Hello all,
I've been using dip for 32 years. I've tried quitting numerous times and made it almost a year once but ended up back on it. I'm now on day 34 of my latest and hopefully last quit. I've been struggling really bad the last couple of days and have been chewing cinnamon gum like a madman just to get through it. Unfortunately I also just had rotator cuff surgery on my dominant shoulder so I'm also laid up unable to really do anything for another few weeks anyway. The boredom and I would say a little depression isn't helping my quit at all. It feels like I'm right there at the point of breaking down and buying a can. Any words of advice at this point?
Thanks!
Well, don't buy a can would be my first word of advice. Chewing isn't going to help your rotator cuff feel better or heal quicker. Joining your quit group here and posting roll every day would be a good idea too.
November 2021 is your quit group. Go there and learn horse to post Roll. Posting Roll is our DAILY promise not to use nicotine in any form for the next 24 hours. We mashed that promise early everyday, keep our word and repeat daily.
One day at a time is how we quit here.
I would suggest you get some kind of exercise that will not injure your shoulder and drink lots of water.
Get to know the guys in the November group, exchange phone numbers with them through private message. Those numbers give you instant access to support when you need it abs are also the start of your web of accountability Ava brotherhood. My number is yours for the asking, just send me a pm.
One problem + nicotine = two problems.
Proud to quit with You today,
Chris
