I think i'm hovering around the 72 hour mark at the moment.

As I said in my quit group, I woke up at 4am today.  just wide awake.  I had this happen the last time I went a few days without nic.  Felt really shitty at that time, but fell back asleep woke up 3 hours later.

Today is better than yesterday, for sure.  The headaches are almost gone, the cravings are noticeably milder.  It's pretty cool to not be dipping. :D
nice meekster, it gets soooooooo much cooler. Keep fighting you got this

That wakeup call this morning was probably the nic bitch throwing one last tantrum before she left for good. Congrats and keep fighting.
No shit! It really does get better! When I get to feeling weird(best way I can decribe it) I go to a cubs post and stare at the girls! Always works! No more crave! (for nic anyway!) 'boob'

"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."

Absolutely, especially if it helps you focus on your goal, never putting that crap back in your mouth.

How the fuck did you guys do this.
in the beginning....minute by minute.
If you really want to be quit, you will find a way. I was angry at the whole thing and that helped me.

Most importantly....remember how you feel right now....you DO NOT want to go thru this again.
"how the fuck did you guys do this"?

That, my friend, is one of the most beautifully honest question I've ever read on these boards.

It seems nearly impossible to most of us in the beginning...like contemplating climbing Everest. That's why your resolve needs to be incredibly strong. I've said this before: YOU NEED TO BE DESPERATE IN ORDER TO SUCCEED. You've gotta want this as much as you've ever wanted anything before. And even THAT is not a guarantee of success.

If you start with desperation, and then top it off with the ACCOUNTABILITY you find here, your odds are greatly improved.

From my vantage point, standing nearly two years up the hill from you, it's purty easy going...much easier than when I started. Still, your question strikes a cord in me..."how the fuck did we do it"?

Desperation  Accountability. Rinse  repeat.

I think people that quit have an insight into what people with split personalities feel, or split emotions if there is such a thing. I find haggling with myself all the time, going though the full spectrum of emotions. I feel like there is some after school, emotionally uplifting movie playing in my mind for 5 minutes. At the end of which, i hear Rocky music playing, and I tell myself "this is great, why did I wait so long to quit". Two minutes pass, and it's the guy from those corny after school specials... "psst... come on... just one". Once i tell that guy to go practice falling down, I start thinking, "holy shit, forever is impossible." Then I come full circle and just ask myself what I enjoyed about dipping. Sadly the answer is nothing. Which makes me realize that i've been doing something, for what feels like forever, that I get nothing out of. THis makes me depressed, which makes me want to just give up and get dip.

And I find myself 2 minutes later, ready to repeat the above. How the fuck did you guys do this.

It's funny, midway thru every meal, at some point, I have this thought... "can't wait to dip after... oh wait... I forgot..."  Then i giggle a bit, but quietly just to myself.
There will come a day when the thought of putting a dip in your mouth especially right afther you eat will about make you puke. I never thought I would think that, but after 552 days quit I probably would if I packed that shit in now right after a meal!!!! That USED to be one of my favorite times to dip! Congrats on the best decision you will ever make!!!

That leads to us getting lazy and thinking our quits were easy
hahaha, this is so true.

Every time I cave... I say to myself. "that wasn't THAT bad, I can do it again". While the realities are, every subsequent attempt to quit is harder than the previous. For me at least.
It does get harder each time. I have failed many times on my own. There are times I would go a week, two, or a month and give in thinking I could do it again. That is the evil workings of the nic bitch and really not having the support or knowledge to succeed.

This place solved all of that. So much knowledge here. Like I said, I failed many times on my own, but I have not failed here and I WON'T. This place has given me the accountability and the tools I need to move forward. It can do the same for you, if you let it.
