Hello All Intro

[worktowin]

OK Day 2 -- I'm sure everyone has been though this but I only slept about 2 hours last night and that was on and off...never know they were so many info ads on TV!!

Proud of myself as I went store yesterday by myself and didn't purchase a can! boy did I want to, that was a biggie for me!
Did pick up some sunflower seeds and trail mix which seem to help me. Oh and been drinking a lot of water!

Nah... you didn't really want too... cause you posted your promise on here. You won't let yourself down, much less your quit bros once you've posted your promise. Only a sociopath wants to do that.

Now, you might have had some bad cravings, but you pushed those aside and celebrated WINNING!

Congratulations, sir, on a job well done.

Hi Pavo, welcome and congrats on a good decision. Head over to the June quit group and put your name on the roll if you are truly committed to quitting. Yodal and I are both in that group. But know that when you put your name on the roll, you are making a promise to us, and when we put our name on the roll, we are making a promise to you. We take that shit seriously. PM me if you need any help posting roll or my digits.

Hey Titleloops - I believe I posted to the roll call correctly....

Many Thanks!

[Pavo]

Congrats on a great move Pavo. Now all you have to do is be a man of your word and you are well on your way. You can do this

Thanks for the encouragement!

[/quote] No, I was a giant pussy that used a patch for a month before I grew balls and quit for good.

Don't be me, just quit NOW. It does work, and I have had a long enjoyable freedom from nicotine for buying in to the system. No planning will kill the SUCK, so jump in.[/quote]

Thanks Thumblewort!

Ok decided No Nicotine substitute for me, going Cold Turkey!

Purged everything last night before I put my little pea picker on the pillow.

Today is Day 1

[Pavo]

It is important to have your head in the game for sure.....With that being said...Quit at Noon...Take your last dip at 12:00 on 3/20/17. By 3/31 you will have already been quit for 11 Days and well over the physical withdrawal. I have tried to quit many times in the past all while using some type of aid. I am quit 79 Days COLD TURKEY from 3 cans of Cope LC a day just using this site and the brotherhood of quit. Do it now and you will be glad you did. Learn to hate that F$%#ing cat shit that your packing in your lip. Its a dead weed that destroys families. If I can do it you can do it. See you in June Pavo.

Hey Econnor -- Thanks for the encouragement!!! --

Last night before I've went night night -- made sure everything was purged!
Today is Day 1 and going cold turkey!

[Pavo]

Has anyone ever started before their projected start date?



Yeah, I planned a quit date. Put it on the calendar at home for all to see.
2 days before that date arrived the can I had ran out.
So... I just said fuck it! Pulled the trigger and here I am! 22 days.
22 days doesn't sound like a lot, but for me it is.

Hey Yodel  Tumbleweed --

Did it -- before my projected start date --

Same as Yodel did ran out and decided today was the day --

Today is Day 1!

[Pavo]

Morning Pavo!

Don't bother with the nicotine replacements, you are addicted to nicotine. As far as the other "substitutes", I found sunflower seeds most helpful for the oral fixation. I was like a dam chipmunk for about 120 days. Then I didn't seem to need them any longer.

This next part you are not going to want to hear. There is no tomorrow. Your planned quit date will most likely fail. Your addict brain tells you you have a quit date because you can keep shoving nicotine in your mouth. You are a slave. You will find any way to get your next fix. You are anxious and very hesitant to quit. You dread it in fact. But as long as you say you will quit in the future, you feel good about yourself and you get to dip. It's a win win in your mind. But you are losing.

Can you give me one reason why quitting tomorrow will be better than quitting right this instant? If you have made the decision to quit, right now is the only time. Period! No more excuses!

If I can do this, you can do this!

You have no idea how much you have given up in your life. Your quality of life will improve like you can't even imagine. The freedom is worth it!

Balls in your court Sir!

Took your advice and no Nicotine substitute!
Thanks Ravis...

Even better today is Day 1 -- ahead of my so called "Announced Quit Date"

[Yodal]

Hello to All: :)
I've been using some type of smokeless tobacco for at least 35 years, started with loose leaf and went to snuff. I have to be honest, I've been a failure in the past when I've attempted to quit! Most of my attempts only lasted a day or two. I would always find a STUPID reason to startup again. And when I say STUPID they were STUPID excuses!

So I have my date picked but My big question is for substitutes, has anyone ever tried the Nicotine Lozenges to curb the desire? Maybe I should ask if there is something that will help curb the desire better than other things?

Has anyone ever started before their projected start date?

No, I was a giant pussy that used a patch for a month before I grew balls and quit for good.

Don't be me, just quit NOW. It does work, and I have had a long enjoyable freedom from nicotine for buying in to the system. No planning will kill the SUCK, so jump in.

So... I just said fuck it! Pulled the trigger and here I am! 22 days.
22 days doesn't sound like a lot, but for me it is.
I found that the mind games I was causing myself with the whole quit date, was worse than the quit!
Then the suck set in... Feeling fuzzy headed, pissed off, confused.
There's a host of shit that happens when you quit the poison. But all it takes is
one day at a time....
I'm here for you if you need me! PM me!

Morning Pavo!

I dipped for over 24 years. I tried to quit many times and failed miserably until I found this site. If your word means anything, you can quit. Here we post roll giving our word of honor that we will not use Nicotine in any way shape or form for today. We keep our word. No matter what.

Don't bother with the nicotine replacements, you are addicted to nicotine. As far as the other "substitutes", I found sunflower seeds most helpful for the oral fixation. I was like a dam chipmunk for about 120 days. Then I didn't seem to need them any longer.

Balls in your court Sir!
