Very tired of "trying" to quit. I spent a few days reading on this site before I decided to flush the can. I am now on Day 2. Thanks for the support I have recieved in Live Chat. That seems to be the place to go when I am having some bad cravings. I have used some form of nicotine for the past 15 years. 1-1.5 cans of cope long cut for the last 10 years. I have attempted to quit over 100 times. Never going more than 3 days. Thanks for the support.

I saw that badass day 2 you posted today. Just keep posting roll and keeping your word. Quit five minutes at a time if you need to right now. Better days are ahead, you just have to suck it up and make the decision that nothing will make you give in to nic.
Proud to be quit with you. Yell if you need anything.

Hey bro, thats the shit man! I quit this past Saturday! Let go through this shit togeather, just PM me if you need anything and ill do the same for you. I might have to break a new addiction to sun flower seeds, FML!

Glad you're here wookie! You're on the road to regaining control of all things in your power. From this day forward, make a note of just how shitty these first two days are/were. Use this as fuel for your quit down the road. You will NEVER want to re-experience the first days of quit, I can guarantee this.
Good to quit with you man. Hang in there and if you have any questions, concerns, or problems, do not hesitate at all at contact myself or anyone else for that matter.

Last night sucked. Couldn't sleep. Head hurts. Inside of my lip started burning last night so bad that it woke me up, after I woke up it stopped. Mind games?
Jaw is sore from chewing gum. What did I do to myself? Why did I agree to that first pinch? Fuck you nic bitch!!!

day 4
Alarm goes off @ 6:00 am. I have already been up for 2 hours tossing and turning trying to get back to sleep. My mind has been racing. My brain is yelling at me. One side tells me to go buy a can, the other calls me a pussy for even thinking about it. As I am driving to work, I catch myself looking for a c-store. I made it past what seemed like 100 stores on my wasy to work. Why did I do this to myself? I am here, I posted roll, I quit for today.

You're almost over that first hump Wookie, keep strong, everytime you pass one of those stores, give a big middle finger (seriously what i did). You got this, just take one day at a time, start texting all the numbers you have if you're havin problems. If you have no numbers, PM me and i'll give you mine.
STAY QUIT!

I caved on day 89 of my last attempt to quit. I was going through a rough patch and I just didn't care anymore. I have no excuses for what I did to myself my family. Hopefully I can earn the support back from my brothers here @ KTC. I know I don't deserve it, but I will work to get it back one day at time.

What happened?
Why?
What are you going to do different this time?
You owe an answer to these 3 questions for yourself, your old quit group and your new group.
That is the price of readmission. Think long and hard, quitting is the hardest thing you will ever do. Life will continue to happen around you, nicotine does not make it better. The only thing nicotine helps with, is withdrawal from nicotine. Post roll with October '14, lets make it happen Wookie. I caved at day 2 back in May '13, I quit this very day last year and have for 366 days in a row. If I can do this so can you.
Answer the questions, take your lumps from your old group and get to quitting.
PM me and I will support you and give you my number, but you need to take the ball and run with it today.

Oh Gawd! Is anyone ever going to cave and just post the answers to the 3 questions without us having to suck them out of them?! You have a lot more patience than I do Jlud!

This cat obviously didn't want to have to deal with accountability the first go 'round.
Why should we expect him to have the integrity to be proactive now?

not doing a good job of it....but I am trying to answer the questions in oct 14
I posted from day 1 for around 2 weeks. Came back around day 50 for a couple of weeks. On day 89 I went to the store bought my alcohol and a can. Went home made a drink, started a fight with the wife, and took a dip. My wife and I have had our troubles over the years, but recently its been getting better. New baby due in November, Depression symptoms fading, I am on day 5 of no alcohol, and I want this nicotine out of my life.
Some progress there Wookie.
Alcohol has killed many a quit, abstaining for the time being is a good start.
Post roll, every.... single... day. No excuses, you found time everyday to buy a can and dip, so if you truly want to be quit you can find time everyday to post your promise. Then, keep your promise. Lastly, find a way to get involved. Live chat, spreadsheets, get some fellow quitters contact information and embrace the brotherhood aspect. All these guys are here to help, but we can't do it for you. Only you can provide the desire and motivation.
Posting some of this from the Oct '14 thread. Your on the right track Wookie, just remember that no matter what the problem..... nicotine is just one more on top of it... Dip + Problem = 2 problems.
Nicotine has been known to cause depression among a mountain of other health and wellness issues. Keep your promise today, post early tomorrow. Get into Live Chat tonight or today if you can, make some connections.

I've seen people lose jobs, wives, lives and just about everything else, while remaining quit. How bad do you want it? We'll see! Life will keep going and it don't care what day your on.
Everyone on your intro has made it for as long as they have because they decided it didnt matter how bad things got for it don't matter how long. I'm quit and that's it. There is no such thing as cave.
Batter up, you swung an missed. Dont miss again. Life's to short to be lead around by a can.

I'm with you too. This site is made up of cavers. Either we caved while using KTC or caved before that on our own. It looks like you are owning your mistakes. But everyday when you post roll remember who you are...an addict...be twice the quitter you were last time. Get in tighter with your quit group, post more often in your intro thread, aid other quitters along the way. If you are serious.....be fucking serious. I quit with you.

Getting to know your brothers and sisters in quit makes your quit more solid. Remember that every word you type is read by other real people, not just cyberspace nonsense. Quitters new and old are all integral parts of the quit strategy; the veterans show the path to walk, the newbies remind the veterans when they were in their shoes and help the veterans open their eyes to new thoughts or ideas.
Keep it up, you are following the path well; post roll daily and keep it up. The milestones with come and go but your life not being in jeopardy is priceless.

Day 6 of no nic / 9 of no alcohol
No longer battling minute by minute. Seems more like every couple hours I start craving. Cinnamon hard candy has helped me so far.
Why do some people spend more time arguing with someone that could care less about their quit and not support the new guys coming in? I think 5 new guys posted up today. Hardly anything was mentioned to or about them.
Not looking for a bunch of comments....just using this for me to come back to and read my past thoughts.
Thanks to all that posted above and all the pm's showing me a better path.

Day 12 of no nic / day 15 of no alcohol
Still getting occasional craves for nic. I know there are a lot more bad days to come. Alcohol on the other hand has been kicking my ass the past few days. I have spent the last few days angry at everyone and everything. Had a member of the TITANS cave yesterday after posting roll. History says there will be more, but it still pisses me off. To all the half ass posters of the group....do us all a favor and get to quitting TITAN style or get the fuck out!!! I pulled that bullshit on june 12. I now know how fucked up that is. It won't happen again.
Rambling thoughts....

Have you checked out the alcohol thread HERE (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/1003099/2325/)? There's quite a few quitters that post regularly and can offer some great advice. Check it out man.
Keep up that rage against the half assers, but build them. You see somebody struggling to make roll? Offer to post for them. Save your life by saving their lives.

Strong advice here from Waste Panel. No one can help new quitters get through the tough times better than other new quitters. Wookie, it definitely looks like you are getting after this quit in a way you didn't in the past. Keep grinding.
