Thanks Griz. It sucked at the moment but I was actually happy that I wasn't even tempted to buy the real stuff. Kind of proved my quit to myself. No turning back. I can't let myself or my Sultans down like that.
Res17Cue,

You rock....Sultan pride, brother...

Quote from: RES17CUE
I woke up today and realized its day freaking 7! A whole week! That is something I thought would surely kill me before after all, nicotine made my brain think if die without the poison. Fucking dip.

On another note I feel pretty good. Waking up super early and eating like an Ethiopian at a Golden Corral, but I'm good. I went into my usual gas station yesterday to get a water (quit drinking energy drinks too, also day 7) and the cashier grabbed a can of Skoal Extra Mint and had it waiting on the counter. Fuck. I guess I was just that fucking predictable for that many years. Told her that I quit and she looked offended. I guess I was singlehandedly keeping their tobacco margins up. Whatever. Fuck them and their wall of worm dirt.

I'm on day 7. A whole week. I'm fucking proud of myself
Rescue, no joke on the dip purchases, my local gas station always stocked logs for me beneath the counter (small town here), and if I didn't stop in for awhile the clerk would ask me why, and should they be stocking Skoal Cherry as much. We were cratures of habit and slaves, and I'm damn proud to be quit with you today.
Great job on 1 week

keep it up, I like where this looks like its going
At this point in your quit, and with the number of lawyers on this site, I'm thinking you could get the charges dropped if you jumped the counter and tipped the wall of death over then stripped naked and ran out of there like a nude maniac.

Way to fight brother!

Solid intro Rescue - hit up roll twice before posting your intro, journaling the quit, accumulating numbers - pretty sure you're starting to quit like fuck. Do yourself a favor and think back to what you said in that intro - looking down at a dying soul only to throw in a dip as you ride back to the station. Whatever that face, that motivation. Use it. Moreover, post roll every day; be a man of your word and keep promising.

A quitter is only as good as the quality of his promise. Accountability, brotherhood - pillars that help hold up that promise - but it is you and your promise that will make you quit and keep you quit.

Another day down. For some reason I got pretty foggy today. Time flew by. I'm on duty and I feel like I just got here but I've been on shift since 0700. Little weird but feeling good.

Big, you a FF as well?

Well I would love to give you some Monumental piece of advice but everyone else has already covered most everything. I will tell you that everyday it gets a little easier...for me anyhow. There will be occasional bad cravings and the dip dreams. As long as you stay tight to this website and to your brothers and sisters here then you have the tools you need to beat it. KTC is like your HALLIGAN TOOL against the nic. You always keep it close because it will save your ass. I am gonna shoot you a pm with my number in it. Feel free to get ahold of me my SULTAN brother!

Thank y'all for the support. I have to say, it feels good not to be a slave to a can of worm dirt. And this smokey mountain tastes freaking great. Almost like the real thing. It's destroying my cravings. Sultan Strong. QLF
res17cue, as you've already noticed, you're not alone here. You're not doing it by yourself. Your anger has a place: right here on the pages of KTC. Get angry at me. Get angry at others on this site. Get angry at yourself. Most of all, get angry at nicotine. Do it. Let it out. No holds barred here. Pain. Suffering. You can strangle nic to the death here and no ref will come in and call the fight.

Embrace your suffering.
One day at a time brother....you are doing just fine!!! It gets better....healing will continue!
