Title: I am ready..
Post by: FISHFLORIDA on November 13, 2018, 03:58:02 PM
1:51 PM - May 26, 2016 #1  This was my first post on KTC.

     My name is Dave and I have been chewing some form of tobacco for the better part of 30 yrs. It seems surreal to actually write that because I don't think of myself as a dipper. It started in a rural town where all the cool older kids did it. I was hooked. I managed to quit for a couple of years in 95 but on a drive up to Atlanta to the summer Olympics, I caved in. That was 20 yrs ago. My girlfriend doesn't really know how addicted I am because I've downplayed it, probably just kidding myself.
     I'm into my 3rd day dip free and I'm still committed and still clean. I have thought about choking everyone around me, but decided jail is not a good option. Every time I want a dip, I chug a water. My biggest fear is getting on my flats boat without a chew. I don't think I've ever done it before. I know some people say to avoid having a drink but I don't drink. It's the boat that's the catalyst.
     Anyway, here goes! Day 3. I quit for my Grandfather. Someone tell me I'll be happier without it please.

 Dave

Well, here it is. Day 42. For the newbs reading this...it does get better, if only slightly. My jaw has stopped hurting, I don't lie to friends and family to sneak away, my teeth are a hell of a lot whiter.

 One of the things I'd like to say to all the newbs reading this who are thinking about joining KTC is: don't try and change what works. I get questioning it, but keep it to yourself until you actually realize that this method works. Let me give you an example... If you are dating a blonde but you love redheads, and all you do is bitch to the blonde that you should be with a redhead... Leave the blonde. You don't need to bitch and moan.

 I wake up in the morning, I rub my eyes, scratch my peaches, fill the bowl and post roll. I post roll during the time I used to pack a chew. So if you say, " oh, I'll post later.." Where's the commitment to yourself?
 Another thing that I am a firm believer in is making that promise to my August brothers. "I promise I will not use nicotine today". How hard is that? I believe for some people it is very hard. I remember the first time I posted that and I thought, holy shinola... I can't dip today because I just promised a shitload of guys I wouldn't. I make that promise every day. Now, I know some people believe that just posting your name and the number of days is good and I won't argue with them. It doesn't work for me. I need to make that promise to stay clean. I need to physically write it down so my warped nic addicted brain is on the same page as my lip.

 At 42 days, I'm 100% roll posted and every day is before 10am. I am not tooting my horn. I have to do this or I will be a statistic on the wrong side. I am an addict and a thousand triggers a day remind me of that fact.

 If it wasn't for KTC and the August group (and all the supporters) I'd be dancing with nic still. I pray I'll be writing an HOF speech and supporting future groups. Thanks guys and a few baq girls!

 Happy Fourth

We'll everyone, here I am at day 148. 100% posted. My quit is strong and I know that everyday is a battle. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about Nicotine. I still find myself reaching for my pocket, putting my hand on the truck doorside under the handle. Really unbelievable that nic still has influence on me. I live ODAAT and by keeping my daily promise to my brothers, I know I am stronger and will not cave that day. I am not immune. I am human and my body ingested poison for years. I am only now training my body and mind how to deal with the absence of that poison.
 My quit has become my new best friend and I nurture it and talk to it like a best friend. I treat it right, I play with it (sending memes of quitting) I encourage it and I bring it out to show to others. I love my new friend Quit. It's kinda like an imaginary friend but when a crave comes, I know it's not imaginary. It's like my quit is playing a game of hide and seek with Nic in the woods. I'm creeping along, that nervous gut feeling that I could get tagged or chased, but if I do get tagged I laugh it off and go hide a again, this time learning where Nic likes to hide and find me.
 It's amazing how much I'll actually talk to myself out loud about my quit. How many times I pass the C store and yell "Fock You!" as I go by. I keep this entire quitting as a game. Some might yell and scream, "This is no game!! This is serious shite!". No doubt it is but I will tell you this, If you hate quitting you will stop quitting. No one continues to do something they hate to do. That is why quitting dip is hard...because you loved it. If you enjoy quitting just as much, it is something you will look forward to doing every day. I look forward to it. I enjoy quitting! Sure, sometimes the cravings suck out loud, but I turn that into something fun. Today I have a huge aerospace audit. I walked right down the middle of my plant and sang ELO Hold On tight To Your Dreams for my employees like an idiot as loud as I could. Some of them yelled at me to stop, others joined in, others just shook their heads. I find the greatest meme pictures and send them to my list of quitter friends (I can tell the ones who enjoy their quit). You always hear vets talking about embracing the suck. Take it one step further and turn it into something enjoyable. This, my fellow BAQ, will help your quit, put a smile on your face, and at the end of the day you will be a hellova' lot more fun to be around.

Today marks 1000 days clean of nicotine.  For those of you reading this that are new to KTC, let me lead by example.  Do as I did.  Drink the koolaide.  Exchange digits and post roll every day.  I have posted roll for 1000 days straight.  It is not a burden nor is it a chore... it is a honor and a privilege to be counted present among this many people that care so deeply for my wellbeing and my quit. 
If ANYONE needs another set of digits to be held accountable, just pm me and mine will be returned via text.   Thanks to everyone here.

Huge accomplishment and something to strive for. Thanks for being a part of my daily quit and showing that small wins add up in big ways when left to grow.

Hell yes man, if I can quit this crap you can too. (35+ years for me)
By your quit date it looks like you'll be in the August 2016 group.
Check the link and start posting your promise. Theres a lot of power in that daily promise to quit and overcome this addiction.

Dave, first and foremost is great that you are quitting. The way it works here is that you have to quit for yourself first. It's admirable that you mentioned your Grandfather, but you have to quit for you first. With that, the next step for you is to join the Aug quit group since you quit on Aug 23rd. Once you locate that group post roll per the instructions. We post roll every day, early in the day. It's our commitment to ourselves and the group that we are quit for the day. Then we do this everyday.

Go Post Roll! Welcome to KTC. Great decision on your part to quit. Make it for you! I am here to quit with ya!

Welcome fishflorida! Believe me when I say that I know how you feel. I tot chewed for 35 years. You will soon witness the full power of KTC and the brothers you will meet. I sent you a pm with my did gets as soon as I saw you joined our August group. Use it my friend whenever you feel the need. I quit with you!

Another 30 year veteran of stupidity here... picked it up playing sports from some of the older kids when I was 12 and never looked back. I am sure like the rest of us you've stopped a thousand times before determined to be quit... and then bought a new can the next morning. There's a difference now though, this site works. Brotherhood + accountability = success. All you have to do is post your promise and then have enough integrity to stick to your word for 24 hours. That's all there is to it. Check your PM for my info. If you need someone to talk you down or bitch to or celebrate a big win, we're here with you.

ETA: Yes it does eventually get better. For now embrace the suck and remember how bad it is. It's one more reason never to post another day 1. Mean time, drink lots and lots of water to help with headaches and toxin flush, exercise or walking will help with the anxiety and if you are on any blood pressure meds, watch your blood pressure over the next few weeks as Nicotine really inflates your numbers.

Welcome Dave! It does get oh so much better but it's gonna take a while. Remember 30 plus years of dipping is going to take a while to feel normal. I dipped 38 years also started when I was 12. Hell if you're like me it will take awhile to figure out what normal is, matter of fact was so young I'm just now figuring out what normal is and I love it! Be the man! Own your quit! This shits not easy, dipping was easy. You can damn sure do this! Post early EDD! ODAAT! Quit on!

^^ Dude is absolutely correct. For yourself. Others can be encouragement and reap the benefits of you being clean and sober, but it cannot be for them. One day at a time. No more. One second at a time is acceptable and at times needed. We are not promised tomorrow so we don't promise tomorrow. Daily roll, make that promise. It gets tons better. Drink plenty of water. Just till your teeth are swimming. Go piss, drink more water. It will help with The Suck. Jaw pain and tooth pain is expected whilst quitting and oft times way past the 30 days. If you can afford to go to the dentist go. Be honest with the dentist. Develop a plan of treatment for anything and follow through. Use the network here. Your want. Your desire. Your quit.

Just a couple of hours and I'm through a full week of clean! My teeth tingle and I slap my tin pocket 100 times and day looking for the bitch that lived there for 30+ years!
This brotherhood of quitters is beyond my imagination.
Thanks to everyone. I am the last person in the August group to join so I'll be forever playing catchup with the rest in the group. My only prayer is that I am always quit behind them. The day I pass one of you is the day u failed and that is not an option.

On day 8, I am strong. I know all of the physical symptoms are what everyone experiences but they scare the heck outta me. I wish I could go back 31 yrs ago and never take that first chew. Because I know that I can't go back, I can be strong and not chew. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while at the same time expecting different results. I could never quit by myself. I quit with august and will not let any of you down.

Well, last night was the first night in 10 days that I didn't wake up at some ungodly insane hour of the night in a nic fit. I am thankful and grateful for all of the support from August and past HOFers. I am on day 10 and going strong. The thought of a dip or chew actually makes me nauseous right now. I am not complacent, but am happy about how I feel physically.

Anyway, here goes! Day 3. I quit for my Grandfather. Someone tell me I'll be happier without it please.

Dave
Dave, first and foremost is great that you are quitting. The way it works here is that you have to quit for yourself first. It's admirable that you mentioned your Grandfather, but you have to quit for you first. With that, the next step for you is to join the Aug quit group since you quit on Aug 23rd. Once you locate that group post roll per the instructions. We post roll every day, early in the day. It's our commitment to ourselves and the group that we are quit for the day. Then we do this everyday.

Go Post Roll! Welcome to KTC. Great decision on your part to quit. Make it for you! I am here to quit with ya!
My Grandfather died of esophageal cancer from tobacco. It haunts me.
You're going to be much, much happier.
All the crap your experiencing, temporary, but it should be there,in the back out your mind every damn day, even into your 100's, 1,000's...a huge reminder where you came from, so you'll never go back.
I've seen you around a lot, that what it takes, stay connected and you'll be successful.

My name is Dave and I have been chewing some form of tobacco for the better part of 30 yrs. It seems surreal to actually write that because I don't think of myself as a dipper. It started in a rural town where all the cool older kids did it. I was hooked. I managed to quite for a couple of years in 95 but on a drive up to Atlanta to the summer Olympics, I caved in. That was 20 yrs ago. My girlfriend doesn't really know how addicted I am because I've downplayed it, probably just kidding myself.
I'm into my 3rd day dip free and I'm still committed and still clean. I have thought about choking everyone around me, but decided jail is not a good option. Every time I want a dip, I chug a water. My biggest fear is getting on my flats boat without a chew. I don't think I've ever done it before. I know some people say to avoid having a drink but I don't drink. It's the boat that's the catalyst.

Dave - Congratulations on your decision to knock this horrible addiction out of your life. Fight for this every day and get through it one day at a time - no looking back. Do not romanticize the time you had with this shit in the past, it was trying to kill you. That's your boat and it no longer carries passengers trying to kill you. Leave your old fishing buddy behind and experience some amazing time on the water with yourself, without poison running through your veins. You'll feel empowered and free. Make sure you go on your boat and clear it out, get rid of any old cans and dump them out immediately. You don't want to be out on the water and come across a can and capsize your quit. Make sure you are quitting for you first! You got this. It will be hard but you will not regret this decision.

YOU WILL BE INFINITELY HAPPIER WITHOUT IT!

Chickdip,
Being active on the KTC is a big part of keeping myself in check. I like to read what other people are going through, been through and do. I helps me realize that absolutely everything that has to do with NIC is all the same between us. I appreciate your support and see the support you give others. We all only go around once... Let's make it Nic free.

I can't emphasize what Chick said enough. If you dive into this place headfirst and really go for it, this will be your quit. A half-assed attempt is almost certain to result in failure. It's hard enough when you're 100% committed, so anything less than 100% is risky. You're doing it the right way Fish. Keep it up.

I'm going into day 17. Day 17.... I honestly can't believe it. I'm probably not saying anything everyone on this site hasn't felt about their own I quit, but I had to say it about mine. I was a die-hard chaw-chewin' troubadour. Everything (almost everything) I did, I did with nic. I talked early on in my intro about my big association being the boat and fishing. I was wrong. It turns out breathing is my association!!!! Everything I do was always done with nic and it always feels like a void!!!! It is getting better, but that little bitch is always tapping at my temple. As soon as it does, I turn the table do something that pushes her to the recesses of my brain.
The most awful association turns out to be my bed. Your bed you say? Yup. Every night I would put a fresh wad-o-weed muck in my pie hole and read. It was great. I have to actually fall asleep on the couch first. At some point I wake up and crawl into bed.
For those of this reading who are thinking about quitting, I'm here to tell you that there is absolutely no way I could have done it on my own.. Say it out loud..ADDICT. The August group has pulled me out of the hole that nic dug for me over the last 30 years. I'm a grown man texting other grown men like my teenage daughter does her friends. She needs the constant social media reassurance for self esteem. I need a bunch of guys (and girls CD!) to keep my nic starved veins from forcing my body into sliding my F250 sideways into the convenient store parking lot and fumbling through my pockets like a junkie for crumpled up singles.
I have and will not miss roll call. I will not go back to nic ever. Thanks August and everyone else who keeps up the encouragement and positive reinforcement. I am slowly but surely taking my life back.

Well, here it is. Day 42. For the newbs reading this...it does get better, if only slightly. My jaw has stopped hurting, I don't lie to friends and family to sneak away, my teeth are a hell of a lot whiter.

One of the things I'd like to say to all the newbs reading this who are thinking about joining KTC is: don't try and change what works. I get questioning it, but keep it to yourself until you actually realize that this method works. Let me give you an example... If you are dating a blonde but you love redheads, and all you do is bitch to the blonde that you should be with a redhead... Leave the blonde. You don't need to bitch and moan.

I wake up in the morning, I rub my eyes, scratch my peaches, fill the bowl and post roll. I post roll during the time I used to pack a chew. So if you say, " oh, I'll post later.." Where's the commitment to yourself?
Another thing that I am a firm believer in is making that promise to my August brothers. "I promise I will not use nicotine today". How hard is that? I believe for some people it is very hard. I remember the first time I posted that and I thought, holy shinola... I can't dip today because I just promised a shitload of guys I wouldn't. I make that promise every day. Now, I know some people believe that just posting your name and the number of days is good and I won't argue with them. It doesn't work for me. I need to make that promise to stay clean. I need to physically write it down so my warped nic addicted brain is on the same page as my lip.

At 42 days, I'm 100% roll posted and every day is before 10am. I am not tooting my horn. I have to do this or I will be a statistic on the wrong side. I am an addict and a thousand triggers a day remind me of that fact.

If it wasn't for KTC and the August group (and all the supporters) I'd be dancing with nic still. I pray I'll be writing an HOF speech and supporting future groups. Thanks guys and a few baq girls!

Happy Fourth

Today was day 50 for me.. It was also the day that I got to review the CTscan with the Doctor. I have been having crazy headaches for the last 3 months and the fact that I had chewed cancer causing shit for 32 years did not ease my mind. The good news was there was no cancer or any real funny business. But, I will tell everyone this.... The week between the test and getting the results was enough to just about give me a nervous breakdown.
A few guys in my August group new about what was going on and you know who you are. Thanks for the support. This site has been a refuge for me during a few of those anxiety filled evenings.
I never want to go through that again. Never.
I look back at the years of stupidity. For what? To live in fear that I could die of cancer? Oh how I wish I had this site years ago. The darkest hour is always right before dawn. I'm looking forward to a good nights sleep.

Way to go on the HOF my fishy brother! You've been hugely inspirational to me and many others and you brought a great attitude and atmosphere to the table.

You need to get out and celebrate on the skiff formerly known as the "Chew Canoe" as soon as the weather clears up. Have you renamed the boat yet btw? The Quitanic, The Seed Covered Schooner, The Twat Yacht?

Keep it up man, see you at 200!

We'll everyone, here I am at day 148. 100% posted. My quit is strong and I know that everyday is a battle. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about Nicotine. I still find myself reaching for my pocket, putting my hand on the truck doorside under the handle. Really unbelievable that nic still has influence on me. I live ODAAT and by keeping my daily promise to my brothers, I know I am stronger and will not cave that day. I am not immune. I am human and my body ingested poison for years. I am only now training my body and mind how to deal with the absence of that poison.
My quit has become my new best friend and I nurture it and talk to it like a best friend. I treat it right, I play with it (sending memes of quitting) I encourage it and I bring it out to show to others. I love my new friend Quit. It's kinda like an imaginary friend but when a crave comes, I know it's not imaginary. It's like my quit is playing a game of hide and seek with Nic in the woods. I'm creeping along, that nervous gut feeling that I could get tagged or chased, but if I do get tagged I laugh it off and go hide a again, this time learning where Nic likes to hide and find me.
It's amazing how much I'll actually talk to myself out loud about my quit. How many times I pass the C store and yell "Fock You!" as I go by. I keep this entire quitting as a game. Some might yell and scream, "This is no game!! This is serious shite!". No doubt it is but I will tell you this, If you hate quitting you will stop quitting. No one continues to do something they hate to do. That is why quitting dip is hard...because you loved it. If you enjoy quitting just as much, it is something you will look forward to doing every day. I look forward to it. I enjoy quitting! Sure, sometimes the cravings suck out loud, but I turn that into something fun. Today I have a huge aerospace audit. I walked right down the middle of my plant and sang ELO Hold On tight To Your Dreams for my employees like an idiot as loud as I could. Some of them yelled at me to stop, others joined in, others just shook their heads. I find the greatest meme pictures and send them to my list of quitter friends (I can tell the ones who enjoy their quit). You always hear vets talking about embracing the suck. Take it one step further and turn it into something enjoyable. This, my fellow BAQ, will help your quit, put a smile on your face, and at the end of the day you will be a hellova' lot more fun to be around.

Wow...thanks for taking the time and writing that....

I agree 100% FF. You have to love your quit to stay quit...

I control how I react to situations. When the shit hits the fan...You can either smile and move on or bitch about it. I like to hang with the smile crew. ;)

I'm glad you are here helping out and giving back. Thanks!

Quote from: FISHFLORIDA
We'll everyone, here I am at day 148. 100% posted. My quit is strong and I know that everyday is a battle. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about Nicotine. I still find myself reaching for my pocket, putting my hand on the truck doorside under the handle. Really unbelievable that nic still has influence on me. I live ODAAT and by keeping my daily promise to my brothers, I know I am stronger and will not cave that day. I am not immune. I am human and my body ingested poison for years. I am only now training my body and mind how to deal with the absence of that poison.
My quit has become my new best friend and I nurture it and talk to it like a best friend. I treat it right, I play with it (sending memes of quitting) I encourage it and I bring it out to show to others. I love my new friend Quit. It's kinda like an imaginary friend but when a crave comes, I know it's not imaginary. It's like my quit is playing a game of hide and seek with Nic in the woods. I'm creeping along, that nervous gut feeling that I could get tagged or chased, but if I do get tagged I laugh it off and go hide a again, this time learning where Nic likes to hide and find me.
It's amazing how much I'll actually talk to myself out loud about my quit. How many times I pass the C store and yell "Fock You!" as I go by. I keep this entire quitting as a game. Some might yell and scream, "This is no game!! This is serious shite!". No doubt it is but I will tell you this, If you hate quitting you will stop quitting. No one continues to do something they hate to do. That is why quitting dip is hard...because you loved it. If you enjoy quitting just as much, it is something you will look forward to doing every day. I look forward to it. I enjoy quitting! Sure, sometimes the cravings suck out loud, but I turn that into something fun. Today I have a huge aerospace audit. I walked right down the middle of my plant and sang ELO Hold On tight To Your Dreams for my employees like an idiot as loud as I could. Some of them yelled at me to stop, others joined in, others just shook their heads. I find the greatest meme pictures and send them to my list of quitter friends (I can tell the ones who enjoy their quit). You always hear vets talking about embracing the suck. Take it one step further and turn it into something enjoyable. This, my fellow BAQ, will help your quit, put a smile on your face, and at the end of the day you will be a hellova' lot more fun to be around.

I gotta say I'm a fan of yours! Nice quit!
I appreciate that one ^^^. Proud to be quit with every one of you. Couldn't have done it without you. You have all been an inspiration in your own way and I have taken away something from every one of you. It's great to celebrate these milestones and NEVER will I forget that they are only bricks in a much larger wall of quit.

Thanks for listening on fishing trigger today and digits. It helps to just get the monster out in the open.

I'm wearing two sets of underwear by communicating about my quit and irrational fears....my quit is strong because of KTC and you guys, failure is a choice....tight lines, I'll send you some pix when we start slaying the bass up here in New England on the next few days.

Two hundred and thirty some days ago I wandered into KTC in a foggy mess having already been quit on my own for a few days, looking for a better way to quit. I somehow managed to post an intro, and you were the first to reply...

You stuck with me even though I was part of the train wreck.

You STILL won't let me stop texting you.

I'm not just here to say congratulations for completing your second consecutive nic free lap around that giant ball of fire. I'm here to say thank you. If I didn't think it'd be annoying as fuck I'd say it 238 times (ok, maybe it's more because it's too time consuming).

I want you to know that I appreciate everything you've done for me. I wouldn't be here still without amazing people such as yourself kicking me in the ass when I need it.

Thank you (x238)

Steve

It's been a while since I've written in my intro.  Figured today is a good day for it.  I'm busy as all hell but I feel It's time for a bit of reflection.
Today marks 1600 days of freedom from nicotine.  Out of all the things I've learned here, the main thing, and most important for me that i must never forget (aside from being an addict) is that there is no way I could'a quit or stayed quit on my own.  For years, I thought it would one day be possible.  It took KTC to make me a believer.  It took a team of thousands of bad ass guys and gals to pull me up.

There are all kinds here on KTC.  One person's nemesis is another's reason to stay quit.  One quitter's man crush (  @JohnSmallberries (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=43) ) is another's lost love. 
I keep watching all of the Eddie Van Halen stuff.  Like a good number of you, he was a rock n roll God growing up, immortal.  My blood turned to ice hearing the news of him dying of mouth/esophageal cancer.  I pray for myself and everyone of us that we never suffer that fate.  God willing, if we do, it serves as an example and someone out there makes a choice to either never pick up tobacco or quit right then and there.

If there is anyone reading this that is a newb and thinking about quitting, take my lead and jump right in.  Post a day one and get your life back.  I have posted my promise without fail for 1600 days in a row and I am a testament that by doing that 5 min process, being quit is the only possible outcome.

Thanks for everyone here who has been a part of my quit.  There are many of you out there that don't even realize what a big part of it you were.

Keep up the quit and If anyone ever needs digits for accountability, just PM me.

I keep watching all of the Eddie Van Halen stuff.  Like a good number of you, he was a rock n roll God growing up, immortal.  My blood turned to ice hearing the news of him dying of mouth/esophageal cancer.  I pray for myself and everyone of us that we never suffer that fate.  God willing, if we do, it serves as an example and someone out there makes a choice to either never pick up tobacco or quit right then and there.

If there is anyone reading this that is a newb and thinking about quitting, take my lead and jump right in.  Post a day one and get your life back.  I have posted my promise without fail for 1600 days in a row and I am a testament that by doing that 5 min process, being quit is the only possible outcome.

Thanks for everyone here who has been a part of my quit.  There are many of you out there that don't even realize what a big part of it you were.

Keep up the quit and If anyone ever needs digits for accountability, just PM me.

It's been a while since I've written in my intro.  Figured today is a good day for it.  I'm busy as all hell but I feel It's time for a bit of reflection.

Always the real deal Fish.
The quit is strong with you and is measured by how many you help and who you allowed to help you.

Make that promise to not use nicotine today.  Post a day 1. 
I will quit side by side with you.  Day 1821 and still doing it one day at a time.  It takes a team to get through this and the “A” team is right here in these forums.
Get your life back.  It’s been stolen by a dead plant in a can.

So true.  If you are reading this quit now!  How many more days are you planning to roll the dice and hope that the dip in your mouth isn't going to be the one that finally kills you?
