J dub, it will be constantly on your mind right now, just stick with it and grind out the next couple of weeks. I can gurantee you it will get better, embrace this shitty period and never forget how you feel right now.

Well its day 2. You guys and this forum are helping tremendously. I think about grizzly all day long, but for some reason it doesnt bother me too much right now. Got the seeds, got the gum. What do you think of the Jake brand no tobacco chew ? I cant find the herbal chew where I live so I bought a variety pack of it here.I  read up on Hooch. not a fan of fine cut. Not sure about SMC, I probably should have gotton that.
Used the grizz the last few years myself and a month+ later I still think about it more often then I'd like.

I liked the smokey mtn, didn't care much for the Hooch. Seeds were as good a bet as anything for keeping my mouth busy the first few days. Now when I want a lipper I just grab a tea bag or use some coffee grounds, with tabasco thrown on them to give the burn and make me wanna spit, old habits sticking around I guess. Keep up the good quit!

We got jcook, j-dub and jaygib all lined up here. Any other jays out there that need to join in?
Tried the coffee tonight. messy. but once u get it packed it hits the spot. good advice thanks. and you keep up the good quit too.

Yep, there are people everyday that struggle with quitting ...... but there are also people everyday that win the daily battle with nicotine. You CAN do this ..... don't worry about quitting forever, just quit today. If you can't imagine the whole day, just quit for the next hour, the next 15 minutes, whatever. Do whatever you need to do not to use. You are an addict, treat yourself and this battle as that. Fight this addiction like your life depends on it, because it does. Proud to be quit with you!

Welcome j-dub.

Hope is not in our vocabulary here, nor is try, wish, luck, etc.

Just do.

Hello, I will be 29 this month. I started smoking when I was 17, did that for 8 years, then the rest dipping. I quit for about 6 months last year....was the longest I had gone without tobacco. I used losenges so to this site, I was really only quit for about 2 months.

I "fake quit" before, for the same reasons as I am quitting now. I like my jaw where it is. I also have two kids (4) and (2). I really dont want them growing up with "the dad without a face." sure there are lots of other reasons to quit, and I keep those in mind too. I dont want cancer, dont want to die, or any other health related problems assosiated with snuff

I could not IMAGINE quitting "cold turkey" before I ran across this site. But then, I read and see so many people able to do it everyday. I have 2 close family members that have smoked since they were 16, 17. They are now 71 and 64. I grew up with them saying " I quit smoking today" a million times. It never happened. I think thats why I have such a problem with quitting. Ever since my tiny little ass was in diapers I have seen at least one of those people smoke, and try to quit countless times. Now one of those people, I'm afraid to say, will probably be in serious trouble this year. Doing good now, but he had a scare this past month, and was diagnosed with cancer to his kidney and possibly his lung.

Well here I am.....just day one but I am here. I flushed a whole can this morning at around 5:00am. Sure hope I can kick it and keep kickin it. I just keep sayin to myself, "kill that fuckin can".
