7 days without. 10,222 days with. Why did it take so long to step up? Started back in college, same story I've read here before what seems like a thousand times. Skoal bandits, quickly moved to Copenhagen and used that for a long time until even I couldn't stand the smell. Tried Cherry Skoal and that was my demon. Had it in all the time until my dentist said I was going to start losing teeth if I didn't stop. Switched to Skoal Snus, finally decided enough was enough. For day 7 I'm feeling OK. Making it through the weekend was a big deal. I taught my body how to handle the stuff, now I'm teaching it how not to need it. It's going to be Ok. Right?

You'll be fine if you call this group of degenerates fine! We are all a bunch of addicts that have one thing in common, that is that we all quit each day and promise not to use nicotine in any form today. Hell yes we are fine, we are finally fine, we are winners not wieners anymore. ( well I think there are acouple of wieners out there still) Sarcasm

It's going to be Ok. Right?

I started my freshman year in college and was a slave for the next 21 years. Stumbled across this place 273 days ago. To answer your question, absolutely. Embrace the principles here and keep you word.

It gets so much easier. I have a hard time even remembering my last crave. Sure it is difficult in the beginning but only go thru that once. If I can do it, you can do it.

Freedom is a great thing.

Yes sir it will be okay. Post roll, concentrate on one day at a time. PM if I can help in any way.

It will get better! Keep it simple, post roll every morning, keep your word. Reach out to others, read everything on this site when things are tough. You are doing great, keep it up!

Hell yes its going to be okay. 7 days!!!! Pat yourself on the back. You are still going to be walking through hell. Just keep walking. :)

You should have days that are hard and then as your head clears and begins to stop thinking like an addict, you will be disgusted at everything about tobacco.

I have a new modo. Love the addict, hate the addiction. Just my two cents here. The quit is manageable if you post roll every day. Only think about the day at hand. No future thoughts.

My weakest day was day 28 when I thought about doing this for years. Never, every, ever, ever, let your mind think one year to even the rest of your life being tobacco free. Just commit to say no more nic today. If you wake up tomorrow, like brushing your teeth in the morning, get addicted to having to post roll and promise to quit for that day.

I am on day 41 now. I am out of hell and free. I don't have tobacco and my addiction holding me back. The shackles are off me. I hate tobacco. I would love to see that terrorist organization die. The only way to do that is to get people to think clearly and stop being recruited by that terrorist organization.

I will not give them my money, time, loyalty. I will not glamorize or entertain thoughts of tobacco being pleasurable. When those thoughts come, I remind myself of the smell, the deceptions, the money spent and I fight.

Finally, get some friends on the site. Go into chat and stay close. Laugh and embrace the suck! IT IS GOING TO BE OKAY. Post roll, keep your word and repeat the next day you wake.

A week is big, pmurr! Congrats . . . .

Here's the deal:
Post roll every day promising not to use the poison.
Keep your word.
Repeat the next day.
Build accountability here at KTC.
Keep involved.

And you will succeed!

It'll suck at first, but your life is worth the fight. Right?

Of course you're going to be okay! What's the worst that can honestly happen to you? Discomfort? Stress? We're all going to be feeling it shoulder to shoulder, we're all going to get through it the same way.

I mean shit, it could be worse. We could all be addicted to meth and have our skin start falling off or perish in our sleep from not getting our fix. But by the grace of God, this is as shitty as it gets.

So, chin up! By the left quick march, carry on with the advance! etc

Oh, and welcome! I've been about 24 hours without so far (longest I've ever got was about 10 days or so last summer) and I'm feeling the burn already. Love it.
