Title: My Introduction
Post by: saltydawg on July 24, 2015, 11:37:00 AM
Hows it going guys Im new to this and honestly not really sure how this whole forum thing works. Im 23 years old, just got married in April and put a house up on some land with my wife. Hunting and fishing is my #2 next to my wife of course who is #1. But those numbers can be switched at times haha.

Well I started using snuff when i was 12 years old, but wasn't really steady till i was about 15 or so. now at 23 i have been going through about a can and half a day until now that is. im ready to start this journey and from what im seeing everyone here on KTC makes it a lot easier to do. So guys im here for yall's help. Lets do this!

Another thing about me is i worry a lot and get anxiety. yesterday was my second day into this quit and on my way home from work started overthinking about things and started panicking a little bit. Thats when i decided its time to become a member of KTC and talk to folks That have gone through same situations.


Im Ready to KTC,

Ty

Welcome Ty, glad to have you aboard. There is no "magic pill" about KTC. Rather it offers you the pathway to be successful in quitting nicotine. First thing is to post roll everyday. You'll do that here: topic/11203031/233/#new (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/11203031/233/#new)

By posting roll, you are promising yourself and the 24,000 other quitters on this site that you will not use nicotine in any form today. Keep your promise that day, then move onto the next. It's that simple. However, simple does not mean easy. These first few days are going to be tough, but it won't kill you. Nicotine probably will though. So tough it out these first few days. It's worth it on the other side. I'm only on day 15 today, but I already feel like a completely different person. I'm taking my freedom back today, I encourage you to do the same.

Just keep on pushing through. Quitting will not kill you. It may feel awful at times, but that's your body reaping the battle spoils of the wins your brain is racking up. Don't worry about the next 13 days, just worry about today. It can start to feel too monumental when you think about quitting any longer than today. The motto here is we quit one day at a time (ODAAT). That's it. Even guys that are 1,000 days quit still only quit for today. Tomorrow we'll wake up and see where we land. I'm quit for today, and you posted your promise that you are today as well. Let's get to keeping those promises. Welcome aboard.

Im sure its been like that just never cared had my head too far up my a@# with a lip full and never payed attention.
Thank you for being here honestly it feels great taking to someone going through and or has been through what i am.

I didn't have any white stuff. My gums and cheeks were sore for sure for the first week or so, and it still comes back every once in a while. Other guys might chime in here, but it might make you feel better to go see the doc and get it checked out.

Definitely stay busy, it helps keep your mind off it, but also keeps your blood pumping which gets the nicotine out of your system.

Anxiety may be the number 1 reason why people don't stop feeding their addiction to nicotine. Here's an ideal drug for making someone rich: market a drug that doesn't cause you to be high or interfere with your cognitive function until you stop using it, and then cause extreme anxiety or even panic attacks. Anxiety is what caused me to cave in every attempt to stop in the past 3 years. Here at KTC you have a bunch of bad ass quitters who stay quit every day because they are willing to face the anxiety, tolerate it, and find better ways to deal with it than take a drug. They face their anxiety without bawling like an infant back to dip, I can do the same.

Nicotine causes brain chemistry changes that effect mood. Once you stop the nicotine, it will take a while for your brain chemistry to go to its normal state. And hell, your brain chemistry hasn't been in its normal state since puberty started.

One smart fellow once asked me 'when has worrying about something ever made the outcome better?'. Answer: never. You are a young man: its time for you to stay quit, and start to knock off this excess worrying about things. Your worry doesn't make the outcome better, so find something else that does.

Salty worrying is the way the olé nic bitch tryst trick us back into are old routines, dipping. When really it's the brain starving for nic and trying to fill the void. Hang on to your quit brothers, read, listen and most of all post your promise early each day! I quit with you today!

Thank yall. I believe I posted roll correctly today. Cravings are real right now but jolly ranchers seem to help a lot. Some awesome news is I also got my cousin to quit. We both told each other we will never put snuff in again. He's been using for about 30 years so for him to quit is awesome I tell him everything I learn from yall to help him. He can do it I know he can.

Well done! keep adding those +1s bro. Some of them might suck at the moment, but there is a price to be paid for your freedom... and I promise it is worth it. The only way you will know is to get to the other side.

Quit with you today, friend.

Day 7 is going a lot better than day 6. Early teal season, big duck season, and dove season is coming up in south Texas, that being said i guess whats making today a little better is wife said i can do some shopping for any decoy or gear needed. So here i am switching back and forth from Cabelas website and KTC. What works best for me is forgetting about snuff and nicotine period, but realizing that it can always come back and get me if i let it especially this early into the quit.

I'm going to post to my intro every single day so i can use it as a sort of journal i can always come back to and read through.

Thank you fellow brothers for all the help

Last night for me was terrible. I literally thought i was dying. Throat and chest was tight. Right side of my face was numb, jaw, teeth, tongue, and neck felt weird. Knee and elbows hurt like i was sick with the flu. Now this morning white patches formed on my top lip not really on the inside of my lip but on the outside. Look like a bunch of little white dots and then a small patch. Which is really weird because i never packed my snuff on top. Always on bottom. But i believe i was having a bit of a anxiety/panic attack last night thinking about everything that was feeling weird and worrying myself too much. This morning felt a lot better except now just wondering whats on my top lip.

Best part of this whole story is honestly while all this was going on i didn't have the slightest bit of craving to put a dip in. Which i know it can sneak up on me anytime if i let my guard down but it did feel very good not even wanting one while going through that.

Thank you guys for being here for me and anyone else that needs yall!

P.S what the fuck were we thinking ever starting that nasty shit

Wow how many times I have felt and read the same story you just posted. Go ahead and schedule you an appointment and get you some piece of mind. Anxiety is a dirty trick played on us by the nic whore. I've been down same road to many times. Just got through reading post where young man had somewhat same symptoms went to dentist and everything was fine. Nothing wrong with reassurance, just remember why your so concerned before you ever stick that shit back in your mouth! Quit on! Try to enjoy being free!

Yea Pab i think mon or tue going to just go ahead and go to dentist. Probably need to anyway, haven't been in shit don't remember last time, however i do keep up with my teeth but that doesn't matter cant brush away anything that nasty ass snuff could've done. What i was feeling last night is a very good crutch to remind myself of why i am never going to put snuff in my mouth again.

Its crazy thie mind games that shit does

Salty, it does play mind games with you. I went through a similar experience with a "white patch" that took forever to leave and and back a few times after dipping. I went to a mouth cancer specialist b/c I was so worried. It was only a $100, he did a through search and told me I didn't have cancer "yet" but if I went back to the can I would. In my case it turned out it was part of the healing process and I was irritating it with fake.

Since all that crap, I have had no issues and my dentist says all looks very healthy.

My father dipped for 35 years or so, he quit about 4 years ago and luckily doesn't have cancer, but has had many issues and saw a periodontist alot until recently.

Wish you the best on your visit!

Keep kicking ass Salty. You've got the right mindset for getting this done. Keep reading, learning, and absorbing everything you can, it's going to start really paying off soon. You're through the worst, but it'll keep getting better.

Last night for me was terrible. I literally thought i was dying. Throat and chest was tight. Right side of my face was numb, jaw, teeth, tongue, and neck felt weird. Knee and elbows hurt like i was sick with the flu. Now this morning white patches formed on my top lip not really on the inside of my lip but on the outside. Look like a bunch of little white dots and then a small patch. Which is really weird because i never packed my snuff on top. Always on bottom. But i believe i was having a bit of a anxiety/panic attack last night thinking about everything that was feeling weird and worrying myself too much. This morning felt a lot better except now just wondering whats on my top lip.

Best part of this whole story is honestly while all this was going on i didn't have the slightest bit of craving to put a dip in. Which i know it can sneak up on me anytime if i let my guard down but it did feel very good not even wanting one while going through that.

Thank you guys for being here for me and anyone else that needs yall!

P.S what the fuck were we thinking ever starting that nasty shit

Ty.
Wow how many times I have felt and read the same story you just posted. Go ahead and schedule you an appointment and get you some piece of mind. Anxiety is a dirty trick played on us by the nic whore. I've been down same road to many times. Just got through reading post where young man had somewhat same symptoms went to dentist and everything was fine. Nothing wrong with reassurance, just remember why your so concerned before you ever stick that shit back in your mouth! Quit on! Try to enjoy being free!
Yea Pab i think mon or tue going to just go ahead and go to dentist. Probably need to anyway, haven't been in shit don't remember last time, however i do keep up with my teeth but that doesn't matter cant brush away anything that nasty ass snuff could've done. What i was feeling last night is a very good crutch to remind myself of why i am never going to put snuff in my mouth again.

The days seem to be going by a little faster and mood is a little better. Mouth still bothering me went to one DR and got referred to another where i will be going tomorrow.

I finally got to the computer to read pm's from people that sent me messages with their phone numbers. It is greatly appreciated, especially after getting jumped for posting late. Getting jumped doesn't really bother me too much its a good thing, yea at the time i got a little heated but i was going through some small stuff where i couldn't get on the internet till was around WiFi and damn sure don't have the money to keep going over on my bill. I know someone will say well you found the money to always buy snuff... but however in my case no i didn't when the house, boat, electricity, cars, truck, and phone bills came in if all we had was enough to buy food for the table i wouldn't buy snuff, or when we did have a little leftover if my wife needed something that's what id buy.

Does that mean I'm not an addict? FUCK no I know I am an addict if we were low on funds it would be nothing for me to only take two dips that day but leave them in about 4-8 hours at a time. I was a different type of addict i guess you could say snuff didn't come first for the most part but when i did have the money i would practically drown myself in that nasty shit, or when a family member would make a trip to Louisiana, which they did quite often, i would have them buy bulk grizzly red was only $9 a roll in Louisiana.

the only thing i think should be done differently is find out why the person couldn't post early in a sensible manner then go from there. But o well people will be who they are and that's what makes this world so great no body is the same.

Thank you to everyone here.
TY
