Title: Introduction
Post by: Denison on January 02, 2014, 05:31:00 PM
Hey everyone. For more than half my life I have been addicted to nicotine. But I kept that addiction secret when my now wife, then girlfriend found out i used dip. I had told her I quit or that it wasn't mine, or countless lies about it.
After she found it again, because I am a terrible lair or perhaps secretly wanted to get caught again I decided that it was enough.
I am 5 days into a quit that i want to last forever. It has to be one day at a time, but I plan on leaning on the members of this community for support.

I love my wife and I love my kids, and I want to be around to watch them grow.
Today I am quit

Awesome stuff, man. Make sure you are posting roll everyday in the Pre-HOF April 2014 group. This is your daily promise not to use nicotine in any form. You can find that group here: index.php?showtopic=9259 (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=9259)

Also, keep your mouth occupied--whatever helps. I use sunflower seeds, beef jerky, and atomic fireballs but others have found that the herbal/fake dip works well.

You did a good job at posting your introduction. Now quit one day at a time (ODAAT).

Congrat on a great choice, Denison. 5 days is huge!!! There is no turning back now. The nic is out of your system, but the cravings are still there. Here's what to do...

Click on the Welcome Center Link above and learn how and why we post roll. Then do it each day.

Also...we don't "want" things around here. We make it happen...period. If you "want" to stay quit, make it happen. Your group is the April 2014 group. (because you will reach 100 days in April) Just give your word each day that come Hell or high water you will not put that nasty shit in your face. Then keep your word. Tomorrow, wake up and make the same promise. We'll be here...that's how we're doing it.

Excercise, water, candy, gum, fake stuff...all of those help. But the main thing is YOU. You've taken the first step...we've got your back the rest of the way. Just post roll, give your word and keep it. Also, embrace the suck. That is the feeling of healing. Really take note of how shitty your feel...the headaches, confusion, no-sleep, white-knuckly, nervous, sleeplessness, constipation...all of it. Take note and promise yourself that you will never put yourself through that torture again.

YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

Great decision bro. WORK THE KTC PLAN, and you will succeed. If you need guidance, reach out and ask for phone numbers. Make friends. I quit with you today. There are thousands of people here who have been through, or are going through exactly what you are now.

Welcome and great job. I'm just going to reiterate what bean stated. Don't want it brother,,, take it. Reach deep and take your life back each and every day because the poison is not going to just give it back freely. Glad to be quit with you.
