Hello all its been 4 days since I had my last dip of snuff. A little bit of back ground bio of me I'm 29 male firefighter like the outdoors in all ways , I haven't had any withdrawal symptoms that I could detect and the wife hasn't said anything about my behavior or attitude.I am useing the Smokey Mountain Herbal snuff just so I can have that feeling of something in the lip.I know its a up hill battle but I'm ready for the climb.

Good Job Dave, hope you have made it through your first week. I am on Day 67 of my quit. It gets easier, then it gets hard, then it planes out for a few weeks, then repeat.

Stay with it. At first I thought the Smokey Mountain tasted like shit, but like you, I needed something. Still using Smokey today, but plan on dropping that after Day 100.

Good Luck and keep up the quit.

Today marks a week, right? Congrats! The chemical is gone now. But the mental game has just begun. Here's how you're gonna win that too...

I know you've heard it a million times. But ONE DAY AT A TIME is going to get you through this. Think about what that means...kick the Nic Bitch's ass each day all over again.

Here's the "one day at a time" mindset. What's done is done. That is that past...nothing you can do about it. The future isn't here yet...nothing you can do about it. But today is right here in your face...and you sure as shit can control yourself right now. Post roll, keep your word, read all you can on this site and live free.

A week is huge, brother. YOU ARE DOING THIS!!!

Get to know some folks.  Send some PMs and texts, contact some quitters, and basically make a few waves.  That way somebody will notice if you start having trouble.  Quitting in the fire service ain't easy.  You're most likely surrounded by nicotine.  Overcome that fact.  Be the toughest dude on your crew..... the one that is bad enough to beat addiction.

Adapt.  Overcome.  Never weaken.
I agree with radman. I was pumped up my first couple weeks. A lot of the time, I was like,, I got this no problem. The 30s hit me. I discovered the nic bitch was no joke. For me it came when my brain started to get a taste of reality. The mind games can wear you out. They come in spurts and want to destroy your quit. You have a long road ahead. When your feeling good prepare for the storm. One day at a time. I quit with you.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Welcome Dave,

My advice is to start out by reading everything you can on this site, starting with the WELCOME CENTER, and the Words of Wisdom.
When you understand what it means to post roll, and can live up to that promise, do so. This place is not the empty promise you have given yourself many times in the past. I'll be watching for you brother! PM me if you need anything or have questions.
