About time

[Queen-T]

Physical cravings are intense today. Glad I threw it out or I would have ate it up. Guy in front of me at the gas station bought 2 cans. Was an armed service man. Was going to pay for him but instead told him I quit yesterday. He just blankly stared at me. My mind is like a marshmallow and not much good to me today. I am having a hard time even talking. Carry on quitters.

Talking is overrated anyway... Just live for yourself, get through each hour, and find something you enjoy. I started a new book and although I can't read for very long it has been nice to find a new "thing" to do with my time..

I'll fuck that camel with you all day long!

Camel-Killer,

Embrace moments like these. Sear them into your memory banks so you will NEVER want to go through another Day 1. This insidious weed is still screwing with your brain (and likely will for several weeks). BUT, you have the tools at your disposal to crush that addiction on a daily/hourly/minutely basis. Use them. Trade digits with your fellow September quitters. You got this. Freedom ain't Free (everything worth having comes at a price), but the price is INFINITELY worth it!

I will just say no matter how bad the suck gets, worth every damn second. Man up, get it done and join the small percentage of quitters getting it done! It's tough, I want sugar coat it, but it has never been documented to my knowledge, that quitting will kill you! But continuing damn well could your next dip! Quit on!

Piling on to what PAB said.... worth EVERY DAMN SECOND. Yeah, it'll suck, but it gets SO MUCH BETTER when you come out the other side. Quit on and kill that friggin' camel!

Thanks for the encouragement. Really starting to suck 8 hours in. I'll pound the water and hopefully get some sleep tonight. The chocolate sounds good too. Might even try to find some fake or stuff something in my lip. Maybe even a pacifier. fU snus. 'Finger'

I know it's different for everyone, but so far for me the thing that worked best was just cold turkey. No fake dip, no seeds, no gums, no nothing. A huge part of the addiction for me was needing to have something in my mouth all the time. I'd tried to quit a couple times in the past with gum, and every time I'd chew gum for a couple days and then tell myself "well maybe I'll just have gum most of the day and one chew at night". And then it was half and half, and before you knew it I was back to chewing several times a day.

This time I've just stayed away from any of that and it's worked for me. The first couple days felt really weird - I kept wanting to stick ANYTHING in my mouth - but now I'm not even thinking about it any more. It's just the mental games for me right now. But I got through the first week, which was where I always lost it in the past when I tried to quit.

The other thing that's been huge for me is exercise. I started going back to the gym 3 times a week. I try to lift heavy shit until my eyes feel like they're gonna pop out of my skull. It's hard for me to think about nic when that's going on. And yeah, water and rest.

Good luck brother! We are quit now. You got this.

Good advice from these quitters. Beat the addiction down each day fight for your quit.
Wake up, post roll, piss, quit all day, repeat..

Hey there! Congrats on jumpin' in and being a DAMN QUITTER! I was a Camel Snus guy too.. I don't even want to know how much $$ I gave to Camel between cigs and snus... Snus was great cause I ALWAYS had one in and nobody knew a thing.. Not even my wife, kids or co-workers... I would even put one in my mouth at bed-time or wake up in the middle of the night and throw one in my lip.. How messed up is that!! I am 62 days beyond that crap and YOU can do it too!! Get involved and get some chewing gum and hit it hard! I like seeds too but they rip up my mouth after awhile... Hang in there and YOU CAN DO THIS!!

Congrats on your quit! The Suck. Yes. it does suck. However, get yourself a few gallons of water. Drink it until your teeth float. Then, drink some cranberry juice. Drink that. Keep yourself super hydrated. Aspirin, Dark Dark Chocolate, Water, Sleep. The absolute best things to help with The Suck. I kept a can of fake around (To each their own) just in case I was down low and had a craving. The head aches suck. The jaw pain sucked. It all sucked. Within the first week or maybe a bit after, I had problems controlling the volume of my voice. Craziness. Anyways. Make your daily promise. The promise is to us and yourself that you will not use Nic for that day. We can only do this one day at a time. sometimes, it needs to be every second of the day. Congrats and feel free to ask me anything. I will be more than happy to help if I can.



Just for today, Self.

Chucked my can and coupons for $1.00 off my next fix. Waiting for the suck to settle in. Long time dipper ready to kill the camel snus which has been poisoning me slowly over many years. For myself, for my family, and for my new brothers of September 2016.

Not looking forward to this but FU nicotine. 'Finger'
