adopting the "Nike" slogan; Tired of doing this shit

So....Day 3...Think I'm just going to forget numbering the days...Each day is day one. Guess that makes it much easier for me to think about; its a hell of a lot easier to get to one than it is to ten. Anyways, still sticking to this and going strong. Its great to have all the support. As opposed to the last times I tried to quit, I told everyone I was quiting this time, at work, home, friends, family. They all are holding me accountable now and giving me some support. Makes it a hell of a lot easier.

However, this weekend might be a little tough. Heading out for opening weekend of South Zone dove season. We'll be at our deer lease and w/ a bunch of other country back woods dudes who dip like there is no tomorrow. Any advice on this one is welcome....

You should pick up some fake stuff! Also....and I know this will be tough.......lay off the booze. Don't know if you are a drinker or not but if you are hanging out with buddies that dip and drinking heavily yourself you may end up caving due to not thinking clearly due to the alcohol! Just my 2 cents..........hope it helps

That's what I was thinking...As hard as it will be, I'm planning on staying sober. It's only a two day trip, and one of the days will be spent mostly on our lease working. And we always stop at a smokehouse on the way down there and pick up some jerkey, so figured I could load up on that. I've tried the fake snuff, and i'm not really a fan. Besides, I don't want to replace the habit w/ something that similar, I don't want anything between my cheek and gum anymore.

Day 7 and making it happen....I feel like I have enough will power and self restraing to do just about anything right now. Got back from the weekend hunting trip and didn't have anything besides some seeds between my cheek and gum...This was hard as hell to do, since everyone there dips or smokes, but the only form of nicotine I had was unwanted second hand smoke that I couldn't get away from. On the drive home yesterday, I don't think I've felt that good in a while...Just proud I stuck to it, and I really felt like its for good this time. I know its not over yet, but I feel like this weekend was a huge test and I passed w/ flying colors.

I remember the first day I passed a big self imposed mental test, the freedom was intoxicating. I am very happy for you, keep up the great work.
I am proud to quit with you today.

This is one of the "personal victories" I keep referring to. Congrats on your success. These things strengthen your quit many times over, don't they?

Absolutely....Its honestly sparking a total life change...I'm seeing who I am right now in a different light and realize the need to change a lot of things about me. I've started to eat better, excercise much more, and have become very forthcoming w/ my wife about everything....That sounds much worse than it is, but I was constantly lying about this deceased habit of mine, and occassionally would catch myself telling a lie about what this 5$ was for or that 10$ was for. I couldn't be happier that I came across this site. All the support is awesome and really encouraging, and it keeps me honest and accountable everyday.

Day 8...not sure, but think I'm entering the fog...Been kind of irritable, nothing much, but more than usual...But the biggest difference is I keep saying the most random shit. It's like I don't have a filter, and whatever pops into my head gets blurted out. Then, after a minute or two, I think about it and just wonder why I said that. I also keep forgetting things. I guess I'm not really paying close enough attention, or I get distracted easily. Lack of focus mainly. Any suggestions?

I kinda liked the fog, I found it relaxing. In all seriousness the only things that helped me were workouts, I found that if I could work up a good sweat and really get the blood flowing my head would clear for awhile.
You are doing great, keep it up. Whether it's the suck, the fog, or irritatiblity they all improve a ton with each day.

You might be entering the fog if ............

- I keep saying the most random shit.
- I also keep forgetting things.
- I get distracted easily.


Yep. You are in the fog. You might turn on your fogtard lights. It will just last a few weeks. You can do it.

That said, lets start a list.

Man, tough day at work today...It was the first time I really REALLY wanted a dip...Said no though, went up and down 10 flights of stairs twice, instead. Glad I stayed quit.

Do what you gotta do to keep nicotine away..you signed roll this morning so nicotine wasn't even an option...right?

Don't let your pea-sized brain (at least mine is pea-sized) try to justify why you can have dip. Tell it to STFU.

Great job defending against the urge..they will come and go..
