Day 1 of Quit

[Doc2quit4good]

My name is Kevan and I went to the dentist yesterday at 3 pm for my semi-annual cleaning. The dentist wants me to go see an oral surgeon because of the deep tissue wrinkling on the left side of my mouth. He has given me a scare so I have not had a dip since 2:45 pm yesterday, so I am going on 15+ hours quit. Went by Dollar General after the dentist to get some candy to help me through this, but after 30 years of dipping I feel like I am about to go crazy as my emotions are all over the place. My wife is afraid I am going to die so she is all freaked out. My wife told me of this support group and thought I could get more support from people that have been in my shoes than she could give me, so here I am. I do know I can make it and not ever go back.

Hey Kevan. I dipped for over 30 years. I was a dumbass. My dentist told me to consider quitting 3 years ago. I didn't listen. 51 days ago I posted roll and I vowed to stop dipping everyday with the people in my group and on this site. The difference between being scared, but dipping right after the teeth cleaning that day, is that I am committed to stop now. I will never dip again, one day at a time. LISTEN TO THAT!!! It will save your life!!!!

This site can help you kick your nicotine addiction (not a habit) to the curb. We don't use words like try or hope as they are just another excuse for our addictive brains to tell us another lie. There are no short cuts, but here are some links that will help you navigate this site.

This a NO NICOTINE site. End of discussion. Why this Site Works

Best thing to do is get familiar with this site and start building your quit defense.

Highly recommend you go here: Welcome Center, Getting Acclimated, What to Expect   Top Ten List

Your quit Decision MUST be 100% about you. Anything short of that sets you up for failure by allowing your addict brain to blame a given situation as reason for you to go back to the can. Quitting out of fear, based on a medical issue, will fade as soon as the doctor or dentist gives you a clean bill of health.

Post Roll every day or communicate with someone and have them post via text, email or call. Get as many number of your group as you can and use them frequently. Keep in touch with your quit brothers. Send them a PM, text or call every few days just to keep an open line of communication. Give them your email address. Make it IMPOSSIBLE for you to go a day without several people contacting you all day if you don't post roll.

You want another layer of accountability? Come post in my room every morning after you post roll in yours April 2012

Kevan - you read, reread, and rereread the vigor that cbird is dispensing. 30 years of use doesnt scare us. We go at it daily. You need to decide if you are ready to grab your developing scrotum and be free.

;p
