I am on my First Day

[jayd41]

Not to hijack your anything but Mogul just wrote some of the most prolific shit i've ever read on here...i hope it makes it to the words of wisdom page...that was awesome and it strengthened my quit by a hundred today.

[srans]

You know what day 2 tells me. That's two days you haven't went down to the corner store and spent your hard earned money on the filthy disgusting poison. That's two days you have demonstrated you love yourself, family and friends more than the poison. that's two days you are free. Smell it, taste it and feel it.

Two days means you can damn sure make it three. Lets post up and make it another day, i'll quit with you.

[Grizzlyhasclaws]

Well, I am 15 minutes away from the first 24 hours of nicotine free living that I can remember in who knows how long.  The mind is foggy, can't concentrate, face, jaw, lips are throbbing, but my resolve is strong. 

I just went to the chatroom and got help from a bunch of guys that helped me get through the last couple of hours.  Those guys made me dump the rest of my copey snuff in a toilet and flush that shit down the drain.  They made me take a pic and send it to them.  I did it.  They were proud. 

I am going to try and get some sleep now, and welcome any support that may come through this thread as I venture onto day 2.  I made it through day one fellas, still can't believe it.  Tomorrow is another day, another fight, one day at a time.  I feel like with the help of my new found brothers, I can take on the challenge. 

I will be posting as much as possible from this thread as a sort of diary or journal, in hopes of getting support from others, and providing inspiration to those that may need it.  Stay tuned for some real shit to be written.  The journey has only just begun...

Hey bro, let's be calm and rational for 35 seconds. You are thinking that just one pinch can solve your problems. Your gums will not hurt, your tongue won't feel like a filing rod, and your mind will return to normal. That is the Nic Bitch telling you all of that. That is how "they" keep you coming back for more. That is how they line their wallets, with your addiction and ultimately your death. See, this is nothing more than the best money scam going. Just imagine if you could have a 10 million dollar mansion and have someone else pay for it. Well, "they" figured out how to do that. Provide a product that "addicted you" to it and paid off lawmakers to keep it legal. Tax the shit out of it and everybody wins. Except for the addict, you can die. There will be plenty more behind you, you're not special. So, every time you step into that store and throw a five on the counter, just remember you are agreeing to be taxed, proliferated and murdered, all with your money and your blessing. You "OK" this when you lay down your cash.

I want you to suppose for a minute that I walk up to you. Look you in the eye and tell you I'm going to kill you, slowly. I'm going to make you spend thousands of dollars in doctor and hospital bills, I'm going to orphan your kids, make your spouse go at life alone or find another mate. I'm going to take your families money and feed my family with it, also, junior wants a convertible to drive to Harvard. I need some new addicts to pay for that car and his education, you top the list. I need your money addict.

How would you feel about me? Would you do business with me? Would you buy my product? Would you want to kill me? Would you at least stand up for yourself and your family?

Well, I say Fuck Them, you're not taking my money, much less my life without getting the fight of your life. In fact I would rather die on my own accord than let you kill me. It's me or you motherfucker, and I'm not going to lose. All I have to do is Not Dip and you lose. That's it. You are not getting another penny from me you son of a bitch. Not a fucking penny. You will not make me withdraw, you will not make me crave, you will never make me kneel at your alter ever again. I'm in control, not you. I'm pissed, and I'm armed with quit. Fuck you and heed warning I'm out to do to you what you threatened to do to my children. Your on notice tobacco CEO. I'm fucking quit and I will never again let you treat me like a whore.

That might have taken more than 35 seconds, sorry. Hope you get where I'm coming from.

Listen to Mogul. Fuck being a sucker for the biggest money scam on the planet. Way to lay it out plainly.

So here I am, 18 hours in with no nicotine. 42 hours no chew. Day 1 in the brotherhood. I am very happy and impressed with the outreach and support I have gotten so far. I am worried about my resolve. I already am feeling the tough physiological withdrawal symptoms. I am starting to go crazy. I can't think straight, have a hard time focusing. The only thing that I have been doing is chewing on sugar free gum, just to be clear the gum I am chewing today has no nicotine in it. Any advice or encouragement from vets that have gone through the first 72 hours? I will take anything I can get at this point. I am just trying to make it another 6 or so hours until bedtime.

drink water, lots of it. I've also had a few guys say they liked 100% cranberry juice - not the stuff next to kids juice but the health food store kind. exercise, sleep, get laid, read more here - do anything but put nicotine in your face. Embrace the suck - remember how bad it is and never do this again - make this your quit.

read, drink water, spit seeds, chew gum, beat off, repeat. The first 3 days are the worst physically. It sucks, but absolutely relish the pain you are feeling right now. In a very short amount of time, it will pass and you will start healing. Best thing I read in the first day of my quit was that cravings only last a max of 3 min. Get a watch and time it next time. You can fight off a 3 min crave....

There aren't any shortcuts from here. Stay hydrated, stay active and remember that you're being 4874633894 times the ass you think you are being so be on your best behavior with the rest of the world and rage to us. We can take it.

If you want to rage personally, shoot me a pm and I'll give you my digits. I can yell, scream, argue, name call, insult with the best of them.

You are going to take your life back. ODAAT, you will do it.

Read all you can on the site. Learn about the addiction and what to expect. See your story in the stories of other quitters. Get some exercise, breathe deep, do whatever it takes! You can do it!

Also try the chat here- lots of guys like that!

Exercise, drink water, exercise!!! Anything from running, waking, biking, swimming, push-ups, sit-ups etc. there is no magic fix for "the suck". Get in chat if possible....remember to be pissedat the right thing....tobacco....you have got to want it and fight for it

I have posted roll. I have decided that I will beat this beast. It will be the hardest thing I will ever have to do, but I will do it. I will be relying on your guys support. Thank you to those of you that helped me see the light. I have not had any gum today, no chews today. I know the road ahead is going to be hell, but from what I have read, freedom is worth it. I need the support from my brothers now, as I have started the journey. Thank you.

welcome to the brotherhood! This is going to suck until it doesn't - the good news is that at some point the suck goes away. Freedom is within your grasp here. There are more tools than you need here, cancer pics, hof speeches, words of wisdom, intros, old quit groups, chat, digits from fellow quitters and your quit group to name a few! Use them all - check things out and see what motivates you. feel free to ask questions or to blow a gasket here, we have all been there. again, welcome.

Thank you.

Congrats on making the decision!

Very important: make sure and post roll every morning first thing. That's you ensuring your quit for the day. Also, make some friends.

I quit with you today.

Way to go! You are now on your way to freedom. Nicbitch will fight back but you will win with perseverence. This method works- everyone here is proof of that. Follow the method here as best as you can. Get thru tonight, quit again tomorrow. It gets better fast once you get it out of your system.
