Title: Intro
Post by: Greeley on July 07, 2014, 05:50:00 PM
Guess I'm the new guy... I thought this site was a little over the top when I first visited it last night (can't seem to sleep for some reason! Ha ha) but I find that I keep coming back to it. So I might as well jump in...
I have chewed since around 2007. It started out slow but it snowballed quickly. For the past year or so I have been chewing at least a can a day (cope wintergreen long cut) with no real breaks. I have tried to quit before but it never lasted more than a few days. So here I am on day 3, trying to keep it going. My quit day was July 5th... no special reason, and no planning. Just cold turkey.
I want to be healthier and I'm sick of having this disgusting habit.
That's pretty much it. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Roll call. Now. It's where you promise all of us that you won't use nic today. You will be in October group, which means you will hit 100 days of freedom from nicotine in October 2014. Here is the group: topic/10359552/44/?x=35#new (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/10359552/44/?x=35#new)

Go there now. Post "Greeley - Day 3"

That's like shaking our hand and giving your word as a man that no matter what happens today, you ain't ingesting nicotine.

Get up in the morning and post Day 4.

Keep repeating.

Go post right now. No reason to delay. Get that promise on the table and let us hold you accountable.

Jump in with both feet, if you haven't read the welcome center (http://forum.killthecan.org/forum/55560/) click on it and do so now. Then post roll and get to know a few quitters in your group, in chat or through pm's - they will save your quit if you reach out in time of crisis. That may seem a bit "over the top" but it's true.

It's not a habit, it's an addiction. You're an addict, just like all of us. Get in with your group, start posting roll and qutting every day. Repeat. You want it? Only person stopping you is you.

over the top we are.

This addiction is a mofo.

over the top is the way you beat it. Get pissed friend. Resolve no more for any reason.

Know your enemy. Did you know that a can of chew has about the same nicotine as 3 packs of smokes? Did you know that nicotine wascusedxas an herbicide until it was deemed to dangerous? I can't count how many of us HAD high blood pressure...

The beginning sucks, and not like Monica lewinsky. But succeeding at something that seemed like an impossibility before you joined will be a feeling like you cannot even imagine.

You can do this. If some weak dude like me can do it, you can. Post your word each day when you wake up. Then lean on your ktc family to get you thru the bumps. If you are a man of integrity, you will keep your word for a day. Check your inbox, my number is there. Use it if I can help.

You have helped already. You seem like good guys. I've lost my temper more times than I can count today but bitching about it doesn't help... knowing I can't back out does.
I'm still getting the hang of this, but I will see you all at roll call.
Cheers

Over the top?

When I post roll, it's like a switch. It means I'm quit.

It's not like we're arm wrestling for our kids. (http://youtu.be/CqKqTHw0j9w)

We're part distraction, part insane, and fully quit (and ready to help).

That's a pretty fuckin' over the top addiction you have there buddy. The good news, you're amongst friends and those who also have the same addiction. Only way to beat it is to go at it head first, full steam ahead, 110%.

So turn that hat around, post roll, and turn on that quit switch.
