Unfortunately, all those patches were a bunch of bullshit...total waste of your money and time. It is simple...if you want to quit, then don't put any form of nicotine in your body.

If you decide to quit, we are all behind you every step of the way. But, until you do, you're just wasting everybody's time. This site isn't for TALKING. It is about DOING.

Nobody can make that choice for you, so don't ask us to beg you. And nobody can do this for you, so don't expect it. You must earn your wonderful freedom one shitty day, minute, moment at a time...with the help and respect of all those bad-ass quitters who have the nuts to post their promise and get in the ring and toe-to-toe with the Nic Bitch.

Come back when you're quit. I'd be proud to be in this together with you...but not if you're just gonna bullshit us. You're not fooling anyone. We're addicts. We've heard this bullshit before. We told ourselves the same things before posting "Day 1."

I hope to see you back here.
Geez Bean, thanks for the support bro. Not sure how I'm BS-ing everyone here. It's my first day in 18 years to live without nicotine. I posted roll and will not use today. How many days do I have to quit before I have your permission to come back? Don't wanna waste your time.

I do appreciate the others who gave advice. Didn't realize caffeine makes things worse. I have put away almost 3 liters of water today. Sunflower seeds seem to help along with bubble gum. I am a marathon runner, but today is a recovery day from my long run this weekend. Looking forward to running tomorrow night.

Beta, Great to see you posted up an intro. The first week sucks, but stick with it cause it only gets better. The fog, rage, and hunger will eventually transform into pride as you quit. Looking forward to riding this out with you and being quit.

37 year old father of 3. Started chewing in November of 1997. One can per day until just before midnight New Years Eve this year. Haven't had a chew since then and just finished 70 days of nicotine patches yesterday. Today is the first day to function with no form of nicotine in my bloodstream.

Didn't want to sign up on the site until I finished my patches. Wishing I would have quit cold turkey because I still feel horrible today. Foggy, irritable, hungry like I could eat all day. Looking forward to finding support through this site, and hopeful to give some support along the way.

You'll get nothing but support here man, and you've learned a valuable lesson.

Your quit is going to be a bit odd as you've probably broken many of the oral fixation issues that most people fight with during these first few days.

But you're still going to have 3-7 days of suck as the poison leaves your bloodstream. Drink a ton of water, limit (or cut out) your caffeine intake (You'll be jittery enough.), and exercise. If you don't run...try it. Nothing kills a crave like 25 push ups.

The important thing is that you post your promise that you won't use nicotine IN ANY FORM today and keep that word. Post to your group, and strap in. You're in for a helluva ride.

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021
