One of the hardest parts of quitting is finding the fortitude & making the decision to quit smokeless tobacco. But, if your ready, its an easy one to make.
You must understand that you need to make this decison for yourself. You also need to understand that no one else can make it for you, and that you are an addict. Once you understand these three things, making the decision to quit smokeless tobacco becomes much easier.
Only you can make this decision, and it needs to be about you and nobody else. There aren’t enough nagging wives, health issues or social blunders that can make someone who isn’t ready to quit, make the decision to quit. It has to come from within. We have seen this over and over with nicotine addicts. People who aren’t all in fail.
Yea, you read that right, your an addict. Don’t believe me? Websters defines addiction like this:
ad·dic·tion: compulsive need for and use of a habit-forming substance (as heroin, nicotine, or alcohol) characterized by tolerance and by well-defined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal; broadly : persistent compulsive use of a substance known by the user to be harmful.
You cant go without it, you know its killing you, but you still use it. Your an addict. Understanding this concept is fundamental in making this decision to quit. Once you understand that you are addicted to nicotine, you will be able to understand what is going on in your body when you quit. You will be able to research and learn about your addiction. And you will also be able to understand that there is never, for any reason, a good excuse to go back to the substance that you are dependent upon.
Once you come to terms that you must quit for yourself, no one else can make the decision for you and that you are an addict, its time to face this decision. If your ready, come check out our forum. We can help. Join us.
