A New Day

[Erussell]

I am reflecting on my 200th day quit. The elevator just dinged 2nd floor and I can see a little further today. It seemed to take 3 years just to get to that first 100 days. Now it seems like yesterday I was slipping my HOF coin in my pocket. It's not as hard today as day one, but I acknowledge that nicotine is still around the corner whispering my name.

My advice to those of you who are just quit - keep going one day at a time!! Yes today seems like it sucks, but you are free. Free to live for yourself and your loved ones. My advice to those of you are contemplating your quit - just do it. There is no better time that right now. Yes you - you with the fatty in right now - spit it out - suck it up - and go post a day 1.

Congrats. That is awesome Jbuilder. And thanks for the wise words for us newbies.

I am guessing all the talk about my 100 day was the primer for my dream last night.  I have heard a lot about dip dreams, but until last night was free from this curse.     We were at an NHRA drag event that was co sponsered by KTC.   I have never met LOOT in real life, but we were talking.  He was the driver for the quit car.  In protest a bunch of race fans put their half full cans of dip all over the dragster.   All of a sudden a bunch of quitters came out of no where.  We were all pissed off and were chunking the cans behind a fence. 

However, after Loot goes out to race I jump the fence and without hesitation grab a lip full.    The dream was so real that I first dizzy like the rush of your first dip.  Then I felt the shame.   I woke up and was like "phewwww", but I still feel guilty.

I had one just last week. They still happen even 300+ days later. That nic bitch still is in there somewhere.

Remember this everyone, you probably like me chewed for 10-20+ years. It takes a while to rewire that kind of addiction.

Stay close to the site, post roll and do it every day.

Up until you got that dip, I was imagining this scene:

Skip to 5:30 if you are impatient

But, then that would be like Mace Windu suddenly turning and chucking his lightsabre at the other Jedi when that dream took its weird turn.

I just had my first cave dream last week, and let me tell you it does mess with your head. Those feelings of guilt and shame are real, but the cave isn't. Just know it's a dream, and move on.

You're doing a great job, man.

Skip to 5:30 if you are impatient Geonosis, probably the best scene / battle in the movie. "I've got a bad feeling about this" around 1:45

Hey everyone!  I started my quitting journey today.  I am 5 1/2 hours into the day without a chew yet, and to be honest, it's killin me.  I have been chewing gum all day to help with the cravings, and it seems to be doing the job.  I heard the first 2 weeks are the toughest, and it gets easier after that.  Glad to be a part of this community and am looking forward to talkin with y'all a bit more! 

Congrats to all of ya on making your decision to quit chewing!

Good for you. Welcome to a group of good but crazy folk who have been addicted to nicotine and are quit. There is more stuff posted and in nooks and crannies on this site than I ever dreamed. It helps me to steep myself in quit reading and talk here every day, so that I am not alone in my quit. Living well is worth the struggles most of us have experienced during our withdrawal. I learned about how my mind sometimes joines up with my addiction for periods of a few minutes until a craving goes away. I am quit with you today.

Jhawth25. Congratulations on your decision to quit. The first thing you want to to is head to the welcome center. You can do that here Welcome Center


Next you need to find your quit group. Based on your quit date you will be in May 2013. This is the month that you will hit 100 days. You will post daily that you promise to not use nicotine for 24 hours. The next day you will repeat this promise. You can find your quit group here May 2013

You can learn how to post roll here: How to post roll

The next few days will suck. However, start by counting the hours. Before you know it, your body will be free of nicotine around 72 hours from your last dip. We are a nicotine free site, so don't even think about nic patches, nic gum or nic lozenges. We are quitters here. Feel free to stock up on seeds, bubble gum, cough drops, etc. Also, a lot of guys will use the fake stuff such as Hooch or Smokey Mountain Chew.

I am going to PM you my contact info. Call, text or email me if you have questions or feel you are about to cave.

With your determination and the resources on this site you can be free!!

It's awesome, and somewhat easier, to have people that are going through the exact same thing. It really is a test of mind and body to quit this stuff!

Great HoF speech, J. Those dreams... Fuck, tey suck. I've had 4 in 171 days, so I actually consider myself pretty lucky. One, I woke up crying from the disappointment and shame... Pretty powerful stuff. I think being reminded of that shame and pain isn't a bad thing. It's a kick in the pants we could all use time and again.
