I been doing some homework and mentally preparing. My Dr has perscribed some meds to help I have been switching in and out with smokey mountain herbal. After chewing for 20 years I MENTALLY am done. I want this I need this my wife and kids need this I have failed many many times trying cold turkey. Please if any of you have any other ideas on how to prepare please share. I feel I have failed in the past because lack of preparing. I cannot tell you how happy I was to find a website like this one for ideas and support. Many thanks to the admins who devolped this site.
ffpm,
First off welcome to KTC. I was where you are 99 days ago. I was a 24 year addict. The first thing is to admit to yourself that you are an addict.
Next, join your group (January 2014) and post roll daily. Your group is January 2014 because that is when you will be hitting your HOF (100th day quit). I still use Smokey Mountain, I also use Jolly Ranchers, Life Savers, sunflower seeds, and drink tons of water.
Prepare for the suck which it sounds like you are. Next comes the anger management. Find an outlet, shooting clays, hitting a punching bag, working out, turning a wrench on a car, home remodeling. Just divert your anger away from anywhere but yourself.
Finally, use this site, read, send your spouse the spousal support information, read the stories, read the intros, and most of all get involved. Once you get comfortable exchange phone numbers with other quitters.
Now look in your (inbox) on here for a PM I sent you with links and my phone number. Now go join your group in January 2014 quit group. Call me and I will help guide you through posting roll.
