Been 7 days, now all of a sudden gettin urge back. I feel like I need something in my lip again. Just ordered mint tobacco free, nicotene free alternative don't know if its gonna help or hurt. any suggestions
sure thing! we're all about suggestions here...
first off, let me tell you that you're right on track! congrats on a week, but you're not out of the woods. you WILL have difficult times for quite some time now but the beautiful thing is you've done the hardest work from a physical standpoint - the nic is out of your system and you're free of it forever... now the mind games begi
"i've quit for a week... i can quit anytime"
"i can have just one"
"i'll feel better if i just have one dip"
"i'll only dip when i travel and i don't travel all that often"
all LIES.
as for the fake stuff, do ANYTHING necessary to keep the real stuff out of your mouth... if it means fake snuff, then so be it.
remember, don't try to quit forever... quit one day at a time.
make that decision and you will MAKE IT!

THE DECISIONQuitting dip comes down to one thing... a
decision to quit. I can't spell it out any simpler than that. Sure, it's much easier for me to say that today now that I've quit than it would have been on day 1 or day 10, but every day that goes by, I believe it more and more.
I'm not here to tell you that the
decision is easy to make because it's certainly not. There are some days when the
decision is downright nearly impossible to make. But it's a
decision that needs to be made no a daily basis.
There are many things in our lives and in our quits that we have no control over. We can't control the weather, we can't control how people view us, we can't control what happens at the office, we can't control whether we are sick. In our quits, we can't control the withdrawal that we go through, we can't control WHAT symptoms we'll experience nor can we control how long those symptoms persist.
To look at it that way doesn't look good. But remember... the
decision.
You can DECIDE to put a dip in.
You can DECIDE to NOT put a dip in.
You can DECIDE whether you want to continue to be a slave to the can.
You can DECIDE to LIVE your life WITHOUT dip.
I've had conversations with other quitters and cavers. I've been asked what makes me different (than someone who's struggling). The answer is simple... I made my
decision. I'm not any stronger, I'm not any better and quite frankly I'm not any different. I'm an addict just like all of you... I made my
decision. I made my
decision this morning just like I have every morning since July 24th. I'll make a
decision tomorrow as well.
When you're thinking that quitting isn't possible... when you're thinking that everything is out of your control and you NEED your dip... make a
decision.
You're in a place where people can help you once you're made your
decision but we can't make it for you. We're here to help.
DECIDE to let us help.
DECIDE to not dip today.
DECIDE to live life WITHOUT dip or chew.
DECIDE to live.
This thing is simple -- it's
decision time my friend...
