Well I just decided to quit dipping and not go back. I've tried before and always went back somehow. Hoping this site will help me keep the dip away forever. Any tips on quitting from anyone would be great!
Welcome! You made a great decision to quit.
The first thing to do is to find your "Quit Group" and start posting roll. If today is your first day quit, you're on Day 1 and your group is
topic/11649440/19/#new. It's ok if you dipped earlier today, as long as you're done with it, today is day 1. Posting roll is explained on the page, but it can be confusing until you get used to it. Just keep at it and you'll figure it out.
Posting Roll means that you're making a promise for 24 hours not to use any form of nicotine. Make your promise every morning, one day at a time.
This site works based on two key principles, accountability and brotherhood. If you want this to be successful, you need to make your promise every day, but you should also connect with the people in your group and others. Hold them accountable to their promise and they will do the same. Everyone in your group will be going through the same things together and the bonds will help you get through tough times.
Read as much as you can on this site, post your experiences and make connections. Success is 100% mental, this site will help with that.
In terms of general quitting tips:
1. Drink lots of water
2. Drink less caffeine
3. Avoid alcohol early on
4. Learn to "Surf" a crave (look it up)
5. Make a plan to deal with triggering events
6. Take it one day at a time, don't think in terms of "forever"
