day 5

[cdaniels]

So on the night of 4 weeks quit I had my first dip dream. Early on I had crazy dreams where I'm wrestling bears n shit which I associated with quitting, but this dream was REAL! I was driving around with friends  the whole time I had a Dip in. I Was telling myself to spit it out, get rid of it now  you'll be ok, that I didn't want it, but for some reason I couldn't spit it out...just kept driving  chewing until I woke up going WTF!... i was pissed I had just fucked up after a month, pissed I needed a new group,  worst of all my days quit was back to 0.
I guess my sub-conscious still really wants a chew. Fortunately, when I'm awake I prefer to quit that dirty shit

stay strong Flyby. Your a bad ass and you got this. proud of you.

It is crazy for me to think I haven't chewed or smoked in 23 days. 23 days of golf, work, drinking, working out, moving, even breaking up with a chick, more work  just plain old doing my thing all without nicotine.

I freaking crave it every damn day still!! That said, I love this battle. I love it because I know it is completely up to me. If I can't drink  hangout around smokers without smoking, than I'm a fucking weakling who'll never quit. If I can't go to the gas station before a road trip  NOT by a skoal can, then my life  health are worthless. Both NOT true! I Know I'm better than nicotine  tobacco. I know that WE ALL are so much better than being addicted to something this fucking NASTY  EVIL.

I love counting my days! I'm stoked for 1 month. I know I know 1 day atta time. One DAMN day atta time. I don't care what happens in my life I know nicotine will not make it better. So on day 23 I promise no nicotine today!

That is some heavy bad ass quit TALK right there...... I sprung major quit wood! You are right, it's a personal battle with help from KTC mixed in.

I quit with you today

Ok man do it. Nut up go post roll and clean the house car and hiding spots out of all the shit u got and doit. I will quit with you bro. Come join August with me.

Done did it! Getting all the spitters out of my room was first, cleaning the car was next,  finding this website was 3rd.

Awesome!

Awesome!!!!!!

Day 8 today! It hasn't been easy, but I've made it this far. I know I'm by no means in the clear from my addiction, but it seems to be getting easier to deal with these cravings. I'm proud of the fact that I'm now addicted to beef jerky, gum,  toothpicks instead of skoal straight  marlbros. Exercise above all has helped me the most (even just walking)! Thanks to all the August quitters for the support! You really do help! Good luck everyone!

Good job flyby pm me for my digits. I will quit with you today and for now on. Your story is like mine but I am 100 days ahead of you this site is awsome and liberating to say the least. Use the site to your advantage and use the contacts that are reaching out to you. No good luck here it is just plain quit and keep quit one day at a time.

Thanks kite. This site is awesome! It's great having so many people around who understand. Everyone genuinely wants/expects success for each other. Everyone's story is different, but in the end they're all the same: We all are Nic addicts who have FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT.

So I guess it's time to write my story. For 5 days now I've been reading story after story, and it seems like each one relates directly to me.  I started stealing my grandma's cigs when I was in approx 3rd grade. I had my first Kodiak dip in my friends closet in 6th grade. I wasn't smoking and chewing this entire time, but it def got me used to that euphoric nicotine feeling that we all love. I always knew that I shouldn't be doing it, but that just added to the pleasure.
Fast forward 15 yrs and nothing has changed. I chew when I don't wanna smoke, and I smoke when I don't wanna chew. I smoke when I drink with my friends, and I chew by myself. I chew after a workout and smoke after work. It really has gotten bad! Honestly, I've been trying to quit for years now. Maybe not "quitting", but just taking breaks. I just tried "quitting" last month!! Didn't work!!

So here I sit, admittedly an addict, knowing that this shit is killing me slowly. . I watched my grandma be on O2, fucked from dementia, couldn't move, but knew she needed a smoke!! The thing driving her to her grave is what kept her alive. I DON'T WANNA DIE LIKE THAT!
I'm 30 now  want nothing more than to be healthy. How do I do that?? Quit tobacco forever. The time has to be now, I cannot wait. My mouth hurts, my lungs hurt, my body hurts. Life is too short to be worried about getting my Nic fix. I'm over it.
I know this won't be easy, but reading post after post allows me to believe in a nicotine free life. Good luck to everyone quitting with me one day atta time.

Use the site and everyone here. You are in control of today. Plan ahead for the weekend and stick close to the support. Pm me if you need anything.

Hey drue.. Welcome,, quick question,, half way through your post you stated "It's killing me, but I HAVEN'T stopped yet".. At the end you stated Good luck to everyone that is quitting with me".

I'm kinda confused, so I'll hit you with a statement of my own for each of the comments. If you haven't quit, it sounds like you know what it's doing to you. It's time to take your life back. Get rid of anything you got, from the cans to the smokes. It's actually kind of simple really. Knowing what I know now,, I wouldn't even take that last drag, or dip. Get rid of it now.

If you have quit and are finally ready to take your life back, read the welcome center top left. Pay particular attention to the part about posting roll. That's where you make a promise not to use for the day. Your group is the august group.. Bunch of badass quitters in that group that would love to get to know you. If you have trouble figuring anything out pm me.

Yeah I noticed that too...not really how I meant tho. Today is day 6  I've posted roll every morning. I'm Actually kind of enjoying quitting (not breaking), even tho it is a total bitch. I enjoy knowing that at some pt chew will not be the 1st thing I think of every morning, nor the last thing before bed. Not another chew  not another puff!! Thanks guys!
