Hello,
I have been chewing for roughly 6 years, I have tried to quit many of times to only be pulled back in by the grizzly. I have decided that today is the day to finally put an end to the disgusting habit. It has been something I have wanted to do for awhile but enough is enough. I'm leaving the US Air Force in January and I need to kick the habit by then! I'm hoping KTC can be the edge to finally help kick the habit!!
Welcome to KTC. I have to point out one major item in your words though. You reference this as a habit; it is an addiction. Way to decide to nut up and quit. You will quickly notice several current and ex-military members are here, we are all addicts too.
Now get your ass in here and start doing this right (all of the below words that are bold and underlined are links to this website).
Step 1 - Post Roll and here is
How to Post Roll, here is
why we post roll; then post roll daily as early as possible. This is your promise to you and all of us that you are quit today (only today though).
Step 2 - Read all that you can read (sorry no books on tape), here are some of my personal favorites:
Kern's Story,
Randy's story,
Sean Marsee's storyStep 3 - get to know your fellow quitters, exchange numbers and help them while they help you; this path is long and windy don't do it alone
Step 4 - drink lots of water, it helps flush the system and keeps your mind off the shit (warning you will piss a lot if you di this right)
Step 5 - find an alternative (fake dip, candy, toothpicks, testicles slammed in a desk drawer); anything that works and does not include tobacco or nicotine is good by us
Step 6 - do more than the minimum around here, the minimum is posting roll. Tell jokes, share stories, go to chat, etc.
Step 7 - prepare for the worst, you will have rage, you will be foggy, you will hate everyone...focus your anger on where it should be; you are an addict because of your choices, be mad at you and build the new you at the same time
Step 8 - make no excuses but buckle down and own your quit and admit your mistakes
I will never wish you luck because luck is for pussies, but I offer you my hand to help you along this journey.
