Good morning fellow addicts!! I'm Roughshod78. I have been a slave to the can for over 24 yrs and I'm only 35 yrs of age. Putting that into writing is very disturbing.
I really have no idea what I'm doing and I'm not sure if this is being posted in the right forum but I have a few general questions about this kick ass site.
- can I use the patch to help with quitting or does this violate the quit. I have read that people in the forums have no nicotine in their blood and the last thing I want to do is compromise anyones quit by my posting while using the patch.
- can I post roll and join a group now or do I need to remove my patch first?
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you and advice and feedback is more then welcome!!

Pull off that patch!
This is a no nicotine site. Using the patch is like quitting vodka by switching to beer. Prolongs the agony ! Rip that patch off and get to quitting!
It is not easy. Takes stones. But you've got them. You'll be in the January 2014 group - that is when you will hit 100 days. Once you've ripped the patch off and flushed every bit of tobacco out of the house/car/anywhere else... Head over to jan 2014 and post day one.
If you've been lurking, you know that is your promise to yourself and others that today you will be nicotine free. You can do anything for a day. But today will likely be a rough one. Hold on, cause this ride is like a roller coaster. At first it feels like you'll climb forever and feel a bit sick, but once you get past the initial suck , and you will, man what a ride! Best decision of your life. Welcome aboard (after you rip that patch off!)

Ok thanks worktowin!!
The patch has been ripped off and I threw away the remaining patches. I'm at work now so I cant clean out my truck of any old cans but I will when I get off. Today is gonna be interesting and I must say I'm apprehensive.
I'm new to this site (and not having nicotine) so any help is appreciated. I would love to hear all the great stories on here and any links would be helpful.

Great decision to quit. You have all the stories and advice right on the KTC website. Read everything here: start with the welcome center and then read everything else. For stories of others quit journeys just hit the intro pages and go to the start of some threads. You will see that there are lots of common things in a dippers quit. First few days can be rough, but a big fat wad of poison will not leap from a can into your lip... If you choose not to slap a cat turd in your gob, then you will stay nic free... I will be quit with you all day. PM me if you need help.

Congrats on a great decision,, I used for over 25 years and i'm 229 days quit thanks to the accountability and support of this site. If me and 1000's of others can do it you can. You also stated you were "apprehensive." Dive into this site and make this quit the most important thing in your life. Throw any apprehension you have in the same place you trashed your stash. Post roll daily and make a promise to yourself, us and everyone else you will not use for today. That's how quitting is done.
I really have no idea what I'm doing
Neither did I or anyone else here when we first logged on. There is 1000's that have used this site to quit. You have come to the right place if you reeeeaalllyyy want to quit. Read, read and read. There is enough information on this site to keep you busy for days. Learn everything you can about your addiction. ONE DAY AT A TIME and you can take back a lot of what the poison has stolen. NEVER AGAIN FOR ANY REASON and you can keep it.
I saw your roll post,,,, Excellent.

Welcome aboard! Check your inbox - my contact info is there. Reach out if I can help, I know it seems awkward, but a text or a call can really help make the tough times easier. I know you've posted roll, and since you are a man of your word you'll stay clean today. Tomorrow wake up and post again first thing. The first few days are bad. But you can do it!
Congratulations on taking your like back.

Great decision. You have a great KTC Mentor reaching out to you in Worktowin, my advice is to take his advice and let him guide you through the process.
Prepare for war each day. Drink lots of water, find an alternative to dip (seeds, gum, jolly ranchers, lifesavers, fake dip, seeds, etc.). Exercise is a great help as well. When you get a craving do push ups or some other physical activity.
Remember the 5 Ps - Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance - If you do not over plan and commit to your quit your are setting yourself up for failure/caving.
If you would like another guide to help I will be happy to help you at anytime.

This is good stuff man. Trauma hit on something really key to your survival and attitude ~ change your mindset. Once you embrace how much this sucks, once you accept that this is the price you pay for freedom, once you start to see life is WAY better without being drugged up... We'll take this quit to 11! Shoot me a pm dude... Let's swap numbers. Start to build your foundation. Rock on...

Update 2:
Physically I don't feel to bad, mentally I'm totally shit for brains right now. Not sure if I could tie my shoes.
All the members that have contacted me and encouraged me throughout the day. THANKS!!!!
A little more about me. I started dipping when I was 11 or 12 yrs old. I started with a few buddies who are older. We would steal snuff and chew from gas stations after school when we were in jr. High school. The first time I took a pinch I was hooked. The bitch had her fangs in me from the first taste. Before I knew it I was dipping in class and taken an 1.5 hour shower everynight to get in my last dip before bed without my parents knowing what I was doing. Lol
After highschool I dipped more then a can a day. The last few yrs I have averaged 10 cans a week. The only time I have been nicotine free was during Navy boot camp in the winter of 1999.
Until today!!!!!!!
Im so fortunate to have found this site and I'm very thankful for all the help and support.

Hey brother the answer to your tying shoes thing is Velcro shoes or flip flops.
I am right there with you at starting way too fucking early, except that bad news is that in my town I was able to buy it at the age of 12, not legally but I still bought it.
Keep good notes about these days of the "SUCK", use them to fuel your quit. Remember every shitty day, hour, minute and second and use that because you will need to reference it again later I promise you that.
Keep on quitting and do this

Pinched has a great idea w the flip flops!
Great to talk to you tonight. You are in the heart of the battle right now. I ran down the list of quitters that have posted with you, and you've got some kick ass troops that will help you along the way. - we are just a text or phone call away. The next few days are gonna be tough - exercise, drink water, gum , candy, fake, whatever you have to do to keep nicotine out.
By the way, you are setting a great example for your boys. Tonight you should be proud that you are doing something you've wanted to do for a long time. Tonight you are doing. Not trying. Not stopping. Doing.
Congrats on day 1!

Keep battling bro! Being a shit for brains is normal. The ONE thing you need to keep clear as day is -- that you will stay quit today. That needs to be your focus right now. The fog sets in on us all... that is when you got to hold tight this quit. Read this... I was trolling the KTC site and found this on a badass quitter named Skoal Monster's into. You can do this! It needs to be top priority!

There is only one thing that I must accomplish today, and that is to not chew.
If I get other things done today, great.
But everything else has second priority for now.
Soon I'll be able to focus on those other things too.
But for right now, for today, this is the only thing that matters.
I won't demand more of myself, and I won't get down on myself for not doing anything else if I don't get to it.
This is damn damn damn hard work, and it's the most important work that I have right now.
I'll be truly and sincerely proud if I meet no goals today other than keeping that crap out of my mouth

Day of First!!!!!!
Today was the first day for a lot of things in my life. The number 1 and most important is I introduced no nicotine into my veins today.
Tonight was the first time I have showered and shaved without a scooby snack (death in a can) since Jr.High!!
I called several total fuckin strangers for support and encouragement!!!!
Now I lie in bed wondering if sleep is possible.
As the day of first comes to a close I want to thank all involved with the site and those who have held me accountable and supported me today. Also all those that held you accountable and supported you on your day 1.

Remember the fog, embrace the suck. Your doing great roughshod, remember how you feel now so you won't have to repeat these days, because that's what happens when you slip back into the Nic Bitch's arms.
Quit all day with you!

You are about halfway to getting the poison worked out of your system. And you'll never have to relive day 1 again!

Now that is the attitude to bring into this day 2! Your foggy and feel a little off... roger that and that totally normal. The poison is draining out of you as I type this! Drink fluids and stay on this thing. Remember that you only focus on being quit TODAY! You can do this bro! I'm quit with you today!
-
You know what day 2 means. It means you made it through one, so you can damn sure make it through two. One day at a time my friend. I can make you two promises.
One everything will get a lot better. You have forgotten life without the poison. Let me tell you it is so much better than life with it. My worst day without the poison is better than my best day with it.
Two things will not be easy for you a while, but you can do it one day at a time. Read this,,,, http://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/wha ... omment-938 (http://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/what-to-expect-when-you-quit-dipping/#comment-938).
Stay quit my friend,, your worth the craves, insomnia, and anything else you might go through. You can do this,, your doing it right now.....

No way bro! If you aint dippin.... you are doing the ass kickin! You are winning right now.
You got to keep fighting thru this suck! It is called "the suck" for a reason. As you fight... remember how crappy you feel... you don;t want to do this again.
You only have to do one thing today -- stay quit. That means no dip. So do what you got to do to keep kickin ass!
-
Here is a brief timeline on how my quit is going, I'm not sure if it's helpful or not but I made it for another new quitter and he seemed to like it.
"3 days is something to be proud of. The nic is out of your system so it's all fun and games now...right? Well F...guess what? Your body is use to living with nic and now it's mad and is about to really fight you.
The good news is that you understand how to use your tools and you have some good fight in you. The better news is that it gets so much easier very quickly. Now, I realize that "quickly" is a very relative term- as when you are suffering minute to minute, 5 or 6 weeks seem like 100 years. In reality, 5 or 6 weeks is not a very long time.
Keep in mind, I am no expert and I am just going off of what I have experienced the past 73 days. My "suck scale" looked something like this:
Day 1-3: bad fog, my brain didn't work at all. Very little sleep and couldn't take a dump to save my life. I wanted a dip every second of each day.
Day 4-10: Pretty much out of the fog but bad, bad cravings and headache every second of the day
Day 11-14: My cruise control days, I didn't think about dipping much and craves were few and far between. Sleeping good but too much.
Day 15-21 Starting to get my energy level back up. Craves about 2-4 per day and short. The first thing every morning, I started to get an empty and sick feeling in my stomach when I thought about not being able to dip. Started losing my temper easily.
Day 22-25 No real changes, cruising along but feeling a little depressed. I started learning how to hate my addiction and was really mad about it.
Day 26- 30: Wow, I was starting to gain a lot of weight. Weird how I replaced Cope with Ice Cream and cake. I don't even eat sweets but here I am 10 lbs heavier. I don't care, I'm not dipping and the craves are mild.
Day 31-38: Freaking fog was back, some nasty craves and my temper way out of control. WTF!
Day 39-60: The roller coaster days. Mod craves followed by no craves, bad temper and mild depression. A difficult time but I was not giving up at this point.
Day 61-73: The best days by far. Seldom think about dip, temper is way better, sleeping like a normal person and just feeling pretty darn good. I am stacking up these good days to recharge my batteries and prepare for the next round of fights".

Listen to derk. You have some numbers, use them if need be. The first 3 to 4 suck.
Enough is enough. No more will this poison rule you day in and day out. It's time for Kelly to own the day. It's time for kelly to decide what goes in his pie hole. It's time for kelly to decide what he wants to spend his hard earned money on. It's time for kelly to be free. Freedom brother,,, smell it taste it and feel it. We weren't meant to be lead around by a weed. You got this. Most craves only last 4 to 6 minutes.
Do what you have to do,, stay quit today kelly. You got this!!

Think of yourself as Rocky Balboa and the nic whore as Ivan Drago, Clubber Lang (in the rematch), or Apollo Creed in Rocky II.
Rocky took a tremendous beating to start each fight, but eventually he wore his opponents out and started hitting them with hay makers and became a CHAMPION.
You might be takin a beatin right now but you're still standing. Think of KTC as "Mick". We are savy, tough old coots with a lot of quit experience. We can help you through the early rounds.
Just keep your hands up and SURVIVE this initial flurry. Things WILL get better. You're the good guy, and the good guy always wins around here.

You might be takin a beatin right now but you're still standing. Think of KTC as "Mick". We are savy, tough old coots with a lot of quit experience. We can help you through the early rounds.
Just keep your hands up and SURVIVE this initial flurry. Things WILL get better. You're the good guy, and the good guy always wins around here.
Hell yes ^^! All you have to do is not dip, and you will knock the nic bitch the fuck out! It is so worth it, and it will get way better if you push through.
Remember how bad this sucks and remember it well. You WILL win.
All that I can add to this is ..."yo Adrianne"

Go to google images and search "oral cancer", "lip cancer", and "tongue cancer".
Scared me to freaking death!!!

"I know you're tired, I know you're hurtin' ... I wish I could say something that's classy and inspirational ... but it wouldn't be our style. Pain heals, chicks dig scars ... glory lasts forever."

Ok, now for real, the SUCK IS YOUR MOTIVATION. That awful feeling is you winning. It is miserable so that you can store it in your memory banks and never want to live through it again.
IT is you rewiring your brain to work the way it is supposed to, without nicotine.
Embrace the suck.

Find anything you can about nicotine and addiction. Began arming yourself with knowledge. The information is not hard to find. The pictures are great motivation also. There is a lot of information on this site. Start digging around. Fighting this enemy becomes easier when you learn it. Hof speeches and other intros will also help. Read my hof speech in my signature line.
It will suck until it don't and then it won't (sM). You got this kelly. Break it down if you have to. One second at a time.

I usually pick a HOF speech to read. Then track down that person's intro and read that. So many wonderful quit stories on this site. We all quit the same. One day at a time. Great job on day 2 bro.

Hey Roughshod,
Great job man your doing it! Like KC said, live in the forums as much as you can right now. HOF speeches seem so far removed from how you feel right now, but track down their Intro thread and start at the first post. We all pushed through the suck like you are now and came out the other side.
Keep it up, you got this!

Brother... That mindset is what it takes. I like what I am seeing from you. You are a fighter! ODAAT!
But know this... Huge victory today! You won today. You won yesterday. That tells me you can wake up tomorrow and win tomorrow. You battled like a badass and that is what it takes. Hand to hand combat is required at this stage of the game! You can do this!
I will see you tomorrow at roll brother! I will be quitting with you tomorrow! Looking forward to it!

Dude. The beginning sucks. No doubt about it. But if it didn't get better I would been outta here long ago. But it does get better. I PROMISE.
Grind, scratch, claw, fight, rage, slam your balls in a door. Whatever it fucking takes. You are re-wiring you're brain. It's not an easy thing to do.
But remember this...
You are re-wiring it back to the way it is supposed to be. The way you came into this world. You didn't come into this world suckling on nicotine. Somewhere along the way you fucked your shit up, we all did.
What a shame it would be if you were taken early from this earth beacause you gave up and lost the fight to a posionous plant.
Some d bag who smokes like a chimney, said to me when I first quit, "dude, you could get hit by a bus tomorrow and die. Why torture yourself"?
At first I was like "Damn, hes right". Then I was like wait a minute here, they teach you to look both ways before you cross the street in elementary school, and how many people do I know who have been killed by getting hit by a bus???? That's right ZERO. How many do I know who have been killed by cancer from nicotine addiction? Too many to count, some that should still be here today to see the man I've become and to meet their grandchildren.
I know this sucks and I know you will probably sleep very little tonight, but just remember you are fighting the good fight and doing the right thing. Quitting this shit it the most important thing you will ever do in your life. It will probably be the hardest too.
Time to make a fucking stand bro. Time to reach deep and find some strength you might not even know you have. You don't have to do it alone though. We are here to help. Lean on ie when you are weak, yell at us when you are raging, call me a fucking asshole once a day if you wish.
Whatever you do...Don't give up.
-
Welcome RS all the best to you. Wow you're really working this site thread to fight through the first couple days, way to go bro! As you're finding out this is hard, maybe harder than you thought, it was for me, but I see you've got more support than you probably thought you'd find too, which is the awesome part of this site! As always, PM away if you want another number.

Update:
Because of how this site rocks and the members are the baddest mofo's in all the Land, Day 3 is upon me.
I'm not sure of much this morning; except today I say no to the bitch!!!!!
-
Day 3 is in the books! Keep fighting Kelly - you are really inspiring a lot of us with how you are fighting this battle. Your days of lurking have prepared you well with strategy, as you are using the resources on here to the fullest.
Keep reaching out if we can help, but know that we are all cheering you on today. And, while it seems hard to believe right now, better days really are ahead. Freedom is yours, brother...
By the way - you are correct, this site does rock. But day 3 is here because if you. Because you are a man of integrity and if your word. And because you want to live and not be chained to an addiction. This site is a guide, but you get the credit and the reward.
-
You are getting this full immersion into the program. Cornerstone is roll, odaat, accountability brotherhood success. These are just not words they are the formula. Keep drinking the kool-aid brother. Day 3 is a mini milestone the withdrawal process is decreasing and now its a mental game now is the time you need to sprout your 3 rd ball. Keep close to the site
-
I'm not sure of much this morning
Let me tell you what you should be sure of today my friend. For over 48 hours you haven't went down to the corner store and spent your hard earned money on a can of poison. A filthy disgusting can of poison that you loved more than yourself, family and friends.
You can be sure that for the first time in years your brain is healing and getting the proper amount of oxygen that it requires to be healthy and function properly. You can be sure that your blood pressure is dropping and will continue to drop as you heart begins to recover and work normally.
You can be sure that you will win this battle today because you made a promise to yourself, family, friends and us not to use today. You can be sure that each day you add a +1 you will begin to gain control of this addiction and take back what belongs to you. Keep it up bro,, your winning!!! Glad to be quit with you.
-
I know these days have been long and hard but they go by quickly. Keep doing what you are doing and you will be fine.
-
Kelly you are winning! By this time tomorrow the poison should be out of your system! Remember this fight b/c you never want to have to go through this again. Keep your focus one day at a time, and battle minute to minute, second to second if you have to. You just keep fighting like you have the last 2 days and you will punch through to a better place! You want some inspiration? Go look in the mirror.
-
Keep on fighting, you can do this. As you can see you have some great quitters in your corner ready to fight with you.
Stay the course and stay quit!
-
I know these days have been long and hard but they go by quickly. Keep doing what you are doing and you will be fine.

Update. Quit Log Day3:
I had aspirations of writing something inspiring, witty and entertaining first thing this morning. When I woke all I could think was " who's fuckin body and mind is this?"
I'm totally jacked up right now. I have been such a slave to the bitch that I'm 35yrs old and I think my 3yr old is functioning better then me right now!!
The fog is having moments of lift this morning. It seems to help if I stay busy and can focus on anything else.
I'm slowly learning how the forum works. This is the first time I have ever posted or participated in something like this.
You guys are awesome and I will quit with you all today!!!

Sorry Hijacked your thread a bit...every good thread has a hijack in it. Yep Kelly you are going to feel like your village called and they miss you for awhile. It appears way more noticeable to you then others. I felt like I had a stroke when trying to converse in the beginning now I am much more clear.

Now that I am officially an accessory to this thread hi-jacking I feel obligated to chime in. The good news is that I don't have the patience for golf so putting is not an option. However, I do like how all of you have been "stroking" the ball today.
Roughshod, you are doing great man. Continue to move forward away from your addiction.

Although I appreciate the "long and hard" reference... I really enjoyed trauma's "full immersion" much more. that has to be nsfw when placed in google.
Wanted to hop in and say hey to one of my brothers from jan 14. I was in the fog real bad in the beginning as well. who am I kidding I still have problems. What I can say is I feel better now then I did at day 3. That is a fact.
I go back and read some of my post and direct messages from those first couple of days and think, "Did I graduate middle school?" (I did...) becuase they were so poorly written and made no sense. I felt like I was losing my mind when the nic was leaving my system.
Keep pushing through, your mind may be lost, your head may be in the clouds but the brothers of KTC will keep you grounded. Quit on brother! You are keeping your quit odaat.

Congrats on getting it done for day #3! You're just about to 72hrs now. You're right, this is about the hardest thing ever. The veterans tell me it gets so much better so worth it, I'm starting to learn that. The physical is bad enough, but the mental symptoms are or can be way worse! I didn't expect that for me at all. I thought I'd just have to beat back the physical, wasn't prepped for the mental. Not at all. Keep doin what you're doin by reading posting you got this beat! ODAAT

What have I missed? 'Popcorn'
Welcome to quit rough. Looks like you're here to stay. Congrats on taking your life back.
Once you begin to understand that nicotine actually did NOTHING for you it will become easier and easier. It was all big ass lie. Nicotine only removed the withdrawal that IT created. And we convinced ourselves that it did so much more.

Try and save that one for a last resort! Get on the website and read and chat and look at cancer pics first, and if still craving then slam nutz in drawer. Sometimes just giving yourself a glancing "knuckle ball" is enough.

What up badass mofo's?
It's day5 of the quit for me. Physically I'm still having some moments of severe fog but the majority of the time my head is clear.
The nic bitch is a cunning twat huh? I had a real close one the other night. I was driving back from my folks and needed some ice. I was gonna stop by the store and get some. The nic bitch convinced me I should pickup.a can! 'Crazy'
my thinking (which was addict talk) was I could take a big fat chaw after I get the boys to bed and no one need no about it!!
Is that some fucked up shit or what. I had given my word to mh brothers on this sight and had completed my 72hours to get through the physical withdraws, and that little cunt the nic bitch had me convinced I could get away with it. No strings attached she said.
I made the safe decision and went with Fuck the ice!! Lol
I couldn't stop at the store and haven't been into a gas station in 5 days.
I'll be going to my first College football game quit today in Stillwater.
Kinda bummed I wont be able to have some beers before the game but it sure as hell ain't worth breakin my word and fuckin up 5 days of badass quit.
I gotta get around to head for Stillwater.
Peace out Mofo's.
Keep kickin ass!!!

I didn't go in a convenience store for 6 months. No lie. I'm surprised the one closest to my house survived after I stopped my kodiak purchases. Now, when I go in, it takes every bit of energy that I have to not grab the teenage boys that are buying cans and shake them. Because I wish someone had done it for me when I was 16.
In 6 months you can buy ice again!

Congrats on day 5 bro on getting to take your son to the game nic free! Don't worry about having trouble expressing it we've all been there. Going to a game, long roadtrips, mowing the lawn, remember for us ex dippers there wasn't an activity that at the time we thought was being made better, so there's alot of relearning to do alot of first time experiences without dip! So that's huge bro! Congrats!

Day - 7
One week. Wow
Before I found this site I never would have made it to day7 with no nicotine. Hell I never would have tried.
I was always looking for the easiest way.
The patch the gum. Anything that would ease the pain of not dipping!!
Can't thank you guys enough for the support.
To the Elders and Founders of this innovative site.
You have saved my life and the lives of countless others.
I Salute You.
Side note: did anyone else find it terribly ironic that last night on SNF it was Breast cancer
awareness night and the refs had pink flags and the players were dressed in pink shoes and shit,
all the while the coaches and players have a mouth full of cancer causing poisonous weed.
where the fuck is the fuckin Tobacco awareness?

Fantastic job. That first week is a hell-ride. Now, for a whole new set of problems- welcome to week two. HAHA. Not to worry, you have a strong quit going. Stay on track and you will be just fine brother.
Glad to be quit with you.

Awesome bro! See you posting up with other groups and rocking your quit. One week is freaking huge, just remember ODAAT. Your just as quit at 7 days as I am at 161 days, but it does get easier each time to win a victory over that cancer in a can. Your a bad ass, I quit with you all damn day bro. Erussell 161.

Can somebody help me out.
I'm on day 7 and I feel like I'm back to day 2.
I spent most of the day on the lake putting in brush piles for crappie fishin this winter.
I knew the lake would set off some triggers and it did. Nothin I couldn't handle. (My day 2 was a living hell.)
So tonight I take the boys to the store and get stuff for hotdogs. We start a fire in the back and all the sudden I'm in a shit mood. I mean scary shit mood.
I feel like a fuckin monster. Like I want to destroy something or someone.
I have no regard for anything or anyone.
I handle it by getting away from my boys and drinking some cold water. Of course I threw in a pinch of backoff. But wtf is going on? I thought it was going to get easier or can I expect these moods to come on sometimes.
Thanks guys.

Yes! you can expect shit like this, and Yes it does get better, much better, just look at what you wrote "I knew the lake would set off some triggers and it did. NOTHIN I COULDN'T HANDLE"
See things are already way better, but yeah crappy moments will show up, just know they will decrease in both frequency and intensity.
You did the right thing, got away from people who don't deserve to suffer because you stuffed your lip, and posted in here with a lot of people who get exactly what you are going through.
I am proud to quit with you today.

I've been an asshole for 41 years. Soon to be 42. You're doing great and sounds like you are doing exactly the right thing. You posted roll this morning. You are a man of your word. You are reaching out. You will push through this. But I'll still be an asshole.

8,760 days of use vs 7 days of quit.
You're doing great but you will have some battles ahead, no doubt about it.
You're body is pissed. It wants its posion. What do little babys do when they don't get what they want? They cry and throw a fit, because they have not learned how to fend for themselves and function without dependency.
Obviously you're not a baby, but you're going through something similar. Your body wants something it used to be dependant on, but when you tell it no, you get PISSED.
Eventually you will learn you don't need your widdle bah bah anymore, but it will take time and be a struggle. Also you will eventually learn not to shit yourself and lose the diaper.

Awesome work on getting to day 7! It'll have it's ups downs, some days it feels like one step forward two steps back, but you definitely got this.

This is one if diesel's best posts, Kelly... It is spot on. Keep pushing. It will get better.

Hey buddy,
Anger, rage and very short temper has been my biggest issue during my quit. I mean, I have been way out of control. The past 7 days I have been more like my self and my anger isn't as easily triggered.
Work out to exhaustion as often as you can, it helps but time helps more than anything.
My wife has been an angel through this thing....

And That would be 8. That's how it works roughshod. You woke up on day 7, posted roll, had a bad day, kept your word and stayed quit. Woke up this morning and now it's time to repeat the steps of the previous day. Your early in your quit bro. 8 days is just the beginning.
I didn't begin having a rough time when I quit until after the first week. I was pumped the first week. I started something new, my blood pressure was sky high, I had found this site and pumped. Then reality hit,,, Week 2...
I didn't begin feeling better until the 40's. Your emotions are where this battle rages. I remember thinking,, This emotional roller coaster sucks.
This is a marathon not a sprint. It will suck until it doesn't and then it won't. One day at a time and you can have a lot of what the poison has stolen. Never again for any reason and you can keep it.
I always encourage reading everything you can get on nicotine and your addiction. It really helps to learn this enemy. This enemy is worth your time to know everything about. I always say it's half the battle. Knowing, somewhat of what's coming helps you evaluate and prepare. Sharpen them tools bro.... Glad to be quit with you.

We're standing on the shoulders of the veteran dippers that quit before us.
We can beat our addiction one day at a time...I promise YOU!

When I get angry now, at 967 days out, I feel just like I did when I first quit. One of the first thoughts in my head when I'm in the grip of a rage is to cave.
We call this a trigger. That's a thing your addiction uses to keep you addicted. If anger is your trigger, study anger and how to control it.

Well how is it going roughshod?? Your quit reminds me of my quit, I am pulling for you man. I would love an update. You have received some solid quit schooling from some solid quitters, I hope you are putting it to good use.

You need to rage here on us not your family I know it sucks had similar post as you on my day 6-7. You family is innocent keep quit give your sons a role model to look up too. Rage vent here that's what we are here for.

Update Day11
Thanks to everyone that responded in my times of need.
The night I posted about the rage I read some of the links you guys posted. They were awesome can't thank you enough. There is some great reading on this site that I knew nothing about. I'll keep exploring and reading new things.
I've had my boys the past week and that has kept me very busy. My 9yr old is very interested in my quit and I'm keeping him involved.
My hopes and prayers are that he will be smarter then his old man and stay away from the poison.
Last night we played a double header ( won both) and then I had to do the parent swap with the soon to be X-roughshod. Fun fun!!
I started getting emotional with a ref and it was the first time in 4 yrs of coaching that ever happened. I decided to take a quick walk before I went to far and got removed from the game. Lol.
I walked to the concessions stand and got a water. Then went back. I was able to put it behind me without going into rage mode. Whjch is good.
Well it looks like we have some new guys in the Killers group so Im gonna try to reach out to them.
Stay quit badass mofo's!!

You are the badass mofo and I am truly glad to be quit with you.
I can happily say that I am now on day 11 without losing my temper. Hopefully I am past that part now. I had a little depression during the angry times and that seems to be gone too.
You are going to be just fine brother.

The quit is strong in this one 'jedisith'
Keep up the great work roughshod. I also made the decision to involve my 9 year old in my quit. He was witnessing the struggle first hand back in Jan when I quit and I felt compelled to tell him exactly what I was going through. He blew me away by asking how he could help me. I told him he could help me by promising to never to use tobacco or nicotine in any way shape or form in his life and help his little brother to do the same. Incidentally his grandfather was undergoing chemo and radiation for throat cancer around the same time. We looked at lots of cancer pictures together. He gets it. He blew me away again when he bought me my HOF coin and told me that he was proud of me when I hit 100 days. That will send a man to his knees. My 9 year old is proud of me. Wow. How could I ever go back to the poison after that. NEVER AGAIN FOR ANY REASON. Happy to be quit with you today roughshod, keep up the great work. It is so worth it. You need anything reach out.

Great job Roughshod!
Early on my 9 year old son told he was proud of me for "quitting that nasty Kodiak stuff" Like Ryan has said, that just floored me. I was never a ninja trying to hide but I guess I was in denial about how much my habit was noticed by him. You've only begun to scratch the surface of your quit and there will be good things to come. I look forward to seeing your quit progress as we all wander down this road of quit together. Proud to quit with you today!
-
Roughshod - is getting on the train as well today. He is from Ponca City, Oklahoma and is 35 years old. He loves hunting, fishing, home brewing and college football! Congratulations and we wish we had more info on this badass quitter!!!
-
Well done roughshod. HOF is a proud accomplishment and great start toward a lifetime of quit.
-
Ha....I picked you as a winner early on.
I'm really getting good at this!!!!!
Congrats brother.
