I found this article very helpful for understanding myself with dealing with nicotine.  http://www.killthecan.org/robs/holic.asp

I found it very interesting from this article that when I am in a stressful situation my body makes my urine acidic, which results in the nicotine in my body leaving my body faster.  All in all, this results in me thinking that putting a dip in will solve my problem of dealing with the stress but it is just dealing with the addiction.

Day 2 - no tobacco.  Had quite a few cravings here and there.  I was able to suppress them and even discuss them with my wife(I was a ninja dipper).  Talking with my wife helped, she said she is with me 100% of the way
Day 3 has been tough - breath mints, mint chew, beef jerky chew - doing pushups when the Suck comes on real strong. Hopefully, the bitch will be out of my bloodstream soon. If stresses causes it to leave more quickly, then I should be in good shape, cuz I have been a stressed mother fucker lately!
Hey, I'm only a day ahead of you on day 4 now and for me day 3 SUCKED big time. Today, day 4, was much better and I didn't really have a physical urge to do it. I guess it depends on the person but I think by day 4 most of the nicotine is out of your system. Then its physchological which I think is much harder. Lets both keep it up and we'll defeat this Bitch for good.

Almost a full 24 hours of quit in the books. In some ways, not as bad as I thought, in others much worse.

The amount stress between my should blades right now is nuts!

I'm right there with you Frog. I have dipped for 22 years at least a tin a day. I'm on day 2 of this hellhole.....but I must say it is better than yesterday. I just finished dinner and now I want a dip in the worst fucking way. Dude you're not alone here and If I can do it....you can too God damn it! I'm so fucking pissed at tobacco it's beyond words.
It's time to embrace "THE SUCK". It will get better, but not before it get's worse. Remember these first days and hate these first days. This will help you stay quit and help you remember why that shit in a little round can isn't worth a squirt of good. Focus on the next 24 hours of staying quit and come back the next day. Proud of you and proud to be quit with you. QLF today
"The Suck" is upon me, choking me senseless.....I spit in the Bitch's face!! Thanks for the support jaynellie. Being on this site and talking with all of you is such an enormous help.

Frog, Dan and to anyone else experiencing "The Suck"......lets spit in its face together and continue hellish journey. Can I get a big FUCK YOU?!

Frog, as we talked in chat a while ago, be prepared for anything, This in absolutely going to suck for a few days but its DAMN WELL WORTH IT to get that crap out of you life!!!

You can own this U30. A few tough days then it gets better, not easier but better. Post roll, commit, and repeat. See you tomorrow and reach out when you need help.

HFF and Dan6523,

Radman is giving it to you straight. I am on day 6 right now and wasn't ready for the triggers. Like he said, it's worth changing your routine. It's not worth putting yourself in a situation where you could cave this early. Stick with it.

Day 1 as well for me. I was doing the exact same thing as you, dipping while reading the website. Just before I registered I emptied my can out in the toilet and flushed it down.
