Hey there, I am in the same boat. It has only been a couple of days for me. I came home Friday and committed to quit. The weekend was easier for me, filled with time for my family and easy to keep my mind off of it because I could keep busy. The work week and this morning I was not ready for. Drive in is usually spent with my first dip. Get in, log onto my computer, get some water and have another dip. Conference calls, another dip, lunch - more dip. And so on..... Whenever I wanted a dip today I got up and got a glass of water, chewed some gum, or had a jolly rancher. Something, ANYTHING except for tossing that shit in my mouth. Ride home was pure torture as I has to stop for gas. My normal routine includes going in, picking up a tin and getting gas. Not today, paid at the pump and was on my way

Got home, had dinner and thought......I normally would have a dip. So I did some work around the house shook it off. I realize that I can get support here but at the end of the day I have to say no, I have to want this. You can do this but you have to say no. Triggers are not going away, you are still going to drive, you are still going to shower (we hope), you are still going to work - you are just going to do these things without dip - because the truth is dip doesnt make you do them better. Hang in there bud the first couple days fucking blow but I am feeling a little bit better coming into day four. One day at a time.

Okay well since for some reason i cant post anything new topics on any other messages board rooms on the site but i have to vent a tiny bit, so i dont really care if its in the wrong place haha... well its been about almost 7 hours of quit and im already about to lose my mind. mostly cuz of all the damn triggers! my usual routine of the day goes as follows: morning time- dip,work, coffee, maybe another dip. Afternoon- lunch (sometimes) dip, work another dip. driving home from work, dip. get home take a shower- dip. after dinner- dip. a little mid evening dip and then of course before bed dip. i guess what im trying to say is i have so many goddamn triggers or routines im really questioning how the hell i can do this! i mean i know i can and its gonna take a lot from myself but it really scares me how after only 7 hours of quit i can be craving nic so much! i guess 2marrow is another adventure an another day im ready to be nic free!

Tayrod, I hear the enthusiasm in your words, because you can sence that you are gonna gain control back in your life, rather than living your life scheduled around your discusting old dip routine.
I'm estatic to be quit with you! Be prepared for the oral fixations. Go out and get some sugar-free candy, gum, sunflower seeds, fake, whatever you like to fight the craves, cause you and I both know they will come, but unlike last time, you ARE NOT going to cave. You already promised to everybody that today is in the books, and tomorrow you will wake up and post roll first thing in the morning and swim in the suck. We are all here for you.
PM me if you need any numbers to call or txt during the day.

And like Loot said, this is YOUR QUIT, not hers! You do your dirty work!

oh im ready! im gonna try and order some fake just to try it out and if it dont work im going straight to seeds and gum. it will definatley be a bumpy road but with people like you on this site will make it so much easier knowing that im not the only one! its all about control and together we can make it happen!

(clip) by telling her to open it and flush it down the crapper!

BRRRRAAAAKESSS!

No dude...it aint your chicks gig. You let her flush it and you leave yourself open to the old, "I'll show her!" routine.

Yous a big boy....you manage your shit by yourself. She can watch....and verbally participate...but YOU mange YOUR shit bro.

This quit aint about her. Boiled down, it has ZERO to do with her.

Again...this is YOUR shit....soon to be OUR shit when you post roll.

you know what loot your right, its MY journey not hers. i know she will be there to verbally help but this is my challenge and im ready to take it down! thats what i needed to hear and wouldnt have if it werent for this site!

[TAYROD21]

Welcome. I know you want to be there with her, but knowing what I know now, I'd go ahead and get the can dumped before I got home. It's just not worth the risk. At the very least, I'd go ahead and tell her to have the can ready to dump when you got home. Then you will have some splainin to do if you get home and decide you are going to finish that can and then quit.

When you make up your mind that you are quitting, the nic bitch will be very unhappy. She will be whispering in your ear all sorts of reasons why you need to have "just one:" it helps me concentrate, it puts me in a better mood so people like me more, i can't stay awake on this long drive, etc... Know this will happen and be prepared. Also know that it's all bs. We can do everything better without nicotine, it's just that we're addicts and have forgotten and don't have enough sense to look around at all the people around us functioning without poisoning themselves. Most importantly, remember that we just quit for today. We can all quit for one day. Worry about tomorrow when it gets here. I've quit that way for the past 60 days. Keep plowing through the early days of your quit and know that it gets easier. There is no excuse to ever use that shit again.

Glad to be quit with you.

HEY THANKS A BUNCH MAN! very encouraging words!

Welcome tayrod

Willpower will work only for as long as you are determined to stay quit. But maintaining this resolve is probably not something you can simply will to happen. You need a plan. The plan will sustain your resolve.

Post roll every day. Commit yourself to helping others in your quit group to stay quit. Build up accountability. Keep your word.

[TAYROD21]

thanks for all the info guys! this site will be helping me a TON! im actually pumped up to quit!

[grimace8777]

I took my last chew out about a half an hour ago after checkin this site out... i have one full can at home that im going to use to surprise the fiance by telling her to open it and flush it down the crapper!

Dump it and do it before you get home! If you really WANT to quit for you its the right thing to do. Man up, it's going to be a bumpy ride but everyone on here is living proof it can be done. If you are commited this will be the only time in your life that you post a day 1. PM me if you need help and I'm serious don't try to go at this alone.

Man up, dump it out and do it now!
