Just passed 24 hours....

[southtexasman]

So here I am on day #9. On the precipace of double digit quit days. The cravings have weakened, the fog has lifted, the irritability....well some things just don't change.

I've seen some suffer. I've heard many complaing. I've seen a few fall off the wagon to be kicked around and then picked up and dusted off and set off down the quit path again.

This site has been a great help thus far. The accountability of posting roll call. The camraderie of your fellow quitees locked in the daily struggle against the forces of tobacco and nicotine.

At times it may seem like I have a long way to go. But then I realize my perspective is all F'd up. I don't have long to go at all, only 24 hours, or maybe 1 hour, or when it gets really hard only 10 secs. Whatever it takes to keep me quit.

Thanks to all of you who I've met thus far. We're gonna keep this mother trucker rolling all the way to infinity....

Until my next post....

another ag here quitting with you!

SoTex,

You got this my friend. I saw you posted up in June. You know what that means right? No poison for you today!! Don't let the fire in your Quit burn out. Celebrate the small victories. You will have them everyday.

Tell us a little more about yourself. How long have you been addicted to Nic? How much did you use daily? Do you like to fish? Favorite NCAA football team? What do you do for a living? Do you like cereal? Where do you stand on gun rights? Ever been in a car accident? Had a threesome? Won a prize of any kind?

....just givin' you some homework to keep your mind busy :)

Hang in there, It's gonna be a wild ride!

Thanks for all the support. First time to quit with a support site like this. I am putting that shit behind me. I'm quitting not so my children will have a dad longer, but so that I will have my children longer. I am quitting not so that my wife will kiss me more, but so that I can kiss my wife more. This quit is all about me and for me.

To answer some of your questions.

I've been dipping for about 23 years or so. Now age 36 it is time to quit this nasty shit.

Started out about 1 can for every 2 or 3 days. Then I went to Aggieland where I learned how to really dip. Moved quickly there to a can to can and a half per day. Graduated and maintained the can per day habit until I finally came to the realization I'm doing myself no favors here, and that it was time to quit.

I like fishing but prefer hunting.

Texas AM is my favorite football team NCAA or otherwise. I live and die by them. Have been doing alot of dieing over the past few years.

Like oatmeal better than cereal.

Firm believer in gun control......thats why I go to the range as often as possible.....tight groupings are my idea of gun control.

So that is just a few, thanks for all the support. I will make it.

sotex, glad you're here. Remember, aggies never fail. Don't let us other aggies down. Just like our hatred of tu, saw the nic bitches horns off every day and you will be a winner.

gig em!

Tex,
You got this man, Just remember it does get easier. Stick with the seeds, gum, mints, or cinnamon sticks. Just keep busy is the main thing just remember once you cheat the timer starts all over. I have been about 38 days not chew and about 4 days no nic from the patch. You can do this first few hours are rough but if you fuck up you will want to kick yourself in the dick. Just think your a grown man and you dont want that shit controlling you your better than that and you will be victorious. Believe in yourself cause we all beleive in you.

Right on brother hang in there. Take it one day at a time.

You can do this Sotex.

Saw you with the June quitters. Glad you're here. Build up that accountability, every day.

Every day there's a new giant to slay, sotex. But each day you're quit, you're stronger.

SoTex,
Welcome to the suck my friend. Embrace these hours and let them serve as a reminder to you that you don't ever want to go through this shit again. Congratulations on your choice to quit like the rest of us. Don't worry the anxiety that you are feeling right now will subside in a few days. All you have to do is keep your word to us that you will not use nicotine in any form for today, that's all you have to worry about, the next 24 hours, or if it helps you out, the next 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, etc. Whatever you have to set your goal to in order to honor your word to us. I am happy to be quit with you, don't let me down and I won't let you down. I noticed you posted roll in June 2011, but you didn't post correctly, I am going to chalk it up to "the fog", but just in case nobody sent you the email or you didn't read the "How to Post Roll Thread", here is the information you need to do it right. Good luck to you, read this site over, post often, let us know what you're going through, post roll, and keep your word. If you need anything we're here for you.

Yes, you're in for a very difficult time now. Stay close to the site, reading every time I had a craving helped me get thru it. Cravings never last longer than a few minutes you just need to grind them out second by second, hour by hour, just worry about today. If you need any help shoot me a PM on this site. Everyone of the vets on here have done it and have proved it can be done. You can do this!

[southtexasman]

Now I'm heading into the darkest hours. The hours where the excitement and gung ho motivation of the quit has worn off long before the cravings and withdrawls have subsided. This is the tough part, these next 48 hours and if I get through to the other side then it should be easier from there on out.
