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!
I just had to laugh at at whoever said "72 hours is when the physical cravings subside..." Yeah, right! Day 8 for me and the cravings are so freaking intense its not even funny! I'm on my 3rd box of Girl Scout cookies today. My mouth is "burnt up" from sunflower seeds, I'm dreaming of taking a dip in a room full of crowded people, I'm pissing and shitting like a racehorse, I'm thinking I'm Bi_polar and the dip kind of medicated me -- so I don't know maybe it's all in my head, but it sure feels like a physical craving!  I'm not buying that shit at all -- good thing is I'm a crazy sonofabitch right now, but I'm a still quit crazy sonofabitch!
The nic bitch knows you are serious...and she is having a fit. Way to bring the quit. One day at a time...if not one day, one hour...if not one hour one minute...if not one minute 1 breath.
We have all come out ok on the other side of the suck. Breathe it, taste it, remember it. You never have to do this again.
the 72 hours is the physical withdrawl for when nicotene is in your system (close to fact of being filtered out of your blood)
its all a mind game my friend and use the tools here on the site that we are trying to teach.
And remember that you are strong and that you can do this.
great job and keep up the good work
OK -- I'm a real dick right now so I apologize in advance. Thanks for the encouragment, but i've resigned myself to the fact that its just going to be a daily fucking fight.
I think the "it gets better" is a myth -- kind of like when your a young married man and all you think about is getting laid and your wife's ok with once a week. Everyone tells you, just wait, some day she is going to want it all the time. So you live every day of your life thinking just wait it out it will get better and that day never comes until one day you wake up and she wants it all the time and your too fucking tired! HAHAHA!
I'm just going to take it one day at a time like you guys that have done it before me and if your bulshitting me about it getting better that's better than me dipping.
You sound like a young Diesel. I thought it was a myth too. Read my "Tend Your Garden" story in words of wisdom.
Its all fucking true. If it wasn't I would probably have seeked some dudes out and fitted them for cement shoes. (I'm italian, Sicilian actually)
Like that dumb song says, "you want it all...and you want it NOW". Just like I did. Then when people said it would get better with time I'd think, "when Mother fucker????? Give me a DATE...AND TIME". But they couldn't, nobody can.
That's the part that pissed me off most. I felt like I was being punished (even though I wasn't, I was actually setting myself free) but didn't know the sentence. When I was young I'd get grounded for 3 days, which sucked, but at least I knew in 3 days I'd be "free" again. Hell even when you go to prision they give you a release date .
Quitting chew...nobody can say for sure when you will feel better. I could give you a pretty good estimate of about 70 days, and I know you're not supposed to look ahead, just focus on TODAY, which is very true , but it is human nature to look ahead. Just don't focus on the future...keep your head on TODAY.
If feeling better was a myth , this site would crumble like a house of cards. But it won't because this site is built on fucking massive pillars cemented into concrete cement.
You will feel better...with time. Keep racking up +1's everyday, and when you eventually reach the hof, if you don't feel better...give me your address and I will fly to your house and you can punch me in the throat. Deal?
