Title: Nicotine Free!
Post by: SwampKrunk on March 17, 2015, 09:31:00 AM
Today is my second nicotine free day in many years. I started dabbling with smoking and chewing when I was 12...by 14 I was doing both daily. I'm 48 now. Quit smoking about 20 years ago but just dipped more to make up for the missing nicotine. I tried quitting twice over the last decade or so. I guess I was just to weak...cold turkey was vicious. I put the can down in late March of 2014 and picked up the Vape habit. Started at 24 milligrams. Over the past year I gradually cut the nic bitch from 24 down to 1. Last Saturday I was out at my hunting property working on some of my guns and bows, getting ready for turkey season. I was there soon after daylight, and at lunch went to my truck to go home for some lunch. I noticed my vape device sitting there in the console...hadn't touched it all morning and didn't even realize it. I knew then it was time. So here I am on my second nic free day, and it feels great not being a slave to her anymore!

I found this site while looking for reviews on tobacco free dip. I got a few flavors of Smokey mountain and its great when I get a bit of a craving.

Just thought I would share my story.

Way to go, SK. There is a lot of support here, if you'll accept it. Hit the welcome center in addition to posting roll like Rawls noted. I can't understate how important it has been for me.

Your stray sounds just like mine right up until you started with the vapes. I Am the same age as you and started at the same age as you. Hit me up if I can help you or if you want to trade numbers for support.

You can teach old dogs new tricks. I'm 50 and had used for 23 years or so with about 5-7 years stoppage in there. I'm now 384 days quit and I owe it all to what I have learned here.

It's simple:
Post roll daily
Honor your word

Like I said...I found this site while looking for fake snuff reviews. Didn't know anything about the quit groups or posting roll. I just thought I would share my story and it could help someone. I am done with the nic bitch forever, and it was absolutely painless cause I weaned off over a years time. I haven't even had a fake dip yet this morning and its almost lunch. I appreciate everyone's concern and support, but I'm not craving and I'm done with it.

Good on ya, man.

So, let me ask... Are you willing to do everything it takes to remain quit? You really want to help others?

Get involved here... Those 2 things are what we do best.

We love these stories but they really have zero value unless you're a contributing member of this community. Build a web of accountability and philanthropy... Stick around.
