I'm very happy to see this.

"The moderators and administrators of this site have received numerous complaints regarding negative, destructive, and/or attacking posts made in several of the quit groups. It has never been the intention of anyone involved with this site to censor or govern what can or cannot be posted on this site. However, we now believe some guidelines are necessary to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of this site.

We take the sanctity of the quit group as being something that a quitter should be able to enjoy and utilize. In our three year existance, each individual group has developed its own personality and coping mechanisms. Outside influences, when constructive and supportive, are and have always been welcome and encouraged. Viciously negative, personal attacking, undermining and destructive posts in quit groups, especially groups "above the line" are not needed and will no longer be tolerated.

We will enforce the same standards regarding the chat room. When a violation of the guidelines or rules are discovered or reported, the post or chat log in question will be reviewed and a determination by a majority of the administrators will be made. Enforcement can include anywhere from a written warning, being placed on moderator review for all posts, to being banned from the site and or chat room.

This does not include holding a quitter accountable for keeping their word to others in the group... (ie.. caves), and the forum "Get Your Bitch On" in the wildcard section.

This decision has been reached unanimously by the adminstrators, who work hard at providing a quality quit site for the people who need it. Our expectations are that you will honor this decision and help us maintain this site where anyone can frequent with the highest level of support while enjoying the greatest level of freedom of expression"

I saw this and thought the same thing MJ.

Then, a number of hours later... It was pulled and doesn't exist anymore.

Why?

Hey folks, I'm on day 2.5 and was wondering if anyone has ever lost their appetite from quitting? Been reading a lot about gaining weight but my gut is so knotted up right now I have to force myself to eat. Anyone had this? Maybe I just need to wait it out.

You are in the thick of it now. Stay strong, day by day, even hour by hour. At about your time, I felt horrible all day, headaches, as if I had a mild flue or cold, and nausiated. I don't remember all the details, but I do remember having dinners consisting of oatmeal and fruit. (Helps with the digestion issues.)

CM - agree with stat you are in the thick of it. I could not eat either. I was walking around like a zombie or curled up on the bitch for the first week. Could not eat, could not sleep and could not take a crap to save my life. I remember packing my lip with coffee grounds and just searching for a feeling of normalcy. That was 700 days ago. It gets better bro. Stay the course. You have to fight for freedom right now but it is so worth it.

Fuckin' A. What these guys said. I was completely worthless in the beginning. I couldn't see straight. Everything was blurry, and I have better than 20/20 vision. I also wandered around as if I was drunk, all day. Stumbling, staggering, couldn't complete a coherent sentence.

But it passed. And then there was a clarity that I can't explain, except to say, the freedom I have now was so worth the battle it took to get here. Day 1,726 today. Worth every struggle, and I would never give it up. Quitting is SO worth it! Focus on today. Focus on the NOW.

You can do this. I'm nothing special. If I can, you can.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^2,285 days quit here after being a nic slave for over 30 years!!! If my sorry weak ass can stay quit SO CAN YOU!!!! Best decision you will ever make!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im almost thru day 3 and now Im feeling more confident as well. i still feel like a dip would be really nice but today wasnt as bad as the first 2 days. I would say the hardest thing is my sleeping schedule has got so messed up. having a hard time falling asleep, nightmares, and just not good sleep. then waking up and wanting to dip. its definitely doable u just gotta hang for a while i guess. im sure it will be alot better in a few more days from what i have read. what i find helps are caffiene, alcohol, and exercise. and think dont be tobaccos bitch

Awesome work!! I Knew you could get through it. Keep it up and Stay Strong. Please be careful with the Alcohol though, that can certainly be an addictive substance as well. Do what you need to stay off the dip, but don't let that shit take you over. .....and please, no Drinking and driving!

Planning on quitting next week, I chew Grizzly Wintergreen, any ideas on best non tobacco chew for me?

First question - why wait till next week? What do you think is going to be different next week?

You cold dump your stash out and flush it now...then next week, you will be one week Quit.

How about making your Day 1 happen right now? Now is very powerful.

You will not regret it. Promise.

I agree, Why Wait. that said, you've gotta be ready, and you have to really want it.

I also dipped grizzly wintergreen longcut, and I've been using the smokey mountain Wintergreen. It's not an exact match, but it's close enough that I actually felt a fake "buzz" the first time I put one in on day 4. Honestly, I try to keep it to a minimum, even with the fake stuff, 1 or 2 per day. but even if you have to do it all day long, it's better than going back to grizzly, That bitch has sharp claws. :)
