Hello

[srans]

Interesting mountain bike ride without dip.

I felt dizzy driving all the way to the trail which is a 35 mile trip. Once on the bike, I felt really weird like I was floating above the bike and kind of looking down on it. I was certain I was going to hit a lot of trees and crash a lot but I actually rode really well.

The odd thing was that I was riding pretty easy- first because I felt bad and second because it was 98 degrees but, when I was finished, I downloaded my computer and my average MPH was exactly the same as it was last Saturday during a hammer-fest. My avg heart rate was also lower than normal. I am certain that it is too soon to see this by the cessation of nicotine but you never know, the body is a strange thing.

I'm not going to lie, I pulled off a couple of times just to cool down and each time, I reached into my pocket for my can only to feel a little saddened that it wasn't there. I would say that all in all, I felt better on the bike than I do off of it right now. I may even go for a road ride with my wife tonight.

Oh, I am posting roll call, I was bumped this morning but I added myself back on, hopefully I wasn't bumped again.

My gut feels a little better right now and I had a craving for a double-meat cheeseburger on my way home so I got one. Who does that?...lol...

Way to hold it together on the ride. Do not be saddened that the can was not there during your brief stops --- be happy. You don;t need poison in your veins to ride. This is a big step and you should be proud. BTW... Who gets a double cheese burger on the way home -- a bad azz quitter, bro. That is who. Nice job today. Hold strong and close out this day strong.

You got some extra cash dude. Buy two of those burgers and a milkshake. 35 miles and 98 degrees. Im tired just thinking about it. Wtf. Good job... Let's wake up tomorrow post roll, wait until it hits 100 degrees and do 40. Glad to be quit with you.

I'm here guys, trying to figure out why this forum board doesn't have a "multi-quote" function so I can easily reply to all that have commented.

How many hours was yesterday? Seemed like almost exactly 393 hours and 32 minutes...whew....

Well, I made it through a day and I'm still alive and I didn't kill anyone. Concentration is poor, pretty foggy and on edge. What the heck is up with my...ummm...bathroom routine? I am a 7:30 am guy rain or shine, never had an issue in my life. Yesterday just a lot of weird noise and nothing. Today, my gut feels just kind of unstable.

I have a very flexible job so I just took it easy yesterday and tried not to do anything important. Today, I have to do a couple of reports but then I am going to go mountain bike. I have never been on a bike without a dip so that should be fun. Actually, I always considered my dip as a throttle-stop while biking, once the tension got high and I could see someone was going to take off, I would spit it out and then I was "ready to go". I will just try to go hard out of the gate and make sure I am sucking eggs so I wouldn't be able to dip...even if I was a dipper.

Anyway, thanks for all the words of encouragement, they really do help.

Yes that bathroom interuption is normal, lol. And hell of a job on yesterday, it gets better and better with every passing day, each time you forge thru a crave you get stronger and stronger. Stay the coarse today and while on that bike just remind yourself (how wonderful it is you can bike without having to worry with that nasty shit that was actually killing you and robbing you of energy on your bike) what an awesome bike ride it will be. I quit with you every minute and hour all day today bro.

tobacco is a laxitive....thats why your guts are off. Your body is rewiring even your sphincter....long way to rewire. When I quit I shit and puked my guts out for 2days with body aches pains from sweat to chills. Its all the poison leaving your system. You didnt fuck your body up over night and its not going to fix itself over night.

I am curious to see how your output on your cycle will be once you get through all of this. Keep us posted.

PM me if you need anything.

Your going to mountain bike fine without The poison. Probably surprise you how much you don't need it. That mountain bike will not go faster or up a hill easier cause you have a mouth full of poison. From race car drivers to walking on the Moon. People make it every day without the poison. Just another day of freedom my friend. Glad to be quit with you.

Great job so far. Now, if you haven't yet, open that October quit group thread and post roll. That simple act, a promise to a bunch of strangers that you won't use nicotine today, works wonders.

Glad to see your here. About the guts, just pretend your old. When you get old nothing works like it once did. Sometimes nothing happens other times you can't stop it. Lol. It's just part of quitting that some deal with. I'm a pm away if ya need anything. (I won't wipe your ass)

Looking for you today ParadigmDawg don't forget to post.

I am quit for 148 days after 40 years of Copenhagen as you know it is not easy but there are a lot of people here to support your quit. You simply need to ask for the help. If you need someone to check on you PM me and I will send you my number.

Looking for you today Paradigm. Don't let yourself (and me) down.

I am an avid cyclist and spend all my free time on a road or mountain bike. My nutrition is good, my cardio is awesome and I am pretty much a health-nut so I just have to kick this one bad habit and set myself free.

Oh the irony. I also would mountain and road bike with a dip in back in the day. I hated it, but did it anyways...

Don't worry about kicking this habit. Take control over your addiction one day at a time. At over 5 years quit, I still post roll daily to remain accountable and in control. I've also fallen victim to the "just one" around a year or so. With this community as a foundation for your quit, you will have the tools required to overcome any pitfalls. Congrats on a great decision and welcome!

I remember stopping in the gas station to pick up some poison during a run and receiving a mini-lecture from the clerk about doing something healthy just to stop in to buy this crap... I wasn't very appreciative nor receptive to his comments at the time but I knew then as I know now that he was right.

Nicotine never helped anything.

It's an addiction. No such thing as "just one" for an addict. You found out the hard way. As did I. Quit in 2001 for ten or so days. Left town for a wedding and thought I could dip that weekend and the drive back and then quit again on Monday. Another decade of being a slave to a can of chopped up cat turds passed before I got the courage to really quit.

The good news is that you now know first hand that there is no such thing as "just one." You're either a slave or free. Your choice.

Post roll every day. This takes away any "choice" to dip if you're a man of your word.

Yell if you need anything.

hay man just one thing these guys dint make cleer. pickin your nose is a bad habit. what your fitin is called adicktshun. it aint to dip. its a adicktshun to nickateen. it dont end after a month or 100 days or a year. its evry day for the rest a your life. and all most just like taht smoky dude i come here to fite day by day. only for me its only 4 and a haff years and not 5. but man evin when i get to 5 years i still plan on postin up roll.
