This is my quit. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My quit is my best friend. It is my life. My quit, without me, is useless. Without my quit, I am useless.......

Someone will probably come along with better advice than I, but the main thing is knowing that no matter what trigger comes along, you don't have a choice. If you post your daily promise first thing in the morning, you CAN'T cave. You've given your word, and you are a man of your word. My second or third day when I knew I was headed to a trigger situation, I came on here and posted my promise a second time, just for good measure. Just to remind myself and my quit bros that I gave my word and I'll be damned if I'll break it.

As the saying goes, caving is not an option. Do something else. Like parputt says, shove someting else in your mouth: candy, sunflower seeds, fake dip (NO NICOTINE!!!), bark dust, coffee grounds, whatever. Excercise does wonders.

Come on here and get in chat or just read anything and everything. You'll find good advice at every turn.

Above all, remember that quitting is the most important thing you are doing right now. PERIOD. No trigger situation is worth risking your quit early on. Avoid them if you can. If you can't, have a plan to deal with them (substitutes as mentioned above, escape plan, etc).

If all else fails, you better have some numbers from folks here to call or text before you cave. Those are part of your tools. Use them. If don't have numbers yet, PM me and you can have mine.

Ultimately, just don't put that poisonous shit in your mouth. Just don't do it.

Robert, I am really new to this (only 2 days in) but one thing that works for me it to have something in my mouth in place of the dip. Gun, hard candy, mint dip (fake stuff) all seem to calm the beast. Just take it one day, hell hour at a time if you have to.

Welcome aboard. Feel your pain, at least your ahead of me! I'm just a week in too. We all need help, from each other. Strength in numbers. I won't if you won't. Deal?

Welcome brother! You are at the right place. Use the tools here and the support you will find and you can beat this addiction. There are tons of info as well as vets around who have fought the same battles we are going through. I am 48 days in and my quit is one of the greatest things I have ever done. Yep, it will suck. Yep, it will be extremely difficult. You can do this! Each day you get stronger!

Welcome Reilly. Congrats on a great choice. Yes, this is going to suck...there are no short cuts, just white-knuckle quitting going on here. The cool part is that we're all in this together.

You took the first step, let us help with the rest. Post roll, keep your word, repeat. That's it.

Don't worry about tomorrow, next week or forever. There not here yet. Just focus on what you can control...right now. And right now, you're bad-ass mother fucking quitter. Nice work, brother.

Avoid triggers if you can. Read everything you can...the Kern Family story was especially effective for me...and STAY QUIT!!!

Has a mod contacted you yet? You should receive instructions on how to post soon, if you haven't already.

Also, ask someone to send you the "Contract." It is good quitting reading.

You'll get through this...stay strong, brother.
