Title: I quit on 12/2/13
Post by: pbrain04 on December 05, 2013, 01:48:00 PM
I just quit. I don't even like to admit how many years I have been chewing tobacco or how many times I have tried to quit and failed. I always just figured I would not be addicted to dip at some point in my life. The years continue to roll by and my addiction just never disappeared. The years just keep rolling and I just keep dipping.

I have a family now and I don't want to die. If I don't stop I am going to die. My family needs me. I want to see my boys grow up.

I'm so tired of hiding and the guilt. I dip in the office at my desk thinking nobody knows. Well turns out people did know and they just didn't say anything. They have known for a long time and I was finally confronted. I dip on the train ride to work and spit in a dunkin donuts cup thinking no one knows. My 5 year old drank out of a spitter last week and my 2 year old ate a chunk off the floor a couple days ago. I felt so badly about doing this to my babies...so bad that I had to go outside to do some "chores" and have a big dip. I'm tired of "reading the paper" in the bathroom or running errands and telling my wife it took so long because there was traffic. I'm tired of paying $13 for a tin of Kodiak...yeah $13. That isn't a typo. Kodiak costs $13 a tin where I live. I am tired of going to bed 1/2 hour after my wife so I can have my last dip. I am tired of getting excited when my wife takes a shower because that's 5-10 minutes of dipping. I am tired of waking up in the middle of the night wondering if I have oral cancer.

I'm just so tired of chewing tobacco. I am so done with it.

I am three days in. I am experiencing extreme anxiety and I am beyond constipated. I feel slightly drunk.

It was weird leaving the house in the am and not having to find my tin. It was weird today getting coffee because I like coffee and not because I needed a spitter.

It feels different this time. I have failed so many times but this is the first time that I have just become fed up with my habit and quit on my own accord. It's only been a few days but this is the best I have ever felt about my chances. I will take it one day at a time.

Thank you for your support.

Follow AJs advice. Get in here and post roll. Then read, read, read. Read everything on here. Get involved. This KTC brotherhood made quitting manageable for me. You will have some hard times, but the tools are all here to get you through them.
Welcome to the journey of quit.
Great choice, and PM me if you want another number for accountability.

PB you can do this brother. Embrace the battle. Embrace the pain you are experiencing. You have to get through it. There is no other way

There are a bunch of other quitters here who have been in the same position as you. Your intro could have been mine.

PB, nice job of posting roll today. Roll is your daily promise to yourself and all of your new brothers and sisters that you will not use tobacco in any form that day. Each and every day you will post your promise. No exceptions. That is the price of admission to KTC. Nothing more and nothing less. Now that you know the basics, it is time to read all you can on this site. Go to the welcome center and that will get you started. After you have read all you can, look up at your inbox (1). That is a personal message from me with my telephone number. Call it 24/7 when you need to vent or rage at someone...or just shoot the shit. Congrats on taking back your life. Wayne

Listen to that. Go read more intros, we are you, with the same addiction.

We aren't going through someting like what you have experenced. It's not empathy, we are going threw the EXACT same shit.

I'm on day one. 1st post yesterday crying how I could quit til after the holidays. Only I'm now 13h33m into my quit. I'm not the same guy that made the first 3-4 posts one this account. Today I am quit.
DanTheMan is on day 1745. And there's everone inbetween. You came to the right place.

Roll call, This is your promise to yourself. No nicotine for 24 hours. You kept this addiction a secret (or so we all thought). You make your promise to yourself, but you make it public, and we keep each other accountable.
Yesterday I posted here crying how I couldn't quit until... this that and the other.

Today, I'm not worried about my chances of sucessfully quiting. Chance, hope, fear are not a factor in the KTC equasion.
I am fucking Quit. It's the greatest feeling I've had in the last two years since my daughter was born. And it's almost that good. I KNOW will never touch nicotine again. I'm here, and I'm not leaving. I couldn't understand it, til I did it.

I've been up for 34 hours straight, all the shitty withdrawl symptoms I was only prolonging are in here in full force. Today I relish it. Today I can embrace the fog and the pulsing headache and sizzyness and the constipation and shove in onto the pile of reasons I will never touch a nicotine product again. I promised to quit countless times over the last 2 years of misery and failure. I'm done letting my addiction turn all my promises into lies. I can promise 24 hours at a time. I've recieved 8-10 Phone numbers, I sent my number back to them all. I'm not going to find out what happens if I miss roll call. This forum is sucess man. you are in the right place.


The addiction is with us everywhere. But now you have an army of Badass Quitters ready you help you, Text, Talk Forums, live chat. My Badass Quitters are at my fucking fingertips, in my pocket everywhere I go. YOU NEVER HAVE TO FACE THE NICOTINE ALONE AGAIN. And neither do I. Imma find you the link you our roll call, we will be in the same quit group.

I am hurting right now. I have no desire to have a dip. The withdrawal is awful but I dont want to dip. Im mad at the Bear and want nothing to do with it. My friend the Bear is trying to kill me and I have been letting him.

It's awesome to see this community. I wish I knew about this years ago.

That Bear was never your friend.
Never.
Don't assign it any psuedo love or affection.
Ever.
That Bear stole your money, raped your psyche, made you lie, ruined your health, and through its own evil deviousness... Made itself the #1 thing in your life.
All. A. Lie.
Never Again For Any Reason. That's your new mantra! Rock on...

He's not your friend. He never has been. Damn straight he wants to kill you though. As Slowly and painfully as he possibly can. Squeezing evey penny he can till all thats left is your cancer-ridden corpse. And then he'll probaly take a giant bear shit on your dead corpse.



Here's roll call. index.php?showtopic=9121hl= (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=9121&hl=)
Make your quit official.

And you did! Way to go! Guess what, you kicked that bear in his tiny addict nuts. You just took your giant badass balls and Quit. I am quit with you. I know we can stay quit. Nip the Past in the Bud "I have tried this so many times." That shit is over. You will never try to quit again.

Pat, thanks for the texts. Remember, it is one day at a time. You are in the midst of the fog and things will get a little better each day, but it is going to take a several days (up to a couple of weeks) for you to start feeling normal. Fight through the fog and the craves. Exercise and drink plenty of liquids. You can do this.
If you can send a copy of that 2nd text with the picture of your son to your email, you should do it and print it out. Write on the front of that picture that your little boy ate YOUR tobacco and got deathly sick. Fold it and put it in your billfold. It should serve you as a constant reminder of how your addiction negatively impacts those you love and those that count on you for all their needs.
You have lots of support on here. I have sent your number to several of the new boys in March 2014 and asked them to text you their numbers. They will be your ever-growing support network on here. You are doing great.

Your first post said you were fed up with the habit. Your last post said you hated the bear. This is a tough fight nearly every second of everyday and hate will give you far better results, as opposed to just being fed up. Hate that it stole time, money, and life. Hate that it made you steal, lie, and neglect. Channel that hate to beat this addiction. Keep documenting your struggles and re-read them later to remember how far you've come. You will never want to repeat yesterday.

My son eating my tobacco was the end for me. 2 years old. A baby boy that I'm sworn to protect. Vomiting with kodiak in his teeth. I was do disgusted with myself. My breaking point.

Here is a brief timeline on how my quit is going, I'm not sure if it's helpful or not but I made it for another new quitter and he seemed to like it.

"3 days is something to be proud of. The nic is out of your system so it's all fun and games now...right? Well F...guess what? Your body is use to living with nic and now it's mad and is about to really fight you.

The good news is that you understand how to use your tools and you have some good fight in you. The better news is that it gets so much easier very quickly. Now, I realize that "quickly" is a very relative term- as when you are suffering minute to minute, 5 or 6 weeks seem like 100 years. In reality, 5 or 6 weeks is not a very long time.

Keep in mind, I am no expert and I am just going off of what I have experienced the past 138 days. My "suck scale" looked something like this:

Day 1-3: bad fog, my brain didn't work at all. Very little sleep and couldn't take a dump to save my life. I wanted a dip every second of each day.

Day 4-10: Pretty much out of the fog but bad, bad cravings and headache every second of the day

Day 11-14: My cruise control days, I didn't think about dipping much and craves were few and far between. Sleeping good but too much.

Day 15-21 Starting to get my energy level back up. Craves about 2-4 per day and short. The first thing every morning, I started to get an empty and sick feeling in my stomach when I thought about not being able to dip. Started losing my temper easily.

Day 22-25 No real changes, cruising along but feeling a little depressed. I started learning how to hate my addiction and was really mad about it.

Day 26- 30: Wow, I was starting to gain a lot of weight. Weird how I replaced Cope with Ice Cream and cake. I don't even eat sweets but here I am 10 lbs heavier. I don't care, I'm not dipping and the craves are mild.

Day 31-38: Freaking fog was back, some nasty craves and my temper way out of control. WTF!


Day 39-60: The roller coaster days. Mod craves followed by no craves, bad temper and mild depression. A difficult time but I was not giving up at this point.


Day 61-73: The best days by far. Seldom think about dip, temper is way better, sleeping like a normal person and just feeling pretty darn good. I am stacking up these good days to recharge my batteries and prepare for the next round of fights".

Day 74- 85: Really good days. Strong cravings when I have too many drinks so I have been careful with drinking. Normal days are now 0-1 crave. My temper has been completely under control for 2 weeks now.
Day 86-99: Zero craves, zero dip dreams and temper under control. The strong craves when I drink are also gone. I am disgusted when I see someone dip. Proudly watching my group hit HOF one at a time; which is just how we quit, one day at a time. My guard is still held high as I know the fight is far from over.

Day 100-135: I am on a high as I have reached my first goal. My guard is held the highest it has ever been in because I will not disappoint all those who have helped me.

Day 136: Rough patch at work this week. Just found out that we are closing our Sleep Division (I'm in Medical Sales). I make about 50% of my commission in sleep so I have no idea what I am going to do.

I took my wife to a nice dinner and explained it to her. We are both freaking out. I also drank about 6 Martinis and for about a 5 minute period, I told myself I was going to get a can on the way home. Who cares at this point...right?

I got up, went to the bathroom, got my tools in order and said fuck off Nic Bitch....I may be willing to screw myself right now but not everyone who has helped me. I put my big boy pants on and went home.

Minny and his 1+1= 2 theory kept ringing in my head.

Day 137-138: Guard held high and in for the long run. Weird dip dream last night. I just remember feeling panicky because I needed some SM and couldn't find any at any store. I woke up and was fine. It is funny as I haven't used SM since my first week of quit.

Thanks for the advice. I am doing ok now. I have been here before. Over the 20+ years I have been dipping I think I may have made it to day 30 quit several times. That's when I always blow it.

I'm 5 days and Im not saying its easy but in a way it is. The hard part is when I get "comfortable" down the road. I am preparing myself to be ready for that. This community is the first time I have ever had support from people that understand. I'm feeling confident. This is also the first time that I am angry at my addiction. Fucking hate it. Im so fucking mad at it. So sick and tired of it. I will never use tobacco again.

pbrain i bet you are really confused by the guy "bigbamadan" with a phillip fulmer avatar. Let me say that his advise on here is much better than his choice of football teams. He seems to be a little 'Crazy'

Anyway complacency comes when you aren't ready to be quit. You wander away from this site thinking you are cured and then she pops in and hooks you back into slavery. Never forget why you are quit.

Your in a good place, we are all quitting with you. Worry not about your previous stoppages. Take this quit one day at a time. I can't tell you I will be quit next year, but I can assure you that I will not dip today, due to two reasons, I refuse to break my word, and I have given you my promise by posting roll today. ODAAT has me at 221 days of freedom after dipping a can a day of cope for 20+ years. Don't want to get complacent, burn it into your addict brain you will not miss roll for any reason. I simply refuse to mis roll. And keep your word no matter what, I refuse to falter my promise to the brotherhood. Do this and complacency will not be an issue. You got this! I quit with you. Erussell 221

How is this for a trigger?....I have to pass Kodiak St every morning and every night to get to/from work. Then I pass my old dip store 100 ft later.

I'm considering sawing the street sign down.

9 days. I got this.

In the first week of my quit I rode in my buddy's car 45 minutes to our Sporting Clay league. He dipped the whole way and his tin was on the center console, inches from my arm. Then, when we got there, all of the other shooters on my team had big fatties in and even held out an open can to offer me a pinch. The ride home was a bit easier, because I had just passed a couple of tests and my confidence was rising. This was a sign of things to come, and before long I welcomed temptation like Lt Clnl Kilgore facing the battlefield in Apocalypse Now.

As you face triggers/temptation/withdrawal, you'll want to claw your eyes out sometimes and you'll be just fine others. But in every case, you will not cave and you will be stronger because of it.

Soon that sign will be a reminder of how big of a badass you are.

My wife went out with her friends. I just tucked my two year old in. Watching a show with 5 year old.

Guess what I'm not doing?

I'm not dipping and I really fucking proud of myself.

Well done buddy. That is a victory. I remember that first win. Alone with the 5 year old used to be, hurry up and put a movie for him so I can cram my face full of crap while the wife is not around. We were idiots, but now we have a second chance. Quit with you today.

I'm on the train commuting home. This dude sat down next to me with a huge fatty in his lip. Not even ninja. Spitting in a empty Pepsi bottle. Looks like early 40's?

I feel bad for him. He smells like shit. My trained nose tells me it's cope. He is a slave like I was11 days ago.

I have two stops left. When I get up I'm going to tell him I quit and how I did it. One day at a
time.

I'm am so jammed up at work right now. I have so much to do I don't know where to start. Stress Stress Stress stress. Its times like these that drive people to cave. Im not caving. Day 16 has been arguably my hardest. My head is spinning and the lights seem brighter than usual.

I took 10 minutes and started post rolling on other quit group threads. Seeing all the names of people with their quit numbers helped the crave pass. Roll posting occupied my mind. By the the time I was done I felt a lot better.

My two cents. If any of you new guys are struggling give it a shot.

Day 21 of my quit and today is a piece of cake.

Day 20, yesterday, was not.

I don't go shopping for anything...ever. My wife does everything. She asked me if I could go the mall and try and find something for three of my co-workers. She did not have time. I agreed.

I learned a couple things during my trip to the mall.

1) Teenage girls dress extremely inappropriately. Seriously. I was shocked. I never go anywhere that I ever would see this many teenagers. Do these kids have parents?

2) Crowds of people apparently give me anxiety attacks now. I have always had issues with anxiety. I know a lot of people do so it's not embarrassing to me. Normally I would reach for my dip pacifier and all is good. But I don't do that anymore. Things got really bad. Lightheaded. Bright lights. Dizziness. Headache. I felt like people were staring at me. I couldn't take it so I bagged it and went hope.

My wife was pissed. She had a right to be. She needs help and just because I'm still learning how to deal without using doesn't give me a free pass.

We got in a really bad argument. I completely lost my cool. I said some things I had no right to say. Mean selfish shit. The kids were home. It was really bad and I really hurt her feelings badly. I had no right. Its not like me.

I chilled out. We sat down and spoke and apologies were made. She accepted but explained to me that that its not ok to lose my shit regardless of my state of mind. If I lost my cool at work like that I could get fired. Telling my boss I'm a recovering chewing tobacco user would not save my job.

Long message but I'm just venting to myself really. I still feel very bad about my day. Not only the fight but how useless I was out there in the world. It was eye opening. I'm only day 21. Most of it has been pretty easy for me. The 5-6 days before day 20 were a breeze. Day 21 today is cake. So what happened to me on day 20? I don't know but I hope I deal better if there is a next time.

The positive is that I'm still quit. I never even considered caving. It doesn't feel like its an option anymore.

See you all at roll tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing homie, we all have days like thatÂ….yet less than a month ago we could go run and hide (i.e. avoid) and throw in a fatty. So what I find is pretty f'n cool is that now you've manned up twiceÂ…1) you didn't avoid the situation and you remedied it on the spot and 2) you stayed quit. Well played brother. Also what resonated for me was "It doesn't feel like its an option anymore." This is what I love about this site and its mission. We don't come here for a break from dip or a dip vacation, we come here to kick that bitch to the curb. Dip is like low-definition TV. Once you get HD, low def is not even an after thought. Stay strong and stay quit.

In time you will handle stress and situations better then ever. Your wife will like the new you in time. When it gets hard to handle, take a breath, change venue. You will like where this takes you.

better fitness, living and loving the right way.

there are tons of resolutions that we can make. My biggest is just to be a better man. Now there is something to continually work toward. Not perfection but just better.

And staying quit is in that realm of being better.

I caved


FUCK THAT!!!...I DID NOT CAVE!!!

I have not caved because I am following the fucking rules. I have posted roll 54 days in a roll (early), promised to not use nicotine, and kept my word. Just like every quitter here that is winning.

I posted roll today. I will not use today. I promised my friends from this website and all the vet quitters. I will not let them down.

The rules are simple. Just fucking do it. Post roll everyday. Promise to quit and live up to it. It's that easy to save your life!

I am sorry but I am on edge today. All the fucking caving and drama. All the part time "quitters" that are "quit" but have stopped returning my texts and have stopped posting roll.

To all the new quitters. Follow the rules and you will be free. Look at how angry and dissapointed everyone is with the recent caves. I don't want any part of that...do you?

Hey brothers, I love the banter here. Remember that the drama will always be a part of this...

Too many of us pour everything we have into KTC and our own quits, others do not, some people lie, others will whine and cry about stupid shit.

The best thing you can do is be ready for that and embrace the quitters who matter, support your brothers and sisters until they no longer need your support or they lose the opportunity to have your support.

Right on Pbrain! We have some great quitters in March. I am over the drama and am continuing on. Standing right by you. Peace
Hey brothers, I love the banter here. Remember that the drama will always be a part of this...

Too many of us pour everything we have into KTC and our own quits, others do not, some people lie, others will whine and cry about stupid shit.

The best thing you can do is be ready for that and embrace the quitters who matter, support your brothers and sisters until they no longer need your support or they lose the opportunity to have your support.
I just sit and stare a Pinched's avatar....what crave?
Great Read. I quit and repeat. It isn't broke and so I don't try to fix it. It fixes me daily.

Quit on. Just wanted to give props to a real quitter that is honest and humble enough to follow the program.

You have come far in a short time Pat. I am proud to be quit with you...even though you are a full blown Yankee! Stay the course and make that "little man" kiddo of yours proud. And never, ever, forget the mental image of that sweet little kid getting violently ill because he emulated his Daddy and put that shit in his little mouth. Never again Little Man.

Thank you. This means a lot.

But just so you know you two have helped me more than I helped you. I thank you for that and all my quit bros for helping me save my life.

A note to all you lurkers and newbie quitters....This works. If you want to save your life drink this kool-aid, post your promise every day, take it one day at a time. The sense of accomplishment and freedom will outweigh the fog/suck 10 fold. I promise.

Quit with you

a word of advice to you new quitters.

Keep the shit out of your mouth no matter what...but watch your weight!

Im 87 days quit but Jesus I have packed on the weight.

Its easier to lose lbs than cancer but if you can avoid the weight gain all the better.

My two cents

Great job on 87 days. You done what you needed to do to get you here. Now you can start working on the weight. It's all a process. You still have no idea where this is heading. The new you is still in the works.

I think the common thread for most of the Iron Men is that we are more physically similar to the Pillsbury Dough Boy these days....

Going into this, I embraced the fact that I was going to get fat. As if I was knocked up. Put whatever I wanted into my ever growing pie hole as long as it wasn't dip...... I was a rock star at it.

We gained the weight together  no doubt we'll lose the weight  stay quit together.

Now that we are all gonna be rolling into our HOF house I am totally down with working on getting in shape with you guys while we keep quitting together. I joined the quit fast food group and the alcohol slow down. If we can quit dipping we can certainly get in shape. I guarantee I am the worst out of all of you. Quitting dip has certainly given me the confidence that we can do anything we want now! ;Ironman:

My March bro Rdad hit the hall Sunday. I was typing out a short "congrats" text to him and I did something very out of character. I stopped typing and dialed the phone. He picked up and we spoke for about 20 minutes or so. 92 days and this was the first verbal contact I have made with anyone from KTC.

When I signed up on KTC I thought it was pretty weird to give my phone number out to strangers. The thought of calling one of these dudes and actually having a conversation was a completely ridiculous concept.

I've learned that it is not ridiculous. We shot the shit, had a few laughs, and it was cool.

No way I'm going to let that dude down

When I was in my late 20's I was sitting around having a dip with a fellow addict friend of mine. We were talking about how and when we should quit. My friend said he wasn't worried about it. He said "we have a few years left...it's not like we will still be dipping at 40".

I turned 40 today and I don't dip.

So I guess he was right. I pushed it to 39.75 but he was right.

Damn.... I thought you were younger. Well, if your gonna be old...... At least your quit!

When I was in my late 20's I was sitting around having a dip with a fellow addict friend of mine. We were talking about how and when we should quit. My friend said he wasn't worried about it. He said "we have a few years left...it's not like we will still be dipping at 40".

I turned 40 today and I don't dip.

So I guess he was right. I pushed it to 39.75 but he was right.

Thanks guys. Thank you March 2013. Thank you to all the quitters.

Any newbie out there that doesn't think you can do this...you are wrong. I remember sitting on the commuter rail on day 3 foggy as fuck wondering how I would make it through the day. Shit...I was wondering how I'd make it through the 45 minute train ride.

I made it through that day. And the next. And the next. And the next. One day at a time. QLF.

If I can do it so can you.

See you at roll tomorrow...+1

I'm sorry I haven't been around lately. I feel bad about that. I still do some "trolling" in intros daily but haven't been contributing. I'll make it a point to get back into posting.

It's been awhile.

I used to update my intro when I was having a hard time. Whenever I was in a funk, in the fog, or just having a hard time I would spend time reading through intros and updating mine. It helped me get through some tough times. It was a very important part of my quit.

The fog and suck went away and I guess I kind of did also. I still post roll every day with my March 2013 bros but that has been it. I stopped updating my intro. I stopped checking newbie intros. I stopped contributing. I'm sorry about that. It just happened.

I am about to hit the 3rd floor...and my fog has returned. Like a ton of bricks. Big time. Out of nowhere. Like an out of body experience. It has been so long since I felt this. I feel like I am on day 3 all over again. It's not awesome.

So here I am. I am sorry I haven't been around but I am here right now. I spent the morning reading newbie intros. I spent some time on my intro. I reached out to my brothers and instantly received support. I got up and posted roll early. I used the tools that got me to day 297.

I feel better already

Your intro scared me.....because I could have easily written those same things as my intro.

It's scary to think we'll bend our lives the way we have done to pump poison in our mouths.

Your posts have been fantastic, and I have been enjoying reading them.

5 days clear of the bear myself....it's been a struggle, but I'm hanging in there.....

Keep contributing....your presence and posts are always appreciated.

5 days is fantastic. Keep it up bro.

Seems like yesterday I was just a confused foggy fucker just like you

PB your intro speaks volumes, but I think it boils down to two little words: Just quit. None of the b.s., none of the drama, none of the fluff and bickering. Post your promise and quit. That's it. So simple, yet sometimes we lose the forest for the trees and that's when we start to falter. Your intro has truly inspired my quit and I'm sure many others' as well. Perfect way to head into the weekend, thanks for this thread.

Thanks King. I appreciate that.

I was sitting around tonight and thought "I haven't checked intros in a long time". Funny to see my intro at the top after all this time.

I went back to the beginning and read the whole thread. It was a nice walk down memory lane for me. It's also a reminder that we all need to stay sharp. There are dudes all over this thread that are long gone.

Not me though. I still post roll every day. Im QLF. 607 days of freedom.

Pm me if you want support/advice from a complete addict that figured shit out. It's easier than you think.

GO CUBS GO!!!!!!

Watching that game 7 was unreal but man I couldn't help focusing on all the chewing tobacco being used. They should ban that shit from the game. All the closeup shots of the young dudes with half can in their mouths? Give me a break. I don't want to see it and neither should our youth.


Stay quit!!!
