Day 4

Well nothing really new to report. Another day without nic and no headache to speak of. I've tried most of the fake dip and nothing really tastes the same as the real stuff. So someone smarter than me get on that. Make a fake dip that actually tastes like wintergreen.

Ummmmmm what else?.....Ummmm oh the constipation shit is real and I'm getting some broken sleep but I think I'll manage.
funny
You didnt like Wintergreen Skoal for the flavor. You needed the nicotine. There is no substitute for it except stone cold quit turkey.
Ya I've just been chewing gum...can't stand the fake stuff.

Day 3

Today was much of the same. I spent most of my day in class and in the library. I feel as though I'm starting to walk out of the fog a little....I'm having moments of extreme clarity. My only complaint for today is that my throat is a little sore.
keep chugging water. cleanse yourself. be free. stay free.

Congrats.
Larry, the soar throat will get better I promise!
The brain will clear up. What is happening right now is your brain is rewiring itself to operate without nicotine. This process causes a bit of a fog. It shall soon pass. Carry on with the quit.

Day 2

Thanks for the response guys! Today went ok all in all. I didn't sleep too bad last night and was ok mentally until around noon when I would take my after lunch dip. But I kept on walking through the fog. I think school is helping because I usually won't dip in class or when I'm in the library so it makes it easy to say away from it I guess. The only thing that is really pissing me off is how slow I am cognitively right now...It took me almost an hour in a half to do something that should have taken like 45 min...

Can anyone help me out and tell me where I exactly post roll? I get how to do it I just don't know where on the site. (I could have completely missed it.....I blame the fog.)

Thanks,

Larry Mangano
Proud to quit with you! Post roll every day!

Your quit group is April 2015:
topic/10847546/327/#new

These instructions for: PC How to post roll (get these figured out then you can learn how to do it on a phone)

1. Login, go to your quit page, think about what you are going to post.
2. Find the most recent post
3. hit F5 or refresh the page
4. Press "quote" on the roll
5. Click in the box that has all of the Roll posts (the lower box), hit CTRL-A to select all and Press CTRL-X to CUT, not copy-if you copy, then you'll double post roll.
6. Click to the reply window and press CTRL+V to paste it in. Then write in your name, day and your promise
7. Press submit-done.
Thanks dude!

Larry if my math is right you are 22. Quick word of advice is guys your age don't last here often. If it had to guess they underestimate their addiction. There can be no exceptions to your quit if you want it to be successful. Take your quit seriously and you can avoid the decades of abuse guys like me had. Good luck.
Yes sir I am 22. Don't we all think we are bulletproof when we are young? The big C runs heavy in my family so I think it's about time I grow up.
