OK. I'm nearly up to two weeks, and it feels like an eternity! The fake shit helps, but I still have major cravings.
My plan is to stay quit. I agree though Ginet; alcohol really intensifies the cravings. I enjoyed my vacation last week, but I'm kind of glad that I'm back home, and no wine consumption with dinner during normal life.
Commuting to work is murder though, since I have major cravings while driving. Hopefully this gets easier, and time flies past faster, unlike the last couple of weeks.
The fake pouches suck too, just like the negative reviews online. They do help the cravings, but the quality of the actual pouches suck. Many of them have open ends, leaking the fake snuff out of them, and then they contaminate the rest of the pouches in the tin. I don't mind the half-empty pouches as much as the fact that I have to wipe the non-leaking pouches off before placing them in my mouth, or have black crap on my teeth. I never tried using regular tobacco, only pouches, and the quality of real pouches was much higher. Rarely did I find any leakers.
OK. That's my week #2 rant. Thanks to everyone for the support here, and thanks for listening to my rants. My hubby knows I've quit, but I haven't directed any rants to him. That's probably a good thing. We have an excellent marriage, but you never know; that first quit week, we had a couple verbal spats. That's something that hasn't happened in years. After finding this board and my quit group, that hasn't happened again. Thank You!
