KB...
Congrats on your 1 year quit!

Quittin with you my brother.

[JKEdwards]

Tomorrow is day 100.

All I can say to the new folks is it sucks until it doesn't. You don't have to like everyone you quit with. I'm know as the June douche in 2015. But if you quit EDD those guys and gals will take a bullet for you.

Hope all you new quitters ask for help when you need it. Stay honest and embrace the suck. No amount of pain will compare to the pain you'll have when your jaw rots out and no one wants to kiss you goodnight.

Stay Quit EDD

Congrats KB on your 100!
I quit with you every day!

Hey June douche - you've been quit for 100 days!!! - that's not a douche in my book. Congratulations.

Late of course but...

You don't know him. He is a douche. But he is a douche that has kept his promise and as he said, I would take a bullet for him. Put a bunch of Internet assholes who are raging out at the same time and somebody will emerge as the king douche. I'm probably the second in command douche. But at the end of the day, if corwin calls me at 3 am (assuming it wakes me up) I will be there for him. That's brotherhood.

We are family. You don't always like every member of your family all the time. But you are still family. Through all of our differences corwin. You are still my family. Congrats on today. See you again tomorrow.

A few days is nothing! What is really helping me is reading the June 2010 quit group's roll call. Unless there is secret cavers those cats have been at it for 5 years! Shit i want my 5 year HOF thing to be here tomorrow because this is something I am not giving up.

I met a girl who used to be real into me, we dated a few times and one day came real close to @#*!$! the !@#!). I asked her what happened back then and why she decided not to do it and she said she could smell my breath from the driveway. Think about that for your motivation. If you can't get laid because your breath stinks so bad she can smell it across the yard (figuratively i hope!) it is definitely time to make a change.

I think about my life through high school and college. I had horrible oral hygiene and chewed on top of it. I always worked out and played sports but since my freshman year i went from 200lbs to 320lbs. Yeah some of it was college stress..some of it was not having a job and sitting around all day feeling sorry for myself. But a HUGE HUGE HUGEEE part of it was that i was sitting on my ass, driving around in my truck chewing the tobacco that was slowly killing me making me that much more god damn unattractive each and every single @!#!%day of my life, rather than doing something about it.

Now I look back and think to myself how much different my life could have been if i had not started chewing. I'd at least have a good sexual memory to think back too with fondness! 'Crazy' Since I quit I have put on 8lbs. But i am ok with it because since I have quit, i have majorly increased my water consumption, I have started taking things more seriously like blood pressure medicine, brushing my teeth, eating 3 meals and 2 mini meals to keep my body fueled, and I have also learned to be more honest with the ones I love most.

My friends... think about all you can stand to lose and what potential you wont achieve with this shit slowly killing you! My doctor's words haunt me to this day. The reason I am so gassy, and bloated, and sore, and foggy and "fill in the blank" is because my body was dead and my mind was slowly going with it. Think about that for 1 fucking minute... the 8 years I was chewing tobacco my body was dead! Not literally obviously or I wouldn't be here writing this....but dead...

Dead meaning you need nicotine to shit, you need nicotine to think, you need nicotine to ease your stomach after a big meal, you need nicotine to drive to and from work, you need to nicotine before and after fucking your wife or girlfriend or neighbor for all i know... Christ do you want to be told what to do in the car, or what to do while making love, or what to do before and after meals? FUCK NO!

Whose with me! DAMN THE MAN! DOWN WITH THE MACHINE!

Awesome to read. you're like a virgin who's finally realized how much fun you should've been having.
I'm stealing your posts to rekindle my quit and my drive to help others.

Amen to you, brutha. Proud to be quit with you today.

And apologies about Sharpie'ing dicks on your face for being "asleep" in chat tonight. Actually, I'm not sorry. I thought it was pretty funny. hope you got a chuckle, too.
Cheers

Man I am proud of you! Keep at it! Stay quit! I'm a few days behind you and you're a huge inspiration!

Today was my hardest day yet. I got through it though and that's what matters. Had some really bad heart burn. Tomorrow starts week 2!

[corwinkb]

I know everyone is different but does anyone have a timeline on things like regaining balance in bodily constitution? My face feels so hot a small thunderstorm formed when i pressed my dad's cold beer bottle up to my cheek (didn't drink it though don't need the wrecklessness in my life right now).

My mouth still has sores coming and going but I switched to a GUM brand extra soft brush so I can work around those better.

Now the annoying embarrassing bit. I'm blasting ass gas at levels that FEMA would call a national disaster area.

But now here is what I am taking from all this. My body was in a state of denial just like I was psychologically. My doctor said all of this is due to the fact that nicotine lime all stressors trick your brain into over producing those hormones that numb pain, make you feel good, and supress basic needs like the want to eat or sleep.

Now that I an quit going on day 6 tomorrow I am realizing he was right. "The will is strong but the body is not." Especially with a corrupt brain taking commands in back alleys and corridors.

I noticed after 8 weeks of working out I wasn't showing any changes. Now that I have quit, while I hold water weight I already feel my muscles firing up, burning away in a way I haven't felt since my freshman year of college. Damn coming back from the dead feels good!

Keep Calm and Quit On my brothers!

Right on track and positively normal, bro!
There's timelines around here somewhere but I'm too old a fart to worry about, or figure out, how to paste one here 'winker'

With all the physical stuff... Just be patient. It really will all come back on-line and smooth out. It's pretty damn amazing because our addiction screwed everything up. Everything. The body is an amazing machine. Now, about your mouth, give it a "little" time but don't screw around if you're worried... See a pro. Set your mind at ease.

Rock on, man... Freedom will taste better each day!

Thanks Brother!

And about the sores in my mouth, they are usually gone after a day or less its quite frustrating lol I heard it has to do with PH imbalance in the mouth. Tobacco/Nicotine along with all of the other chemicals in your dip are very acidic so it is normal for it to go beast mode when trying to fight it out of your system.

Finished Day 4. Trying to keep my intro going. The hot flashes I am experiencing is rough. I've been taking cold showers and drinking water to trick myself into feeling cool.

I can also tell I am starting to retain water. Im up 6lbs already hopefully it doesn't go much higher. But fuck it. Let the women worry about looking to big. I'm a man, I workout side. I wear Duluth fire hose pants to work. I will lose it once it warms up and I can start working outside and run again !!!!!!

Every pound of weight I gain is worth it if it means I can live to flip big tobacco the bird and stand top of the mountain yodeling to the heavens!!!

Proud of you. Day 4 is huge you beat the suck. Nicotine is out of your system now and hopefully for good! You did it its all out, no your brain will start to rewire and you will have some ups and quite a few downs along the way but it all gets better! You can do this man!
