I can see you're embracing the quit Heath. Such a great decision. You're going to have a lot of tough times and reaching out or reading anything and everything on KTC helps tremendously. After 66 days I still need to come to this site and read intros like yours to help me get over my craves. Keep up the good work and keep reading! Hit me up with a PM if you ever need support.

My 72 hours has officially pasted. I feel excited and determined. I woke up this morning with my mind clear, I am so fucking proud to have made it these 72 hours. I never in my wildest dreams thought i would make it this far.

I know we have a long road to go yet, but I can honestly say that I don't need that nicotine. I don't care how bad these cravings get. My body isn't getting poisoned by me any longer. I want to live a healthy and long life. I want to be able to walk my kids down the aisle when they get married, and i want to hold my first grandchild, and I want to have all my teeth and my cheeks and my lips, an no more fucking chew can rings in my jeans. Man my wife is going to love that one.

Thank you everyone. You are a great group of people! I am so happy that i found you, and a special thanks to gargoose. He saved my quit yesterday just by texting me.

So today is Day 3. What a crazy fucking day. I am so focused, but the anger is mind boggling. I literally want to rip someones fucking face off. I have no patience for stupid today. I feel amazing, just so damn angry. I hope this shit passes soon. 9 more hours until this nic bitch is out of my system.

I do have to say thank you to everyone, I truly would have caved today, if it wouldn't have been for people on this thread. You are all great people!!!
Don't get discouraged, go to gym, walk, exercise stay away from dumb asses if at all possible. The rage and craves are gonna come and go just learn how to handle it, you don't want to take it out on family. Brother we all need help from time to time so don't hesitate to reach out! Damn proud to be quit with you today!
Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

Sleep was tough to come by last night for me as well. I am usually asleep within 15 minutes of laying down. Last night was about an hour and a half. Kept having to tell netflix that I was still watching.
I ended up sleeping on the couch last night so I wouldn't make my wife up.

How are you doing today?

Going to bed last night kind of got interesting, a little fidgety to say the least.

I do have to say, I woke up this morning feeling GREAT. Mouth feels good, no headache for the first time in months.
Good to hear that you are feeling GREAT today. That positive reinforcement will keep you going.

I appreciate the support. Bought myself some Smokey Mountain last night. That was a game changer. Still had urges, but took my family for a nice walk and just enjoyed spending time with them without looking for a spitter.

I would highly recommend checking out some of the fake stuff. I'm personally fond of the Smokey Mountain snuff. It definitely helped me get through the first few days. Glad to have you on board with the June goons. Reach out to us if you need anything or just want to vent.

This day is taking forever. I was able to exercise during my lunch hour which helped. My urge to throw chairs is subsided :). I find myself being pissed off at myself for even starting this habit. And how selfish of me to put my health and my families well being in jeopardy. I truly deserve whatever suck I get for the next few days/weeks. The most interesting thing that i have discovered today, is that my number one concern has been "do i have chew" should i get chew"? How pathetic. While my family genuinely showed concern or did things for me, all i cared about was this dumb ass addiction.
Don't EVER forget how bad this sucks. Ever. You don't ever want to go through this shit again.

Having said that, this will pass, but not right away. It's going to keep sucking for a while. And then it won't.

Stay strong. Stay Quit. Stay close to this site. I already PM'd you. Don't hesitate to reach out.
What is your major malfunction?!?!?!?!

The support I see on this site is amazing. It is exactly what i am going to need. I looks like it is a place to rant and vent also. I look forward to posting roll.
Rant and vent all you want... Here. Keep it away from your family. We've heard it all and we can take it.

From the twisted side of things I wanna say... I hope it really does suck, man. I hope it sucks in a hellish fashion. When it does?... Be thankful for it and remember it! You never want to do this to yourself again. One and done bro... Own it and true freedom is yours.
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.
