Title: Day 1
Post by: JeffH4257 on November 16, 2020, 04:34:17 PM
It's been more than 24 hours since I quit.  Copenhagen WG LC.  I have been wanting to quit for some time.  It's been an on and off relationship for 10 years.  Most recently on again (June 2020).   I have seen this site before, never been on to post.  So you are stuck with me now that I am posting.

Anyway, I know the shit's about to get real.  I am ready.

Welcome and we are glad to have you here, @JeffH4257 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=18759) . If you are truly ready to quit, let's get you posting roll. It is a daily promise that you will not use tobacco/nicotine for that day. You are in my Feb Pre-HOF 2021 group found here: https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=16776.0 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=16776.0).

Quitting sucks, so we take it One Day At a Time (ODAAT). I didn't really understand it at first, but it makes perfect sense as you get into your quit. We can't say we will never dip again, but what we can say is, I promise to not use today. Tomorrow is a new day and a new promise.

Again, welcome and please reach out if you have questions or need help :)

Plusses always outweigh the minuses when it comes to quitting nicotine Jeff.  You are killing it my friend.  Every 'one day at a time' just keeps adding on the the previous ones and before you know it, the craves will subside and you won't think about dip all the time.  It really does get better and better.

As 2020 winds down...I see many "lurkers" around KTC.

No better time to quit than NOW!  You will never regret your decision to quit.  Why not today?  A new YEAR.  A new YOU.  A new NORM.

Day 47 for me today.  Take it one day at a time.  It's doable.  It's an amazing feeling taking your freedom back!

You control what you put into your body, why continue poisoning yourself? 

KILL THE CAN before the can kills you!

I quit with all of KTC today! 

Happy New Years Eve KTC peeps and especially the February FreeBirds.

Cheers!  'shots'

60 + 1 days. (this is more for me than anyone :)) )

61 days taking it ODAAT.  61 days to take inventory of myself.  61 days of beating myself up.  61 days of mental gymnastics.  61 days of taking deep breaths. 61 days to remember what brought me here in the first place.  61 days to reflect on a lifestyle of ninja dipping.  61 days of reading damn near everything on KTC.  61 Days of kicking my own ass for not being a stronger man.  61 Days of apologizing to my wife.  61 days of forgiving myself.  61 days of being thankful. 

61 days is just a beginning.

61 days isn't a special number...but it is +1 more than 60.  I like to think that in 61 days I have made some bonds with some people here that are unbreakable.  #AllMYFebruaryFreeBirdsForever  @MNxEngineer (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=21) @FISHFLORIDA (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=7) (I see your numbers on my text, and I smile. and I think to myself...Fuck yeah!  I want to have those numbers!  Thankful for those numbers.)

They say, that it takes 10,000 hours of intensive practice to achieve mastery.  I am 1,464 hours into my quit, and have a lifetime to go...but if I take it ODAAT, I can achieve anything I put my mind to.

As the lurch of the 70's creeps in (oh I can feel it, started around day 53 for me), I continually have a conversation with myself that
A)  the craving is fleeting
B)  I have a Bad Ass Accountability Group 
C)  There is no way I will even consider buying another can!

Here's to all the +1's today!  PTBQWYT  ODAAT QWTBOF

Thanks for reading.

Chewed an entire can last night!!

But it felt real.  Every bone in my body hurts this morning, all because of the nightmare.  That's it.  It wasn't a dream, it was a nighmare.

Day 91

To the Guests,

If you are thinking about quitting and stumbled onto this site, good for you.
Your urge to quit dip has led you on an internet search that has led you to a place where you can earn your life back.

You are probably asking yourself some important questions about now.

Am I ready?
Can I do this?

It's a scary task to quit something you have done for a long time.  Scarier though, to consider the possibilities should you wander away from this site, and continue down that path of addiction.  The big C word come to mind?

You are never truly ready to do anything in your life, whether it be a first kiss, a first job, first career, marriage, kids.  Nobody is really prepared for everything.  All those things took a leap of faith and a commitment.

That's all you need to do here.  Take that leap of faith, make a commitment to your family here and never look back.  What you have done in the past to stop chewing hasn't worked.  You can't do it on your own.

I hope that you will join us in our quits.

It has saved my life, it can save yours.

One Day At A Time!

-Jeff

Thanks for the shout out Jeff. 357 magnum is special to me as I remember going squirrel hunting with my dad and that was the gun he used. We were always amazed by his shots but he was a marksman in the Army. He also reloaded his own so we were fascinated as little boys by that. I haven’t seen that gun in 35 years and haven’t seen my dad in almost a year thanks to this genocide from china.
Keep doing what you are doing here on KTC and it is nice to see new people step up and help. You have a special talent and I am so glad to see you utilize it here. We need more people to be involved and not just post and ghost. PTBQWYT

Thanks for the shout out Jeff. 357 magnum is special to me as I remember going squirrel hunting with my dad and that was the gun he used. We were always amazed by his shots but he was a marksman in the Army. He also reloaded his own so we were fascinated as little boys by that. I haven’t seen that gun in 35 years and haven’t seen my dad in almost a year thanks to this genocide from china.

Those types of memories are gold!  I can imagine the awe you had watching him fire his .357!

Thanks for the kind words brother!  KTC has provided a great outlet for anyone willing to step up and grab life by the balls!

Day 110

If you happen to stumble across this, it isn't a fluke.  I came across KTC in my search to quit dip. 

What has happened is absolutely amazing.

I have made connections on here with folks who I am damn proud to call friends.

I don't have all the answers, but what I do have is a positive outlet for quitting that shit in your lip.

Post your promise each morning.  Simple concept.  Difficult to execute at times.

When I post my promise to my brothers and sisters of quit, it makes it fucking impossible for me to break my word.

My dad used to say that even if you don't have 2 nickels to rub together, what you do have is your word, and your word is invaluable.

I am fucking quit today, and never going back to being a slave to the can.

I could never do it alone.

Thanks to my KTC family.

Day 138

So I just got home from the C-store.  Needed a single can of beer for my chili.

Guy in front of me is buying typical C-store shit when he asks for a can of Copenhagen WinterGreen Long Cut.  That was my preference of poision.

Anyway, I strike up small talk with the guy...eventually getting to the point of, "You know that shits gonna kill you?"

He agreed that it would, indeed, kill him one day, but not today.

He did say that he's thought of quitting many times.  I asked him, "what's stopping you from quitting?"  Says he will, "eventually quit dipping one day"

Isn't that just about par for the course for an addict.  The lies we told ourselves to make us feel better about continuing our addiction.

I am here quitting with all of you today, ODAAT!

I love having those conversations with people out of the blue now. The addict speak is strong and unrelenting. Thanks Jeff for stepping up and all you do.

These kinds of interactions will continue to pile up for you and they never stop being meaningful and adding another stone to your foundation. Thanks for sharing your story. A quote you might like on the power of stories.....

“Stories have power. Gleemen’s tales, and bards’ epics, and rumors in the street alike. They stir passions, and change the way men see the world.”

Keep racking up these kinds of wins brother, ODAAT.
