Your hitting what is commonly known as the two week weakness- it'll pass.

Suck it up. This is the price you have to pay to earn your freedom
"CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit. After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco."

Skoal, did you want the support of thousands of brothers, or were you just having a bad day, posted and ran? Love to have you join , 2 weeks by yourself is bad ass, but having the support makes it that much easier.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

After eight years working myself up to an easy can and a half a day I quit just over two weeks ago. Ive experienced the sleepless nights, the irritability, the depression and worst of all, horrendous fog. Today I'm feeling the urge to just go ahead and throw in a pinch--just undo everything I've resisted to this point. Too many triggers today made me feel like I just quit ten min ago. Just looking for the strength...
Man I want you to know, it gets sooooooooo much easier and soooooooo much better. Everyday I think about the folks in my group that caved and never had the opportunity to taste the freedom I enjoy today. I wish they had continued to post those day ones. Hang in there. This is the good fight. You can do it. PM me if you need another contact.

You've gotten through the hardest part! Don't give up now. Quit one day at a time and let tomorrow worry about tomorrow. Nice job and I'll quit with you today!

You've got a major leg up right now, you're over the physical hump and joining us now will give you the motivation to keep powering through. Come post roll, we can always use another strong quitter to whip this thing

Very creative name!

9 days of suck that you won't ever have to relive. Unless you start over. Then you can relive them again and again and again. Talk about suck.

Have you posted roll? This plan is really simple. You put your name on a list as soon as your eyelids open up, and that post is your promise to yourself and everyone on this site that you will not use nicotine today. If you are a man of your word, you will keep your word for a day. I mean, you are a bad ass... Right? You can do anything for a day. We don't regret yesterday or think about tomorrow. We quit for today.

This plan works when nothing else does. Once you get to know some brothers on this site, you will find the thought of letting them down almost incomprehensible. You can do this. And you don't want that shit in your mouth. Slam your balls in a desk drawer a few times and the crave will pass.

You've got this bud... One day at a time.

Well, that would be a monumentally bad idea. You've been quit for two weeks. You've got this for the rest of the day at least.

Even though it's late, go post roll. That's your absolute promise to us that you are quit today - all day - and it is our promise to you that we are quit right along with you.

Hang tight and PM me if you need digits.
