Remember that the way to battle this addiction is one day at a time.
Each and every day, say "no tobacco today", mean it and stick to it. This is how you will secure your freedom. It is important that you not look back. All of your past associations with dip, triggers we call them, are just that ... in the past. So do not dwell on them. Remember, you don't do that crap anymore, right?? You will begin to build new, dip-free memories and each time you do that, you will be breaking a string that binds you to the past and your reliance on chewing tobacco.
Also, and more importantly, do not look to the future. If you catch yourself wondering "how will I ever enjoy life, or any aspect of it, without tobacco?" or "how can I possibly give it up forever?" you need to stop, take a breath, and say to yourself, "I'm not going to dip now." Frankly speaking, if you try to quit FOREVER, you will most likely fail. That is a monumental undertaking and why would you want to put that much pressure on yourself? Instead, no matter how bad things get, make a committment that for today, you will not use chewing tobacco. Today, you will post roll and make a promise to yourself and your quit brothers and sisters that you will not try to kill yourself by giving yourself mouth cancer or a heart attack.
Today, say to yourself, say it outloud ... "No tobacco today!!" |
