Yeah the hotel life and being away from support would make it tougher. I also hear ya on the sleep issue. I was never much of a morning person but all of sudden wide awake at 3 or 4 am. Which i don't mind but I'm passing out ti r ed by 7 or 8 in evening which really sucks because girlfriend is a damned nightowl. The sleep thing seems to be getting back to normal a bit but what I'm most thankful for.........my bathroom habits coming back as well. Keep up the solid fucking work my man. In this with ya. Quit today..........

I live in a hotel room 4 nights a week for work. It's been a bitch, I'd get back to my room before my quit and pound the shit. First few nights of my quit I literally didn't sleep much more than an hour or two per day. Tack on caffeine to make it through the next day and whoa - recipe for disaster. Had to figure out how to balance that quickly.

Sleep issues are gone for most part, but raging cravings kick in almost daily. My wife is tired of my shit, she's happy I am doing this but I've really worn out her tolerance mostly because of my work commitment so I can't get much support from her when I am gnashing my teeth through a craving.

Funny part about your excessive seeds, fake chew, etc on your pass seat story. My crutch is spicy beef jerky. My backpack is jammed full of the shit at the start of each week...so much so that's it's actually comical to me. The wife is a therapist and I think she calls that the placebo effect or something like that. You take comfort in knowing its there more than the comfort it actually provides.

Halfway into a 3 hour road trip to portland the bitch whispered in my ear. I looked over to the passenger seat and set up like a fuc k you bitch militia was ; bag of sunflower seeds, zip lockbag of hard candy and cough drops, sugar free gum, and 2 cans of smokey mountain. Overkill to extreme but works for me. Got me over the crave and into portland all for the better. Few minor road rage issues (I have been testy but working on that side effect and getting better. Just wanted to share with all my quit is strong and I will go to any means to nurture and get it to my tommorow. Have a great weekend. Quit on July and all my brothers. Blake.

Arguments with the missus are gonna happen, I have been in full blown "I am quit, so all my verbal filters are off" mode for over a month now, and have asked several times to watch my language in the house. I blame nicotine 99% and the Red Wings 1% for my potty mouth.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

I have been tested........and I have passed. Good hour long argument with the missus. Thought I'd go to the mini mart and do a really stupid thing to ease my pain. It's been the biggest crave in awhile. My quit is strong and no one or no thing will come between me and my quit. As this crave passes -as I know they all shall pass - I am resolute and these 15 days quit give me strength. I am quit today.
Strong work!! Way to stay committed. Remind the missus that you are still very fragile and to be patient. Also remember that the lack of nic makes you a bigger asshole than normal. Try to bite your tongue until you can get on here and bitch somebody out. You are welcome to rage at me....in fact, I dare you. It gets better, 15 days is solid. Keep stacking +1s.
Way to hang in Scoot. It's tough...but you're tougher. Quit like fuck!

Hi. I've been a Kodiak dipper for 32 years give or take. Finally ijust got tired of being a slave to something that wants to kill me. I been quit now for 48 days (march 3rd 10:00 pst) to be exact. It hasnt been easy......ive used nicotine gum and smokey mountain herbal which has been just wonderful. Such good lasting flavor has really helped thru the rough patches. I'm looking for support and companionship down this long road that ive begun. Thanks for your time. Any suggestions or help most welcome. Blake
Been there, done that. 10 years and addict, 1 year trying to kick it with nic gum/lozenge/patch, and 5 days completely quit. Come on in, quit with me.
I was a ninja dipper, but I will have a berserker quit - Here's some encouragement

NEVER Ring the Bell! Watch this. It will change your life.

When a crave hits watch this.

"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be Kind Always."

?Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good. ? ~ Vince Lombardi

"We all have our own demons that we face on a day to day basis. Some we can talk to others about. Some that we have to work through on our own. ...the nic bitch continues to knock on the doors my friends. Stay strong, stay vigilant." - Fireheeler; 6/11/14 in AUG14

Never cured, but quitting like this

What cost is too high?
