Day 37   I think I will be putting out a petition soon to get my name changed to CrusherOfSeeds lol....because I am doing at least a bag of seeds a day.  I have actually been cutting back a bit on the seeds and rarely use the fake stuff.  I think everything has been pretty good...there has been some irritability.  I just have to think real hard about why and what I am getting irritable about.  I have been spending alot of time researching through some of the older HOF quit groups.  Recently has been July 13.  It is interesting to see how some of the old vets went through their days.  I am quit today and everyday one day at a time.

Great stuff here JSJ. There is so much history here on the site. Once you start reading, you will likely start to see the patterns that pop up regularly on KTC. The bad boy group that fights back, the butterflies that have a better way, the late posters, the badass quitters that chase them down. Its kind of like Hollywood: there are no original stories here; we are all addicts with similar mind sets, same drives, same needs and same ways of acting out and seeking attention. If you are on roll, you're doing the right thing. Sending you a pm as well here soon.

Day 33...what can I say..I am committed to my quit  one day at a time.  Recent days have been filled with firsts.  First time bathroom experience with no fake chew or any crutch.  First time road trip no nic...lots of seeds.  First time funeral..(supporting someone else loss).  I feel good...get some intense craves I just fill with seeds.  I still think about dip...I dont understand how anyone that dipped for any amount of time not thinking about it at some point.  The important this is I'm quit one day at a time.  Thanks to my support peeps @sixstring @KD2 @Bigdiesel90 @Keith0617 @jjg009 @Hunter4life @INKcogKNEEdough @chris2alaska and a whole lot of others.

John I got a story to tell you.. one day I was jogging and ran into a peanut store. It was a store full of nuts. They had small nuts, big nuts,and just regular size nuts. Some nuts were heavy, while other nuts were light as a feather. There were hairy nuts, and smooth nuts. But the craziest thing the owner of this nut shop was an elephant....What?? He told me he was a recovering sex addict. He told me that these nuts reminded him of the time he was a bull in a China shop.. there was a story about a bull in a china shop.... meh you know what?... you dont pay me enough to write these stories for you @jsjohnson have a strong quit day today. Give the wife a kiss cheek for me.. I'll talk to you later @jsjohnson gonna visit Narnia in my closet now. Later gator.

@jsjohnson Keep up the good work! I challenged myself and found early on that the crutch only prolongs things, as far as oral fixation. The oral fixation was just as tough as the nicotine withdrawals. But so far, I’ve beat that too, so great news on releasing the crutch. I’ve been doing great as well with your support. I’m proud to be quit with you!!

Day 26  Past couple of days sucked...had a 16 hour shift on friday to saturday.  Mind games are really trying to mess with me.  I have been restless for a few days...it feels like the days are so very long.  I am still hitting the seeds and fake dip (maybe once or twice a day).  It feels good to be free of nicotine, but I get those moments that just hit me...ohh i need a dip.  Then I am like where the hell did that come from.  It passes usually fast or while I'm texting some of my peeps.

Congrats on 26 days! That is huge!! This is how it is done. These feelings are totally normal....it comes in waves....sometimes ripples and sometimes it feels like a tidal wave that will just be too much to deal with....but you will and can....and you come here and scream or chat or text or call... all of those fight through tools you have.....
Keep going. It gets so so so much better!

Day 22  Still feeling pretty good.  It is true over time it gets a little better everyday.  Yesterday my 19 year old son found out that I had been quit for 21 days and was blown away ( he doesnt live with me).  He saw my fake snuff and asked if I had switched to a different dip.  My daughter replies that stuff is not real....dad has not dipped in 3 weeks.  It was good to hear coming from her mouth.  I am still killing the seeds though.  Today was the first day I didn't wake up and go straight for the fake stuff.  In fact it is 520pm and I still havnt put in a fake one.  ONE DAY AT A TIME!

You'll get to a point where you don't need to put anything in your mouth.  Just let it come naturally.

Boy that last statement could really be taken out of context easily

@jsjohnson   something you need to tell us?  Lol
