Hi all. Tried quitting a bunch of times before and looking forward to quitting with some help from my soon to be new friends here. I know there's no better day than today to quit, but I've set my quit date for Saturday. I've struggled time and again starting off on a weekday with work stresses and I think it's best for me to kick-off with a couple days at home.
The idea of the journey is pretty scary, somehow knowing that something that has been such a big part of my life for so long (even though I know it will be good) kinda freaks me out. I'd love to hear tips and pointers to make it through those rough minutes/hours/days where it just seems impossible to fight through. Anyway, looking forward to killing the can in my life.

Ahhh setting quit dates... maybe Saturday, maybe not
I tried setting dates too, after this can, after my birthday, new years day, birth of first son, birth of second son, for 18 years...
Advice, quit today and learn to hate your addiction, get pissed, and knuckle down.
This site works, if you use it.

Hey Mike
Congrats on the decision to take back control of your life. There's nothing worse than having to jump every time the Nic Bitch snaps her fingers and says it's time for another fix. I'm at day 115, and while I'm nowhere near out of the woods yet I can tell you, the freedom I feel today is well worth the struggle you're about to endure the next few weeks. The backbone of the site is posting role every day early in the morning. You're giving your brothers and yourself the promise that you will remain free for the day. Then repeat the following day. We quit One Day At A Time.
Your quit group is November (you'll hit your 100 day mark in November) Here's a link to that group. Go ahead and post today (assuming your aren't using NIC in any form) November (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/11721588/85/)
Here's a vid on posting roll that's real helpful. PC how to post roll (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/1003072/1/#new)
Spend some time reading intros and HOF speeches. You'll find they'll strengthen your determination to quit as well as take your mind off of the withdrawal to some degree. There's no getting around the withdrawal 100%. It'll suck until it doesn't. But the freedom you'll experience on the other side is worth the agony!
You can do this.
Proud to be quit beside you today!

How many tomorrow's until you sack up and say I'm done with this shit! Don't wait, that's one of the nic bitches favorite tools. You're an addict and you get this done or it will continue to rule your life. Why wait till Saturday, so you can suck on some more cat shit? I'll quit with you today but I will tell you, it's not for the weak. Let's do this!
-
Dump that shit out and quit now! I know it is scary as hell; I was there 101 days ago. I promise if you quit today there will come a day in the near future that you will be glad you did. If you don't seize this quit now, you may wake up 5, 10, 25 years from now and regret not pulling the trigger when you had the chance.
-
Can't argue with what these other fine Quitters have told you. Sack up and dump your stash now and get to Quitting!
I was in your shoes 2048 days ago. I was a date. The guys here talked me into getting rid of my stuff. I did it. Was it easy? Nope. I even called my wife to get rid of anything that was at home.
But here I am....2000+ days later. You can be here to. But when you're "going" to Quit, tomorrow may never come.
What is 3 days worth to you? Your life?
-
I would also like to add that the absolute worst part for me so far was the last hours leading up to the 72 hour mark. If that is true for you, then that would happen on Saturday if you quit now. If you wait until Saturday to quit and you actually do quit then you will go through the worst of it on Monday. Just dump it now.
-
I see you lurkin, Mike... You know its time. We get it.
I described the feeling like I was about to jump off a cliff, in the dark, blindfolded. Everything we thought we knew, everything we thought we were... Its all a lie we tell ourselves while the poison surges through our veins. Robbing us of money, our health and time.
Now is the time. This is the place. What do have to loose?
-
Well, after few hours of bargaining with myself "Saturday is better" "screw that guy telling me if I wait til Saturday it won't happen...I'll show him that I can wait and still do it" and so on, I tossed what I had left and here I go. Day 1 Quit, just posted roll. Tired of being tied to my daily can of dirt. Side note - this Smokey Mountain stuff is absolutely horrible.
-
I was definitely not "ready" to quit when I did. I even convinced myself I was going to have another one soon. My girlfriend was pissed at me, and it just was not a good time to dip around her. I made it through day 1, and I was working at home, alone. I could've easily gone and grabbed another can, but like Idaho spuds said, I started to hate nicotine. I started calling it names. I started remembering that my body never needed that shit anyway. I started taking back my life. I am now living in freedom from the nic bitch. I make my promise 24 hours at a time. I wish you well in your quit.

Nice work miker! This is the best decision you could have made.
Personally, I like the Hooch rough cut classic for my fake.

Congrats Mike
I couldn't do the Smokey Mountain either, though it works for lots of folks here. For me I'd put that stuff in my mouth and at 1st I'd think yeah! Then after a while my brain would say, "Hey! you ain't fool'n nobody with that stuff" I was always afraid it might be more of a trigger for me. Plus one of the things I like about not dipping is not having to talk around a mouth full of spit and spit cups all over the house(2 things!)
And the guys are right, and I'm sure you know it, there's never a right time to quit in the mind of an addict. It's like swimming and jumping into a pool of cold, cold water, you just got to do it!
Get to know folks in your group and exchange digits with them. There will be times you'll need to send someone a text to post roll for you, and there may be times when a text message to someone, when the going get rough, will be the only thing that saves your quit.
My digits are a PM away if you ever need them

That a boy! I'll quit with Edd ODAAT! One of the best damn decisions you've ever made. It's gonna suck until it don't. After 3 days or so the mental games will try to kick your ass. Come on here, text, call whatever just don't try it alone that's why all of us addicts are still here even these guy's with 2000 plus days, once an addict always an addict but with the help of Ktc we can keep our foot on the bitches throat! Damn proud of you and damn proud to quit with you! Digits a pm away

You are getting lots of good tips here, Mike. Congrats on one of the best decisions in your life!!
Hey, we already have something in common. 2 years ago today, I quit and never looked back.
I am 100% sure I would not still be quit today without the brotherhood and accountability here.
You've got my digits coming your way. Get to know your quit brothers in Nov 16!!

Well, a full day done on to day 2. Yesterday wasn't so bad...for about 22 of 24 hours. Those other 2 hours though... wooo doggie. Looked through every place in my house/car/pockets of pants that I may slid/dropped/stored a can before; drank water, drank coffee, ate snacks, chewed candy, glowered with hatred at all of them cuz they just didn't hit the spot. Good news though, turns out you don't turn in to a pumpkin at midnight if you haven't had a pinch. Funny how typing a name into a stupid list for strangers did help with day 1. Welp, that's my ramble for today

Sacred list, not stupid list! I give you a few months and you can kick your own ass for saying that. Man up, it will get tougher and I will ask you now you got what it takes to beat this bitch down? Sometimes we struggle for the next minute, hours at a time. Make sure you have numbers and bring your ass in here or the forums , you don't have to white knuckle alone, there's always someone to bitch with, talk to, whatever you need! Quit on and that roll you put your name on is the turning point of a new life. Believe and live live it Edd ODAAT!

2 down, the rest to go. Bring on day 3. If it weren't for the dizzying fog and inability to sleep more than 2-3 hrs at a time yesterday wouldn't have been so bad. Keeping on keeping on and amped to have this god awful addiction so far in the rear view I'm not constantly worried it's about to catch up. Thanks for your support KTC community. Really appreciating how bad of a decision dipping the last 15 years has been.

Hey Mike,
Rooting for you man. There's alot of great guys here that will help you every step of the way. Glad you made the decision to quit; PM me if you ever need anything brother.

3 days in...quite honestly wasn't sure I'd stick this long. Some meaningful amount of time each of the last few days was spent fighting with myself about staying quit and each time it was having my name on that damn list that made me stop. Thoughts would flow like, "what difference does it make, not a one of them will see you do it" or "whatever man so write your name again tomorrow just with a 1 next to it again", but having my name there representing a commitment to just for that one day to stay quit helped me get through til bedtime (where sleep is but a dream) and the next day where at least I wouldn't have promised not to use yet. Then a strange thing happens, I say to myself - damn I didn't dip yesterday, I'm going to put my name back on that list again. So here comes day 4 quit. I'm quit for today
-
Mike,
Just hit the nail on the head with your realization of why this place works ....'each time it was having my name on that damn list that made me stop'....
It is all about a person's INTEGRITY, coupled with Accountability (folks here will come hunt your sorry self down if you fail to post roll). Sooner or later you'll come to LOVE "that damn list" because you know that's what is keeping you quit!
-
Miker keep going ODAAT and like I said before that damn list will become sacred! Quit on just today, we'll worry about tomorrow when it gets here. See I can only promise you in quit today because my names on that damn list!

Funny thing - posting your daily promise inspires everyone in your group. You are quitting and helping others quit at the same time! When we keep our promise we all win!
I quit with you today miker0351 - Stranger999 day 345.
-
Weekend is over, new week starts, making progress each day. Actually slept last night - so that was good and the blurry/foggy focus times are getting shorter and less frequent. Fuck nicotine, here comes day 5 quit.
-
Miker0351,
You are off to a great start on quitting. You have 5 days invested in overcoming your addiction that you never want to repeat. You have gotten a lot of wise advice on quitting from some great vets of this site. Heed their words. All I will add is that you are young and have a lot of life ahead that nicotine will do nothing to improve. I regret that I did not have your smarts and guts at your age instead of waiting until my 60's to quit. You have a great gift .... Don't blow it.
-
Hope y'all don't mind I keep posting in here. I guess it's been a little longer than an introduction at this point. This quit is getting...better I guess is the word...can't call it easier. I spend way more of the day than I want to thinking about dipping, but know that I will make it through my daily commitment without it especially as I now have a 5 day point of reference. I've started to really enjoy the mornings immediately after waking up. I don't get the cravings for a little while, I am getting a nice workout in and feeling all-around great for about 45-90 min first thing just completely free. I am amazed at how much time I have in the mornings when I'm not throwing in a pinch, heading into the bathroom, and sitting and spitting until my legs fall asleep or the pinch breaks apart in my mouth. I wonder how much time I've wasted (beyond money spent, potential shortened life, etc.) just listening to the "heel" call of my former master. Crazy what we allow ourselves to view as normal behavior through this addiction. Lets go day 6! Separately, if my math is right, I noticed that my 100 days is the day before the 10 year anniversary of KTC. Guess I knew that I had to be there in order for it to be a real celebration. ;)
-
This is your room to do as you please as long as your names on roll! Doing great, just focus on ODAAT! Stay focused and reach out of you need! Probably not a person on here that don't crave. The farther along your quit the less intense and shorter the cravings get. Step on the bitch and tell her you're very aware your an addict but you ain't putting that shit in your mouth anymore! Proud to be quit with you! Quit on!
-
.... I spend way more of the day than I want to thinking about dipping,......
Man do I remember this! It was like someone screaming at me through a bullhorn every waking moment of the day. "YOU'RE QUITTING, YOU'RE QUITTING , YOU'RE QUITTING." Man was that emotionally exhausting. Unfortunately there's no shortcut around it. For me it lasted even after the withdrawal until almost day 60. But everyone is different.
Hang in there Miker, you're taking back your life! I promise, life is so much better on the other side of this phase of the quit.
The feeling of freedom is 10 times greater than the buzz from NIC.
I quit with you today.

Day 7 - Ha, not really a lot to say today. Just helps me stay focused to write something on here about staying quit. Here's to the road ahead. Good thing it's only a day long cuz much longer than that it would sure feel nearly impossible at times. One day at a time just gonna keep telling this thing no.
-
Day 8 and it's getting a little easier. A little longer before I start wanting to dip. A little easier to hush the sirens call. Also feels good to be proud for not dipping rather than ashamed that I am. One more day done sir done. I'm not goin back

Wow, been a hectic couple of days and haven't had a lot of time for posting to myself (been hitting that roll call though, that sucker's important). I needed the psychological "win" of making it past double digit days. Boy does it feel better to know that I've made it almost 2 weeks with this ugly girl in the rear view instead of in my pocket. It's definitely easier to say no (still have to say it though), and I'm super grateful for the encouragement (even if some of it is in the form of "don't be a pussy") as I keep on this journey. I'm writing to make sure that I have a reminder for myself how awful it is to get through this and how much better I feel now 12 days quit. I know that at some point I'll likely lie to myself with "it wasn't so bad, just grab a pinch to get through this bad day and you'll still be quit" and I want to make sure I have something to point myself towards. HEY! IDIOT (If you're thinking about going back)! It is that bad and you know damn well that even if the "1 pinch" lie was true, you can't do just "1 pinch". Stay honest, stay quit.

Nice work Miker. Almost a year later and I like reading new quit stories. The good the bad and the ugly. Helps me remember and helps make my quit stronger. Thanks for help making my
quit stronger.

Day 16, feeling clean...close enough to a rhyme. I may make a quit song like the 12 days of Christmas when I have some time. Today has been a little tougher than the last couple not quite sure why. Oh well, not tougher than my desire to stay quit. Pressing on and keeping firm in my commitment. 'na na'

August 10th 2016...Angry, Frustrated, Tired, Scared. Found this place while trying to find out what the odds really were that I would get cancer from chewing. Decided I was ready to give quitting another good old college try...as soon as I got to the weekend and wouldn't have the stress of work/commuting/whatever else for at least the first couple of days of quitting. Was "gently encouraged" to quit immediately and got kinda pissed off about it and thought about saying "Screw these guys. I don't need this!"
Instead, I sacked up (after a delay of a some hours) and posted a day one on August 11th. I thought the boards were stupid. I thought the website setup was stupid. I thought sharing my number with strangers was stupid. I even kinda thought quitting was stupid (after all, the government doesn't even consider 2x weekly to be a tobacco user).
Today I am quitting for my 365th day. I am excited. I am proud. I am happy. I am no longer trying to play my odds against cancer and poor oral health. If you are considering quitting, even a little bit, just go for it! It can be done. You can be the one who does it. Quit on!

Was "gently encouraged" to quit immediately and got kinda pissed off about it and thought about saying "Screw these guys. I don't need this!"
Instead, I sacked up (after a delay of a some hours) and posted a day one on August 11th. I thought the boards were stupid. I thought the website setup was stupid. I thought sharing my number with strangers was stupid. I even kinda thought quitting was stupid (after all, the government doesn't even consider 2x weekly to be a tobacco user).
Today I am quitting for my 365th day. I am excited. I am proud. I am happy. I am no longer trying to play my odds against cancer and poor oral health. If you are considering quitting, even a little bit, just go for it! It can be done. You can be the one who does it. Quit on!
Michael congrats on your 1 year quit!
You are a strong quit happening...thanks for all the support you throw around here.
Proud to quit with you.

Thank-you sincerely for sticking around and lending your shoulder to the great wheel of quit. Like the butterfly effect, who can count the permutations of quit you've sent out. Thanks Mike!
