day zero - tired of the lies

[Erussell]

Since you went to bed I hope you don't read this until time to post, I hope you sleep a full night. Okay go post roll and get you game face on again today. We are August. We practice winning everyday. You only have to promise for today. And once you make that promise we will not break it. I am happy to quit with u today!

THANKS!! ktc.. still kicking. went to supper with wife.
watching tv and winding down for the night.

Some waves of suck but shit happens. Getting bout bedtime for this old man.

[srans]

Nebraskadad, how you holding up man? It's tough just keep going dude. I quit with you!

erussell,

moving on along. 47 hours into it. one hour left at work, then home..

thought about getting a can of the fake stuff on way home. Gum sucks.

Had kind of a rush at the kwiktrip on way back from lunch, asked if they had the "fake stuff" smokey mountain, he was pushing me toward the nicotine smokeless cigs.
took the gum and boogied.

to get the fake stuff you got to face the devil himself at the tobacconist.
armed with knowledge doesn't do it. belief that i'd let my wife down, let you guys down, let myself down, and let my higher power down, is guiding me right now.

Here is my thought on the fake stuff....if it works for you then by all means do it till you drop...as for myself...even if i fake it with the "fake stuff" i know i am giving myself permission to put something in my mouth that emulates the very thing i'm trying to quit. BEAR DOWN!!!

I agree with Jayd41 on both points...if the fake stuff helps, use it. But, I really like the second point...BEAR DOWN! You can do this!

Embrace the suck. When a trigger or a cave comes along, don't duck, hide or substitute something else...take it head-the-fuck-on!!! Tell the Nic Bitch that she's gonna have to do better than that because you shut her shit down down for today when you posted roll and gave your word. It abso-fucking-lutely ain't gonna happen today. Done.

Most craves only last a few minutes. Of course, at first they are very frequent, but only last a few minutes. So, take a walk, push-ups, water, exercise, whatever non-nicotine activity you want. I kept a can of the fake stuff in my golf bag and one in the truck just in case. Then after a couple of months, I trashed them, too...and wish I had done it sooner.

YOU CAN DO THIS, BROTHER!!!

NBAdad,, your over 48 hours,, that's bad ass. Not getting ahead,, but two more days of this and the physical part is over. Then the real healing begins. All the damage you've done over the years will now be repaired. You have started to reclaim your life. Your life no longer belongs to the nic bitch.

For 48 hours you've been taking your life, freedom, health and dignity back. I'll bet that's two can's of shit you haven't spent your hard earned money on. Your now beginning to own this quit,, how do I know?? I haven't read much from you today,, this tells me your taking care of business.

One day at a time my friend. I promise,, as each day goes by, things get so much easier.

Yea I didn't use the fake stuff, just seemed like to much effort to get ahold of for not as much benefit. I love seeds and the fake stuff I don't think would trick my brain enough so best to get my brain to forget by keeping it busy on seeds rather than what would most likely be a feeble attempt to deceive my addiction. Just my plan everyone is different. You have in ere man. Lot of post on your subject! You got a lot of folks pulling for you. I quit with you this evening!

Ex Ninja dipper here as well. 

Hang in there it does get better with time.  I can tell you it does feel great to be able to spend time with the wife without thinking of ways to sneak off for a dip.  I wish I could have all the stolen time back.  I remember sneaking away from Christmas dinners and holidays to get a dip in.  What honey, we need a bag of ice...Sure I will go get it, and take the long way back...

LOL you have my number.. the bag of ice you been around my house man? LOL

I used to dread family vacations because I could not dip. I would sneak off during vacations, buy a can, take two dips and throw it away before going back to hotel. One time I transferred a can into a ziplock bag so I could sneak it on a cruise ship. Once on the ship I hid my baggy in a planter....I don't miss that lifestyle

I read all 4 pages of your introduction. Hang in there buddy. I quit with you today.

I found the Oliver Twist pluglets for Vacation. small can fit stealth mode perfect. put in a plug it would last all afternoon.

on my first 24 hours...hang in there...i have quit before for a few months only to fall back to it, however, i didn't have as much support from people that knew exactly what i was going through like we do here. Lean on these guys...i have a ton of confidence in myself now that i have talked to a few people on here...cheers!

Proud of you. Keep plugging away. I will be available today, call if you need to.

It does get easier, I promise.

thx OF.

He's right. Man, EVERYTHING gets better as your quit goes on. You and your wife will both see that. I'm the best man I've been since the late 80s. Life is good bro. Fight through these first days and you'll love it.
