Day 19...

I actually don't feel too bad except for two things:

1. Headache...continuous tight band headache (sore jaw - may be clenching teeth at night????)
2. Something like restless leg syndrome when lying down or relaxing at night (kind of itching on the inside???)

I'm sure these are just some anxiety related issues. Hopefully it will get better soon!

Don't feel bad about using the fake stuff. At this point job 1 is not putting nicotine in your body and aside from posting roll those are your only 2 jobs.

I am a UGA grad who interestingly quit on May 18th, 2014 - 1 year before you did. I also dipped for 22+ years. I was thinking back to last Memorial Day and I was craving like a son of a bitch - Smokey Mtn saved me on Friday afternoon last year and I still remember it. Use all your tools here. Get involved with your quit group and get some numbers of other guys. I still text on a regular basis with guys in my August 2014 group. The freedom you will start to feel is incredible.

Glad to quit with you today and Go Dawgs.

Send me a PM if you ever need anything or have any questions

Well 10:00 am this morning was 72 hours since my last dip. Not as bad as I thought to be honest. I am wore out however. I guess it takes a lot of energy ignoring the craves, etc. Going strong for now!
Energy well spent pard.... Crazy cool how you are stopping the cycle of passing on an addiction to those 3 boys of yours.
They will follow you. Keep being an example. We need more dad's like you.

Congrats on 72 hours, it's officially out of your system, and before you know it, it will be out of your mind and life.
I quit with you and your boys today. Well done dad!

I have three boys that all have said that I need to quit. I am doing this for me, but I know that they will be proud as well. I think it scares them a little to be honest. How selfish of me to put them through worrying about something like that?
Welcome to KTC Dawg3. This is what its all about. Sticking around for your boys. Yeah, you have to do it for yourself but you can do it for them too. Well done, you made a great decision to quit!
Thanks rdad. I appreciate the support!

Thanks Jerk11 and landdon. I appreciate the support. I have quit drinking, smoking, and caffeine. I figured it was time for this last vice to go. I appreciate the support.
I gave up caffeine May 2013, and had my last can of Skoal every day for almost 2 years. Proud to be double quit with you.
Thanks quark. Proud to be double quit with you as well!
