Day 9

[Doofus]

Day 67 Today and the craves are tough. I have though about chew more in the last 2 hours than i have in the last 2 days. Quit is strong, more pissed off at myself for thinking about it.

I hope you guys are strong with your quit, We got this.

Don't understand two things, constipation and all these pains in my mouth.

Nicotine is a mild laxative - thus the constipation

As far as the pains in your mouth - I had the same thing early in my quit, off and on for quite a while. Basically, your mouth is healing. You've been injuring it for years, and treating with an analgesic (nicotine). Remove the drug, and start the pain. It will subside, and get better. Just give it time.

Dude, Ive been posting and reaching out....the stories are all the same....My "friends" at convenience stores are all taken back when they have to put the tins away that they just assume I want....I've got a hottie too who I miss flirting with....probably for the better, my wife wouldnt be happy that my addiction also meant flirting with chickens half my age, lol....is it ok to miss the flirtation with hotties part of my addiction? Lol. I don't miss anything about tobacco now....some small triggers here or there....staying frosty for the long haul though....like I've said, not gonna get too cocky. Stay quit, ODAT

ERIC71 said the one truth we all need to understand. We have all had outragiously long addictions to the fucking nic whore. I cant remember a situation or a place I went last year that I didnt chew at. BECAUSE OF THAT:


LIFE IS A TRIGGER! Everything we know, everything we did had Nicotine in it. Not doing the things we love with the people we enjoy most isn't the realistic, we just have to understand that there will be triggers, bad as fucking craves that we can beat as long as we make a plan, stay accountable and forge fucking through. LIFE IS A TRIGGER from the moment we get up until we go to bed. BUT and this is a beautiful BUT, if we stay quit we have a lot better chance of enjoying LIFE.

Lax is fucking deep for 9:30 AM.

Im quit with all you fucking quitters today.

It's a rewiring of your brain. Prove to yourselves that you don't need a chew to drive the kids to school, that you don't need it to cope with an assbag of a co-worker, that you can enjoy a sporting event or get together much more when you're not sneaking off feeding a weakness, etc. Strategically plan out times and moments where you used to dip and revel in your victory, in that moment, as you stand there, a man of your word, with the nic bitch desperately trying to clutch your leg and asking for forgiveness of what she took from you so many times before. Take 2 steps back, and stomp the bitch's head into the curb and know you're winning.

Ironic to say this but for everyone out there winning today, your doing it cause first you were a QUITTER.

Eric reading your logic has helped me alone.

Quit on you fuckers, Proud to be quit with you.

OK - Im doing great solid 58 today. Proud as shit of every day.

13 year old son is driving me FUCKING BAT SHIT CRAZY, Suspended from school, pissed off at the world and lazier than shit. I swear his mother must have cheated on me, he and I share very few personality traits. Diagnosed Bi Polar a few months ago and even on meds he is killing me.

YET: 1 problem and Nicotine = 2 problems.

No chew today...

Have a great Monday you QUITTERS!

OK yesterday was going great, around 1:00 pm I get a call from my sons 7th grade school, got to pick him up, fight. Suspended for two days, fought the Modified Lacrosse coaches son, beat his ass! needless to say like many parents I live through my children. Watching then succeed and naked wrestling with the wife are about all I have to look forward to in life. My wife is a dam good wrestler! lol. I love lacrosse and Nathan is good at it, hence my name here. Figured he was done before it started. Was dam near heading from the school to the store and buy my old faithful. you know the one that never lets you down AND THEN I remembered a problem and nicotine is TWO problems and Nicotine never did anything but let me down, Hell Nicotine is no friend, that whore tried to kill me for 30 + years.

KTC and you bad asses have given me the tools to get through these major craves. Why am my having these tough ass craves 54 days in, simple nicotine was a part of my life for over 10,950 days. When people say it gets easier, it does, but you will be tested. We are addicts, addicts have to fight every fucking day. The minute you stop fighting and think you don't need to think about this anymore you have a 99.9 percent chance of failing. Last night I logged on here and read, i read as much as I could to make my hate of the nicotine whore that much stronger. I didn't post anything but read for hours. If you want to be quit, everything you need to stay quit is right here. Day by day, hour by hour, crave by crave. Someone on here has had it worse than you, there stories are gospel, you just have to want it and use the tools given.

Later that night the coach called me to apologize for his son starting the fight and to assure me there were no hard feelings and he looked forward to seeing Nathan at lacrosse in a few weeks. Could you imagine taking that call with a lip full of death.

KTC, my brothers of quit, my promise and desire for a better day got me through. Today I posted 55 days quit, tomorrow is eight weeks in but im not worried about that until tomorrow.

You may not think of your self as being more than what you are, but your the reason many have stayed quit, your the reason many have stayed alive. KTC is an awesome find. I'm thankful today, Im sure I will be again.

Im quit with all you fuckers today!

This guy gets it! Life is a trigger, nicotine is an excuse we use when we aren't man enough to face life.

Small victories, that's what any ADDICT needs to think about. I admit, I've looked ahead but all that does is fuck with my mind. My quit is so much stronger when I think about right now or the next ten minutes. I've been craving hard, don't want to sleep because the dreams are so real Work is busy than shit but the long hours were always dealt with by opening a fresh tin, cranking the tunes and fighting through. I still crank the tunes. Part of my mind is telling me, come on its been long enough, lets have some. Another part is screaming your an asshole, stop thinking, you promised. That part is way fucking stronger..

I am truly a stupid fucker, so are you. Why did we allow ourselves to get here. Nicotine may be the strongest fucking drug out there, the whore is cunning. BUT I WILL WIN TODAY! Win with me!

Right there with you brother. Love how you express yourself. Motivates me for sure.

I STILL get cravings and triggers every f*cking day. It has just gotten progressively easier to move past them. They are more fleeting thoughts than dangerous impuses nowadays.

And when I need to blast out a ton of work (still a major trigger), I still reach for a pile of seeds.

The Nic B*tch is crafty. We have both had long stopages before, but this is a f*cking quit now. Absolutely no going back. I know my real test may come at any time, and that is why I continue to focus on ODAAT and on strengthening my quit every f*cking day. Addiction is always there, but so are KTC and your brothers!

Way to keep the focus on today and on right now. Quit with you today!

CONGRATULATIONS! HALFWAY TO FAMOUS!!

You are doing great. Plenty of challenges ahead, but think how far you have come already!

The biggest thing is that you have bought into things here, and you realize you are an addict.

Stay humble and don't let your guard down. The nic b*tch is still lurking for sure.

Proud to quit with you today brother!

'party2'

Half way to nothing, 100 is just a number. Yes I am proud of my 51 days, fucking love them all but they are still only 51 wins. One day at a time, day after day.

1825 is my half way number, 3650 days is how long mouth cancer can incubate without showing its ugly head. As of today I have 3599 days of being scared left. (9 years, 314 days)

On day 3650 is when I can say Im Famous for being an asshole that played roulette for more than 30 years of my life. On day 3650 I will be able to sleep knowing I won!

The saving grace to this quit I have going is im finally scared to death that chewing tobacco will kill me, if I let it! Today I wont!

None means none.
One and I fail
Failure is a choice - (doufus)

Didn't know that one. 'bang head' thought I was free and clear.
Not really. My father died of non small cell lung cancer ~5 years after he quit (smoking). That was 7 years ago. I watched the cancer and chemo eat him down to an 80 pound skeleton and did nothing about quitting on my own. Staggering.
So very glad to be quit with you!
