I'm not really sure how to start this, my name is Ryan, and for 9 years the nicotine bitch has had her hands wrapped around my throat. I stumbled on this site and had no plans to join, but after reading posts and seeing that I wasn't the only one who had done the stupid things that I had to keep my addiction... Dipping in secret lying to family and friends... Check. Checking my mouth every day for signs of cancer not so I could motivate myself to quit but so I could continue... Check. It's made me realize how many have been there done that already. So one month before I turn 30 I am quit... It is day one of many and for once I'm excited by the prospect of quitting!

Dodge, welcome to the quit side. I saw you post roll this morning and I was wondering when you would make yourself known.
Welcome to KTC, welcome to day one of your quit, and welcome to the suck. Here is what you need, Water, so much so your eyes should be floating. Seed, candy gum, whatever to help you out with the oral fixation.
Post roll every day, be accountable to your quit group. When you need to yell and scream come in here and do it. Exchange phone numbers with everyone you talk to, have a lifeline. Personally for me I dont want to just dip my toe in the water here, I want to get involved, I want to let everyone know I am quit. I would not want to screw up, the accountability I have created with these fine people.
Welcome, I quit with you today!

It's noon, got a mouthful of jumbo seeds, a jug of water and a bit of halo 4.... One day at a time. Thanks for the words of wisdom!

You can do this. How do I know? Because this place is full of successful quitters.

Day 3 - The worst day of them all...
I have made it to the day I consider my greatest enemy, day 1 is a minor headache and irritability, day 2 is usually calm, but today... Today is my most dreaded day, the third one...
Mind and Body in full revolt...
Headaches, sweating, spouts of uncontrollable anger, loss of concentration, waving goodbye to my equilibrium.
Thoughts of dip non-stop, rationalization of why I could dip just today and continue my quit tomorrow.
Today would bring about more dread than ever, but here I am today, reading the posts of 100's of people who have gone through the exact same thing and staying quit. Screw you Nic.

Dodge - About the only thing I see as a problem for you today is your a browns fan! Hell you might be the only one! That like an addiction cant be cured. If this shit was easy you would be doing something wrong. I'm on day 77 and the craves and dreams are still a bitch, much easier but a bitch. Every emotion and mind altering thing your going through right now is you winning. Nic knows shes losing. Your doing great. I quit with you today, I will quit with you again tomorrow. One day at a time, You have this!
PS Die hard Bills fan, so who the fuck am I to judge.
If you need someone to vent with send it my way, you can call me every name in the book and I will piss you off so bad you will stay quit just to spite my ass. Don't be an asshole to friends and family, just cause your an adDICK doesn't mean they need to suffer. Spend as many hours you would normally chew here and you will win this hands down.

Day 3. Fight through the bullshit. After today, I promise it will start getting better. Slam the water. exercise. Stay occupied. The busier you are the less you will think about it. Right now you are smack dab in the middle of the biggest freaking fog you will have. Soon the fog will lift and you will have much more clarity.
In the mean time, try not to take your rage out on anyone other than those of us here at KTC. You need your family for support. Try not to alienate them. Come and rage at us. We have been there done that, got the t shirt. We know exactly how you feel. So rage on man. Check your in box. I've sent you my numbers.

Dodge - I quit with you brother! Keep up the great work. Two weeks ago I was sucking...I put my head down and pushed on. And that's what I'm still doing...it's better now though because my head isn't messing with me quite as much.
Keep it up, drink water. We are here with you.

I've seen games with the Browns in them, but not ones that they "played" in.
Fucking team has been pathetic, but this new ownership could do wonderful things for that team.
At least we ain't Steelers fans.

It's a great day to be quit!!! Woke up today and felt pretty good, the cravings and head fog are there but not as bad, went to the basement and touched the weight bench for the first time in 5 years... thanks to all who posted that as a good way to rage without pissing anyone off!!!
Got a pinch of that Jake's mint chew, mint flavor not so good but it does the trick!!!

Dodge, hit the weights! I was working out long before my quit, but I can tell you it has helped me so much. If you cant take a breath you cant crave!

I had faith in the new Browns' ownership for a little while... But there are troubling signs...
First, the hiring of Joe Banner (not sold on this fruitcake) he was run out of Philly for a reason maybe an Eagles fan can shed some light on that one...
Second, they basically had hired Lombardi way back in August, but waited to reveal it until they had a coach, the announcement was sandwiched between the hiring of Chudzinski and Norv Turner...
Now he's not available to the media here because he's a lightning rod for hate here in Believeland. Hmm... then why hire him? Questionable roster building knowledge and he worked with the Raiders... Nuff said.
They don't like Weeden, I think there MIGHT be potential with him, but not sure... So you go out and sign Jason Campbell? WTF?
But, because I am a Clevelander, I will keep the faith... We have no other choice.
Oh and GO TRIBE!!! Yep, I'm a sucker for losers.

Excellent point, I am hurting today but its that good hurt where you know you actually accomplished something, well 2 things... not dipping and working out.

Funny part about my first week.. I slept like 15 hours a day and ate a TON of fruit and greek yogurt! The only thing I planned for my quit was making day 1 also day one of a week vacation. No work was one less distraction. So that helped.
My quit actually got me back in the ice shooting the biscuit for the first time in 6 years. Felt good, except I lost muscle mass.
