I'm staying strong but tonight has been the hardest night yet.  I've got my wife yelling at me about spending more money on non tobacco products than I was when I was using.  Do you want me to quit?  Shes also complaining about how I'm acting different and crap.  Maybe it's all just me and my cravings but dang.  Tired but hanging in there.
Have her check out the section for spouses. Come on here to vent, try not to be ugly to her. We can take it so give it to us. I sent you my number, expect you'll use it brother.
You are doing great man. This bullshit is all normal. I know exactly how your feeling right now. Just put your head down an plow through this shit. It will get better man. Happy Thanksgiving.

Great job on the role post yesterday and i'm glad your mind is in the right place.  Post up early every day.  You'll be surprised at how much posting roll will help you.  You can keep your word for a day right?  Find you some individuals in your group and outside your group to exchange numbers with.  Everyone here knows what your going through and can help.  Accountability is key! 

You can pm anyone by clicking on the individuals name.  You will see a block that says send personal message.  There is also an inbox on your top right.  Right now you'll see that there is a message there.  Inbox (1). That will be because there is a message there from me.  Check it out.  Call or text anytime. 

Spend all your extra time reading my friend.  Learn your enemy.  I'm thinking your a teacher of some sort.  Maybe you already know all there is to know about nicotine and addiction.  If you don't now would be a great time to find out why, who, what, when and where about nicotine.  There is a lot of information on this site and others.  I always say learn your enemy,,  You can bet it knows you!

Your making your way to a door my friend.  This door is hard to get to and open.  I can't tell you how long it will take to get to this door, but I can promise you'll get there and like what's behind it.  Keep your head pointed forward, settle in and make your way to the door one day at a time.  Glad to be quit with you.
At this point, my triggers keep giving me flashes of "hope" (hope is a lie but that's what my brain tells my body). When I'm faced with a situation that I would ordinarily use in, I have this super brief but super strong craving that can seriously affect my mood and attitude for a little while. My brain says, "Yes, it's dip time" and I keep having to tell myself "No, never again." Today has been the hardest but I know it won't happen today because I posted roll. Will post roll again as soon as I wake up in the morning.

Atomic Fireballs have been helping and I've been destroying seeds.
Replace "never, again" with "not today". Forever can be a long time brother. Post your roll early, keep your word.....god willing you wake up tomorrow, repeat. Don't get ahead of yourself each day is battle enough for most of us. Keep it up, PM me if I can be of service.
Read Syndrome's intro for an in depth look at using fireballs to quit. Start from the beginning. Do whatever it takes to quit like fuck. No excuses, ever.

I'm liking what i see here bro. Building accountability, posting roll, reading and learning about the poison. It is apparent you mean business. Good things coming, stick with the plan. Keep moving forward, nothing back there but a filthy disgusting can of poison. Glad to be quit with you.

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.

4 days means you can make it to 5. Listen to jlud, he knows how to quit my friend. Your doing it because your determination and drive is winning. Great job. Failure is not an option at this point. Post roll and keep your word. Its going to get easier and its so worth it. I'm quit with you today.
Nice job bro. Keep battling. Focus on today and do what it takes to stay quit. When a crave hits use your tools to get your mind going in another direction. You are going to have to fight today. It will get better over time but for now... Relax, embrace the suck and stay quit today by whatever means necessary.

Thanks for all the support everyone! Day 4 today and I keep pounding the seeds like I never have. Technically, I guess the nicotine is out of my system but I know the fight has just begun! Good to be quit today.
"4 days is something to be proud of. The nic is out of your system so it's all fun and games now...right? Well F...guess what? Your body is use to living with nic and now it's mad and is about to really fight you.

The good news is that you understand how to use your tools and you have some good fight in you. The better news is that it gets so much easier very quickly. Now, I realize that "quickly" is a very relative term- as when you are suffering minute to minute, 5 or 6 weeks seem like 100 years. In reality, 5 or 6 weeks is not a very long time.
Oh little worm-dirt...you are so scary...F' OFF...!!!

The thing that's worked for me is fake chew. Theres tons of choices and plenty of info on it in the KTC website.

Check out the SMOKELESS ALTERNATIVES section.

I've been using the Bacc-Off. The cut is a little fine for what I'm used to, so I also have some Smokey Mountain Snuff on the way. I just order the stuff online but I've seen on the site that you can cruise right into Walmart and pick it up there too.

The biggest thing for me is that when a craving hits I get to go through all the motions of having a dip. It's actually not half bad and for the first couple of cans of the fake stuff that I used, it almost was like I was tricking my brain b/c the fake stuff TOTALLY satisfied the craving. Not quite as much now, but the cravings aren't quite as harsh as they were the first two days for me.

I've also noticed that I use almost the exact amount of fake chew as I did the regular stuff. Kind of interesting. We're such creatures of habit. Anyways... it may not work for you, but I don't know what I'd do without the stuff for right now. Eventually I plan to switch to seeds/lifesavers or something but right now... it's the only way :ph43r:

I just started this ride as well a few days ago. It's tough for sure, lots of gum, seeds, fake dip, jolly ranchers or whatever you need. I am on day 5 now and it does get better but I know I have a long ways to go. I don't try and worry about tomorrow, I worry about the day I am in.

I quit with you today!
