I Quit today

[FMBM707]

You'll never regret quitting.

Get on live chat when you want to rage.

Drink a lot of water the next week or so.

It's going to suck before it gets better but it will get better. Quit one day at a time. If you're stubborn you can make the promise once a day not to use nicotine and then stick to it.

Don't let this shit kill you.

Welcome to the asylum Neil......Your intro is solid, you already have the understanding of this undertaking and that will go along ways. Realizing that we are addicts is have the battle. Then we (you) just need to start kicking the nic bitch in the face. I to was a 25+ year nicotine addict and it took me until 40 to figure it out. What a dumb ass I was! Like the others have said, post roll, keep your promise and do it again the next day. We'll walk with you through the fire brother...........

Thanks Menace and others. I was really lucky to have stumbled into this place. I read all night last night here at work and just couldn't do it anymore. My struggle other then the dip will be how, when and where my rage is directed. I don't have a problem with being an asshole at work but I don't care to bring that home.

Welcome Sir, good to have you. These guys have laid down some great advice.

Do not be afraid to shout when things get rough. People will be tripping over each other to help.

Nice bro! Welcome.

I am an addict. 25 years of flat out idiocy. I was up to 2 cans a day for the last 10 years or so. Hardcore.

510 days ago I dropped it cold turkey.
You. Can. Do. This.

Keep this site close for awhile. All the inspiration and motivation you need is right here. Get to know this site... Get to know your quit group. Get involved and stay involved. It really does work m'man. Freedom is here and it's yours for the taking. Rock on...

[Grizzlyhasclaws]

Welcome to freedom. Freedom comes with a price. Post roll and honor your word. It's not easy but it's very simple. You can definitely do this. I quit with you today.

Welcome Sir Nope....

I'm a recovering addict, nearly four decades to Copenhagen. More than a can a day for the vast majority of those years. Best advice I can give you right now is to go post roll...you'll be in the December Quit Group... you can find them here: December 14 RANTYou can learn how to post roll here:How to Post Roll. Posting roll is the foundation of the site...it is your promise to your quit group that no matter what, you will not pollute your body with any form of nicotine that day. Posting early removes the option to use...simple as that. Site is built on the accountability and integrity of each quitter.

Read everything you can find on this site....there is a wealth of information about the quit journey you are embarking on. It WILL SUCK, for a fair amount of time, as your body weans itself off nicotine, then as your brain rewires itself to shut down all the dopamine receptors you've built up over time.

Drink plenty of water, as that will also help in the detoxification process. Whether you use gum, seeds, fake dip is up to you...just whatever works to keep DIP out of your face.

Glad you're here.

Welcome to the Suck Sir Nope! Understand that the next few days will be difficult. I'm only on day 6 and today was, almost, decent. But it does get better!

Hang in there, it is worth it and I quit with you today!

Griffin. Day 6

[Sir Nopenhagen]

I quit today. 20 yrs of being held captive by Copenhagen. I have tried before but this time I WANT TO.

I have the most wonderful wife and two best boys, 7 yrs and 4 yrs. I don't want them to learn this from me. My dad dipped growing up so I followed suit. I don't want that for my kids. I work in a steel mill so I work swing shifts and I happen to be on night number two as I write this. I stopped and got cans of smokey mountain and threw my last can of snuff out the window on the highway. I spent all night last night reading on this site and had planned to stop on my first morning off but after reading last night I just needed to nut up and do it now. I took my last dip at 7:30 this morning. I know it gets better, it has to cause this sucks. I will need help, I am hard headed and tried this before.
