tarpon17, damn bro your right cant quit for her, hell if that was the case i would have started back within the day. quitting this shit cause i'm the addict not them.. heading towards day 4 and feeling weird!!!! gonna go have a beer!!! :D
All of the stuff mentioned below works. Seeds and jerky were my saviors. Just be carful with the beer! Idle time and reduced inhibitions to an addict is killer. Ease off on the alcohol for a few weeks until you get your quit established.

What has really taken the edge off for me when the cravings are really bad is I took a can of Bacc Off Straight(fake chew that is extremely dry or maybe mine is old?) and dumped a shot of whiskey in it and let it sit in the fridge.

It really helps me.

Get some coffee straws (the small straws you use to stir your coffee). Cut them in half and use them like a toothpick(about the size of a toothpick). I chewed on them instead of candy, gum, seeds etc.

Beef Jerky works pretty well.. especially when you get some grissle and it lasts forever. If you want to keep it longer.. don't chew it up all the way and pack it in with some flavor still in. David's sunflower seeds offer a bag w/ 1/3 less salt.. should help w/the cheek rawness. Craizens are tasty, do some push-ups etc..

sunflower seeds, Jolly Rancher hard candy, gummi bears, toothpicks, coffee stir straws, fake chew if you must (I personally don't recommend), lots of water.

I have on many occasions had too much sunflower seeds and the salt starts to wreak havoc. Other than that the last I'd offer is to brush your teeth more often. I keep a toothbrush in my car now...

You're doing great. Stay quit and keep hunting too. You will have to re-learn the whole sit still thing but you can do it.

well done Hunter, but remember this. Don't quit for your wife. Quit for you. We've all tried to quit for reasons x, y, and z and failed. We never quit just for us. Now its time. Glad you're part of the quit crew.

@ scowick65 believe me bro i'm reading it because I have a bad addiction to nicotine, going into DAY 3 NOW!! today has been the worse day so far, decided I would go deer hunting this afternoon, I'm sure all the hunters will agree, hunthing on the 3rd day of quitting was not a smart thing to do. After being in the tree stand for about an hour, I had killed the battery on my phone (playing games) ate a bag of jerky, finally decided to just get down and cut a load of firewood. 'bang head' .

God bless my wife, for putting up with my ass right now!!!!

Start reading this site like you are addicted to nicotine or something. We get it. You can quit too. The knowledge is here.

Reach out if you need help. You will get the help you need. I have seen this site rally when someone needs help; it is truly amazing. PM me if you need a quit Sherpa.
