Hey what's up guys.  My  name is Mike, and I am a tobacco addict.  Day 2 today.  Foggy as hell, quick to rage, my mouth hurts.  Dedicated to make it, but really looking forward to getting the nic out of my system.  Thanks for this site - LOTS of support here. 

-Mike

That's just your weakness leaving your body. Make sure you take some quiet time. Breathe deep, think of all the good that's coming. PM if you need anything.

Mike - stay close to the site the next few days. It gets better every day. Take pride in what you are doing - freedom from this shit does not come easy but is the best decision you ever made.
I quit with you today -pm me if you need anything

hey Mike,

Keep it simple, use the tools and your daze will stack up before you know it.
The mind games will subside alot, a little later. Meanwhile, fight back with your committment as you're doing. Do whatever you have to do to "not" put the poison in your mouth!
It is simple, but most likely the hardest thing you'll ever do.... simple steps to FREEDOM are:

Post roll, the earlier the better.
Keep your word all day.
Get to bed.
Wake and REPEAT.

Happy turkey day! Cheers. 'bang head'

What's up brothers in quit..........

So this morning I finally got it about the posting roll thing. My addict mind got up this morning and started playing tricks, telling me that it wasn't that hard to quit. Telling me the risks aren't real, doing everything it could to rationalize putting another cat turd in my lip. Not a crave, at least not directly, but more like a pre-crave (pre-cave). An initial strike to my defense network, setting up the actual cave.

Then it dawned on me - I've got to post roll! As soon as I remembered that, it was like my defenses were totally up again and I remembered the suck. I remembered all the reasons I'm doing this. I remembered my brothers out there quitting with me, and I was strong. Damn y'all that's some powerful shit right there.

So post your damn roll fellas. I don't give a shit if you're busy. I don't give a shit if you think it's stupid. It's saving your life.

-Mike

well done, realization of what your word means each day is a huge victory....

today the scorecard reads : mrob - 1 , nic biotch - 0

I quit with you today.

Day 4 fellas! Made it through 72 edgy, cranky, foggy hours. It's tough but feels great so far. Probably wouldn't have made it this far without this site and all the encouragement from my brothers on here.

No terbacky for this redneck today..........

[Sharsky]

I'm powerless over that shit,

Not anymore yer not....not if you use the tools here. You have the power to choose not use nicotine.....

drink lots n lots of water, exercise as much as ya can, and if you are like me, you'll need the fake stuff, or seeds, or whatever you choose to substitute in your lip, but you can do this. If you need another number, lemme know.....ill do what i can to help.

What's up brothers? Made it through day 2. Actually slept alright last night, but damn that late night dip was calling my name. Substituted for some herbal chew (that Hooch stuff). Actually helped a lot, at least going through the motions. Today I'm going to keep my guard up, not make that side trip to the gas station to buy a can, and stay focused on this thing. I'm powerless over that shit, and I have to keep my head in the game. Love this that I found somewhere on here:

"There is only one thing that I must accomplish today, and that is to not chew. If I get other things done today, great. But everything else has second priority for now. Soon I'll be able to focus on those other things too. But for right now, for today, this is the only thing that matters. I won't demand more of myself, and I won't get down on myself for not doing anything else if I don't get to it. This is damn damn damn hard work, and it's the most important work that I have right now. I'll be truly and sincerely proud if I meet no goals today other than keeping that crap out of my mouth."

So much good info and support here. Thanks to everybody!

Welcome mike.

Good news: the nicotene is well on it's way to being out of your system, you've successfully made your promise not to use any more nicotene, and you're a badass.

Bad news: Even after the poison is out of your system and your body adjusts, you'll be left with the mental battle. It won't be easy, so bring your A-game.

Advice: Dig in. Read everything here on the site. Swap numbers with the guys in your quit group. Get involved with your group in whatever way you can. In short, be here for more than just roll call.

Above all: 1 day at a time.

Epayne said it! Get active, stay close, fully committed and embrace the suck! Get numbers!

Welcome Mike.....keep it close....Drink a ton of fluids over the next few days to cleanse the nic out
