Apogeeammo - this is me

[SirDerek]

Nothing I do feels right!  My face feels different when I shave, my mouth tastes different brushing my teeth and my skin feels like it belongs to someone else.  I'm periodically dizzy and angry. This sucks! 'Finger'

That is why it is referred to as "The Suck" Remember this feeling, you only have to do this one time if you quit for today.

It gets better I promise.

Deep breath my friend as your body is starting to heal. Just like when we feel that itching under that scab when it is healing and it drives us crazy, so too when we heal from poisoning us for so long there will be things that drive us crazy.

hang tight and fight through these times. reach out in your intro and the quit thread as you have. get it off your chest and be wise asking for help.

it will get so much better but you have to believe.

I quit with you today.

I definitely need to add working out as one of my alternatives. Right now my main alternative is eating and let's just say I'm not starting out as a slender person. I will have to find other ways or I will weigh a ton! 'embarrassed'

here is a little tidbit that I learned. It is much easier to shed a few pound than it is to shed cancer.

So yes be quit, but don't beat yourself up too hard on tackling some additional food. I too in my first 120 days packed on 35 pounds (to up over 295).

But as I sit here today at 551 days quit, I have lost 45 pounds since then (below that which I started), and I feel better than I have since college.

so you can do this, remember quit first, then you can work on other aspects of life.

It always helps me to have a plan. Ok long car ride, bag of jerky to chew on, first baseball game sunflower seeds, feeling edgy work out... you get the idea. We got this shit one day at a time. All Damn Day, proud to quit with you, see you tomorrow.

[apogeeammo]

OUCH is right! I'll save that suggestion for another day! For now, I'm okay, thanks.

Just cooked a big old pot of spaghetti and ate dinner with the wife and kids. Got up from the table and could have dipped a whole can at one time. Remembered that cravings last about 3 minutes and came down and got on the site and read a few posts and typed this post and now I'm okay! cowboy

You can do this brother! ODAAT
You get a crave...find a desk drawer, place penis in drawer, slam drawer!!! OUCH.

You get the idea.
Don't fucking dip, do something else...
Walk, run, lift weights, laugh hard, run around the yard singing mary had a little lamb, while rubbing your head!
Whatever it takes to "not" put the poison in your mouth.
You got this!
Cheers.

Thanks to everyone who immediately responded to my introduction. I appreciate it. I'm trying to focus on the good things I'm noticing like the fact that I can ride with someone else to lunch because I don't have to take my car with the bottle in it and the fact that I don't have a little mound of drippings next to the seat of my car.

Anyway, I'll post roll tomorrow for another day!

Enjoy every second of feeling like the world is an alternate universe. Enjoy every moment of agony. Enjoy each minute of misery. It's the price of freedom and it's worth it. Remember all of this because, at some point, you'll need to be reminded of how nasty this all is so you don't EVER put yourself through it again.

Congrats on your quit. Now go to Quit Groups and find Per HOF April 2013 and Post Role. One Day at a time. They are only bastards when you do not post role or speak of caving. PM me if you need help.

I waited until the third day to post so I could make sure I really meant it this time.  Mainly because you guys are mean as shit to someone who posts first day and then doesn't go post roll :blink:
So by posting this introduction I'm saying I'm here and I'm ready for you bastards to help me get through the tough times ahead  'Finger'
My name is Jeff and I dipped for 30 years before quitting on 12/31/2013 at 12:31pm (seriously spit out the last dip at that time!)

I have figured out how to post roll today and have done so.

I am deep in the fog and feel like I'm slightly drunk or high right now.  I've been trying to sleep as much as possible so I won't know how bad I feel.  The biggest issue I've had is this time warp I seem to be in where hours pass by and then I look at the clock and its only been a few minutes.

I'm here and I'm committed to NO NICOTINE!

Apogeeammo 'Remshot'

Hey apogee. I spent my first three days eating jolly ranchers and taking Tylenol pm. I chewed for 23 years. I didn't think I could quit. I had tried. Believe me when I tell you that lots of us ahead of you have done it and you can too.
Read the welcome info. The read the hall of fame posts. Stay online and read read read. Get phone numbers. I have a group of 8 who we all text back and forth. Pm me and I'll give you my number.
Figuring out that many of us have gone through the exact same stuff saved my ass. If he could quit so could I.
Jolly ranchers. Atomic fireballs and smokey mountain fake chew. I've quit the jolly ranchers and the fire balls. I still use the fake stuff. It saved me. You can order a sampler of 5 or 10 from their website. Free except for shipping. Walmart sells it too.
The first bit will suck. Fog. Lethargy. Anger. Little nic bitch lies and whispers. Drink lots of water. Find an activity to sink into. Sleep. I used Tylenol pm and NyQuil every night the first week. My son still laughs about the mound of jolly rancher wrappers in front of the computer.
Stay strong and stay on here. You can quit. Just quit one day at a time. You can do anything for one day. Then I'll do it with you tomorrow.

We've all been thru the suck and one of the reasons so many of us are still here is we never wanna go thru that b.s. ever again. You can do this. You will do this. This is your opportunity to save yourself from a lifetime of reaching for a can and a spitter 10 times a day so that you can pay somebody to kill you.

This isn't easy, but stick to your commitment ODAAT and you'll make it. Simple as that.

That's some good quitting. Follow the KTC roadmap. You'll do well. Let me know if you need help.

Nice start, you are committed. Now hang with it! Don't neglect to reach out if you need help. Start building your network of accountability and support- just about everyone will share their number with you if you ask. We all want you to succeed. I think it helps to learn a lot about what you are fighting, too. Here's a link you might find helpful in that regard...
Why Quit

Allright, go get this thing-- just ride it out, you'll make it through the fog and be on your way!
