Intro long time coming

[Grizzlyhasclaws]

Hello -

Had my last dip yesterday afternoon at 3pm. Went through all of my hiding spots and made sure that everyone was gone and cleaned out. Walked everything out to the dumpsters and let some of the people close to me - know that I am doing this and need help.

So I'm counting today as my first clean day.

Last night was difficult - the dog woke me up at midnight and I couldn't fall asleep until 0430am. I'm pretty foggy and tired today - but still excited to do this and get through. I've been munching on food when cravings hit OR I am finding my self standing and pacing in the office.

I'm picking my little daughter up from school early and was thinking that we'd go to the Zoo - so I can avoid some triggers.

Just reading a little more - I've decided that I need to add some more info.

I've been chewing for 17 years. I've quit for times before, but always caved after about 6~7 weeks into it. I want to make it stick this time, I'm at the point that I'm really scared of the damage to my mouth that I want to be done with this crap forever. I think I'm really going to need a bunch of help at that time. The time when I need a daily promise and reminder to get through that day. (I have been to a dentist and everything was/is ok - but he did a good job of scaring the shit out of me - I'm ready)

Hey Ivory. Welcome to the best decision of your life. 36+ year dipper here.
There will be some difficult times but just break those down to small increment of time. You can do anything for 5 minutes, right? Before you know it the crave will pass. Drink a lot of water or fruit juice. Remember that the craving will pass whether you use nic or not. Use fake chew, seeds, candy, gum...whatever just not nic.
A point of order, before you didn't quit. You stopped.
You can do this and everyone here is glad to help.
You need to post roll. Go to the welcome center and read how to do it. It is what we do. When you post roll you are giving your word not to use nic today. Sleep, wake and repeat.
Immerse yourself in the site and learn all you can. That's your secret weapon.
Enjoy the zoo with your daughter. (I, too, have a daughter, 6 yr. old).
Use your fear, embrace the suck and learn to hate nic. She is trying to kill you and deprive you of the future you have with that daughter.
PM me if you need anything,
Doc-I'm quit right now!

Listen to these guys. Follow the KTC path. Make your quit your #1 priority. This is about you saving your own life. Don't forget that.

I quit with you today. Don't miss roll and get involved.

You can do this!
