Hey Ya'll

[TheBigThree]

Havent given the fake stuff a try, thinking about buying a can. Right now I just have a bit of the shredded jerkey chew in. I swear my biggest problem is the oral fixation.

Be careful of this thinking. That is nicotine trying to creep back into your head. Your biggest problem is you were addicted to one of the most addictive substances on earth. The oral fixation piece is a microcosm of the bigger problem. I thought the same thing when I started and was crushing a bag of seeds and a pack of gum a day when I first quit. Now I chew seeds once in a blue moon and chew about 3 sticks of gum a week. I didn't have an oral fixation problem, I had a nicotine problem.

I don't say this in any sort of judgmental way. As I said, I pondered the same thing when I first got here. However, if you don't break yourself from this way of thinking, you'll go back to the "I can quit whenever I want" way of thinking. Welcome to KTC and quit like hell today.

Your right. Its the damn nicotine not the oral fixation. Its good to catch this kind of thinking before it goes too far.

Day three, insomnia was pretty awful last night which is surprising cause I normally sleep like a rock. Fog comes and goes. Was definitely feeling the best after my workout yesterday so thats a plus.

It took me almost a month before I stopped waking up at all odd hours. My sleep is still not 100% like it used to be, but it's getting there. don't let the suck make you cave. it want's you to cave. It misses you. but you're stronger. Get through the first couple of weeks and dig in hard. Live on this site. as soon as the nic bitch starts tapping the side of your head going "helloooooo..." come to this site and read intros. I still do. Not only does it take my warped nic addicted brain off the idea of dipping, but it gives me encouragement to know that there are roughly 35,000 other poor bastards in some stage of the quit suck on this site.
Stay strong and use the network!

Sounds like your body is healing itself! Stay strong!

Welcome. You hit the nail on the head, being quit IS freedom! Previous 4th of July's I would have been looking for spitters and embarrassing my family - not this time!

Sugar free gum was my substitute of choice. Early in my quit, I gave myself no limit on how much gum I went through.

Use fake dip, sunflower seeds, fireballs, jolly ranchers. Whatever. As long as it doesn't have nicotine, have at it.

I'm almost six months into my quit, and it hasn't been too long since I quit using the gum. It's taken a long time, but I finally don't need it anymore.

Just stay quit.

Welcome. I saw you in the site earlier, I would recommend reading the intros, speeches and looking at all kinds of member-added stuff on this site. From admin to the newest guy, this place is full of addicts. Find your way here.

Yeah Ive been doing alot of reading around, seems to help a good bit. And thanks Josh appreciate the support! We are in this together.

[Josh87]

Congrats on the quit! I'm on my day 3 here, just keep the attitude that we CAN and WILL accomplish this! I'm doing sugarfree gum and sunflower seeds for the oral part. You've made one of the best decisions in your life, now don't let yourself down!

Gonna go ahead and introduce myself. I've lurked around here on previous "quits" but never posted before. Well this time I've decided that I could use the support, to make sure that shit never touches my mouth again.

-Quit last night after supper, a little over 12 hours with no nicotine.

Great! Glad to be quit with you. You quit yesterday, so this is your day two. Go ahead on over to October, and post roll. That will move you from the lurker category to the active quitter category.

If you're not sure how to post roll, go to the Welcome Center and read up on it.

Make your promise. Keep your promise. It's that simple. It's hard as hell. That's why we do it one day at a time, and early in the day.

Thanks brother. I changed my quit date to show yesterday, so today is day two. Also posted roll in the OCT group. Pretty fitting quit day, America gained her independence on July 4th, and so did I lol.

That's great! You don't know it, but you might have just saved your life.

It's going to be difficult, many times it will feel like it isn't worth it, but I promise that it is! Keep posting, get involved and stay quit!
