Thank you for your service. Congratulations on your quit. I wish I would have quit at a younger age instead of waiting until I was 59.
Make sure you drink plenty of fruit juice during your quit. I prefer Orange Juice.
I read an article on this site that explained that when you use nicotine, your body releases sugars in the brain. This creates a feeling of pleasure when you dip. You lose this when you quit.
Drinking the fruit juice replaces those sugars and makes quitting a bit easier.
The other thing I recommend is to control what you focus on. If you keep thinking about what you are quitting, it will make the quit harder.
Distract your brain and focus on everything but the quit. Exercise when you get the jitters and the nagging muscle pain.
The quit will be hard but you are tough and you will fight through this.
I quit with you today.
