Dip fucking sucks. It is the greatest and worst thing ive ever been in contact with. Ive played sports most of my life. When I turned 13 and got to high school all the guys had a chew I tried it once and boy was I hooked. I loved it after every practice, ninja dips during class I couldn't get enough of it. Grizzley wintergreen was my weapon of choice and has probably been my closest companion since I can remember. I took it with me every where I went. school, practice, church you name it I had my can. For the past few years I have begun to wonder why I dip. Me teeth are now very yellow I always have white patches on my checks and dip in my teeth every time I look into the mirror. I just cant understand why I keep doing it.... Then I put my next dip in and remember why I cant give it up. Well I'm here to tell you today there wont be that next time. I am only on day 1 but have begun to enjoy telling people I don't dip. Friends, family, etc ive told everyone that knows me and of course there response is "ya right". Proving them wrong is only going to be icing on the cake. I will take help from whoever has time to provide it. I just want you to know that I am committed and ready to roll. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you #day1
Advice from someone still very close to the Suck ! - Day 19 here and Welcome to November
1st piece of advice is post roll everyday and make that promise to not only yourself but also your fellow quitters that you will not touch the Nic for the day.
2nd piece of advice is fucking mean it when you make the promise
3rd - reach out to your fellow quitters of Nov and seasoned Vets to grow your connection and passion to quit
Follow steps 1,2 and 3 each and every day wake up and repeat and you will tame the Nic bitch.
Now as to the Fog/haze and hell you are going through:
Drink a shit ton of Water like 2+ gallons a day for the next week.
Keep other items on hand - Altoids, Gum, Seeds, Hard Candy, Fake Chew if thats your thing, oh and Water!
Try to stay away from caffeine for a bit as it could cause you headaches
And last Alcohol can make us do dumb things stay away from it for a bit until you get through the major FOG.
So go post roll, send me your digits in a PM and lets tame the bitch together !
as a fellow November quitter proclaimed yesterday - ABQ - Always Be Quittin
