Maine - I saw you lurking in the June '16 quit group. Get your ass on roll and be done with that shit for good. Forget the weaning off until you hit March 3rd...you're just fooling yourself if that's your approach. Quit now...right now. Going cold turkey is the best way to go.
Here's what I think...you're trying to hang on to that old friend who has been slowly killing you for 35 years, but you can't quite grasp life without it even though you are so desperate to be done with it. So, keep stuffing that poison in your mouth for a little bit longer...then you'll quit for sure, right? Doubt it. If the news from your appointment isn't that you'll be dead in a week, I'm guessing you'll use that to rationalize just "one more dip." You'll keep saying one more dip and then I'll quit...that will go on until finally you get your death sentence. That will be a fun conversation to have with your family.
Bottom line is this...you're killing yourself whether you want to admit that or not. You're strong enough to toss that can right now and be done for good. Don't delay...there is no time like right now. you are stronger than a little round can, right?
Don't think you'll have this easier than most...you won't...you're not an exception. Just make your promise first thing every day by posting roll and hold that promise for 24 hours...then repeat. Get some tools like seeds, gum, mints, etc. and drink water...it will save you when cravings hit. Connect with guys on this site...get phone #'s and ask questions, get advice. If you're truly committed, you will succeed.
...just go post up in the June 16 group now. I'm at 355 days, closing in on a year...damn, what a f*king great feeling that is!
