My 1st Day w/out Chew

[jhaenel23]

Day 5 man; we are on the same schedule so I'm feeling what you are right now.  The thing helping me focus is the power of this monumental decision to quit being way bigger than the habit; know what I mean?  WE are quitting because WE decided it was so.

That helps me more than anything. 

PM me if you want to!

I hear ya! Day three started out so much easier than 1 and 2, but the fog has settled in thick recently. Just finished a breakfast burrito about an hour ago, and for the last hour, I just can't concentrate on anything without the thought of wanting a chew, poppin up in my head. I just try to keep the control and shoot the some-bitch outta my mind

'Remshot'

I appreciate you having my back during this quit. Feel free to PM me if you need anything, as well!

Thanks Brothers

Congrats on Day 3. Day 3 sucks. Sucks bad. And for your sake, LOOT hopes this is the worst day in recent memory because if it is, you'll never forget it. You forget, you die at the hands of an active addiction.

Think about it.

Welcome to the site.

Never forget the SUCK!!! It is a the most valuable weapon you will have against the Nic......Remembering these days and how shitty it made you feel! Good days are ahead but EMBRACE THE SUCK!!

Keep on Quitter!!

You are 100% correct, this DECISON, not only affects me, it affects, my family and my friends. Sure, they gotta deal with a cranky me for a few days, but they get to spend more hours, days, and years with me because I chose to kick a cancer ridden demon nic bitch outta my life!

you no some prolly say my famly got the short end a the stick on that...

[Jdalrymple]

For me, Days 1-5 were the toughest, day 6 and 7 were starting to get better. I think it was around day 9 that I was actually able to concentrate on anything.

I still have foggy moments, but they are just that, moments. Most of the time I feel normal (or as normal as I can).

[jhawth25]

Go back and read the Tom and Jenny Kern story in the Words of Wisdom section. Days two and three were the hardest for me. I finally read that story and others posted in that section and it reminded me of why I can never go back. Day 4 and thus far through day 5 have been a walk in the park compared to those two days, and the real-life stories have made my dedication and commitment stronger. If I get a crave, I go back and read those journal entries. This shit's bigger than you, it's not just your life on the line.

We got this.

Those stories are legit. I read them before posting repsonses on here. You are 100% correct, this DECISON, not only affects me, it affects, my family and my friends. Sure, they gotta deal with a cranky me for a few days, but they get to spend more hours, days, and years with me because I chose to kick a cancer ridden demon nic bitch outta my life!

Continue to stay strong in your fight brother, as I will mine. It's my promise to all of you that I will stay true to the QUIT!

Short tempered, lack of focus, all I can think about is that damn can.  I hear 72 hours is when the physical cravings subside....Any adivce?!?  I'm goin nuts over here!

Go work out, work out hard. Drink a shit ton of water. You will get through this, I'll quit with you today.

Hang in there bud. Im on day 4 and it does get better. I constanlty chew gum and it seems to help quite a bit. If things get too bad for me, I just put in a pinch of the fake shit (Smokey Mountain). It helps. WalMart carries it, if you want to give it a try. Stay Strong!

That's some good advice. I have been ripping through gum pretty damn fast too! It does help, for sure! I am trying to stay away from the "fake" cans...it's so close to real, that it just makes me go out and buy the real shit.

I heard after Day 3 it gets a lot easier...how is day 4 compared to the last 72hours in your world?

In my opinion day 4 is much much better. Yesterday was pretty tough for me, as I imagined it has been for everyone else who's gone through it. I get the feeling that the nicotine knows that its on its way out and tries to give you one more good push to get back on the wagon, but piss on that. Just look forward knowing that each day will get better and better. I take the words of those who have been doing this so much longer than myself, and each day I find that they are right. I know deep down, that I don't want to disappoint myself, my wife and family and all my brothers on here, so everyday its post roll and promise myself and everyone else to stay quit! If you didn't want to do it, you wouldn't be here either. Hang in there bud.

Remember this! So you never go back. It does get better, I promise, there are a lot of ups and downs in the first few weeks. Just stay strong. If you need to rage, rage here, we can take it. Or come into chat and get it out there. Just dont cave. Dont give that bitch the time of fucking day!! Good on you for posting about it. Lets people know you're in need. We are here for you. PM me if there is anything I can do for you.

I'm here to help as well. Feel free to shoot me a text or call me. My number has been pmed to you. Any time. Day or night.

Thank all of you! I couldn't have pulled through this day the way I have without y'all. Thanks for the support, brothers!

72 hours is the amount of time for the chemical to get out of your body. Quitting is like a roller coaster ride, you will have highs, lows, fast changes, slow changes and its like being blind folded for the ride you never really know what's coming up next. I'm going to tell you from my limited experience the ride begins flattening out. The swings get less dramatic, every now and then there is a steep climb that drags on but make sure that you check that seat belt is buckled (you've posted roll). You never know what's coming. Just Be Prepared!

hay man it gets eezyer. some guys take a week or so. rememember this shitty feelin. rememember its that nic bitch what did that to you. you do not want to forget this. and you do not want any part a the bitch what made you feel like this. well may be to give her a drop kick rite in the croch.

[jhawth25]

yeah, go into chat and tell those jack wagons to make you laugh.

I remember the battle became fun when I would drop my jaw at some of the conversations in there.

Tell them you need to laugh. Someone will step up to the plate.


Dag use to get me laughing when he would post. "No nic, just dick."

My friend stay away from the can, avoid it and survive. I know you can do this but you need to see the joy in the quit too.

The pain won't last forever. It gets easier because you will become stronger. Right now, you aren't that strong. Get into chat and get help.

If you can't focus veg out in chat. They will keep you strong and always seemed to know what to say and what I needed at the time.

I am cheering for you. You can fight through this today. Keep your word.

Imagine what your life would be like if you had two penis' and one ball. That should get you thinking.

For me, I try to figure out the placement. Ball on bottom, penis' side by side or piggy back. I thought about that for hours and forgot about the crave.

I think I would do just fine with two penis'. I would nick name them tweedle de and tweedle dumb.

Look up these books, "Population Growth in Hawaii" By Comon Iwana Layu
"She isn't a virgin" By Buster Hymen
"Russian Habits" By Ivan Yakenoff

hahahahahahaha. You're right about the laughing. That post got me chucklin a bit! I appreciate that feedback. Looks like I am gonna go hang out in the chat and see if they'll distract me for a while.

Thanks for having my back, man! Great to know that everyone here is dedicated to the quit!
