day one today

[chevytruck34]

Tbanks everyone for your harsh and honest criticism and encouragement both. I know I joined 4 years ago and I was doing good. Dont actually remember what happened or why I gave up. This time I have more reasons to quit. Mainly for myself but with my son being a big part of the reason also.
I appreciate all you guys and everything you went through to get this junk out of your body. Jan 4 rth is my quit date and im gonna do it. Hope I can lean on some here for encouragement and learn.
everyone have a great Christmas and ill be a proud non nicotine user like you all soon.

also did anyone have luck using the fake chew? How about welbutrin or Chianti?

Gonna quickly agree with everybody else, quit today! But ya I can speak to the Wellbutrin and Chantix question. I am now 128 days into my quit, my cold turkey, no medicine or fake stuff...just goold ol fashinioned determination and bags on bags of sunflower seeds.

The problems with the Wellbutrin and Chantix are that you're being shielded from your addiction. It's like being that kid that is getting beaten up by the Nic Bully every day, only to have your big cousin Chantix enroll at the school. Sure it's great that he's whooping up on Nicotine for 6 weeks and keeping you safe and sound, but once that script runs out, you feel naked and really unprepared for the fight that's about to come. I caved about 60 days into my Chantix quit, literally 4 or 5 days after I quit taking it.

Not to mention that those two drugs, I've done both, make you feel like shit because you're jacked up all the time and having violently vivid dreams. No wonder they cause seizures in some people.

It's absolutely essential to experience the "suck" of the quit. That's why I think it would be even better to just quit now. Treat it like a fight you want to have and not one you're pissing your pants about. Man up and take the fight to the Nic, not the other way around.

That may have been YOUR experience, but like WT said, it's different for everyone.

I got depressed as hell when I quit and had anxiety up the ass. I TRIED to embrace the sick but my body just could not handle it. If not for AD and AA meds, I would either be back on the can or dead. I honestly believe that.

Again, everyone is different so there should be no painting with a broad brush either way. Whatever it takes to stay quit...DO IT.

I have a feeling this Jabroni won't be back though.

Found your original intro from 2009.  Seemed like you were cruising nicely, even.said you were surprised how light the withdrawals were.  You were working out, shedding lbs, and feeling great.

This was your last post from March 12 2009, then literally you fell off the face of the earth.

" two weeks tommorow,  feels good.    Everyone stay strong and get the poison gone from our lives"

What happened????

What happened? He came in here with this narative...

"Could someone please explain to me what post roll is? I picked Jan 4ethics because al the stress of the holidays and family will be over. And I have 4 days off that weekend and i know the three days of hell when you first quit. I have a new 5 month old boy and landed a new job that ive been chasing for 6 years. I dont think doing it during the holidays would give me the best chances.

Sounds like you know how to post already because you have posted in the past. So, lets start fresh. Quit and be done with it. Or, just move along. Don't take a seat in the lifeboat if you are not serious about saving your life.

What the heck, this guy trying to play us for fools? We might have been addicted to chew at one time but we aren' total idiots.

Get your ass back in here and QUIT!!!!!!!

I could care less what you use to keep dip out of your mouth. I've used them all Wellbutrin, chantix and all the fake dips. Each one of us is different and have different needs. I didn't take Wellbutrin to help stop dipping I take it as an antidepressant, for me I'm a mess without it. Again do what you have to do to quit. LUCK has nothing to do with quitting!
As for waiting I'll add my BullShit to that also, I had a big plan 255 days ago and was working my way towards quitting when I found KTC, I'd had so many plans in the past untill I got serious and honest with myself and flushed the shit quitting was a problem for a later date that never had to be dealt with because the day could always be changed.
As for the distractions of the holidays and family; instead of using that as a crutch for not quitting turn it around and use it as a crutch to help motivate and remind you of why you want this (if you really do)! I quit for me! Sure I've got 2 great little grandkids that I want to see grow up and my wife suffers from MS and I want to be there for her but I'm a selfish bastard also, I want my freedom back! I've had my freedom for 254 days and I will have it today because I chose to make a promise early this morning to stay quit today! Making that daily promise is easy and if you have an ounce of self worth and integrity keeping that promise and staying quit for 1 day is easy!

Stress is apart of everyday life buddy, if you think for one second nicotine makes it better, you don't understand your addiction. Nicotine raises your blood pressure, thus raising your stress level. The relaxation feel when you put in that dip in is just your addiction getting its fix. What happens on Jan 7th when you get stressed from work? Gonna run back to the nic bitch?

Bruce's day 3 was thanksgiving last year, don't play no holiday stress bullshit to Bruce

To sum it up, nic doesn't cure shit, stop being a pussy and quit

[Diesel2112]

Could someone please explain to me what post roll is? I picked Jan 4ethics because al the stress of the holidays and family will be over. And I have 4 days off that weekend and i know the three days of hell when you first quit. I have a new 5 month old boy and landed a new job that ive been chasing for 6 years. I dont think doing it during the holidays would give me the best chances.

Sorry but I'm calling bs on this. What, all stress in your life ends on January 4th? Fucking LIFE is stress bro. You have a 5 month old and a new job...you think that combo alone won't cause some hellacious stress?

On Jan 4th you will probably find some other reason to put quitting off. "I got put on a big project at work", "My 5 month old is teething and keeping me up all night ", etc...

There's guys on here who quit as their loved ones fucking DIED. Don't tell me the stress of the holidays and family are too much. I ain't buying it. You wont be back in January. Ive heard this all before.

Grab your sack, flush your shit, and quit now. We are here for you.

Yes. I will. If you look here index.php?showforum=13 you will see how we work. We are quitters. All of us. We make it easy though. We ONLY quit 1 day at a time. We do that by posting roll every morning. That is a promise that we will not use today.

It so happens I quit 2 years ago today. I have posted roll every day and stayed clean. It works.

If you will choose to quit on my two year mark I will offer to be your quit Sherpa. Ball is in your court. Post up future friend.

I've used the fake and it helped me when I almost couldn't take anything - it helped me get through some tough days, I don't know scowick but he's put in some time and always posts good stuff - if he's offered to be a quit buddy - take the man up!! pm me with questions or for my number -it's yours for the asking.

Those sound like good excuses to not quit today. And I bet if you wait until January 4, you find some more excuses. I did. My furnace died that day and I was secretly happy, gave me a great ex use. It's hard but you can do it. Today. Now.

I quit almost 2 years ago and still use the fake stuff. But it's different. No chemical addiction. After a while you won't freak out if you leave home without any. You can go weeks without it. I'm a big fan. Others aren't. My vote is do whatever you need to at first to break the nic cycle.
