I am new here and joined a little over a week ago. I have been addicted to nicotine for over 25 years. I smoked for 12 years and then started dipping. That was in 96. I quit dipping for a couple of years only to get addicted to the nic gum. Well then I went back to dipping. I am tired of being a slave to nicotine and I am going to quit cold turkey. I went and threw out all of my kodiak tonight and tomorrow I will post day one with July. I only want to go through this once and the accountability to the group will help me a lot. I am scared shitless though because I have always had my dip.

I understand.

You can do this.
Only two things in this world to be scared of. Women and the Police.

You can and will do this.
Your dip is not your friend.
If you caught a " friend" slipping you a lethal mix of poisons, and telling you it was medicine you'd probably try to kill him

Your dip has NEVER been there for you
You feel like it helps because it is taking away the withdrawls. When your stressed, your nic level plummets. You need a chew to get " fixed" So the pattern goes I'm angry, sad, stressed, etc- brain releases adrenaline and cortizone- Blood stream nicotine level crashes- now your fucked up and want a chew. You have chew- you feel better. Problem that originally made you all wound up still there. You have just successfully avoided dealing with your problem and fed the craving little nic monkey on your back. That garbage does nothing but make it impossible to handle shit without it shoved in your pie hole.

I used to be in sales and when I was working a smoker in a high pressure sales tactic I would prolong the presentation for as long as I could. I would have that little fucker dying to go outside and smoke. I could usually get a contract penned just so they could get me to go away. That shits a handicap at best, but there for you ....no.

I get it, I didnt make a major adult decision in my entire life without a wedge in my lip. I thought like you , that it was a support. I learned that it was just a chain that was holding me back , you will too. Be happy bmartin, your on the road to something new and I gotta tell you, it's worth it. Not fun but it'll be the best thing you ever did.

23yrs- 2 cans a day to 435 days quit , if I can do it anybody can.

"CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit. After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco."

IF you are a man of your word and you really want to quit then this is the place for you. Make sure you read what it is we do here and what is expected of you. Dump your cans, toss out the gum, patches or any other NIC delivery system you have and post your promise you will not use. Keep your word and you will be quit.

It is going to be tough, it can be scary but it most certainly can be done. I was a 20+ year dipper as were many others on this site. Get your mind right and you can do this. Drink plenty of water and juice to help detox. The next 3 days are going to SUCK... remember what they feel like.

Read everything you can. It helps distract your mind and it also helps you know what is coming. I will be looking for you to post your word tomorrow. Lets get this shit done !!!!
nothin to be scared of, that shit is holding you back more than it helps you
