2moro day

[Its_Got2Happen]

Right, the suck is getting better, the cravings are getting further apart, but the big test is to come. I have just about made it through the week but have yet to touch a weekend. This one is going to pretty much on the down low. Maybe have a beer at home, so it shouldn't be to tough. Unless I get outside working then it will be really bad. I picked up an extra pack of gum and bag of seeds to keep me going.

I did find a can last night that I missed on my clean out, when I went to dump it out the smell of the wintergreen about made my yack. How the heck did I ever shove that stuff in my lip. But on the other hand I did about shed a tear watching it dissolve into brown nothingness. I hope to God that is the last one I find. Even though I thought it was disgusting my brain wanted it, my hands wanted to shove one in, it took a very conscious effort to make sure that my body did not just go into auto mode and do what it is used to doing.

A lot of us know that feeling of revulsion and attraction at the same time! Back in the 80's the dealers used laxative to cut the coke so when a former user saw cocaine after quitting sometimes they would shat themselves! Its a bit like that.

Day 5 is awesome, keep it going, quit with you today!

PS: Smokey Mountain herbal dip is an acceptable alternative if you feel like you can't live without something in your lip. Its available at Walmart, has no nicotine, and tastes like wintergreen hammered corn silk but it helped me survive my first couple of weeks. After a while, I didn't want it anymore and I haven't used it in a long time.

You're doing great! Keep up the hard work. This is all about you being dedicated and focused on your quit. It is the most important thing in your life right now. Take back your life brother! Save yourself! This is for you and you alone. It will get much much better, I guarantee it. Stay strong.

I quit with you today.

Sounds like you're doing well. Keep a positive attitude because it keeps getting better everyday! Some days it may not feel like it, but it truly does keep getting better.

Holy fuck balls today sucks. Ever since I woke up the day has been a battle. Craving like a mother fucker, trying not to blow up on people, chewing gum seeds jerky candy and anything else I can get my hands on.

The inside of my while mouth feels like I spent the night sucking on sandpaper, my jaw and teeth are killing me, and my motivation and energy is close to a -10.

Welcome to the suck I guess, it's time to nut up and Shut up. See you bright and early at roll.

Like the attitude. Glad to see you have some fight in you. Take each small victory and use those victories to make your quit even stronger. Every time you refuse to give in to one of your triggers, you are taking the power away from that trigger in the future. Focus on today and let every minute strengthen your quit.

Embrace the suck and remember these moments.

I Mhave been chewing for the past 14-15 years, and decided that yesterday was it. After my 4 year old walked up with my can of griz and told me "here dad you need this", I decided that I can't let something else run my life. That I need control.

So far I am doing alright until I woke up 2 hours early craving a pinch. I feel like I am going to chew threw my arm. I never new how much of a hold it had on me. This Shit sucks ass.

Here's to day 2 taking it one hour at a time.

Congrats...Day 2 is huge. You're lucky...your 4 yr old for gave you the wake-up call. My "ah-ha" moment was similar. I was watching one of those "Remembering 9-11" shows. They interviewed a 10 yr old little boy...he had been 2 -3 yrs old when the towers came down killing his father. He described how life had been tough without his dad, how the other dads tried their best to fill in, etc. He said he only had a few vague memories of his dad and some pics. I was watching this with my 3 yr old boy in my lap and a fucking dip in my lip?!!!

That dad lost his life through no fault of his own, and here I was with a fucking dip in my lip?!!! That was it. I got angry at nicotine, at addiction, at myself. I realized that my addiction was going to torture my little boy and family if I didn't do something about it.

So, I spit that shit out right then and there. I didn't know how I was going to do it, but I was good and goddam determined to get rid of nicotine. I welcomed the fog. I wanted to feel the suck. I wanted to go toe to toe with the Nic Bitch to really experience how hard quitting was...and compare it to that little boy's pain.

I developed a healthy hatred towards tobacco and a singularity of purpose on controlling my addiction. There were hard days. Of course, not as hard as disfiguring surgery and feeding tubes. Not as hard as losing to cancer. Not as hard as saying goodbye to loved ones. And certainly not as hard as that little boy wishing he could play catch with his own dad...just one goddam time. But yes, quitting was hard...especially early on. The headaches, anxiety, constipation and sleeplessness...those were hard. But those passed...and they will for you too.

You're lucky because you GET to go through the fog. You GET to feel the suck. You GET to thank your little man for the wake-up call at some point in the future. I'm lucky because my little hero had the guts to be interviewed on TV. Almost every time I post I think of that little boy and thank God for giving him the courage to do that interview. That, and the folks here at KTC, have made all the difference in my life. All you have to do is post roll, read all you can, and repeat.

YOU GOT THIS, BROTHER!!!

Bean, Only half of what you said showed up on my phone. I know what your saying, we just found out a close friend has throat and lung cancer from smoking like a chimney for the last God only knows how long. And I have seen the scars that guys have on their faces from different surgeries caused by dipping. Honestly, deciding to quit isn't the hard part for me, it ignoring that stupid nic voice in the back of my head saying stop at the gas station and get a can on your way home, go look in your tackle box there might be a can there (there's not its at the bottom of the river), blah blah blah blah blah. I don't know how many times (in my own head thank God) I have said shut the bleep up, I got this. Like you said brother the fog, the suck, the pain aint crap when I think about my kids with out me, or some D-bag taking my place. I don't care what kind of pain I have to go threw to be there for them.

Every time i start to crave I just jump on here and read about some the vets and their stories or surf the HoF for a little while until it goes away. I am 95% sure that I got this but its that last 5% that brings right back there to KTC and to all you guys. With all the support I have received in 3 days I can't wait to help dish some out in 100+

Great decision. Be an example to your kid. This is the first step. Congrats on 2 days of freedom! You can do this today!

Welcome to the suck I guess, it's time to nut up and Shut up. See you bright and early at roll.

This is all your body quivering after having a drug removed from it. It doesn't know how to react so much like a toddler it is acting out, trying to make you go back to "normal". You can do this. My advice is keep using this intro just like you have, it will serve as a journal for you later in your quit when you start to forget these days.

It really does get better, you have to want it bad, and just when you do you will begin to see that tobacco and nicotine have fucked up your mind and body for a logn time.

Just remember, quitting won't kill you, but putting that shit in you lip, will kill you. Every time you think you "need" a dip, imagine your son handing you the can.

It sucks, but only for now. Retrain your body and set yourself free from the Nic Bitch's deadly grip!

Stay strong. We all quit with you today.

Hang in there brother! If we can do this, you can. Embrace the suck and rage against the nic bitch. She is trying to deprive your wonderful little boy from having a father! Break the hard times down into moments you can handle. Just focus on the now and breath deep. Remember that the crave will pass with or without nicotine. But, with it they will never get better.
Keep posting here and on roll and before you know it, it won't suck as bad. You are winning!
