Title: Could use a pep talk....
Post by: robbie on February 11, 2013, 10:07:00 PM
Went last week with lozenges only--a lot of hard candies etc--then weekend came and went through 3 tins. Now back at Day 1--I'm having a tough time--seeds and frozen carmels are not quite doing the trick tonight. Switched to Nicotine lozenge but that seems like cheating also thinking about not having another chew ever again is tough --not sure if I can do this-any words of encouragement? Seems like I might be able to do this with lozenges but how am I going to get away from those basically have them in most of the day....I think I am in the bargaining stage of DABDA starting to cross line to depression already rats...Stumbled on this site, hoping this might help...

well robbie we are a cold turkey site so dump those nicotene lozenges.

cause it is the nicotene that you are addicted to, so why change one delivery method for another. That would be like saying the pocket knife is just not causing enough damage when I stab myself, lets try the kitchen knife.

its still damaging you/poisoning you all the same, just a different method.

just get rid of it, get quit, and take a strong stand for yourself.

Robbie - the candy has nicotine in it - you might as well have a dip in - throw the nicotine drops in the shitter and flush them - the first few days WILL be a bitch - you will not forget how much they suck. Dumping all the nicotine is step one here - click on the welcome center up top and read through it - it'll tell you all about the next step - posting roll - that's the backbone of this site - if you don't get it ask questions here. You quit here the KTC way and you'll have support - you and a few thousand brothers that all have your back - it works.

Man that is not what I wanted to hear--I wanted to hear the lozenges are a step to a quit

Never tried cold turkey before--this is going to be rough

Can I post roll right now? Might be my only shot--think I'm ready...

Toss all the nicotine and you can post up right now. The lozenges just prolong the struggle and make you go through withdrawal again and again.

It can be the simplest, hard thing you do. Change your mindset that you CAN do this. Post roll, keep your word, repeat tomorrow. You have no idea how much better it will get. Stay quit and you'll wonder why you didn't do it years ago.

Freedom is a good thing.

OK--just flushed the final 3 lozenges I had and spit out the one in my mouth. Going to try to figure out how to post roll--it begins, just got to keep on keeping on

Thanks for the support guys

Yes, your first step is to post in the May 2013 group that you will not use nicotine for the next 24 hours. Tomorrow rinse and repeat. You mentioned earlier that you didn't know if you could remain quit forever. Don't think that far out. Take this challenge one day at a time.

You said it- i never tried cold turkey before. Well, you never quit before either, you may have paused, that is not what we do here. We fucking quit! No one here will say its easy but quit is good.

Attaway! You can do anything for one day, right?

Here's how to post roll. (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=50)

Just get your promise on the May group somehow (we all screwed it up) and then keep your word.

You'll get the hang of it before you know it.

Robbie, as a newbie myself I also had doubts I could do this, but you can. I'm 18 days quit thanks to this site. The first 2-3days sucks something awful, but stick it out. Everyday after that is getting better. You won't believe how great life is until you break the spell nicotine has on you now. You've been fooled, just as we all were, into thinking chew or dip made things better. After 3 days without, you'll see the truth. Stick it out one day one hour one minute at a time. See you at roll call in the morning.

Not gonna waste my key strokes on a "pep talk" for you.

You're attitude blows, you want to replace on nicotine delivery method for another, you give no reason WHY you want to quit, you have no confidence in yourself, and despite sucking on nic tacs, you still blew through 3 cans over the weekend.

Now its Monday and you want to quit again,. Yet just the THOUGHT of it is bumming you out. You stumble across this site wanting people to tell you everything is ok, you can suck on your nic tacs, if you cave again.."its ok, just try harder, here's a banky for you, goo goo ga ga."

Wrong site bro.

You remind me of a piece of wet spaghetti...spineless and weak.

Man up and go cold turkey for one week, and I'll show you some love. Until then, get bent.

Well played sir...

20 years of 1-2 tins/day (yes we call them tins up here in minnesota) Skoal Straight

Told myself I would quit when I got married, when I turned 30, when I had my first kid...0-3

I don't want to die of cancer--to many people I know have done this--getting to close and real

I don't want to leave my wife to raise our10 month old son on her own and not get to see him grow up. She has told me this many times, time for me to man up and be a dad.

As I said --I want to keep on keeping on..

Basically what Diesel is saying is that thank god you found this site. You are going about quitting in a sporadic way. Read this site from one end to another. Learn what we are about. Drink the kool-aid here. You will learn how to quit one day at a time. Just remember to post roll everyday. Keep your word. Embrace the suck. It won't be easy but it will be rewarding. Quit on brother!

Robbie, now that you've thrown out all your nicotine and posted roll I have a couple suggestions that can mean the difference between success and failure. Read everything you can, get active on the site (get acquainted and get numbers) and most important put those big boy pants on because your gonna need them to hold your balls, because they will grow daily! Pm me if you need anything.

You have a wife and a child you need to QUIT! DO NOT touch the lozenges, gum, patch or any other fuct up nicotine delivery system provided by big nic to you keep you making them money and leave your life a widow and your son fatherless. 4 years ago I began using nic gum to help me quit. This gained me an addiction of 100 pieces of gum per week plus 1.5 cans of griz per day. The shit is a lie and will leave more addicted. Put the extra money in your kids college fund and you'll be able to send him to Harvard debt free (not that I in any way endorse that sissy school). Stay strong man and stay quit for yourself and your family!

Rob, Some things are worth fighting for, this is one of them. Quit all nicotine products. Post roll, (its a pledge to us that you won't use today, keep your word.)
Embrace the suck. Don't be a slave, live free. You can do it.

Go read the Tom and Jenny Kern story. Check out the cancer and surgery pics on this site. Plenty of modivation there for sure.

Nobody or thing controls you but you. Make your choice.

Quit for you Robbie!
I say this as a dad of 4 with a wife who had to endure my chewing for 28 years, I had many times tried to quit for them but that only caused problems, my addict mind would say I needed the chew and my wife or my kids were the reason I wasnt chewing! I realized I needed to quit for me and nobody else that way if I sink or if I swim it was completely up to me!!!

You do realize this is a totally nicotene free site no gum, patches or lozenges.....

I know what your thinking is this seems crazy but once you get past your first week things do get better, the best advise is to keep you and your mind busy, drink lots of water and excercise as much as possible it has always been my experience that a tired or worn down Grizzly25 is way more tolerant than a full powered un-nicotened one!!!!

Anyway I hope this helps and if you need someone to reach out to or talk you out of taking that chew PM me and let me know.

This site is a tremendous tool make contacts and get involved and it will get better!

reach out before you need to if you haven't yet, that way you won't puss out at the crucial moment and fail to make contact because it's strange to reach out to someone for the first time when you're in need...

You will learn about your self trhough your being quit. I say this to you as I experience these things myself, now 52 days quit. It aint always easy, it is quite possible, it is its own reward. Keep posting. Your quitting makes me stronger.

Wow, this shit is powerful! My son is teething like crazy and has a cold so he is a irritable as can be --usually I would throw a nice big Skoal in and space cruise so I tell my wife to get some sleep I'll watch him. Searching through cabinets for his Tylenol to chill him out I find a container of 2 unknown nic lozenges that did not get flushed in the initial quit plan-- all time freezes. You can't write this shit!

Take them to the toilet...plop plop flush.

God didn't put us on this earth to "space cruise" through life. You're little man is teething. Throwing in some skoal won't do anything to make that better. In fact it might kill you.

Even though he's driving you nuts right now, I'm sure you'd like to see your son grow up to be a man. One bad pinch of skoal could literally kill that dream.

Never again for any reason. We are here for you.

Sounds stupid but just needed a response/support --and you guys sent in the big dogs "Diesel"

Shits flushed --made it through --feels like I'm back at day 1 body is shaking and shit--but no way to get nic tonight

Unreal---you vets speak the truth Nic's a cruel bitch --no worries I'm clean and will post roll tomorrow for day 5

Thanks for your thoughts

Does not sound stupid at all. You're right on track. Keep grinding.

It sucks right now, we all know that because we've all been in your exact shoes. I didn't think you'd make it 5 hrs let alone 5 days. 5 days is fucking huge though.

Might as well keep going. You only want to do this shit once.

Listen to me when I say this because its the 100% Gods honest truth. Things will get better. The pain and struggle in the early days is absolutely worth it.

Every day you go without and every hurdle you clear, like you did tonight by throwing out your nic tacs and not "speed cruising" through your sons teething episode add up. Eventually those little victories add up and that huge rock you're pushing right now inch by inch, WILL GAIN momentum and start to roll. Its just gonna take time.

The pysical parts a bitch and rewiring your brain is tough, but I'm proof that anybody can do it.

You cannot imagine how great it feels to be free, to not be a slave, to not turn to a can every time the going gets tough. Its beyond beliefe. I wish I would have quit sooner. I dont need dip and never did. Nobody does.

Keep fighting bro, and don't be afraid to reach out to us, rage, bitch, whine, cry or complain. We are here for you.

Thanks for the motivation--you really helped me get through the first week

I have no idea how I did not cave on Friday, that was extremely tough

Craves seem oddly strong today but the foggy cloud has disappeared---keep thinking good thoughts for me, still very early--been reading some of the vets history --motivating makes me want to get to those numbers some day but got to focus on today --read something I liked from Phil16 "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift. that's why its called the present. My quit has a one day shelf life, it is renewed each morning and consummated throughout the day as each crave is beat to a bloody pulp. "

used to chew all the time when I was working out. one hard adjustment is getting motivated to work out w/out chew. I have not liked any fake stuff from past tries--just not the real thing. I made some homemade fake stuff --shredded carrot, celery, apple and some coffee--not bad. Anyone else have any good substitutes or suggestions?

When I read this post it reminds me of the sage words of SkoalMonster. Nicotine does not fill the hole, it creates it.

I bet you love to work out, but, nicotine has created such a hole you can no longer enjoy something you enjoy. :unsure:

The reason you don't like the substitutes is because...wait for it...they don't have nicotine. Just think about that? That is just how much nicotine affects our brain, brain mechanics and psychology. Poison, pure poison.

My suggestion is to take your life back from the nic bitch. Go in there and workout and damn enjoy it even if she is not there with you. No more romanticizing. Tell her she is dumped. No longer wanted. Want to really piss her off. Tell her working out is better without her. 'na na'

I used to think that I would no longer enjoy things like hunting, fishing, golfing, playing poker because I always used those times to get my nic fix. Time proved me wrong and now I enjoy them even more and am not hampered down by it. Live free and rediscover life.

What^^^^^Buffalo said! I wrapped chew around every activity. 158 days ago I put down the can absolutely terrified wondering how i would survive. Three things I can tell you:
1) it was not easy
2) it gets better
3) You will never feel better about yourself

I quit with you today!

I'm sure you can still celebrate and enjoy the wedding without a cigar. Pretty sure its been done before. Just tell your Dad what you're doing. I'm sure he will understand. That's my 2 cents, anyway...

My thoughts? Put your name on the roll, keep your word and at the end of the day you will be that much stronger and be able to look in the mirror and be proud of who is looking back at you! It really a selfish attitude but quitting has to be about you and only you! Just so I don't get jumped to bad sure there are outside motivators but, ultimately be that selfish prick and quit for you! Don't forget to reach out for help when faced with adversity!

OK my quit friend. I read about the wedding celebration and your father's cigars. Remember throughout the day that there are lots of people here thinking about you and remembering when we were sorely tempted, or really thought we wanted to and could....enjoy nicotine again. It is not enjoyment - it is addiction and every the immediate rewards of taking in poisons used to feel good to us. If you were to throw away your quit opportunity and the wise decision you have made, the cigar would taste terrible, so don't go for it. Think of me. think of us wo also have been right where you are today, in one way or another.

I've been reading up on you, Robbie. I tossed $80 worth of nic gum and $500 worth of Cuban cigars. Best decision of my life. It was fucking liberating. Really great to see you've kept your word through the wedding.

Feels great, being a man of honor for the first time in a long time, doesn't it?

Nice work.

Last night was the first time I was around someone who dipped since my quit. Buddy of mine who I actually gave his first chew probably 10 or 15 years ago. He had a big dip in the whole night. I am ashamed i did not want to tell him i quit WTF? In the back of my mind i thought ill have a dip with him again someday just like old times. Tough night I avoided the topic did not talk to him about dip at all. Did not feel strong enough to fight off the bitch if I got too close. So on one hand I'm clean day 27 is done. Other hand my guy is still chewing from my influence. I need the strength to fight off the bitch and tell my friend proudly I am quit. Any vets or anyone have any similar stories?

I can relate. Its tough. You did right to stay away if that's what you felt most comfortable with .

Early on you have to be selfish with your quit. Whatever it takes to keep da shit, out your lip. If it means staying clear of your buddy one night. So be it.

Eventually though you wiill have to tell him. If he's any kind of friend at all, he will understand.

Also, you need to change your line of thinking. Dont be "ashamed" you quit. Fucking shout it from the roof tops. It takes a man to quit and a Pussy to remain a slave to the can. If anything you should be ashamed you fell victim to that shit. I knonw I am. I'm sure you and your buddy can still have good time minus fucking dip. If not, your friendship was for shit.

I told my buddy who smokes like a chimney. He was extremely supportivem. We used to play video games every night after our kids went to bed as he lived right next door. He would smoke and I would chew. Seemed like some of the best times as we'd play game after game of tekken and talk shit the whole time, and they were, just that nic had 0 to do with it.

Great job on the quit so far!!! Proud to be quit with you!

Day 36 coming to a close. Still thinking about chew all day long the thought of driving to store and getting skoal straight crossed my mind numerous times. I posted in my group earlier regarding getting annoyed with people easy, like I said I must be a very unpleasant person to be around. Anyway leaving for New York tomorrow for a few days. Maybe the change of scenery will do some good and take my mind off skoal.

Weird my wife had a nic dream about me last night, none for me yet (as far as i know, i never remember my dreams) but she had a very detailed one guess that's good or weird or both

Anyway I am quit and so can you

I know exactly how you feel Robbie. I am on day 79 and I remember feeling the same thing between day 30-40. It is uncanny actually, this post sounds like me writing it. It will get better, just keep doing what you are doing. You are winning man.

As far as driving to the store goes...................screw that man, you have come way to far to go back now. You have broke out of prison and crawled thru shit to your freedom, how could you turn around and freely return to your cell.

It is one thing to have craves and screwed up thoughts, but realize that those are not things you can control. What you can control is your behavior, decisions, and actions.

Keep up the great work.

Just keep plugging along.. The funks will always pass. They pass faster if you exercise a lot. Each time you come out you'll have thicker skin, and get stronger. Failure is NOT an option. I had some MAJOR funks, and I feel so much better. Like Keddy says - It's worth the fight... quit with you

Takes a long time to work the bitch out of your system. She will keep whispering at you for a while. Doesn't mean you have to listen to her. When the urge arises, don't fight it, don't give it power, just ride it out and let it pass. It will, if you don't resist it. We are addicts, and our default position for a long time was dip, when times were good or bad, happy or sad, whatever the reason was a reason to dip. Today you know there is no good reason to dip, that dip will kill you, it will isolate you from those you love, and whatever you are going through today you will have to go through again if you start back up. All that logic doesn't amount to shit dealing with the bitch. Just smile to yourself when she starts whispering, give her a good old 'Finger', and carry on with your day. It get's better.

I can relate to you situation completely, I probably single handedly got 10 of my closest friends into chewing. Most have quit, a few still chew. I have taken the approach of "shouting from the rooftops" and you know what, everyone that still chews understands and deep down all want to quit too. They are true friends becuase I know all would tell me to fuck off if I asked for there tin. If they acted any different then I would have to stay away. Remember you quit for you, if you cave because your affraid of what your buddy will think then fuck him, hes not a real friend. Remember, missery loves company, thats why we all work so hard to stay quit together. If your friend pushed to have you go back to chewing he must be suffering his own missery. Stay true to your quit. I quit with you!

Hang in there man. I'm at day 35 and have been having cravings like nothing I've felt before; even the first week. I'm not sure why that happened but it has passed for now. Trust me when I say if I was able to get through the past week, you can too. I came so close to caving that I can't believe I'm still quit.....my promise I made to everyone on this site was one of the main reasons why I didn't cave....believe me I wanted to. I still want to cave if truth be told but I refuse one day at a time and I trust it will get better. Do you same man....and keep busy.

She likes to nip at you. Likes to keep bugging you to bang her one more time in hopes that you'll get back together with her.

She LOOKS pretty good sometimes, when the lighting is just right, her makeup is caked on just so and her push up bra has her milk pillows actually looking decent. Dude...she almost looks fuckable doesn't she?

Nah.

You've tapped that nasty ass over and over and over again, and sadly so have a lot of other dudes. She's loose, her clam is festered with sores and vaginal warts and reeks like a bloated grouper roasting in the sun. Her bush is untrimmed and nasty, looks like a god damn hair bomb exploded. Having sex with her would be like rolling a hotdog down a hallway. You don't need that nasty crap anymore.

Sadly though you're still at full mast, in time you'll be half cocked, and eventually will get zero lift off from your bag. But it will take time.

You're lucky you havent contracted any stds from her. Having her make your snake puke mayonnaise can only lead to bad things...maybe deadly.

Buring sensations when you piss, blood in your stool, steamy semen, gange green nut sack, elephantitis of the taint...that's the shit you have to look forward to if you decide to retap.

Nobody wants that shit.

Just keep telling her NO. Rub one out if you have to. Call us and we will talk sense into you .

Youre a good looking dude, probably. There is plenty of prime trim out there. Nice tight snatch worthy of daydreaming about.

Don't go back to that blown out snatch that will feel and smell like meaty chilli. Shits nasty and will kill you.

Just keep giving the whore the heisman and she will bother you less and less, and eventually you will be like "beat it bitch" the second you get a whif of that puss infested twat.

And she will

I promise.

I know one of the things I used to do back early in my quit was eat alot and well all of the time, I would stay awake cause I couldnt sleep or just had to stay awake sometimes but when I wanted to sleep there she was the nic bitch telling me all sorts of shit just to use once more........ well I have been determined to stay quit and on everday sice I decided to quit my choices look like this.....


A) Stay Quit
B) Eat some Italian
C) Watch some basketball
D) Get busy with the wife!!!
E) Remember my promise to stay quit and not break it!
F) all of the above

What would you answer?

Did you notice the choice that is not even on the board?

This is where your resolve kicks in and your choice becomes easy!

You know, we were serious idiots for putting that krap in our lips for so long. I don't even know what I would call ourselves right now if we went back to it. There is no word in the dictionary I can think of that doesn't involve a lot of 4 letter words. Maybe some vets could help me out here. Question of the day,, what words would explain us if we went back to the can after 50 + day?

Faced my toughest challenge and biggest trigger this past weekend playing softball without chew. I used to go through 2-3 cans a day when I would be at softball tourney. Had no idea how I would do. Let a couple of my KTC brothers know what I was heading into and the support was amazing. I posted roll Sunday am from dugout before game via text. (thanks again srans -- bad ass may brother)

The bitch tried to get me right from the start. I carpooled with a guy that smokes, he lit up a heater within the first 10 minutes. It was a 4 hour car ride-- he had probably 6 cigs. I beat that shit, to be honest I did enjoy a little second hand smoke but he had the window open so hopefully that does not count as cheating...I drove 4 hours next to a dude smoking and only had 1 smokey mountain fake chew for prob a half hour. The rest of the time nothing, no seeds, gum or anything. I also straight up got offered a cig a couple different times and chew once right before the game. Turned all that shit down. I used smokey mountain during the games and once during a tough crave but beside that it was not too bad. I am not at the point where I don't need anything so yes I chewed the hell out of 3 or 4 smokey mountain cans but proud to post roll Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

On top of all of that--Tonight on Facebook somehow stumbled upon the guy who gave me my first chew 20 or so years ago. This was through someone else's page I am not Facebook friends with him, have not talked to him in prob 15 years. Weird man brought back a lot of memories...

Long update but this has been some hella weird, challenging and amazing past couple of days. For real I had some doubts in the back of my mind if I could stay quit once softball started. It is only the beginning of the season and I am sure the bitch will regroup and come back at me with a vengeance but for today I proudly post and say I am quit an so can you

Keep on keepin on, taking it one day at a time

Good job robbie. We've been beating the nic bitch down for for well over 70 days now. We've battled the affects of withdrawals, brain rewiring, depression and everything else the nic bitch can throw.

Yesterday was the first day I held a real tin in my hands since my quit. I was playing softball so there is a lot of temptations and triggers. I saw the guy next to me put a big dip in so I asked him to throw me his tin. It was Husky Wintergreen, (I chewed Skoal Straight) I packed it, opened it and took a long smell real close to my nose. Closed it again, packed it a few times opened and smelled again and then threw it back to him. And honestly it was not that hard to pass on--the nic bitch was trying to tell me to have one it would be ok, but I stayed strong, stayed quit. I wanted to face the shit head on right in my face and win. And that is just what I did

Thanks to all the quit brothers that have helped me get to this point--never would have thought I could have done that. That train should be at my house Wednesday

Keep on Keeping on

You, my friend, were bumping uglies with The Bitch. Shhe looked good and said feel the tin. She said pack it and smell it. You listened to her sweet, sweet sounds, yet your quit remained strong. She got pissed; she said pack it again and take a bigger smell. You did but your quit stood stong again.

My advice. Don't let her fool you into touching a tin, much less packing it. And for fucks sake don't open and smell it intentionally. You are playing with fire. This +1 shit is hard enough. No need to make it harder.

Why even give the whore the time of day? Some dick flap was packing a lip full on the golf course this weekend. He knew I quit but was like, "you want some?" With a big smile on his face.

I simply said "dude, get that nasty shit out of here".

I'm not gonna bust your balls for packing and smellimg the shit, but it does seem like a bit of a dance with the devil.

Hopefully you got it out of your system and won't put your face in the whores muff anymore. God fordbid next time you take a lick.

I agree not the smartest decision I have made just needed to know I could face the shit not just avoid it. I won't be letting her that close again.

This is not exactly a response to your specific situation but I thought it worth sharing. Take what you need......

Diffusing the Nic BitchÂ’s narrative

You will likely hear whispers from the Nic Bitch. The Nic Bitch is ONLY effective if you do not understand HER. Knowledge crushes HER.

Realize the whispers in your head are not “you”. It is your addiction speaking - the nic bitch. She will disguise herself as “you” because she understands “you” are the decision maker, not her. The only way she gets her hit of nicotine is if she can convince “you”, it is a great idea to plan, obtain, and ingest nicotine. She has no choices available to her.

ONLY YOU HAVE THE POWER OF CHOICE.

The nic bitch must fool you to get nicotine. Therefore, she is cunning. Her whispers will sound like “you”. She will create the illusion that it is your voice speaking. She will exploit. She knows your weaknesses. So, think about your weaknesses and recognize them. She knows if you like to celebrate with nic, drink with nic, drive, mow, relieve stress…whatever. In summary, she is an addiction cloaked as a person.

Next time she whispers, you will understand it is the nic bitch and not you that came up with whatever hair-brained scheme that just floated through your mind. Some stupid internal conversation. Talk back to her and diffuse her narrative. “Yea, bitch, I just heard you. I know it is you and not me that wants nicotine today. I made a promise not to use nicotine today, so fuck you.” Then punch her in the face.

I feel ya Robbie , it's only my 9th day but I went to the dollar general store last Thursday to buy some bleach. When I got to the counter to pay I saw all the tins lined up ready to be bought, used and ending up under some poor schmuck passenger seat empty for two months until spotted and and picked up and shook thinking there might be a dip in the can! I don't even want to hold a tin! I will quit with you!

A few months back I posted about going out with friends who chewed and hiding the fact that I quit because I felt ashamed and deep inside I thought I would have a chew again some day with them. Tonight same situation--however my good friend who still chews asked me if I quit. I opened up and told him about KTC and my entire quit experience, I could not stop talking about it I was actually proud to tell him my quit story and let him know what was out there for him if he was interested in quitting. Wow have things changed--I am stronger then ever in my quit. Thanks again for all the support KTC brothers

Good shit Robbie, I had a similar thing happen last night. Had a few beers with some buddys last night that I havent seen a while, both smokers. After about 1/2 pack smokes each they noticed that I wasnt dipping. They finally asked what was up and told them about my last 172 days. They were both blown away and curious about how they might do the same thing. I saw a huge ray of hope in their eyes. One guy in particular. I texted him KTC and WTP address this morning.

It is great to be quit.

It's really nice to have the ammunition that I have been given from this sight. I like seeing individuals eyes when I tell them they have an addiction, not a habit. It's like a big light bulb goes off. Everything someone can say i usually have the answer they don't want to hear, but need to hear. Sometimes people are receptive and sometimes not. I've already helped a couple and couple not so much. Sometimes it's planting seeds gentlemen.

One of the most important things we can do to help others,,, is not cave or ever give in to the poison ever again. That's a reason that I hate caving so much. Me caving or giving in would certainly affect many others. That's what everyone here must get and understand. To make a difference you have to succeed first. Us failing not only affects us, but others as well. Glad to be quit with each and everyone of yall. Keep on keepen on.

Hey guys robbie here for one last Feel Good Friday with the May2013 class

I am proud as hell to quit with everyone of you. You all helped me through some really tough days. The early fog, the attempts time after time for the nic bitch to creep back in. I overcame triggers and stayed strong with all of your help. Unfortunately I will not make it past day 1040 (no comma anymore), I write this to you with Skoal straight in my lip. My wife surprised me with a special lunch today by leaving me and not letting me see my 3 year old son and my old dog that only has a short time left. I no longer want to stay strong and stay quit. I am sorry for letting all my May bothers down.

Peace and strength to you all, you will always be in my thoughts.

Keep on Keepin on, on a not so feel good friday

robbie signing off on day 1040 :(

That Skoal make your wife come back, buy your dog more time, or change the shit storm that just fell on you in any way? Was it the cure all you thought it would be?

Don't thank us and then spit in our face by giving up with a lip full of shit.

You didn't learn a god damn thing here and everyone's efforts (including mine) were completely wasted on you.

I have a 10th of the quit going that robbie had and yes that was a long list of problems hitting all at once - it sounds awful and it is sad that anyone would have to go through shit like that. Adding the cave to that list doesn't make any sense to me at all. What on earth does nicotine do to help with any of those problems? :blink:

I wish i knew how to tag a thread for quick reference. This is one to look at when you think the bitch is whipped. 1040. WHAT THE FUCK. That is so far down the line, only a bullshit excuse fits. Guess what, look back at my posts...I'm going through a serious rough patch with my wife that may very well end in divorce soon. Yet, I came on here, vented, and was hammered with support. THATS THE KTC way, thus i could post 75 days today. Not this doucher.

You were a loyal poster and brother. I remember the day you caved like it was yesterday. I'm not going to say that I understand, because there is no excuse for caving, but brother I could read the pain in your words that day. I'm glad you've got a smart kid. You owe him, and yourself, this quit. You've got my number. Text me.

Welcome back brother. One day at a time....

You can always come back, but be ready to bare your soul and answer hard questions. The formula is easy, especially after 1000 days, what the fuck happened?

You've been around long enough to know...

One intro per individual.

Go with your original, warts and all, so that your previous stoppage and failure is a motivation all its own.

You can always come back here Robbie. The requirements are just 1) possible tongue-lashing from those of us who didn't cave, and 2) answer the three questions about what happened, why it happened, and most importantly - WHAT is your plan to avoid it happening again (ie, what will you do differently next time that same situation happens).

PS - The nic bitch had a deep hold on ALL of us, not just you. I dipped for almost 30 years, starting at age 15. Your quit isn't harder than anybody else's, thats just another lie she's telling you. Yes quitting is hard, but its very much doable. Thousands of us do it everyday.

If you're gonna quit, then lets do it. Commit to it, every single day for that day.

Robbie posted this cave admission a couple of nights ago to August 2017:

August brothers --I let the NIC Bitch win, thank you all for your support the past 200 days. I need to clear my head and work on some things...

Airborne told me a long time ago, I need to quit for myself. Very true - I did not make the changes needed for a successful quit. I did not reach out to any of my quit brothers for support, even though I have numerous phone numbers and text daily with a few of you. Like Gregor always told me, I need to want the quit more than the dip. Stay strong, Stay quit August is one bad ass quit group. I will be back when I am able to keep my promise and not waste your fucking time.

Be well and keep on keepin on

I don't know what to say about this. To stop for that long and start crazy. I know even at 240 days the nic bitch still calls to me. But I quit for me not my wife not my kids not my dog not the bad ass quitters on this site. My wife, kids, and this site helps me stay quit but I'm doing it for me cause if things get hard and they always will I need save my quit cause I'm the only one that has that power.

Hi brothers. I would like to request re entry and approval to join the current quit group.  My 2nd cave was quite some time ago.  I am ready to post day 1 tomorrow.  Can someone reply and fill me in on what requirements I need to fulfill, what group to join, this site has changed quite a bit since I was last here.  I think may 2011 and August 2016 were my two previous quit brothers.  Thank you

For sure want this in your intro... dunno Robbie, I want you to succeed but this sure doesn’t feel very passionate?  I hope I’m wrong: 


Robbie day 2 Nic Free.  Caved after 1040 days with May 2013. Caved after 200 days w August 2017. I let my quit brothers down and the Nic bitch win 2 times

I was Wrong and selfish to give in to the Nic bitch

I did not utilize my support network and allowed myself to be in a situation that I lost

I will use my quit network.  I am quitting because I want to quit not for anyone else.  I want the quit more then I want Nicotine

Are you really ready to quit or is this one of those times where you'll reach the HOF, cave and then come back with your tail between your legs???

Quitting may be the hardest thing you'll do.  There's no way around it.  The truth is that you can do it if you commit.  Just commit to one day.  Wake up, piss and post.  Then don't chew.  Suffer through the shit.  It will get microscopically better each day.  Reach out to your brothers.  Let me know if you want to exchange digits. I'm 46 days in and it still sucks, but no way in fucking hell I'm going to let my team down.  I'm also not going to throw away 46 days.  I'm banking and being grateful for each day quit.  I've stopped 100 times but never quit.  After 38 years of dipping, this is the only way I'm going to quit for good.  I hope this site stays alive forever.  Reach out if you need support.  Wolfe68

I just saw that you're a re-tread.  That sucks ass but if you follow through on what the vets have said and commit, then good.  If not, piss off.

Hey Wolfe, you might be a newbie here, but you look like a winner from your attitude.  This is very doable.... I chewed like a machine for about 25 years, if I can do it, anyone can.  Good replies on Robbie's thread.... if you need anything let me know.  I love quitting with winners.
