Hey guys, my name is Patrick. I'm 34 years old and have dipped for the better part of the last 20 years. I dipped cope, skoal, timberwolf, grizzly. There were not too many that I didn't try. I had a 5 can a week habit. I am ashamed to say I had quit for eight months last year, but when hunting season started I fell back into my old ways. Last week I went to the doctor and my blood pressure was really high. I decided that was enough. I am on Day 4, its been a rough weekend but I made it. The headaches are worse now than last time. I have been chewing toothpicks like crazy. I need to order some of the fake stuff.

Welcome Patrick,
And congrats on 4 days! Nicotine is out of your body, and now the mental battle begins. Called the suck around here. It's where your body thinks it needs poison but your body is uneducated, it doesn't need it, that is a lie. Your body will learn to perform at a higher level without it. It we'll be the best decision of your life.
So let's get started. Go read 1-4 in the intro area and let's learn how to post roll today in the May 2015 class. We do that EARLY every morning. That's your promise you will not use any NICOTINE for the next 24 hours.
Then we here at KTC will support and educate you own how to win the mental battles one at a time.
PM me if you have any questions with posting roll. Welcome aboard.

habit. addiction. I am ashamed to say I had quit stopped for eight months last year, but when hunting season started I fell back into my old ways, because I allowed a poison to control me. Last week I went to the doctor and my blood pressure was really high. I decided that was enough and also the fact that I despise nicotine with every damn fiber in my being. I am on Day 4, its been a rough weekend but I made it. The headaches are worse now than last time. I have been chewing toothpicks like crazy. I need to order some of the fake stuff and embrace this life at KTC because after reading until my eyes have felt like they were going to pop out of me head, I realize that my addiction can not and will not be controlled on my own.
Welcome Pat. You had a couple of typos in your intro so I decided to fix them for you, all better now. I like your attitude especially what you typed in bold. I welcome you to read some more and to read the Welcome center here (http://forum.killthecan.org/forum/55560/) and then get over here to May (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/10927055/91/) and introduce yourself to your fellow quit brothers and post roll.

Way to (attempt to) post roll. Don't worry, you will figure it out soon. In my signature are links to videos on how to post roll. A let to this quit is to be involved and to make contacts. Posting roll is an important step.

Never was there a truer statement. Welcome aboard brother. Use your tools, make your contacts, and commit to your quit. You got this! I quit with you today

Thanks for all the support. I finally do understand that I am an addict. Its good to see the proof in you guys that it can be done. I called my hunting partner last night and told him if hunting got in the way of my quit that I would hang up my shotgun. I dont think he believed me or liked it but I feel confident that I will let nothing get in my way. After my first failed attempt I posted roll like a champ this morning. There really are a lot of instructions if you take the time to read them.

Good for you, Patrick! Post roll (your promise), early, every damn day! I quit with you today!
You've got my digits. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything. Be sure to start growing that tree of accountability by trading digits with your quit brothers in May 2015.

Nice job posting roll. Don't just feel "confident" something won't get in your way. Flat out do it and stomp anything that gets in your way. You have one goal today and that is to stay quit. Nothing else is as important right now. Nothing! You can do this and it takes the will to battle today. Quit with you today.

Day seven- I feel like crap today, by far the worst day yet. Yesterday I worked with a friend who dipped all day long. I told him about the site and offered him some fake chew but he laughed it off. Oh well I'll keep working on him, hopefully my quit will rub off on him. After one week I have had headaches, anxiety, cotton mouth and loss of focus. The oral fixation has been bad but I will keep chewing the hell out of anything but tobacco. One week down, the rest of my life to go.

Day 11- I feel really good today. I work as a project inspector and today was my first paving project during my quit. I was worried about the cravings but they didn't come today. I used some mint chew and some fireballs but had a easy day. The headaches that I had the first week are gone. I know the fight is never over and tommorow is a new day, but I am going to enjoy the good days when they come.

Right on Patrick. I am a PM for a Grading and Paving Co. and it was tough for me in the beginning. Nearly everyone on all our crews dip. They were ruthless when they found out I was quitting. The jokes on them now! I'm free and they are still "slaving" away. 11 days is huge brother! Well done!
-
Good deal brother! Don't worry about the co-workers its always gonna be something. I'm not huge fan of psycology but mind over matter is huge to me! Dip would be delicious about now but instead I think of all the reasons I quit! Odaat! One addict trying to help another damn proud to be quit with you!

Day 14 - after having a few good days, I had a strange feeling come over me this morning. I didn't think about dipping, but my first thought was how I didn't really need this site anymore. I had made it two weeks and I could do it on my own. I posted roll but it kind of bothered me all day. After lunch it hit me, my brain had replaced "i need nicotine" with "you don't nee KTC". Definitely some rewiring going on in my noggin today. I will definitely be back tomorrow to post roll but have any of you had similar thoughts?

Yes, for sure. I have a suggestion. Each time the nic-bitch advances the idea "you don't need to be here" You remind her that once you receive the gift of quit, it is your responsibility to pass the gift of quit on freely to others. The nic-bitch hates this.
Trust me with quit, the more you give...the stronger your quit.

Damn well put scowick! It definitely helps staying involved! Keep your head son I said it once I say it again the bitch can convince you your gonna die if you don't get a dip! Stay focused and be strong in your quit! ODAAT! EDD!

Day 23- feel like a zombie. Had a lond weekend but both kids and wife got sick. Finally got them better and I wake up with a stomach virus last night, probly from the kids doctors office. Don't think I could get a dip now if I wanted to- would puke my guts up. Im not having a lot of cravings anymore. It pisses me off when I think about how long I waited to start my quit. And the damage I have done because of it.

I felt the same way Duck man!
I was pissed also, like I was conned into it when I started.
Still makes me mad. Use that anger to help others. And some words of encouragement..... It gets better. I'm at day 96 and my romancing thoughts of the can are over. I hate it. It's a lie. I hate lies.
I quit with you today.
-
Day 31- one month in and I had my first nicotine dream. I dreamed I caved with a can of snuff then threw it out and started smoking. I woke up pissed off and then embarrassed. Just proves that this addiction can't be cured, it can only be beaten back one day at a time.

Don't think so NB..
Congrats on a month!

Day 40
Time has gone by pretty fast lately. I have traded counting the minutes and hours with days. Other than my nic dream at day 31 dip is not the first thing I think about when i wake up. More often than not I think about posting roll.
One thing I have noticed is food tastes very different. I have switched coffee brands three times in 40 days to finally come to the realization it is me not the coffee.
Ordered a variety pack of Jakes chew and 4 cans of Hooch yesterday. This morning I counted 3 cans of Smokey Mtn., 1 can of Mint snuff and 2 packs of sunflower seeds on my desk. I like the idea of having fake snuff alot more than using it.
A few months ago i would have said I wasn't addicted to the nicotine just liked the habit of dipping. That blows my mind now, I was a slave and it pisses me off that I couldn't see it.

What Grady said is the absolute truth Patrick. I chewed grizzly, cope black, cope straight, and got knows what else for 8 years starting way back in college and all the way until this week about 4 days ago now. It is a struggle. I told myself I quitted for times again and again but really I stopped using it usually cause I maxxed out my credit card or couldn't find bottles to take back to the store (probably cause i had chew spit in all of them).
The point is...don't make up some excuse not to do it. If you want it you have to own it. Like Larry Wilmore always says on his show. "Keep it 100!"
I am on Day 4...headaches, nausea, hot flashes, water retention, mood swings, lack of appetite... AND I wouldn't change a thing. And you shouldn't either. Do what is right for you and lean on your brothers for support my friend!

Day 50
The biggest thing I have discovered so far is that battling addiction is a grind not a quick fix. Changing my daily routine has been important for me. I avoid the gas station where I bought snuff. I keep hard candy, seeds, and fake on hand in case I need it. I try to be aware of triggers that will bring on a crave.
I choose to enjoy the daily grind and when it gets tough I read through the site. I especially like the introductions, seeing the transformation from newbies to bad ass quitters.
Glad to be quit with all of you.

Told you men before the Quit is strong in this one.
You are very mature in your thoughts young duck Hunter. Stay strong and always share your given gift of wisdom.

You are here for a reason. This is not by chance. I quit with you today.

Day 68
I woke up with pink eye Sunday morning. It had spread like wildfire through my house this month. I had never had it before but it feels like I stuck my head in a sand pit and blinked. Took the day off yesterday to go to the doctor. When I get home I dropped my cell phone into my cup of water. Who does that? Anyway I had the house to myself for the rest of the afternoon with no means of communication. The old me would have filled his lip and been relived to have a few hours that I didn't have to worry about being caught. I'm talking about a good 3-4 hours of lip packing with only the cat watching, and I hate the cat anyway.
But that was the old me. He was overweight with high blood pressure. He rarely exercised. He avoided the dentist. He would avoid social events where he couldn't dip. He would find reasons to avoid his family.
Today I have got my bp under control, exercise daily, I'm eating right and I'm losing weight. I have a dentist appointment in two weeks and I love doing things with the family. Quitting is by far one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Day 82
I have been meaning to add an entry here but the last two weeks have been busy. The quit is going great. I am still using toothpicks, gum and fake to get me through the work day, but I rarely need any at home anymore. I'm playing golf with some guys from church on Thursday. I haven't played in a year so it should be interesting, I dont know if I have ever hit a golf ball without a dip.
I have a dentist appointment in a couple of hours. Until this morning I haven't been worried, but now every cancer story I have ever read is running through my mind. I am mad that I did this to myself for so long. I will give an update this afternoon.
Update: Got the all clear from the dentist. I did have a few cavities on the side I dipped on but that is manageable.
* if anyone hasn't been to the dentist I recommend making an appointment asap. I think knowing is better than worrying.
-
Day 131
I can't believe I have gone almost 50 days without a post in here. On Day 82 i went to the dentist and got the all clear, but today I had to go back because I had lost a part of a filling. I'm not a fan. She started drilling a bit too quick then pumped me up with another shot and now 4 hours later the feeling is just starting to come back to the upper portion of my face.
The quit is going good. I had a small battle last week that took me by surprise. It was my first real craving in several weeks. It hit me on the way home from work after a long day. I thought it over for a minute and then rolled on home. I don't know if the cravings ever go away or just get farther and farther apart.

Roll Tide Roll! I remember going dentist having crown put on and on way home jaw still numb put the fatty in, get home and had shit all over my cheek and my shirt. Now how gross is that? One day at a time that is over! Quit on my friend! Freedom is awesome!
-
Day 175
The last couple of months I have begun helping with the spreadsheet for May. It has been surprising how beneficial it is for me.
I feel more connected to my group and I have reached out to some fellow quitters that I wouldn't have otherwise.
I guess the moral of the story is to find your way to be active in this community and then dig in.

Day 214
This weekend kicks off college football season and it will be the first domino to fall for my feared biggest triggers. Football, tailgating and hunting season. I purposefully started my quit on the day after hunting season closed. I am not sure what to expect. It will be an interesting time. I will be prepared for whatever comes and looking forward to conquering these hurdles.

Patrick there is no shame in going back to using those crutches we had early on. I just picked up 3 bags of sunflower seeds.
The shame comes from being to proud to admit that we are above going back to basics.

You got that right Rawls! The quit is strong around here.
Pab- I cant wait to watch the Tide roll in Dallas Saturday night.
Kize-man thanks for the support. I don't care if I'm on day 217 or 17 it always feels good to have someone in your corner. PM is in your inbox.
I still use the fake while I am at work, but like candoit said I need to make sure I have some with me at all times just in case.
The cravings don't come on very often but at times can still be pretty intense. Yesterday I took off work to take my son to the doctor and didn't have any fake with me. I stopped at walmart to get some smokey mtn. but they were out. My eyes immediately went to the skoal rack. I have to admit that I was tempted for a second or two but I doubled back and found a bag of seeds and rolled on.
I don't know if it gets easier or the cravings become less intense but I do know that I wouldn't trade the last 217 days for anything.

My quit is a lot different at one year than I thought it would be. I told myself I would quit like hell for one year, give it all I had and ride out in a blaze of glory.
I did it! I have gone 365 days at 100%, something I am very proud of. Somewhere in the mid 200s I realized that there was no need in leaving at one year. As a matter of fact now that I am here it seems pretty stupid to set arbitrary finish lines.
All I know is I will be here tomorrow morning posting 366. I couldn't have gotten here without the help of many bad ass quitters on this site. Thanks for everything guys and gals.

Congrats on your 1 year quit Patrick!

Patrick, proud as hell to call you my brother in quit this past year. You may not know this but you have played a crucial part in my own quit and the quit of many Misfits and others at KTC. Proud to quit with you today!

Congrats on 1 year Patrick.
Thank you for inspiring me to push forward and start posting roll. Without you and people like you on this site we all would fail.
Enjoy your day and your continued quit.
I quit with you brother!

Day 445
I have been fighting the complacency bug for a while now so I came back to where it all started to get centered. It always does me some good to reread and remember the struggles and victories(I wish I had posted in here daily). I guess I am just rambling but my point is this- write an introduction and update it often. It will help you more than you can imagine.

Nice job posting 500 consecutive days. Proud to have made this journey with you my friend, you have taught many quitters here how paying it forward works.
