Hello all,
I, like many of you, have tried and failed in the past. I know this time is different and I will be done for good. I got hooked in college and have been a daily user of Cope Wintergreen for the past 4-5 years. I have a job that is mostly boring and involves a lot of driving. I also enjoy outdoor activities. These are some of my biggest triggers but I have plans in place to get through without needing a tin.
I quit because $1,500 a year is an insane number that you never really see when you get a tin here, a tin there.
I quit because I am tired of sneaking around, hiding it from my boss and family members.
I quit for my health. I watched my grandfather die from lung cancer. Shame on me for ever putting this crap in my body.
I quit because my wife and I are going to have kids someday and I want to be there in their lives for a very long time.
Thanks everyone

Hi Zach
You did the right thing by posting roll. That is your promise that you will not use nic today at all what so ever or how ever.
While your at it you should go a read some HOF speeches and some WOW threads. Some powerful words in there.
Do what you need to do to get through today nic free (seeds, jolly ranchers, etc etc) , fake chew what ever just do it and come back tomorrow and promise one more time.
Remember yesterday is over we cant change that, tomorrow is not here yet. All we have is today. Make it today then we will will worry about tomorrow when it gets here.
I quit with you brother!!!!

Money was a big motivator for me as well. Whatever it takes to be quit, then do it.

Just lay back and "enjoy" the ride. You'll be amazed after a day or two that you said no. You'll look forward to next week because things will start to clear up. Well, they probably won't. It takes some time. The first 30-45 days have a shitload of fog frustration, and anger. Post roll EDD, beat nic ODAAT.
You can. I quit with you.

Today not terrible, but I am finding that I want to eat everything in sight. That isn't good but whatever it takes.
I can't really concentrate on one thing and I feel like I am not enjoying the day like I should.
My main plan is to try and stay busy....boredom makes it worse.

Just a thought, I see you like duck hunting, I got a friend that started carving ducks in his spare time. He goggled it and now he's carving some beautiful ducks. Quit on!

That's a tough one. I'm with you. Lots of sugar free crap (gum mints etc). Not completely calorie free though.
Might try some fake chew or you can get mint leaves and chew them. Obviously exercise.
Get through 30 days doing whatever it takes. Do your best on diet, but put the quit first. At 30 or so (40+ for me) you are ready and have some energy to start doing more like diet and exercise.

Stay strong young duck Hunter...
And you go ahead and eat everything thats slower than you are, for now.
The concentration thing will improve,and later it will excel far beyond what you used to do.
Staying busy is good.... Every battle is a victory when you do it without cancer.
In the beginning its like fighting the worse of two evils. It gets better.
I can say I enjoy the Quit now.
You will too...soon enough.
Proud to quit with you today.

Honestly today felt pretty good. Still tired but no real physical cravings to speak of...just the mental fight of thinking about it, remembering it. I have been telling everyone that I'm quit so that it keeps me from screwing up and looking like a liar/weak asshole
Weird thing today... Took the wife out to a nice Mexican restaurant tonight. Eating an enchilada plate and almost stop dead while chewing because my brain said that there was cope straight in my mouth
Very weird, I didn't even Chew cope straight other than really a few times in my whole life and didn't prefer it. The taste was so real though that I actually looked through my food to make sure the cook didn't spit cope in it or something 'Crazy'
Anyone else ever have that happen....like a taste hallucination? It must have been some sort of smokey flavor but it was 100% cope to my taste buds

Personally I've never heard of that but it really don't suprise me. You will see and taste alot of different shit while your brains rewiring. Doing great! Quit on !

I have "stopped" in the past, thinking I could quit. I had so many "planned dates" that sounded good at the time. It ended up being just a random day that set me free. There was no special occasion to memorialize. It was a Monday, just a Monday. I am now at 40 days and have never been without chew for this long in the last 5 years. This is, without a doubt, due to everything at KTC.
The articles, the support, the other BAQ's. It is a cocktail of badassery that works. It works.
I am thankful for that.
