I'm a week into my quit now. With every single day that passes, my will to stay quit of that nasty addiction we all used to love grows stronger. Will is like a muscle, it must be exercised to grow bigger and stronger. So, every single day I wake up I make the choice to be quit another day. I will myself to not have any nicotine for another 24 hours, I get on here and post roll to make that promise not just to myself but to my fellow brother and sister quitters here on KTC, and I practice my strategies to deal with cravings as they present themselves.
A week into this thing now and I've also realized that my quit is about way more than just me. I've got an entire group of fellow quitters to stay accountable to, so every single day now I will text my brothers, I will post not only roll on here but also post more and do more than just the bare minimum of what's required so that my quit becomes stronger and with it, my will hardened more like iron and my resolve strengthened like steel. I am proud to be quit today, and every other day with folks like y'all.

JParis,

Welcome to the group. You have made a wise decision.

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.

Morning dudes. Today is day 5 and my will to stay quit grows each day. IÂ’m really thankful I stumbled on this site. There are a ton of valuable resources on here and accountability is a tremendous resource as well. A little about me, IÂ’m 32, started when I was 14, can a day for 18 years of my life. IÂ’m just really thankful to be here, IÂ’m thankful for today and IÂ’m thankful to no longer be dipping.
