Title: day one tomorrow; advice please
Post by: Zach56 on October 03, 2011, 11:59:00 AM
Hi my name is Zach, I've tried quitting before and it really didn't last. I found this site about a month ago and I found the courage to join today and start tomorrow. Jus reading through this site gave me inspration to finally do it, but what I do need is some advice on what to expect and what I should do jus to get the urge to stop because I get to certain points in my day at work where I put a dip in and go but it sure make this so much easier to know I'm not alone

Congrats Zach on the best decision you ever made. Best advice...take every can you have and go dump them in the toilet right now. Why wait....It is going to suck no matter what. Just plan on getting through the first three days of getting nicotine out of your system. Your only job these next few days are not using nicotine in any way. Doesn't matter if you have to call in sick to work to accomplish that. Your life is worth more than three days of work. Read everything on this site and then read it again. It will tell you how to save your life. I had to run miles and go to the gym for at least an hour to wear me out so bad that I didn't think about it as much. I also got a bunch of sunflower seeds and gum. This site will work for you if you are a man of honor. Promise not to use nicotine just for today....and then keep your word. Look forward to quitting with u Zach! Dave Davidc67 -day 215-

Thanks for the support, and I did take your advice and threw all my cans in the trash and it was kind of a feeling of confidence cause I've never done this its been difficult because I'm used to that can in my back pocket and it was jus easy to give up and take that dip. Now with the work issue this time of year we have harvest which mean takin time off is non existant but I'm going to grab and bag of seeds and stay busy to keep my mind off it now having you write me back gave me a lot of hope in this and I appriciate it, and I promise today is the day I'm done, now one more question how do you set your date that you quit on this website?

Greatest decision you can make.....Try to understand this....There is a difference between wanting and needing..Your body does not need something that is proven to cause cancer and a bunch of other nasty shit...The nic bitch is telling you that you want it that you cant live without her....tell her to fuck off one day at a time....
You can do this...Choose to be successful one day at a time...

Proud to be quit with you

Post roll. It seems like such a small thing, but it makes you accountable. I'm glad to be quit with you today. i threw mine out Sunday, so I maynot be the best source for the symptoms, but if you need to bitch, feel free. As

Way to throw out all of your cancer. The seeds, gum, or other alternative won't keep your mind off it. They will however help get through those cravings.

I just want you to be prepared for the first 3 days where all you will do is think about it. Be prepared to mentally freak out when you hand reaches in your pocket out of habit but that can is not there.

I don't want to scare you at all but don't try to hide from how bad this sucks. That suck is what will keep you quit later. Remembering how bad it was is motivation for all of us to never go back.

Glad to see you posted roll. As you know you've committed to all of us that you will not dip today. Keep your word brother, its all you got here. Tomorrow post roll again first thing and keep your word again. These first few days suck big time but it does get better. Distract yourself with seeds, gum, running, lifting, sex, whatever just don't stick that crap in your mouth again - it is no longer an option!

Hey everyone my name is zach and I was on here before and I was chew free for around twenty days until I had a craving that I couldn't refuse and I regret it everyday so now I'm on here again to give it a shot and use this site for more help unlike I did last time so I was wondering if anyone had any tips for me as I start this long road?

Zach, you are going to have to be serious about your quit, you are going to have to really want it. Get ready to take a beating from some of the members for having quit your quit once already.

This place is all about being accountable to yourself and to all of your quit brothers. If you are quit now and are completely off nicotine, meaning no replacement therapy like nicorette gum or patches then post roll and promise to remain quit.

I am guessing if you were here before you know about posting roll call and you know how the site runs. I would suggest you take some time to read and see the growing pains that each quit group goes through.

Welcome.

Only one way to be "forgiven" and that's stay true to your word and remain quit. Sounds like you weren't to involves with the site last time so my advice would be to get close, reach out to your quit brothers get numbers and next time you crave call one...what I don't understand is what could've been so bad to put that bullet back? Just stupid, don't let it happen again, realize there are people here (in the chat) that are willing to help too. Nothin..NOTHIN could've have been that bad (ask 30), caving is not an option

"A craving I couldn't refuse?" This is bullshit. Every quitter on this site has cravings, most have them daily. You had better get your head on straight and get more serious than this before you post any roll again.

Everyone on this site wants you to be successful, Zach. But it all starts with you. People on this site are in a battle for their life, literally. I know that losing to the nic bitch means that I'm back on the fast track to cancer. I know that every single day, I have to win the battle. The war, well that goes on forever. But I know that today, I can and will win the battle for February 20, 2012.

Until you realize that you are fighting for your life, you're going to end up back for a round 3, round, 4, round 5.... Act like you are fighting for your life ... because you are.
