Day 3

[SCHogfan]

This is my day three of my cold turkey attempt.

BS man...no attempt.
Do or do not...there is no try.
We are all here to help the "Do".

Oh yeah tell you friends to fornicate themselves with a gigantic wooden utensil for use in eating, stirring, measuring, ladling, etc., consisting of a small, shallow bowl with a handle. I had to tell that to some of mine and they respected me for it. Now I am a quitter and they still ppour their money and health away :D

Not gunna lie I didn't expect to see half as many people posting on this but I think thats great. This is my day three of my cold turkey attempt. Its been about 6 years 1+ can a day. got sick of it and threw the last can out the window on the way home one day. the day to day aproach is great, cus all my friends that still dip just say "youll never be able to do it" but you're right only today matters, and every individual day you can stay nic free is a day of bettering yourself

Welcome brother.

Tell your "friends" to go pound sand up their ass.
You're a fucking man who is taking control of his life. Your pussy friends can't man up and Quit with you.

Sorry smokeyg but it is never has been nor will it ever be rude to tell the nic bitch to go fuck herself.

I increased my caffeine intake, which helps my metabolism and I'm guessing my digestive health as well (since it's a stimulant). I substituted gum for all my high-risk areas (sitting in bed, driving, playing video games, watching a movie, etc.). Now I go nuts if I can't find my gum, and my trash can is full of nasty gum wads, but oh well.

I quit the last 50 days after 23 years and I have the dip dreams regularly. Its constantly the same where I freak out that I can't post roll call tomorrow. Just a dream. Posting to me is putting my word down that I quit today. That's all I can do. Quit today.

I got through the first couple weeks with the fake stuff Chattahoochee. Just to fight the oral desire to have a turd in my mouth. I thought it was cheating but after a couple weeks, I never got any more. Wasn't doing anything for me.

My approach to take control of the nic bitch has been to exercise hard. At first it was just to sap the nervous energy but now, I definitely have more energy on any given day than I've had pretty much since I can remember. I wanted to change my life to not just say I'm nic free but I'm getting healthy. I'm getting stronger. I'm running better. It feeds itself. You want to lift more. I want to get back out and run sooner. I'm replacing my dip dreams with running dreams and I'm starting to sleep right again.

I was merely informing you boys being drunk is a quit killer! it makes urges ten times worse! i have 2 strong reasons tho so ill nevevr fail! #1 my great uncle died of throat cancer and was only 33. #2 theres theres chick i love who would never forgive me if i stepped back! dont worry im on roll call forver boyss!! eclipse gum is a great replacement!!! chew that shit every day!

[J.crow37]

You're wrong. I told myslef I will never cave on this journey. was it stronger urges I have felt tonight yes. but you hafta look on your reason for being here boys! I wont ever cave, because I came here with myself a girl in mind and obviously you boys! Id never roll call this morning and let you down! and guess what im gunna roll call tomorow too! im just letting you know from experience that alcohol will make it harder, but for you boys i was willing to stay strong!! April BAMF

[Maverick55]

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark that you're drunk posting. Not a great idea. Your post below sounds as if you have caved, I certainly hope this is incorrect. I'll look for your role post tomorrow.

You're right, alcohol is a dangerous trigger.

[J.crow37]

Boys heres the advice. drinking is a quit killer.. I aint quit yet and I wont quit but the urges are ten time worse with drinks in you. stay away from drinking for the for see able future till you know your good! stay strong April Bros

[J.crow37]

Obviously we are all here for the same Health related reasons.  But Im personally on my day 3 and have already found some great pieces of help (both here and through short term experience) that have made these three days not so terrible.  So I wast just wondering when all you have that moment when you're in a trigger setting and want so bad to stuff your face full of death.  Whats your go to? What do all you use as your relaxer thought to get back into perspective? Me personally is this one girl I had always liked finally got the nuts to talk to her weve gone out a few times. and I think shes great, she never even minded the dipping, but i always just think to myself what a loser I was if I pussied out and went back to the can.

I just say to myself (out loud) "You've earned this freedom. You are quit. Life is better now." I used to tell the nic bitch to go fuck herself, but that's just rude.

Never again. Not even once. 'finger point'

I'm still working my way through it, only on day 12. Things have changed as the days have passed. The past week I've been using a lot of Smokey Mountain. Had killer munchies up until the past few days, seems to be settling down a little. Also the past 3 days or so I switched from coffee to herbal tea with honey and/or cinamon stick. Working so far. Peppermint or Sleepy Time at night is real calming.
