Thank you tjschu and thank you CDK. And yes, I originally thought the same thing when I started my quit. In fact, I was worried about my study performance if you read my first few posts lol. Truth is, I can work through it just fine without it. Fuck the nic bitch! Oh the lies we tell our selves, or that its "too hard to quit."

Great start... 30 days is huge.
We wish at times we were better with tobacco.
Wishing is not realty.
Nicotine has never helped anyone, other than those wanting to die early.
I quit with you today.
Stay strong today.
Young is the best time to quit.

Congrats on the progress. I got to be honest some days in college I thought the only thing getting me through calculus homework was dip, and how lazy of me to let that be my anchor. You are stronger than that!

Day 30 Update:

Up early 5AM here. Going to get a nice breakfast in and study until 12 when my 9 hour shift starts. I feel like every time I come to update here, I have so much to say but it just disappears. Quit is going strong. Posting roll EDD. Had the fog a couple of times last week, but to be honest I could've just been crashing from early morning coffee. Normal feelings of sadness, stress, happiness (maybe more happiness now), and everything in between that nicotine muted.

Maybe its all in my head, but one thing I've noticed is that I can eat a lot more without feeling full, which is weird because I feel like I might be overeating.

Anyways.. time for coffee. Thanks December and everyone for your support.

Congrats on your 30 Einstein! Welcome to your month 2 proud to quit with you today

e=mc, hell I suck at math. I don't suck at quitting the monster like yourself. Keep up the good work. Proud of you!

I used smokey mountain the first few weeks. I was able to find at walmart (the other evil place)then finally bought a can after I hadn't used any SM in a few days. took one plug spit it out within a few minutes it was weird how it made my mouth burn that time. I went the next morning and spiked it in the garbage. Let me say I did use it as a crutch/oral fixation.



Keep up the good work!

Thanks eyehatecope! Are you still using any alternative snuff? I'm working on a trial 5 pack of smokey mountain I ordered. Using it as a crutch/oral fixation as well. Keeps my mouth busy. I think I'm just using it since i have it, and its there. Anythings better than nicotine! We'll see if I decide to buy more when I run out. I do have 2 fat bags of wintergreen/mint life savers I bought week 1 of my quit.

On a side note... I don't consider myself good at math either. In fact, i'm actually legit scared/nervous at how, "not good at math I am." I don't suck thats for sure... But it doesn't come easy to me and I have to work hard for it. Having failed the 1st semester of calc 3 times, and first semester physics 2 times.. I think I finally figured out what I've been doing wrong. I hope this doesn't mean i'm going to be a failure as an engineer.

No longer using alternative. Last can I bought when I got a plug and it made my mouth burn. Keep using it for that oral fixation as long as you need to though. No doubt it's better than the other. And good luck with school bro!

You young'uns and your "electronic music shows"....

Back in my day we had to amuse ourselves with feathers and straw.

I'm glad to quit with you today Einstein and I think we will both have a great Christmas this year. :D

Haha, as if you didn't grow up during Woodstock. I know we got a bunch of old farts on this board. Absolutely kidding.

Christmas will be great I'm sure. I'm glad to be quit with you as well Stranger. I'm fortunate that "the holidays," isn't a trigger for me. I hope its not for you. My coworker mentioned about not being quit because Thanksgiving was coming up, or something along those lines. Is it stress with family? I don't know. I never understood it. I'm just a baby at 22 years old. Of course when the questions start coming from relatives about school.. I guess thats kind of stressful.

Just an open question to anyone cause I'm curious and didn't really understand the rationale (of course its an addict's rationale).

I was joking, I was only 3 years old when Woodstock took place. I bet Johnny Smallberries was at Woodstock so you might need to check with him about that. LOL.

My generation was the 80's and Reagan and low taxes and good times, and we all loved to have a dip in back then.

Triggers, triggers, triggers - I've really been trying to figure out what mine were myself lately.

Before I quit it seemed like I almost always had a dip in my mouth. I wasn't really chewing because of a trigger, I was chewing because I needed every last drop of nicotine that I could get.

At the moment I think I get a trigger when I open my fridge and that can of Copenhagen long cut isn't there like it used to be. Being around anyone using nicotine makes me flinch a little bit too. The key is to remember the promise we made and to keep that promise. B)B

We're addicts, and everything use to be a trigger. Think about it. Now we make a promise daily to our brothers and sisters but more importantly to ourselves. We're doing this daily to live longer, be more acceptable in society, except with our other redneck spitter friends. Don't you love how your family smiles and says I'm so glad you quit that nasty shit! As far as your coworker, until he realizes he's an addict and wants to quit he will be just like we once were, always had an excuse to use and never a good enough one to quit! Damn proud of you Einstein, never go back to a user! 38 year slave, never had a normal life. Life's great! Quit on!
