Time to hit it again, Dood. Let's do this!
Thanks guys. I woke up a few times last night and thought about dip quite a bit in my dreams. Left the window open last night and woke up with clean cool air flowing in. It was sort of peaceful. I feel much less anxious today. Trying to embrace the process as much as I can. Posted roll first thing up this morning. Still have a bit of a foggy feeling and my head feels like its buzzing intermittently.

You can do this dood. It is a mind fuck but you will do it if you stay strong and stay on this site. Read all of our stories. We are all addicts, just be strong and get numbers from other members in case you need them. It helps. Talk to people about it on here. Keep posting and keep strong. I didn't think I could do it but I'm 90 days clean! It feels great too.

Thanks guys.

I ate a ton of food today and I'm about to go lift at the gym. I've been swilling a lot of water as well. Still not feeling great, and I'm snappy and miserable to be around.
Snappy and miserable here too, hoping it is a short wave.

Your workout should be a good one !!

Quit with you every day bro.

Well not surprisingly, today has sucked so far. After the first seven hours I started to feel a little confused, anxious, and almost sort of high (in a bad way). Chewed a ton of gum today. Had a few moments of desperation mixing in, but all in all I'm doing ok.
First few days are rough, but it gets easier with each day. Best thing you can do is find something to distract your mind. Chew some gum, go for a walk, do some push ups, whatever it takes. Come on here and yell at us; we can handle it. This is the best forum for venting and we know what you're going through.
Nobody said this would be all sunshine and rainbows man.

Freedom earned tastes way better than freedom given. There are times when you will fight harder than you have at anything else in your life, but there will be easy times too. Cherish the good. Plan for the bad. React during the moment.

Drink water. TONS OF WATER. If you're walking past a bathroom without ducking in, drink more. Limit your caffeine as you'll be jumpy enough as it is. Exercise. All of this pushes the poisons from your body. ONce you are clear of nicotine, you can start healing. Once you start healing, your quit becomes more manageable.

Brace yourself. Post roll every morning, and make some friends around here. This place saved my life, and it continues to save my life. Help when you can, and take help and advice graciously. We're all going for the same goal. Individually, we don't have the answers to quit. Collectively, we do.

Keep it up man. I'm watching.
In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

Thanks for the support and words of wisdom. Just walked out to my car and tossed the unopened cans. Was easier than I thought.

Hey, man... Welcome in. This is the right place if you jump all in.

Couple things that might help to start... We don't talk about forever here. It's just too damn filled with anxiety. Today. That's what we can control. Quit for today because sometimes just one day takes everything you have. Other days can be worried about when they get here. Anxiety can ride you hard when you first quit so take forever off the table and... Worry about right now.

You've never actually quit before... You stopped. Briefly. We don't practice here bro... We do. Follow our method and you'll be successful. I guarantee it. Get involved with your quit group and post your promise everyday... I will be clean today. It's that simple. It won't be easy some days but it IS a simple process.

And... Cold turkey?... Badass. That's the way to roll. I did it 714 days ago. No fake helps, nothin'. It was too close to the fire for me too. So... If I, a 25 year 2 can a day junkie, can do it... You can too.
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

Started as a casual Camel Snus user when it first hit the market in 2008. For the past five years or so I have become completely beholden to nicotine. It's something I desperately try and hide from my family and employer. Yet 90% of my day is spent with a pouch hidden in my gum. I burn through around a can and a half a day of the large pouches.

I have quit before up to 2 months or so. This time I'm quitting for me and going cold turkey. I'm not going to use fake pouches like teaza this time. For me it is like playing with fire.

It's been about 30 minutes since I threw a full can away and quit forever. Feeling kind of anxious already, and I keep subconsciously rubbing my tongue against the back of my lower teeth, head is feeling sort of tingly. I've got two unopened cans in my car. On my lunch break I am going to march out there and throw those away too and maybe go buy some gum.

Having done this a few times before I know how bad the next week or so is going to suck. But whatever, let's do this!
