So I have decided to quit, I have prepped my self as much as I can. I have the gum and gummi bears, enough to last a small army the rest of the spring. I have my quitting list posted on my desk at work. I am thinking of all the reasons I should quit and while I am excited to be quit I am completely terrified of tomorrow. I have tried quitting before and it hurt. I am using the patches this time. (if anyone has tried this with the patches, please feel free to drop a line). I am ready to quit and stay quit.

I remember the fear that grips you now.
I too thought it would be impossible to quit.
I too found this site and after five minutes knew I was in the right place.
I posted roll giving my word of honor that I would not use NICOTINE in any way, shape or form, for that day.
I kept my word.
That was one thousand five hundred and nine days ago.
If you are a man of your word, You can do this.
P.S. No nicotine allowed.

Hey man, I tried quitting too before I found this site. Twice. The first time cold turkey, but didn't mean it. Made it a week and chose to dip with family. Second time, I had the patches. Sure they helped some but I still wanted to die on days 13 and 14 and I caved. Then I found this site. I've been nic free (including patches and gum) for 26 days.
The point is, you go through hell even on the patch. Cold turkey sounds tough but you can do it!
I've been using coffee grounds lately and they have helped a lot.
As you'll read on here, drink the KTC kool aid. It works.
1. Post roll.
2. Keep your word
3. Repeat
It's that simple. Just make the promise every day. PM people for numbers. There's tons of people on here who are glad to help including me.

Choosing to live one day at a time. That's bad ass man.

Lose the patches, kick the bitch in the face and you're all in at KTC.
Good to have you, but only pussies use patches. You got this.

I have done this first day with an amazing amount of support here on KTC and my family.

That's the way it's done, brother. Rinse and repeat. Welcome.
EDIT: Make sure you post day 2 tomorrow if that's the case. One more day and you're out of the fog after that.

Day 2 of the quit.
Every last part of my livingroom is a trigger apparently. but all in all I would say it was a good evening. I did wake up terrified and screaming last night covered in sweat, but I am listing that one as a normal occurrence.
Thank you guys for the help and camaraderie in quitting.

one day at a time any time of the day.
A couple of things...
If you've been here, posting roll consistently for XX days, you can offer advice.
You see, being here and staying here grants you the right to share with other dudes what you know.
What helps you...
What challenges you...
What you're good at...
And where you might need help...
Take a look when you get the chance - There's a dude who is today posting a Day 1.
Reach out to that guy - He's ripe for your Day 3 advice, believe me.
Stay here. Stay accountable. Stay consistent.
Take it from a butthole who didn't heed that sage advice, bro.
You're doing great I'm glad to be quit with you today.

So it is day 3 and I am amazed how much better I feel. I mean I still didnt sleep much and I feel like I got worked over with a sock of quarters and I have random headaches. but overall much less of all of it. but beyond that I do not feel like I can't pull this off anymore. I am lookin at the end of the 72 hours this afternoon and I am totally sure it is gonna end in success.

That's a great attitude to have man. 72 hours is a huge milestone. Keep kickin' ass.
Proud to be quit with you.

I'm stoked for you, brother.. Your body is going to ache, constantly for about the first 5 days from the withdrawals.. If you havent get you a can of Smokey Mountain from Wal-Mart.. A nicotine, tobacco free substitute to use in intense cravins.. Its sure saved my ass several times.. Get your quit brothers numbers too, thats a huge help and also makes you accountable.
If you need mine # or anything, just holler at me bud..

It is day 4 of the quit and I am feeling worse than yesterday. javascript:emoticon("'zombie'")
I woke up this morning with the crave in my head and soaked in night sweat. my neck and head ache and i have put on 10 pounds over the last few days with all the salty snacks and water and soda and everything else I am taking to kill the crave and stay quit.
But none of that matters because it is simply proof of how desparate the nic bitch really is. I know that I will feel a million times better when I reach the HOF, and I stick with it. When these days of pain are over I want to remember them firmly in my head I want to remember the night sweats and the body ache and everything else so I wont find myself on day 1 again.
I am thankful to my brothers who are quit with me today and those that have and will quit.

You're doing great man! Keep it up! Have you tried some fake chew or coffee grounds to take the edge off? That helped me from gaining too much weight. I haven't checked my weight yet though, I'm scared to lol.
On a completely side and random note, this little zombie over here is dancing to the beat of my music that I have on right now. Slightly weird.

Quitting is most important.

I havent tried the fake stuff yet .. I would like something to make it easier but I dont want to keep in the habit of putting something in my lip ya know .. Im kinda torn .. and I have no idea where to get it locally aside from walmart and thats kinda out of the way for me .. i will check fred meyers later when i go to lunch ..
That is awesome that the zom-b is groovin to your tunes .. I was listening to Harry Belafonte and for some reason it made perfect sense to have it there explaining my mood ..

I hear ya. I had an "substitute addiction" thread I created because I was worried about being addicted to coffee grounds (which is what I'm using now). From what I've read, eventually the substitute addictions just "go away" one day. Sometimes at day 50 and sometimes at day 200. I've already gone hours without it on a couple of occasions so that has eased my fears somewhat.
That being said, if you can do it without having anything in the lip, more power to you. I think that's awesome. Kicking it all to the curb in one fell swoop.

I'm proud of ya PB.. Stick at it man, the suck is different for everyone.. Keep pounding down the water, and worry about your weight gain later.. You're on the back end of the worst part of it, you should start to see the light at the end of the tunnel real soon!!
For me, I figured that I'll kick the nic now, and worry about the oral fixation later as I trusted what I read was right about the need for the fixation will just leave.. It certainly did for me.. Since I play college ball, I just use Smokey Mountain when I'm on the field and around dip.. Otherwise I dont need it.. It left me at around 40 days..
Keep on keeping on brother. One day at a time!

We're all familiar with the Tyrannosaurus Rex and his small, visceral arms.
The T-Rex is thought to once have sported arms that were were (in size) comparable to its frame. However, through years and years of evolution, the T-Rex's arms shrunk through evolution. The T-Rex became more and more reliant on his giant steel trap mouth to clench things that his arms became useless.
Yet, they hung there on his chest like a limp dick. (Which is ironic as masterbation would be impossible with those little thing and I would be a raging asshole of epic proportions as well...)
As quitters, we will always have the albotross of use attached to us. Be it our addiction, or that pocket in our lips that doesn't quite heal back, we will always carry these like small, visceral arms.
If I was a sex starved T-Rex, I'd be out fucking random trees or something. Fuck raging around about why I can't listen to the Devinyl's without screaming and eating a random species. I'd find something that would get me (off) through the day. I'd fuck a turtle. Those basterds are slow, and worse case scenerio, I'd rub against the shell enough to get off and still win.
Do whatever you have to do to stay quit today!
Fake stuff can help you out when you are in dire need of a placebo. That is all it is. It is like gum, seeds, etc. but it gives you the mental pleasure of packing the can and putting one in. It fulfills your menal need, but it does nothing for your physical side. It does not exercise your addiction.
I used it up until the 130s. And then I stopped.
Stopping its use is nothing like quitting nicotine. There are no physical withdrawals, and it's more like an uncomfortable empty feeling in your mouth. You are probably feeling much worse right now.
I used it because it satisfied the mental aspect of my addiction. I put off dealing with that until later when I was much more comfortable in my quit. If you don't feel strong enough to battle the physical and mental side of your addiction simultaneously, then by all means use the fake.

Nice analogy, I will probably pick up some not chew chew this weekend. I would definitely rather throw that in my mouth in a caving panic than break my word.

Day 5 is going much better than yesterday. I woke up in a good mood and I didn't have a crave sitting on my night stand when i checked the clock.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend.
-
Thinking back to my first week quit - I was putting everything in site in my mouth. You name it, peanuts, lots of gum, candy, beef jerky, seeds, blow-pops, everything. My wife loaded me up with all kinds of quit aides. I've tried the fake stuff in past quits but felt like it kept me too close to the real deal so this time it was candy, food, etc. Well, I am happy to tell you that at day 29 I don't need all that stuff. I have slowly got over constantly putting shit in my mouth. I still chew a lot of gum, bout a pack a day, but I don't constantly feel the urge to always be looking for something to eat on. It does get better in those regards. Great job quitting and keep it up. Have a great weekend. Proud to be quit with you

I am still quit. but it was a long weekend .. I did cook my modem this weekend though so i had to stay home and wait for some dude to come and give me a new one. apparently i can't just go grab one from them, hmmmm .. oh well .. it sucks but i am back online now so thats cool .. I went to a really awesome gun show on sunday and that was really cool .. Hope you guys had a great weekend and kept your heads tied up and out of the crave .. my family flaked on me on saturday and I was stranded with nothing to do, no car and a crave that would not quit .. I subsequently confronted my wife as to why they chose my first week of being quit to decide to be flaky and was countered with "What does it matter, why are you mad at me? you can't keep yourself busy around the house for one day? i thought this was supposed to be done after 3 days .. " I am keeping my composure though ..

A little advise would be dont expect to get support from her not that is not a great woman but right now she has no idea of whats happening with you....
I hate to hear the stranded part when what you needed was a good dose of KTC to help get past the inlaws being flaky, I would have to say get yourself right either with the use of this site or a jog or a walk or really anything other than trying to get the support from those around you who really dont understand why your wound up.....
Stay strong and good to see you got thru the weekend kudos for that!

Keep fighting brother. This ain't easy. Do whatever you can to keep the cancer candy out of your mouth. And if the rage sets in you get on in here and yell at one of us. I've been known to drop F-word here or there. Its therapeutic I feel. Like taking a giant deuce after hitting the Golden Coral for evening. You know, the kind of dump that you swear you see God when its leaving your ass. Yeah...therapeutic.

Day eight and still trucking along. I am doing good at work and my craves have been at a minimum all day. I am getting used to preemptively fighting off the craves as well with gum and candy. as soon as I am getting close to my house I pop something in so I wont start thinking about sittin on the couch and havin a chew before dinner.
It's getting better slowly but its cool I am a patient person most of the time.
