The Nic Bitch Struck Again

[DjPorkchop]

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. You posted roll and I posted roll today. That means we made a vow to ourselves and the brotherhood that we will not use nicotine today.

It is awesome that we made that promise and now we need to do what ever it takes to keep nicotine out of our mouths for the day. Use mints, gum, some have said cotton balls, I use raisins or Jake's mint chew.

One big help is to drink lots of water. Once you finish a sip, take another. Water will help quench the cravings and will also help flush the nic out of your system.

The fuzziness is the Fog. It is your brain getting use to functioning without the nic. It will suck but I promise you it will get better. Read words of wisdom and keep that promise.

I quit today with you and we are strong and will make it to roll tomorrow.

Hi NoMore

Appreciate the tips. Since i Posted roll a while ago I been refreshing the boards looking for new posts and then reading older posts as well. I do need to trade some didgits for sure. I know it is going to get rough on me. I have a valium on board as we speak so so far its not hitting me to hard. I do feel a bit fuzzy so to speak.

I quit with you also today brother!

Read intros, words of wisdom, and hall of fame speeches. I would start with the words of wisdom. There are some incredibly motivating posts in there to help you stay up for this battle.

Don't hesitate to reach out, there are a bunch of people that will jump at the chance to help.

Roll Posted! Feels great! Ill be hitting the boards all night most likely looking for inspiration and support. I know this is gonna be rough. I made it 3 hours last night. I plan on it lasting for today then renew tomorrows promise.

Nice job posting roll Porkchop. Next step: you don't "plan" on staying quit the rest of the day. You ARE quit the rest of the day. If you give yourself an out, you'll take it. Know how I know? Because I'm an addict too, and I would take it if I had an out. I don't though. I posted my promise, end of story.

Good start Porkchop. Now to stay quit minute by minute/ hour by hour until it gets better (it will get better) a review of tools.

1. Post your promise on roll. (Look at that promise as a reminder).
2. Get digits from December quitters, they are a strong support group
3. Live chat (good quitters that can help you get through the suck)
4. The emergency thread on the quit group page (good people monitor this)
5. Read, read , read: other Intros, Hall of Fame Speeches, Legend entries, any quit group from page one onwards (start with December 15).

Use these tools. I quit with you today.

Hello everyone. My name is Ray and I am an addict!

I started dipping back in 88 in high school and dipped for 4 years until I got out of school and just never did it again. Easy as could be really. Never even put a single thought to it. Fast forward to 2001....

I was a 3 pack per day smoker and I quit smoking one day because it was my time. It was rough but I did it. 6 months in my quit from smoking I was coaching C leauge baseball with my brother inlaw. He offered me a dip one day and then it started. That day I was at the store buying a tin of Kodiak. BIG mistake. I have been hooked ever since.

I decided after chewing for a year or two I was going to give it up. Ok so do it!! I did.... for 6 hours. In that 6 hours I had cold sweats, shakes, pukes, shits, laying on the couch all but in convulsions. Man did that suck really fucking suck!!! I caved and have been chewing til this day.

So I joined this site last year and gave it a try. I posted roll and all for about a week and then ended up in the hospital. No access to this site or anything. As soon as I got out of the hospital my wife had me a tin of Dak and off to the races I went yet again.

Fast forward to a few days ago....... So I decided to come back to KTC and check things out. I have a VERY strong desire not to dip today. Every time I put a dip in my mouth I feel pleasure but guilt all at the same time. I so badly want to quit. Actually, I can quit. It is easy to do. Ive done it millions of times. My issue is, I can't stop starting again. How do I not start again?

I tried it last night and made it 3 whole hours without a dip. Woke up this morn and decided to go for it and made it one whole hour. Man I seriously need help!!!! Why am I so weak?

Thanks for all the awesome people being here. You all are truly appreciated.

Sure would like to see movement here.  To quite.

Poof!

Yeah, given all the circumstances, was really hoping his quit had legs. Still holding out hope. Radio silence on threads, roll, and PM not encouraging however.

Hello all.

Today was a rough day. Long day traveling most of the day just to turn around and go back home. I feel like crap and stomach is aching beyond belief with some shaking as well.

Back home now. back is aching like mad so I swallowed some much needed medicine and am going to hit the sack early and sleep it off.

Take care all and catch you in the morn for roll!


1 more day!!!

Ray

Nice work posting roll, DJPC -- nothing wrong with trying to get some extra sleep in the early days (and in general). Look forward to seeing you up there again tomorrow, and hopefully you can jump into chat room if you have time. Hang tough.

DJ
There are a shitload of brother and sister quitters that were moved by your story. Keep us updated. I will quit every fucking day with you!

Nice job dj. One day at a time. If you need another contact let me know. You are following a plan, the only plan, that works. Post roll, then be a man of your word. Glad you are here.

Thanks! I appreciate you all being here.

Today was another rough one to say the least. Went back to the doctor and am swallowing 4 more pills today than I was 5 days ago. Brain pills and more back pills. Great combo. I'm trying like hell though. I dam near broke down and at the right moment, I saw one of those quit smoking commercials with the lady that talked real horse and has a hole in her throat and passed away at 53. Needless to say, I changed my mind. The pain and bullshit is worth it to get to spend many more years with my wife and kids. I am not sure if the sick I am feeling now is the mix of pills or the poison exiting me.

By the way, my doctor that I was seeing, left the practice. I got a new lady dr now and she said PLEASE stay quit!!!!! I finally agree with a doctor.

Take care all and I quit with every dam one of you farkers!!!!!!

You, my fellow Monster of Mayhem, are going to be a prime example of 'no matter what, I quit'. You've got plenty of challenges and you chose to throw a solid quit on top of it all. Proud to stand with you every damn day!
