Hey guys, I hit 200 days quit yesterday and I realized I never formally introduced myself. My name is Tyler. I am 24 years old and I used nicotine for 10 years. Quitting is the best decision I have ever made in my life. I also wanted a place to record my thoughts on my quit going forward. I know it has helped many of my brothers. Stay quit everyone. Never again for any reason.

Troy Smith (http://ak.buy.com/PI/0/500/223232078.jpg) was pretty awesome when he was at THE Ohio University. Better than that trouble maker Terrelle Pryor. I am normally a Iowa Hawkeye fan, but I always root for the Big Ten.
Crazy story: There was a guy named Tyler Smith that played for my Iowa Hawkeyes Basektball team. He was always my nemesis, for obvious reasons. He prevented me from being the most famous, "Tyler Smith."
Here he is after he transferred to Tennessee: Tyler Smith (http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&sa=N&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=1366&bih=598&tbm=isch&tbnid=_fm05KadbjSAtM:&imgrefurl=http://deadspin.com/5438840/four-vols-basketball-players-arrested-by-police-suspended-by-frequently%2Bshirtless-coach&docid=xzgf0sJkKXYy-M&imgurl=http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/11/2010/01/smith.jpg&w=721&h=480&ei=TddKT-nEEMf7gge5xeX_DQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=949&vpy=302&dur=2968&hovh=183&hovw=275&tx=168&ty=145&sig=115649547891949720336&page=1&tbnh=115&tbnw=153&start=0&ndsp=27&ved=1t:429,r:25,s:0)
Whatever, it doesn't even bother me anymore...... ;)

I wrote the following at a rough time in my quit. I think I was about 116 days quit at the time and possibly in a bit of a funk. My girlfriend was out of town for the weekend visiting her parents. I was all by myself. Instead of running to a corner store, I stuck close to this site and wrote down my frustrations. I wrote them at around 3 or 4 a.m. I was still dealing with insomnia at the time and it was not helping my quit. I have had this saved on my computer for almost 89 days. I didn't reread it until just know. It isn't finished but maybe it could be helpful to others here. I know I will look back at it from time to time to help me deal with upcoming difficult times in my quit. Alright, stay quit everyone. Never Again for Any Reason!
Here is what I wrote on December 03, 2011:
Does anybody else feel like a piece of trash for what they have done to friends and family while were using chewing tobacco? I think about it sometimes. A lot lately. Maybe I am in a little funk. It is kind of pathetic to think about how I used to be a slave to such a stupid thing. More often early in my quit, but less now I have a hard time believing that I am quit. I thought for so long, “Well, this is just something that will always be a part of my life.” But now that has changed. I do not need it. I don’t want it.
I may just be ranting and raving a bit but I have been trying harder and harder to remember those first few days. I would like to try and write them down if thatÂ’s cool with you guys.
I remember my last can of chew. I remember it well. I was on the end of the dock down by the lake. I had been fishing and decided on one last pouch before I shut the door on nicotine. I remember it wasnÂ’t even that good. In some idiotic way, I felt like I had to have one last one. Anyway, it sucked. I took it out and threw it in the lake. I then took the rest of a rather new tin and dumped it out into the lake off the end of the dock. I still remember what those little cancer pouches looked like when they were slowing sinking in the water.
Fishing and chewing go way back for me. Back then, you couldnÂ’t go fishing without a tin. I remember one really early morning, a few years back, I was living alone on a lake here in Iowa. I got a call from my buddy at 5 A.M. and two minutes later a call from my mom. Two of my real good friends got into a car accident. My one friend had been burned badly, but was going to live, probably. My other buddy was killed immediately and pronounced dead on the scene. I remember lying in bed just stunned. It was early and I knew I couldnÂ’t go back to sleep. I grabbed my rods; tackle box and my tin to go have a chew down on the dock and think about life. It was all I could do at that moment. All morning I got more and more texts or calls telling me what I already knew. I should probably mention that they were on the way to go fishing off my dock that morning. I donÂ’t ever want to feel that way again. The mere fact that I felt I needed to have a chew to deal with that situation makes me sad. I didnÂ’t need it to deal with my friendÂ’s death. I thought I did, but I did not. It was the nicotine. That horrible bitch nicotine. SheÂ’ll tell you that it will make it easier. It wonÂ’t be as hard. ItÂ’s all bullshit lies. Fuck that shit! I hate the thought of being a slave to that shit for so long and through some of the most difficult moments of my life.
But I was fed up. I closed the door. I knew it would be hard even before finding this site. I knew it would be hard because nothing worth having in this world ever comes easy. You have to put up with a lot of stress, anguish, and bullshit to get what you want. If it was easy to quit nicotine, then everybody would do it. ITÂ’S NOT EASY! We all need help!
Then I found this site. It changed my life. It really did. ItÂ’s hard to put yourself out there and engage with other quitters when you are at a very low point in your life. The first few days were a low point in mine. I remember exactly what I had to do on my second day quit. I had to check and set snapping turtle traps all over the county. Literally the day before, I was doing this by myself with a chew in. It is tough work. Those snapping turtles are mean sons of bitches. Anyway, that second day was filled with headaches, fatigue and sunflower seeds. I went through a whole bag in a few hours. My mouth tasted like salted shit after that day was finished. We did the same thing for the next 3 days in a row. We caught some nice turtles too. I got through my first five days without this site, by keepin' the fuck busy trapping turtles and eating seeds. It sucked real bad. I do not want to go through it again.

Day 211.
Crazy stressed out with school and my car. Chevrolet has something called a Pass Lock security system on some of models of their cars. Guess who owns one of those models? This guy! The bottom line is that my car will not start. I have a tow coming in the morning to pick it up and take it to my mechanic. I have read online that a dealer would probably charge me upwards of $600, but my guy has dealt with this Pass Lock b.s. before. He will be much cheaper and the problem will be fixed, but in the meantime I am without my car. Not much fun and such a joke.
I also have assignments for a college class that I hate. I actually enjoy most of my classes because they are about subjects that I care about, but this class blows. The teacher is so anal about every little thing. It is enough to drive you crazy.
Anyway, I gotta deal with these things one at a time. A year ago, I would have been rushing to the can to deal with all this noise. Not anymore. I know that nicotine will not make my problems go away. It actually makes me mad that I used to think that I need that cancer shit to live my life. Not anymore. I will never be a slave to nicotine again. I am so much stronger than a fucking chemical.
Thanks to all of you that support me by keeping their promise to stay quit every day. It is through this accountability that I know I will stay quit. I would never dream of letting my brothers down. Just writing all this down has helped quite a bit. Just gotta get these frustrations out of my system. Thanks guys and stay the fuck quit.

I drive a 2001 Chevy Malibu and spent over $1500 dealing with that pass lock shit. Four tows over a three year period, replaced the anti-theft system, multiple computer re-sets... Don't know if your car is anything like mine, but I was told by three different mechanics that the pass lock is malfunctioning/activating because the computer doesn't recognize the key in the ignition and believes someone is trying to steal the car (because most thiefs steal a car by startying it with the wrong key ????). Anyway, after the fourth mechanic told me "we couldn't figure it out so we just re-set the computer again," I finally asked, "how are you resetting the computer." When he told me I almost killed him right there on the spot. I had wasted $1500 for a fix I could've done myself (and have done myself twice since as the pass lock still randomly activates). Here's how to re-set your computer, it is annoying but it beats paying for a tow for a mechanic to essentially do this exact same thing:
Set the ignition to the "on" position for ten minutes, or until the theft system light stops blinking. Then turn the ignition to the "off" position for five seconds.
The mechanic told me you have to do this three times before the computer resets, thus allowing allowing the car to start, but mine has always started after the first time. Good luck! God I hate my Malibu...

Thanks for you concern brother. I drive an 2003 Monte Carlo. I read about the passlock relearning procedure about a thousand times online. I think I tried it about 10,000 times. Got it to my mechanic, looks like it is a bad starter. Got the part coming this weekend. It wasn't the pass lock after all.
Seriously though, I appreciate the help. I have had too many problems with this stupid car. It might be getting time to send it down the road.

Day 218
Time to add another list to things of things I have now done without a dip in. I put my family's boat/fishing dock today. Have been doing it for about 5 years now. This is the first year without using tobacco. It is still such a bitch to do. In water up to my chest that was covered in ice last week. Each pole supporting every dock section needed to be leveled and tightened with a wrench. It is a very tedious process. Set posts, tighten bolts, check with level, adjust, and repeat as needed. It took forever. It also didn't help that the chest waders I was using are shit. I had a soaking wet, freezing cold left foot. I also had water go over my waders putting in the farthest two posts. Damn that was cold. Had a pack of extra gum and was able to get through it just fine. Not looking forward to taking it back out in the fall. Stay quit brothers.

Thanks for the support guys. It was definitely one of many small victories that have been happening. I find myself looking forward to all the things I have yet to do without a dip in. Dchogs, I have been out twice this year on the open water. I have only caught 3 fish so far, but two of them were keeper walleyes. Not too bad so far. I might have to go fishing later today if it is going to keep being so nice out. I knew there was a reason I put that stupid dock in. :D

Tsmith17 - Day 600 - Like a Boss.
Thanks for all the support brothers. I plan on being here for a very long time to come. Some conversation with other quit brothers this week reminded just how important it is to help each other out. Every little bit helps. I can't tell you how good it makes me feel receiving a PM from someone checking in on me, offering me encouragement if I am struggling, or congratulations when I am reaching a milestone. I would say that it re-energizes my quit tenfold. Be sure to take the time to pass that feeling on and offer support for any of your brothers here, whether they are on day 2, 200, or 2,000. I am positive it will help them. Thanks again brothers and see you on roll.

I find it to be incredibly amazing how far I have come in my quit. I am currently on day 672. Day one feels like a lifetime ago. I don't even think of dip at all anymore expect when I am talking to someone with a dip in their mouth in front or me, or when I literally look up at some Corner store and see the rows of cancer cans. I had a bit of epiphany the other day. I really don't think about dipping AT ALL anymore, and that is precisely what I am worried about. I am in this for the long haul and I have read different posts about people being much further along than I am, in terms of days quit, that have been lulled into a false state of invincibility, so to speak, and have the nic bitch bring them back in to her death grip. It all starts with forgetting to post roll once , then twice, then maybe not on the weekends. Then, it's only every other day, then hardly at all. There was something one of the vets on this site said about how fragile our quits all are. I think it was Chewie who said, "We are all one trip to the corner store and a five dollar bill away from becoming a can a day slave to the nic bitch at any moment." Stuff like that really freaks me out sometimes. I know my quit is strong, but I also know that it could be easily broken from complacency or in a moment of deep desperation or emotional turmoil. I know a quitter on here that has gone through horrible things in his life and he continues to deal with such hardships, but he has stayed quit no matter what. Such commitment to staying quit and his respect for his fellow quitters is awe inspiring. So, no, right now I don't think about dip at all, but I also know that none of us are immune to hard times in our life. I know that during those dark times I will need my quit brothers and sisters more than ever. I need this place. I need it to remind me have far I have come not just in my quit but in my growth as a man. I need this site to remind what I once was. I need to this site to find support and receive support from my many like minded brothers. This site has helped me more than I can even put into words. This site has empowered me to become the man I have always know that I could be. Being able to quit helps much more than you health. It helps every aspect of your life. Personally, my self confidence increased greatly since joining KTC. I am also not nearly as negative as I have been in the past. I now realize that you only get one life and it is best to make the most out of it. My whole outlook has been affected. I know that this could not have been possibly without every single quitter that has reached out and helped me in some way or another. So I just want to say thank you to everyone that has helped to change my life, my WHOLE life, for the better. If any of you need help yourself, just say the word. I love you guys.

I find it to be incredibly amazing how far I have come in my quit. I am currently on day 672. Day one feels like a lifetime ago. I don't even think of dip at all anymore expect when I am talking to someone with a dip in their mouth in front or me, or when I literally look up at some Corner store and see the rows of cancer cans. I had a bit of epiphany the other day. I really don't think about dipping AT ALL anymore, and that is precisely what I am worried about. I am in this for the long haul and I have read different posts about people being much further along than I am, in terms of days quit, that have been lulled into a false state of invincibility, so to speak, and have the nic bitch bring them back in to her death grip. It all starts with forgetting to post roll once , then twice, then maybe not on the weekends. Then, it's only every other day, then hardly at all. There was something one of the vets on this site said about how fragile our quits all are. I think it was Chewie who said, "We are all one trip to the corner store and a five dollar bill away from becoming a can a day slave to the nic bitch at any moment." Stuff like that really freaks me out sometimes. I know my quit is strong, but I also know that it could be easily broken from complacency or in a moment of deep desperation or emotional turmoil. I know a quitter on here that has gone through horrible things in his life and he continues to deal with such hardships, but he has stayed quit no matter what. Such commitment to staying quit and his respect for his fellow quitters is awe inspiring. So, no, right now I don't think about dip at all, but I also know that none of us are immune to hard times in our life. I know that during those dark times I will need my quit brothers and sisters more than ever. I need this place. I need it to remind me have far I have come not just in my quit but in my growth as a man. I need this site to remind what I once was. I need to this site to find support and receive support from my many like minded brothers. This site has helped me more than I can even put into words. This site has empowered me to become the man I have always know that I could be. Being able to quit helps much more than you health. It helps every aspect of your life. Personally, my self confidence increased greatly since joining KTC. I am also not nearly as negative as I have been in the past. I now realize that you only get one life and it is best to make the most out of it. My whole outlook has been affected. I know that this could not have been possibly without every single quitter that has reached out and helped me in some way or another. So I just want to say thank you to everyone that has helped to change my life, my WHOLE life, for the better. If any of you need help yourself, just say the word. I love you guys.

With the Buffalo Rider. Great words man.
Tsmith, thank you for sharing and being here instead of somewhere else. As Radman says,
"This is where my health and quit live. I can think of nowhere better to be."
I'm an example of why we pay it forward because you've done it for me every day. And I thank you for that. In the most manly way imaginable, I say you ROCK!!
You just made my quit squirt across the room.
Ripples brother. Well done.
If anyone is in it for the long haul one trait I notice about Tsmith is that he posted roll early, often and daily. Seriously, if you ever play the odds on betting. Someone who post roll every day and early vs sporadic posting...who would you put your money on.
I wouldn't hesitate to put my money on Tsmith! Glad to quit with the long haul quitters!
