Hi Folks,
As of 20 Minutes ago I consider myself a can killer as I stomped the half full can in my driveway. The can has been dicating my life for 24 years, I quit once for a year. Just today I ordered nicotine patches through my work and set a date for April 8th to quit. And after some thought I decided just to quit... figuring patches were just another vessel to keep "Nicotine" in my body. And hat would mean I not be quitting for another 8 weeks cause technically you havent quit if you still have nicotine? Right? So tomorrow I will post my first role call since I feel today it would not be fair since I have dipped today... I look forward to hanging out with you folks.

Grab your sack and hang on for the ride or in other words...embrace the suck. Click the welcome center link at the top and read what we are about. You need a number I'm just a pm away.

Mark, Welcome! I have only been quit for a week, but I feel better about myself just knowing that I am dedicated to the quit. I am fairly new to being quit, so we will be going through the same temptations and shitty times together. pm me for my number, lets quit together!

Thanks for the support guys, this morning without a wake up chew was not bad at all for me, I actually found a half a can laying on the sofa arm this morning looked at it smirked and dumped it in the toilet. My plan was to use a food processor to grind some beef jerky up and put it in some empty tins I had laying around, but I never got around to it.. may do that tonight.. oh well as long as I dont yell at my employees or customer today and the wife tonight all will be good...

The Jerky is a good idea, but I am not sure I would use an old tin you have laying around. If it were me, I would take every one of those old tins and throw them away. Way way far away. I personally, would not want to have a relapse and be licking the bottom of a can. Again that is just me do as you wish, but I know your a 20 year addict like me, I know I am not that strong, or I may be and dont want to find out!
-
Mark, I tried the old tin with beef jerky idea as well just because I thought maybe it might fool my brain, but honestly all it did was make me think about dip even more because I had the can but knew what was in it! I find that LOTS of sunflower seeds work best for me....but everyone is different. Congrats on making it this far, just focus on today! You can kick this nic bitch!

I had to get as far away from the can as possible. Seeds were my lifesaver.
Go around to all your hiding spots and get rid of those cans. Right now it's not hard to resist the urges, but there will come a time that you won't be as strong.
-
So one of things I have been wondering about I dont see on anyones time table how long it takes to get rid of the nasty chew sleep drool? Ah come on you know the one that leaves the brown spots all over you pillows. lol 'crackup'

Radman speaks the truth. Do as he says and you may save your own life. Learn to hate your enemy. Learn that you're an addict and you will win one day at a time. Many have quit before us, use their wisdom and insight for your quit.
Cheers! fight like hell. You gotta reeeeeaaaallllyyyy want to be quit to stay quit! 'bang head'
-
Just think of the can as Commidus. Father to a murdered son! Husband to a murdered wife! And I will have my vengence in...oh well you get it.
Dude, if you can transition away from anything can related now, jerkey or fake chew, you'll be stronger for it after the first week or so. Just get ready to become really good friends with sunflower seeds.
-
Thanks for the advice guys... So far only to pieces of gum for the day and haven't had to say i'm sorry for yelling at anyone... all in all a pretty good day. Havent as much as 'bang head' I think I will take your advice on the cans and leave them in the trash.

Good deal. That's one day of freedom!
Don't let the easy days weaken your resolve. That's where many a quit has failed. Call it complacency if you want, but several easy days in a row will make it even tougher when that bad day comes along. Be ready. Print out that contratct and have some numbers stored in your phone.'
If you want to continue the theme, come on by and quit with the Gladiators in my HOF group (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=3770). We always welcome new quitters to post with us, and another layer of accountability can't hurt.
Oh..... as far as the 'bang head' ......... it will come. I guarantee that. If you need to yell at somebody, bring it here. Don't take it out on your family or friends. They didn't cause this.

Day 2...feeling a little hazy today, not having a morning chew today sucked a lot worse than yesterday... i got it thou...Im strong 'finger point' no no nicotine .

Almost finished up day 2ready and waiting on day 3. I find myself a little fidgity since I am not reaching for a spitter or not wondering where I left my tin lay. I must say it is a good fidgity. Was surfing around the old InnerWeb... and found this quote and found it fitting for the group. The way I look at it...any fat guy willing to sit around in a diaper to come up with some sayings and always have a smile on his face is a good guy to me....lol

Get through the first 72 hours and feel the fog start to lift. Shits going to stay tough get some digits, reach out to some vets and newbies, stay involved-power in numbers and beat that nic bitch down. A wise man once told me "take what you need and leave the rest"

12 more hours and I reach my first milestone, the dreaded 72 hour mark. Life is good!!! Hey Nicotine 'Finger'

Definitely the worst time for me is at night while Im relaxing... This morning SUCKED also, I have a bag of seeds in case the cravings get to bad, but so far gum has took the edge off. I wanna try and use the seeds as an absolute last resort. The Fog is defiantly a weird one...sometimes I feel like I am almost a little drunk and some times
I feel like I havent slept in 2 days.... Sorry if I am rambling its a foggy moment lol.

That is such an accurate description of the fog. I felt like I had a good buzz. except, I could not hold a thought and my mind raced, but could not think about shit. I told my wife during a conversation, one sided, when she speaks to me I see the Matrix, stuff going by.

So in trying to keep my mind off dip I have already cleaned the hardwood floors this evening. I am thinking about hopping on the treadmill to occupy my time for a while. .. evenings SUCK... hopefully getting over the 72 hump tonight will help a little.

So you will all be getting socks or a scarf for Christmas...please no requests... Some I am at about 80 hours nic free. And today I feel alot better... more like my old self... well my new and improved old self. I know there will be plenty more bad times, but since I am feeling so good im going to give myself a small pat on the back, as this is the longest I have been off nicotine in the past 24-25 years. And I really need to get to work cause I havent gotten Jack shit done in the past three days lol...Thanks guys... I quit with you all today!!!

Man, that made me laugh! I reverted back to rope rescue basics. Drug out a 25' section of rope and kept it in the house. I was a knot-tying sumbitch. Could do most of the basics blinded, behind my back, and some with one hand. Good stuff.

I will be glad when I don't think about it as much though. Stay strong and I quit with you! If you need anything pm me.

It gets easier, for me it only sucks between 12:01 am - 11:59 pm. I quit with you. Know your not alone! It sucks for all of us.

Sad to see the list of people not following through with their journey. Im sure they dont know what they are missing, everyday I feel a little better, somedays the cravings are real bad and want to kill people and somedays, like today, I have not as much as popped a piece of gum in my mouth. Its a rollercoaster ride that will never be over, because I understand I am an addict. But I also know each day I stay quit I am adding time to my life to spend with family that I have never met and are not yet in this world. I could not imagine my life not knowing and having the relationship I did with my grandparents, and I want to be able to pass that on to my grandchildren when ever they arrive in this world.

I agree, it started to really piss me off how quick some would come and go. But I quit for me everyday, and I quit for you and the other bad ass quitters that have the balls to do this. This aint for pussies! I quit with you today.

Nice! I know a former smoker who bought all these little magnets that are together in a string. She sits there and fiddles with them, making different shapes and figures. She says it gives her something to do rather than hold a cigarette in her fingers. Great job! We're quitting together today!

Stocked up on gum and seeds this morning... getting prepared in case the two week bitch pokes her head out this weekend. What do you folks think of the flavored seeds. I have just bought the regular but I seen spicy and ranch, didnt even know that shit existed.

Congrats on 2 weeks. I have been out of the loop on KTC for the past week or so and it is great to see your quit it going strong. The dill pickle flavored seeds are pretty good. I have been buying the low-sodium seeds recently. They have just enough salt for flavor, but don't tear up your mouth. Keep it up.

I fell off the radar for a while, but my quit is real. Great to see you doing well. I saw KKLJINC posting about his craves around day 22-23 and just went through that myself. It sucked. Be ready.

Looking forward to it... I know it will suck, and I am not taking it lightly but I realize it is something I must do to move forward with my quit and live my life nicotine free. And I have no fears I will get up everyday and post my roll, and rely on my brothers and sisters here if I need help. The best part of this journey is knowing I am not alone.

I had the same, I hear it's the dopamine levels in the brain leveling off. Either way, I chewed a ton of cinnamon gum and destroyed half a bag of jolly rancher cinnamon fire in a matter of days. lol

Help...bad time !!

Fuck you I needed help...no one cared... I will quit every day... for me... fuck u!

Fuck you I needed help...no one cared... I will quit every day... for me... fuck u!
Did you jump into live chat? do you have any numbers? I'm happy as hell to give mine out and so are a ton of other guys here! send out some pm's, throw one my way. That's a bitch that you had a tough time but it's great that you are quitting for you each day! That's the name of the game around here, I'd love to quit for me and for you and for my brothers and sisters here at ktc but the only one I can quit for is me. If I can help you out I'm happy to, as are a ton of other quitters here. To say no one cared is just wrong - is it a cop out because you want to bail ktc - you ready to get away from the accountability? If so I can't keep you here but that's on you not on anyone here for failing to read your intro at the moment you wanted them to...

Quitting is fun sometimes.
It starts out really shitty for the first few days, and then things get waaaaay better quickly. It gets to the point sometimes that you feel invincible.
But, then reality sets in.
Quitting is like a pendulum and it swings back quickly. The good thing is that for every bad moment, there is a good. Remember that. Eventually, that weight will settle in the center. Not today, but soon.
When times are good, we practice for the bad.
When times are bad, we lean on what we learned.
Use the tools here man. Use the tools.

Sorry guys worst moment ever.. went to bed feel better so far today. Two week weakness?
I know what you mean. I'm on day 37 and I had a bad week. It comes in spurts. I felt real good the last couple but before that I was fit to be tied. What I do when nobody is around is read information on the site and browse hof speaches. Those are real good to read. Usually someone shows up before long and before you know it your talking to someone. Besides that I don't think anyone minds if you come on and curse everyone out. We are just glad to see you today and glad you are still quit.

It is, and I'm very sorry you had a bad night.
If you feel this coming on again, try posting to your group, or to THIS (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=267) (Warning: Many people here have subscribed to that thread. If you post something there, it puts an email into mine and hundreds of others' inbox.)

Nothing to be sorry for - you've got a plus one next to your name don't you! Hope you don't feel like I was on you for no reason, I just want to see you hit the HOF and beyond and I know being active here will get you there... Proud to quit with you today!

I just posted this in Scottm1682's intro...
Never would have thought how great you'd feel without dip, right?! Never thought it was possible to feel so free, right?
Now keep this last week of Hell (in your case, two weeks) in your mind every day you wake up, because you don't want to have to repeat it again. Never Again For Any Reason!
The first week (two weeks for you) is a bitch, but damn it feels good to make it that far! It's all good things from here. Keep your guard up though, the nic bitch wants you back! Keep some food or gum to chew on close by, stay true to yourself and to us! I quit with you!
Read my signature.. soak it up!

Good Job Marcus. I'm on day 40 and the first two were the worst. I've had some bad days since then, so keep your guard up. I had a bad week when I hit my 30's, which was the worst since the first two weeks. That could just be me though,,, a lot of things going on. Great job on your quit,,, two weeks,,,,,,,,,,, we're taking this all the way to the house. Glad to be quit with you.

One Year –
So here I am feeling pretty humbled and emotional right now. Not only has the past two weeks been a milestone of 300 days rid of alcohol and now a year quit on Nic but I had the pleasure of meeting some bad ass people over the last several days. I have written a couple HOF speeches and have always considered them long winded and not worth posting. So I figured I would dig up this old introduction and bring it back to life. I am trying to keep it simple as my mind is racing with a million things I would like to say, so IÂ’m going do a simple list of things I believe make me a successful quitter.
1. Post Role, as addicts we need to be held accountable. All the time not just until we reach the HOF, and not just during the week. (People will yell at you for not posting trust me)
2. Moderation when drinking especially in the early days. (I have heard so many stories of I was out drinking). My personal choice was to give up alcohol forever, had it not been for giving up one addiction I might have never dealt with another.
3. Stay active in chat or on the boards, others need you as much as you need them. Helping someone through rough times in their early days is a sure way to keep those first few days of your own quit a not so distant memory and also provide them reassurance that everything is going to be ok.
4. Make friends, get numbers and use them, we are addicts we are going to need support forever. (There is no cure)
And to end I would like to thank you all for saving my life, all my quit family that quits with me everyday, the folks that started this site, and the people taking the first step to quitting and signing up for day one. Everyday quit is reassurance I will have more time on earth for my family and my incredible friends I make everyday on KTC.

3. Stay active in chat or on the boards, others need you as much as you need them. Helping someone through rough times in their early days is a sure way to keep those first few days of your own quit a not so distant memory and also provide them reassurance that everything is going to be ok.
4. Make friends, get numbers and use them, we are addicts we are going to need support forever. (There is no cure)
And to end I would like to thank you all for saving my life, all my quit family that quits with me everyday, the folks that started this site, and the people taking the first step to quitting and signing up for day one. Everyday quit is reassurance I will have more time on earth for my family and my incredible friends I make everyday on KTC.
Badass Marcus!
I'll never forget holding onto that lifeline that is chat when I first quit. You seemed to always be there but, most important, always encouraging. Congrats to you bro!
