Help me quit

[Grady]

Day 7 - I just wanted to apologize if I overstepped my bounds by posting in the intros while I'm still a newbie. I realize I'm young and inexperienced , but I feel like I can help if I pick my moments. I may have been a little over the top with some other postings as well, but I believe it was necessary to get me through this week. The lump on the side of my throat is almost gone. (Maybe it was an infection). I should still get checked out this weekend just incase. All in all I'm physically much better, there is still a slight amount of fog. I have gotten numbers and have given mine out to what I think is "enough" people, but I guess there is always room for more. There seems to be a lot of good guys and girl in the Apes of April. I'm proud to be apart of a such a badass group of quitters.

An intro while a newb is absolutely the best time to do so. You'll keep coming back here, recording thoughts of your quit. Perfect spot ... and what it is intended for. Later down the road, you'll get to look back at your journey of quit, and reflect. You're good bro, and killing it. Congrats on the week! It smells all sorts of quitty in here. Stay strong, PM me if you want more digits!!

Nate, ^^^^^^^ this is a good dude to have in your corner but please for the love of God, do not ask him to send you ANY pictures. You will never get the images out of your head!

Don't ever apologize for helping others. You are badass and kicking serious ass. Keep it up. ODAAT  NAFAR. You can never have just one. We are addicts.

Late last night I got slammed with anxiety. Every second I wasn't looking at this site last night was spent freaking out that I didn't have my fix. Well Nic Bitch found me in the night at my most vulnerable moment, when I felt alone and scared. She thought this was her moment to bring me back into the fold. What she didn't know was that I'm not alone anymore and the fear of disappointing my brothers/sisters far out ways the fake fear generated by lies.

This is a great post. This is how it is done.

Harbinger - stay strong don't let your guard down. I am into day 3 as well and it is very difficult. I have the fake shit too....BacOff wintergreen, helps a lot., tea leaves. No nic, no tobacco. What brand did you get? Keep reading others stories on here, that's what I do to get my shit straight and kick that nic to the curb. Also, if you have local AA or NA groups that hold meetings you can get support there too. It helps to see and be with people face to face and talk about it. We are all addicts - whether its alcohol, pills, nic, drugs. Be strong and let go. You can do it. - Joe

Thanks Joe. I'm trying Nip energy Dip. A sports trainer from MLB came up with it. Its made of sea sponge and is pretty dang close to the smell and texture of the real stuff. (Looks nothing like real chew though) I'm thinking of trying Jake's Mint chew after this. There is also a sampler pack on Amazon I was looking at.

Yeah I have been reading a lot of the HOF and HOL speeches. Some great stuff in there. I didn't even think of the AA groups, I guess I just assumed it was alcoholics only, but your right its all the same an addict is an addict. Glad to quit with you today.

Got my fake chew today. Thank you baby jesus.

I have read that a few guys have had there roughest days after the 72 hrs. So I'm not going to let my guard down after today. Nic bitch is hunting me right now, she is hiding in the trees with her active camoflauge 'ninja' just waiting for the moment to stike.

Yeah I'm a little scared that she might get me but the game is afoot and here pretty soon I'll be hunting down that bitch like the animal she is. 'Remshot'

Thanks Vinmoore, how are things a month down the road? Is it mainly a mind fuck or is there some physical symptoms still?

Read this and you will get an idea of what to expect. However, I woudln't wory about anything down the oad just yet. The mind games start on Day 4, once the nicotine is out of your system. Read MIND GAMES as BODY HEALING. As your body heals itself, there will be times when it gets pissed off, just like you will. Nic rage is real - both in your own head, and in your body. Learn to deal with it and bring it here, because we've heard it a thousand times and we can take it.

For right now, work on what you need to do to make it through the end of today. Then, tomorrow, post roll, and keep your word. Nothing to it.

However, Tuco is right. This is going to suck. Remember it, an you will never want to go through it again. The best news is, you never have to go through it again, either.

Quit on.

At day 46 mostly good some tough days dude. But ...... Each day its gotten a little better. Best advice.......think today and only today. Tomorrow never comes in an addicts world(my world). I'm constantly vigilant too. That's what it takes. Its seductive and cunning. Your brain remembers everything. Continue the fight whatever it takes

Your right Frazz I should just go a day at a time. That article was very helpful thanks

Well I was sitting down watching my favorite hockey team play tonight and I started freaking out because I have never not dipped watching a game. So I had to use an emergency plan a friend on ktc suggested. Dipping coffee grounds. Tastes like shit but it worked. The fake stuff I ordered online gets here tomorrow. I should be able to trick nic bitch into shutting the fuck up with that stuff.
