Hallo!

[Radman]

Y'all know what WON'T be in his spam box? Nicotine.

Cause we're all quit.

[SirDerek]

ok I need to speak as I was thinking how to address this.

1) You are trying to quit maybe you have put it aside for an hour, a day... so you are starting to feel the withdraw an the irritability.

2) you have not completely understood the advice that every one here has posted for you as we look out or your best interests in health. Look at what has been said......

a- quit now why wait as nicotene withdrawl only takes hold when you quit it, period, no matter what form it is in.

b- just state the truth and understand that you are an addict like the rest of us... he it was not until I understood this that I then wanted the quit

I think you need to take another look, remove the emotion and realize that this is where you need to be, as you do want to quit, and this place helps you quit by providing tons of resources along with friends, that if you use the site correctly will develop into brothers and family, to help you QUIT. Which is what we all want.

Looks like I was wrong about this site, chock full of tough guy assholes I see.

Somebody uses a different method and you basically tell them to fuck off.

I'll quit on my own terms, not the terms you want to push on me.

I challenge you to drop the nicotine patches and then see if you get a warmer reception. This is a nicotine cessation website. Therefore, we cannot tolerate active members that are using nicotine. All we're saying is that cold turkey is the way we do it, and it's the way YOU need to do it. It's worked for thousands of members here.

Drop the patches and post roll.

Quit Like Fuck.

Looks like you ARE wrong about what you see here.

I see a whole bunch of strangers that give more of a shit about you, then you do of them. I see guys taking you to task and calling you out. I see guys reaching out to you, showing you how you can beat nicotine with one felled swoop.

You can't see cuz you're an addict, and you don't want to see yet.

Welcome to reality bitch.

I'm pretty certain I've never read more excuses and bullshit in one post, ever. That was epic. All the brothers posting before me here have made good points, but I want to put it simple. Not rude, not overly dramatic..... just simple.

STOP OVERTHINKING IT!!

Quit. Right now. No nicotine. No patches. No excuses.
Just quit.
Post a promise to stay that way.
Honor your promise.
Repeat.

It ain't complex.

[hudsonp]

whether you think you can or you can't - you're right. just sac the fuck up and quit, dump the shit and live through the hell. i'm on day 36, its much easier than it was days 1-3, but its still a challenge. i made the choice that it would be worth it. i made the choice to put that shit in my lip all those years ago, so now i'm the one that has to pay the fucking piper and deal with the suck of quitting, and so do you

[916quit]

For God's sake. Either quit or don't. This kind of nonsense just gets under my skin.... Start posting roll and prove me wrong amigo. I don't believe you will quit - and for the record, I have a 100% correct record of calling out fraudulent quitters. 100%!!! You gonna be the guy to break that streak? I doubt it....

Guys have a point. You can do this if u want to but don't post garbage up here. What I have learned over the past month is you need to want this and if u do this team will support you unconditionally. I dipped for 28 years. I thought I wanted to stop for the past 20. I realized a month or so ago I never really wanted to now.
I hope u choose to join the team. We need more recruits. Post roll!

Hi all,

I don't have some amazing story of how I quit after a huge amount of years...Smoked and dipped years ago (total time 8 years, ages 12-20). Quit three times using the patch.

Started up again last year in SERE school, brought dip with me to trade for food, ended up using it to stay awake and not feel so hungry. Started smoking after that, used e cigs to get off of real cigs, then dip and snus because I got tired of tinkering with e cigs.

Tried cold turkey yesterday and today, didn't make it through either day. Currently wearing a patch! Actually bought them on my lunch break and some lozenges.

Tried some of Jake's mint chew, but it just irritated me to have something in my lip that didn't make me feel different.

The fog for me is strange...for me it feels like coming down from a huge high off of weed (from what I can remember of it, I don't currently use marijuana and haven't in years and years), with cravings in between. Timing my cravings today, they lasted anywhere from 14-30 minutes.

I couldn't overcome the fog at work, so I am going with a patch wean over the next several weeks before I am completely off of nicotine, my hopes is that when I am off it won't be so bad. Could be wrong and it will still suck horribly, I'll let ya know

Read a couple of e books about going cold turkey, and it made sense to get the worst over in three days, but my job requires me to be sharp. The next time I have that many days off will be the end of the month, and I don't want to wait, so patch for me with a weekly decrease interspersed with some lozenges during the transition periods.

Huge kudos to all of you who can go cold turkey! I am getting off the nicotine, just going to be a little slower for me.

This is a crockpot of shit. I could break it down word by word but I won't waste my time. "My job requires me to be sharp". That's good bread right there. I'm sure the rest of us have jobs where we can be dull. Seriously dude, grow a pair or go post your "I'm gonna ween off nicotine with the patch" fairy tale on facebook so all your butt buddies can tell you how proud they are of you and wish you "luck".

This sites for MEN who have to carry their balls around in a God damn wheel barrel, not a coin purse. (Sorry female quitters).

[Wt57]

Bullshit to everything you say! You just as well go out there and buy the cheapest form of nicotine you can find and use it until you're ready to quit. And I seriously doubt that that is really in your plans. Please prove me wrong!

Correct, you do not have an amazing story. You are not an unique and special butterfly. You are an addict. I should know. I recognize your story. I am an addict. So lets go through your post.

1. You have not quit 3 times with the patch. You quit zero times with the patch.
2. You did not bring dip to trade for food. You brought dip to complete your planned cave.
3. You did not use dip to stay awake and not feel hungry. You use because you are an addict.
4. Started smoking. Makes sense. Why? It has nic. Just like dip and patches. Do you see where YOU are going? Oh, I forgot to include snus.
4. You tried to quit today. Epic fail. Now wearing patch. I believe this to be true.
5. You prefer nic in your lip to mint. I also preferred dip to mint in the day. Not any more though.
6. I will quickly sum up the rest. You are going patch. You have gone full circle. See #1 above. My prediction this time? Fail.

So, I am going to quit busting your balls now. I know it sucks. You are not unique. Your job is no more special than mine. You are simply hooked on nic and you could care less how you get it.

We have a plan that is 100% successful. You may not fine tune it to make it fit your needs. You must fine tune YOU to fit the plan. What is the plan? Read the welcome center. Post roll every day with a promise not to use. Honor promise. Simple. No patches, no cigs, no dip, no gum, NO NIC.

Say it with me. I quit today. You...can...do...this. You have support now. Focus on today only. 1 day at a time.

Go post roll

A,

My job too requires me to be sharp, I'd bet that most of us here don't have jobs where it's o.k. to be a fuck up. I know, I know, YOU are a special butterfly. If you had a problem with vodka and you drank to much do you think you could fix your alcohol problem by drinking beer! I'm being a bit of a smart ass here to try to drive this point home - To quit using nicotine you are going to use nicotine and you think that's going to work well for you? Man up dump the nic and power through the next 3 days. It will be hard and you will have to focus on doing your job but if you want it you CAN do it.
