Title: Quit - Day 2
Post by: Etxaggie on January 02, 2014, 10:12:00 PM
After 15 years of cope, I've decided to kick the habit. Day 2 was about the same as day 1 for me.
Very Tough!!!! I'm keeping Trident gum with me nonstop.

I just found this website  am glad to hear I'm not alone. Looking forward to meeting others who know what I'm going through.

Hey aggie, glad you found KTC. Well you certainly right, your not alone. Turnoff your tv at night and instead get familiar with all the areas of the site and read all you can. Read folks intro. Read HoF speeches. Go over to the general discussion area and read the questions posted and answers.
In doing so, you'll be gathering up tools to help you n your quit. Posting roll is the price of admission to KTC. Post first thing each day. Posting roll is giving your promise not only to your self but to the entire KTC community that you will not partake of nic for that day. Take it one day at a time. Don't worry about forever, just today.

Hey, I am now on Day 3 with you. I found Smokey Mountain Fake Chew is a great tabacco free and nicotine free alternative. Keep up the good fight and PM me if you think you might.

Welcome. Get into the Welcome Center and read up. Read about posting ROLL. You must commit to quitting daily  you do that by posting roll.

Note that you are not quitting a habit.... this is an addiction. 2 different animals. Right now you are an addicted slave to nicotine. But, you can break free of this mess!

Looking forward to your ROLL post today!

Welcome Aggie. Those were my thoughts exactly when I stumbled onto this site a little over 100 days ago. I was planning on quitting on my own, made it to day 3, and I was so miserable at work that I had to find something to give me some motivation to keep after it. I found this site and it's been all the motivation I've needed.

Made HOF (100 days quit) last week and I owe it to the kool-aid that this site is giving away. Post roll, keep your promise to your brothers, all the users on this site, and most importantly YOURSELF for the day. Wake up and repeat. Pretty soon you'll be strutting thru the doors of the HOF with that nic bitch on a leash behind you.

PM if you need help with any of the details on how to post roll or if you need to reach out. You got this bro, one day at a time (ODAAT).

Nice job posting roll. Now you are in! I was a cope fiend for years too, so i'm glad to see yet another warrior ready to kick that damned silver topped can into the gutter. Evil stuff! Learn as much as you can about the addiction, the poison, and how to win the KTC way. Build your network for accountability and support- with quit class mates, and vets of various times. You can do this!

I used sugarless gum a lot- so much my teeth got sore. If sugarless is what you are after, brother Pinched clued me in to some sugar free hard candies at Walgreens. Lots of people seem to like cinnamon flavor for their quit. I still use gum too though.

Good job. This quitting is tiring. Sleep is good for you and lots of water and exercise helps too. You are doing this man! Remember how crappy this feels cuz shortly you will be feeling better and the memories of the suck will help you never want to go through this again. I quit with you today.

Day 32!

This is the longest I have been without nic in at least 17 years. This ODAAT really works! I appreciate all the support from KTC.

Gdubya, Canvasback, dmonroe33, Francis, horseman, jaradm, zillah.....you have been a tremendous support system. Thank you.

Quit on!

The feeling is mutual. I could not have done what we're doing alone, and I appreciate following your quit, too. Reading, exchanging, posting gives commitment, strength, empathy, and resolve. I don't sit at home feeling sorry for myself and rationalizing my way into another tin. Instead, I get out there and try to live a vigorous dip free life. I pay more attention to my personal interactions, and I am mentally involved with shit going on around me. I am not on the sidelines just waiting for a chance to put in that next dip.

After getting into April '14, I finally accepted what that little voice in the back of my head had been telling me all these years. "Quit the shit, or you're going to die from it." So the tougher we are with our quits, and the more days and distance we put between us and the nic bitch, the better off we will be. Quit on brother. Enjoy this nic free weekend!

Etxaggie, your doing a great job bro. 17 years is a long time to be a slave. Let each +1 add to your confidence that tomorrow morning your going to wake up and do it all over again. All your hard work, the withdrawls, the fog, the suck...... it is all worth it. Every day little by little it just keeps getting better. Every day will be a new personal record for you. I'm proud of you and proud to be quit with you !

Day 35

The mind games are a bitch! The "suck" was just that......it sucked. Then, the fog seemed to lift. I was eating good, working out,  most of all NO NIC. It literally seemed like each day was getting better  better.

The last two days however seem like I have taken steps backwards. I guess this is all part of it?? I can't think of anything that triggered it, but I am pissed off at the world! I hope this stage passes soon!

Feels better to write about it......

Yes hold on tight as you are on that roller coaster ride. Enjoy and celebrate your victories when you are up and feeling good. But always remember what you are learning here, and be ready when on those down swings. Good news is those downs get less and less the more days you put up those +1' s.

Hang tight as you are doing it odaat. And honor that word each day.

I quit right with you today.

hey man we are all addicts, not slow learners. People tried to tell all of us but we knew better, one more wouldn't kill us...

Glad to see you can celebrate these wins and better yet document them.

When you get a crave or urge reflect on these days.

The quit is strong in this thread!

I DIDN'T know why I didn't see this crap was slowly killing me. I DIDN'T know why my blood pressure was higher. I DIDN'T know why I felt that quitting the poison was impossible. I DIDN'T know why I chewed for years even though it was costing me an arm and a leg.

Key word in last paragraph in capital letters my friend. Welcome to the real world. The world where the blinders are getting ripped off and your finding out the truths about the poison. Glad to be quit with you.

Day 49

I have so much to be thankful for, but I'm finding it very difficult to be happy. The nic bitch roller coaster sucks!

Working out has previously helped, but today I was pissed even after my workout. Maybe I should take up MMA or boxing.....

Hope this passes soon,  I'm sure my family hopes for that also.

Quit on!

Here's something to be happy about....
If you were still dipping, you'd be rushing headlong toward a life and death of cancerous agony. But now that you're quit, you are watching the potential for cancer recede into the distance with every passing day. Our quits are not always sunshine and rainbows, but I like to think that I'm putting time and distance between me and the big C.
Quit on brother,

Day 56

Wow, quitting nic is about so much more than just nicotine. I'm learning things about myself......some things I like, other things I need to work on.

For the last 15+ years, I would hide behind my addiction. If I was stressed/mad/disappointed/scared, I would put a dip in and "get over" it. All I really did was avoid the feeling....I didn't really work through it. That's sad!

I think part of my "ups  downs" lately are two-fold -

Ups
1) when I think about my quit  the strength I've shown to myself...
2) when I think about my family  the stuff they have put up with ( they still love me)...
3) freedom from nicotine....
4) allowing myself to feel again....don't know if that's the right way to say it, but whatever!

Downs
1) money, time,  effort wasted on this addiction....
2) mad at myself for getting myself into this addiction....
3) mad at myself for not quitting sooner......


I was always taught that I couldn't change the past. Here's to moving forward  forgiving myself for the past......

I quit with you today!

2. Proud of myself for recognizing and treating this addiction
3. Proud of myself for truly being quit this time

Day 76

Days 70 - 74 were pretty rough. Had a serious case of the F-its! I continued posting roll  support for a few others. Other than that, I just wasn't motivated to post/read like I normally do.

Turning a corner now  my mood is much better the last couple days.

Spent a day with the family at the zoo over spring break.......dip free! It's amazing how many people use nicotine. I guess I really didn't pay attention when I was using nic.

I've noticed the same thing. We don't notice how many people use nicotine when we're using it as well. Once we've quit, it stands out when anyone is using some form of it. 17 Days in and I've noticed the same thing.

Day 83

I slated another dragon today. It has been 10 years since I have been to the dentist. I was nervous, but all went well. I was happy to check "No" for "Do you use tobacco?" Tissue looked good  they were congratulating me on my quit........hell, I didn't even have any cavities.

They asked me how I quit  I told them "One day at a time with some friends online that I have never met in person". That was met with blank stares. I told them about KTC  they asked a few questions. Hopefully they will pass the word........

Enjoyed it so much, that I'm going back for a whitening treatment in a couple weeks!

I quit EDD with each one of you!

Funny how that question being able to respond NO when they ask if you use nicotine strikes such a cord. Nice job manning up and getting in there for a checkup. No big deal... Right!

Congrats! it is such a relief isn't it? I just did my first trip in about 10 years too. I stopped for 2 months or so 10 years ago before I went.

So nice not to have to lie or feel embarrassed by the tobacco use question!

Keep earning that freedom, you're doing great!

They asked me how I quit  I told them "One day at a time with some friends online that I have never met in person".  That was met with blank stares.  I told them about KTC  they asked a few questions.  Hopefully they will pass the word........

Enjoyed it so much, that I'm going back for a whitening treatment in a couple weeks!

I quit EDD with each one of you!
Funny how that question being able to respond NO when they ask if you use nicotine strikes such a cord. Nice job manning up and getting in there for a checkup. No big deal... Right!

83 dAys of quit... Enjoy your victory today. You are quit and you are free.
Congrats! it is such a relief isn't it? I just did my first trip in about 10 years too. I stopped for 2 months or so 10 years ago before I went.

So nice not to have to lie or feel embarrassed by the tobacco use question!

Keep earning that freedom, you're doing great!
Congrats. Way to spread the KTC word!
Rock on you pearly white smiling smooth talking s.o.b.
Quit with you every day!

Day 89

I'll be honest, the vets who told me that my brain was "re-wiring"  "healing" from the damage of nicotine. I kind of thought y'all were full of BS.

Now, I can say that my brain is healing. I feel like I'm thinking more clearly, engaging people better, getting along with others, etc.... Of course this could be a figment of my imagination? 'crackup'

Quit on!

I know I'm a day early on your 300 but congratulations. Just wanted to thank you for being a consistent every day part of my quit. Your support has meant the world to me and I look for it every day. I have never been disappointed because it is always there. I owe you the same and will do my best not to let you down.
Enjoy your day of 300 quit. You are a true bad ass.
