Get through today and your body is clear of nicotine. It's just mind games after that. Stay strong, stay engaged on this website as much as you need too. Scream, cuss, whatever it takes. Do it here, we understand.

Day 3 guys thanks for all the support. I will def print out that info for my wife. I decided early on that I was going to be 100% open about my addiction and my quit and own it. I've told friends and family that didnt even know I dipped that I quit. I even showed my wife the HOF/milestone coins and told her im dedicated to posting roll and getting mine. My JMC is helping other than that im staying hydrated and staying busy as much as possible. Today and everyday I quit for life and I quit with all of you!
Quit date 2-20-14 and everyday after.

Day two, and I'm feeling okay. Talked to my wife about the difference between quitting tobacco and being nicotine free last night. Told her that I love this site and think that You guys will definitely be there if I need a kick in the pants. Only using my Jakes Mint Chew today, I'm pretty happy but easily irritated so I hope that goes over well today at work. Also has anyone else ever felt like their brain just doesn’t work as well after quitting? Well here goes day 2 of telling Nicotine to  'Finger'
Way to go Cheekbiter on making it through day 1! You are in the right place. You are experiencing what is known here as "The Fog". You can read about what to expect in the welcome center. Brain not working is one of the symptoms. Time dilation will mess with you too. It gets better after 3-5 days but I'm at day 52 and it still hits me periodically. Keep it going one day at a time, post roll and I'll quit with you today!
Cheekbiter,
If you haven't already seen or done this you can chose to share this link with or print and give this to your wife Spousal Support.

It will help her understand a bit more what you are going through and what she may be able to do to help or even tolerate you at times.

Welcome. There is a lot of information on this site. Highly recommend you begin reading everything you can on nicotine/addiction Learn your enemy, it knows you.

YOU screwed your brain for however many years. YOU deprived it of oxygen and gave it contaminated blood by introducing the poison. YOU drove your blood pressure up and caused your brain to rewire. Now your dependent on the poison and your brain is not use to the oxygen it is receiving. Welcome to the suck!

Now, you are finally letting it BEGIN the process of healing. You are finally giving it the oxygen it was suppose to be getting since birth. It if finally receiving the uncontaminated blood it has wanted for years.

Yea, I would say your brain is going to be messed up for a little bit. It will take 3 to 4 weeks for it to begin working right,, i say again,,, BEGIN. One day at a time and you can have back a lot of what the poison has stolen. Never again for any reason and you can keep it. Quit with you today.
Awesome work getting through day 1! Now you know you can get through day 2. Soak up the knowledge here and fight. So worth the struggle. PM me if you need anything or have questions.
In my opinion having your spouse know all about KTC (posting roll, intros, info, etc) is a HUGE step in the right direction. It appears that you are serious about this!!!

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Day 2. Nice Cbiter!

The fog is a part of quitting. I walked around at work in a fog for some time. Don't worry about being in the fog. It will clear.

Make quitting your #1 priority today. Nothing else is as important today.

Quit with you today!

Well honestly I'm just learning that Nicotine Replacement Regimens aren't looked well upon in the quitting community. My plan started by being open with my wife about quitting. With my past quits I never really had anyone to hold me accountable aside from her and when i would cave I would just hide it and lie. (yeah dick move I know) Coming clean with her and asking for her help was #1. Next I did some research American Cancer Society I decided that I would quit primarily with a non-tobacco dip alternative (Jake's Mint Chew) and Nicotine Lozenges as a secondary support. I'm not a fan of using nicotine to kick nicotine but it has helped me a lot with withdraw symptoms. I talked to my wife about the lozenges and told her that I have to be careful not to become dependant on them and that I need to kick them as quick as I can without comprising my quit. Its still not easy but I really feel that this is it. Opinions may vary on my quit date since I'm using Lozenges ( not much really IÂ’ve used 2 today during my peak craving times) but for me today is day 8. I am not using tobacco and that is a quit for me. The Jakes Mint Chew is awesome and helps a ton. So from here my plan is to be off the lozenges in not more than 2 days and I have told all my friends and family to help hold me accountable. Other than that I plan to get through each day and keep communication open with my wife about my quit. Its when I try to do this alone that I fail.
This a NO NICOTINE site. End of discussion. Why this Site Works

drop the lozenges down the toilet then go post roll promising not to use nicotine in any shape fashion or form.

Embrace the suck of quitting and be accountable to yourself and us
Doo the Dooo. Nicotine is a drug. This is a NO NICOTINE site. The nic bitch is just playing your punk ass. Man up drop the nic bitch in the toilet and post roll that you are free from nicotine. I know you can do it, I just dont think that you know it..
