Hey everyone. I'm Jeremy. I'm not sure if this is where I'm supposed to post or not. But I figure someone will let me know what to do. I tried to figure it out, but the old brain isn't working too well today. Today is day number one so I'm a little out of it. I've dipped for the last 15 years. I'm 29 years old. So when I think about it, I've dipped longer than I haven't. This year I'm making a career change so I figured, I need to quit now before I'm 30. I've told myself for about the last 5 years that I was going to quit at New Years or something like that, but I didn't really mean it. I loved it too much. But this time, I'm 100% serious. I'm going into health care and the wife and I are planning on having kids in a year or so. I'd really like to be here to watch my kids grow up and not be the ugly guy in the corner with his jaw missing. That's just a little bit about me. If someone can direct me to where I need to go, that'd be awesome. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone because I know I can't do this on my own. I've tried and failed everytime.

Sounds like a plan. I'm glad I quit too. I'm tired of being a slave.

Head to the Quit groups- yours will be October and start reading all of the welcome information that is hyperlinked- learn why we post roll and learn how to do it.

Congrats Boomer!! This is a great decision you have made. I am 31 and dipped for 17 years. I'm on day 13. The fog has settled and I'm pretty clear now. You will go thru a lot of milestones in the next few days. Just remember hang in there, because the air is so much cleaner without the fog and it won't take long until you're there. Drink a lot of water, eat seeds, pistachios, fake dip, (yes fake dip is ok just as long as nicotine doesn't enter your body) etc. If ya have a craving, give it the ol' 'Finger' and have a nice day! You will want to 'bang head' so many times and cave but thats what we're for. We are your support system. I've lived on this site for that last 13 days and it helps a ton!!! Stay active on the chat portion and kick this things ass!!!
-
I'm looking forward to being able to think. I know day 1 can't be as bad as day 2 or day 3 and so on. But like it says, I'm not worried about those days right now. I'm worried about day 1 today and I'll worry about day 2 tomorrow. I'm just ready to not worry about it. Damn tobacco.
-
Congrats on a great choice, Boomer!!! Just take it one day at a time. You can do this, brother.
Clear thinking may be a little farther off for an Okie like you :lol: Just kidding!!! Welcome to the fight. Post roll, read all you can and repeat. You've taken the first step, we've got your back from now on...
-
Haha. I'm a Texan...but I went to OU, so I'm a Sooner. Best of both worlds!!!! Thanks fo having my back guys. I feel like this is the first time I have a support system who will help me get through this.

Good job posting that Day 1. Now keep your word.
My suggestion now is to Get Involved:
Read: Introductions (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showforum=25) and HOF Speeches (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=90). Read the banter in other groups. Read the non-dip discussions in the Wilcard (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showforum=11) section when you want to get away from thoughts of dip. By doing this you will realize that you are not alone in the feeling you are having. You will gain strength through others. And, you will get to know these people on a personal level, which adds accountability.
Send out a few PMs:
Send out a PM to someone in your group, or to someone that posted something that you related to. Offer your phone number. I bet you will get a phone number in return. Store those numbers in your phone and USE THEM in a moment of weakness. Sending a text out has prevented me from caving more than a few times. Sometimes I didn’t even need a response, just taking a few seconds to text was all it took to get me thinking straight again. Other times the response I got was, “you do NOT have permission to cave”, which I took to heart.
Every tool you need to QUIT and remain QUIT is here, for free, but you have to want it. No one can quit for you, but we can offer support whenever you need it.

Yep. What sucks is right after eating lunch. After breakfast wasn't too bad, but I ate lunch, got back to work, and was like hell yeah. I'll pop a fatty and knock this shit out. Then was like, dang it. Nope. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever again. I'll make it.

Quit all day long- learn to have a nice stick of gum or whatever else- it gets easier everyday-

another texan, good to have you. I am on day 17, here is my advise.....dont plan on getting much work done for a week, 4th of July week may help you here.... sleep in if you can, change your routine up, fuck schedules, get quit. Work out, walk, sweat, drink water. Every craving you have, dont ignore it, fight it, fight through it. Make this shit a challenge, you are not a pussy, fight the craving, beat it! Again, dont worry about anything but your quit right now, fuck work (if you can), get some excersice, drink water and do what you need to do to sleep. PM me for anything, get some phone numbers--you can Quit if I did, i promise.
-
The game plan is to not drink very much over the holiday weekend so I can keep to my plan. It sucks so far, but I know it will get better.
I know there was a page for where everyone is from, shoot I signed up on it, but now I can't find it. Where in Texas are you from?
-
Dallas
-
Me too. Well, actually live in Carrollton, but not too many know where that is...unless you live in Dallas.
-
Hey Boomer - saw you are posting roll, great, keep it up.
Hope the fog isn't too much of a bitch to you. Just embrace it and work through it. Mine lasted about a month, and it sucked!
Keep going. We are here with you. Quit on brother.
Proud to be quit with you.

I haven't really posted much on my intro, but I decided to start posting more to keep it kind of as a journal so I can go back and read how shitty quitting was so I never have to do it again. Today, I am on day 19. I'm actually really proud of myself. This is the longest I've been in 15 years without a dip.
The first few days were brutal. I couldn't think. Everything was just foggy. I had no clue what I was doing. Multiple times I thought to myself, why am I quitting? I love dipping. Then my brain would switch over and say you're quitting because you're smart, you love your wife, and you will love your future kids and would like to be there for them as long as possible.
After about day 5 or 6 things got better. I remember hitting day 7 and was like, wow, it's already been a week!!!! Then the cravings started coming and I wanted to bash someones head in. Some were worse than others, but I made it. I remember the amount of pride I had when I hit 10 day. Double digits. That's insane. Now, tomorrow will be 20 days. Another milestone. Everyday, I feel like I'm getting stronger and stronger, but I know I must always be careful. I have to quit everyday and take it one day at a time.
I met up with CBird last night for food and drinks. I'm really thankful that guy lives so close to me because he is a great person for support. When I'm down, or struggling, he can help me get through it. I will definitely use him as a crutch to get me through the tough times. I've also been talking to Haas0311. Even though we just "met" and he's in Houston and I'm in Dallas, it feels like we've been buddies for years. We'll text back and forth just shooting the shit and making sure we're staying strong and still quit. He's also going to be a good brother to help me quit.
That's all for now. I'll try to update my intro at least once a week so I can look back at my progress and hopefully help some other young person one day.

I had my first dip dream last night in 26 days. I had a dip in and didn't even realize it. Once I did, I was like wtf??? I just ruined my streak??? Then my buddy turns to me and goes, no man, you've got in some fake stuff that's actually pretty good. My other buddy goes yeah man, that fake stuff is good shit. It felt so real it was crazy. Once I finally woke up and realized it was just a dream, I had such a sense of relief. I was like hell yeah. Signing in on roll call and adding one more day to it. Staying quit isn't always easy, but life isn't easy. Gotta be tough. "Much Tougher"

Today is day 42. It has been a roller coaster of a ride with many highs and lows. Lately, everything has been highs so I can't complain. I do still catch myself doing something and I'm like, "FUCK. I need a dip." But I just talk myself through it and tell myself to not be stupid and it works out. It's kind of frustrating though. I thought the toughest part was going to be when I was drinking, but it turns out, the toughest part is when I'm just doing random shit. Especially outside.
We got a little pool to try and stay somewhat cool in the Texas heat and I found myself setting it up and looking around like I was missing a piece for it. I was thinking what am I missing here??? Then I go oh yeah, a nice big dip. I just shook my head and said nope. So then three hours later of trying to setup this redneck pool, I had forgotten about the dip.
By no means am I "cured". I don't think I will ever be cured. That's a word for ham. I figure I'll have to post roll on here for a long time and every day I will have to make a conscious decision to not put dip in my mouth. But with the support of my brothers and sisters, I do know that it's possible.

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about!! It's that "missing" something feeling that creeps up smacks you in the face. These craves have subsided, but haven't gone away fully for me yet on day 105, but maybe they'll go away on day 106

Man...now I'm so confused. I figure with a name like your's you are a State too North to be a cool Texan but it looks like I'm wrong.
DFW here and we have a real pool so stop on by....

@Boomer: If you don't already, I would suggest buying some of the fake dip. I use it for those random craves that pop up that you mentioned. Always work great to sate the hunger so to speak. ive heard great things about smokey mountain. supposedly most every walmart carries it but ive checked four where I live and have yet to find any.
I bought some Bacc Off! online, its only 2.45 a can. From experience, unless you dipped fine cut, the only pinchable one is the original mint. or get pouches. the flavor in all of them isnt really there and the mint isnt normal dip mint (its peppermint) which I find strange.
Anyway, if you want something to stick in there during your craves, this is the way to go. Another cool thing about the bacc off site is (if you try and end up liking) when you checkout you can choose to sign up to automatically send you more, so you never run out.
Im quit with you, and CONGRATS on 43 days!

Nicotine works by attaching itself to nerve receptacles in your brain that release dopamine. Dopamine:
In the brain, dopamine functions as a neurotransmitter—a chemical released by nerve cells to send signals to other nerve cells. The brain includes several distinct dopamine systems, one of which plays a major role in reward-motivated behavior. Every type of reward that has been studied increases the level of dopamine in the brain, and a variety of addictive drugs, including stimulants such as cocaine, amphetamine, and methamphetamine, act by amplifying the effects of dopamine. Other brain dopamine systems are involved in motor control and in controlling the release of several important hormones.
Basically, your brain wants to be happy. However, the evil drug Nicotine has confused it into thinking the only way to be happy is through...Nicotine! It's a parasite that is seeking a symbiotic relationship with you.
Many of the nerve cells in your brain are also closely associated with our memories. However, the evil drug Nicotine tries to rewrite history to show that good times were good because of it, and bad times were better with it. It's the Kim Jong Il and the Iraqi Information Minister all rolled up into one.
The key is to deal with the moment. Like you said, you were fine a short time later. Know that it will take a few times to (Insert random activity where you used to use) to re-map your brain. That's why the first 3 days are such hell. Most of us used all the time. We didn't know how to act without the drug. We couldn't fucking do anything without it.
And then it got better.
This, too, will get better.

Haha. Yeah, the wife and I went to OU. Now we live in Carrollton. I just figure if I spend $60k on an education, by god, I'm a Sooner. Lol. And what's funny is this Friday I'm quitting my job to go back to school because accounting sucks. I'm either really smart or really stupid. Can't decide yet.
Where are you in DFW?

Had my second dip dream last night. This one was way more intense than the first one. In my dream I dipped like half a can before I realized I had. Then I got all depressed because I was on day 44 and I didn't want to go back to zero and even worse, I didn't want to get on here and type day 1 and hear all the shit. But then I woke up and realized it was just a dream. You have no idea how happy I was when I realized that. So I smiled, rolled back over, and went back to sleep knowing that when I woke up, the first thing I was going to do was post roll on day 44.

Boomer, I am proud to be a Duck along with you brother! Don't worry because you are a Duck and there are quite a few of us with loud Quackers and we would be more than happy to show you our love and um...appreciation for you having the balls to post up your day 1. However, the great news is that you don't have to worry about that shit right now. You are quit, the Nic Bitch tried to give you a wet dream and you woke up more or a bad ass today than you were yesterday.

I know you meant this statement in support and I will not take away from you the encouragement you offer your fellow group....
But be careful not to let even a hint of acceptance in for a member to fail.... It may allow a weak member to cave because they believe it would be ok and they would be accepted back with appreciation. It has to be known that caving is NOT acceptable! I know that you feel the same way and that it is not how you meant this statement to sound. But be careful because words carry a lot of weight for less grounded newbies to misinterpret.
Those dreams suck right Boomer?!?! Good thing its only a dream. keep posting BADASS!
And Great job guys.... I like the support I see within your group!

Jake, trust me the fact that I alone made that statement and my actions have proven that I am by no means one to give an inch. It was Sarcasm, but I do appreciate your pointing that out. Anyone wondering how I meant it should review my track record or ask around.
I am here to help hold you accountable and if you promise me that you QUIT and you cave like a little spineless bitch I will be one of the first to let my discontent be made aware.

We are in Fort Worth, I am going to consider you a Texan even though I don't like how you got your education.
Good luck on going back to school. BTW, I don't think you are supposed to like what you do for a living, there is no fun in that.
Stop having dip dreams!!!!!
I quit with you.

Haha. i grew up liking the longhorns but then realized Austin was too liberal for me. I loved Norman. Great town.
We've got some friends moving back to Ft. Worth. They grew up there, went to school with us, then had to move to Killeen because her fiancé is in the army. But they're coming back. I'll prob end up in grad school out there at TCU.

Son of a bitch. I'm on day 45 and after the suck phase everything has been smooth sailing. I'll have my craves here and there but for the most part it just comes and goes. But I'll be damned, it seems like every day in the 40s have been a battle between me and the nic bitch. I'm not giving in because I've gone this far but every day she comes at me with something new. I guess the "honeymoon" phase of the quit is over and now I'm just quit. Kind of sucks. But I know I'll get through it.

Son of a bitch. I'm on day 45 and after the suck phase everything has been smooth sailing. I'll have my craves here and there but for the most part it just comes and goes. But I'll be damned, it seems like every day in the 40s have been a battle between me and the nic bitch. I'm not giving in because I've gone this far but every day she comes at me with something new. I guess the "honeymoon" phase of the quit is over and now I'm just quit. Kind of sucks. But I know I'll get through it.

One day at a time my man.... ODAAT!

Man...now I'm so confused. I figure with a name like your's you are a State too North to be a cool Texan but it looks like I'm wrong.
DFW here and we have a real pool so stop on by....
Haha. Yeah, the wife and I went to OU. Now we live in Carrollton. I just figure if I spend $60k on an education, by god, I'm a Sooner. Lol. And what's funny is this Friday I'm quitting my job to go back to school because accounting sucks. I'm either really smart or really stupid. Can't decide yet.
Where are you in DFW?
We are in Fort Worth, I am going to consider you a Texan even though I don't like how you got your education.
Good luck on going back to school. BTW, I don't think you are supposed to like what you do for a living, there is no fun in that.
Stop having dip dreams!!!!!
I quit with you.
Haha. i grew up liking the longhorns but then realized Austin was too liberal for me. I loved Norman. Great town.
We've got some friends moving back to Ft. Worth. They grew up there, went to school with us, then had to move to Killeen because her fiancé is in the army. But they're coming back. I'll prob end up in grad school out there at TCU.
Norman isn't as cool as Stillwater....
Hang in there on those 40 something craves. They just seem really strong but if you could go back to those first two weeks and compare...I bet these are nothing....
I quit with you.

Well, I officially have no job and my wife is supporting me while I'm going back to school. She took the last 5 or 6 days off so we could just hang out and relax a little before school starts and shit gets crazy. It was great. Golf, bowling, massages, good food, my band playing down in Deep Ellum. And even better, only once during that time was I like well shit, I want a dip. But I know just as fast as it got good, it can get bad so I'm going to continue posting roll every damn day. And just wanted to remind myself that I am truly a lucky and blessed guy to have a wife who will let me quit my job to follow my dreams and support me while I'm quit.

Kick ass Boomer, way to celebrate both of your QUITS! You have a great spouse and a great outlook on things.
I am proud to be one of your fellow Ducks, as you make all of us "Much Tougher"!

Lets see. Today is Friday, August 30,2013. I am 61 days into my quit and just finished my first week of nursing school. It was by far one of the craziest weeks I've ever had. Normally I'm in control of most situations, but this week I was running around like a chicken with my head cutoff. But I made it through. And most importantly, I didn't cave. I think I might have thought about dip maybe once during the week but that was for about a minute then I was like, ain't nobody got time for that. Then got back to freaking out about school. No school today so that means a 4 day weekend, but I'm going to mow the yard and keep on reading those books to try to stay ahead. I want to graduate #1. If you're not first, you're last.

Boomer its the nature of the beast medical anything...they pour it on thick so that they can get the dead wood out and concentrate on the ones still standing. Keep it up you have accomplished much more and you are doing it one day at a time. You are kicking the shit out of the most addicting chemical in the world... a little rectal temp aint nothing you got both of these man.

Congrats on making it through your first week of school!!

Son of a bitch. I just want to apologize to all my ducks. I didn't post roll yesterday. I thought I did, but I guess between the 10-12 hours of studying I thought I did one thing but actually didn't. It's my first time to miss roll since I started. If I feel this bad/guilty just for missing roll, I can't imagine what I would feel like if I caved. Fuck that. Def not missing roll again until I reach 100 and not missing roll for a long time after that. You guys are my support system and without you, my quit wouldn't be possible. So my apologies fellas.
Much Tougher,

The KTC train is gaining speed and the passengers are ready to welcome our newest member BoomerSooner007 . Thought for sure we wouldn't be rolling through longhorn country to pick up a sooner but we are headed to Garland, Texas. This brave student thankfully decided after starting dipping at a young age of 14 it was a good idea to quit that, also quit his accounting job and become a full time nursing student studying to be a Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice while hanging out with his wife and 3 dogs. Asked about any inappropriate behavior, "I don't think any of my behavior is appropriate. I just try to offend the least amount of people. Actually I don't. I offend them all. I drink, I cuss, I'm pretty much a bad example for a human being with the exception of I respect people and treat them like I would want to be treated." If you are ever around the Dallas area and see a person in OU garb sitting in the back of a '99 Black Jeep Cherokee (aka black beauty) with over 200k miles playing his guitar it might be this badass quitter. And finally when asked about who on KTC he found most inspiring Boomer replied, "CBird. Met up with him about a week or two into my quit. Signed his shirt that everyone from the HOF signed. He said alright, now you've got to keep your word and make it. And I am. And Haas. He's just a good old boy. One day I was flipping out about school and my computer wouldn't let me post roll, shot him a text and posted for me in a minute. I let everyone know today was my first day of rotations in the hospital and Haas shot me a text saying if you need anything, give me a shout. Just a good guy." Welcome aboard the train BoomerSooner007.

I always hold my breath when I click on these intros with lots of posts that I am going to have to read some Day 1 bullshit. Not here - just solid bad ass quitting!
Congrats on 500. Also - after reading through your intro I had to pull a line from one of your posts and add to my signature:
"By no means am I "cured". I don't think I will ever be cured. That's a word for ham." - Boomersooner007

Me too. Well, actually live in Carrollton, but not too many know where that is...unless you live in Dallas.
Hey brother, I am in Forney!!! Congratulations on your quit. I would start in the Welcome Center and read Hall Of Fame (HOF) speeches to stay motivated through the first three days of withdrawal! Message me if you would like my phone number to stay in touch and keep each other accountable.
