Closing in on one year and so many emotions. Still have the mind games, like the old one dip a year won't hurt. Before everyone attacks, I am not doing it, just on guard. About this time last year I was chomping away on nicorette and on my way to Michigan, no idea that i would soon be completely done with nicotine. Here is to a better 2014. 'zombie'
No more What If's, I quit everyday going forward

today sucks, i feel like my eyeballs are burning and cant stop thinking about dip.  My work desk is definately a trigger, thats what I get for dipping here all the time.   'ba 'bang head' ng head'
great way to kill a crave at the work desk. Open desk drawer, put your nuts in there, slam the drawer shut. With enough repetition your brain will be rewired and the work desk will make you cry instead of crave. shocker
Day 208 - made it through a work day with no craves. I think this is a first. I just felt a need to memorialize this moment somewhere. Am I still an addict. Yes. Will I crave again. Yes. But there is something about a good day where the nic bitch has left me alone for a while.
Ron - glad you didn't have to slam nuts in a drawer to reach this milestone? Or maybe you did?

You've been the glue that held a bunch of fog cutters together, and it is good to see some good news on your update. You also always provide interesting answers to the question of the day... Hope Nick enjoys your cat!

Rockin' intro Ron.

Man that knows where he's been and where he's going. Damn good to see.

Remember my little tip about the workout supplements. Drink lots of water. Drop and do as many push ups as you can when the trigger hits or maybe try a pair of hand grip trainers if you are at a desk. Do whatever to refocus the pain and suffering somewhere else.

You got this.

Stay strong Spartonron, are you drinking logs of water? burning eyes could be dehydration. Any chance of working away from your desk for a couple days??? That may help.

Quitting does put things in perspective. Allways good talking with you. Keep up the quit with all of us in april. If you need anything you know how to find me. Our talks have been very helpful in staying away from the shit.

Quote from: spartanron
I am Ron, originally from Michigan, moved to Los Angeles in 2004. I am a 21+ year Dipper, started as a freshmen in College and spent the last 15 or so years at a tin a day habit. Earlier this year I went to the Doctor because I had been feeling lethargic. Was assigned a new doctor who gave me the normal lecture on quitting I would ignore. I did go on a low carb diet and agreed to try bupropin and let it build up inside of me with a targeted quit date of Oct 15, 2012. At the end of October (my target quit date came and went), I woke up in the middle of the night in a moment of clarity and thought things I had never thought before. Past relationship mistakes become clear to me (I am doing a flyover here, still really hurts to talk about) and I started to gain a new perspective on life. While on vacation on Nov 13 I got more internal clarity that my first love had always been chewing tobacco and it was time to put that tin I had with me into the toilet. I went to the nicorette gum and finally went nicotine free on 12/23. I have learned so much over the past three months and feel like its been an incredibly altering period of my life. KTC has been instrumental and the support and friendship I have gotten so far is treasured. Thanks so much for listening.
Welcome Ron! Amazing what an addiction can do to you isn't it? Sounds like you have your head on straight about what needs to be done. I quit with you today.
