You have some heavy duty quitters in your corner already. I know this will work if you work it. Bring the quit one day at a time.

Hey ReconLdr welcome. I"m fairly new in this quit, but a long term chewer and in the 40+ crowd like you. You can do this with the support and method of this site. Reading all you can helps me- other people's intro threads, background materials, etc. When you post something, you get the insights and support you need as well. Welcome! Hang on and take it one day at a time- it's hell and it gets better!

One of the best things you can do for yourself is follow the guidance of the seasoned quitters that will be giving you- they know how to help.

Feel free to personal message me if you need a number for text support and accountabiliy.

ReconLdr,
Welcome brother. First you will notice that there are quite a few of us that are current or former military that are all fighting this addiction together. Welcome and feel free to let me know if there is any more I can do to further assist you sir.

Now read up the info on the site Welcome Center

Learn how to post roll How to Post Roll

Then post Roll here Pre-HOF February 2014 Quit Group

Post Roll daily. This is your promise to stay quit, understand that KTC is all about brotherhood and Accountability. Make sure that these words mean something to you. Also understand that all of us quitters care so when a cave happens people will take that shit personally. We invest time into people and the quit groups are like tight families of quit.

Finally, I recommend that you find an alternative, fake dip, candy, gum, mints, etc. Drink lots of water, so much that you cannot pass a bathroom without having to piss.

P.S. All of the above underlined words are links to the site.

You can do this,

I'm on Day 3 and it is way fucking harder than Day 1 and 2 combined...

I started chewing (leaf) when I was very young (around 10 or so) and switched to snuff when I was 14. I'm now 42 and had my last chew Tuesday 11/19/2013 right after lunch.

I had tried "cold turkey" in the past with very poor results. I started "weening" myself 6 months ago, down from a can a day to a can every other day. Tuesday morning I decided when the can in my pocket was empty, I was going to quit.... So here I am after 32 years, sitting at my desk wanting to cry like a little girl....

After 24 years in the military, I'm reduced to this!!!!! Fuck that.... I'm not going to let it beat me anymore.... I'm gonna make it through this....

Great declaration and welcome. Yes it is tough and each day brings a new challenge. You are going to maybe have one or two great days over the next 30.

So gear up and enjoy the suck! I like pain! You'll get to love it!

Yes you can win and cold turkey is the only way to get through the suck. Weening if prolonging the pain.

So read. This plan, if followed with exactness...no one has failed. The only failing is when someone doesn't do the plan or alters it.

The trail to freedom is blazed and all you need to do now is read, write and post here what you are feeling so we can support you but post roll, keep your word and repeat daily.
