cold turkey?

I'm thinking brats on the grill tonight...possibly a beverage....i know, random thoughts...but thinking about that keeps my nicotine soaked mind from thinking of the other!

Yeah smokey treat might have been a poor choice or words...

I to have been victimized. It is our fault that we didn't think before we hit the enter key. I tried to cover my mistake, but like you, it was to late. All you can do is hope that it gets lost. The more posts you create The further into computer eternity it goes. Mine, has, i think been forgotten, but I'm always in fear it will return. I quith you today.

Jay you got this. Post roll in the am no matter how bad it gets we posted roll, we keep our damn promise, and its that fucking simple. We are August!

And yes Jeremy two days is extremely impressive!

The fog or the suck that is mentioned on here (and i have endured it before) is slowly starting to kick in. I ran a bit this morning which i think helped but holy hell am i out of shape! My on again off again relationship with smoking has left me a little winded! But...feeling energized to keep this quit going! Thanks for all the support!

The suck or fog will not disappear over night but it will clear up -

Drink as much water as you can and then some more

Stay on that running program - recommend Couch to 5K to keep you engaged with a goal

One day at a time is the only way to attack this quit. We poisoned our bodies for years (3.5 decades in my case) so don't expect to wake up tomorrow and everything be peachy. If you ran today for the 1st time in awhile - your body is going to revolt!!

Stretch it out and stay the course!1

So far so good today...hope all of my quitting buddies are doing well today. Although it's only been a day and half i am starting to feel a little better, trust me I know its going to get goofy sometimes. But reading all the stories and advice sure does help. It's very hard to have my morning coffee, but i made the decision to have it anyways, that gives me power over chew, and i actually had some beverage last night and didn't use the gum (which is what i used around my wife). Keep on fighting the good fight! There is a saying around here, Boiler Up and Hammer Down!

Jay, You Boiler up and Hammer down Brother, I am beside you, and Yes this august buddy is doing fairly well. I am proud as shit to be 10 days!!!! I quit with you today Jay!

As much as i do like my job and look forward to maybe owning my own lot one day soon...the down time that a car salesman addicted to nicotine adds an extra little obstacle!  Boredom is and will always be my biggest trigger, along with about 100 others...luckily i have this board to keep my company!  It also wouldn't hurt if someone would come buy a fuckin car off of me!

I quit with you all for the next hour...

Coming from someone who works in construction, I understand where you are coming from on dipping being a way of life at work. I have successfully made it two days without a pinch(I know thats not impressive but damn I'm proud of myself lol). I have found that chewing a whole shit load of sunflower seeds has really helped keep the cravings in check. Between keeping my mouth busy and just sheer determination to be done with this addiction it feels like I can make it through this, and if I can make it so can you!

Just realize that dip helped you in no way, shape or form at work. It made you think it was helping you. You didn't need it at work, never did. I know it's really hard to turn stuff right now early in your quit. I just want you to start seeing the other side of it. The sooner you start seeing it for what it is the sooner the healing begins.

Nicotine addiction makes you think, you can't work, play, or love without it. Let me tell you that you most certainly can. Eventually you need to start building up hate for this awful addiction. Think about how it's making you feel right now. Your wondering how your going to make it through a day a at work,, well you will. It's that simple. Millions of people do it everyday,, why can't you? There is a great line I heard from a bad ass quitter. Astronauts have landed on the moon without it,, I think you can make it a day at the car lot without it. Astronauts quote by none other than diesel,, I think him for his quotes.

Quit on jay. Your rocking this quit and i'm glad to be quit with you.

Dipping at work was my one time a day when I could dip without restraints. So learning how to work without dipping is the first challenge you have to get over. Chew gum, seeds, anything other than dip. After a couple days of not using it gets easier.

Remember, just quit one day at a time, or like I had to do one hour at time for the first couple days.

Remember every moment of this. I actually took notes during my suck. Remember it. Embrace it. Relax and breach and yes hour by hour helps. Wtf ever it takes just don't cave! You got this man. If I did you can doit. There is sunlight on the way just stay in the tunnel. I quit with you this very second.

[jayd41]

Listen Jay you are now entering the hardest part. Sure we will all have tough moments that suck for time to come, but hang in there we are here struggling with you. One reason we all want to help is it reminds us how painful the suck was so we are reminded why it is we can't let our guard down for even a moment as we never want to experience that again, ever. A reminder also that we are not alone and that by joining this site we have surrounded ourselves with people we want to be like, !!!badass quitters!!!! I can hear the sound in your post your in pain, dude minute by minute brother don't give up, you stay the coarse damn it, you promised. We are quitting with you right now!

Could this day take any longer!!! I quit with you all this hour and the next...i think i'll have to break my quits down by the hour....i think i'll drive myself crazy waiting for the day to end! Thanks!!
