GoJo914,

Good decision to quit., 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.

I think you'll be in April 2018since Day 1 is today, right? If so make your way there and post up. We count the day you have your last Dip as Day 1 so if that was yesterday, you are on Day 2 the way we count here.

Congrats on the best decision of your life. We are here to help. Reach out if you need anything.

GoJo - welcome! I was in your shoes this time last year. 33+ years of Copenhagen. I'm coming up on a year free from the can now... so I know that you can do this.

Your next step is to post roll in the April quit group. There are instructions on how to post roll at the top of every page, and there's also a video that you might find useful: Posting Roll on KTC Kill the Can

We post roll every day here, first thing. It's our promise to not use nicotine for the day. Wake up, make that promise, then keep it for the next 24 hours. Then do it again the next day, one day at a time, and you'll be amazed at how quickly those days will pile up. It really is life-changing.

I'll be looking for you to post roll in January. Proud to quit with you today!

So, after 30+ years of Copenhagen, its time to stop. I was just a kid when I started this habit/addiction and although I have quit many times over the years, I never planned on quitting for good. I enjoyed it and it was just part of who I was.

Now, IÂ’m ready to quit for good, the price, the family/friends and the health issues all play a part in my decision to quit. DonÂ’t get me wrong, IÂ’m quitting for me, but there are many reasons that aid my main reason.

I have been planning my quit for two months, January 01, 2018, my day one quit. Glad I found this sight and look forward to watching my quit days grow.
