Chew is an enemy that has hijacked your fucking mind, i should know, its had mine for a long time. Im new to this quitting game, but i will tell you this.....If you put tobacco on a pedestal and pretend it is doing anything positive for you it will be nearly impossible to quit. Once you accept that tobacco does absolutely nothing good for you it makes it much easier to walk away. I just finished my first week cold turkey, when a craving hits I take deep breaths and remind myself that chew gives me nothing and robs me of health and wealth. Talk to the vets on this site, guys who have been quit for a year or so. The insight they have to give is solid gold.
Well stated Cannaday. The insight you just provided is solid gold. 1 year or month quit you can take that to the bank Screw. Sounds like you got that "best friend" bullshit out of your head in a big hurry. That is just a bullshit addict lie that UST wants us to believe.
hey Screw, Welcome to the hardest thing you've ever done in your life. Being Quit.
You have not quit before. You were on a break.
We do this daily by quitting every a.m. and posting roll giving our word to ourself and our brothers that we will NOT put the poison in our mouths TODAY. You can do anything for a day, right?
We are a "no nic" group of addicts. We don't use pussy patches, goofy nic gum, smelly cigars or any other form of nictotine. We don't trade the big nic bitch for a little one! We don't try, we do!
It is a simple process:
1. post roll early in the a.m. promising not to use TODAY. (the earlier the better for your quit)
2. Honor/Keep your word to yourself and your brothers here on KTC
3. Get to bed, wake and REPEAT
Thousands have done this before us. YOU can TOO. One day at a time. We are nicotine addicts for life. But we are freedom loving addicts one today at a time.
Like the brothers said already...read, read, chat, read, share, give (when you can), take what you need and leave the rest behind and your days will stack up quicker than you'll realize. It does get MUCH better. LIFE gets more real and clearer. It is the most wonderful thing to be QUIT of Nictotine. The sun is brighter, food taste better, the air is cleaner. No more hiding, just pure living! Cheers brother! You got this...One day at a time 'zombie'
