I logged on back in Sept. of last year, certain that it was my time..... well, of course I caved and have not made yet another attempt........ I have chewed since about age 12, I'm 37 now. It seems that I go thru more now than I did say a year ago...... I have three kids, and I have my moments where I truly think that Im one of the ones who can skate by without getting cancer and be fine......
I know that's fuckin stupid logic, and just an easy way to put it off...... Why is the thought of just dumping out my cans completely horrifying? Then what? Does my head rotate like the gal on the Exorcist and I go totally fuckin nuts? I need to quit, and I half ass want to quit..... it seems so unattainable...... snoose is so pathetic, I cannot believe the grip it has......
lookin for advice,,, gettin yelled at... whatever...
thanks
Easy
Easy, the most important question you need to ask yourself before you go any further is "Do I really want to quit?" If you answer no or can't say yes, go no further you are not ready for this. If you answer yes then you can proceed.
If you are serious about quitting you need to come up with a game plan. You need to ask yourself these questions. Can I do this cold turkey? Do I need nicotine replacement to help me? If so, what kind? Gum, patch, Chantix?
If you need replacement therapy to help out, you should make an appointment with your Dr. and talk to him/her about quitting. Your 37, you should have a physical anyway. Maybe discuss other options that may be necessary. Anti-depression meds sometimes can help, maybe you'll need something to help yourself sleep.
Next question you need to ask yourself is "What are my triggers?" Do you dip first thing in the morning? After meals? In the car? Outside? Fishing? Hunting? Taking a shit? You'll need to alter and change your behavior. An example would be me for instance. I would wake up first thing in the morning and throw a lip in and watch the news. I don't do that anymore. Now I wake up make coffee, maybe some breakfast, I don't even turn the TV on. See what I am saying? Alter and change. You'll have to do this for everything. Driving is another big one. I make sure I have seeds and gum in the car. Maybe stop for a coffee while driving.
The great thing about this site is all the info is here. You have to look for it but it's here. We all quit different ways. This works for me. If you truely want it, you'll get there. It will suck at times and other times it will be great. I spend so much more time with my family because I am not spending that time with shit in my mouth.
Now the harsh part. Your a grown man right? What would you do if some little round faggot was controlling you? You would fight back, I hope? Your not going to let this little tin of worm shit controll you are you? Sure you may get beat kicked in the nuts from time to time but hopefully you'll find the balls to pick yourself up and keep fighting. Thats what this quit is about. Do you have the balls to stand up and say fuck you, you tin of shit. I don't need you. I am better without you. Your ruining my life. Your wife doesn't think you can do it, your kids may not think you can do it. Mine did. I was weak, but not anymore. Turkey
