Hi all,
After dozens of failed attempts on my own to quit, I'm ready to be done. I've been dipping for 11 years. Over the last couple years, my lymph nodes in my jaw have gotten swollen whenever I get sick and stay that way for weeks. I feel like I am often short of breath (and I work out regularly)...and I often hack up phlegm in the morning.
I have twin 14 month old boys and want to see them grow up. I can't do this anymore. I just finished my last dip...and wasn't even planning on quitting tonight. I just don't want to die of cancer that I could have prevented ...I am sick of being a slave to nicotine. I need help and it looks like this is the place.
I'm ready to do whatever I need to do.
Thanks,
Notready
sounds like a pretty solid foundation. Now you need to get rid of ANY and ALL spare, hidden or emergency cans. Flush them.
Ill tell you whats worked for me, google a pic of mouth cancer from tobacco... print it an keep in your wallet. Mine is still there 871 days later. I have so many attempts its nuts over almost 30 years. This is the first time Ive QUIT, all the others I just STOPPED.
Dive into this site, read all you can, load up on water, seeds, fake dip, anything to keep that out of your mouth. This will be the hardest 3 or 4 days youve ever had, dont let the nic bitch trick you into caving.
Let people around you know you are quitting, so they understand your mood swings. if you can, dont jump on those closest to you when frustrated,...come HERE to vent. Thats what were here for brother!
Exchange digits with people in your group. BE A LEADER. If you post daily support in other groups, you'll be surprised of the support you'll get in return.
YOU CAN DO THIS, you need to be committed, you need to be ready to fight, and you need to be able to learn to channel your craves into something positive.
Ill quit with you all day today, ,make sure you dump all your cans, do it NOW
