You are NOT weak.

Your body is not weak. It is just a machine and some of us hooked the pleasure receptor wires to the wrong thing...like nicotine. Your machine is now wired so that it tells you what you want.

You are STRONG. You can wait it out while the wires reconnect the right way and you no longer give in. You have made the decision. God can't help us and neither can Santa Claus. It is us, you and me and all these other guys that DECIDE not to drive to 7/11 for another can.

Now just be STRONG, and stand by the decision you made. I'm right there with you.

I am amazed that I just keep looking at this site and it helps.

Hey, Steve, I just wanted to chime in here about the stuff you're consuming. It does seem to be really loaded down with the carbs (starches, sugars natural and processed, etc) and not much protein.

Don't worry, I'm not going to recommend quitting the foods you like, but I've read a lot on brain function, and our brains actually do need a good bit of protein, just like the rest of our bodies. If you can make a way to include some lean meats, beans, fat free cottage cheese, oatmeal, eggs, etc, it'll probably go some way toward helping your body and your nerves feel more satisfied.

Not to confuse you, you still probably have a few more days of jitters and so forth, but getting some good protein will help.

Oh, and by the way, hell yes you can rant and rave. Posting roll every day give you carte blanche to do just about anything except use nicotine, and we can take WAY more abuse than anyone else, so let us have it, full force.

Yep, sure sign of a Quitter. You're doing great Steve. When you emerge from the craves and the fog, you'll feel like a fucking champion in this arena, and you'll use this feeling to take on your next dragon. Just keep on, one day at a time. Come back tomorrow and promise me you won't use nicotine.

Way to go Steve. Triggers haven't been so bad for me. Maybe thats just me trying to rationalize it right now though. But physically I'm hurting right now. I feel fine during the day and at night I feel like I'm gonna die. I'm getting sick, headaches, chills, heat stroke and whatever other sign of death there is.
It's been 4 days now and its gotten better at least. So I have that going for me. Sitting here all day and going one day at a time has helped so much. This is 4 days longer than I've gone when trying to quit.
Hope you at least feel better than me right now.

No need to say sorry. I'm just talking about my experience. I would rather feel like this than go back to that bitch nicotine. All I've done is complain tonight. But I will get past it.

See you at roll call when I wake up in the morning.

All the bullshit topped out at about a week for me. Finally this morning, Day 16 for the first time since the quit I didn't think about a chew until I got to work and logged on to KTC. This shit works man. Quit for today, they'll add up and you'll see that you'll think less and less about it. You're doing great, keep it up quit brother!
Your mind is a lying, cheating, stealing whore. Your body is a saint. Now, who are YOU going to listen to?

Nicotine doesn't give two shits about your strategery, and that's just a fact. Only strategy that works is promise not to use nicotine first thing every morning, keep that promise all day, rinse, repeat. - teamgreen
