You don't need those anyway. You sir are a bad ass quitter with 11 hard fought days under your belt. Great job.

I used to think that I would no longer enjoy things like hunting, fishing, golfing, playing poker because I always used those times to get my nic fix. Time proved me wrong and now I enjoy them even more and am not hampered down by it. Live free and rediscover life.
What^^^^^Buffalo said! I wrapped chew around every activity. 158 days ago I put down the can absolutely terrified wondering how i would survive. Three things I can tell you:
1) it was not easy
2) it gets better
3) You will never feel better about yourself

I quit with you today!

used to chew all the time when I was working out. one hard adjustment is getting motivated to work out w/out chew. I have not liked any fake stuff from past tries--just not the real thing. I made some homemade fake stuff --shredded carrot, celery, apple and some coffee--not bad. Anyone else have any good substitutes or suggestions?
When I read this post it reminds me of the sage words of SkoalMonster. Nicotine does not fill the hole, it creates it.

I bet you love to work out, but, nicotine has created such a hole you can no longer enjoy something you enjoy. :unsure:

The reason you don't like the substitutes is because...wait for it...they don't have nicotine. Just think about that? That is just how much nicotine affects our brain, brain mechanics and psychology. Poison, pure poison.

My suggestion is to take your life back from the nic bitch. Go in there and workout and damn enjoy it even if she is not there with you. No more romanticizing. Tell her she is dumped. No longer wanted. Want to really piss her off. Tell her working out is better without her. 'na na'

Well dude, you made it a week, that's fucking AWESOME!!!

EAT SHIT DIESEL, YOU KNOW NOTHING HACK!!!

I'm sure that week wasn't easy but, you might as well keep going now. Just keep adding +1 everyday and things will get easier.

Congrats on proving me wrong (dissent happen often :lol: ). Keep it rolling. Need anything , hit me up anytime.
Thanks for the motivation--you really helped me get through the first week

I have no idea how I did not cave on Friday, that was extremely tough

Craves seem oddly strong today but the foggy cloud has disappeared---keep thinking good thoughts for me, still very early--been reading some of the vets history --motivating makes me want to get to those numbers some day but got to focus on today --read something I liked from Phil16 "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift. that's why its called the present. My quit has a one day shelf life, it is renewed each morning and consummated throughout the day as each crave is beat to a bloody pulp. "

Sounds stupid but just needed a response/support --and you guys sent in the big dogs "Diesel"

Shits flushed --made it through --feels like I'm back at day 1 body is shaking and shit--but no way to get nic tonight

Unreal---you vets speak the truth Nic's a cruel bitch --no worries I'm clean and will post roll tomorrow for day 5

Thanks for your thoughts

robbie
Does not sound stupid at all. You're right on track. Keep grinding.

It sucks right now, we all know that because we've all been in your exact shoes. I didn't think you'd make it 5 hrs let alone 5 days. 5 days is fucking huge though.

Might as well keep going. You only want to do this shit once.

Listen to me when I say this because its the 100% Gods honest truth. Things will get better. The pain and struggle in the early days is absolutely worth it.

Every day you go without and every hurdle you clear, like you did tonight by throwing out your nic tacs and not "speed cruising" through your sons teething episode add up. Eventually those little victories add up and that huge rock you're pushing right now inch by inch, WILL GAIN momentum and start to roll. Its just gonna take time.

The pysical parts a bitch and rewiring your brain is tough, but I'm proof that anybody can do it.

You cannot imagine how great it feels to be free, to not be a slave, to not turn to a can every time the going gets tough. Its beyond beliefe. I wish I would have quit sooner. I dont need dip and never did. Nobody does.

Keep fighting bro, and don't be afraid to reach out to us, rage, bitch, whine, cry or complain. We are here for you.

Wow, this shit is powerful! My son is teething like crazy and has a cold so he is a irritable as can be --usually I would throw a nice big Skoal in and space cruise so I tell my wife to get some sleep I'll watch him. Searching through cabinets for his Tylenol to chill him out I find a container of 2 unknown nic lozenges that did not get flushed in the initial quit plan-- all time freezes. You can't write this shit!
Take them to the toilet...plop plop flush.

God didn't put us on this earth to "space cruise" through life. You're little man is teething. Throwing in some skoal won't do anything to make that better. In fact it might kill you.

Even though he's driving you nuts right now, I'm sure you'd like to see your son grow up to be a man. One bad pinch of skoal could literally kill that dream.

Never again for any reason. We are here for you.
