Gearing up for day 1

[Timpy]

I may need to bring some heartburn meds with me or something. I think I got it from my morning coffee. I used to have no problem with the coffee but since I quit it has been kicking my ass. Now that the nic bitch is gone caffeine gets to shine through. I may have to cut that out too.

Chest pain is going away. I started burping and realized the shit was heartburn. WHAT THE FUCK!?! Did the crave give me heartburn or did the heartburn trigger the crave? I hate fucking nicotine. That shit just pisses me off. I can't believe I was dependant on this shit.

I had a ton of fog in the first weeks that I thought was simply related to the quit. It may have been but I realized it was also a mild headache. I started taking ibuprofen and it helped a ton. But then again I also had a patch where I had splitting headaches that were not cured by anything but time.

Things are changing, don't be surprised if you need to take some meds like that.

Thanks. I was doing really good. I thought for sure that I was breaking throught the shit. I still have this feeling in my chest like something is squeezing my heart. I am only 26 so I know its not a heart attack. I am just fucking pissed off. I just want to scream FUCK over and over again. Being bottled up at work doesn't help at all. That bitch gave me a swift kick in the sack. I just want the feeling to end. The crave is gone but my chest is still really tight.

Don't fuck around. If you're feeling serious chest pain type stuff you should at least CALL a doctor. Don't think that just because you're 26 doesn't mean you might not have something serious going on. I had a high school classmate drop dead on the football field at 17. His heart basically exploded.

It could also be heartburn or something.

Hang in there. The worst of the crave will be behind you soon enough. Two weeks is a bitch. I had all sorts of bad ass cracves around 10-14. And then again around 20. It's been better since.

You're doing the right thing. Come here when things get rough. Don't even think of caving.

I had a dip dream last night just as I was falling asleep. How fucked up is that? The damn thing made me crave and pissed me off royally. It was like the bitch knew I was crossing the threshold into one week and wanted to fuck it up. I threw in a wad of mint hooch and zapped that issue. I felt great this morning and even reminded some fellow quitters to post roll. Now sitting at work I was bit in the ass by another crave. This is more than I had on the third day. I am not going to cave. I am more pissed off than anything right now. I have my fake stuff with me but this is just annoying the holy shit outta me. I really needed to rant. This feels like day 2 for some fucking reason. I am having sweats, anxiety, and that pissed off feeling. I thought that once the chemical garbage was gone that my body wouldn't react this way. Some support would be great right now. I am at work until four and will have this site up the entire day.

Timpy,

This kind of stuff will come and go for the next few months.

It does get better and certainly less frequent. My worst day was day 14. I honestly almost gave up on that day because I was told that the first 3 were the worst. I had thought to myself, I guess my brain is just never going to let me feel normal.

Much to my delight sometime around about a month quit it was as if the seas had parted and I realized that my brain would again let me live a normal life without the nicotine.

I am geared up for deer season this year. I have to go to work on openiong day , which blows royally, but I have other dates in mind to bag some meat. I have been lookin through this thread and all of the posts and support that have appeared here and it is an interesting ride. I would suggest to all newcomers that they start an intro thread and keep up with it for at least a couple of weeks or a month. It is amazing to read how my priorities have shifted from all about dipping, to normal things. The war never ends, but it shows that there is life after the bitch.

There is a Timpy and there is an addict. We are separating the two here.

Keep emphasizing that "you" are doing that stuff without cancer candy in your mouth. All that shit that "you" like doing, that defines you, will help you shine while the addict slips aside.

I quit with you bro.

The old lady dragged me out for black Friday shopping. I made it through today without a crave at all. I did get queesy while shopping in the a.m. I have been using smokey mtn and it has worked wonders. My order of Hooch came in the mail today. It is pretty good as well. When I dipped my bitch free goodies I didn't feel the absolute need to. I have never had a quit like this before. I have stopped dipping before and always craved to the point of destruction but this time is like a switch went off after the drug was gone. The difference this time is that I really wanted to be over and the support from this site (texts, calls, e-mails, and literature) have made all the difference. I know that I will have craves for the rest of my life and that I should chalk today up as a really good day, but this time is different. I am actually going to win this thing.

Win one day at a time. That is all that matters. Today.

Exactly, big sky. Those are wise words. If I can win today, I have won. Tomorrow repeat, we will win one day at a time.

Here is a little reading for those times you wonder why we advocate quitting now.

Bet you he doesn't show back up

Any bets this one is still using?


This is why you quit now!

Don't be one of these people. Grab your balls, suck it up, and stay Quit!

Timpy,

I am bumping my own post because if you notice the first link here is one of the guys that promised he would be back to quit on Black Friday. It's here... no show so far.

Could have been you, great decision to dump it! I bet you feel great that you made it happen.

Thanks for posting that mag. Right on.

I'm starting to get some physical reactions and am wondering if they are due to my quit. I have been feeling nauseated, not from turkey, and it started after I had a cup of coffee this morning. I read something about nicotine inhibiting cafffeine intake and that quitters experience a 230 percent caffeine increase after dip. Is nausea a symptom of quitting, or is it the increased shot of caffeine now that the toxins are gone?

Yes, everything I have read says to cut down on caffenine after quitting nicotine. When first quit, I cut back on my morning coffee--it seemed to help me.
