Quit Journal

[chitownsnus]

Thanks everyone! I think like mentioned I just need to take it one day at a time. Today has been good so far. I went for a run this morning and have upped my water intake. Day 4 is off to a good start!

Thanks everyone. I think the real struggle is going to be longterm. I have quit numerous times in the past for 60-90 days at a time always to return. I want this time to be different and that is why I have come here for support. I am starting to get my bearings here and hope that I can use the information provided to make that little difference that I need.

Chi- It is indeed a long term struggle. We are all nicotine addicts. But we can be free by quitting one day at a time. Re-assess your efforts in the past, I'd suggest you merely were stopping tobacco for a while, not building a serious quit. It is up to you. It is not easy, it takes cajones, but the freedom from the can is defnitely worth it. This site and its members will help you, but you have to own your quit.
Glad to be quit with you!

Don't think more than one day at a time you can do that, hell I have stayed away from the shit for 2-3 years in the past but I was still a frickn addict I was also a pussy little boy for 54 yrs and now I've become a man for 15 days. I decided to be a man again today it feels good to own control of my life. Be a man face life one day at a time with the rest of us and post roll daily!!!!!

Yes, I know it is going to be hard. My craving is now over, so I feel strong, but for that second I wasn't so sure. I had already planned on driving to the smoke shop and picking up my fresh can of general. That new can smell and the rush of that dip is something that is just heavenly.

That's what sucks about tobacco. It can control my life or I can control it. Right now I am in control and I hope to stay that way.

I know what you can do.

Go here and promise yourself that you won't use nicotine at all today. By doing that, it alerts us that we need to look out for you. There's a few guys that are going through the exact same hell you are right now. You'll find kindred spirits that know how fucking difficult this is.

You can do it. Take it one day at a time. If that doesn't work, take it one minute at a time.

He is right on. Post roll. I promise you I will not use. You promise me. Together we can win...1 day at a time friend.

Best advice i can give you, besides telling you to read everything here and post, is to stop and think. take a moment to really think about what dip/snus/whatever nicotine vehicle has done for you. there is no answer other than nothing of value. The other way to look at it is that the all you have to do is NOT dip. You don't have to actually do or create anything. All you have to do is not use nicotine for the next 24 hrs. A fucking monkey can do that. be the monkey....

Well the first day wasn't so bad. The second day was pretty tough, but today is really tough for some reason.

I have been drinking water. I worked out this morning. I have been on the mint snuff as well. Just not sure how to keep from running out to the store and buying me some snus. I guess if I really want to quit then I won't.

Any words of encouragement are appreciated!
