Hey everybody I just quit today. i quit had a stoppage before last april and did okay shitty for about 3 months then i had a late crave and caved in. I'm only 19 years I've been dipping for 3 years now which is i'm pretty sure a relatively short time compared to other people on this site. For me it's not the physical withdrawal that is making this so difficult i can totally that i'm a pretty tough guy. it's that I absolutely love doing it. I absolutely hate dip with every fiber in my body. I know that's how I MUST think before I can even attempt to fight MY ADDICTION.It is seriously my favorite thing ever.Dipping is thee dumbest and most idiotic thing I have ever done in my short life but i have goals though. i wanna get braces and I wanna have perfectly white teeth to be more attactive I feel like i've reached a point in my life where I want to find a relationship and i'm not gunna impress most girls with a dip in my mouth all the time. sometimes you just HAVE to make sacrifices and that's what i'm trying to do i just really hope i can find support on this site.
I took the time and helped you out with your initial post. There was a few mistakes but it's all better now. We have a saying here. It is "reach down, grab your balls and QUIT!" Can you do that? We actually have a bunch of sayings. Another is "man up" If you can do both those things, you can quit, the "nic bitch" won't control you anymore. You have to get into your head that you are an addict and comprehend what that truly means.
I really appreciate that you're not sugarcoding anything and telling me how it is i think that is exactly what I need to get through this I just need 3 days, 3 days and it's completely out my system.
The best advice that I can give you is this. Read, read every single thing that you can here at KTC. There is so much information for a new quitter to read here. Read until it hurts. Put your heart and soul into this. Start here then here then go here If you're serious about changing your life and stomping this addiction into the ground, there is so much that you need to learn and these places that I have linked for you, will help you tremendously.
Grady gave you some great advice, take it, and just because I can...here's some more.
You're quit starts with a handicap. There are plenty of young quitters that come in here and post about how they want to quit, but it's been proven that it's difficult for young quitters to drink the Kool Aid and follow the KTC way. All that means is you're mindset has to be right going into this and you have to use every tool available to you. Honor your word and post roll every day. I speak from personal experience when I say this, don't ignore it.
You don't have to worry about making it through 3 days, just make it through today, make it through this hour, this minute, this second. Don't think ahead and you'll be fine.
Get angry, tobacco/nicotine took a lot from you. It took time, money, health, friends, relationships, family, etc away from you. You can't quit and still think you "love doing it". I fucking hate dip, I hate cigs, I hate cigars, I fucking hate the asshole at the 7-11 who sold me that shit for years.
After you post roll, read this
