Was for me too, but I'm learning that I can do everything, as well, if not better without the chew. Quit on!

Took the family on a 2 1/2 hour trip today. The way to Verona was fine, but the road home was a little rough. First long drive after quitting but I survived without nicotine.
You're winning man! Driving is a HUGE trigger for almost every quitter and you tackled that and made it your bitch...great job!
Boy I sure could use a beer right about now!

So, day 4 and I am feeling pretty good to be honest. I think about nicotine here and there, but it doesn't shut me down or anything. I am actually a little concerned that I am not feeling worse than I do... Is this normal or am I about to get pummelled again like when I dropped the can three weeks ago?
You are going to get urges, cravings and weird blah feelings in about 2.5 weeks. But you will not get pummeled because you have the tools to fight the nic bitch off.

Stay close, keep your guard up and make sure that you have the phone numbers of fellow quitters for support because you will need them.

Every quit is different. I had that same feeling at day 5 or 6. I thought man I am in for it and I felt guilty that others were suffering more. I am at 24 days now and it has been surprisingly smooth since day 5 or 6.

Don't worry about other peoples horror stories just quit odaat for yourself!

Quitting with you today

Glad to have you with us. No doubt, this is one of the hardest things you'll ever set your mind to. But it's worth it. Embrace the suck.

Reach out to people here and exchange some phone numbers. It'll help to be able to text someone who knows how much it sucks when you get a craving.

Get involved here. Encourage others in their quit; you'll certainly receive as much support and encouragement as you need.

This forum is only as helpful as you allow it to be. Keep your head up and keep pushing on. You've got plenty of people in your corner now.

You're doing everything right. Cold Turkey is the only way to do it  embrace The Suck. It does get better.

You'll get a bunch advice here but the 2 best pieces are:

1. Post roll with July every day as soon as you get up. Don't take a piss, don't scratch your nuts. Post roll first. Then you've made your promise  can't trip and fall and have a dip pop in your lip on your way to the shitter.

2. Get involved. Especially this early, go to the chat  get to know the guys. Get to know the guys in your group. You're all going to be raging shit heads for awhile, take it out on each other rather than your family.

3. Give yourself permission to put anything you want or crave into your piehole as long as it's not NICOTINE. I went through swedish fish, jaw breakers, jerky. I still use fake dip, especially on the golf course. It just helps  it won't kill you.

4. Drink a fuck ton of water  lay off the booze, unless you're at home  have absolutely ZERO access to dip or cigarettes.

Ok, there's more than 2......
This ^^^

Great intro....welcome to the club. Quit On!
