Hang in there, bro. If I can do it, you can do it. Chew some seeds, cuss at a coworker, send a text to another quitter telling them nicotine sucks. You do have some numbers, right?

WHATEVER IT TAKES. Read that again. You can do this, just for today.

It means nic is leaving your body and your body pH is changing. Terrible symptoms but a positive sign.

Today is a good day. On the way home from work I picked up a can at the c-store. A can of that mint snuff-cinnamon flavor. It was sort of a let down because I think my mind was expecting something different. Still, it was better than the alternative. So now I am on my way home and its foggy with not a cloud in the sky and the sun shining bright, yet still foggy. And some jackass in front of me decides he needs to get off the highway right away causing a chain reaction wreck with my foggy ass involved. Luckily I was the engine and didn't hit anyone in front of me, but the car behind me slammed into my rear. This would have been one of those times that I would have pulled out my old friend nic and to make matters even worse, one of the other drivers gets out of his car and lights up a cigarette. Can't tell you how bad I wanted to ask him for one. Anyway, I made it through and because of that I know that this can be done.

I was lied to and have been living in the darkness for far too long. This will be a life long struggle but it can be done. I read about all the success stories and think about myself being able to say 100 days, 200 days, and on and on. That gives me motivation and a drive to quit. Just for today and then another day until there is no more wanting of a substance that kills me. Screw nicotine and all it is and screw those people who profit off of nicotine addiction! Today is a good day. Free From Nicotine Today!

Wow, don't even know how to explain the last several days. Very few highs with many lows. It takes every ounce of energy I have each day to keep from giving in. I didn't think that this site would be able to help as much as it has. It is very therapeutic to be able to talk with others who are going through the same things you are and to talk with those who have already been there and can help you through the weak times.

Yesterday, my wife asked if I started dipping again because of my good mood. It an incredible feeling to tell her no, I am free for the first time in my adult life. My life has always in some form or fashion revolved around nicotine. I have never been without it for any great length of time in the past 18 years. This time is so different from the other times I said I quit because always in the back of my mind, I knew that the day would come where I would cave. No more, never again. This is a battle that I intend on winning. Admitting that it is an addiction was the first step. Now it is rearranging my life to where there is no room for that nasty stuff to have any place in it. Today I quit and God willing for the rest of my life! There is no other alternative........

One thing that may help you is to pick a random quit group that existed before yours. Read from day 1. As you move forward in time you will see the progress that lays ahead of you. You will see the freedom begin to shine from the quitters. You will be forewarned of the funks and pitfalls that lay ahead.

You will laugh as you learn that bad ass quitters on this site struggled...as we all did. It is good stuff.

Quitting is a rollercoaster in the beginning but it gets better. X2 on Scowick's advice. Read some older groups and see what they went through.

PM me if you need anything.
