Do you know what this feeling is? F-R-E-E-D-O-M. Your body is going bananas because you have removed the nicotine pacifier from your mouth. Your body has become so dependent upon that poison to function that by removing it from the calculus has thrown your body for a loop. Your brain is now getting oxygen it had long been deprived of, your emotions are functioning with an anesthetic, and you ARE WINNING! It sucks for awhile, no lie, but unless you are a complete sadist, you will never look back on a day that you were clean and wish you had poisoned yourself that day.

Grind it out these first few days and you will be done with physical stuff. Either you control nicotine or nicotine controls you. Your choice my man.

Hi Team,

I have three kiddos and a wife who put up with me; and I want to stop being a selfish and moody asshole to them. I don't want to spend $2,000/year to be a slave to nicotine any more. I don't want to poison my body.

But today I am struggling. I started Monday (28 September, Day 0) wearing a 21mg patch. The patch didn't do jack for my 15 year 1-2 tin/day habit, so I decided to rip the patch off and go completely nicotine free for Tuesday. This week has been hell. I almost caved multiple times. I have quit so many times before, but I want this one to stick. I ordered some herbal stuff off the internet, but it doesn't arrive until tonight. I shoved coffee grounds in my mouth this morning, and I might keep doing that to get through today. As I type this, it feels like every single nerve is exposed on my body; there is a demon squeezing my heart; my body is screaming at me to give in and silence the pain.
Ok we are here for you brother. The great news is you are 3 days into the best decision of your life. I promise, 3 more days from now you will lokk back and see that day 3-5 were a bitch and it will be gradually getting better. Take your ass straight to "QUIT GROUPS", then scroll down to Jan 2016 quit group on the lower half of the page. Here you will post roll. This will be the foundation of your quit. Each morning login, post roll and promise your brothers and sisters here that you will remain nic free for the whole day. Accountability. They will do the same. Brotherhood. You can do this, just like we are doing it every single day. We are all addicts just like you, who currently are going through the same things or recently have. Stay strong, and just quit for today!
This is the best decision of you life. Get rid of the patch. Cold Turkey is the only way to go. The nicotine is almost out of your body. Chug loads of water, chew the shit out of gum, candy, the fake stuff. put anything in your mouth you can except for that nic bitch. read everything you can on ths site. It definately helps when you are starting to feel those cravings. Post roll EDD, make the promise, keep the promise, wake up the next day and do it again. One Day at a Time (ODAAT) is how we roll. Your support is right here!

I know you are quit because that was a great description of the suck! Cold Turkey is the only way. I patched for a month and it was a total waste of time. Quit Like Fuck today!

I like that attitude, shove anything in your mouth that you need to over the next few days except for dip, and soon you will be sailing fine. You have a bad case of withdrawal symptoms as your brain gets used to being off nicotine. Now you know what a grip this drug has on your brain, and now that you know, how can you ever go back to being a slave?

Have patience, trust the advice you are getting here, and believe in yourself. You only need to get through today. Don't worry about the forever, you only live in the present.

Welcome to KTC Fowlmouth,
I know you are feeling like shit right now and are in the middle of the "suck". Just worry about today. ODAAT really does work. In time you will look back on what you are going through and just feel grateful to never have to go thru this again. Life on the other side of the suck and being truly free from nicotines clutches is freaking awesome! You just have to hang in there day by day to find out. Good job posting roll. That is the key to all of this craziness!

Good Stuff Fowl! Congratulations. Pete is 100% spot on. You are only going to start feeling better if you stop. If you cave and try and come back, you will have to go through these tough days again, and it will be even harder.

Stay with it brother, dive into this site, read lot. Get to know your quit brothers. they are really starting to come together.

Proud to be quit with you today!
