Quote from: quittinglawyerGonna pick up some Smokey Mountain Wintergreen on my way home. So far, I've gone without the fake stuff, but I think I'm gonna need an extra boost this weekend. Stay strong, brothers. See you in the a.m. for roll call.
Good plan, have supplies ready, and KTC open on your phone if not your computer. That first weekend was a real doozy for me. A lot of unscheduled time can bring craves, and I didn't realize how much I kept a full lip of yuck during lawn mowing and such.
Glad to be quit with you.

Quote from: quittinglawyerPosted this on another Introduction, but wanted it in mine so I can find it easily and look back on it. ........

I am on day 4, and the first three days were pretty tough. Pretty much a constant headache, emotionally on edge, "cranky" as my wife called me out on mutiple occasions. I have slept like shit, usually waking up every hour or so. However, I have to say that something has started to click this afternoon. This morning, I had my first long drive being quit. I am a lawyer and had a hearing in a small town that was about 2 hours away. We're talking back roads and corn fields for miles. In the past, drives like this were never done without the fattest lipper I could stuff in my mouth. In fact, I've "stopped" chewing dozens of times over the last decade, sometimes for weeks or even months at a time. But I'll bet you an out of town hearing with a long car ride was the cave trigger that ended my quit numerous times. I was nervous this morning. I was craving a chew like you wouldn't believe. But I got on this site, read some shit, posted roll, and hit the road. About an hour into the drive, something clicked. It was like I could suddenly see how ridiculous it was for me to think I couldn't enjoy a country drive without a chew. I turned up the tunes, rolled the windows down and yelled, "Fuck you, nic bitch." at the top of my lungs. Maybe that was stupid, but it made me feel fucking great. To wrap things up, I won my hearing, went for a long run in a beautiful state park and made the drive back without a single craving. I know this is going to be a tough road, but I'm just taking it ODDAAT, and today has been a good day. Quitting right along with you.
Thanks for posting this in mine too, I needed to hear that the long roadtrip is infact possible. Which shouldn't be surprising, but like I posted, I have yet to try one longer than 1/2hr.

You are quitting like a badass! Your posts are raw and honest. Stay close to KTC and keep going, bro. There are a lot of us watching your quit.

ODAAT is right. You're kicking ass. Beware of the head games...

FUCKING A- WINNING!

Hell yeah brother, way to kick ass today and take names. You just need to continue that attitude and direct that anger where it is deserved (the Nic Bitch and you).

I quit with you all day every day.

great stuff. You are doing this right. Preparing for the nic bitch, by reading and posting roll, will often keep her at bay.
Good job on the hearing. I remember being nervous before my first post quit hearing. I was in the fog and not sure how it was going to go. Of course it was fine. Keep up the good work my friend

I always assumed that driving was a huge trigger for me as I dipped the most while in my car. Turns out that it hasn't bothered me at all that I can't dip while driving.
Oh little worm-dirt...you are so scary...F' OFF...!!!

Quote from: quittinglawyerMy quit is strong today. The fog is starting to clear (barely), but I am definitely on edge. Exercising has helped. Tomorrow will be a test. I have my first long drive being quit. Three hours in the car. Probably would have gone through half a can before. I'll post roll before I leave. Thanks for all the support.
Glad to hear the quit is grabbing hold. You are on the path brother. Driving was also a huge trigger for me. You will do fine, just make sure to have some seeds or fake stuff at the ready.
