Hang in there brother after you get through the withdrawals it becomes a mind game.  In my journey thus far the physical withdrawal was by far the worst part.  I was a wreck I couldnt even post roll right.  I posted in the JULY HOF class once thinking I was in the right spot.  Withdrawal and fog sucked ass hot then freezing aches and cramps... Then Bean posted never forget what you are feeling and embrace the suck...SRANS called me asked me if I was ok....Quit notiifed me I was fucking roll up consistanly... bottom line is all my brothers and sisters helped me through it and from the sounds of it you have a blood brother here.  you can do the KC pm me if you need anything.  Keep this site close this weekend for sure.

Todd...quit with you today
This is so true. Trauma sent this to me early in my quit. Several guys did. I look back and remember every detail. I kept notes. It is pure hell. Keep fighting, you can and will win this fucking battle. Your an August quitter and you posted roll, moreover your a bad ass. It gets way better. Pm me if you need me. I am quiting with you right now, here, in this very minute.
I just wanted to give a big shout out to. Worktowin. He is a fellow KC poster and really helped me out this evening. I mowed my yard which is a huge trigger point and I started freaking out big time. I have some smokey mountain now. I learned that I will need to use this until I can conquer mowing the yard. Its reteaching yourself to do all these things without chew. Another day down. Onto the next.
Get ready... You'll be amazed (and pissed) at all the things you never had any idea stood as triggers. Everything CAN be a trigger given the circumstances.

Ever folded clothes when the family wasn't home?

Ever read a magazine and seen a Grizzly ad?

Ever considered taking the train instead of the plane?

Ever had one clean pair of boxers and they had a hole in the taint?

Ever watched a show on TV that, while watching, used to include a spitter in front of you?

Ever jacked off to Alyssa Milano while dipping?

My point: Everything is a trigger. Everything!!! It's mowing grass, after drinks, watching football, etc. but it's all the times you THINK about doing the things that made you dip even if you're not doing them. Every minute is a trigger if your freaking mind lets it be.

You are in the company of some fucked up minds that probably allowed crap as remedial as comparing types of mustard to become a trigger. I'm telling you: everything can and will eventually be a trigger. Tell that trigger to fuck off. Sounds pretty simple, doesn't it? It's not.

And if you choose to see me, any other KTC member, or anything we say as a trigger, personify us and tell us to fuck off. We just want you to quit.
I can not for the life of me as I type this remember who's signature say's this but I think about it almost daily..."If everything is a trigger,than nothing is a trigger". NAFAR

Tonight is when I truly know that I am an addict. I mean hell I used dip for 15 years but never once did I really think I was addicted. Well after the crap I am going through tonight I know I am an addict.  One minute I am thinking I cant do this.  What is one little dip going to do. But then the next minute I am thinking why would I ever break my promise and dip today.  I cant wait for bed time. Wake up tomorrow on day 4.  Just keep pluggin away. This just jumped from about a 5 to a 9 on the difficultuy stage in one day.
It will continue to go up and down for a little while. Just hang on for the roller coaster ride. It does get a lot better, but the beginning can get challenging.

Thanks for the message and encouragement. I still didn't sleep well last night. That's back to back nights of that. I know this will pass in time but the sooner the better.

So far today has been better than yesterday. My cravings have not been as strong. Day 4. My appetite has been though. I feel like eating all the time. Of course I don't but I constantly seem hungry now.
Hunger is normal, I have put on 10 lbs so far in my quit. Most important thing is the quit though, Shove things into your mouth as long as it is not nicotine.

I am 45 days in now and the hunger is mostly gone.
Keep plugging along KC. Every minute you keep that shit out of your mouth is valuable. You're on Day 4 today and that's a fucking HUGE milestone. The physical addiction is probably gone at this point. Now you need to be mentally tough. You need to have the committment and self-respect to keep your word.

You can do this. You're a bad ass motherfucker. You're on day 4 of a quit you spent 15 years waiting for. Own this shit.
On the eating thing, just do what you need to do in these early days. Your only self-improvement goal today is to not use tobacco.

I pretty quickly decided to up my running mileage to help with the anxiety, the insomnia, the weird shits, and the weight gain. It was great for everything but the weird shits. Despite running 30-40 miles a week, I gained 5 pounds over the first 70 or so days, but then started to whittle it back down and am actually now under my day 1 weight. If I hadn't been running, I would have gained quite a bit more weight probably. (But it still would have been worth it to be free).

Bottom line: exercise is really helpful throughout the first 100 days.

I have been Quit for several years and I still wake up every morning and quit one day at a time.  I figure if it worked yesterday, it will work today.  Never ever get complacent in your quit!

Kc guy you r still posting roll, thats fucking awesome brother. You in the middle of your shit right now and I Know it sucks ass, we all know! You keep posting your promise to us in roll. You got this we are doing it with you.
Thanks man for the encouragement. Today has been my roughest so far. I havent used and I wont break my promise. But I hope it gets easier. Today was brutal.
It gets easier. Eventually, way easier. Now is the time to reach out and lean on your quit brothers though. Don't be shy. Trust me, it's way more manly to say hello to a stranger and ask for some help than to be tobacco's little bitch.
