Day one for me.

[PatrickC]

Brad,

I hear ya bro... day 4 sucked ass too. drove circles around a convenience store while chewing a combo napkin/dentine mint gum...

The tingling goes away but the cravings are still there... beatable though.

After 96 hours, the nic bitch is supposed to be out of my body, but you'd never know it from the cravings. That said, yesterday was worse than today. So, fuck it... tomorrow should be better than today, and so on...

Stay the course, and if you have trouble, PM me and let's figure it out.

I'm going to be fat as shit when i give my HOF speech from all the subsitutes, but at least my jaw will still be intact.

On a positive note, even at day 4, my inner lip feels like butter. Been a long time since it didn't feel like sandpaper.

Stay the course Brad... we're all in this together.

Day 2. Fuck day 2.

I'm anxious. I'm bored. I'm nervous. I've eaten about a dozen blow pops/tootsie pops, plus something called mango-tango tangerine pops.

I just ate 2 cans of sardines and a slim jim. That's gonna make a nice fart later. I'll probably kill my whole damn family with that thing.

My fog is a little less foggy right now. I just got back from tennis. Exercise really helps. I'm gonna go for a walk. See if I can make it till the sun sets.

I'm still taking it one minute at a time. One day at a time is too fucking big for me to handle right now. I alternate between angry and slightly annoyed. Been that way all day.

My anxiety level is through the roof. And my teeth feel weird. I can't sit still, and when I do all I want is a chew. It's all I can think about.

Reading the stories here helps me, but my patience level is so short it's hard to concentrate sometimes. Hell most of the time.

Ok, that killed a minute. Good! Now I gotta get through the next minute.

Well this plan should definitely keep you quit!!! Just turn the tennis matches up about 4 notches, and turn the walk into some runs, cause with all these slim jims and cupcakes and tango mang tootsie rolls....This plan will also put a fatty in your clothes instead of your lip!

[Brad64]

It helps having you guys here. It really does. It's just so hard to fill the time with something BESIDES CHEWING.

I'm gonna take a stroll. Then maybe take my laptop out on the deck with me. I'm gonna need some moral support. But I am kinda proud of making it this far.

P.S. I just ate 2 cupcakes. 1 chocolate with cream cheese icing, the other vanilla with banana pudding icing. Damn they were good.

Like I said -- "Caged Tiger"

Hang in there. You not only can do this, you ARE DOING IT.

Could you have imagined a couple days ago that you would go this long without chew?

Brad,

It'll get better, really it will. Day 2 was my worst day so far also. Stay close to the boards my friend, you'll get through this.

Helluva combo, you may need to go outside when that thing hits.

Stay Strong-Stay Quit!

Brad64,

Congratulations on quitting. It's a decision that you won't regret as long as you stay true to yourself and give it an honest effort.

How do you guys get through this. What the hell exactly do you do to NOT CHEW?!

Personally, for me, I come here to the boards or to the chat room. If I have questions, I ask them. Someone is always bending over backwards to help you out on here. That's what I like about this site, all the help and camaraderie of all of us quitters. How many times does that chew give a shit about you?

Try and take your mind off whatever triggers your urge to chew. Find something that you enjoy doing and do it, read, exercise, hunt, fish or whatever. Find something that takes your mind off the urge and stick with it, you'll get there. Have faith and stay strong, you can do this.

This isn't a race, take it slow, pace yourself. Baby steps...one day at a time, you'll be amazed at how fast those days will add up. Just stick with it and be strong. You came here for a reason, whatever that reason is, remember it each time you're craving, then look at all the hard work you've put into quitting. Stay active here on the forums and stay true to your quit group, but most importantly, stay true to yourself.

Stay Strong-Stay Quit!

Use the fake stuff! Smokey Mountain, Hooch find something you can tolerate and use it, use the hell out of it. You will eventually taper off the fake stuff.

Is the fake stuff for sale at conv stores? I've never tried it.
