After chewing for almost thirty years, it was time to be done. Actually what prompted the quit was the last trip to the dentist and having three cavities along my gum line where the chew usually resided. However, I ended up having a chew shortly after leaving the dentist, face and mouth still numb enough I didn't notice the tobacco drool until it was down the front of my shirt. (not one of my proudest moments) About a month later I found this site and got inspired, set a quit date and made it happen. Day 22 - Still chew free. I am sure it affects everyone differently, but quitting has made me Angry and somehow developed a zero tolerance for stupidity, I am hoping, and my employees are praying, that this will go away soon. Any Suggestions would be appreciated. By the way, thanks to whomever posted the you tube video on how to post roll call, because I couldn't figure it out. Next mission, posting from a Droid phone???

Anger, rage will be with you for a while. It will start to ease up somewhat. Learn to recognize it and walk off before you erupt. It gets so much better, your temper, your attitude everything, you will have a totally different outlook on life! Sounds dumb but the grass will look greener, little things will mean a lot more to you! Embrace the suck it's worth every damn second! Anyone can dip but very few people can defeat the nic bitch! Damn proud to be quit with you today my friend!

Welcome to the June Goons, brother. I believe more than a few Goons have had their fuses clipped. That video must be spot on because your roll posts were perfect. With android it's quote, press-n-hold, select all, CUT, and paste in box above. Come back here to update us on your progress. Quit with you today.

Why are you angry?
Why did you start chewing?
Why are you quit?
Who are you quitting for?
Is there resentment for others wanting you to stop?
How has chewing helped you?
Its like we have to really understand what being an addict is.
I was angry because I couldn't control it.
Angry because nicotine was stronger than my will.
Angry because I was not educated when I started.
Angry because I didn't understand the consequences of a decision I made as a Child, at the age of 12.
Angry of the reality that it didn't help me ANY. And all was a LIE.
Angry it causes cancer to my family and friends.
Angry young people are using it everyday thinking it will fill a void in there life.
Angry big companies are making money from a drug that's second only to heroin regarding addictiveness.
Addiction (Webster):
Compulsive need for and use of a habit-forming substance (as heroin, nicotine, or alcohol) characterized by tolerance and by well-defined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal; broadly : persistent compulsive use of a substance known by the user to be harmful.
Any other Reasons corbin you want to add.... I'm thinking we could go on ALL Day!
NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING ANGRY AT THINGS WORTH BEING ANGRY ABOUT.
Now is time to Forgive, educate, teach, tell the truth, build peoples self esteem, Focus on relationships and not chemicals, Break away from chains, Fight big companies.
Post Rolls, Talk about our anger and Rage on here at KTC, EDD, ODAAT
Quit with you today.

Glad you found KTC. Glad you joined the group. Whenever you have the time feel free to join in on the discussions between roll posts.
I'm on day 19. The rage is bad. But that is the best part of KTC. We are all going through the same shit, or have gone through it already. I use KTC to funnel my anger. Just rant to anyone here, call people names or whatever you need to do. I would likely be divorced if I didn't go hulk on KTC people. (Joking, my wife would still keep me, but I WOULD be on the couch).
-
Welcome to the site KTC saved me , I also tried many times by myself to quit.
This time it's sticking.
Day 11, feeling good , my rages have ended a few days ago. No more fog since day 4 and sleeping through the night since day 6.
Quit with you today.

Dano, thanks for all the support. You were the first one to welcome me, to direct me to roll call and introduction, as well as droid instructions for roll call. Thank you... Thank you...Quit with you today.

Congratulations, no doubt at one month you still have some rough days ahead....but they won't be rougher then the 30 days you are leaving behind. Keep grinding.

One month is bad ass. If you still have anger issues, come here and start raging. Use your brothers and sisters to let that out, save your employees the grief. You want digits to yell at someone, PM and you'll have 'em.

Pab,
I think we were in the same sinking ship. Proud to be quit with you brother. You are obviously way ahead of me in quit days but I am logging them one at a time. I am damn proud to follow your footsteps out of this fucked up existence of independence. I don't care how bad next week is or the next one thing I have learned KLC is one chew is never ever OK. One chew = one can = one more year. Hell No!

This quit is growing roots!
Great start Corbin.
Quit with you today. ODAAT

My OH SHIT Moment
It was Friday, we had a huge job in front of us, if everything went perfect it was going to be a 12 hour day. The guys were already bitching about such a big job on a Friday and all the reasons why we were not going to get done started before we left the shop. We got started and immediately ran into issues. The home owners, both husband and wife, graciously took the day off work to stand over our shoulders and question everything, of course referring multiple times how their cousins friends uncle (or whoever) was a contractor and this is what he said. Needless to say stress level is “code red”, and then it starts to rain. I head to the truck for my raingear and get back to work. I drop some screws in the pocket of my raincoat and hear that old familiar sound “ting” I knew exactly what it was, and after 30 years of addiction, I could tell by the sound it was not empty, a quick shake verified it. OH SHIT!!! I’m around it all day, just part of the construction industry and been perfectly fine with my quit, even to the point of being easy. I managed go hunting, mow the yard, grill, get drunk, and even take a shit without it. However, this was my can, my brand, in my pocket at the absolute wrong time. Out of nowhere the nic bitch started SCREAMING, drowning out any rational thoughts. “Just one, you desire it, today is an exception, calm your nerves, you proved you could quit one won’t hurt, you are not going to get thru the day without it, one chew and you will feel so much better” She hadn’t even knocked on the door in weeks and now she is in my face like a drill sergeant screaming her head off, demanding my cave, and for a moment with my head pounding and blood pressure ready to explode, it seemed like the only option. Finally a bit of logic came back to me, and the thought of having to starting over at Day 1, breaking my promise to the Goons and KTC brothers and sisters, letting myself down. I had visions of being water boarded by the KTC clan, demanding answers to the three questions, and without even looking down at it, I handed the can to one of my guys and asked him to get rid of it now, and make sure I don’t see it again. This was my first OH Shit moment that came from out of nowhere and hit like a freight train. When these guys tell you never let your guard down, LISTEN. When they say the nic bitch is always near, LISTEN. When you think you got this, YOU DON’T!
My question for you is have you had your OH SHIT moment? If so, please share. If not, are you ready for it?
For me, I know I need to get more involved here, because she will be back. Proud to Quit with YOU.

Dude, I've never read your intro (until now) and haven't a clue who you are. 1) I would be so F'n pissed if you caved 2) I'm so F'n proud of you that you didn't. See...one simple post and a random guy like me comes by, sees this type of badassery, gives me quit wood, and makes me feel compelled to congratulate you.
We may be strangers, but I know you...and I give a damn. Well done brother!
