Hey guys i have been viewing this site on and off for the last 6 months, getting excited about the idea of quitting but always had an excuse not too. I was thinking today while at work that i really dont have any valid excuses. My mind keeps tricking me into thinking i need dip and its "My thing" (none of my friends do it, no one i work with either, for some reason i think its cool)..... so while i was driving home i decided im done. Threw my almost full tin of snus out the window, got home threw out a whole bunch of unopened cans (I would go to the states and buy cheap dip every now and then, as its nearly 30 dollars for a tin of cope up here in canada).
So anyways i guess tomorrow will be my first day off the stuff. I have been dipping for about 4 years now and since then I have not gone a day with out it. I Have gone a few hours and get that panicky crave feeling so im imagining that tomorrow is going to suck. But i think its going to be mind over matter.....
I was dipping a can a day up untill about 5 months ago when i realized i was spending $400+ a month on the stuff. So I thought i would switch to Snus. Well that did bring my costs down by about half, as a can of snus lasts me about 4 days. I feel like snus has made my addiction much worse due to the higher nicotine content as well as the fact I pretty much have a pouch of it in my lip for 8-10 hours a day. I can easily hide it at work and i dont have to spit..... then of course i come home from work make dinner, then pack a big old lip for the rest of the evening....
anyways i have quite the mixed bag of feelings now, im excited to quit, nervous that i cant live with out my tabaccy, and wondering how strong my will power is...
has anyone else on here kicked a snus and dip habit?
Welcome, Guy.
The day you throw out your stash and have your last dip is day one. Congrats on making that today.
You don't need to wonder about your will power. If I can do this, you can. Just focus and break it up into small increments of time. Focus on the craves and beat them one by one. You gain power with each one you crush.
Read all you can here as education is your secret weapon.
Now you need to post roll in the March 2014 pre-HOF group. Go to the Welcome center and read about how to post roll then find March 2014 and post roll. That is our daily promise to keep that shit out of our mouth for the day. Wake up tomorrow and repeat and you will be quit.
This gets easier in time so just immerse yourself in your quit.
