Greetings,
After quitting for 8 hours many times over the last 20+ years, I'm finally 6 days into a quit. I can't believe how much impact 1/2 can of Koidak per day had on my life. I used the to think the stories of running 3 miles to buy a can was funny but it's embarrassing now. Done with that.
I will say the first 3-4 days sucked bad. Couldn't focus at work. I woke up at night in a panic about weird stuff. Everything bugged me. Not sure it's gone but today is better than yesterday so that's fine.
I appreciate all the support this community offers. I would ask for more patience as newbies learn the norms. I feel like I've been beat up for "bumping" or whatever. This 90's bulletin board technology isn't intuitive and easy web sites don't require a training video. And why do you fuckers cuss so much?
Okay, need to stay busy.
Thanks all!

Welcome Z! congrats on 6 days, that is awesome! you are taking your life back, I love it.
Nobody should be giving you a hard time about bumping - you are a newbie to the board, and still in the 'fog' of your quit. Its hard to focus on anything at all, let alone bumping. Once you're a veteran of a (few weeks/month or so, then you need to fix your bumps. First week? just tell them to STFU. The 'more-veteran" guys should be helping you out with bumps in this early stage.
Anyway. If you need any help with anything or have any questions, just ask. I'm happy to help, if I can. Quit with you today!

Hey, man. Welcome.
It does get better one day at a time. Getting thru the nic withdrawl is the toughest. After that it's a different kind of challenge. I'm no expert, I'm only a few weeks more quit, but I can tell you it gets better.
Figure out how to stay clean for 24 hours at a time and you'll do alright.
Welcome to your new life, man.
Quittin' with you today bro.

Welcome to the team! Proud to be quitting with you. If you need anything at all - shoot me a pm and I'll send you my number. Speaking of which - make sure you gather up a bunch of numbers and give yours out too. It's a key part of this deal. Accountability and brotherhood.

I know it can be difficult to exchange numbers with complete strangers, but some of the best support that I have is from the guys who I have never met, and just know as Winter Green, PBrain, Zilla cowboy, and Slug.go. Granted I know their names now, but at first I had no idea who they were, all I knew is that they were there to help me through a difficult time in my life.
Exchange numbers, get to know the guys in your group and the guys/gals who are supporting you from the bottom of your roll.
Good luck, and congrats on the choice to get rid of that shit!

Like he said, don't worry about the bumping. Its part of the game. The most important thing is that you Posted Roll for your first time. Glad to have chatted with ya last night in chat and glad you got your login figured out. Remember we only quit for today. Tomorrow will be a different today (especially since the site is changing).

Congrats Z! You should be proud of 6 days. You've made it thru some of the hardest part of your quit. It's still not easy, but it will slowly get better. Quit with you one day at a time.

People that worry too much about bumping can take a hike. Post roll every day, honor your word, and spend a few moments to appreciate ExNuke's avatar.

Thanks, Raider. I do appreciate your help. I was pretty close to quitting this web site last night. I would have had you not e-mailed. Keep on quitting!

Welcome zquitter to 'taking your life back'.....you gotta really want it, ODAAT.
You can make this your final quit....ODAAT and NAFAR.
KTC works.
Stick around, get quit, stay quit with a bunch of hard ass serious addicts who can/will save your life, if you'll let them.
You're in the right place brother, Cheers.

Made it through day 6. On the Chat room earlier I said I felt cocky today because I had 0 craving. I did think "why am I on the site if it's this easy?". But not really. I've quit too many times to know some days are easier than others. Glad I had a diamond today but there will be stones.
My mouth is feeling swollen tonight. I think I read about that. But, had a good check up at dentist today.
Bring on day 7. Did not use yesterday, did not use today, will not use tomorrow. (in case the board is down)
Need to get some miles in tomorrow. Off to bed.

That's some good shit man, the worst of it should be about over by now. You'll still be in the fog, but you should notice life returning to a little bit more normalcy within the next week. As long as you stick to this site and prescribe to the method, you can accomplish some amazing milestones.

Feeling cocky, tomorrow, quit to many times. These statements worry me, just a little. Trouble maneuvering the site and getting pissed at people is not a problem. You'll get past all that with time. After a few bad days hopefully you'll get a little humility.I did think "why am I on the site if it's this easy?".
I realize I'm taking that out of context but I want to point out what addict talk is like.
But not really. I've quit too many times to know some days are easier than others.
I beg to differ, you've never quit or you wouldn't be here. (Just semantics) but all those failures were just that).
Z, I only give you a bad time to strengthen your resolve. I've witnessed far to many failed attempts over the past and want to see you succeed. Quitting isn't a game of chance or luck, it takes a steeled determination. The first time you miss roll and give an excuse (any excuse) is the beginning of another failed attempt.

First time he misses roll I'm all over him like a fly on shit. Then we send CMark to find him. They both like the CA sun.

Zquitter, I quit with you today, and I have never figured out why they curse so fucking much I never cursed my whole fucking life until I quit. Im getting better at not cussing again..FU by the way and stay true to the brotherhood of quit..

Day 7 - still quit. Still feel strong. It helps that I have so many people who want to help me.
Was supposed to have day off but went to work this morning. When leaving at lunch I reached under the car seat for the can. Strange how my brain is so programmed to reach for the can. (There was nothing there.)
Thinking about how I want be done with day 8 and 9 right now. But I can only quit day 7 today.
Had a clean report at dentist yesterday. I sometimes wonder if my body could tolerate 7300 days of Kodiak and I dipped 7301. That would suck.
Thanks for reading, brothers. Some replies feel harsh, but I appreciate all input. Still learning.
BTW... C Mark told me to come to this site. He saw me spitting at the polls after last election. I hope to have lunch with him one day as a quitter.

Nice job on your FIRST week. I quit 133 days ago and I still catch myself patting my shorts for that Damn can. Cmark is a great quitter. Meet up with him. Your quit will grow exponentially stronger putting a face to a name. Make him take you fishing!

Damn fucking shit pissing mother-fucking assholes QLF! Sorry, could not resist where this thread was headed. Zquit - use the good days to remind you during the tough times it does get better. Guard your quit this weekend. Important to avoid some triggers early on. Good chatting with you the other day. Quit like fuck, fuckers!
-
Day 8, just fine. Got a 2 hour trail run in first thing. I used to look forward to getting back tot the car to ... Thought about the trigger and decided I'd rather look forward to that big yellow grapefruit in the fridge. Good f'in grapefruit.
Drinking lots of water helps keep the 'foggy' away. I think I've taken in a full gallon already today.
I appreciate my new friends who text me. It keeps me motivated and keeps me strong to smack down any craves. I will stay quit today. You do the same, please. If anyone wants to trade #s, please PM. Happy to have more friends quitting together. You will get added to my phone book as username BAQ (bad ass quitter).
-
Checking in on ZQ, how is it going.text anytime you get in a tuff spot we can work through it and I will do the same. We got this ODAAT NAFAR QLFEDD...

Made 14 days. I feel strong today. Over the last few days...
Day 9 began cravings for comfort food. I bought a meatloaf and pizza at Vons and planned to eat both. Stopped short. Bought 6 cans of Pringles.
Day 10 had bad nic cravings. After sticking my tongue in my lip all morning I went to Walmart and bought some Smokey Mountain. It helped get me through the crave. I thought about how stupid jamming sugared corn silk in my lip was. But not as dumb as cancer causing tobacco and fiberglass.
Day 11 was encouraged when getting texts from BAQs (bad ass quitters). Yem, Emulator, Bronco, Smokey, ... And kudos for the chat room BAQs, kdip, Knockout, Raider, Braves, BuckNuts, ... too many to name. Proud to be quitting with you.
Day 12-13 staying strong. Thought about using Kodiak for around 7300 days. No wonder why I still reach for the can after 12 days. It may take time to reprogram the brain about triggers.
Day 14 Feel strong. Stayed quit again today. I'd like to be quit for 7300 days but I can only quit today.
stay busy, use the tools, one day at a time, none yesterday, none today

That's all I friggen do now is eat. Told the Ms. to restrict buying sweets and bad-4-u snacks because anything in the house I will devour in the first day.. She loaded up the cart with good stuff that I can obsess on.. like grapes, pita chips with hummus..
Before I quit I hardly ever ate lunch while at work (guess what I was doing during my lunch??? I'll give you one friggen guess). Now I'm spending more money on lunches than I was on dip, but I'd pay TRIPLE or QUAD that to be QUIT.
I'm quit and hungry with you Z

Made 14 days. I feel strong today. Over the last few days...
Day 9 began cravings for comfort food. I bought a meatloaf and pizza at Vons and planned to eat both. Stopped short. Bought 6 cans of Pringles.
Day 10 had bad nic cravings. After sticking my tongue in my lip all morning I went to Walmart and bought some Smokey Mountain. It helped get me through the crave. I thought about how stupid jamming sugared corn silk in my lip was. But not as dumb as cancer causing tobacco and fiberglass.
Day 11 was encouraged when getting texts from BAQs (bad ass quitters). Yem, Emulator, Bronco, Smokey, ... And kudos for the chat room BAQs, kdip, Knockout, Raider, Braves, BuckNuts, ... too many to name. Proud to be quitting with you.
Day 12-13 staying strong. Thought about using Kodiak for around 7300 days. No wonder why I still reach for the can after 12 days. It may take time to reprogram the brain about triggers.
Day 14 Feel strong. Stayed quit again today. I'd like to be quit for 7300 days but I can only quit today.

Some good quitting in here! Keep it up!

Z and Wolf, I am on day 9, and gonna add the Paleo/Atkins type diet to the quit, since I am stuffing food down my chute like crazy. Might as well lose some weight while I quit.
Gratz on the quit, I have a trigger spot as well, it's after I drop the kids off at school, I reach into the "the chew hatch" in the mini-van, which has been empty for 40+ days!

One of my previous stops had me gain some weight as well. The NB whispered to me that Heart Disease was worse than cancer and I bought it. Don't let her fool ya like she did me.
-
I've been fat longer then I have dipped, so even if I gain weight it's not a major deal. Atkins if fun for the first month anyway, and if I am going to get my fat ass on roller coasters in June I need to drop 20 in a flash.

Day 20 done, quitters. I quit eating Sriracha Pringles and don't want Smokey Mountain all the time now. I still keep it around for the bad craves. Feeling stronger every day. I've been telling friends about quitting and it feels great. I thought I'd be embarrassed to tell them I used smokeless. But, now they now and can hold me accountable. I won't let my friends down or any of the BAQs on this site.
Quitting ODAAT!

Been watching your quit bro. Nice work. I can tell your really wanting this. Enjoy the good days. I usually say prepare for the bad, but it's clear you're taking this seriously and your in it to win it. Quit with you today.

Day 40 done. A few observations about my quit...
+ I quit wanting to eat everything. Started getting back to my running. (I've run 44 marathons.) I'm planning a marathon for August-ish.
+ After reading a bunch of Intros and HOF speeches... I see we're all the same. Addicts. How many ninja dippers are out there hiding a stupid habit from their family, wasting money, being away from loved ones, making themselves sick... AND THEY (we) FUCKING HIDE IT. Can we be proud of an action that we have to hide?
+ I'm so pissed at Kodiak for selling their shit to me for 20+ years. I'm not buying their shit ever again. Anyone who works for the company should be forced to make their kids and pets dip. They should stuff dip in their 4 year old daughter's lip. If they are so proud of how they earn a living, they should be proud to make their kids nicotine users. Did I mention I'm pissed?
+ I still get craves. Riding my motorcycle today caused a major crave. The craves are old memories that can be buried with the trash.
+ The fuckers on this site cuss too much. But, they will save your life if you let them. I waste too much time on the chat room at 9:45 PM Pacific. But, it's a million times better than nicotine.

Im proud to quit with both of you. . I am at 128 today and I do not remember when I stopped wanting to eat everything but I did stop somewhere back there. Unfortunately 25 pounds heavier. run like forest gump and exercise.. all I can say. because you are going to eat...... The craves still come but they are nothing like they used to be around your date ... so hang in there you have it beat. You are bad ass quitters.. and yes the do curse too much here but what the hell are you to do about it?

Congrats on 40 days quit bro! I like to see the fire you are showing... anger towards BigT does not hurt any quit.
Don't forget... this was never a Habit. It is an evil addiction that owned us. Each day we quit... we take back ownership of our life.
Keep at it today.
Quit on!

Gratz on the 40+, I quit with you and July today.
I am getting craves 2-3 daily, usually routine triggers, but sometimes random, but not as strong as they were even last week. The most worrisome factor for me right now is my total "fuck it" attitude, I have zero filters at home, and even at work right now, and what I think is what comes out of my mouth. And of course I am still eating everything and anything that lands near me.

Day 82 observations...
+ I'm feeling better every day. I kinda feel like a new person.
+ I need to quit caffeine... but I'm focusing on the nic right now. You are next caff bitch.
+ I have about 100 quitters cell phone numbers. I appreciate random texts. (At reasonable hours for west coast.)
+ I may have written this in my last post but I have no interest in Smokey Mtn. It helped me get through early craves but I'm sick of having spitters in my car and I don't need it anymore.
+ I still waste too much time on this web site.
+ I get the "go to lite for coddling" point but I think some quitters push it too far. I want to see everyone quit (not stop).
+ I forget who wrote this but it's true... most of the guys on this web site are better friends than my friends on FaceBook.
+ I know it's only one day at a time, but I'm going to make it to 100 - with 100% roll. Thinking of quitting for 100 days makes me... 18 days to go.
+ Early on I dreamed of a HOF coin but I'm not buying one. I'm pissed at myself for ever starting using nic. Don't need it.

I'm with you on the need to kick the caffeine bitch in the ass next. But she's a 600lb BEAST!!
I've debated about the coin as well, but have decided that it will be a good reminder of where I've been. And where I never want to go again.
Our being addicts won't change whether we buy a coin or not. History, as pathetic and controlled by the nic bitch as it was, is still a part of us and should not be forgotten. Complacency may begin to set in, and from what I've read, that's not usually a good thing.
Proud to quit with you today.

Random thoughts at day 203
+ I sometimes consider leaving KTC to spend time on other stuff. But I sort of like the people on this site and probably won't leave.
+ I still get some craves on certain triggers. Things like leaving work on Friday and going on long drives.
+ I find myself cussing much more and I don't care. (I mean I don't give a fuck.)
+ I think I used alcohol as a substitute around day 80 - 120. Probably drank much too much.
+ The cavers piss me off for breaking a promise. But I also feel bad for them going back to day 1. The day count is motivation to not want to start over. But I wish cavers well - hope they stay quit.
+ Quitting caffeine is helping me mentally. I need someone to hold me accountable in that group. I need to hate the caff bitch.
+ I enjoy meeting quitters. Been to 3 or 4 meetups. Quality people them quitters.
+ I don't hate Grady's posts anymore. Has he changed or have I?
+ The second 100 days went much faster than the first. Insert something wise about life here.

Great post Z. Both you guys are stand up quitters in my eyes. Thanks for staying in the mix
-
Z, what would you do without me? 'na na' You probably wouldn't cuss as much nor would you have someone to mention, that has been such an inspiration to your quit. 'finger point' Oh and to answer your question, we've all changed...well... except for our "freak" (woot) and I don't think that's ever going to change. Glad to be quit with you Zeke.

Random thoughts at day 320...
+ I still get craves with certain triggers. Like getting in my car on Friday after work. I guess it will take more than 300 days to wipe out 7200 days of normal.
+ I like the guys in my quit group. I'm going to meet them all in person.
+ When I see the quit groups that are 2-4 years old, I see there are only a handful of guys still posting. I wonder who will drop away from July 2014 and who will stay?
+ Every new quit group month goes through the same drama and team formation stages. Funny.
+ I quit eating so much. I quit drinking IPA so much. My weight is finally trending to previous weight.
+ New soap box: I used to think smoking was an individual choice. If you want to kill yourself, so be it. Now that my taxes pay for other people's mandatory health insurance, smokers/dippers piss me off. Low income people who smoke should not get tax subsidies to make themselves sick.
+ I have been spending more time in the noobs quit groups. I used to pick a guy and try to help them. Then they cave and piss me off. Now I wait to see if a bad ass emerges and try to team up.
+ Time seems to be flying. Can't believe a years is coming soon. The first 100 took forever.
+ The guys who leave KTC because of pride are not a distraction to me. Hope they stay quit and find what they're looking for.
+ So fucking glad to be quit.

Random thoughts at day 475...
+ Not much new. The craves get less and less. There is still a mild crave on a stressful day and I drive past the c-store. I won't stop. I'm not gonna blow 475 days at 100%. kdip is counting on me.
+ The people ("guys" changed to "people") on this site are all alike. Outdoors, sports, regular sorts.
+ I don't know if I ever thanked MCO and KnockOut for spending so much time in chat with me my first 100 days. It was priceless counseling every day at 9:30 PM Pacific. Thanks guys!
+ There are some cool people on this site. I consider some friends though I've never exchanged a PM with them. I should reach out to more cool people.
+ I love quitter meet ups. Each one, great. Remember when Smeds visited from 2500+ miles away, that was awesome. Lipi, Sajax and I won $25 at trivia - thanks to KTC.
+ Everyone has problems. Mine aren't so bad.
+ Man, reading back in my logs... I remember how bad day 69 was. I almost caved that day.
+ Fuck big tobacco.

Random quit thoughts at day 690...
+ It is much easier to be quit now than 689 days ago. I rarely think about nicotine.
+ Rarely does not equal never. I still experience triggers when stressed or happy. It's less of a trigger and more of a memory. I used to use nicotine daily.
+ I had a dip dream around day 600. It was the only dip dream I can remember having. It was very weird. Everyone says that about dip dreams. I dreamed I used nicotine... and didn't give a shit. In my dream, I was satisfied using again. I only told one guy about this dream. He is a good friend.
+ Meeting quitters makes my day. 100% of the quitters I have met are quality people. I hope people will send me a message if in San Diego for a meetup.
+ Some guys in KTC are better friends than people I know or work with. And I've never met some of the KTC friends in person.
+ I'm glad I don't use nicotine because I suspect I'd try the new stuff like vaping or snus. 'Finger' to big tobacco for finding so many options to deliver nicotine. I'm going to think of a way to fuck with big tobacco.
+ 690 days... time flies...

Congrats brother. For 2 years, you've been paving a path for quitters to walk on. And it's a badass path in deed.

365 by 2! Congrats!

I'm a little late but big congrats on two years Z! you've been a model of consistency and inspiration. No pansy-assed whining here! Just solid quitting daily, and network building for support an accountability. I now damned well if i caved i'd face wrath or expulsion from you and a whole bunch of other solid, strong, bad assed quitters we both have taken the time and effort to put our selves out there to. That helps in a huge way to keep me quit- even this far out in a quit, there are still temptations. They will likely always be there for some of us, so rock-solid quitters like this guy Z are critical examples and connections for you new quitters if you want to really win.
One day at a time adds up in the biggest of ways, if you just commit and DO it, no excuses!

Sorry for being late but congrats on the 9th floor. You were the first KTC quitter I met in person and that experience galvanized my quit 1000 times. As they say "iron sharpens iron", if you get back to Denver the first rounds on me!

I cannot believe I made it 998 days. KTC changed my life. Anything clever or wise would only be copied from something I read on this site. Thanks KTC.

Big thanks to Zquitter! Who hosted yesterday's Southern California quitmeet. It was great to meet some local guys and some legends who have turned the tides against nicotine. We celebrate our freedom each day and it's good to be quit with all of you!

Putting this in your intro, because you've been logged in, reading the shit-storm in July '14 relating to the below issue ... and you've not only skipped weighing in on it, but you were within our pages and once again didn't post to roll (I was logged in and saw you at the bottom). Twice you've posted support in other groups, but ignored posting in your home group. Others feel we should just let you fade away ... I feel you deserve one last toss of the life ring, but it's not going to be covered with unicorns and rainbows:
29 missed days of posting in your home group since July started. That's 29 for 53, or 54.7% posting ... which is horseshit. You used to be a beacon of quit, but your light is fading ... all due to what you feel are transgressions against guys in July '14 who miss days, and get their ass handed to them for it. Somehow, you've twisted accountability around to fit your schedule, and expect others to do the same. That's not the way KTC works at day 20, and it certainly isn't the way KTC works at day 1200+.
You've mentioned the admiration you have for some of the older groups, who have guys floating by whenever they feel like it ... and how wonderful it is that they're welcomed with open arms. The July '14 DD's have been consistent since the beginning, and missing days is equivalent to a big FU to those that honor their brothers by posting roll DAILY, not when life "allows" it. It literally takes less than 30 seconds to log on and post your number and promise for the day. Acknowledging and supporting that 30 seconds is too much some days is a kick in the cock to the brothers who were there for you since the beginning. And for clarity, people sometimes miss ... that's never been the issue in July. Consistently stacking missed days together, giving no reason for going missing prior, showing no remorse for missing after ... that's what earns a quitter getting his shit pushed in, because at that point it's fairly obvious he doesn't really GAF about his bros. Protesting that tough-love reaction by missing roll on purpose ... wow. That's the definition of weak-sauce right there.
I hope to hear an audible "pop" that indicates you're pulling your head out of your ass and getting back to quitting. Many in July feel that your missing roll on purpose, in protesting treatment of half-ass quitters, is worthy of removal from our table of quit. Personally, I hope you realize that you're an enabler ... enabling shittier posting habits of those you're trying to "protect" from us meanies who hold people's feet to the fire when they go MIA. One of the very dudes you said was treated unfairly MONTHS ago when he continuously missed days is now MIA since 08/04/17, and not answering texts. I can only assume he's doing so in an act of solidarity with you missing days as well. How this helps either of your quits is beyond me.
Get back to quitting, and stop using roll as a weapon of protest. And yes, missing roll on purpose is weaponizing roll. If your quit has evolved to the point where a daily promise is of little importance to you, maybe you're right ... you're better off posting elsewhere. Not a legacy of quit to leave, IMO. Coming out of the gate hard, and fading later happens to a lot of quitters ... never did I think you would be one of them.
Flip the script.

I second Smeds emotion.

Congrats on 4 years quit Zq!
