Dentist quit in 2 days

[Old Dog New Tricks]

Thank you for the post! I really appreciate the information provided. To be honest,I'm scared and nervous. I've been planning this, with the support of my wife and father, for 5 days now. This quit is more than anything I have ever tried before. I'm using that as motivation to REALLY QUIT. I will post in roll call and I am looking forward to KTC for support.

Thanks again!

That's great. Your quit will be stronger when you have people that you don't want to disappoint, including yourself. You'll do well. Sounds like you are prepared. Just wrap your head around 2 facts: (1) you are an addict...the sooner you acknowledge that, the faster you can change your destiny, and (2) you are NEVER, EVER going to have nicotine in your system again. If you own those two concepts, you will succeed.

Here's a great KTC post. Do all the things in this post and you will maximize your use of this site and your quit.

Welcome! The September Samurai Quit Group will be your home once you decide to quit. It is based on the month you will achieve 100 days clean. Visit the Samurai Quit Group page to learn how to post roll call every day. topic/11155274/#new/

Your official first day will be the first day you post roll call, which is a commitment to yourself and each of your quit brothers/sisters that you are clean for that day. So get over to the Samurai Quit Group and post roll on Friday morning. I don't mind so much that you have a plan for Friday. I'm a 38 year dipper who is a lawyer and CEO, so I stopped on a Friday too so that I could use the weekend for my first 2 fog days. What I do mind is if you are waiting til Friday because you don't have the gumption to make your quit stick... and that's why these other guys are giving you a push to quit now. But no matter, any permanent quit is a good quit, whether it starts today or tomorrow.

Your job is to honor your quit one day at a time. Just get thru tomorrow my friend...Do not cave in to the cravings. And then Saturday morning, post roll again and repeat that every damn day.

As you know, the first few days suck, but by Day 10+, things start to get a lot easier. Drink lots of water and/or cranberry juice. Exercise and sweat out the toxins. Stay away from alcohol for the next couple weeks so it doesn't weaken your resolve. It'll take 3 days for the nicotine to physically get out of your system, and then the real mental battle starts fighting the cravings your brain's nicotine receptors so badly want. You can do this. Many of us old dogs are 30+ year dippers and are now proud to be free.

Proud to quit with you. PM me anytime that you need help. Also, people here share their cell numbers, especially during the first few weeks because I promise you that you are going to want to text or call someone when you start having a craving. Really, really helps to have someone in your corner at that moment.

I just finished reading how to post roll. I will be sure to do that!

[AppleJack]

Unless you quit right now... or until you quit tomorrow (we'll see)... do us the courtesy of not posting again while you're using. It's a slap in the face and a kick in the nuts to all the real quitters fighting right now.

Let's see whatcha got...

I respect all of the feedback. Thank you!I have tried to quit several times also and have failed.

My plan to quit starts tomorrow because I have put certain things in place (within my circle of life)which will assist me through the initial 3 days of hell. I have tried the "quit now", "throw 1/2 can away" several times throughout my 31 years of chewing and have been unsuccessful.

I really do respect the comments I have received from you guys but this is what I need to do. I promise I will be on here for the next 3 days looking for assistance. I made the initial post on the introduction page to do just that...introduce myself. I want to use KTC to help me get through this.

Post roll first thing in the morning. You said Friday your done. Be a man. You are n different than me. 30 years myself but I did it. You are not the only one. Post roll tomorrow. Old dog will be looking for you.

Seriously!! Do you really know what your saying? I have had an addiction to chew for 31 years! I have read all the articles and post on this website over the last week and they say to have a "plan". I agree with that!! My plan is to quit on Friday. I have set plans within my circle of life to minimize failure issues. I understand and respect what you are trying to do but please respect my plan. I WILL BE ON HERE FRIDAY BITCHING AND MOANING. I'm looking for support for "my plan" which is Friday. Please respect that

We don't respect "plans"... we respect quit. Plans are subject to change as you proved 3 years ago in failing to follow through with, well, anything. Like Mike said... we're gonna be hard on addict speak bullshit. We def won't be as hard on you, and your family, as the cancer you're flirting with. Why are you still willing to risk the roulette game? If you'd sack up and do this now... You'll have endless support (me included!) and Friday is another day of actual rock solid quit instead of a "plan".

I'm with AJ here-- and with you when you just dump it today. Just do it. The "plan" is not a date, it's for how you will cope. I was in it as deep as you, and this place helped me when nothing else ever did. So far so good, by following the advice of others here like AJ.

I planned to quit almost every day for 25 years. Yep, I threw out literally thousands of partially full cans with the plan to quit tomorrow. And the next day. And the next, and the next....

Fuck planning. One day, after my doctor gave me a fistful of pills to control my cholesterol, blood pressure, and a myriad of other ailments... I quit. For a while, it sucked. I'm not gonna dwell on the suck, because it is well documented here. What isn't well documented is the fact that every day I am now winning at something I lost at every day. Or how absolutely amazing it is to be honest and free. I suspect that you are a big time ninja dipper. Not a good way to live. Looking over your shoulder when you buy... hiding in the shower to get your fix... hiding cans all over kingdom come and being terrified someone will find them.

Now, this is where it gets dicey... when these "plans" are pointed out here and a bad ass like AJ points out that plans are BS, 50% of the time the planner gets pissed and doesn't come back. 45% of the time they man (or woman) up and quit RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. 5% of the time they follow through with their plan. You are at even odds that you've got a shot at this. Don't get your feathers ruffled. Listen to AJ. Start your day of freedom right now. One more day of shoving poison in your head isn't going to matter if freedom is what you seek. You can do this. Trust me... if AJ or I can do it, you can.

AppleJack knows exactly what he is saying!! You are right that you should have a plan. AppleJack and myself are also right in saying that there is no better time to quit than right THIS minute. I'm a 36 year/2 cans per day, sometimes 3, user. I tried the planning, date setting deal. It never stuck. There will always be a reason to put it off another day. So yourself a favor and quit right now. It won't be any easier tomorrow.

But, if you insist and you really can't try to quit till tomorrow, I will be here to support you. A big deal here is keeping your word. You give us your word that you are quitting tomorrow and we will be here to support you. Of course we will give you all manner of shit for not sacking up and quitting today. No one gets a free pass here at KTC.

Good luck tomorrow. Maybe that last chew today will not be the one that gets you.

Annie's daddy-I'm looking forward to it!! I would love to have a companion for this quit date!!

Applejack-I'm not kidding!! I know ALL of the consequences of dipping and I still do it because of the stresses of life. In fact, I educate patients all the time about issues with smoking and smokeless tobacco.
You're right. I did give up 3 years ago and I am a slave to the stupid can. This time it's different. I have a 13 yr old daughter and a very supportive wife that are concerned about me. I WILL BE QUITTING ON FRIDAY!

Blah, blah, blah...

If youre not strong enough to do it right now... you won't be on Friday.
If the stresses of life are "making you chew" and keeping you from quitting now, sorry... they won't be resolved by Friday.
Friday is NOT special.

You're wallowing in addiction and letting it rule you.
A weed.
A chemical... nope... a poison.

You're owned.
But... you can fix that right now. Tonight.
Tell me... why are you waiting? Why?
Do it now and by Friday... you're about halfway done with purging your body of nicotine.
That's a better way to spend Friday don't ya think?

Man up, bro.
