Awesome man!

Keep up the Quit, you quitter!

[ZTravis]

It's been 4 days since I filled my lip with cancer causing shit. I have to say I am very glad that I made the decision to go cold turkey, and found this website to utilize. If anybody reading this is on the fence about quitting just do it, post roll, and communicate with the vets around here. They have helped me, they can help you. I still have a loooooong way to go, one day at a time, but I must say that each day gets a little easier. Its a great day to be quit!

Yep I am quit with you as you feel the physical withdrawel. It also helped me to take 5 really deep slow "buddha" breaths, exhaling slowly - when I had strong craves. At the conclusion of 5 slowww breaths both my mind and body were tarnsported out of crave. This has always worked for me to pass through a crave. I am glad to read of your quit, and your intro. Don't dip today, post tomorrow, use the advice of long timers. You will be just fine, and very strong.

I thought I would put a little update to my intro before i go to work. I made it through day 1 ok. I think my first major tests of will were my breaks at work. As a nicotine addict i always wanted those breaks. I would sit in the parking lot alone spitting into a cup. Well, yesterday I sat in.the break room with my buddies. They were like "what the fuck, I dont think I've ever seen you in here". This morning as day two started the craving was immense, probably worse than on day 1. I simply took some deep breaths and told myself I will not use nicotine today, and posted roll. Tomorrow is day 3, i cant wait to hit that 72 hour mark and know that the poison is out of my blood. At that point its just a mind game. Game on!

So, I've been lurking around this site for the past week reading posts and readying myself for my quit. I found this place by googling "quit chewing tobacco". I've been chewing for years, and have recently accepted that I am really just a degenerate drug addicted fool. While I do not take illegal drugs, or even regularly drink alcohol, my life is controlled by a substance just as much as a heroin junkie or alcoholic. Over the past week I have been trying to decide if I should get nicotine gum, or even the patch. Killthecan has inspired me to accept that cold turkey is in fact the only way to tackle this addiction. Last night I was driving with a lip full of skoal. A sense of urgency hit me, it was time to stop thinking about quitting and be about quitting. I threw my can out of the window and kept driving. I woke up earlier than normal today. Of course the first thing I do daily is feed my addiction. Well, today I wont be doing it, instead I am posting an intro and posting roll for the first time with the June 2013 quit group. For almost 10 years I have been chewing a can of Skoal a day. I know this is not going to be a cake walk. From what I have read this crew has a "one day at a time" philosophy. So I say to you that today I will not use nicotine! And when tomorrow comes I will make the same pledge....

Awesome State of mind! I smell some Quit here!!! We are here for you brother! You got mail!!

Welcome, I am on my third day. I can say that today's cravings have been calmer and much shorter lived. The physical part for me hasn't showed up, yet. For all I know it may not be nearly as bad of a physical addiction than it is routine and nicotine. Either way, I bought every can of Smokey Mountain herbal from wally world yesterday, haha!

Just remind yourself each during craving "tough times don't last... tough people do!"

Welcome!! I am also a June quitter. These first 3 days have sucked horribly. But today is Day4 and it is starting to get a little better. These guys kept saying to make it to the 72 hour mark and all the nic would be gone, and they are right. Today I woke up feeling alot better. So far the cravings are also a little less. I also think I got a little sleep last night with the help of melatonin. Stay strong we can do this

Yes 72 hours is the normal mark in time for the nicotene half life to get out of your system completely when no further is introduced so that is the time for when the physical withdrawl symptoms appear, and therefore you have the suck, Remember what you go through so that it fuels the strength of your quit.

After the 72 hours now it becomes that mind game. So get ready, get seeds, water, sugar free gum and hard candy (fireballs are great), toothpicks work well too. Just anything that you can throw into your mouth instead of french kissing the nic bitch. Just say No.

Be strong Be quit and believe you can do this as there are many of us who have shown that by drinking the koolade here on the site works. Day by Day.

Welcome aboard Canada Day! This is the place my friend.

Can you won't regret your decision as long as you stick with it! Your story of lurking is very much like mine. For several months that dramatic moment setting at the toilet flushing 3 cans of cope was a good reminder of my addiction. No bullshit from anyone here, this will suck! Embrace the suck (you will understand that in a few weeks).

Welcome and congrats!

Shout if you need anything.

Welcome. It sounds like a good plan. Plenty to read and learn from this site regarding the first 3 days and what to expect. You can do this.
