Hi folks, I was told to stop nicotine at least 2 weeks before surgery scheduled for May 12. Don't know how but I did it. Mint snuff helps A LOT. I've chewed constantly for about the past 10 years. Sure don't want to go back that way after surgery. Glad to be here and could sure use some help!
Hi and welcome....you made the right choice to quit and an even better choice to quit here....for starters, this is a cold turkey site....quit and quit now....dump every can you have and find and dump all the cans you've hidden or have stashed....You need to get into a quit group and start posting roll...today is the last day for entry into the July Group...tomorrow will start the August quit group...
here is the link for the Welcome Center
forum/55560/ in there you will find a section on how to Post Roll
Posting Roll is the most important thing we do here. First thing in the morning promise yourself and everyone here that you will not use nicotine in any form for that day. Wake up the next day and repeat. Quit one day at a time, ODAAT......
Other than that read everything you can here. When you're comfortable, interact with your group, get to know people.
First three days to a week is the worst. Drink lots of water. ODAAT, or for now one hour or one minute at a time. Just stay quit.
Hang on / Buckle up....the next couple days are going to be alittle rough....stay busy...anything to keep your mind off dipping
PM me is you need anything
