I absolutely loved high school. I loved going to class, especially agriculture because I could get outside instead of in that cold class room. I was 15 my freshman year when I tried dip. I have been addicted ever since...which makes it almost 10 years since I just turned 25. Quitting this shit is the hardest thing ive ever had to face! I come up with every excuse to cheat its so pathetic. It's so simple And yet so hard. I have a routine that I'm having to change and it hurts and is uncomfortable to change it. I get a dip in the morning..keep it in for a few hours, eat lunch, get a dip right after, get a couple after that, eat dinner and get at least 2 after that before I go to bed...that adds up to about 60 bucks a week!!! It's time to suck it up or shut up!
You can do this.
First of all, take a deep breath and declare that you are quit. Say it out loud. Tell your woman. Stand in a mirror and tell yourself. Be proud.
Now, if you want some help in keeping that promise, wander on over to
your new quit group. There, you will be quitting side by side with other quitters going through the exact same thing you are. They all have quit recently like you, but there are tons of veteran quitters just jumping to help you out as well. Post your promise there (i.e. roll call), and buckle up: It is both your battle cry and your cry for help.
You see, quitting is possible with the help of some good friends. We're not the kind of friends that will tell you that you acted "normal" when you were using and that "you should go back to it". Nah. Hard truths. You don't need nicotine. No excuses.
Take a look around. You should read as much as you can. Drink tons of water, and exercise. Try to limit your caffeine tomorrow. If you run into a crave, we're here to help. Post about it, pop into chat, or call a brother.
You can do this because I am doing it.
