Hey everybody,
I am 32 and have chewed a little over half of my life..... I am done. I am done with constantly having a chew in (only time I do not is when I eat and sleep), I am done with buying a can every morning, I am tired of worrying when cancer will get me, I am done with the huge expense of this stupid habit, and I am done saying I will quit one of these days.
TODAY is the day. I am halfway through the workday without one and it already sucks....
I hope that with the support of my wife and this site, I will be able to EARN my HOF.
Thanks,
Duspan

Duspan- welcome! First off u used the only 4 letter word not allowed around here "hope". You WILL quit this time. GreAt job on the 1/2 day. No looking back! Get up to the welcome center at the top of the page and get yourself comfortable!

916 is right. Here at KTC, we do not hope. It's weak shit that belongs elsewhere.
The 4-letter word we do like is QUIT.
Discard your hope, give your balls a good tug, and post roll in your quit group, Pre HOF March 2012. Once you've posted roll, you won't need to hope. All that will be left to do is keep your word. You then are presented with the option of strengthening your quit to further withstand the attacks of the nic bitch by reading everything on the site and swapping numbers with your quit brothers. Take some time to get to know them. Then read some more. Again, completely optional, highly advised.
If I can do anything to help (number, someone to rage and yell at, anything at all), throw a PM in my direction. I'll be happy to help.

I stand corrected....

Summon your inner badass, kick the nic bitch to the curb and be ready for the suck. Embrace the suck, it'll make you stronger...
Venture over to the welcome center and learn how to post roll, then head over to March'13 and post your first roll call. Posting roll is giving your word, YOUR PROMISE to yourself and your brothers/sisters that you will not use nicotine that day. We post roll every day, EVERY FUCKING DAY. Why? I'm an addict, as an addict I cannot promise you that I will be quit in a year or forever, but today? Easy peasy, I will not use nic today. One day at a time, that's how we quit brother.
Glad you're here, PM me if you need anything

Duspan...what up and welcome! I am on day four of quiting. Today has been good and bad.
I'm learning this KLC. One thing I have learned in 4 day is... Listen to the veterans....use this site. It totally helps me. I'm chewing gum now and I'm ready to go home to see my family. I own this day!!
Good luck! KC Bronco

Holy Hell!
I spit my last chew of my life out this morning and I just looked at the clock...... Not even 12 hours yet. Gonna be a long night.

Great job! I see you posted. Get prepared these next few hours will be tough. Drink a crapload of water, get some seed, candy, gum, whatever will get u thru tonight! Worry about tomorrow when it comes.
Getting my ass to bed early helped me...
Pm if U need any help or a kick in the ass
I quit with u today!

Good advice 916!
One thing I'd like to add: Exercise. If you don't exercise, now would be a great time to start. If you do exercise, drop a gear and mash it to the floor.
Exercising is a great source of the endorphins your body was so used to getting when you filled your lip with cat turd. It did (and still does) wonders for me when I'm craving hard or having trouble sleeping. So if you find yourself struggling, get your sweat on!

Thanks for the welcome guys.
Today is just a whole bunch of SUCK. This is pretty hard. I layed in bed this morning for twenty minutes trying to talk myself into going to the store for some chew. I didnt go but but it was a hard fight to win..

It's hard, but its just a decision. Don't let the bitch take you for everything you have. You decide whether you pick up a can or not. You decide how much your going to let her mess with your head.
Yes, you're going to get cravings, but they pass quicker than you will believe. When you feel one coming on, do ANYTHING but put that crap in your lip. You CAN do this and you'll look back at it with pride.
You WILL do this by posting roll and putting your honor on the line every day. Don't let her beat you. You are stronger than a voice in your head.

Making it through the day alright but I got a headache from hell.. The stupid bitch can`t run through me!

Great job. Keep your guard up and have a plan for the weekend. For me the first few weekends were tough cause i had lots of triggers and free time.
Stay quit!

Never forget the suck you are going through right now. It will help strengthen your quit. I had a 24 hour headache and many sleepless nights in the begining. It gets better as your body heals itself from all those years of addiction. You can do it. Stay quit.
