Day one or two

[cbird65]

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?!

I just wanted to throw something else out there for all those that are new quiters and haven't thought of this or tried it. I went to GNC and got some mint oil and cinnamon oil. I made a few hundred mint and cinnamon toothpicks. It works wonders for the oral fixation and is not bad for you. I don't know about anyone else but, I get tired of chewing gum and plain toothpicks get old quick. Today I QLF with everyone here.

i used to make those as a kid b4 the nic found me. i was thinking about that the other day. thanks for info on where to get , and im gonna make a batch asap...

Day 44 and everything has new life. So far i'm loving the feeling of being quit. I've noticed the cravings are really dying down now. They hit me hard sometimes, but as long as I don't sit there and dwell on it they go away pretty quickly. My wife said something last night that kind of got me by suprise. We were talking and for the first time she said "You really Quit, didn't you?" I thought this already had been determined 44 days ago, but in reality she had doubt and I expected that. It was a good feeling because the smile on her face said a lot. She was really happy that I wasn't putting that shit in my mouth anymore. For her, my kids and myself I remain QLF!!

Hell YES!!! I quit with you today!

5 weeks.Ã,  Everything going well.Ã,  I'm still thinking about the stuff pretty much of the day.Ã,  Sometimes the craves are pretty bad.Ã,  Had my first dip dream.Ã,  Unreal!Ã,  I felt bad after I got up.Ã,  I felt I should have called my quit buddies and tell them I caved.Ã,  I swear I tasted it and everything.Ã,  I'm still not sure it was a dream.Ã,  It was such a relief to wake up and no that I didn't cave.Ã,  I felt like a real douche during the dream.Ã,  Today I QLF and look forward to tomorrow when I can wake up and do it again.

Those dreams can be vivid. I have only had 2 in 80 days but they were messed up. It took me 3 days to convince myself 100% that I didnt dip. One dream was that I picked up a rotten spent dip from the bottom of a garbage can in my garage and packed it in.

Your addict mind is making a last ditch effort to get its fix. You are too strong for the the typical day time tactics so she is hunting you down in your dreams. This too shall pass. You are winning Srans. REJOICE!!, but never let you guard down!

Very nice. The process is working.

As bad as I hate dip dreams, I'm honestly glad they stick around. They keep it real. They are very infrequent, but the last one I had made me realize just how miserable it would be to cave.

Quit on, sir.

It is week 4 and I continue to notice differences without the nicotine in my life. The way things look, feel, and taste are the big ones. So far it has been so worth it to quit. Really I can't think of one good reason to not have quit. I know the battle is still going on daily. I can't tell you how good it would feel to look back on one whole day and realize I didn't think of the stuff hardly. Last word: I took a smell of some grizzly the other day, it actually stunk to me. I actually remembered smelling that smell 25 plus years ago. I can't remember a lot of things 25 years ago, but that one I remembered. Today I QLF!

I share the same feeling. Although I haven't smelled dip because I haven't had a desire. Keep going strong. Quitting with you!
