Challenging

[xct84]

I'm on  Day 18 today.  For the last four or five days my sweet tooth has been in overdrive.  I'm craving ice cream, chocolate, cookies... like a pregnant woman.. has anyone else encountered this ?

Hi there. I had HUGE sugar cravings. Sugar is NOT my friend so the best thing I could think of was to cut up some oranges, limes, lemons etc and make a giant pitcher of ice water. Try it...good luck!

If you have a craving other than NIC... roll with it. Nothing wrong with a little ice cream, chocolate or cookies. You aren't going to want it forever.

Just keep dip out of your face. Everything else is OK for now.

Smoky Mountain Chew and Hooch are keeping me sane.

XCT,
Sorry to hear that you lost your job. Sometimes one door closes and another one opens.
Just remember 1 problem + nicotine = 2 problems.
You don't need that nic bitch in your life, ever!
PM me if you want digits.
Quit alongside you EDD!

I forgot to mention this interesting little tidbit of information.

My daughter is getting married March 15.

If I can make it through all the BS that's gonna go down around the wedding the next four weeks, including dealing with the ex, and I don't slip up, I can handle anything without the need for nicotine.

XCT - Welcome aboard, and look forward to continuing to post roll alongside you in Project Mayhem. As far as the upcoming events in your life, both known and unknown, you're already addressing them the right way: bringing them up in a forum so that you don't have to be alone in the battle. No question there's going to be stressful days ahead -- for all of us. Some of it you might be comfortable sharing, some not. But at the risk of chanting the mantra of KTC, we take it One Day At A Time (ODAAT). Get through today's quit -- that's not much to ask, is it? Hell, you've already proven to yourself and everyone watching that you can do it several days in a row, so what's one more day? Simple: it's your life. You can do this, and we've got your back, especially in Mayhem.

When I make  it (fixed it for you) through all the BS that's gonna go down around the wedding the next four weeks, including dealing with the ex, and I don't slip up, I can handle anything without the need for nicotine.

I'm sure you've seen this on the site already "1 problem + nicotine= 2 problems" dealing with the ex isn't made easier with nicotine. I got married last October and remember the stress very well. If you need a venting buddy, let me know

It has been 72 hours since my last dip.  The nicotine is now out of my system.  It's all mind over desire moving forward.  I got this beast cornered and I"n fixin' to go all Texas whoop ass on it.

Nice job xct. NIC is out but she ain't gone. You're right on.. The mind games are the battle before you. Whatever it takes today. Keep your boot on the beasts neck. No dip today. ODAAT. QLF!

72 hours, here's what you need to do.

Go get you a ticket to the Himalaya mountains. There is a mountain there called mount Everest. Go climb that mountain brother. Take a couple oxygen tanks with you, i hear the air is mighty thin up there. I myself have not made the journey, but this is not about me, it's about you. When you get to the top of that mountain take a good look around. Breath in that freedom. Take a good look at the world without the poison running though your veins.

If this trip seems a little to far and out there just step out your front door. Same thing!

Every day for how ever long you have prepared each day around the poison. The poison dictated how each day you would make the sacrifices necessary to get your fix. We weren't meant to live life lead around buy a can of dirt.

Good job! One day at a time and you can have back lot of what the poison has stolen. Never again for any reason and you can keep it. 72 hours is a great start. If you can make it 72 you can damn sure make it 73. Need another number let me know.

Happy to help! Helps me quit to help you quit and I'm just passing on the help someone gave me!

That's how KTC works. You don't know me and I don't know you other than two quitters on the same website but we are quit together today with a whole bunch of other badass quitters and we're doing it one day at a time!

Keep it going!

I posted to  the Roll Call this morning. I think I did it the correct way this time.

Apogeeammo:  You're recommendation of the Smokey Mountain just helped me out.  I had a major "oh crap I need snuff" moment.  Drove to Wally World, no joy, out of Smokey Mountain.  After your post last night I looked at the Smoky Mountain website, saw they sold it at HEB here  in Texas. Drove to  HEB, bought  a can .  No dip of snuff has ever tasted sweeter than the Smoky Mountain. Took the edge right off. 

Thanks Apogeeammo

You are in there bro! Day 3. Nice. Use that smoky mt and whatever else u need today to keep quit. Gum, candy, seeds and anything else that works.

Stay quit !

Yep, you did it right!
I keep some Smokey Mountain with me at all times. It's in my truck, gym bag, golf bag, etc...make sure it (or whatever you use to beat the bitch) is always on hand, makes a big difference!

Good Job xct84!
Keep quittin' ODAAT.
Work on the oral fixation later.
Just keep focused on Today.
Cheers.
