Congrats on a great decision. Honestly, you have no idea how good it is.
Make sure you read everything you can in the WELCOME CENTER, and then read more. When you know what it means to post roll, AND CAN KEEP YOUR WORD, head over to MAY13 and post roll.
Glad to have you here, glad to have another brother to watch my back. I'll be watching yours.... 'archer'

Short tempered, lack of focus, all I can think about is that damn can. I hear 72 hours is when the physical cravings subside....Any adivce?!? I'm goin nuts over here!

Thanks for the advice. I hit the gym @ 5:30AM already, but I may have to revisit. I've got your back on your quit, bud. Best of luck to you!

Hang in there bud. Im on day 4 and it does get better. I constanlty chew gum and it seems to help quite a bit. If things get too bad for me, I just put in a pinch of the fake shit (Smokey Mountain). It helps. WalMart carries it, if you want to give it a try. Stay Strong!

yeah, go into chat and tell those jack wagons to make you laugh.
I remember the battle became fun when I would drop my jaw at some of the conversations in there.
Tell them you need to laugh. Someone will step up to the plate.
Dag use to get me laughing when he would post. "No nic, just dick."
My friend stay away from the can, avoid it and survive. I know you can do this but you need to see the joy in the quit too.
The pain won't last forever. It gets easier because you will become stronger. Right now, you aren't that strong. Get into chat and get help.
If you can't focus veg out in chat. They will keep you strong and always seemed to know what to say and what I needed at the time.
I am cheering for you. You can fight through this today. Keep your word.
Imagine what your life would be like if you had two penis' and one ball. That should get you thinking.
For me, I try to figure out the placement. Ball on bottom, penis' side by side or piggy back. I thought about that for hours and forgot about the crave.
I think I would do just fine with two penis'. I would nick name them tweedle de and tweedle dumb.

That's some good advice. I have been ripping through gum pretty damn fast too! It does help, for sure! I am trying to stay away from the "fake" cans...it's so close to real, that it just makes me go out and buy the real shit.
I heard after Day 3 it gets a lot easier...how is day 4 compared to the last 72hours in your world?

In my opinion day 4 is much much better. Yesterday was pretty tough for me, as I imagined it has been for everyone else who's gone through it. I get the feeling that the nicotine knows that its on its way out and tries to give you one more good push to get back on the wagon, but piss on that. Just look forward knowing that each day will get better and better. I take the words of those who have been doing this so much longer than myself, and each day I find that they are right. I know deep down, that I don't want to disappoint myself, my wife and family and all my brothers on here, so everyday its post roll and promise myself and everyone else to stay quit! If you didn't want to do it, you wouldn't be here either. Hang in there bud.

72 hours is the amount of time for the chemical to get out of your body. Quitting is like a roller coaster ride, you will have highs, lows, fast changes, slow changes and its like being blind folded for the ride you never really know what's coming up next. I'm going to tell you from my limited experience the ride begins flattening out. The swings get less dramatic, every now and then there is a steep climb that drags on but make sure that you check that seat belt is buckled (you've posted roll). You never know what's coming. Just Be Prepared!

Day 5 man; we are on the same schedule so I'm feeling what you are right now. The thing helping me focus is the power of this monumental decision to quit being way bigger than the habit; know what I mean? WE are quitting because WE decided it was so.
That helps me more than anything.
PM me if you want to!

Go back and read the Tom and Jenny Kern story in the Words of Wisdom section. Days two and three were the hardest for me. I finally read that story and others posted in that section and it reminded me of why I can never go back. Day 4 and thus far through day 5 have been a walk in the park compared to those two days, and the real-life stories have made my dedication and commitment stronger. If I get a crave, I go back and read those journal entries. This shit's bigger than you, it's not just your life on the line.
We got this.

I hear ya! Day three started out so much easier than 1 and 2, but the fog has settled in thick recently. Just finished a breakfast burrito about an hour ago, and for the last hour, I just can't concentrate on anything without the thought of wanting a chew, poppin up in my head. I just try to keep the control and shoot the some-bitch outta my mind

Those stories are legit. I read them before posting repsonses on here. You are 100% correct, this DECISON, not only affects me, it affects, my family and my friends. Sure, they gotta deal with a cranky me for a few days, but they get to spend more hours, days, and years with me because I chose to kick a cancer ridden demon nic bitch outta my life!
Continue to stay strong in your fight brother, as I will mine. It's my promise to all of you that I will stay true to the QUIT!

For me, Days 1-5 were the toughest, day 6 and 7 were starting to get better. I think it was around day 9 that I was actually able to concentrate on anything.
I still have foggy moments, but they are just that, moments. Most of the time I feel normal (or as normal as I can).

Congrats on Day 3. Day 3 sucks. Sucks bad. And for your sake, LOOT hopes this is the worst day in recent memory because if it is, you'll never forget it. You forget, you die at the hands of an active addiction.
Think about it.

Never forget the SUCK!!! It is a the most valuable weapon you will have against the Nic......Remembering these days and how shitty it made you feel! Good days are ahead but EMBRACE THE SUCK!!
Keep on Quitter!!

The fog has lifted for the most part. Today is the best I have felt when I woke up. For the first time, I feel good during this quit! Up until today, all I have been doing is reading on here about how the fog lifts and I just felt, over the lst three days, that it wasn't. been feeling like a 'zombie' since Wednesday. But like I said, when I woke up today, i 'crackup' and tell the nic bitch to 'Finger'
Have a great Saturday, Quitters!

Hey congrats Jason keep up the good work. If you keep using the same intro (just add to it) it becomes like your quit journal.

Nice post, quitter. Beware the traps. You will have those great days, but sure as shooting, the addiction will throw you a curve. That's when it gets real. You have reached a fork in the path. Now, in my opinion, what dictates the path you take is how well you're prepared. If you have a plan in place, you'll enact that plan and take the quit road. If you have become complacent because you think the quit is bullet proof, you will fail at this point and be right back where we all started.
I can't stress enough how important to have a plan in place. Have some brothers or sisters you can text or call. Crying and whining are not required. Most times all I needed was a distraction. Send a handful of quitters a text, and you'll be busy until that crave passes. Just that simple.
Reach out if you need anything.

Great advice. I was tempted all weekend. Went partying with my buddies, and everyone had lippers in. I kept true to my QUIT though, and through intense tempation, I prevailed. Felt very proud of myself and the efforts I have taken. I beat the fog, and punched tempation in the face (This time). Great motivators when you see that you actually POSES the ability, to tell the nic bitch to 'Finger'

On day 7 now...The fog has lifted. I will never forget those first 3 or 4 days of the QUIT. Talk about a motivation to never start again....once you know what it takes to get that fog to lift, it's impossible to forget. Thanks to all of you, I was able to survive my first week of quit. Nothin but high hopes for the rest of this quit!!!! Quit on Quitters!

I can't stress enough how important to have a plan in place. Have some brothers or sisters you can text or call. Crying and whining are not required. Most times all I needed was a distraction. Send a handful of quitters a text, and you'll be busy until that crave passes. Just that simple.Â
Reach out if you need anything.
Great advice. I was tempted all weekend. Went partying with my buddies, and everyone had lippers in. I kept true to my QUIT though, and through intense tempation, I prevailed. Felt very proud of myself and the efforts I have taken. I beat the fog, and punched tempation in the face (This time). Great motivators when you see that you actually POSES the ability, to tell the nic bitch to 'Finger'
Nice victory there, but that was not a good plan. I have seen many quits die embarassing deaths in that situation. I actually COMPLETELY stopped drinking for a while when I first quit. I knew for a fact that I couldn't trust myself after a few beers, and being quit was far more important. For most folks to succeed, quitting has to be the absolute top priority. I was no different. You've proven that you have the ability, so you don't need to prove it repeatedly. Take the safe route, man.
Another thing: those buddies will probably cause problems in the near future in that situation. Seen that personally. Right now they think you'll be back on the can in a few days. In a week or two, they'll realize you're succeeding and then the bullshit will start. Unless your drinking buddies are different than just about every other person's here, they'll try to tempt you back to the can. That's when you hit that fork in the road. I was surprised what pricks some of them turned out to be.
I'm not trying to be an ass here, just illustrating some of the traps. I figure you'll get some less understanding comments, though.

No offense at all. I definitely see the logic in that kind of thought. My buddies are the same guys that all your drinking buddies are I'm sure. I am going to have to take that advice this weekend. Maybe just take a couple weekends off until I am better at controling my cravings.
As with the can though, I would not want the QUIT to control my life. My buddies, as big a pains in the asses they can be, are still pretty good friends. I will just have to see who the REAL friends are, and who the jealous ones are...it should be pretty easy to tell here in the next couple weeks, right?
Thanks again for the post. Like I said, no offense taken from it. Great advice, and great food for thought.

Jhaw, there was a recent post about percentage of caves that are associated with alcohol. Since I'm dealing with old age dementia I can't remember who wrote it or where it was at. If I find it later i'll link it to you. I really suggest more than a couple weeks. That doesn't mean you have to avoid your friends, but most vets suggest avoiding the alcohol. If your friends are supportive that would be great but if not; temptation, craving, peer pressure and booze is damn dangerous. I can't tell you how many cavers have told the same story.

You got my point perfectly. You just gotta feel it out. I've still got some close friends that dip, chew, or smoke. I don't harrass them and they don't tempt me. I wish they'd quit, and they know I'll help them when they get ready. They respect me for doing what they haven't been able to do. They don't bring spit bottles in my truck or crap like that anymore. But, there were a few who tried the temptation, mainly just trying to be funny. "You know you want one.", and waving the can my way. I'd only let em slide once.
The quit doesn't have to control your life indefinitely, just until you get everything sorted out. Only you will know when that happens. As long as you see the trap, my work here is done. Quit on.........

Day 9 today. Almost at the double digits. I know it's still VERY early in my quit, but already, I am feeling better about it. I don't get the intense cravings at work like I did in days 1-3, but I still get cravings. They are getting a little easier to handle. Every monring when I post roll, and I see that quit number go up...it makes me feel proud of the decision that we all made. Quit on brothers, and as always, thank y'all for your support

Great job! It will only continue to get better. I promise. There will be rough spots here and there, which is when the support network is invaluable.
Hang in there, one day at a time.
I quit today just like I have for the previous 335 days. If I can do it, anyone can.

Just worry about today. No need to look ahead. 335 seemed like some huge, impossibility back in my first few days of quit. The days will come, the number will grow and the time will come when you don't even think about it. Just do the same thing each day that has brought you success so far:
Post roll
quit
repeat tomorrow.

Just today. Simply today. Tomorrow? We'll see you in roll. Then we'll say the same thing. I say the same thing every day at 179. Just today. That's all I have to do.

Yeah those one day at a time's add up faster than you might think.
jhawth, you're kicking ass going on double digits, quit muscles should be feeling pretty good right now. But......once that post fog / early quit adrenaline wears off around the 20's you may feel what we call a little funk. No worries, if it hits you just keep posting roll and push right on through that bitch. It'll only last for a few days at most. AS looT says, "forewarned is fore skinned"........as if that really makes any sense?
And you should feel proud.....9 days ago you made the best decision of your life.

Thanks y'all! Truly! I didn't even think about "quit adrenaline" Makes sense. I have felt pretty invincible as far as chew goes, but I have not felt that "funk" yet. Now I have a chance to create a plan to get through it! Thanks for the adivce!!!!
I promise all y'all to stay strong. I promise to contiune the Quit. I now have three (3) groups that I need to post roll in everyday. It just increases my accountability!

Short tempered, lack of focus, all I can think about is that damn can. I hear 72 hours is when the physical cravings subside....Any adivce?!? I'm goin nuts over here!
I just had to laugh at at whoever said "72 hours is when the physical cravings subside..." Yeah, right! Day 8 for me and the cravings are so freaking intense its not even funny! I'm on my 3rd box of Girl Scout cookies today. My mouth is "burnt up" from sunflower seeds, I'm dreaming of taking a dip in a room full of crowded people, I'm pissing and shitting like a racehorse, I'm thinking I'm Bi_polar and the dip kind of medicated me -- so I don't know maybe it's all in my head, but it sure feels like a physical craving! I'm not buying that shit at all -- good thing is I'm a crazy sonofabitch right now, but I'm a still quit crazy sonofabitch!

The nic bitch knows you are serious...and she is having a fit. Way to bring the quit. One day at a time...if not one day, one hour...if not one hour one minute...if not one minute 1 breath.
We have all come out ok on the other side of the suck. Breathe it, taste it, remember it. You never have to do this again.

the 72 hours is the physical withdrawl for when nicotene is in your system (close to fact of being filtered out of your blood)
its all a mind game my friend and use the tools here on the site that we are trying to teach.
And remember that you are strong and that you can do this.
great job and keep up the good work

OK -- I'm a real dick right now so I apologize in advance. Thanks for the encouragment, but i've resigned myself to the fact that its just going to be a daily fucking fight.
I think the "it gets better" is a myth -- kind of like when your a young married man and all you think about is getting laid and your wife's ok with once a week. Everyone tells you, just wait, some day she is going to want it all the time. So you live every day of your life thinking just wait it out it will get better and that day never comes until one day you wake up and she wants it all the time and your too fucking tired! HAHAHA!
I'm just going to take it one day at a time like you guys that have done it before me and if your bulshitting me about it getting better that's better than me dipping.

I think the "it gets better" is a myth -- kind of like when your a young married man and all you think about is getting laid and your wife's ok with once a week. Everyone tells you, just wait, some day she is going to want it all the time. So you live every day of your life thinking just wait it out it will get better and that day never comes until one day you wake up and she wants it all the time and your too fucking tired!  HAHAHA! Â
I'm just going to take it one day at a time like you guys that have done it before me and if your bulshitting me about it getting better that's better than me dipping.
It gets better, but it takes some time. You'll see......
First things first. Nobody ever told me that when I got married. Nobody told me about how it would be 16 years in with three kids either. I digress!
chukar - We talked a bit in Chat. The one thing I can guarentee you is that it will get better in time. You are not the one guy in tens of thousands that is different. You're different in your own special way, but not different when it comes to quit. That bitch is telling you that you're different because she knows you're leaving her. Just like my wife, I act like I'm about to check out and it's a night of porn. four months later we'll repeat the process. I digress again.
You are right about one thing. It is a daily battle. You must fight every day to stay quit. The fight gets easier with some tougher battles mixed in but nothing like what you are going through now. Stay the course and get through today. We'll attack tomorrow when it gets here. You control this. Only you can make the decision to stuff your face with poison. You are much stronger than this and you will win.

Short tempered, lack of focus, all I can think about is that damn can. I hear 72 hours is when the physical cravings subside....Any adivce?!? I'm goin nuts over here!
I just had to laugh at at whoever said "72 hours is when the physical cravings subside..." Yeah, right! Day 8 for me and the cravings are so freaking intense its not even funny! I'm on my 3rd box of Girl Scout cookies today. My mouth is "burnt up" from sunflower seeds, I'm dreaming of taking a dip in a room full of crowded people, I'm pissing and shitting like a racehorse, I'm thinking I'm Bi_polar and the dip kind of medicated me -- so I don't know maybe it's all in my head, but it sure feels like a physical craving!  I'm not buying that shit at all -- good thing is I'm a crazy sonofabitch right now, but I'm a still quit crazy sonofabitch!
The nic bitch knows you are serious...and she is having a fit. Way to bring the quit. One day at a time...if not one day, one hour...if not one hour one minute...if not one minute 1 breath.
We have all come out ok on the other side of the suck. Breathe it, taste it, remember it. You never have to do this again.
the 72 hours is the physical withdrawl for when nicotene is in your system (close to fact of being filtered out of your blood)
its all a mind game my friend and use the tools here on the site that we are trying to teach.
And remember that you are strong and that you can do this.
great job and keep up the good work

You sound like a young Diesel. I thought it was a myth too. Read my "Tend Your Garden" story in words of wisdom.
Its all fucking true. If it wasn't I would probably have seeked some dudes out and fitted them for cement shoes. (I'm italian, Sicilian actually)
Like that dumb song says, "you want it all...and you want it NOW". Just like I did. Then when people said it would get better with time I'd think, "when Mother fucker????? Give me a DATE...AND TIME". But they couldn't, nobody can.
That's the part that pissed me off most. I felt like I was being punished (even though I wasn't, I was actually setting myself free) but didn't know the sentence. When I was young I'd get grounded for 3 days, which sucked, but at least I knew in 3 days I'd be "free" again. Hell even when you go to prision they give you a release date .
Quitting chew...nobody can say for sure when you will feel better. I could give you a pretty good estimate of about 70 days, and I know you're not supposed to look ahead, just focus on TODAY, which is very true , but it is human nature to look ahead. Just don't focus on the future...keep your head on TODAY.
If feeling better was a myth , this site would crumble like a house of cards. But it won't because this site is built on fucking massive pillars cemented into concrete cement.
You will feel better...with time. Keep racking up +1's everyday, and when you eventually reach the hof, if you don't feel better...give me your address and I will fly to your house and you can punch me in the throat. Deal?

Nail on the head!!! I will fly to you and punch you in the throat if it's all bullshit after 100 days!
Thanks to everyone AND I APOLOGIZE FOR HIGHJACKING JHAWTHS INTRO -- I'M A MYOPIC SELF SERVING BITCH RIGHT NOW and I didn't think before I started pissing down my legs on his intro -- I did start an intro, but a BIG APOLOGY to JHAWTH -- I'm proud of him -- kid seems to have his shit together!

Day 9 today. Almost at the double digits. I know it's still VERY early in my quit, but already, I am feeling better about it. I don't get the intense cravings at work like I did in days 1-3, but I still get cravings. They are getting a little easier to handle. Every monring when I post roll, and I see that quit number go up...it makes me feel proud of the decision that we all made. Quit on brothers, and as always, thank y'all for your support
-J
Great job! It will only continue to get better. I promise. There will be rough spots here and there, which is when the support network is invaluable.
Hang in there, one day at a time.
I quit today just like I have for the previous 335 days. If I can do it, anyone can.
Thanks Kubrick! 335 days is BOSS STATUS! Proud of you bud. I can't wait til I get there. Not TRY to get there, I AM going to get there!
Just worry about today. No need to look ahead. 335 seemed like some huge, impossibility back in my first few days of quit. The days will come, the number will grow and the time will come when you don't even think about it. Just do the same thing each day that has brought you success so far:
Post roll
quit
repeat tomorrow.
Just today. Simply today. Tomorrow? We'll see you in roll. Then we'll say the same thing. I say the same thing every day at 179. Just today. That's all I have to do.
Same for me at 892. Just today. I have no goal other than being quit today. Well, I hope to help some of you guys out in the process. But, mainly..... I'm quit.
Side note: Boelker is a badass. I've actually met him. These are real people, fighting real battles with us every day.

Hey y'all! Just wanted to post an update on my Quit:
At the 2 week mark today. The cravings are less and less intense, but after talking to some of the veterans, I am learning to become more aware of the "invincible" feeling. I've read from day 14-20 that you feel like you've kicked the habit. The site can become old and feel tiresome, the roll call and your supporters seem less important....baslically, that you feel that you have killed the nic bitch. They've made me very aware to not fall victim to this, and that after that inital "quit adrenaline" breaks back, if you're not ready, you could be headed for a cave.
I have created a plan for me to get through today, and without trying to think too far ahead, develop a plan for the next couple days ahead. I've come so far and want to continue the "clean" streak! I'm proud that I have made it this far, and look forward to all the +1's I can add to my total quit days.
Thanks for readin, and hope y'all stay strong with your Quits!

1 Month along:
Today, I hit one month of quit. To be honest, I thought this was never a possiblilty when I started. I was feelin so despaired that I wouldn't make it to even 2 weeks. The help from my quit brothers (texts, PM, e-mails, calls, roll call) is the reason I got this far.
I wanna give a special shout-out to mfkuss, Boelker62, Diplessinjax and Sportsfan231 for saving my quit. They have been there every step of the way and have kept me entertained with hilarious texts, and support. Also want to shout out to Wastepanel who has been a secret inspiration to me. Leading other Quit Groups to the HOF and really caring about other people's quits. He and I haven't talked much, but the few conversations we have had are uplifting, and it's awesome to see him help so many. You're all Badasses!!!!!!! 'archer'
I know this is way too early to be an HOF speech or to be shouting from the rooftops, but I am so proud and thankful to be 1 month chew free. An accomplishment, that until today, seemed impossible. Thank all of you and quit on!

Why wouldnt you....You sir are. Bad ass quitter... Proud to be a may quitter w you

Today is my older Sister, Lauren's birthday. She passed away on September 16, 2012 from Cervical Cancer. It has only been 6 months. She would have been thirty years old. I turned 26 on Saturday. You can see how this is tearing me up? She was just too damn young to go, and she died from a disease that was ultimately started by the nic bitch, in stick form. Dammit all, in light of that, all I can think about is throwin that lipper in to help calm the emotions that are stirring today. At day 35, I am able to control the crave, but it has been the hardest day since Day 2-3. I'll hold strong, but today is just....tough.

I bet not, stay strong man, you got this your a bad ass quitter too! I quit with you today. Going to PM my number to you right now in case you need it.

So sorry for you loss. Do the only things your sister would want today, Remember the good times and stay quit! Chew and smokes don't care who they kill. Take care of yourself. Reach out if you need anything. For yourself your sister, stay quit!

I'm sorry for your loss Jason. I am proud to be quit with you and have you in the May group with me. Stay strong and stay quit. You are a bad ass quitter and our group is fortunate to have you. Let me know if you need anything.

Sorry for your loss. I know this is a tough time for you, but you gotta Hang in there.... You can do it!!!
Thank you, sir! I appreciate the support!

Sorry for your loss brother.
Let's dedicate our quits to Lauren today. Honor her by staying strong.
-
Stay strong. Stress + sadness + dip = stress, sadness, and dip. Adding dip doesn't fix anything or make life any easier. Kick that nic bitch once in the nuts for me.
-
Stay strong and focused on your quit through these tough times. I can relate to your feelings that a dip will somehow makes things all better.......BUT I promise you that you will feel way worse after any initial or "good" feelings you might experience, if any, for a couple of moments if you listen to the nic bitch!!! May she rest in peace and I hope you will dedicate your quit to your sister. You CAN and will work through this!!!

Tough stuff for sure. Condolences to your family. I can see where today will be very tough, I can hardly imagine.
Just know that putting a lipper in will make it no easier, in fact I bet it would make it worse. Reflect on the good times and memories you had with your sister. You don't need a lipper to do that.
Quit with you today. Hang in there, bro.

Hang in there brother. Do something else instead. What did she like to do? Find a way to honor her memory without associating it with tobacco or nicotine. Tomorrow when you are still a quitter you will be happy that you did.
-
Jason,
None of us can relate to your loss and what you are feeling today but we can be there with a ton of support and I have faith in your quit because you are a friggin bad ass quitter! I quit with you!!!
-
Taking a dip will NOT bring your sister back. It might shorten the time till you see her again, but that is about all.
Stay strong brother, we will get you through this low.
-
Stay strong brother! All your KTC brothers thoughts and prayers are with you and you loved ones.
Proud to quit with bad ass quitters like you

Short tempered, lack of focus, all I can think about is that damn can. I hear 72 hours is when the physical cravings subside....Any adivce?!? I'm goin nuts over here!
Jhawth - remember this nightmare below? 300 days ago seems like a world away, right? I wanted to bump this up to the top for you today, because while milestone days are a cause to pause and pat ourselves on the back, they are also a great time to reflect on what we've sccomplished. And you have come a long, long way. One day at a time. Congratulations - I'll see you at a year next!

Congratulations on earning a comma today, Jason! Honored to quit with you.
