Hanko,
Wake up each morning, tell yourself you hate that shit, you hate the people that make it, you hate what they did to you all these years and no matter what you will NEVER give them one cent of your money again.

Your quit can be as difficult or as easy as you want it to be. Your mind is a powerful weapon. How you choose to use it during your quit is up to you. If you wake up each day and convince yourself you like it, miss it, want it then your journey will be very difficult.

If however you wake up each morning and tell yourself I hate that shit, I am better off without it, I will NEVER use it again. I thik you will find the road a little smoother to travel.... this is as much a mental battle as it is a physical one.

STAY QUIT

Get past 72 hours and you will have completed phase 1 of the quit. Still many tough times ahead, but...you will have gotten all nicotine out of the system.

I'm with you BeerBottleSpittoon. Beef jerky and chew go together like peanut butter and jelly, at least it used too. Every hour is a challenge, but I feel good even though I feel like crap!

Thanks Bean! I going to look into a quit plan on my lunch break...Your right, when that point of weakness comes, I'mgoing to need a plan. I got the no Chantex tip from this site, I feel better/stronger doing this completly free of medication.
I noticed after a couple of days, althought i was still having cravings, Physically, I felt alot better.

Love to see so much quit going on!!! Great job Hanko and Beerbottle...just white-knuckle it if you have to and stay glued to this site. Just post your word and get through today. Don't think about tomorrow...just today. Anybody can quit for one day, right?

You can do it! We're in this together. Stay strong.

Hanko - I'm going to sleep and heading into day 3 of my quit. What does day three mean to me? A milestone. Because the last two days have been a non stop hell full of cravings...flashes of chew in my mouth after taking a sip of soda...or a post lunch fullness satisified by a fresh dip. If only I could have a chew. I would feel so much better. Fuck that man. No more NICOTINE. It's not the chew we're quitting. I'm here with you and let's quit together.

Congrats Hanko!!! That's we way it is done...one day at a time. Now is the time to sure up your quit plan. What are you gonna do to beat the Nic Bitch's calls?

Get numbers, send IM's or whatever you have to. Posting roll is a given, but what else? Make a plan so you're not caught unprepared.

I'm totally with you on Chantix. I didn't want anything to dull the pain. I wanted to feel it and develop a hatred for nic. Best way to do this is what you're doing....cold turkey! Congrats, bro!!!

Day one ending. I spent 90% of my day thinking about a chew. I feel strong for not giving in. I even stopped for gas today!

I've picked up on the sincere concern people have here. I didnt get my Chantex prescription filled. I think this forum is what I need not medication. I will feel more like I quit if I do it without medication. Numbers is what I need, day one is painful!

Feel the pain, embrace the suck and most importantly, remember how you feel right now. Never go back.

Hanko,

I'm only 36 days into my quit but everything said on this site is helpfull to someone and all the people on this site have a goal to help you quit. I know you can do it. It is a long road and not easy but your quit each day post roll and get some numbers. I also read you first post and I have turned into a hypochondriac as well. I managed to quit at the same time I started to feel like crap for my health. I have found out I have a thyroid issue (Not to common for men but it does happen) and your thyroid can cause alot of symptoms but not usually to bad of an issue as long as you take care of it with your doctor. I should be able to live life with not issues once they get my thyroid meds adjusted. That said the symptoms of quiting the Nic combined with the health issue sucks but there is no way I'm going back to being a slave to the can (This site and the people on it has been a key to my quit and always will). To tell you how much Nic can get ahold of you I still crave it even when I thinking (hypochondraic) I have some bad health issue.

I'm a little long winded sorry about that. over all post roll and get some numbers and we are all here to help you free your self from the can.

Life is two short, so man up and be a quitter today!!!!!!!
