Tomorrow is my quit date. I have chewed heavily for 8 years and i haven't been able to quit on my own. Many of my friends and family members chew so I am around it all the time. I need some positive encouragement to get this done. I don't understand this site yet, so any help would be appreciated.

The basic concept of the site is simple:
- Show up each day, as close to first thing in the morning as possible, and give your promise to a bunch of other quitters that you will not use nicotine today.
- Keep your promise.
- Come back tomorrow and do it again.
For the specifics on how to post roll call and how the site works, check out the Welcome Center (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showforum=13).
One question for you: Can you give me any good reason why you can't spit the shit out right now and get started?
Tomorrow won't feel any easier. You can do this.

I dont have any room to start up here as anyones cheerleader, but Im gonna.
Im on day 2, reading through this stuff on here will get you through cravings. You will get a message from a guy at just the right time to make you feel better. Aside from that you will see all the people who have done it, they are still going, so naturally I know I can do it too.
I am surrounded by dippers too, I promise you, if you are around them you will want a dip, but getting a couple days of quitting under you id imagine it gets better, I had barely made it 24 hours, and two guys were dippin around me, I actually felt like it was gross.
Like these guys say, just do it, tomorrow wont be easier than today, private message me or whatever.... If you start now you will be in our january 2012 100 day group.

One question for you: Can you give me any good reason why you can't spit the shit out right now and get started?
I agree. Go have your "ceremonial" last dip right now with a beer, after sex...whatever your grand vision is.
I made a habit of having a start date tomorrow. It NEVER worked!
Quit right now.

Quit right now.
There is no tomorrow here. It never comes. Today. 1 day at a time. Today. Flush your dip and post roll.

I don't understand this site yet, so any help would be appreciated.
Let me give you the Idiot's Guide to KTC: we quit today.
How?
1. Grab balls (if present).
2. Post roll (see welcome center in the upper left)
3. Keep you word all day (integrity).
4. Come back tomorrow and repeat (ground hog it).
So, to summarize...if you really focus on step one, you will see there is a prerequisite of having balls....backbone per se. So, if you feel that have the grandes juevos to partake I say "Have at it Hoss". If you would like those raisins to become giant quit balls of steel, I suggest the same.

... and 'tomorrow' didn't work. The dude never even came back to read the responses to his post. The only sure way to quit is to spit the shit out right NOW.

Thanks for all the advice. i haven't had a chance to get back on here, but i will try to figure out the roll, etc. I have been clean since 11:00 pm on 9/29. It's not easy and I am avoiding everyone I know right now...But I plan on doing it for good this time. Also, I am a female!!

Welcome dgossard and congratulations on quitting. You can do this! It will not be easy these first few days, but remember them and know that you never have to repeat them.
your quit group=January 2012 (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=5270). this is where you will post roll.
how to post roll call (http://www.killthecan.org/roll/)
Post roll each day as the first thing- that is your promise to all of us that you will not use.
glad to be quit with you,
30

Incidentally, there are several other women on this site....

Oops... I guess that's what I get for making assumptions. Sorry about that - I was just a little disappointed when I checked and you hadn't been back.
It's good to hear that you started on schedule and are sticking with it. Hang in there - it's worth it! Reach out if you need anything; there are hundreds of people on this site who have been where you are now and made it through.

Oh boy. Female you say? I regret my earlier outburst and will have to change my tone.
Listen up little hoochie momma. We post roll everyday. Don't mess with the system. You just jumped into a snake pit of pain. If you're willing to fight to stay clean, I don't care if you wear high heels and skirt or a pink jump suit or a naughty nurses outfit...you'll get the finest support day and night that you can find. It doesn't matter if you have a penis between your legs or no penis between your legs or the thing Gmann has, a quitter is a quitter. But it requires posting roll everyday.
-
Welcome aboard dgossard! Post up and take your quit one day at a time, it sucks ,but it works and is damned rewarding in the amount of freedom from the nic bitch you will gain! nico 152 days of freedom
-
Thanks for all the help, support and humor. It's been 3 days and I am pretty cranky, but I'm doing ok. I have a little more help and motivation this time around so I think I can do it. Amazing how jumpy I am one minute and sleepy the next.
-
dgosard,
There is no such thing as i think. Just remember you only have to quit for one day. Then you post roll and quit for that day. I had a fear of the one day at a time thing, but as you can see it really works. Just stay with it. Post roll everyday. The bitch will argue and fight with you just never let her back in your life. We are all too good for that whore.

I have been chewing for over 8 years. I quit for 3 months and started again during a heavy bout of depression. Now I am chewing 1 to 2 cans a day. I have Insomnia so I have one in my mouth 24/7 it seems. I need to quit. I would like to have some tips or advice on how others have quit. I'm tired of this controlling my life and it is. Any help would be appreciated. Thank-you.

First place I would go for advice is here, lots of solid quitters left a lot of wisdom:
index.php?showtopic=5301st=0 (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=5301&st=0)
You said you quit for three days. What happened?
Quitting is not easy; you did it for 3 months.
The only way I know how to quit is:
1. Post roll every morning when I wake up.
2. keep my word
3. Repeat
Dump your can and post day one now. Quit one day at time, starting today!

I'll go an extra step and say five minutes at a time. Dude it ain't easy, and maybe we'll talk more about the depression and how that affects you. BTDT, and it is ugly, but nicotine is the devil's deception in dealing with that, this I know. You have embarked on an 'undo it yourself' project, but this site right here, if you allow it, will help you through so you don't have to do it all by yourself. Post the roll, every day. Quit for just five minutes, then quit again for the next five.

dgossard, you can do this. These guys who tell you to take it one day at a time know what they are talking about. Post roll every morning, get through that day, and do it again. I was no different than you 100 days ago. I thought I needed chew to do anything or to be happy doing anything. I started posting roll every day and took it one day at a time. Only one day at a time. That is key, only think about the current day. It got so much easier ever day I posted roll. Today I am on day 100 without chew or nicotine and go through my days without even thinking about it. You've got this. Water, bubble gum, exercise, and roll every morning. If a 20 year chewer like me can do it, you can do it - your future self will thank you.

3.5 days. I am going a bit nuts. My cravings are horrible. I am being an absolute bitch to those around me without meaning to be. I have retreated to my bedroom for the most part and an occassional trip to the back deck to stand in the rain and think. I didn't realize how many things I did and had a chew in my mouth...almost everything. Trying to think positive, but my negativity keeps creeping in. I'm sure I drove one particualr friend crazy today since he and my immediate family are the only ones in on this. I'm afraid he will have second thoughts about trying to help me through this by the time it's over. Anyway, wanted to thank everyone here for their good thoughts and well wishes. I'm taking it one day at a time...I guess that's all we can do.

dgossard, just get through today. Don't worry about being grumpy, that will pass very soon. This might seem impossible now, but trust me that it is much easier than you think it is going to be. Just get through one day at a time, don't look ahead. You can get through today. Deal with tomorrow tomorrow. I've done that every day for 105 days after chewing for 20 years and now I don't even think about nic. You've got this. Be glad this sucks, you will never have to go through it again and the suck will keep you from caving.
