Could use a pep talk....

[robbie]

Well played sir...

20 years of 1-2 tins/day (yes we call them tins up here in minnesota) Skoal Straight

Told myself I would quit when I got married, when I turned 30, when I had my first kid...0-3

I don't want to die of cancer--to many people I know have done this--getting to close and real

I don't want to leave my wife to raise our10 month old son on her own and not get to see him grow up. She has told me this many times, time for me to man up and be a dad.

As I said --I want to keep on keeping on..

Went last week with lozenges only--a lot of hard candies etc--then weekend came and went through 3 tins.  Now back at Day 1--I'm having a tough time--seeds and frozen carmels are not quite doing the trick tonight.  Switched to Nicotine lozenge but that seems like cheating also thinking about not having another chew ever again is tough --not sure if I can do this-any words of encouragement?  Seems like I might be able to do this with lozenges but how am I going to get away from those basically have them in most of the day....I think I am in the bargaining stage of DABDA starting to cross line to depression already rats...Stumbled on this site, hoping this might help...

Not gonna waste my key strokes on a "pep talk" for you.

You're attitude blows, you want to replace on nicotine delivery method for another, you give no reason WHY you want to quit, you have no confidence in yourself, and despite sucking on nic tacs, you still blew through 3 cans over the weekend.

Now its Monday and you want to quit again,. Yet just the THOUGHT of it is bumming you out. You stumble across this site wanting people to tell you everything is ok, you can suck on your nic tacs, if you cave again.."its ok, just try harder, here's a banky for you, goo goo ga ga."

Wrong site bro.

You remind me of a piece of wet spaghetti...spineless and weak.

Man up and go cold turkey for one week, and I'll show you some love. Until then, get bent.

Easy there Sparkie. He posted in May '13 so we'll just worry about today for now.

It's finished I posted roll

Thanks for the help

And an excellent job if you ask me. Took me three days to figure it out.

Another May quitter here ('09)..... :ph43r:

Robbie, as a newbie myself I also had doubts I could do this, but you can. I'm 18 days quit thanks to this site. The first 2-3days sucks something awful, but stick it out. Everyday after that is getting better. You won't believe how great life is until you break the spell nicotine has on you now. You've been fooled, just as we all were, into thinking chew or dip made things better. After 3 days without, you'll see the truth. Stick it out one day one hour one minute at a time. See you at roll call in the morning.

I'm trying to figure it out--must be like this to keep your mind off of chewing--so I post roll for May 2012?

Yup...and you'll find the May group here.

You'll get the hang of it before you know it.

OK--just flushed the final 3 lozenges I had and spit out the one in my mouth. Going to try to figure out how to post roll--it begins, just got to keep on keeping on

Thanks for the support guys

Attaway! You can do anything for one day, right?

Here's how to post roll.

Just get your promise on the May group somehow (we all screwed it up) and then keep your word.

Man that is not what I wanted to hear--I wanted to hear the lozenges are a step to a quit

Never tried cold turkey before--this is going to be rough

Can I post roll right now?  Might be my only shot--think I'm ready...

Toss all the nicotine and you can post up right now. The lozenges just prolong the struggle and make you go through withdrawal again and again.

It can be the simplest, hard thing you do. Change your mindset that you CAN do this. Post roll, keep your word, repeat tomorrow. You have no idea how much better it will get. Stay quit and you'll wonder why you didn't do it years ago.

Freedom is a good thing.

You said it- i never tried cold turkey before. Well, you never quit before either, you may have paused, that is not what we do here. We fucking quit! No one here will say its easy but quit is good.

Yes, your first step is to post in the May 2013 group that you will not use nicotine for the next 24 hours. Tomorrow rinse and repeat. You mentioned earlier that you didn't know if you could remain quit forever. Don't think that far out. Take this challenge one day at a time.

Robbie - the candy has nicotine in it - you might as well have a dip in - throw the nicotine drops in the shitter and flush them - the first few days WILL be a bitch - you will not forget how much they suck. Dumping all the nicotine is step one here - click on the welcome center up top and read through it - it'll tell you all about the next step - posting roll - that's the backbone of this site - if you don't get it ask questions here. You quit here the KTC way and you'll have support - you and a few thousand brothers that all have your back - it works.
