Quitting

[Rawls]

Great advice in here... Hope you come back to read it.

I hide it from everyone except my family. I find reasons to step out of the office to throw a dip in, I leave events early for a dip, I decline invitations to things because it would mean going without dip for a day. I'm tired of it. I want to be in control, and not that nasty can of chemicals.

Way to get in here Jerry. Find a way to get your name on roll while you're in the Bahamas. If you can, while you're sitting in the sunshine basking in the glow of your quit, get on here and read everything you can about why and how we do battle everyday against one of the most addictive substances known to man.

The reason I highlighted this portion of your initial post was because this is called SLAVERY. Straight up, no way around it, you were a slave to your nicotine addiction. You were missing out on life to bang a can that may just kill you someday. Time to flip the script. Post roll and let's get started.

Started smoking at age 20 when I was in Iraq. After I got home, I had a sore throat one day and so I bought a can of dip instead of a pack of cigarettes. Stopped smoking, started dipping. That was over 4 years ago. I've tried to quit multiple times, cold turkey, nicotine patches, fake dip, gum, you name it. Most I've ever made it was about a week and a half. With the exception of the irritability and the ridiculous craving for something in my lip, every time I quit for a few days I felt great. But the addiction always won in the end.

Without going into too much detail, I have a job in which a tobacco addiction would be greatly frowned upon. I hide it from everyone except my family. I find reasons to step out of the office to throw a dip in, I leave events early for a dip, I decline invitations to things because it would mean going without dip for a day. I'm tired of it. I want to be in control, and not that nasty can of chemicals.

Despite the cost of my addiction, my wife and I have saved up to go to the Bahamas for Christmas. This is the time to quit for several reasons. 1) I don't want tobacco to control our vacation. 2) There will plenty of things to distract my mind. 3) What better to combat the irritability than the Bahamas? And 4) I typically don't crave dip as much when I am not in my normal environment.

I spit out my last dip thirty minutes ago. I've tried before, but this is the last time I quit. I've never reached out to a community of support. I am confident that the decision to reach out will be the boost that I need to make it over the hump and never put that nasty crap back in my mouth again.

There is no better Christmas gift that you could give yourself or your family.

Here we quit one day at a time, and we do it by posting in our quit group as soon as our eyes open each day. That is our promise to ourselves and more importantly our group that, for that day, we will be nicotine free. No little nic tic tacos, no nic gum, no nothing for that day. Your quit group is a March 2016. Be sure to get your name on that list. This place works sir.

Many many many of us were ninjas. Some of us hid it from everyone - including our spouses. You are going to absolutely love the freedom that will be yours. Living a lie is very draining. Being free... Beyond description how good it feels. There are some bumpy days ahead, but remember... Here we deal with them one day at a time.

Quit with you sir!

The community of support helps in the difficult times ahead. For you there is a challenge around ten days. Post roll as above. Get some fellow quitters phone numbers. A quick text can save your quit, and you can save others.

Congratulations on making such an important decision that will free you for the rest of your life. There is no better time to quit then when on vacation and away from the usual stresses. The most important thing to do is to decide you have quit and you are not going back for anything. Once your mind is made then it is easier. When you start thinking about dip force your mind to think about something else. You must distract your mind so you are thinking about something else.

Congratulations on your quit. I quit with you today.

Congrats on the decision but, I'm gonna go a little beyond everyone else and call your vacation stop bullshit! I have heard weak reasons for quitting before. Hell I had them for 40 years. If your serious you will post roll everyday and reasons to quit will extend past a vacation or the stop will end with the end of the vacation.
Please prove me wrong!
