Title: A Woman Dipper
Post by: AnneBonny on April 06, 2015, 03:18:00 AM
Well I am finally ready to put the plug in the jug when it comes to my 10 year nasty affair with chew. Sick of feeling sneaky and defensive and don't even get me started about going to the dentist...major downer. Always been a tomboy and one of "the guys" but it is time to grow up and stop pretending that I was going to quit next week etc etc. So I really could use some support, I have almost 7 years sober off alcohol so it's time to be spiritually and physically free from chew, and all nicotine products. I'm scared and realize I can't do this alone. I don't want to let my mind high jack my body.

Thank you
Danielle

Welcome Danielle, the hardest part is already behind you. Show up each day and you'll have all the support you could possibly need. We've all been there.

Freedom is yours for the taking but keep the cutlass close.

Welcome aboard. You can do it. You have to push through the first few days. I'm on day 7 now and it feels immensely more maneable already.

Grab some seeds, gum, candy, fake, and drink a ton of water. The water helped me immensely. Read everything on this site. All of our stories are similar, someone here has been through almost exactly what you're going through. When in doubt ask questions, someone will offer support or advice. Congrats!

Right here with you Danielle. Day 1 for me too.
Cope dipper for 13 yrs.
I can already tell this is going to be tough as hell, but you're not alone. I'm nicotine free today as long as you are.

Post roll, read and repeat. That's all there is to it. But don't forget to take note of what you're doing here. This isn't a place to dread or fear. This is a place to kick Nic's ass. Embrace the suck. It is the feeling of healing!!! If it were easy, everyone would do it. But it isn't...and that is what makes you a bad-ass.

Never miss a chance to celebrate your new freedom. YOU GOT THIS!!! Get pumped about it. I am.

Great to have you here Danielle! This is the toughest part - getting started on your quit and getting going on the beginning of your new life. It will be a new life, trust me. YOu want have to worry about spitting and hiding your dip from people. You will talk more. You wont have that nic bitch holdng you back from doing things.

Did you get in a quit group and post roll yet?
Be strong and be glad you are now on the right track!

Keep reading stories on here - they helped me a lot get through the first few weeks.

Is this girl gone already? Thought she might be a badass since she adopted a pirate as her screen name. Come on back in and post a day 2 Anne Bonny or walk the plank.
