Day 1 in the books. Parts were tough, I think the worst is how off balance and kind of disconnected I felt all day. Good thing I had plenty of distractions, and found a nearby fake (no tobacco, no nicotine) chew place pretty close. Alos ordered my sample of smoky mountain tonight.
The problem is not the problem.  The problem is your attitude about the problem.  Do you understand?

I made the most important decision of my life last night, and today I am carrying out the plan.  I am leaving the tobacco using community for good.

I have been a 1/2 to 1 can a day dipper (mainly cope or grizzly straight) for 10+ years.  From the drive into work till just before bed, every 2 hours like clockwork.  I would find myself watching the clock, just waiting for my 2 hour's to be up.  I think I had convinced myself that if I waited the two hours I was in control.   'bang head'

Well, I want the control back.  a cousin pointed me to this site, I did some reading and realized it was time. 

Lets Do this!
Yep, I was always looking for the perfect time to quit. Amazingly, I never found it. No better time to quit than right-the-fuck-now. Glad to be quit with you.

I notice you say you are done with tobacco. You probably know this, but just to make sure, this site demands that you be nicotine free. When you post roll, you are promising not to use nicotine in any form that day.

Welcome.
Yep, nicotine free. No gum, patches, smokes, etc.

poor choice of words on my part.


whew, triggers 1, 2, and 3 (drive to work, post coffee, and post lunch) are past me. cant say its been easy, but gotta start somewhere.
Good job getting past triggers. I'm 18 days quit. I'm no expert, but for some reason this one day at a time thing works if you're committed. It's tough to tell the nic whore that you will never see her again, but it's a lot easier to tell her "not today." Then get up tomorrow and do the same thing.

Great Quit so far. Remember each of those milestone triggers that you overcome. They will give you strength in overcoming the next trigger. Proud to be quit with you!!

Congrats on making choice to kick the nic bitch. Sounds like you have already been reading up, which is a great thing. These guys (and gals) on here are great and can help you as long as you help yourself.

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
