[MikeWC]

Listen to Ready man - a real vet - I'm just a sorry ass 35 day quitter - listen and drink the kool aid - I was using at least a can a day - most days a can and a half - 18 + years - if my sorry ass can make 35 days with the help of these vets and my quit group you're gonna kick some real ass - listen to those who have been where you want to be. Don't keep putting off quitting if you want to quit - if you want it fuckin quit if you don't want to quit go away and come back here when you want to quit. that's my .02

Jake, it sucks serious ass what we are ALL going through. You are not alone and those are the words you need to keep telling yourself, keep reading here, there is a lot of information to absorb. You have come to the right place if you are serious about quitting that shit. It does get better, and I say that after only 13 days quit after stuffing my lip for 34 years.

[Ready]

who else was hurting physically. like sore back, sore hips. sore joints. and shit? not sure if its from lack of sleep and or nicotine withdrawal making me feel physically sick.

This is a distraction.

Period.

Embrace it.

You can do this.

[jakeryan2410]

thats a good point. all in is where i need to be.

I'm totally digging this forum. sounds like you all went through it already.

I'm prepared for everything. drinking a TON of water. oh and i'm using sun flower seeds to help with the mouth craves... helping alot.

only thing i wasn't prepared for was sleep deprivation for this long.

I wont post roll, until I'm sure i wont have the chewing gum but I just physically flushed a half can of chew.

Excuses suck.

Post roll.

Keep your word.

Simple - yes.

Easy - no

Not at first.

I can smell your fear and I understand it. I feared as well. feared like you. I overcame my fear here. With the help of these fine quitters.

[Ready]

I kept a can of chew around in case. like i had a panic attack thinking it was all gone.

Time to go "all in"

The alternative is failure.


Burn your damn boat man. We will catch you.

[Ready]

but i'm debating having a piece of the gum. I dont want to sound like a cunt, but if I dont sleep tonight people are going to start thinking im a crack addict or something, my eyes are BLOODSHOT red, like a vampire or something.

Not an option.

[Ready]

fuck it. i'll talk to myself.

Nope. You're not alone.

anxiety. I never had a problem with it, all of a sudden I'm a nervous wreck.

This is normal. It will pass.

Shocker it felt like someone was on my chest, couldn't breathe.

Been there.

I do love it.

No. You don't. Trust me.

but now i'm depressed as shit.

That's normal, for now.

over reacting to everything. yelling at people. I swear I'm just looking for a reason to start a fight. totally out of character for me.

Normal. Normal. Normal. It will pass.

Realistically. how long am I looking at here?

Today. That's all. Give your word today. keep it. What more do you want? There is no miracle cure. There is freedom. And it's worth fighting for.

i used that replacement shit for a week to try and get some relief.

If you desire relief, quit poisoning yourself.

I was edgy and irritated, but i slept at least. last 3 nights i got a total of maybe 4 hours total of sleep.

There is always a price to pay. It is worth it.

but seriously how long? how long before I can sleep at least 5 hours a night?

It is different for each individual.

any thoughts?

Yep. Quit.

Whatever it takes. If your not willing to do whatever it takes...

There is a way out.

Balls in your court.

awesome. so that roll post is a promise to stay nicotine free for the day. Something I can't promise today. I will NOT be chewing, but i'm debating having a piece of the gum. I dont want to sound like a cunt, but if I dont sleep tonight people are going to start thinking im a crack addict or something, my eyes are BLOODSHOT red, like a vampire or something.

it looks like every blood vessel in the whites of my eyes is burst. pretty nuts. i should upload a picture or something.

christ. so 10 days was the magic number for you? thats the kind of info i'm looking for. I'm only on day 3. I swear if I could just get a little sleep i'd feel so much better. How about this, I kept a can of chew around in case. like i had a panic attack thinking it was all gone.

I just flushed it. I wont post roll, until I'm sure i wont have the chewing gum but I just physically flushed a half can of chew. believe it or not, 1 dip for me was half a can almost, so that wasn't something to be taken lightly for me.

I did it though!

mich. how much did you chew / day?

[mich 34]

I was pretty good at about 10 days - my wife tells me I was a dick but I wasn't so bad that she left me!! could be more or less for you - read - go to live chat read - drink a fuck ton of water, stay busy - POST ROLL

[jakeryan2410]

fuck it. i'll talk to myself. I dont even know what I want from this place. maybe just to talk to a few people who may be as miserable as me.

some things, anxiety. I never had a problem with it, all of a sudden I'm a nervous wreck. what the F... I didn't even put the nicotine withdrawal and this anxiety together. I'm pretty sure its from that though.

Shocker it felt like someone was on my chest, couldn't breathe. I thought i was having a heart attack, before I started reading. I think is the nicotine withdrawal.

lets say I chew 3 cans a day.. how many smokes would that be like. because i used to smoke like 10-15 cigs a day for about 10 years. quit that. waited a few weeks no real problem after 2 days. and started chewing. 4 maybe 5 years ago.

got worse and worse, finally i said fuck that i'm done with this shit. I do love it. but now i'm depressed as shit. over reacting to everything. yelling at people. I swear I'm just looking for a reason to start a fight. totally out of character for me.

Realistically. how long am I looking at here? another week? as I said before. I haven't had a chew in 10 days. but I had heavy doses of nicotine from the patch and gum for 7 days. then the last 3, 73 or 74 hours im nicotine free. i used that replacement shit for a week to try and get some relief.

I was edgy and irritated, but i slept at least. last 3 nights i got a total of maybe 4 hours total of sleep.

and that is after ambien, and xanax pills.

eihter way i'm not on anything the last 2. totally want to suffer, get what i'm owed. so I never forget this and never have to deal with it again. if it was easy i'd just start up again, but I know i wont now not after this shit.

but seriously how long? how long before I can sleep at least 5 hours a night?

any thoughts?

[mich 34]

check your inbox - post roll and quit - read the welcome center (above in pink) ask for help if you don't get anything.

[Ready]

not sure if i'm in the right spot. i need to try and vent somewhere. really cracking up. quit my 2 to 2.5 can a day habit. man i lived with this shit in my mouth. i never thought withdrawal would be this bad.

i picked up chew a about 4 years ago when i quit smoking. really had no problem there. quitting chew for me is 100 times harder.

anyone else notice this as well? damn!!!! i haven't slept, in the last 3 days where i'm 100% nicotine free, no patch or gum, i haven't slept at all.

I need sleep tonight, not much I can do. I quit for me. because i want to be quit. not for any other reason. I'm deep enough in that i believe I will never chew again, but I want some relief as well.

I quit last monday but used the patch 21mg for 7 straight days and the gum on top of that. I ddroped both of those this monday, at 8pm, 73 hours with no nicotine in my system.

biggest problem is sore back and mucles from not sleeping for a week. feel like i got hit by a truck, anyone to relate their story to mine? i need some kind of support or to talk to someone who understands..

I understand.

Sucks balls at first.

The prize is freedom.

You can't even imagine how great things will be when you are quit.

You post roll yet?

You want this?

Show me!

I'm right here right now. I will help you.

Your move.
