Day 2.

[Lady G]

Drink lots of water.

Exercise through the craves.

Read intros, hall of fame speeches and words of wisdom for inspiration.

Heed the words of the veterans below.

You can do this.

Here's something  to remember.....not just for now during these initial days....but any day down the road during your quit....

One problem plus nicotine equals two problems.

It will solve NOTHING. So don't turn to it. Your addict brain will as sure as hell try to make you feel like you are "coping better" with a dip in ir convince you that "it's easier to deal with" when a fatty is in your lip......but that is the addiction.....

One problem plus nicotine equals two problems.

Welcome.

I see you figured out how to post roll, that's your first step toward freedom. Make your promise, and keep your promise daily.

Have you grabbed any digits (phone numbers) yet. You should have digits from several in your quit group, and a few vets too. Mine are just a PM away. Having digits provides another level of support. You'll have somebody (or somebodies) to text in case of an emergency.

Sounds as if your true test will come at about the two week mark. Make sure you've kept up with your daily promise, made early in the day. Once you've made your promise, nicotine is off the table for the rest of the day, as long as you're a man of your word.

Proud to quit with you today.

Hi, All,

This is my introduction. I've been dipping for over a decade, on and off. I've had several lengthy breaks over the years and even when I've been dipping I tend not to dip daily (mostly because there's no way for me to hide a daily dip from my wife). Then, about a year and a half-ago a medical issue hit my family and rocked my world. I've been dipping incessantly since.

Particularly troubling to me is the fact that even over the last 18 months, I can go 1 to 2 weeks without dipping from time to time, but I always come back with a vengeance. Seems like a lot of folks talk about the physical toll of quitting this addiction, and yet I can't find freedom cause I'm mentally weak. I can pretty frequently beat the cravings for a weak or two, but I can't cut through the self-deception that tells me one more dip won't hurt anything.

I primarily want to quit because I'm sick of how dominant a theme the addiction has become in my life. I'm tired of thinking about where to find a can, when my next opportunity to dip will be, wanting events to hurry up and end so I can sneak a lip, etc. This thing that adds no value is dominant force in my life and and it's slowly diminishing all my other experiences.

Welcome! You’ve come to the right place. Glad to see you on roll.

All that stuff about being able to go without for a week or two and come back etc? That’s a bunch of crap that your addict mind is using against you to downplay just how addicted you are. None of that is important.  What’s important is that your quit for today.. because I see your name on roll. Don’t worry about the past, or the future.. just worry about getting through today.

Wake up.

Piss.

Post roll.

Keep your promise.

Repeat.
