The Nic Bitch Struck Again

[Stranger999]

Try flossing with a mint flavored dental floss. :D

You are doing awesome DJ! Just think today you will have quit twice as many days as yesterday.

I quit with you and I can't wait to see your name in the roll with mine tomorrow.

Here's more fuel for your fire...

I was a 25 year user. 2 to 2.5 cans a day. That's an insane amount of nicotine, man. I could easily stuff half a can in my face. At times... it made me sick enough to puke. It was just too damn much for my body. But... what did I do after it passed? Yep... packed another'n in my hole. Each day was a trip or 2 to the store. Ninja style too. Wife needed gas? I'll go! Need sugar? I'll go. Hell... I even picked up my daughter late from school because that trip to get dip NEEDED to get done. My life was a damn near constant planning session to fit in dip.

Holy. Hell.

The time and energy and money wasted is something I can't even think about. The all encompassing freedom of quitting is redemptive bro. Even close to 900 days quit I can find something new to appreciate every day because of that scary as hell "day 1" I typed April 17, 2013. You need to love your quit and revel in how bad this beginning sucks. It's you healing and it's you finding real freedom. That's... badass.

Hi Applejack.

I had been chewing not 25 years but more like 19. I to would pack my lip so dam tight puking would set in. It was fucking rediculous and yet I still did it. I ued to chew an can and half a day then I decided If I could cut down to a can every 3 days I was golden!!! WRONG! I wasn't golden I was a fucking idiot.

Not sure if my trips were as in depth as yours but I do recall making excuses to go to town so I could get a can of dip without the wife knowing all though in all actuality she really did know. I just didnt think so.

So far on day 2 the suck is not so bad. Cravings are minimal at best. No rage or anger yet. What I do have is a headache and a nasty ass fucking taste in my mouth that wont go away even after brushing..... repeatedly.

So for not I sit here and read on and quit today with all you badasses!!!! Thanks for being here and having such words of wisdom. Take care and rock on!!!

Dude... Atomic Fireballs.

Get some!

I did full on cold turkey... no fake or anything. I had to break that cycle. But... Atomic Fireballs were my bitch for a looooong ass time! I used them like it was my job.They burn and they last forever... if you don't try to chomp 'em like me. Chipped a tooth and had to call it good cuz they were becoming a crutch too! Whatever it takes, man. Rock on...

Sunflower seeds and peanuts here. I do like atomic fireballs though. I might have to try them out. If anything just to try and get this funky ass taste from my mouth that even brushing wont take away.

Nice job posting up day 2 Porky. Now just keep that promise, and that's one step further into the grave for ol' nicotine.

Hi KingNothing

Nothing more I would rather do that to post a day 2 roll and go for another glorious day with out the nic bitch.

Day 2 ..... Never thought I would make a day 1 out of it. I am so glad I came and posted roll and read many many forums. Now on to day 2.

You are a bad ass! I am a couple weeks ahead of you and I promise it gets a shit ton better. The craves are fleeting at best now and I have my life back. I was more of a ninja/ closet dipper. My wife thought I quit years ago (which is technically true, but I started a year later). She doesn't really know what I struggled with the past several weeks, in fact only y'all do.

Having your wife right there supporting and pushing you will be a huge assist. Just don't take your rage out on her (yeah its coming...). Stock up on some snacks, sunflower seeds, and gum. The 10-15 pounds you gain over the next few weeks are great, because the exercise you have to do later to lose them will also help strengthen your quit!

Basically the decision you made yesterday will only lead to a positive outcome. No poison in your mouth, healthier lifestyle, improved hydration, more exercise, new hobbies as a distraction, and even financial benefits. Remember, I know it has been said by many here before me, "Quitting won't kill you, but continuing to support your addiction will"

I quit with you today.

Thx Stranger. I quit with you today as well bud.

[Stranger999]

I would be 42 years old. I know no one can quit for me and I can't do it for anyone else but only for me. I spit my chew out today and dumped my can down the toilet and have not looked back. Yeah, I'm using Valium but only to keep me calm. No Nic replacement crap or fake chew. I quit with you today pab.

Look my friend, your not getting any younger. Not trying to scare you but I had a heart attack at age 48 and was in better than average shape, doctor said dipping was major factor, so frigging bad of an addict took me almost 2 year's later to quit, that's damn pitiful. What I'm trying to say it's not just killing by cancer but numerous other ways. I looked at my grandkids and damn near cried thinking about how they would be scared of me without a lip, jaw ,see my point is you can do this and I will be on your side!

I see your point for sure. it is a scary thought to think of my self with a cancer or missing jaw. I knew I wanted to quit. When I was referring to the doctor earlier it was just to find out if it was ok for me to take valium, not to quit. I was quitting regarless of the fact. No one was changing my mind or making it up for me today. I made a promise to yall and I intend on staying quit today.

The promise is to yourself first. We can kick your ass here every day but in the end it is up to you to do it.

I quit with you today.

Well my wife came home from work and I discussed quitting with her. She is on board with me. I also been reading a bunch here on site the last couple hours. Trying to keep my mind off the nic. So far so good. Valium is on board and helping out as well. I talked to doc today and he said my 5 mg was good to go for me.

Thanks for all the replies fellas. I really appreciate it!

Dj how old are you? Come on brother, we're all addicts here and always will be. No one can quit for you, you have to look in the mirror and say I wanna live a better and longer life and I refuse to put that shit in my mouth! Whatever you have to do to keep nicotine out of your mouth do it. When craving hits,go over to dresser open drawer place nuts in it and slam 2-3 times usually gets rid of cravings! Seriously man this shits killing you daily, you gonna wait till they tell you that spot on your gums don't look good, before you quit? Remember post early and be a man of your word and you cannot fail! I quit with you today! Pm me for my digits but only if you man enough to have your balls busted if you screw up,because see,I take this shit for what it is,life or death! I care
