GLORIOUS!!!

So, I didn't realize I was doing it, but I posted my daily recap as part of another post. Anyway, here is the end of day 4. Looking forward to a better day. Ironically, the stronger I find the urge, the angrier I get, and thus the stronger my resolve. You no longer run this vessel. I've chosen a more natural fuel.

Day 4 ended on a frustrating note. Misunderstanding at home and on here add to the lies within. I could go buy a can, pack it real nice, and pack my lip, but what will I solve? My wife will not understand my need to spend my time on here reading success and failure stories. If anything, I would have proven her point by getting angry, going to the store, and giving up. Her doubts in me would be proven right. If I choose to give in, your doubts in me would be proven right. Mostly, if I choose to give in, my belief in me would prove to be wrong. I am more than what is seen. I know who I am. I am a quitter! I quit today! 4 days clean and 5 will be seen.

Also, I have found the Popsicles with the jokes to be surprisingly efficient. It's like being a child again. Grape, Cherry, and Orange. May need an intervention there in the future. 'Crazy'

Man i can still feel that suck i went through when i read what you write. You're doing this! keep strong through it all, eyes on the prize-- one day at a time! As for the popsicles, whatever it takes to keep the crap out of your mouth, do it! This is an all-out battle for a while, and soldiers get messy! Keep it up!

I think we all go through quite a bit of recalibration at first and it's on such a massive scale that we want to hide from it.

I think you absolutely realize the lie of nicotine now... it didn't solve anything. Ever. In fact... it made everything much worse by taking away your/our ability to just deal with shit. It was an evil pacifier. This may sound weird but... revel in how much this sucks right now. Wear it with pride that you're winning.

You... are winning for the first time against that shit.

Awesome.

Another day, another victory in the making, right DBrown? how's today starting out? The rewiring IS tough at times. Sometimes you just gotta get through it minute by minute. Overall, it's about to start getting better already. You'll still have hard times, but you're cleaning up and rewiring. All sorts of shit is being flushed from your body.You'll get breaks from the discomfort- soak them in, they are tastes of what freedom can be like. Then bear down to get through the next one. Minute by minute if that's what it takes!

Nice job logging the beginning of the suck in the intro- keep building that quit!

Im still quite irritable. I have a few sore spots in my mouth. I had a crave so bad about 0230 that I had to put in a Smokey Mountain. It did the trick. I got through that episode and haven't had one since. I was hoping I could stop that as well, but I will not view it as a defeat. I haven't put tobacco in, so I am still winning at quitting. I have still kept holed up in my house. Im going to force myself up and back at it tomorrow. I work weekend nights so my schedule is out of the normal. Sleep has been good. Headache is much weaker. Each day I grow stronger, but today is in front of me. I will not dwell in yesterday, nor search in tomorrow. This moment, I am a quitter! Quit now and reclaim yourself!

ODAAT and at times 10 minutes at a time! Use smokey mountain and don't feel guilty, be damn happy every second there's no nicotine entering your body! Stay focused and use us, use your tools, just remember how bad you really want this, there's over 28000 here that says this can be done. Quit on

Day 3 has been rough. I have only had water, nothing else. I feel like Im sick. My stomach is all tore up. My throat hurts, and the acid reflex is nasty. My mouth feels swollen and tender. My head feels like an elephant is sitting on it. Im tired and cranky. The only time I have moved is to use the bathroom, or switch couch/bed. I haven't spent anytime with my family, because I dont want to be irritable with them. The greatest part of this day.... I still dont want to pack my lip. I haven't even used the Smokey Mountain today. Im working on my third water. I am weak and whiny, but I am NOT a slave to the can. This too shall pass. Thankful for a place to vent.

Awesome to here your almost out of the suck and heading into the fog. With this attitude you got it man if you need anything digits etc mine are a PM away

Dbrown its time to dig deep down and put on the big boy britches and let's get this done. All that going on with you is your body trying to function without that shot in your mouth. It's actually trying to heal itself. More stuff will probably happen to you but one thing im sure quitting has never killed anyone! Damn proud to be quit with you!

Fact is, it may not kill me...

Oh, but, it already has/is/will...

You're not the real you... yet.

That person has been put to death because of your/our addiction.

Here's the amazing thing, though... you can resurrect that guy. But... you have to put in some work. A lot of work, actually. Diligent work. Purposeful work. Sacrificial work.

Redeeming work.

Freeeom comes at a price and getting involved with the KTC method is it. Trust me... do it. Be free, bro. The release of the need to manage your addiction is... glorious.

Never been one to fond of change. Nonetheless, change is needed occasionally. October 1, 2016 I decided to take my life back. I never realized the control I had let dip take. I originally started dipping back in 2002 as a way to stop smoking. Well, that worked because I haven't touched a cigarette since that night. Foolishly I told myself, "hey in getting married no sense in killing us both". I was getting married and thought somehow saving my spouse was a heroic act. I didn't realize that the can would ultimately consume me worse than the pack ever had. I am a creature of habit. I know I didn't start out with my philosophy, but along the way it became, Dip 24-7. Empty lip=need dip. Wake up? Dip. Shower? Dip. Drive? Dip. After food? Dip. Study? Dip. Watch TV? Dip. Well, you get the point. I spit one out, its time for another. I am tired of being controlled. I have decided today and each and every day to live in the facts. Fact is, it may not kill me, but it isnt adding anything to the relationship. Fact is, people quit and I am a people, lol. Fact is, i cant change my past, i am not sure of tomorrow, but I know today. I know now, and now I choose to live. I choose to take back my life today! I wont give in til I'm Victorious! I quit!

Welcome DBrown,
I like your energy and drive, make it happen and post roll everyday.
This is a grind, it is hard to quit an addiction but if I can do it, so can you!

Congratulations on finding the way to freedom-- you honestly can't even begin to know what it feels like, yet. But you can earn it, step by step--- it ain't easy but it's simple- follow the method here, give it all you have- the more you put in, the more it can stick. You are changing a way of life, as you are aware, so it is a bit of an investment and work to learn to do things differently.

Welcome to your new life!

You can do this. If I did, you can too. I dipped two cans a day for twenty something years and quitting has been the hardest yet best thing I've ever done. I can tell you without a doubt I couldn't have done it without this site and the Friends I have made here (like the ones who have written to you here already) ODAAT Bro!

I was exactly the same way man....two cans a day with almost no break in between dips. That shit was always in my mouth when I wasn't sleeping (I probably would of dipped in my sleep too if I could do it). Hope to see you on the forums and rocking your quit. PM me if you ever need anything.
