Water (and shitloads of it) will help a ton for the first few days. Also keep yourself busy and active. Gets lots of exercise if you can. Just don't sit around because that's when she (the nic bitch) likes to strike. When she calls your name, tell her to eff off. Just do whatever you have to in order to keep it out of your mouth. When you stop at the store, tell them you quit and never to sell you the shit in a can again.
BINGO ^^^

Just be a man of your word.

Arm yourself with seeds, fake stuff, fireballs, whatever you need except tobacco. Enjoy the ride to freedom. It's bumpy as hell but sooooooo worth it. You got my digits, use them if you need them.

Hey buddy, thank you for your service. It's much appreciated.

I think your looking too big picture right now. You need to eat this whale in tiny bites.

You have to get very small when you start this journey. You have to take it hour by hour, minute by minute, and even second by second.

You have to grind it out and realize that every second, hour, day that you make it nicotine free that you have scored a small victory. Over time those small victories will add up and your comfort level and overall perspective will change.

You have to re-wire your brain back to the way it's supposed to be. You weren't born with a lip full of poison. You became addicted to it over a period of years. Its going to take some time to fill in all the ruts nicotine carved into your brain.

You have to realize that this is an ADDICTION and not a habit. Chewing your nails is a habit. Big tobacco loads this shit full of chemicals that are meant to keep you going back. They are a sick bunch of assholes.

You can do this. You will do this. You just need to take a deep breath and focus on TODAY and don't let your brain wonder too far down the road.

Quit on...
Well said Diesel.

By the way, my name is Tim and I am an addict. I will always be an addict and I am okay with that.

The ball is in your court now.

Well Raider, after 22 years of honorable service, I'd like to say yes. However, I think my word is good to others, I feel like I have to question keeping my word to myself though. I have always taken pride in being forthright and of good moral stature, and I would never go against my word to another. But I really wonder if I could keep a faithful stand to myself. That seems to be my issue. I guess I've grown to not care enough about myself, only for others.
Then that's what you need to figure out. Let's say you decide that this is for you. Here is a bit of what will happen for the next few days.
Days 1 through 3: The nicotine will be reducing in your body
Post day 3. The nicotine is gone but the cravings will still be there. How do you handle that? By building a web of accountability here. Getting phones numbers from other quitters that WILL support you. You start feeling itchy, you get on chat or call a buddy
The first few weeks will suck. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it but each day will suck less. There are various stages of fog and funk that you will go through. Can you make it? Yes you can. How do we do that, you may ask? there are 3 simple steps to quitting.

1). Post Roll daily
2). be a man of your word
3). Be active around here.

I really hope for yourself that you realize that this is the best thing you can do for yourself. As I said before, quit for you but your family will benefit. My phone number is in your inbox. Use it if you feel the need.
