This is going to suck!!!

Day 7 of my quit.
My tongue hurts so f***** bad, my jaw hurts from chewing gum, I'm like a human garbage disposal. You guys have any options I haven't considered?  Is mint chew and stuff like that a good option, pro's and Con's if anyone has ever used them.
Thanks for your Help

Personally I was a HUGE fan of the fake chews...

Smokey Mountain and Hooch are my two personal favs.

Thanks Brother

I don't know if this is the place to put this but I figured its as good as any.  If there is a better place, mayber somebody could let me know. 

'help' this is day 2 for me.  Thanks to everyone with their encouraging words.  I have to be honest though.  This is harder than I thought. 
     Does anyone remember that MegaDeath song with the lyrics "Icy fingers Claw My Back"  kinda feel like that right now.  My every thought is consumed with getting a chew, how good it would be.
     on the other hand, I sure as hell don't want to go through this again, its amazing how the justification attempts my head is making.  I wish I could just go to sleep and wake up in 3 days when it was all over.  On a positive note, my last chew was at around 10 a.m. yesterday, Boy did I sleep good last night.  Woke up and felt rested and felt really good....until the nic fits started up a little while ago.

Hang in there Nate. It will get better it will take a few more days The fog will roll in and you will be in a stupor but quit. Whatever you do don't let the Nic Bitch convince you a dip will help. The nicotine will be out of your system in anther day or so then it will all be a mind game. Be strong you can win this battle.

Be resillant man, everyone, and I mean everyone on here, went through the same thing. As mark said, it will get easier. just hang in there and know if you go back you will be a failure and a loser. those days are over.

Welcome Nate. I'm from Colorado too. I just realized that in September, 1987 (22 years ago), I became dependent on the nic bitch. I'm 46 days quit right now, and moving forward w/ you. You can, and will, get past this. Don't fall for the lies she tells you! Don't look at the new panties she's wearing! She is, and always will be, a B-I-T-C-H!

Stay on this site. Read, post, vent, whatever you need. Just get through the first 72 hours, then you're nic free. You'll work through the fog, maybe work through some rage, but in the end, you'll be stronger, and you'll be quit! Get some numbers from your quit group, or pm me for mine. You can do this!

natemtb,

This is good stuff. Make sure you are telling this to the folks in your quit group as well. They are currently going through the same symptoms you are. This may help one of them, and one of them may know something that can help you.

Stay quit.

More CO quitters. I love it. Someday we'll take over the TX quitters on this site. Well, maybe not. Keep it up. It does suck. And guess what, it will keep sucking for a while. 3 days is not a magic number. It will continue to get better every day though. PM me if you need a fellow CO quitter's number. It's yours.

NIT - 546 days quit.

I just sat here for the last 20 minutes looking at my last 3/4 full can of red seal. Then I got on Killthecan and read the 101 reasons to quit, then I read your reply's to my post. I just dumped the can of chew where it should be, the trash. My quit date is today. Its nice to know that the advice you guys give is coming from people that have been through it.
Thanks, Nate

let's do this man, good choice

Outstanding, just OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!

[redtrain14]

Hell yeah nater! Way to go!

Now we make it stick.

Buckle up, your in for a hell of a ride. Head over to Dec 09 and post up an intro, get to know your quit bro's and sis's, get involved and read everything you can get your hands on.

You need anything, let me know if I can help.

[Jason Longley]

Congrats bud! The next three days will be tough but so worth it in the long run.

The thing that helped me a lot was ALL of these guys on here had already gone through exactly what I was. Being a man I am competetive by nature and if I caved than it was like saying that all of these guys are better or tougher than me. Even if I never came back on here I would still be a pussy in my own mind and that will never happen.
