Hi!
I'm 35yrs from one of the Scandinavian countries.
I've been using ciggies and snus for the last 16-17 years. I recently quit for a year (both ciggies and snus) but foolishly fell back into the trap when I was traveling with some smoker friends. Stupid shit really, but it is what it is.
Now i've been mainly snusing regularly for the last year again, with ciggies on and off too.
All of the reasons I quit last time have slowly come back and now I'm back to feeling anxiety, bouts of insomnia and on top of that a dreadful black cloud over my head because I feel like a fucking failure for starting again.
The time has come again to put it all down once and for all. Ciggies I have cut out successfully and haven't smoked in the last 2 weeks, and don't feel like smoking again - EVER!
I have slowly been reducing snus too and I'm at 3 portions per day. I have set my quit date to next Saturday and this time it will stick.
Wish me luck people!
BTW; Awesome community you have here!
Welcome Super,
Quitting is a life long endeavor which is won with daily commitment. You haven't done that yet.
Luck is what happens when you analyze a situation, identify the variables, then take steps to lessen their impact. Luck is the by-product of planning, reducing likelihoods and implementing a strategy based on those observations. It's the result of honest reasoning, planning and implementation. Luck is what happens when you stack the deck in your favor, then play the odds.
What is your plan for quitting? What will you do when your mates are all lighting up? Have you really considered the reasons you've been weak in the past? What's different this time? Nicotine, in any form, is the enemy. The manufacturers of these products are well armed and deadly. Until now, you've lacked armor, weapons and you've lacked a battle plan. Your past failures are proof.
Think of KTC as fellow warriors dedicated to overcoming great odds, together, against this deadly, thieving addiction. Your battle plan should start in the

You ought to declare war today by making a promise to quit and not letting your battalion down. We build up that chain plate daily. There is no neutrality in this fight and there's nothing to be gained by prolonging your engagement of the enemy. By procrastinating, you only prolong the bloodshed, enabling a poisonous weed to dig in a little deeper, control the high ground or flank your efforts.
This community is awesome because of the thousands of slap down, bare knuckle, seething, spitting, bad ass nicotine warriors battling daily and not the timid, dip your toe in the water and hope for the best who might start fighting maybe sometime in the future... So, are you ready?
