I dont need the beat down from you guys, what I do need is yall to tell me what helped you through this shit.

Sayin you don't need a beatdown gets you nowhere here. No one on this site gives a rat's ass what you "need" unless you are quit. Don't believe me? scroll down through the introductions page and look at my first post "10 years dipping" I fought these guys for two days saying I needed support and understanding not judgement and their quit philosophy.

Want to see support instead of a beatdown? Post roll, that's the only way to get it. Until your name is on the November page you won't get shit from these guys, because you're just lip service "I want to quit, I want to quit, I want to quit"

It's been 4 days for me and it's getting better and I couldn't have done it alone.
If you want to stay quit, post roll every morning, forget all the outside factors that you are turning into excuses and quit.

It's that simple.

As far as tips and tricks go, Fake snuff works wonders on the habitual cravings, reading this site helps for the nic cravings, water water water during the day and keep your mouth shut if you know an arguement is on the horizon. Better to take a "loss" with your s/o, boss, or anyone else, than to explode and look like a fool and say things that are nicotine driven instead of clear headed.

Good advice...follow it please.

Welcome and PM me if you need anything.

Jim, the hardest times in our lives can show us just how much we want to live. You made the correct choice and I quit with you today and every day from now on.

[Hardhatdiver]

Thank you guys, its 0217 and im still going strong. Got a sore throat though. Iwent to the movies tonight with my girl, BTW its one of my favorite places to dip and I didnt even think about it. Thanks again

[Souliman]

Got a war cry? I'm serious. Can you go to a place where if you were being attacked or someone you cared about was in danger you could tap a level of anger that you could walk through walls? You got a place like that inside of you? That's the fucking strength you need to fight. You go post roll. That will get you all the fucking support you can imagine. But I'm still telling you that you need to fight like YOUR FUCKING LIFE IS ON THE LINE. Of course you're going to a complete fucking asshole during this period. You've been putting poison in your body daily. Now take back control and be a fucking example for those folks you preach a "healthy life style" to. That turns my stomach. Man the fuck up. Make the decision that you are worth more to YOURSELF than a few more dollars into UST's bottom line.

I'll tell you the secret that got me through this period. I grabbed my balls with one hand and made a fist with the other and shouted "FUCK YOU NIC BITCH...MY LIFE IS WORTH LIVING. YOU DON'T OWN ME.".

That is the truth. That's not a beat down. That's called "finding quit". Now get your fucking head straight. Do you want to live or die? Do you want to keep your face or not? Are you afraid of cancer? Let's do this.

What's your plan? Sco's right. You read anything here? You have any idea what you are expecting? Go read. Form a plan of defense. Be proactive not reactive. Take fucking control. You have support around you? You know what to say to folks using around you?

If you are an EMT you have a sense of protocol. Start defining a protocol for yourself.

"When I crave at work, I will do _________________"
"When I crave at home, I will do_________________"
"When I crave at the bathhouse, I will do __________"

Fill in the blanks. Get a plan to fight through this period. We have all done this. You can do it. I know you can. I'm not special. I'm a fucking addict and so are you. Your addict mind is trying to keep control of your body. You need to combat that fucker. Now fight.

[ninereasons]

The fact is, there are no tricks. When you are ready to stay quit, you will.

Decide! That's how we made it through. Put your foot down! Step out. Follow us one day at a time. And look behind you. There are others watching you like you're watching us. Freedom is this way.

2 hours have gone by and Its getting bad, havent caved. can someone tell me about this fog shit and when can I expect it?? Honestly my mom asked me to quit for years and I just couldent or wouldent. I can do anything I know but this seems so damn rough. Advice would be great. Ill be honest, i dipped a canand a half today and now I wanna kick myself for it. I dont need the beat down from you guys, what I do need is yall to tell me what helped you through this shit. I got a new job and it starts sept first. I wanna get through the rough shit so im not irratable to others because when I try to quit I get real nasty to people. I just want to live a normal dip free life. Sad part im a personal trainer on the side and I live a very healthy active lifestyle. My dad says Jim you live such a healthy life, why do you ruin it all with dip?? I guess i started seeing what he sees. Im an EMT so how can I tell paitents in the back of an ambulance they should quit smoking when I dip?? Its me being a fucking hypocrit and I sure hate the way that feels. Thank you for the help

Dchogs nailed it on the head. Stop being a pussy and get to quittin!!!! Yes it sucks. Yes it is hard. What did you expect? If it was easy it wouldnt be worth the trouble. You have to quit though. Nobody can quit for you. Like multiple people have told you, READ, READ, READ. Post Roll. Get involved. You will get more suppport than you could ever ask for here...but you gotta pull your own weight as well. Everyone here has their own issues....AND THEY ARE STILL QUIT. Man up and let's get this done! One day at a time.

What has helped:

1. Post roll call- It is a promise to all of us that nicotine is off the table- just for today

2. HONOR THAT PROMISE

3. wake up and goto step 1.

There is no easy way around days 1-3, you need to decide to be quit, no matter how it feels. And it is going to suck. No way to cheat on it though, just have to go through it. You are going to be irritable, grumpy, just a general ahole to be around. You won't be able to concentrate, sleep will elude you..Shortly after that you will begin to have better days, they will become more frequent. But you are going to have to go through some pain to get to freedom. It is the price you are going to have to pay for being an addict.

Your choice, quit or don't. No more trying-

decide to quit, stay here and get it done OR

do another half assed attempt and fade away.

You man enough to hang with us?
