You can do this if you do it for yourself. One day at a time. Check out links in my signature, it's what helped me.

Welcome to the group Activ8dtoxin!

The main way to be successful is to just decide that you have quit. Once you stop the negotiating in your head as to whether you will do one more or not the rest becomes far more simple.

Next, you will learn to distract your attention from your desire for a dip to anything else that interests you. This ability to change your focus will guarantee your success and make your quit that much easier.

When you place a dip in your mouth, your brain releases sugars. Well, those sugars are now going to be gone.

However, you can replace them with OJ or other fruit juices with sugar. This will provide some comfort, especially in your initial quit days.

Make sure to exercise with weights and cardio when you feel that nagging tension in your muscles, you feel that rage, when you can not sleep and when you can not focus. Exercise really helps.

Here is one that most people overlook. Get at least 3 square meals a day. Hunger can really bring on those urges so squash those urges before they come. Eat full healthy meals and do not let yourself get excessively hungry. You will see this helps a great deal.

I waited until I was 59 quit after using tobacco for 40 years. You are wise to quit now.

I quit with you today.

My HOF Speech
How long have I been quit?


I brew the beer I drink, what's your superpower?


[spoiler=These are a few of my favorite KTC quotes:]

"I need to move forward. This is different from move on. Do not confuse someones willingness to move forward with their willingness to move on. I am not moving on or giving up, I just have to move forward." Candoit

"I will light my money on fire before I give one more cent to those death dealers." Greg5280

"Half assed posters are doomed to failure" TheWolfe

"Unless you are dead, there is no excuse to miss roll" TheWolfe
