I came on here to observe and learn how to defeat these demons!! 'bang head'    Greg
How to observe and learn: Throw the can away - right now - and say the following:

I will quit this stupid habit for today!
I am quitting as of now.
I will be accountable for my quit today!
I am an addict!

There is no observing how to quit --- you just do it. 1 day at a time - that's how you defeat the demons, 1 day at a time. Like Parputt said - it's not a 30 days of quit - it's 1 day at a time!

Join me on this ride - and we will go down the path together!
QD - 5/13/11
1 day at a time!

Welcome Nico,

5th time quitting? That's probably about how many times I tried before landing here. Hoping that this would be the time....I learned something right away from the BA quitters on this site. Trying didn't work, Hoping and wishing didn't work. No luck here, just a simple program of DO. We DO post roll every day. It's a promise not to use nicotine in any form for just that day. We DO honor that promise. I can't promise you 30 days of quit, but I sure can promise you one. We DO wake up tomorrow and make that promise all over again. We quit one day at a time. Sounds way too simple, but it works.
So set your mind on this - you are now quit- for today- caving is not an option. The quit is very intense over the first 2-3 days as nicotine leaves your body. It gets much easier after that. Read all you can, knowledge is power.

PM me if you need anything.

Glad to be quit with you,

30
Greg, as 30 has already stated, there ain't no hope here only Quit! We do not condone caving and will not give you a big warm hug if you fail. Failure is not an option. Muster all the intestinal fortitude you have and Quit damnit! Really a pretty simple concept, do not put a dip in your mouth.

If you ever get the feeling that you will just die if you do not have a dip, then wait a minute or two and see if you actually die. Hmmmmmm lookie there still alive.
