The fog can be a bitch. I lived on this site for a long time. I am not quite sure how I did not get fired. My productivity was shit too. It does get better !! Keep fighting.. we understand.

STAY QUIT

You have already gotten some solid advice but I will toss is some others. To repeat make sure you dump every can of shit you have and flush it. We have all made the trip to the trash can. You have posted your promise for today so no matter what you CANNOT ingest nicotine in ANY form.

1. Get some gum, candy, seeds, straws, toothpicks to keep yourself occupied.
2. Start drinking water. When you think you have had enough water, drink more.
3. Start reading everything you can on this site. Begin in the Welcome center, Move on to the words of wisdom, HOF speeches. Then pick a group ahead of you and read it from the beginning.
4. You are going to have some wierd days ahead. Knowing whats coming helps.

You have found the right place. Thousands of addicts are clean daily by the methods used here. Continue to post your promise, keep your word and you too can be QUIT !!

Welcome

Post roll call (Please visit the "salmon" WELCOME CENTER in the black banner at the top of the screen).

Stay quit (Do anything to keep nicotine out of your system.  Run. Jump.  Masterbate.  Whatever.)

Repeat.

It's as simple as that.

(Oh, and search hard for any remaining cans.  Toss them.)

You are quit for today.

You have just promised not to put any nicotine into your body until tomorrow. Good for you.

Fulfilling that promise is the hard part. Anybody can make promises, it's fulfilling them that is difficult. We mess around on this board a lot, and there is almost always craziness going on in the chat room. Grab a few numbers of your brothers, and don't be afraid to ask questions. Finally, read everything you can on this site. Behind all the wierd, crude behavior is a lot of knowledge about what you are about to go through.

Congrats man.

Wake up tomorrow, make the same promise, and fulfill it.

Yes. Understand it is not a habit. It is an addiction and you are an addict. Without that understanding, you will fail again. Addict....yes, we are. You are in good company.

The big quit
« on: January 12, 2012, 12:43:00 PM »
Hello all, My name is mike and I have taken the step today to quit the habit that has cost me so much money over the past 8 years and eaten away at my gums. My intention was to begin last night, however I had one dip left in my can and I couldnt help myself. So 14 hours in I was a failure, but now I have some more resolve because I am really embarrassed by failing. I am a winner, and winners win. Im going to whoop this stuff.

Does anyone have any tips?
