Hey you! Yes you.....the new guy.

This is just a play room - the good stuff is in the member only section. Join the site (it's free) and check out the quit groups. If you quit today you will be a member of the July quit group. Those guys are going through the same crap as you. Get support and lend a hand as a member.

A crave is NOT an instruction to dip. It will pass if you let it. No one needs to chew to go on living.

Hey HuskyFree! Congrats on reaching 69 days quit. That's an awesome accomplishment. You should come around more often, get to know some brothers on here and become involved. Remember, if you ever need anything we are here to help. Just say the word.

Hey Thanks a bunch guys. I don't have much time to be on line but I'll be around as much I can.
I am thankful these days to also have local support from my current girlfriend and friends.

I have to say it is a MAJOR relationship advancement for me to come clean with my girlfriend about chewing tobacco and quiting after hiding it for the first year we dated. She supports me fully and is understanding how powerful this addiction is.
Especially since there is only a 5-10% success rate for people quitting nicotine cold turkey.

Everyone here who is doing this should take a moment right now and fully feel how YOU HAVE BEATEN THE ODDS hands down!

This is definitely one of the most amazing things we can ever accomplish in our life, and I know that this wasn't even on our list of intentions (to get hooked on nicotine).... so just think about the next time we set our sights and goals on something?? We'll fully blow the doors off of any challenge that comes our way!

Right on brother!

Hi happy hump day quitters. JJ

Gooood Morning Quitters!!!

I just have to say in my experience that chewing tobacco was one of THE MOST committed things that I did in my life... as sick and twisted as it was. I have not had a job, girlfriend, hobby, sport, or career for as long and/or on a regular basis as I chewed tobacco.

Giving up tobacco was basically reinventing myself, and re-orienting myself to the "real" me.

I had a bad breakup with a girlfriend a couple of years ago and it took me a SOLID 6 months to get back to normal.

Tobacco was way more a part of my life ( in terms of spirit, crutch, pick me up, slow me down, feed me/ skip meals, chemical addiction, etc. ) than my girlfriend was .... I can promise you that I am going to be taking this breakup/ quit seriously and 6 months will be just the beginning not the end.

I have read a lot about the first 10 days, 2 weeks etc. and it kinda screwed me up a little because after 30 days, 40 days.... I was still deep in the dark trenches. That is when I thought about the girlfriend breakup analogy and it has worked.

There were many times where the only thing I could do is sit in a chair, stair at the floor and sip water for extended periods of time... and that was like running a marathon and coming in first place!

I'm 69 days quit today and it has been the journey of a lifetime.

Thanks to everyone this community!

you know what..I am getting pissed about this shit. I am posting shit in July and I have a lot of questions about getting off this shit for good. I have had a lot of days where I was a nats ass from caving. I am yet to receive any kind of support here.
Do I need to donate some$ before someone tells me why the fuck I feel so jacked after being off the shit for 11 days?
Is everyone hiding or am I at the wrong forum or what?
I want to kill something right now. I want to smash a rock with my head. I'm feeling all fucked up from not chewing and hoped I would find someone who can relate here. Do anyone of you know or have felt this way?

I'm right there with you man. I'm at day 28 and I can tell you the first half sucked bad.

You have made a great accomplishment getting to where you are.

I have been using lipton cold brew iced tea bags, but I am now winding down on that...no need anymore.

You have to re-learn how to live your life without this crap, dont forget that. And it is a battle against anger and depression during this lesson.

Good luck. Don't give up.
