Got a prescription for Chantix on 8/9 and my quit date is this coming Saturday 8/16. I have to say that the pill has helped me quite a bit and I am not a fan of prescription pills. Haven't been able to quit cold turkey for 10 years and i'm on 25+ years of Copenhagen. since last Saturday (4 days) I've only gone through 2 cans which if not quitting, would be like 4 or 5 cans. the pill, while not a magic pill, helps me with the edge. I am ready to quit and my whole thought process has been positive, bought 6 cans of hooch snuff to ease the habit and found this site that is great.
God Bless all the quitting and trying to quit dippers out there.

Welcome to the site. I am going to tell you what a lot of other quitters are going to say after reading your introduction. Why wait? You found us here on KTC, you posted your intro now post roll tomorrow morning and make tomorrow the start of your freedom from this awful drug. We will help you. That is why I joined and why you joined. Don't wait. You have taken all the steps except the most important one. Throw it all away tonight and post roll tomorrow morning. Promise to all of us to stay nic free tomorrow. That is it, just tomorrow. And then repeat on Thursday morning and do the same thing. You can fucking do this. So do it now and don't wait. It will be hard but we are all here for you. Good luck my friend!

Ah yes, the delayed quit. An old trick of the nic bitch. Flanny, ever thought about when cancer is initiated? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm not. But, I tend the think that there's got to be one dip in there among all the dips of a dipper that is the one that finally flips the switch. The one that causes something in the chemistry of our cells that starts the cancerous growth. That dip where the levels of exposure to the carcinogens finally catches up to you. I'm no doctor, so these are just my thoughts. Now, you tell me. If you think that's a possibility, what about those dips between now and 8/16?
Toss the can now, and by 8/16, the nic will be out of your system and you'll have the first 3-4 days already licked.

"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today". --who said that??

Do it now...quit and post roll.
-
My advice is give it up NOW! Waiting 4 days ain't gonna make it any easier. Your bloodstream could be nic-free by 8/16, and that's a very good thing if you really want to quit.

Just in case you come back and read this, the guys posting here aren't trying to be dicks. We are all just speaking from first hand experience. The mindset of an addict of I'll quit tomorrow or someday...only tomorrow and someday never comes. It sounds like you've made an actual plan...but why the wait? Why wait for another week? Will you really do it this time? Sounds like you've got all the tools in place and are prepping. Just know, that odds are against a future dated quitter.
I hope you quit today. But if not, I hope you stick with your plan. This may be afterall, the first promise you make to this group. Are you going to be a man of your word? Will you actually do it? I hope so.

Toomqr1, it is so easy for those of us with some quit under our belt to preach about doing it now versus waiting, but having been on both sides myself I can tell you from experience that waiting is a bad decision. If I would have listened to the advice given to me in March, I would have had another 30 days of freedom. And brother, it really is freedom, why delay?
-
Hey bud glad your planning, I was where you are 865 days ago. I was taking chantex, was mixing fake dip with my cope and cutting back on the frequency of my dips. My quit date was 11 days away when I joined. The day after joining I drank the koolaid, flushed all my stash, posted Roll and read all I could.
Keep thanking your chantex (it does take the edge off and you already have it), flush your cans, post roll, get active, get numbers of those you are Going through this with and buckle in for the quit ride.

As for toomqr1... as others have said... why wait? If you quit today, all that nicotine will be 100% out of your body by your proposed "quit date" of 8/16 (it takes 3 days to flush it out).
Get r done!

I'm sure you feel bummed that everyone is taking shots at you as opposed to offering you support. But you are a dipper, this site is all for quitters, dippers don't need support, quitters do. So when you decide to quit, I'll be back around to offer you my support. But until then we don't have much to offer you here.

My opinion. Chantix sucked. I had to go through withdrawal twice. At 20 days in I said screw Chantix and stopped. Put me a little more behind the rest of my month in terms of suck, fog, focus. Toss both the chantix and the can and quit cold turkey.

My opinion is that I was a dip/nicotine fiend just like you. I dipped skoal straight and graduated to Kodiak for 22+ years. For the last 10+ my next Kodiak fix was all I thought about. I quit cold turkey and I would guess 95%+ on here did it without Chantix. I'm on day 88 and I haven't looked back.
Just jump in and read everything on this site. If you are really ready to quit and you read everything on here and you realize that we are ALL the same addicts who have been doing the same stupid shit for YEARS - follow the plan posting roll and you will quit.

Enjoy your next 4 days dipping. Experience says we never see you again. If we do see you, you'll have my support then. Get on roll, post up and flush that shit down the toilet.
-
Do it now. You will not regret it.

I hear they will exhume Casey Casem for this event. Carson daly will be dooshy.
I'm going to wear my best sweater, and hope to get some at midnight. I'm already sporting a half chub...please don't leave me waiting.
I'll bring flowers...

Tick tock...

Oooh this is getting good.....Less then 24 hours to go until the big quit...... 'Popcorn'

Just imagine if you had nutted up the first day you came in here. You'd be on Day 3, fighting through the thick of the shit and feeling a sense of accomplishment at achieving something you had previously been too scared to attempt for any length of time. You'd probably have the digits of a few of your November quit brothers along with some badass vets, and you would have put them to use by this point. Other guys would have been pulling for you in roll, posting your name next to theirs, and maybe even shooting you some PM's to see how you're doing. It doesn't make the craves go away or clear out the fog, but damn does it help to know that there are other folks that believe in your quit and have got your back.
Anyway, back to reality....
Congrats on hitting Day -1.

trying to quit dippers
You don't try on KTC.
You do, or do not.
I hope you enjoy that last can today. Tomorrow is the 'big' day. I wonder how much you have left. Is it starting to set in that tomorrow you will finally be done? Or will you think just one more day and I'll be done. I can tell right now, November is going to eat you up. I hope the best for you. But your quit should have already started. The fog could have been lifted by now. Well, good luck.

I noticed he has been silent since his first post.
I know 4 people who have tried to quit smoking on Chantrix. O for 4. It isn't a magic bullet. Have no idea if it helps but it sure didn't help them. None of them I would label KTC material. You gotta fucking want to quit to be here and what are you doing anyways, trading off nicotine withdrawal for Chantrix withdrawal down the road?

A fucking waste of time. They don't realize what the REAL issue is. It's not the dip of tobacco. It's not the cig. It's the FUCKING NICOTINE.
You're completely right Hubie. You have to want to quit. And not the dip or cig. Release the nic bitch from her grip on your life. Don't let her control you any more. Chantix is just another way the bitch can get a hold of you.

I have a friend who gave up smoking 15 years ago. He has been chewing Nicorette gum every fucking day, all day for 15 straight years.
Granted, probably better than smoking but he is still addicted to NIC.

COLD turkey is the only way to go..... You don't need chantex or whatever the f it is called -- nicorete is for pussys --

Welp, here we go. The countdown is on. I'll put money on it that he wakes up today with half a can left. Decides to put it off until Monday, but damn he's got that big meeting on Monday, can't possibly do it then. The worst part about quitting tomorrow is that tomorrow never comes.

He hasn't even been back since his first post. Poof! Good thing I don't need this guy to quit today.

The cold hard fact is we were really mean to the guy. He probably came back and read the posts and was like, "These guys are being mean. I said I was going to quit so they should show me respect".
Sorry pal, nothing but tough love here. No silver bullets, no shortcuts unless your doctor will put you in a coma for 100 days, just the cold hard painful truth.
Nothing worse than trying to bullshit a room full of people who were the masters of bullshit until they finally quit.

But the Chantrix isn't working! This was supposed to be easy! The fake dip I bought doesn't taste like the real stuff! Jesus was supposed to be my guide!!

I think its a great lesson for other "aspiring" quitters.
Either pull the trigger or don't waste our bandwidth.
