This is the longest I've gone in the last 6 years without a dip. Stressed out, but I'm owning this quit. Sitting in the library right now searching for jobs. Have had a few emails back so far, and hoping that by this time next week I can be employed.

As Sco said, I know it's my addiction talking trying to get me to go buy a tin. I'm not going to give into the shitty urge.

I'm not just here for myself, but for everybody else. I've got this and will own it.

Take this by hour/minute/second if I have to just so I can make it to the end of the day.

My advise:

Live for today!

There are 2 days in every week you can't worry about, and that's yesterday  tomorrow....you can't change what happened yesterday and you can't control what will happen tomorrow.

I'm so stressed out... I can't afford a new tin, otherwise I would have bought one when I woke up.

Sigh.

You posted your day 2. Awesome.

Ok, I am not judging you. I am just going to lay it out to you straight and honest. Your text is huge, huge addict talk. I should know, I am a drug addict. I am not surprised that on day 2 of your nicotine withdrawal you are stressed out. I am not surprised that when a sucky situation presented it self you are thinking. Damn, if I only had a dip. ADDICT. ADDICT. ADDICT. Coping with stress by ingesting nicotine. ADDICT. ADDICT. ADDICT.

I want you to do three things.

1. Read your ass off today. Hall of Fame speeches, words of wisdom and start with your group from the beginning. New groups are funny as hell. Notice that others that were on day 2 were fucking crazy? Yea, they are ADDICTS too.

2. If you have nothing to do today when you are not reading hang close the introductions. When new folks come in welcome them. Tell them you are on day two and become their quit buddy.

3. I want you to get a quit Sherpa. When you read, if you find someone that you kinda "get" send them a PM and ask for their number. Hell, you can ask me for my number.

I get it that things suck for you. Turn this into a great moment. The moment when things sucked but you rose above your circumstances and kicked the nic bitch to the gutter. You can do this. I know you can. I am not sure you know you can though. So lets review.

YOU DO HAVE A JOB TODAY:

Read
Greet and Serve
Quit Sherpa.

Now, go kick some ass. Be a pilot and fly this fucking plane.

Don't feel like making a new thread, so maybe somebody will check this one out again.
I'm so stressed out. I moved to a new area for a job that I was 100% sure I had even though I hadn't signed a contract yet or anything. Spent just about all my money getting myself here. My future boss got a DUI, and I think I'm out of a job again. I have a few interviews today. But it's not looking good for me. Maybe that's just my negative thinking. These jobs, should I get one, will at least provide money, and that's what I need right now.
This is the third time my potential dream job(really want to to fly in the Navy) will have fallen through for me. It's my second day quit, and good thing I can't afford a new tin, otherwise I would have bought one when I woke up.

Sigh.

You just have to think positive! Dip won't make any of life's problems easier! Just keep keep plugging away at the jobs and one will open up for ya! If you need to kill some time get onto the live chat section here.......I used it alot my first 5 days!

If the mornings are tough for you then I'd suggest posting your roll first thing after you wake up. That's your promise and that's also what will carry you to freedom.

Glad to have you here. Check your inbox.

[seagems]

Thanks a lot, Sco. I have a feeling the mornings are going to suck the most. Right when I wake up, I put one in. I'll be here tomorrow though.

Congrats Timeless, you can do this. A lot of people will say Embrace the Suck. They are right. The first few days will suck, but what are a few days? After that, the days start accumulating and you will beat this shit. Every one of us were completely hooked on nic and every one of us had the same reservations that you do. If we can do this, you can do this. You don't want this shit to rule your life and one day end it. You have already made the toughest step, now you can just start piling up the days. One day at a time, you can do this. Stay on this site a lot. My first 3 weeks I was on here constantly, it really helps to be with people who understand what you are going through. I am proud to quit with you.

It may. You never have to do this again. Embrace the suck. Trust me, it is well worth it.

I finished my tin this morning actually. So I haven't had a dip since I got to work. I don't have an issue with it while I'm actually doing something. But I know once I get home in a bit, I'm going to want to dip bad.

I've told myself numerous times I'm done. I've dumped my tins out, only to go buy another one an hour later. I've told myself I'm only going to do it when driving, or doing this, or doing that, and it never works. I don't like to do it around people anymore as I feel it's just dirty. I put one and most of the time 10 minutes later I feel like I'm going to be sick by the taste.

It may seem like I'm not done just because I said I still like it, but I know what I want, and dip is not it. The plans I have for my life, I would like it to be dip free.

If it doesn't seem like I want to quit with what I've written than I don't know what to tell you. A few weeks ago, I never thought I could bring myself to sign up for a site like this. Thought I could do it on my own. But as time passed, I realized I couldn't since I turned around and bought a tin whenever I'd go a day or so.

Starting tomorrow, I want to be nicotine free. I'll be here every damn hour if I have to talking to somebody to get me past wanting to go buy a tin and live life where I never think about it again.

Thank you for the responses.

Post your day 1 right now. You can post day 2 tomorrow.

Post it in my signature box like I did?

Reread the welcome link. I think I gave it to you but it is the salmon link at the top of the page. You will post roll in December 2011 group in the quit groups section of our site. Love to have you here!

Nice day 1. Congrats. pm me if you need any help! You can count on me.

Yes, welcome indeed. It doesn't sound like you are quit from your intro post, maybe you can clarify. Have you flushed ALL your horse turd? Read what Sco posted below, dump your crap (all of it) and then go post day 1. Go into LIVE CHAT (upper right) for some great advice, motivation, or distraction, depending on your mood. Above all else, let's get your quit going. When have zero nicotine in ANY form (no patches, gum, or pills) then come. Join our group of fellow quitters. You promise every day and we will walk with you. I did it 96 days ago. I'm at the airport right now hammering this out on my phone. Normally I'd be freaking out because I just dumped my can inthe trash because I didn't want some TSA agent to pull it out and have my family find out I dip. It's sick. Instead I'm sitting here, enjoying the sweet taste of freedom. I don't need to go hide inthe corner for a feeding. It can be done there are thousands here that have done it. Are doing it. Join us, we're happy to have you.

Denny
