New blog post: Ode To Day 71 - Grumpiness And Anger When Quitting Dip
http://blog.killthecan.org/2013/07/ode- ... tting-dip/

Thought we could use some good news...this is good news indeed:

Tobacco Crops in Ruins Due to Heavy Rain

Yep. Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain.

This is awesome...

And the last line of the story is side-splittingly ironic...

"ItÂ’s been too good to me over the years," he said. "I canÂ’t just up and quit."

Oh man, on day 6 of no chew. I seem to have developed anxiety like no other but I'm headin to the dr tomorrow so hopefully I can some help!

Yo NewGuy, my middle name is anxiety. Smart move going to see the Doc. Nothing wrong with getting a little assist to take the edge off. You're body us in a fight, it doesn't know what the fuck to do, so its flippin out a little bit. You probably feel anxiousz nervous, jumpy, scared, and you chest is probably filled with heat and your heart's beating a light year a minute. Not everyone feels that way, but its not uncommon. I sure the fuck did. Got some anti anxiety meds and they helped tremendously. Hell I'm 408 days quit and still take them. The nic whore punked my ass. Had to learn to live my life without her, do things I had never done without, like be a Dad and a husband. Was tough but I fought her tooth and nail. Happy to report that today I feel like $800,900.00 and things will get better for you.

Create an intro page. Let us get to know you a little bit. Tell your story, the support you will get will be invaluable.

Stay quit.

I'm with diesel, start your intro and don't be afraid or ashamed of the anxiety. There is also a thread in the wildcard section on depression and anxiety, your not alone. Diesel and I may be crazy but by damn we are still quit!!!

Alright, up into those double digits! Day 10 in the books! And i Gotta say it feels great! But i do have a question for anyone out there, as some of you may know im currently deployed and along with that comes already fucked up sleep hours, when the hell am i gonna be able to get a good nights rest. Literally walking up once an hour and its terrible. Its already hard enough as it is, and am gonna try to tackle some Melatonin tonight and see if that helps out. Any other suggestions? At this point anything helps if ya tell me to use a cactus as a pillow id prolly give that a shot too!

Double digits is great, but I bet you dipped for a tad longer than double digits. Am I right? If so, then getting normal will take some time as your brain needs to rewire itself. You'll have to learn everything all over without dip. Like sleeping, driving, showering, shitting, waking up, dealing with stress, etc.

Use the small victories as fuel to keep going. Like food tasting better or better sex (sorry, bad example given your current situation?). The point is, focus on the good things to. It gets better...way better.

Joined this site and my official quit date is gonna be the 11th of this month. Hope im as brave as the rest of you guys :o

Be brave and do it now.

Then you won't have to hope.

(Hint: quitting is about doing. We don't hope here.)

Don't be a slave one minute longer.
Quit today and beat it down!

If you wait until the 11th, when that day comes you will find a reason not to quit and set another date, then another date and another date and never quit! See a pattern here???? Flush the shit NOW and Don't look back!!!

Good advice! Best to dump the shit now and get to quitting. Waiting will not make it easier..

What is so significant about the 11th? You need to gear up? When I quit, I had a quit date to start on a monday. (I wanted to finish my cans) Went into chat and quit right then, flushed it. Best thing I did and it was the right way to do it.

Right when you feel the need to quit, flush it! You don't need to gear up and you don't need to plan. KTC is the plan.

Jump in the cold water. Its cold and it will always be cold no matter what. Just go!

There Is No Tomorrow!

It's the 11th. Are you here?

Tomorrow never came. This is a bad re-run.

You're right, Evil. In my mind these stories are the saddest of all. The lifeboat pulled up beside Graphmo82, threw him a vest and he refused to wear it. Guess he just didn't really want to be saved.

You're gonna drown on you own, my friend.

Brave? 'crackup' most of us were a bunch of pussies the first weeks. But it gets better, promise!

if you were to ask my friends and family, they swore I was preparing for brain surgery. I was a disaster for a solid two weeks.

But the light at the end of the tunnel is there and I have reached 140 days of taking my life back. Like Corey Crawford said about winning the cup... "fucking right, Chicago! Biggest bunch of beauties in the league, fucking worked their nuts off for this trophy! Wooo! No one will ever take this away from us! We're the champs!"



"no one will ever takes this away from us!"

I have finally found time to get my HOF speech in order. Its highly likely that this will end up in it. lol

First day with no nicotine and I think I'm going crazy at work...Geez. Still going to do this though. Bought lots of gum to help me get through the day.

This is going to be the toughest battle yet in my life.

kon, post in roll call..
it is a one day at a time, sometime 30 seconds at a time thing.

No nicotine is a bitch but it is the ONLY way. There are non-nicotine alternatives for the oral stuff.

I had to go on a medication to help with the anxiety. My doc put me on Zoloft about 30 days into my quit.

I do still use the Smoky Mountain herbal dip-(NO tobacco/nicotine), and David's Jumbo Seeds, and Eclipse Wintermint gum.

it gets better.

it takes some time for the nic bitch to quit playing the physical/mental mindfuck.. You have to ride that bitch like a nasty bull and don't let it throw you.. keep your eye on today..

and check in in the Intro section

Really liked your info/story. I'm on day 20, doc also put me on zyban for the anxiety and mood swings. Thanks for the words of wisdom and knowing it will get better.
