didn't succumb to the temptation and damn proud of yourself for winning the battle. Keep it up, Skinny.
I didn't cave yesterday and you're damn right I'm proud. 7 years of caving daily when I knew I shouldn't put this crap in my body. Every time I push on during a crave I feel proud. 24 hours at a time. Today was a hell of a lot easier than yesterday and if tomorrow is rough one I know where to turn! KTC. 'archer'
