Intro

Day 31- one month in and I had my first nicotine dream. I dreamed I caved with a can of snuff then threw it out and started smoking. I woke up pissed off and then embarrassed. Just proves that this addiction can't be cured, it can only be beaten back one day at a time.

The Quit is strong in this one!
Don't think so NB..

Congrats on a month!

Day 23- feel like a zombie. Had a lond weekend but both kids and wife got sick. Finally got them better and I wake up with a stomach virus last night, probly from the kids doctors office. Don't think I could get a dip now if I wanted to- would puke my guts up. Im not having a lot of cravings anymore. It pisses me off when I think about how long I waited to start my quit. And the damage I have done because of it.

I felt the same way Duck man!
I was pissed also, like I was conned into it when I started.
Still makes me mad. Use that anger to help others. And some words of encouragement..... It gets better. I'm at day 96 and my romancing thoughts of the can are over. I hate it. It's a lie. I hate lies.
I quit with you today.

Day 14 - after having a few good days, I had a strange feeling come over me this morning. I didn't think about dipping, but my first thought was how I didn't really need this site anymore. I had made it two weeks and I could do it on my own. I posted roll but it kind of bothered me all day. After lunch it hit me, my brain had replaced "i need nicotine" with "you don't nee KTC". Definitely some rewiring going on in my noggin today. I will definitely be back tomorrow to post roll but have any of you had similar thoughts?

Yes, for sure. I have a suggestion. Each time the nic-bitch advances the idea "you don't need to be here" You remind her that once you receive the gift of quit, it is your responsibility to pass the gift of quit on freely to others. The nic-bitch hates this.

Trust me with quit, the more you give...the stronger your quit.

Damn well put scowick! It definitely helps staying involved! Keep your head son I said it once I say it again the bitch can convince you your gonna die if you don't get a dip! Stay focused and be strong in your quit! ODAAT! EDD!

Day 11- I feel really good today. I work as a project inspector and today was my first paving project during my quit. I was worried about the cravings but they didn't come today. I used some mint chew and some fireballs but had a easy day. The headaches that I had the first week are gone. I know the fight is never over and tommorow is a new day, but I am going to enjoy the good days when they come.

Right on Patrick. I am a PM for a Grading and Paving Co. and it was tough for me in the beginning. Nearly everyone on all our crews dip. They were ruthless when they found out I was quitting. The jokes on them now! I'm free and they are still "slaving" away. 11 days is huge brother! Well done!

Day seven- I feel like crap today, by far the worst day yet. Yesterday I worked with a friend who dipped all day long. I told him about the site and offered him some fake chew but he laughed it off. Oh well I'll keep working on him, hopefully my quit will rub off on him. After one week I have had headaches, anxiety, cotton mouth and loss of focus. The oral fixation has been bad but I will keep chewing the hell out of anything but tobacco. One week down, the rest of my life to go.

Hang in there my friend! We got your back! It gets better when you take back control of your mind and body just takes a while! Stay quit! Damn proud be quit with you odaat!

Thanks for all the support. I finally do understand that I am an addict. Its good to see the proof in you guys that it can be done. I called my hunting partner last night and told him if hunting got in the way of my quit that I would hang up my shotgun. I dont think he believed me or liked it but I feel confident that I will let nothing get in my way. After my first failed attempt I posted roll like a champ this morning. There really are a lot of instructions if you take the time to read them.

Nice job posting roll. Don't just feel "confident" something won't get in your way. Flat out do it and stomp anything that gets in your way. You have one goal today and that is to stay quit. Nothing else is as important right now. Nothing! You can do this and it takes the will to battle today. Quit with you today.
