Hello Everyone,
I am new to the forums and really want to get over this. I am 10 years deep this year. My fiancé will not have a child with me when we get married if I continue to chew. I have full support from her but not from myself. I fear the thought of irritability and withdrawals. I have quit drugs and not had a rough as a time as this. I am only one day in and I get the feeling of impending doom and anxiety. I hope to be able to share and get advice from many of you on this new experience. Thank you for the welcome and here we go.

hello Major, and welcome to the ring.
All you have to do today is stay quit. Everything else is unimportant. Today you save your life.
Tomorrow will take care of itself and you can choose to quit again or not, but today your going to stay quit.
Sip on sweet juice like pineapple, you want to keep your blood sugar up and steady, a sugar crash will lead to a crave.
Take a walk or ten, even just around the block. Exercise will reduce both the frequency and duration of craves.
Cut WAY back on caffeine, nicotine counteracts caffeine so you need to dramatically reduce your intake .
Go to Cancer and quitter stories, words of wisdom, and anywhere else you can think of and start reading until you find something to hold onto.
If I can do it so can you.
Congrats on the decision to finally quit

You need to read the info that is available here. Start with the welcome center and move on from there. Read about cancer, read intro threads, words of wisdom, hall of fame speeches, etc.. Educate yourself about the poison you are buying to kill yourself with, and learn about the addiction and how to beat it. Not going to sugar coat it: quitting nicotine will be one of if not the hardest thing you will ever do, but the method here at KTC works, and can help you. You need to own your quit for it to work though. If reading the info here at KTC does not make you want to quit for yourself, then I feel bad for you... PM me if you have any questions. I will also tell you that it gets so much better and easier if you fight through.

Everything you need is here at KTC, but you have to want it. You start by posting roll, we do this everyday as our promise.
Once you post roll, jump into the quit. Jump in with both feet, get accountable and start building your network.
This quit takes work, it will also be your main priority. When the rage hits, hit the deck, do push-ups' or burpies, until you can't take a breath. Come here and vent, use live chat do not rage on family. It's not your fiances fault you have this habit.
Most important thing, you quit for you, and you do it every day. I quit with you today.

Welcome MH,
I am not going to lie to you if you have stopped in the past then you know its not going to be easy nothing worth while ever is. First of all you need to quit for you all the support in the world wont help if you are not in this for you as sM mentioned all that other stuff is secondary quit today and today only. Be selfish with this quit its ok to be selfish in the beginning when you become strong enough and you have some left in the tank help someone else that is how this works here.
Go to the Welcome Center learn to post roll. Posting roll is the cornerstone of our site we don't tolerate using while posting nicotine in any form so if you are nicotine patched up, gum or suppository stop and post roll. Posting roll gives us your word as a man that you will not use for today only. Wake tomorrow and repeat.
PM me if you need help with anything. Don't be afraid to reach out we have already reached out to you.

Take comforting in knowing that we were all where you are right now. Afraid. Afraid to take the step to quitting. Afraid if we could REALLY do this or not. It's perfectly normal to feel this way. Hell I was so scared I ran away and left the site for a while. I didn't cave while I was gone, but a pussy move non the less.
Listen to what these fine quitters have said, it's great advice and true. The first few days SUCK, no doubt about it but are worth every damn second of it.
I hear you on the impending feeling of anxiety and doom. I too suffered with that.
ONE of the many things that helped me was thinking small and not so big. Think about making it through the day or even the hour, rather than thinking about making it the rest of your life. That's something that is easy for me to SAY now, but was very hard for me to do when I quit.
If I can do this, anyone can. You got this. You need me, hit me up anytime.

This is awesome! Thank you everyone. I work nights and am the only employee in my department at that shift. This will help me a lot getting to read this and check it out on my spare time at work. Thank you all for the great welcomes and the great advice.

check your inbox. You have some power houses of quit showing up in your intro use them use us. Keep your head up you are going to be going into a fog as we call it here it can happen in conjunction with withdrawal as well as after withdrawal.
One of the biggest helps for me was knowing I was not alone and real words associated with what I was going through and feeling. Read Read READ dude arm yourself with as much info as you can for it is power. Involve your fiancé there is a section for her to read also.
Keep us close because whats next for you is the SUCK it lasts approx. 3 days try this approach EMBRACE it take everything the nic bitch can throw at you and say is that all you got. Remember how bad this feels and never let it happen again. NAFAR never again for any reason. I played those letters over and over in my head everyday she was kicking me in the sac its all I could do to focus but I knew I was in the right place and I knew my brothers and sisters wouldn't let me down. they were with me every step of the way. Much the same way we are here with you now.

Nicotine is so dangerous because we think it is less than other drugs.
You quit drugs. This substance is just as addictive as heroin!
Respect that and use all the help you can here. Abuse this site! Afraid of have fits of rage.
We get it. If you girl is pissing you off, don't take it out on her. Rant, rage and even pick fights here. The last thing you need to hear from a loved one is, "I liked you better when you chewed."
Withdrawal, triggers etc....this IS A DRUG! Just because it is legal, you are a slave to it. It is a battle to quit but follow the plan here. Don't think you can alter it. Drink the Kool-Aid of quit and ask for another glass.
It becomes easier but its not easy. Welcome and if you vent and blow of steam here, your family will think you quitting is awesome and support you through it because you don't sabotage you loved ones to justify your addiction.

Our brothers and sisters have given you some great advice, the same advice they gave me roughly a month ago when I found this site. I was scared shitless, but every day I wake up and make a promise to myself that I won't use nicotine that day, then i post roll and promise my group. Repeat day after day and I promise it will get better, and your fiance will love the new, improved you. Feel free to PM me anytime.

Take the time to go read this bad asses thread. The shit he went thru makes most quits look like cake walks. He is a bad ass and helped me through some anxiety myself. Other than that if I could offer one piece of advice.... instead of dreading the anxiety and doom of quitting look at is though your escaping the anxiety of having to poison yourself hourly, while knowing it is likely giving you cancer! Quit with you erussell 203
