Day one or two

[Its_Got2Happen]

Day 68,,  
Have come a long ways in my quit.  I no longer have the allusion that nicotine is or was, my lover, best friend.  I am going through more and more of the day without thinking of the krap, but sometimes it still hits hard.   
Thanks to ktc, I know all the lies,  and I will never go back.  It is so nice being free.  I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THAT PLACE AGAIN!!!!   

Have been having a little trouble mentally lately.  To a lot of my friends I'm known as someone that is always upbeat, playful and a good person to talk to.  Not doing so well in those departments lately.   I have actually shed a few tears over the last week or so,  for really nothing.  I've never been a person that is depressed, but I think I'm feeling that way.  I know it's just another part of the quit that I must endure, but depression sucks!  I grow weary of this emotional roller-coaster.  One week feeling like your on top of the world, next week, you would think my dog has been shot.  I know it gets better and I will endure, because I've got to many phone numbers of good people that will help me when I need it.   

To everyone here,,  Glad to be quit with you and thank you for all the support.

Some days your the pigeon and some days your the statute. But every day you must fight knowing that you are doing the right thing and that eventually the easy days will far our number the hard ones.

I'm 322 days quit and have had some tough days the last couple days. Not with big craves but just feeling blah. I just ride it out because I've done it before and know I will feel great for a long stretch. Easy stretches get longer and longer...ill tell you that

We fucked our shit up pretty good by literally posioning our body for years. Even though chew wasn't our friend it still was a part of our life, albeit a shitty one.

Going to take some time before we not have thoughts of something that was such a big part of our lives, but it can be done and will be done.

Even now I think to myself, "I used to do that shit?"

I try to think if it as a phase I went through. Like in college when I went out with those dudes and we would get drunk and give eachother....hmmmm nevermind.

Just stay QUIT!!!!

Srans you are one bad ass shark! Welcome to stage 4 of D.A.B.D.A fucking depression. Embrace the suck brother. Don't let the Bitch mess with your swagger.

Without the bad times the good times would not feel so good...

A wise man once said "Well Yes I am depressed, but at the same time I am really happy that something can make me feel this way. It's like, it makes me feel alive. You Know? It makes me feel human. The only way I can feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I am feeling is a beautiful sadness"

Keep doing what you do--keep reaching out to newbies--stay strong and active with your May brothers

Call or text me anytime, get Jaynellie's digits and text the shit out of him also he is up 23 hours a day--most importantly Keep on Keeping on...

One day when I am south of the MD line we'll have boat drinks

Srans,

You are a badass quitter and I am proud to be quit with you!

'clap' 'clap' 'clap'

This is how quitting is done!

Keep on keeping on brother!

Great post srans,

Please realize that it is all part of the healing process. I think that what you are feeling is completely normal and very common at this stage. When I look back at my intro, I remember that I was feeling just like you. As diesel said, we poisoned ourselves for years and years. It is gonna take some time man. Allow yourself to feel this way sometimes. Accept the good days and bad days. Just dont string too many bad ones together.

If you are really feeling deeply down and not finding joy in anything you may need to consult a professional? I considered a psychologist or maybe getting on some meds but I never did either. Instead I just accepted the counseling that was available here on these threads and in live chat. Dont know how smart that was on my part but I survived and I am still here. Getting better one day at a time. Shoot me a PM if you need another number.

Week 9 down,, and everything going good. I noticed something today that got my attention. I work in a tobacco free workplace. A lot of work places are going tobacco free which is great. I didn't like it a couple months ago, but It isn't so bad now. I of course was an excellent ninja dipper, so this was not an issue for me. Now smokers have a serious problem though. I work with a guy that smokes and has to find ways to dip out and leave the facility to smoke. Watching him is so painful. I felt sorry for him before I quit dipping because I could dip without being noticed and he had to go through this everyday. I watched him today and noticed how he was acting after about 7 hours and no way of leaving for his fix. He was acting like everyone on ktc acted during their first few days of quit. What got me though was when I thought about it. He goes through this 4 days a week, because it is several hours before he can get his fix. 4 DAYS A WEEK,,,, EVERYDAY!!!!!!! No way,,, not me,, i'll be damned!!!! I am so glad to be quit today.

Nice observation. Way to go on your quit.

Weak 8 down.  In a couple days I will reach the halfway point.  I would usually say, something like that's hard to believe, but this time there is something different about me.  I'm going to say damn straight this time.  I had this since day one,,  I don't know what I was thinking.  Nicotine made me soft.    One thing I noticed this week...    I handled a couple very stressful situations without any trouble.  As a matter of fact I didn't even think about nic until well after the situation ended and everything was calm.  I feel I handled the situation better than ever.   I'm finding out more and more each week how many lies the nic bitch had me believing.                                                                     'bang head'    Today I QLF with each one of you non dipsters.

stay on your game and don't get cocky

We can do anything for 24 hours right?!

Great accomplishment--Half Way HOF brother--keep doing what you do, glad to hear you are doing well.

Proud as hell, just remember brother this is a marathon not a sprint.One day at a time, worry about tomorrow when it becomes today.Let's do this May!!!NAFAR!!

Way to go, srans! I quit with you, today.

Day 50 in which is something to be proud of.. But in saying that i'm starting to get what all the vets are saying. 50 is in the middle of 49 and 51. I'm a little slow sometimes, you'll have to forgive me. I'ts actually just another day to promise to all of you that I won't use nicotine today. I'm still $4:30 cents away from day one. I got a little cocky the other day and a couple of vets set me straight.

Where were you buying chew for $4.30 try $7.15

Kind of nice to have a little extra cash to throw around.

Proud to quit with you one day at a time Good times

I'll quit with your 50 daze Mr. srans. I'll be there in the a.m. too. Let's quit everyday that ends with a y.
One day at a time and this dumbass dipper becomes a smartass quitter!! 'bang head'
It does get much better. We can re-claim our lives back from nicotine!
40,000 addicts went before us to pave the way for us Today!!

Protect your quit at ALL COSTS!!! NAFAR!!

Weak 8 down.  In a couple days I will reach the halfway point.  I would usually say, something like that's hard to believe, but this time there is something different about me.  I'm going to say damn straight this time.  I had this since day one,,  I don't know what I was thinking.  Nicotine made me soft.    One thing I noticed this week...    I handled a couple very stressful situations without any trouble.  As a matter of fact I didn't even think about nic until well after the situation ended and everything was calm.  I feel I handled the situation better than ever.  I'm finding out more and more each week how many lies the nic bitch had me believing.                                                                    'bang head'    Today I QLF with each one of you non dipsters.

stay on your game and don't get cocky

Great accomplishment--Half Way HOF brother--keep doing what you do, glad to hear you are doing well.
