hello everyone

Hey man,
If you quit yesterday as I did along with others, you will be in the May 2012 group.. Click on 'Quit Groups', then click the May 2012 group. Go to the most recent roll call and in the top right of the box you will see 'Quote'.. This will send you to a new page.. Go to the bottom of the page with the box that has writing in and, highlight it, right-click and cut it.. Paste it in the box above, and under 'Newbies', write 'Krashski - Day 1'.. This says that you promise to be nicotine free for that day..

Thanks guys, you have helped to calm me down a bit....I see the instructions on how to post on roll call, but I cant seem to find it anywhere....I may be in a bit of an anxiety day minus the nic, so help me out please

Krash,
I'm new here too, just rolled today, joined yesterday. I'm day 13 quit. I'm sure some of the "vets" will chime in and direct you soon. You might check out AprilHOF2012 group - that's the group you'll be in. I just got through venting myself - check it out - I think we almost copied each other's story :). I will PM you when I figure this site out better.....

Anxiety sucks! That may be an issue for a bit, nicotine really screws with your brain chemistry so the withdrawals will do the same. Best advice drink lots of water and work out. As for roll? You are going to be a member of May '12. Since you quit today you will enter the hall of fame in may, when you quit each day for a hundred days. Sounds like you've learned how to post roll so head on over to "quit groups" go to may '12 and post your promise. I will quit with you today.

Hello all....

first started chewing at 16, doing kodiak a can a day, stopped momentarily here and there, and really thought i had it licked last September. I stopped for 6 months, but I must say that first month after chewing for 25 years straight was brutal. I was dizzy, in a fog, had terrible nightmares, and it lasted at least a month with constant feelings of dread and panic.

I switched over to red Man when I restarted, thinking it was like candy and wouldn't be as hard to quit as tins. ....WRONG. I actually went a month just borrowing a dip every few days, until I caved and bought a whole bag of Redman. I stopped again after that bag, but that was all it took. Since about January 9th I have not had a dip, and let me tell youI am not going to give in, but the side effects have been brutal....feelings of constant dread again, worried constantly about dying, nasty bouts of tired suddenly popping up in the middle of my day, and a constant upset stomach with gas out both ends, along with dry mouth and constant urination, AND having to go to the bathroom after every meal...the nic is taking me for quite a shitty ride right now, but Im not giving in again.

I havent quite figured out the roll call thing yet, but will be back on this site often, I just really needed to vent about what I am going through, so thanks.

Welcome! This place works if you follow a very simple plan.
1) post roll. This is the most important thing we do. It is important to do this first thing in the morning everyday
2) live up to your word, whatever it takes, all day, you promised to quit, so do it.
3) get involved, we quit together here. I got your back, I expect you to have mine.
4) repeat
Like many of us you have gone thru the bundle of suck that withdrawal brings, we are not gonna go thru that again. PM if I can help.
