My doctor and I decided against any medications at this time. I am good with that.

Big hurdle cleared yesterday - yard work. I loved nothing more than a big dip while mowing, pulling weeds, etc. I worked all day and did fine. I think I was probably too tired and hot to want tobacco.

game,
Way to go game! I know what you mean! Yard work was a trigger for me too! Now, I just throw some seeds in my mouth before heading out to do yard work! Stay strong brother it gets better!

Stay close make your promise and keep it, simple! Yea it can be simple with everyone pulling the same direction!

Wedgie and all,

Thank you for your encouragement.  I joined several days ago and have read a lot.  I know I need to continue.  I decided to post because today sucked, and simply reading was not the same as interacting with others and the accountability factor was not there.  I have several friends that dip but do not have the balls to quit like I do, so here I am. 

I have mentioned more than once that today was harder than others, and the main reason for that was the anxiety.  I dealt with headaches, cravings, irritability, sleeplessness, etc. in the first few days and did fine.  The anxiety has been bad, but  today is really rough.  I have read that others have battled this and gotten through it.  I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow for an annual checkup.  I want to talk to him about this but am a little hesitant about meds, but almost think I need a little help.

Have you tried exercise? Ive read guys with mild anxiety have been able to blow it out with exercise. Ive been exercising and it does help. Anxiety hit me hard. By all means bring it up to your doctor. I HATE taking pills too but this quitting thing is hard enough without anxiety bitch slapping you. My doc put me on some anti anxiety meds. Still trying to get the doseage right but they help. Not every pill is habbit forming where u will have to take it for ever. No shame in getting something to take the edge off. Keep up the good fight and good luck at the doctors.

BB you are in good hands if you listen to the info you have been given!! Check your inbox I'll tell you my story

bb,

You have several gentleman who are extending out their hands to help you across the fence, and now you have mine. You sound serious about your quit. I hope that you are. Use the tools that this site provides, use the guts deep within your soul, and you will win the battle each day against our common enemy.

There is no forever. There is no next year. There is no tomorrow. There is only today. You beat her today. You posted roll, you keep that promise. You post roll first thing tomorrow, you keep that promise. Being quit is winning the day, each and every day. Just know that I, along with everyone else who posts on this site, will be standing beside you fighting the same battle.

Read, ask, participate, read, suggest, notice, read, read, and read. Knowledge is power.

Thanks guys.

I am serious about it and want to end it for good.  No caves, no excuses, no regrets.

Can someone please go to the October 2012 quit group and see if i did roll call correctly?

You posted your promise. Now keep your word and get up and post roll first thing tomorrow to take nicotine off the table again. Reach out if you need anything.

Keep reading.

Looks like you posted right, but right or wrong Its the promise behind it to stay nicotene free,

I'll quit with you too each and every day (on day 14 now looking to the HOF 100 and beyond).

Welcome to best decision of your life. Hopefully you realize it as such.

Read EVERYTHING in the link gmann gave you. It's gold. Learn what this place is, and what it is not. Know what it means to post roll with a bunch of quitters that count on each other.

You may not always get the support you "want". But you will get the support you need here, and then some. This place will keep you quit, if you let it.

You are winning today, brother. I'll quit with you today. Contact me if you I can help with anything.

[G]

Welcome. Go H E R E and read.

That is the WELCOME CENTER link you see above. Learn about why we post roll and go post that kick ass day 6 in the October 2012 quit group. You're in October because you'll hit the Hall of Fame (100 days) in October. After posting roll, keep reading all you can on this site.

Your story is no different than anyone else's here. We're all just addicts and can never, ever put nicotine in our body again. Just one leads back to a can a day and all the lying to yourself and your family.

Yell if you have any questions. Good to have you here.

I am 36 and have been dipping for 18 years Quit once pretty easily in 2008 and stayed quit for 4 months. Decided, like many, that I could do it "on occasion" and started back full time worse than before. Mostly a ninja dipper too which is stupid. I wasted so much time, energy and money that it is embarrassing. I have a 5 year old daughter and 10 month old son. I know boys are more likely to start this filthy habit so I want to quit before he is old enough to figure out what I am doing and think it is "cool". He might still start when he is older, but it damn sure won't be because he saw me do it.

I am off to a good start. First day was rough. Days 2-5 weren't bad. Today really sucks, which brings me here.

So here I am. Now what?
