Day #5

I'm a little tired today as I had a hard time sleeping last night. I woke up about 3:00am and I was all sweaty. After that, I got out of bed and spent the rest of the night on my couch and I was able to sleep the rest of the morning.

The cravings have been significantly less today and I feel pretty good! I'm still farting a lot but it's not near as bad today as it was yesterday. The "fog" is gone and it's all about self-dicipline from here.
I really did it. I really did quit dipping and you will as well. Hang in there!!!!

I'm on day two, and cravings are getting stronger for me too. I just keep reading here, and if I'm not doing that, I just change from one activity to the next. Each one sucks just as much as the last, but time is passing without nicotine, which is the important part in my mind.

We got this!

Day #4:

Basically I feel like I felt yesterday, edgy and anxious.  The cravings today are stronger than they have been.  It's very tempting to go to the store, buy a can, pop in a fatty, and just relax, Ahhhh.....  FUCK THAT, I gotta stay focused!

When I focus on quitting, or the withdrawals, or even on the cravings I'm fine and I know I have enough will power to stay 100% quit.  However, the tough times are when I'm NOT thinking about my quit and I'm focused on something else or I'm pre-occupied.  NIC is a sneaky little basterd.  It's always looking for the backdoor.

Edit:  I have farted all day today and I think I'm going to fart all night.  Nasty ones too.  My office smells like rotting corpses.  Hopefully this passes sooner rather than later.
I'm on day 23, and still feel crappy every now and then, but believe me it does get better, Greg5280 also said getting your heart rate up helps curb the craves and will help keep some weight off if you are like me and wanting to eat alot more. Just stay focused and read,read,read and ask questions. We're all in this together, the worst thing you can do is NOT ASK!!!!!!!
I am on day 139 and I still have a bad day every now and then. The difference is I have my tools in place and when I have a bad day I know how to react to it. My anxiety was CRAZY for a long time.

You are doing great. Just stay focused on quitting !!! Nothing you do today is more important than that. !!!

When you have questions.. ask. And READ everything you can here....


Stay quit
Greg

Day #3:

I actually feel better today. My head doesn't ache and the nasea is gone. Now, I'm edgy and nervous; I feel like I swallowed a handful of diet pills and little tedious annoyances are really starting to get to me.

I'm starting to notice just how much my life revolved around dipping. I'm catching myself doing little things like reaching in my front pocket to make sure my can is there or tearing the top off of my empty soft drink cans so I can spit in them. My desk and my nightstand look different without a tin of snuff and a spit can on them. So many parts of my life were related to dipping and were completely auto-pilot.

After a successful Day #2 and reading through this forum, I think I'm even more determined than I was to start.
You will start to see many things differently. Make it through your third day and the NIC is gone from your system. Then all you have to do it battle your mind. If you get your mind right this is much easier.

Glad you are feeling better, but do not kid yourself.. you have some tough days ahead. I always suggest going into a group that is ahead of you and read from the first post. It gives you an idea of what is coming. For me that was very helpful.

Stay quit
Greg

Day #2

The "fog" has landed and I feel like shit. I'm slightly naceous, my head feels sore and my thoughts are scattered. I've been drinking a lot of water and I may not have any fingernails (or fingers for that matter) after today. BUT! all in all, I'm just as determined today as I was yesterday.
Nice day 2. Keep it going..Lean on your quit brothers when you need support, or need to vent.

"A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion."


A Quit Plan: Do you have one?


CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit.
After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco. SportDad 1/13/05

Warm southern wind, blow softly here;
Green sod above, lie light, lie light.-
Good-night, dear heart, good-night.

Have faith in yourself that you can do what is unexpected and break the nic cycle. It is not easy, but you can do it and others are here to lend support.

first attempt quit?

Read everything on the site and hang on for dear life. when you don't think you can take another second, just hang on a tad longer, and another second and so on, until it's another day. Don't get hung up on anythign other than getting through one day.

I did not do this, but in hind sight wish I had, write down how shitty you feel during the first 3 days. I was in bed for my first 2 days, and essentially couldn't move. Yet once the fog cleared, my addicted side says to my rational side... "that wasn't so bad, lets have one more dip". THis is no joke, it will be tough, write down why you decided to quit. Your resolve will be tested. Your brain will try to get you to cave in every conceivable way.

Post roll call daily. Know that roll call is you giving your word to not dip. People on here treat a stranger's word like their family's, very seriously. So when you say you won't dip and cave... lots of people are pissed. Don't cave, you'll feel douchy, guilty and defeated.

That said, i'm on day 9 and would say that the cravings I deal with daily are 1/100 of those I faced on day 1-5(I dipped 1-2 tins per day). So it gets much better, much faster.
