I ve been wanting to quit for myself for a while now but never got past couple hrs.. I d always find a tin laying round somewhere.. within the last 3 weeks my daughter (1) has been mimicking me with the spitting.. so I ve been thinking about everything, being around for her, setting a good example, not get cancer... so I gotta do this now, or years r just gonna keep goin by
You are CORRECT! Just do it NOW! I started dipping around 1990. Vividly remember an effort to quit around 1995 - said fuck it and just went back to it. Fast forward to around 2000, another serious plan to quit...nah, lasted only a day or two. In the past decade I've thrown out hundreds of cans with intentions to quit only to stop at a store and buy another and as soon as that first dip went in I was like "FUCK I'm a weak bastard!" Found this site a week ago and damn, this time I just KNOW I'm going to break this 20 year curse. I'm the biggest weakest pussy out there so if I can do it, you can do it. I'm no expert in the quit department BUT I am on my 9th day today and proud as shit about it - get over to our November group and start posting roll and in a blink you will have a few days behind you and be glad you started this. Understand this and understand it clearly, after the first 3-4 days it is virtually and purely PSYCHOLOGICAL. You have a God-given brain and can simply make the choice to tell that beast in your head to shut the fuck up and go stick something else in your mouth like some sunflower seeds, gum, or whatever to satisfy the oral fixation. Godspeed!
