Embrace these craves. Embrace the suck remember it forever. One crave at a time one minute at a time an hour a day. It gets better and better. You can do this. You are going to relearn how to live life. So glad to be quit with you!

Welcome Blue,

Agreed on this being different. It does work, between the accountability, knowing what the nic-bitch is going to throw at you next, and quitting with a bunch of people who know just what you are going through. Vets who know what you need to hear and when you need to hear it. The confessions of people who caved teach us how our mind can trick us back into using. I am convinced I would not be this far along (59 days) without the folks here. Glad to be quit with you.

Today I'm on Day 2 and I know how you feel. I didn't sleep at all last night because I'm used to laying on the coach and reading a book at night for about 2 hours with about 3 dips taken throughout the disgusting pattern. Of course, my wife is in our king bed all by herself because of my dip habit. She's still with me after everything I put her through, including a bad drinking habit as well.

So, I'll try not to feel too sorry for myself. My face is buzzing. You know, that feeling that can only be relieved by a dip? I feel like my body is screaming for a dip. Then when I think about it, it's really not that bad. I know that tomorrow will be better, well, maybe a little better. In the meantime, my addiction is hitting me hard.


That sounds so much Like my routiene......... only its of the day time... Tonight should be interesting..... no nic bitch full 10 hour night shift........ but I can beat it.......

I guess my story is similar to lots, Ive tried quitting unsuccessfully several times, tried patch, chantix, and the nic bitch keeps coming back, Skip time with my wife and kids, just for a dip, lie, cheat and am just an sob for what i let nicotine rob me off...... Im tired of being a piece of shit..... threw my can down last night at work..... so I guess is is Day one of a difficult journey, that from trolling on here i now have discovered has no destination, thats what made me want to join, as soon as you get somewhere quit, or a place or whatever, you can turn around and go back, but if you are forever on the journey a day at a time, there is no turning around...... I appreciate all the help I can get taking this walk one step, one day one craving at a time......

Embrace the suck....you only want to go through it all once. Remember it and cherish it. It should be the best worst memory you'll ever have.

The first few days suck. Don't take it out on your family, take it out here.

Start posting roll in the July quit group. They will be your main support. The rest of us are still here for you.

Good luck, and glad to be quit with you.

Tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop,
I'll be on that hill with everything I got,
Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost,
I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost.

Not gonna lie. Quitting sucks. I'd imagine dieing of cancer sucks more. I chewed the crap for 30 years and have been quit for 66 days. If i can do this so can you.
