Day 1 - THIS SUCKS!

[chucklehead]

Good work ncheel. you and I are both on day 3 it looks like. So far its been a bitch for me.

[ncheel]

Yeah me! I just looked the bitch square in the eyes! Went to Walmart to get the fake (didn't have it) but bought a drink in the tobacco lane. Looked right at that wintergreen bitch and said NOPE!

One day at a time!

Heel....I found that keeping track of that first 72 hours was important. I was told by a friend that is a doctor that the last 10 or so hours of the 72 hour soak is the hardest by far. Keep it up.....Im on day 22 and it does get easier. I didnt use any of the fake dip during my quit......I did and still do use seeds though. Good luck man.....yesterday + 1

Thanks Bro!

Using seeds and fake. It will be 72 hours tonight so I guess this will be a "fun" afternoon!

Stay tuned! I will use this page to get me through the day.

Come check out chat too. Its a good distraction if you need to get your mind off things. Usually a few guys and a girl in there in the afternoon.

WOW, morning 3...this has been the hardest so far. Cravings are still there, should be okay in a little bit, have to get some caffeine and sugar in me.

This is the day I wanted the most, day 3 no more nicotine. Now it is the psychological game. There is nothing physical there after today. The problem now is that guy in the mirror that I shave with.

I will win! I will not be nic's bitch again!

peace

I still use it after 135 days quit, not because I "need" it, hell I dipped for 30 years, I just kidda like having a pinch from time to time and this stuff doesn't hurt you and your breath is minty! 

I'm with you. I think once I get out of the nicotine cravings, I will be fine, but like you, I really did like to have something in lip!

Thanks for links. Had the MintSnuff. It's good, just a mess to get out of the can!

Will order some Hooch...like to try it first, but what the hell, I am DONE this time and got to invest a little money for getting what you want!

If you're looking to try Hooch, there is a coupon for KTC members available here: http://www.killthecan.org/yourquit/alternatives.asp

Does anyone know a store, like WalMart or Walgreens or something that sells the herbal stuff? 

hooch can be ordered online and comes quickly

Don't be afraid to use it. I won't ever go back to nic. I thought the smokey stuff tasted like crap, but the hooch and mint snuff is good.

Okay, now into Day 2.  Last night was odd.  Slept okay, but not soundly.  Normally would go to bed about 1:30ish to get that last dip in.  Pleased to go to bed an hour or so earlier.  Got 2 or so good hours of sleep then it got restless until this morning.

Realizing when worst cravings are going to be for me.  Right after supper (the helpful husband syndrome - "I'll do the dishes, honey!") and then right now, in the mornings.  So far, a GIANT cup of coffee and some herbal snuff are taking care of the morning craving. 

Does anyone know a store, like WalMart or Walgreens or something that sells the herbal stuff?  I hate to go all the way to Wilmington to the smoke shop to get it.  I really don't want to go in a smoke shop because the COPE is right there behind the register!

Anyway, back to Day 2...the fog has set in.  Not a massive headache, just feels heavy.  Dragging ass a little. 

Question for HOF'ers, am I going to need to start my day with oatmeal?  Normally, a good fat lip would get things moving.

Love to hear from you guys and gals...I appreciate the support.  I am reading, reading, reading.  Love to post too and give updates...hope that is okay.

Good stuff, I love it when a quitter gulps the kool-aid.

Walmart generally carries Smokey Mountain. It is however in the tobacco aisle. You can order some other brands on-line. I never used fake, so maybe some other quitters can speak to this.

Read everyting you can and absolutely post away. The more you put yourself out there, the more people you will be accountable to, the harder it will be for you to mess up.

Oatmeal and coffee always gets things moving for me too......

Hey ncheel, I just finished my first week, I'm not going to lie to you, it wasn't the easiest week of my life, but I do agree with you. I believe its mostly mental/behavior modification. After I read that the nicotine is out of my system in 72 hours, I knew it was all in my head after that. I'm here for you. We can do this together. Rock on!

Halfway through day 1. Have eaten a whole field of sunflower seeds!

I'm doing okay so far. I think I am realizing this about 10-20% physical and the other 80% is about behavior modification. It was me looking in the mirror this morning and telling the guy in the mirror that he was the problem.

My office looked like a rabid bird stayed in it for the first 70 or so days of my quit. I also ate a ton of candy. Don't sweat it, you will naturally slow down your seed consumption.

STAY QUIT

HEY NCHEEL


The quit needs to be for you. Post roll everyday and read read and read. Welcome to ktc.
