Quitting for Good - Dipped 25 years

[dippshit]

Flush the pills, tell your doctor he can keep them.  YOU DON'T NEED THEM.  You're a bad-ass quitter, too.

That's pretty bad advice. He should talk to his doctor about properly stopping the chantix use if he wants to stop using it. I'm pretty sure you're supposed to wean yourself off of it like certain anti-depressants and not just stop cold turkey after being on it for a month.

Again, talk to your doctor if you want off the chantix.

I'm gonna stamp that with a big X2

Whether nicotine dependency was established and/or maintained by being chewed, smoked, drank, snuffed, sprayed, swallowed, sucked, licked or patched, in the end there is only one way out - no nicotine today.

Chanitx is not nicotine.

Thanks. Nevermind.

Up until very recently, I thought chantix was slang for all this anal snussing these kids are doing nowadays.

Just sayin.

Sorry dude, but pills and patches are for pussies. There are no shortcuts. Nobody can do this for you...not even a pill. The only way is to commit, post roll, and live free one day at a time. But here's the good news...if you commit to quitting, I mean really fucking commit to quitting, you can do it. Stop waiting on a pill to do it for you. What are you scared of? You're 3 days in. That is a HUGE start dude! Congrats!!!

Read all you can, embrace the suck and learn to enjoy this. Really feel it. You're in the ring, toe to toe with the Nic Bitch and you're winning. And guess what...that fucking pill isn't doing it for you.

Look around on this site...look at the rolls...look at the HoF speeches. What you're seeing is a ton of bad-ass, determined mother-fuckers....not a bunch of scared pill-poppers.

I'm three days in, my quit date is May 15, 2012. I've been on Chantix a little over a month and was supposed to quit one week in, but caved. I'm 41, have two daughters, one 11, the other 9. I've tried to quit a special occasions like births, birthdays, New Years, anniversaries, etc, etc, etc. The most I have made was 9 days back sometime in the 90s. I started dipping when I was 16 (I think), smoked for awhile as a teenager and in college on and off, but always came back to the snuff as it had more of what I wanted, Nicotine! I've tried the gum, therapy, hypnosis, etc, but always come back to the snuff. I'm a cyclist, hence my handle, and I am starting to feel the snuff is affecting my health. I donated blood last month and my BP was 135/90. I have high cholesterol and been on meds for that for several years as well. I have daily thoughts/anxiety about getting oral cancer, given the amount of time I've been on it.

The Chantix seems to be helping a lot. It almost makes me nauseous when I dip after a week of being on Chantix. Before my quit date, I was down to a dip or two per day. It was that late night watching TV or being on the computer dip, or early morning processing emails before going to work dip. Worried about car trips, fishing, lawn mowing, working in the garage, or late night at the office, in the near future. Right now I am just focused on getting past the nine days.

Thanks,
Robert

Robert I also used special events to try to quit always blew it. I was preparing to quit, used some chantix mixed some fake snuff with cope, did all those things. It wasn't until I flushed the shit and climbed on board and posted my promise for the day that i was truly successful. I quit for me! no one else. that daily promise means so much to me. I will not let myself or my quit brothers down once Ipost roll. You can do it too. Chantix is fine it does have some side effects for some people but it has no nicotine. some try fake dip its good for oral fixation others just plain cold turkey. All are acceptable as long as no nicotine enters your body through and orifice. PM me if you need anything!

Congrats on your decision. Three days is huge.

First. I have a few questions for ya.

Who are you quitting for?

How bad do you want this on a scale of 1-10?

Are you a man of your word?



Second, some thoughts on your new quit.

Worry about today. Yesterday is long gone, tomorrow never comes, all you can control is the here and now. Today.

We have a web of accountability that holds us up and together. The foundation of that web is accountability. We maintain that accountability by doing what we call posting roll.

Posting roll is a daily signature on a list next to your quit brothers and sisters.

That signature is your promise to them and yourself that you will not use nicotine in any form today.

Post up. Keep your word. Repeat. Easily one of the hardest things you will ever do.

Check out the WELCOME CENTER up and to the left.

Read up on why and how we post roll.

Make that promise. Keep your word. Repeat.

Commence the freedom.
