Ok, I am sitting at work checking this site and posting for the first time here. I am reading and getting motivated and have just thrown the skoal mint away. I really want to do this but am already scared to death of the commute home. What the hell am i going to do to stop myself from swinging by a gas station. I'm sure you have all heard this a million times. This is going to be great but right now it really  f-ing blows.
This part does F-in blow. If it weren't for how bad the first three days sucked many of us would be back on the can and quitting whenever we wanted. This first stage is a blessing that you will remember any time you think about caving.

What is stopping you from dropping by the corner store to get a can? YOU!

You make the decision to do it or not. That is all. A decision.

I also just want make sure you didn't "throw away" your can. Just make sure you have dumped it somewhere you can't reach it again.

Seriously, you don't need the fake stuff to quit. When you get it, it could help, but its merits are not agreed upon here. Regardless of what alternative you use, or if you use one, the only thing that can get you quit is that one little decision every day.

You want to know how to stop yourself....Post roll call!

Promise not use nicotine for just today. Here's the dirty little secret the nic bitch does not want you to know. You can drive home with a chew in. You can mow the lawn without a chew in. You can watch football without a chew in. You can finish a meal and not immeaditly throw in a chew. You get the point.

Nicotine has you brain washed that you need it to survive. You do not. First three days suck breaking away from her. But you can do it. It just comes down to the choice of using it. You will not accidently through in a chew. You can choose to quit or choose to use. But the choice is YOURS.

Again post roll call, your promise not to use nicotine, and just concentrate on getting home without a dip. Each trigger you defeat without nicotine will make your quit strongger.

Tim....

Got to quit now....If you hope to post roll it wont happen...The hardest part of the quit is right now...Its the decision that tomorrow never comes and that right now is the only time to quit. Dont put another cancer causing terd in your mouth. Decide right now that you wnat this for you. That you want to be free of all the poison that you voluntarily put in your body. Decide right now that you will do this. There is no other option!!! Take your life back, freedom is the greatest thing achieved but it doesnt start till you decide. Make the decision now! Post roll and see the support you get....You will do this!

PM me if you need anything

Thanks for the reponse. II have just placed my order for some hooch to help curb the cravings a little. I am quitting for my wife and myself. I know the health risks and want to get out of it now before I really regret it. I had a gum graft in the front and consider myself lucky that is all I needed. If I don't quit now I will wreck my mouth. I am nervous about trying to quit without a substitute of some kind though. I was hiding this habit from my wife for a long time and finally told her yesterday. She is being very supportive and directed me here. I signed up on my own immediately so the only marital issues that are going to come from this is my pissy mood later on, lol.

Hi everyone my name is Tim and I have been a nicotine addict for 12 years. I started off by smoking cigarettes and switched to dip many years ago. I have tried to quit cold turkey on my own several times and always fail after the second month. I didnt realize that there is another round of cravings that kick in around day 70 until I visited this site. My wife really wants me to quit and I don't want another gum graft or worse next time. I want to get some supplements to help me because I have tried seeds and jerky and neither seem to do. I looked into the fake dip and hooch looks pretty good. Has anyone tried it? Is that something that I can substitute for awhile without gum damage? I am hoping to post day 1 tomorrow because I already blew it today. So thanks in advance for the support and any answers to my questions.
Tim,

Congrats on quitting. Post day 1 now, tomorrow will never come. Dump your can in the toilet and flush that shit. Just make sure you look at why you are quitting. If its for your wife, you will resent her for making you quit, and will most likely just start hiding your addiction from her. Quit for yourself.

Hooch is good, I like spitfire and mint the most.

Look at the welcome center (pink link on the top) to learn about roll call. PM me if you have any questions.

Steve
