Dantheman...... U are advising to leave alcohol alone????  'crackup'
Ray ya baastad.......

Believe it or not I laid off the Budweiser for the first 3, 4 weeks of my quit. I would have been fucked if I didn't. Now I happily drink without the dog shit. Re-programming that part has not been as challenging for me as a lot of the other routines,,,dipshits for example, driving, post sex, fishing, working, etc.....
During sex was the hard one for me to get rid of.
My wife never appreciated the drool I left on her chest afterward either. 'crackup'

All kidding asside, I could not handle giving up everything and my focus was tobacco. I did go crazy with alcohol and now have made it back to reality. I am very thankful to be surrounded by good friends who watched after me while I went crazy and then came back again. EVERYone is different and so you cannot predict what all people will do. Best thing is to be here for support and then when your able, lend the support.
I would lay off the alcohol for a while, I must agree.

I think we all replace the nic with something to a point. My replacements are:
A. CAFFEINE!
B. Exercise.
C. Popping an extra ritalin outside the recommended two a day when I get SERIOUSLY in the doldrums.
D. Sex. It happens very rarely since my fiancee's parents would murder the both of us, but... When it does, I could easily go a whole week not even thinking about dip. Last time... I walked into a gas station next day with a dip display the size of the asian continent... I just looked at it, saw the shit ton of Skoal, and went "Y'know, I just made love like a natural born Romeo. What does this shit mean to me anymore? It's just a flaky plant leaf with a demon in it that says "Take me... I won't hurt you... I'm your friend..." Well, fuck that. I don't need it."

I didn't even feel the craving. By seeing all those cans, I looked the demon in the eye, felt no crave, and just told the nic bitch to fuck off at the same time. In telling her to fuck off, I got in a preemptive strick for when I do crave again.
Just a word on caffeine - keep this in mind.

Welcome gsmash!

I strongly recommend that you post roll first thing every morning. Never miss a day and jump on the computer first thing. Posting roll is giving everyone your word that you will not use nicotine that day. Posting early takes that option off the table for the day. If you can't post roll, get some numbers from people and text your quit to them and they'll post for you. It may not make much sense to you right now but just trust us that posting roll is job number one for you right now.

I also recommend that you read everything you can on this site. Stick close to this place because these people will help save your life.

Congrats on a damn smart decision!
way to go gsmash, the life you save will be yours. Nmc is right post roll each morning. Then keep your word for that day. READ all you can, I strongly recommend you find the Contract to quit under cancer and quitter stories and print it out and carry it with you. If you have kids read the Jenny and Tom Kern Story.
The Hof speeches are good too. If you need a number Pm me but you better be serious about getting quit.
Gsmash, take the advice of these two badass quitters. They tell like it is. If you need a number mine is available for the asking.

I utilized hypnosis to help me quit. Long story short, it worked. I would like to connect with anyone else who has used this method. Please respond.

I also have questions regarding drinking. I've always been a social drinker, heavy on weekends. I do not want to increase my drinking to offset my lack of tobacco. I do not believe that I will, but would appreciate contact with anyone who has/had the same concern.

Thank you,

Welcome GSMASH

I tried hypnosis a few years ago and honestly I thought it was a huge pile of shit.....just my opinion, please don't take offense. I thought I wanted it to work so bad and after I left the session I bought a can within the hour.

Also, I think you need to tell yourself "NO Alcohol" for at least the first 30-50 days. This quittin' shit is no joke. Alcohol fucks up people's quits almost monthly on KTC. Quitting tobacco should be your number #1 priority if you want to continue living.....and if you have the slightest worries about alcohol,,,,,LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

"CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit. After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco."
