Welcome.
Nice job posting roll, keep it up early every day. That's your promise to your group, and the entire community to stay nic free for the day. Make the same promise tomorrow.
Although your method with Chantix and the patch is not the preferred method here, good on you for giving it up entirely. As long as the end result is you staying nic free, we're all good.
I'm sending you my digits in a private message, look for it on the upper right corner of your screen. Exchanging digits is an important part of a quit that holds you to a higher level of accountability. It also gives you a person to reach out to in an emergency.
Proud to quit with you.
Hey CampofEchten,
Welcome to the group.
The main way to be successful is to just decide that you have quit. Once you stop the negotiating in your head as to whether you will do one more or not the rest becomes far more simple.
Next, you will learn to distract your attention from your desire for a dip to anything else that interests you. This ability to change your focus will guarantee your success and make your quit that much easier.
When you place a dip in your mouth, your brain releases sugars. Well, those sugars are now going to be gone.
However, you can replace them with OJ or other fruit juices with sugar. This will provide some comfort, especially in your initial quit days.
Make sure to exercise with weights and cardio when you feel that nagging tension in your muscles, you feel that rage, when you can not sleep and when you can not focus. Exercise really helps.
Here is one that most people overlook. Get at least 3 square meals a day. Hunger can really bring on those urges so squash those urges before they come. Eat full healthy meals and do not let yourself get excessively hungry. You will see this helps a great deal.
I waited until I was 59 quit after using tobacco for 40 years. You are wise to quit now.
I quit with you today.
PM me and I will be glad to share my digits.
