4 days and counting.
« on: October 07, 2010, 09:09:42 pm »
I have been tobacco free for 4 days!!!!!  :'(
I am about ready to eat a hole in my cheek. Gum sucks, toothpicks suck, candy just don't cut it. ARRRRRRRGH. How the heck do people do it?  ???
I can't even stand myself right now.
I tried to make something or knap or something to keep me busy, but I don't have the attention span to complete a thought right now. I have dipped or chewed tobacco since I was 13yrs old. I even smoked cigars and cigs. I LOVE TOBACCO!!!!!!!!!!
Man some days really suck bad.

When I quit dipping 5 1/2 years ago I nearly beat the pockets off my clothes for the first two or three weeks. After that it got a little easier after the first month I had it beat. I think the biggest thing I had going for me is that I really wanted to quit real bad. Good luck hang tough it aint easy but it is doable.Good luck. Ron

 Take  an empty Dip can and fill it with,, ??? ::), cow poop, worm droppings or something like that. Then when you reach for a dip out of habit it will teach you to break that hand habit while the addiction is passing.

I haven't had a pinch between my cheek and gums in 10 years now, and I still crave Copenhagen.  It'll get better man, just got to tough it out for a couple of weeks.  It's not a cake walk after that, but it is much easier.

i quit smoking 2 years ago.  sometimes i do still think about it.  but i just figured that itll always be a thing im trying to quit even after 20 years.  they say it rewires your brain to need it..

yup going on three for me,after 28 years of smoking i quit cold turkey
still crave em every now and again
especially ifn i am letting loose and having a few cocktails(which isnt often)
but other than that i cant stand them at all anymore
i hate the smell of it on people,around people,in peoples cars,cant figure out how and the hell i put up with it for that long

YOU CAN DO IT
and youll be a better and happier and healthier person for it
dont give up on yourself
like any other addiction when you are trying to beat it
take it one day at a time,and some days one moment at a time if needed
try this,everytime you crave it to the point you just gotta do it
take a hammer and smash your hand,youll be giving it up for good in no time at all

seriously,you can do it
i know it seems difficult at first but it does get easier after the first couple of weeks
good luck,im pulling for ya
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd

My 11yr old duaghter came up to me yesterday and said she was proud of me for doing so good at quitting. I about lost it. I was having a real bad evening and that helped out alot.

It has been a over a week now. I want tobacco worse now than when I first quit. It is gonna be hard to make it through the weekend. I would chew, smoke, eat, or drink tobacco right now.
Dang I need to sue the tobacco company for making it taste so good.

10 days was the mark for me, but it still gets tempting.  Exercise helps.  The endorphin release afterwards seems calming and replacing a bad habit with a good one is what is often recommended to increase chances of success.   Hope you pull through!
