with the help of this site, quit for almost 3 years, started up again with covid bullsht.  Transitioning from tobacco free pouches to nicotine free chew hopefully early next week.  Ready for hell again!  Remind me where I can start posting roll?

You need to throw out everything now!!  Addicts always quit tomorrow.  Hope is not a strategy.

Cold Turkey is how we roll here.

Flush it all now, and go post your name, day 1, and promise to never use nicotine in any form for the next 24 hours.

You will be in the June 2021 Quit Group.

You know the drill.

-Jeff

So I haven't been sleeping so Ill wake up early off no sleep post roll then go back to bed. Does it matter when I post roll if its within the day period? Because Ive been sleeping in like crazy. I slept today til like 3:00 oclock but happened to be up way earlier so i just posted for the day at like 430 am...
Whenever you post, that is your word for that day. Sleep patterns will return to your normal cycle in time. It's part of the process. If you take the time to read through some of the intros, you will see all sorts of mindfucks in the early stages of many a quitter.
There were days when I couldnÂ’t even get out of bed. The nicotine you were ingesting all day long is now gone. Your brain (and body) is desperately looking for it. Tobacco is engineered to work this way by design. Great job posting day 3 today! ItÂ’s good to be quit with you.

Hello, i am on Day 42 of no nicotine. I have been reading this sites posts everyday to help my anger at not being able to take a dip. This is my first time using this site as a member though. So im a little confused on how to post roll.

yeah im in the process of getting off some medication i was on for a couple years as well so its gotta be a real nasty bitch overall. Luckily, I took some time off work to get 100 percent clean off errythang. I've been training in the gym until I can't breath or walk which is great for endorphins so that and this forum will be my foundation hopefully. And thanks bro, appreciate the advice.
You posted a day 1!! Now go day 2 tomorrow as soon as you wake up. Good job man! Smoky Mountain saved my butt.
Wake, piss, post, repeat. Once your word is given, nicotine is off the table for the day. Anyone can do anything for 24 hours. That is all we ask.

yup ordered wintergreen bacc off non-tobacco and was able to get a couple more of smokey's wintergreen from this hunting store I found to hold me over tonight. Going on almost 24 hours. What day was the worst for you?
Day 3 was roughest for me as far as cravings go. Distract yourself as much as possible. I started doing intense amounts of yardwork as a rage project. Also im a big fan of the Shock your body technique. Can't think about dip if your so cold you can't breathe.

Yeah ive had a real tough time with this. ...from rereading the literature ive decided to go the non nicotine fake chew route, anyone have a recommendation for something similar to grizz wintergreen? I want to amazon overnight some to help w the oral fixation
Smokey mountain isn't bad and its pretty cheap. Grind's serves a purpose, but doesn't feel much like dip because its in the pouches.

You got this shit man. Come on. Get a group and make a promise. Get some accountability. Sending a PM with my digits in them if you can post roll and you can at least text me, you can stay quit. We've all been through the shit. Theres a clearing on the other side, I'm only a month in right now and I'm already feeling 10x better about life on most days.

It's gonna suck, but grab some fake shit, if you cant get fake shit in time for the cravings tonight, throw some fucking jerky in your lip.

Don't quit tomorrow, quit right the fuck now, go dump your tin down the toilet take a piss on it and flip it off as it swirls away from you. Shit is done controlling your life.

Walmart has Smoky Mountain in multiple flavors. IÂ’m certain thatÂ’s one of them. It works when youÂ’re struggling bud. Flush the real stuff post roll and letÂ’s do this!
