I have been doing really well my first 3 days working through the suck, the fog, the deadlands, whatever you want to call it. All one can honestly say for sure is that its horrible. However for some reason today, day 4 I woke up feeling the worst I had so far, I spent about 2-3 hours sweating and shaking in bed/on the couch because its my off day and having a real struggle with this quit. Been trying to make sure to stay hydrated been drinking alot of water, as far as food though my appetite is non-existent I haven't been hungry since I started this quit, I have ate but just because I know I need to eat, which is kind of weird. Any advice for me vets? |

Its a struggle your body is going through one of the most drastic changes it probably has been through. just hang in there it will go away, It takes time but your body is reprogramming itself to be without NIC. Stay strong in your quit and sleep as much as possible it seemed to help me alot with the battle. |

Well I think that is one of the main problems having a lot of trouble sleeping as well. I think as much as I don't feel like it I still need to get out and exercise or something to wear myself down. |

Do whatever it takes to keep your mind and body occupied. The freedom on the other side of the suck is worth the pain. Do whatever it takes to stay quit. |

I am doing my best, almost 4 days behind me. A good start and tomorrow I will try to win the day again. I can't wait to see the other side, I started so young I don't even remember what the other side looks/feels like anymore. |

Different for everyone but as I approached a week the constant night sweats dropped off the quit. Each crave you beat will weaken the grip on your mind. Be ready for things like anxiety to hammer down. I promise introducing nic into your blood is NOT the fix. You will heal that's for sure |

Would be nice to lose the night sweats. I think I can handle the anxiety part I have dealt with anxiety most of my life sadly, but at least I will know how to cope/deal with it in this situation. |

Night sweats -check. Mini seizures-check. Shitty sleep -check. Sore jaw and throat- check. Irritable - check. Headaches -check. Racing heart -check. Questioning existence -check. That was me and probably 98% of the guys here brother. Most of these went away within a few weeks for me. Then the real struggle for me - total mind games. But man was it worth it. Remember how shitty you feel and burn that into your memory cells. If is a great deterrent for caving Keep showing up. Keep posting roll. Get active, read everything on this site. Brother if a weak ass mofo like me can get to 385 days, you certainly can too. Just concentrate one day at a time. |

Just keep it one day a time and it makes life easier. I never want to go back to day 1 again, and I'm glad 57 days ago I decided to put in the effort and it's been paying off. I look forward to seeing your progress! PM me if you have any questions. -Dan |

Checking in boys my group and I have gotten me to Day 9 of QUIT! I couldn't be happier to make it this far into my quit and I know that I will continue to battle this EDD going forward. I am mostly out of the fog but still having alot of anxiety and cravings for dip. I have been using the fake stuff from time to time if the craving are really bad or last for a long time but trying not to use too much of it as well because not really looking to make a habit of that either. I have got through alot of triggers lately, mowing the lawn with the zero turn (takes like 2 hours), driving my truck, working down at the farm etc. It hasn't been easy and even though I am 9 days quit today, today sure as hell hasn't been easy but I made my promise to my brothers and that is worth more than any temptation the Nic Bitch can throw at me. Glad to still be quit with you all! 'oh yeah' |

Man does time fly when you buckle down, do the best you can by your group and other brothers of quit. I sit here using some fake this morning because I am having some pretty bad anxiety still and cravings still come and go. I honestly think I could do without the fake but I just think it eases the oral fixation part every once and awhile. Ordered the 5 can sampler when i started my quit and still got 1 of them so 4 cans of fake over 67 days quit don't even know if that is considered a habit. So lets jot down where we are in the QUIT, so I got me a bad ass group of Ninjas in Dec 'ninja2' and we are quit as fuck. I mean we rolling on two weeks straight of 100%, I am still 100% dedicated to my quit and I also try and do my best by new quitters if I find the time to do so. However, I lost my Grandma this week and emotionally just a wreck over that because it was long and drug out, hospice care and bedside nights etc. But it is totally normal I think to feel that way going through an event such as that. However my damn body doesn't seem to know how to deal with my emotions. I got these crazy highs and lows and just weird thoughts. Can't even begin to tell you how many times I thought about just giving in during the last week just to make the pain go away. But that isn't real, giving in to nicotine isn't going to make any pain go away. It may mask some pain, but make it go away.. no chance. I got some closure on Wednesday at the funeral and finally laid my Grandma to rest she lived a long life to 89 and was ready to move on. Next on the list is this damn anxiety, I was breaking into these massive panic attacks or anxiety attacks I have no idea what to really call them. What happens is my heart starts racing out of my chest, sweating, can't breath, scared as shit. Basically just an all around awful feeling and worrying that its going to strike you again. I have been dealing with this for about two weeks now I would say. Friday I finally broke down and went to the Dr. to talk things over and I am going to use some medication for some time to get through this, because running into the ER with these attacks is a joke. They lower your heart rate and blood pressure and send you home and you wait until it happens again. What makes me the most said about all this anxiety is that I was probably having similar things go on for several years and was masking my emotions, feelings, thoughts with a fucking can of tobacco that was ruining my health even more. I have forgave myself for that and just looking to get things back in order. With my brothers and sisters of quit here at KTC I know I can make it through this, with the most sincerity I can possible say it with I am THANKFUL for each and every one of you guys and girls that have helped me along the way!! I just hope in some way I can pay it forward. Rampant over and out! PS: Fuck you Nic Rampant 67 QLMFer! |

Rampant - First let me start by saying I'm very sorry for your loss. What a terrible thing to have to go through any time, but even worse still in the heart of the quit. My condolences. Congrats on staying quit. It is an inspiration for me that you can go through something so awful and life changing and come out on top of nictotine. For this, I will be forever grateful that you shared this post. Finally, Here is one of my stories. Take it or leave it, but in case it helps. I used to have very severe anxiety attacks like you are having and they suck. I had the Xanax and other things to help. The meds help, but they don't get rid of the problem. At least for me, after I got the balls to see a counselor for a few sessions, I found out that there was a bunch of shit in the past that was the root cause. I learned breathing techniques and they helped until I just stopped getting panic attacks. I think the cure for me was both facing the old demons and learning breathing techniques. I also used chew to combat anxiety. Fast forward to today. I'm in day 6 of my quit. I've had 100xs the anxiety I've had in years in the last 6 days. The root cause is chew. Im leaning on you and others as my foundation, my counselors, etc to face the root cause of the anxiety and the domes. For me at least, posting all this shit gets rid of the anxiety or at least lessens it a ton. Here's to hoping that just posting here in this blog helped your anxiety. Here's to learning breathing techniques. Here's to hoping you are ultimately able to determine the root cause of your anxiety, whether it is chew or something buried. We're here for you and again very sorry for your loss |
