Just would like to throw out an update on my quit. I am 42 days quit this did not seem possible 43 days ago. I have had some foggy days and have had some pounding headaches. I have had some good days, I have had some bad days. I post roll every day and honor my word. I think I had two Nic dreams, they were definitely weird, almost like cheating on your spouse or girlfriend. I probably had more Nic dreams, I just thank god I don't remember them. I have read a lot on this site, sometimes I need a break though and try to keep busy and keep the idea of dipping out of my head all together. There is a wealth of info here that has helped me out. I still use seeds, mints, gum, smokey mountain, and beef jerky to help with my craves and to give my mouth something to do. I have had amazing support from members in my group, the Jackwagons with the Facebook connect and a couple of Vets that have reached out to me when I began my quit.
I had some victories too, I was down the shore at the beach and was offered a fine cigar which was never me anyway, but I thought about accepting cause I didn't quit cigars, I quit dip, but I remembered I am quit from all that is nicotine. I politely turned down the offer.
And the 7-11 down the street from my apartment where I would get my two cans of Skoal Straight a day, I was purchasing some jerky and water, the cashier asked no Skoal today, I said "Nope, No Skoal for me today." I did want to say fuck you and your fucking Skoal, but regardless I looked Nic in the face and laughed.
I need to become more active in helping new quitters and all, just trying to get my head fully screwed on right now.
For anyone reading this including any Newbies read, listen to the vets, drink the KTC koolaid cause really there is no other way at combating this addiction. There are very few that can beat this by themselves. you need to accept that you are an addict, and I am addict with almost anything that gives me pleasure, and I needed KTC to fight this one. Just focus on one day at time. Post roll and honor your word.
I quit with all my brothers and sisters today!
