Hello all, I am on here because I quit tobacco 3 days ago. I won't go into my history of caving, except to say that I understand my biggest trigger - boredom! Aside from the addictive properties of tobacco, boredom always was the biggest challenge and the reason for my backsliding. Now is a good time for me to quit, I am highly motivated and have some new life changes happening that are keeping things interesting. Even though I am in a workplace where I could openly chew and am surrounded by dippers, I'm able to get by. And after 14 years of dipping, I recently hit a point where a dip made me salivate horribly and feel like puking, so I couldn't even keep a dip in for 5 minutes. I don't know why this started happening, just know I am taking advantage of it and tossed all dip. Suddenly I just felt tired of feeling sick. My avatar is to remind me of this.
So day 3 cold turkey and craving, but happy that I didn't feel like vomiting within the first few hours of my day.

Welcome and Congratulations on your decision!
Chew and nicotine trick us into justifying our addiction and use, boredom, working long hours, driving far, relaxing, etc. But this is all just gimmicks to keep us sucking at the teet of big tobacco.
1. Post roll daily, first thing
2. invest in your quit, KTC and other quitters
3. repeat 1-2

Hey Mr Skoal! Glad you found us. I think boredom is certainly a big trigger for a lot of us.. Early on I found that stuffing my face with sunflower seeds, eating anything and everything in sight or just going for a damn walk seemed to help. Whatever you do just know that it's better than stuffing your face full of death! Post roll, read up and make some great connections. This site is filled with really great people who all want to see you suceed!!
Jump in with both feet and get this done!!

So true - it's all tricks and gimmicks and excuses. In the end a craving is a craving and one must power through.

So post roll bro and be a quitter.

Finishing day 3. A real bitch as I had to drive solo 5 hours today and knew it'd be hard. Dealt with a powerful tiredness that had me pulling over for a power nap and a ravenous hunger, one stop I ate a pizza slice, beef jerkey, Charleston Chew and a rice crispie treat, on top of lunch and dinner! I'm going to weigh 500 pounds if this keeps up lol. But no mint or wintergreen bullshit in my mouth so that's a win.

Awesome job so far! I highly recommend that you start posting roll daily at the link below.
April 2017 Quit Group (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/30106725/33/#new)
You will find that quitting with a team is much better than quitting by yourself. This group is just starting and you can help lead the way. At this point you should worry about staying quit instead of gaining weight.
I quit with you today!

Roll does not need to be perfect and you can post it on your phone. :)

4 days clean and by now I would expect the heartburn to be better but last night it was absolutely scorching. Maybe it was due to all the junk food I ate yesterday.
-
what day is this, 5 or 6? All I know is I am so so tired. Waking up multiple times a night to a sweat soaked pillow makes for a long work day. Coffee isn't helping. I don't want to use chew, just wish I could feel normal atm.

Yep...you're doing it right. I love hearing that you feel like shit. No sleep, white knuckle, anxiety, hungry but can't eat...all that shit is GREATNESS!!! EMBRACE IT!!! Really experience it. Take note of everything. This is the suck...and you're handling it.
Also, turn the tables on the Nic Bitch. I used to go sit in the cab of my truck and yell "I GET to feel this shitty because I CHOSE to be FREE!!!" Neighbors thought I was nuts...maybe I am, too? But you're system is running nic-free for the first time in a long time. Take note of the heroic shit you're doing right now. ONE DAY AT A TIME is all that matters.
You can't change the past...what's done is done...so fuck it. The future isn't here yet...so fuck that too. All you should focus on is what you can control right now. Post roll, keep your word and LIVE FREE!!! You've taken the Nic Bitch's best shots and you're still standing. KEEP IT UP!!!

This guy hasn't posted roll in 2017, thus I suggest not giving him support. We have 1 simple rule here, why is it so hard to follow?

Agree. I didn't check roll first. Post up or fuck off.

I don't want to post roll because I'm not on this site every day. Actually I am not counting days at all. I quit, I am a former user, that's it. If I focus on days, weeks, anniversarys, that is difficult for me. I deal with the cravings which come on a daily basis and I crush them ( along with eating tons of junk food ). So far so good and at this point it's not that hard.

Oh and I am REALLY enjoying not feeling the eye-watering gagging and borderline vomit sensation!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was such a wonderful thing to go with my morning coffee! lol

30 days, still quit. Still cold turkey.
