Here we go again. Quite today

[slug.go]

Day 4. yesterday was really hard. I worked late to make up for lack of productivity all day. I am salary, but love working for my company and am accountable so need to get the stuff done. I have family in town. Feels great not having a can of chew bulging from my pocket, especially around nephews. Got a lot of support from the group yesterday which really helped. I am not really a "call or text" person, but appreciate the offers. Maybe because of my drinking. Who knows. Love this group though. What a great concept of men helping each other in tough times. Today, I am hoping my fake chew will come in the mail. I haven't been to a store that sells chew since I quit. Think the temptation would still be there. Even if I bought a can, I am pretty sure I would open it and dump it, but can't take the chance. I have saved $20 bucks so far in just 4 days and that is cool. :-) Hope everyone stays strong!

"I'm not really a call or text person"

You need to get over that! you cannot do this alone! I tried that exact same excuse last year when I tried to quit and I white knuckled it to day 34 and caved. If you don't make connections on here you won't make it! You can do this! I promise it gets easier! I'm not that many days ahead of you but I can promise it will get easier but you have to lean on your brothers! Pick up your phone right now and text one of people that gave you their number.!

Pm me any time!

Listen to what BRD has to say...he's walking the walk.

I didn't own a cell phone 4 months ago, and now I have the names and numbers of 20 quitters in a trac phone. Maybe it's not your style, but twice I had random, unsolicited texts for quit brothers asking how I was on days where my quit was rough. Talk about an instant pick me up! That may not happen to you, but it sure as hell helped me through the first 100 days.

Keep fighting. It will get easier. Remember this saying because it is true.

1 problem + nicotine = 2 problems

The nic-bich offers nicotine as a problem solver. It is not. It is a problem creator. Nicotine digs the hole, it does not fill the hole.

Keep going brother...glad you were able to be more productive today at work. Just keep fiighting...not to sound dramatic but your life depends on it, so fight with everything you have. You will start feeling better and better. Plus you will start to really notice, and like, the extra cash...i have saved like $375 so far in 46 days.

Keep rocking it bro. Youre doing this!!

Thanks all for your support. Took a b12 vitamin at 9am and just took a multivitamin. Drinking tons of water. Does getting the toxins out fast actually make you feel better? Right now I feel horrible/light headed. This group is great. I guarantee if you all weren't here doing the same, I would have gone and bought a can this morning. Ughhh.

You don't need the can to feel better. You just think you do.

I mean think about that for a minute...without a can of poison to put in my mouth I don't feel normal. How crazy of a statement is that???

Yet...I felt the EXACT same way, and so did thousands of others on here.

Feeling that way doesn't speak to you being weak or a soft minded person, it speaks to the powerfully addictive and controlling nature of nicotine.

Nicotine is not a natural chemical found in our bodies. It does not belong there.

We were dumb enough to introduce it into our bodies, but we are smart enough to say enough is enough and quit.

It's not easy in the beginning, but it gets easier as the days go by. Trust me.

Hang in there bro. Grind these early days out. Hour by hour, minute by minute if you have to.

Stay active, stay busy, but most importantly...Stay QUIT.

You got this. We are here to help.

Quit on...

You got this. I remember NOTHING of the first day of my quit. KTC is awesome and the guys here are great. If you need any help someone is always here. Grab something cinnamon Big Red, Hard candy it has been my replacement since day one.

Your doing it man... One day at a time. It sucks bad... it gets better. Your brain has a lot of healing to do.

Stay active on here... go rage on the vets or piss with other quit groups... we can take it... we all been there. Do whatever u have to do to distract yourself during the craves...

Quit with u!

I nearly shit myself a few times on Day 3, and cried in a corner twice, and I am 44 years old. This is not easy, but the first time you feel good again you know it was all worth it. Fight and be free man!

Day one was really hard, especially after I tossed the nicorette. But this morning is worse. Can't concentrate at all and have a lot to do. I understand it will be like this for a while. I did drink last night. I understand that it can lead to a bad choice of buying a can or something. But for me, it actually keeps me home, away from the store since it is 10 miles away and i never drink and drive. I only have a small amount of bourbon left. I'll drink that tonight and then will not drink wed/thu. I am glad you are all here. This is really hard. Can't imagine doing it alone!

Hang in there buddy. It will get better. Stay active on the board, read a bunch, keep your mind busy, and dont allow yourself to think about what is missing. Focus on what you are gaining...freedom, better health, increased life span,etc

No doubt the fog sucks, but you are in the worst part of it right now, it will most definitely get better. There are 20,000 people here who can verify it. I am 44 days in and my life is so much better.

One suggestion I have is to drink as much water as you possibly can, so much so that you have to piss everye time you see a bathroom. It will help move toxins out of your system and might help out a bit

Hang tough man, proud to quit with you

We are here for you, brother. Shout out anytime you need something.

Doing this shit is hard, damn near impossible doing it alone.

Inidaho, you are correct, quitting is hard. It's hard because it's worth it. We're all doing it, you can, too. Trust me, it gets so much better!
