Just reading this thread and want to be on this guy's side. Along with pinched and many others on this site who are veterans - WELCOME.

Not much more I can add to your posts/threads that these other bad ass quitters haven't already said, but I wanted to join in because of what I read in your initial response. You said that you weren't going to let this get the best of you! I dig that attitude. I don't know you from Adam, but I believe what you said. That is how I felt - but I needed to lean on my friends here.

So, I'm here to be on YOUR team. I have been through the first 100 days like many of these other dudes and hope that you will follow us.

Congratulations on the decision. Awesome attitude - keep it up. It's going to suck for a while but, it does go away and get better.

Hey, it's like getting kicked in the balls - it hurts for a while, but then clears up!

Congrats and I'm proud to be quit with you -

You have passed through the first suck phase. Try to stay vigilant and watch over your quit to make sure that you come up with small goals in lieu of focusing on hitting a certain day.

You know how to reach me and on any day that you need me to help let me know. We do this together brother, no matter what day count either of us are on, today is always just another day of making a promise to be quit.

Keeo it going, you got this for another day! You're over the first, steepest bump, proving that you have what it takes. Now all you have to do is keep applying that determination one day at a time!

Great job. I seen that you were having a bad day yesterday. Lets make this day a little easier. If my calculation are correct you should be on day 4. This means that you no longer have the poison circulating through your veins.

I recommend you find the tallest building/mountain/tree around my friend. Climb to the top. Take a good look at the world without the poison blurring your vision, clouding your judgment, and desensitizing your feeling. This is the way you were intended to live your life. TAKE A GOOD LOOK! If you take a good look you will see that this is all worth it.

This is what it's all about. Start getting use to the idea of freedom. Smell it, taste it and feel it. Quit with you today.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

I'm on Day 3 and it is way fucking harder than Day 1 and 2 combined...

I started chewing (leaf) when I was very young (around 10 or so) and switched to snuff when I was 14. I'm now 42 and had my last chew Tuesday 11/19/2013 right after lunch.

I had tried "cold turkey" in the past with very poor results. I started "weening" myself 6 months ago, down from a can a day to a can every other day. Tuesday morning I decided when the can in my pocket was empty, I was going to quit.... So here I am after 32 years, sitting at my desk wanting to cry like a little girl....

After 24 years in the military, I'm reduced to this!!!!! Fuck that.... I'm not going to let it beat me anymore.... I'm gonna make it through this....
Yes you can! You are a quitter! And it will get better.
Read, learn, make some friends here. Take back your life, one day at a time.
Quitting is simple, but it isn't easy.
Post roll at the beginning of your day, every day.
Chat, PM, text with you brothers. You quit group is going through exactly the same thing you are going through. The rest of us have been there before. Reach out, take control. You can do this!

Yes, it's hard. But still way easier than chemo, jaw/tounge removal, feeding tubes and saying good bye to loved ones.

This just tells me that you're doing it right!!! CONGRATS, brother!!!
I agree with Bean, if it wasn't painful and you wouldn't be doing it right and you wouldn't remember the suck! Don't be ashamed about wanting to cry like a girl, many of us sat and cried as the realization hit us that we were so out of control. Reach out we that have been through the fire are here to guide you and offer our support.
Always remember how shitty these first few days are so that you never repeat them.

You can and will do this!!!

This is a post of mine on day 100 of my quit.

"Well let me just tell you that a lot of people put time and effort into my quit and I will not disrespect that. I have dug deep into my gut, realized that I couldn't beat this thing alone, asked for help from a bunch of strangers, family members and my Angel of a wife and made a pretty good start at quitting this addiction".

Brother, I am as tough as they come and during my quit, I had times where I was brought to me knees, I cried and I prayed for just minutes of relief.

Here I am at 124 days and was it worth it?

Hell yes!!!!!!
