Up In Smoke

Day 24 - NODE

NODE - 23 Days....

NODE - 22 Days Free...

Too far West in SC for this to effect me but we might get a little rain out of it.

Hit the three week mark Sunday! Hooray for me I think...Gone from rail spikes to ten penny nails.....

NODE

This has been the worst week for me and I am in my third week..First week was not all that bad neither was the second. But this week is the closest I have come to caving in since I started this.

Who you gonna call Butt Busters....LoL

NODE!

CanKickers! For those trying to ditch the Dip!

NODE - Not One Dip Ever!

Day 15..

Death Wish Coffee knocks off the edge.

Thanks all..But still worried.

It will pass Steven, the first month is the hardest of them all but it really does go by fast. Anxiety is normal and many of us have dealt with that. If the anxiety gets to be too much you can always give your Dr a call and tell him you've quit. A lot of times they can prescribe a temporary med to ease the anxiety. Or you can do like I did and have a beer or eat an edible lol.

All of us here are proof of just how doable quitting is so no need to be nervous, we got your back  

Yeah my doctor prescribed something for me for the anxiety when I told him I was quitting.

I quit a week ago and relapsed after 5 days. Very disappointed in my self. I did start using the patches today. Going to try again

Don't let it bother you.....I am on day 6, a week tomorrow never made it this far....Just reaffirm and start over.

Congratulations on 3 days quit. You need to quit for yourself first and foremost. Everything else is all bonus.

4 frigging days now and those railroad spikes are looking delicious...

Well the Devil better not get in my way or I will punch his ass OUT!  Wife is already wishing I would go get a can...LoL...

There is no freedom......I want to run out to the store now and buy a can but I know I cannot or should not......

Well I had a visit to an ENT doctor this morning and he gave me the long face....Surprise, surprise...Told me I needed to quit dipping now! Well, I told him I had been quit for a measly 3 days...Scared me enough to know I am done with it that's for sure....He did say he saw no signs of throat or mouth cancer though that was good...But told me if I did not stop I was going to be in trouble down the road.....Life just keeps getting shitty and shittier everyday.

On s side note quitting was for my wife who is disabled and unable to do somethings herself....It's her I am concerned about not me.

Welcome UpInSmoke,  how are you doing this morning? 

Fine thank you....Just need a few railroad spikes to chew on you got any?

I will use whatever I can if it keeps the dip out of my mouth....And who the hell is this Spitzer fellow? Some Anti-Smoking god?

You don't need to use nrt cheque. You could just use normal stuff...um maybe that cinnamon stuff cos it has a bit of a bite to it. The action of chewing is still met without the nasty poisons and drugs.

Your talking about this:

Been considering the Cinnamon....Might not be a bad idea....

NRT is Nicotine Replacement Therapy.

 

why wait and experience the added stress of anticipation ?

 

if you sincerely want to quit, QUIT NOW and be done with it.

 

Educate yourself about your nicotine addiction.

Remove all paraphernalia from your environment.

 

Reward yourself for every crave conquered every trigger faced down.
