Hello, Intro

[Grizzlyhasclaws]

Sean don't worry about eating for now it won't kill you and soon you will be able to work on killing those extra #'s.  After making headway in our addiction many of us find other weaknesses that we want to address.  For now nicotine must be #uno,  it's also advisable to avoid alcohol for a couple months especially if it is a trigger.

We'll, uhh I did have a few glasses of wine, but did not slip up. Was already drinking when I read that post. I will see what I can do to substitute water for wine over the next few weeks.

My last can is still sitting on my desk, right next to my spit cup. (Coffee cup, meticulously clean and stain free, scrubbed with steel wool to hide the grossness of dip). I have seen it the last two nights while playing video games. Did not touch it or even try to take a wiff of it!!! I totally forgot about it while playing games, which is strange cause that was my prime dip time.

I am trying to plan how to dispose of that cup. Been using it for at least 8 years.. Perhaps out to the desert for some target practice?

Made it thru the second night even with a few glasses of wine... Made it thru today altogether. Time for bed.

I see the point about not worrying about eating, as it is by far the lesser of two evils.

Thanks for the encouragement and words of wisdom. C u on day 3!!!

You need to flush that can ASAP. That is a temptation that needs to be destroyed before it comes back to bite you in the ass. At this point in your quit, your mind will probably convince you "not to waste it" or some other BS addict talk. Just get rid of it.

As for the oral fixation, a lot of guys around here use seeds or chew gum like mad, or else use jawbreakers, Smokey Mountain, Jake's Mint Chew, and some other items I can't remember right now. Don't be afraid to give any one of these a try, whatever it takes to stay quit.

Roger that....that tin is gone. No temptation in easy reach. Done with day 3. Gotta go do roll call now, site wasn't available most of the day. Thanks for the advice from this post and the ones that came after.

Excellent. All in is the way. It's how you save your own life. I quit with you today.

Stay strong Wolfe. We can do this.

I thought I posted this reply a half hour ago, but I can't find it..

Anyways looks like you're a few days ahead of me. I'll be right behind you until we cross that HOF milestone!!

We will do this!

Yeah. Not sure why you still have a can if you quit. C'mon man get with it. Also there is no "slipping up". That's bullshit man. Get with it. We don't pussy foot around with our quitting here. You can take that weakness elsewhere. We fucking quit and we fucking mean it. Don't be a pussy ass caver. Flush that dog shit immediately and get on board with the program.

Dude, your talking like this is some kind of game. Are you serious about this quit or not? Like grizz said, you need to flush everything. And just toss that stupid ass cup in the trash and quit playing around. Its not cool that you dipped or have a special spitter. Its fucking gross. Trash it and take this seriously

Thank you to all of the replies  the encouragement.

Day two physical symptoms kicking in (419PM now). Better than yesterday (12:30pm). You know, the aching mouth, jaw, teeth.. the "feed me nic" ache.. Plus the weird feeling in your head..

Anyway, I think this is progress... The "though stuff" came 4 hours later on day 2 than it did on day 1.

I seem to want to cram stuff in my mouth.. Trying to do water as much as I can. I can just see myself substituting FOOD for the chew... Did you guys /gals have problems with eating too much post-quit ?

Whoever founded this site and the people on it deserve a big thanks! Didn't really realize everyone has done, will do, did do, has experience all the same stuff as I did, both post and pre quit.

It's nice to know what to expect. Just knowing there are quit-vets around means a lot.

Thanks fellas!
Sean

Sean I'm on day 30 and still having hourly struggles with the nic bitch after a 37 year habit. I've substituted gum and food for the cravings and I've gained about 7 pounds this month. I need to address the weight gain but I'm going to accept it until I hit my 100 day hall of fame. After that, I'll tend to the weight gain. Good luck Sean and know that we all have been where you are and I promise it does get easier (slowly but surely, just more slowly than surely!).

[slinger]

Welcome, Sean. You're in the right place and you're almost through the worst of it. Stay strong and stay close to this site. If you need a number or anything, PM me.

[MonsterMedic]

Welcome. Glad to have you here. Reach out to people here and exchange numbers. It helps to have someone to text who knows what you're going through when you get a craving. This forum is only as useful as you allow it to be. Get involved. You'll certainly receive any encouragement you need. Encourage others as well; it helps.

Great decision Thewolfe! You are in the hardest part of your quit and are still having physical withdrawal symptoms. But, you can do this! All of us have gone thru this. I've probably posted this 50 time now, but I chewed for 33 years and I'm now 46 days quit. This site will give you the support you need, so use and stay quit. Don't forget to post roll everyday. It is important. PM me if I can help.
