Good Morning everyone,
My name is David From Maryland. Been trying to kick this habit for quite some time now. I am normally a pretty tough dude when it comes to making hard choices. But this is has been one of the hardest, that I have ever gone through. I have been trying so hard the last few months. I went from normal long cut (about 1 and half tins a day) to pouches (one tin a day). But today I decided enough is enough and literally took what I had left in my tin and threw it away. I do not want to be considered that weak dude that can't quit or be that person that is grumpy all the time because I do not have my nicotine fix in.
All in all, I am hoping this will be the place that truly helps me get over the hump and into promise land. I know its up to me, and it is my own will that has to do it, but its good to see a bunch of people going through the same thing as I am, I am hoping that helps.

David,
Welcome to KTC. First of all I have to correct you (keep in mind for your own good and benefit), this is not a habit it is an addiction. You might be the biggest baddest mother fucker around but none the less you are an addict, so am I. I am laying a couple of pointers with links so you can not have technology be a hurdle in your quit. Please read the list below, review and like shampoo "lather, rinse, repeat" daily until you can actually say you are quit which should at a minimum be a day longer than your addiction but I would bet cash on life.
1 - post roll daily, this is your pledge to quit to yourself and your KTC brothers, How to Post Roll (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/1003072/1/#new)
2 - post roll with Pre HOF July 2015 (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/11069030/1/), this group is selected by your quit date being today, that means in July you will hit day 100. 100 days is not cured but signifies true intent to quit and dedication
3 - be accountable for your actions, you made you an addict no one else did, so be mad at yourself not anyone else
4 - read stories on here Hall Of Fame Legends (http://forum.killthecan.org/forum/55571/), Introductions (http://forum.killthecan.org/forum/55574/), Words Of Wisdom (http://forum.killthecan.org/forum/55572/)
5 - quit for you and only you, let everyone else be a benefactor
6 - grow your network of accountability well outside of this website, it makes shit real. If you want my number to call or text shoot me a personal message and I will glad to help you along this path.
7 - find an alternative, fake dip, jerky, seeds, candy, slamming your balls in a desk drawer (anything that works for you works for you)
8 - beat cravings with exercise
9 - drink lots of water, flush out the toxins and years of abuse to your body
10 - be ready for anything and everything, this shit is nto easy but it is possible
Again, welcome to KTC,

Pinched
Pinched,
I stand corrected. You are correct it is not a habit its an addiction! I agree.
A few things its absolutely crazy how sometimes I don't even think about taking a pitch and other times it is all that I am thinking about. Like right now, reading on this site, the though of taking another pinch makes me throw up a little, reading cancer stories, even looking at some pictures does the deed. But other times like when I first wake up, taking a shit, driving a car the urge is like no other and my though process goes all out of whack. I am hoping that when I get those urges I can just turn to this site.
The funny thing is, I know that I was born into an additive family. Everyone on my fathers side smokes or has a drinking problem. Because of this, I stay away from drinking. But I with nicotine the stuff wont stay far enough from me. I mean I see it freaking everywhere, I mean we all got to fill up gas, or pass a 7-11, or even watching a guy mowing grass with a pitch in his mouth.
I feel like I can handle the physical urge of the nicotine but can not handle the mental part. (and being a baseball coach, I know in most sports its more mental than physical)
Anyhow,
Thanks for the warm welcome! especially the balls slamming in desk drawer tip! 'archer'

I see an intro and roll post, so I know you are serious. Buckle up today and for the rest of the week, drink a ton of water, and stay close to this site - it will save your life.

David: Your story is just like every other guy on this site. That could have been my intro. The point is... we're all in this together. Quitting is hard. Let's quit together today. Then we'll do it again tomorrow.

David - Like all the other people said - you have come to the right place. As for your daily routines - these are things that you may have to change in your life for a little while until your mind becomes used to the quitting. You really can't stop some routines so get some fake chew, seeds, or whatever to get you through those times. You said you are also a coach - think about the great example you are setting for your players. I quit with you today.

^^^^^What Twort just said....Buckle Up....it will suck for a bit.....after about 3 days or so the nicotine should be flushed from your system...then its just dealing with the mind trying to trick you into dipping....you will rationalize every scenario in which it is OK to dip....fight that shit....Come to this site and read....lots of great stories of quit by some great quitters....go to Live Chat...every moment you are here is time you won't be thinking about dipping....
Post Roll Every Damn Day.....Twort is right.....this site will save your life

Hey guys,
So Day one was a rough one, especially during times when I am used to dipping, my jaw is a little sore from chewing gum all day, one after another. I got through it, woke up this morning without much of an urge to dip. The urge was there but wasnt as bad as yesterday. I am going to get through these next 3 to 5 days....
I sometimes feel like a damn crack addict, because I am like cracking every bone in my body and can not sit still. I am hopeful that once the nic is out, I will be able to sit still again!
Well have a great day everyone thanks for the support!!! Quit with you all!

The pain means you are healing. Many quitters - myself included - thought Day 2 and 3 to be the worst. Redouble your efforts to be quit today/ Do you have anyone's phone number yet? A simple text can get you through a crave! PM me if you need digits, I'll drunk text you one of my special phrases that means nothing.

Pain is weakness leaving the body. Identify your trigger times and find a substitute. I used to drop and do push-ups or burpees when I had a craving and wouldn't stop until I didn't crave anymore. To quote another quitter "it is going to suck until it doesn't".
You can do this, it will not be easy. Always be prepared for anything and never let the nic bitch whispering in your ear convince you that you are weak.
Fuck nicotine, fuck cancer, fuck big tobacco...I Quit!

It's hard not to think about tomorrow, or next week, or a month from now, but put all of your effort and attention on today. Just today.
We'll deal with whatever tomorrow brings when it gets here, but for now just focus on today.

Day three!
I will be honest this has been the longest I have gone in the 9 years that I have dipped. I have kept saying in my head I will quit after blah blah blah. I have always thought about the money I would save and the health benefits of quitting but honestly I never thought about why I wanted to quit. I want to quit for me, and no one else. I have not told anyone in my family, g/f or anyone about my quit. I just stopped. My girl is going to pick up on it one way or another as I normally dip around the house and the last 3 days nada!
Yesterday was strange at random times I would sort of feel a little drunk or spaced out. I still feel the urge and have been working well with seeds, gum and water. Any time I feel the urge, I take turns between gum and seeds. Honestly, I can handle mind tricks and I am able to slap myself out of my mind tricking me, but the urges are the hardest part. I am just waiting for the day I wake up without the physical urge to dip. But like everyone says, take it one day at a time. Small victories wins the war!

David,
You didn't stop you quit. It takes a lot of balls to be a quitter. Involve her and others in your quit, it will help have direct support. Show your girlfriend the "Spousal Support" and have her be a pillar in quit for you. I stopped before my quit and now I can only think about what I would have done with all that money...new Harley, vacation, new gun...but oh well I will just enjoy my quit.
You sir are experiencing the fog, it is like you are a zombie. here is a small victory to look forward to, nicotine will be out of your system after tomorrow. Just focus on today and only today; it will get better...eventually. Food starts to taste different, your life is encompassed in quit and makes you a better person (bitchy at times but a better bitchy person). If you are ever not able to slap yourself back into reality please feel free to call me...anything to help a brother out.
I am proud of you bud,

I just poked my head into this thread and I smell nothing but quit in here. Damn sweetrice, you've pulled the trigger and quit!!!! Good for you!!! This shit is hard, extremely hard. It hurts like hell, pure hell. You can't think, your brain is mush. Your mind is constantly playing tricks on you, it's like your in a mind war with yourself. Swallow this pain, embellish it, savor ever flavor of it, and try to enjoy it. It's your body healing, it's your road to a better you and better life. I remember my first three weeks like a movie I watched a 100 times. I enjoy remembering the pain, it reminds me of two things, how wonderful I feel now that I am quit, it also reminds me that I never want another day one, never never never.
I will never miss
Pouring out a perfectly good drink for a spitter
Spilling that spitter
Forgetting a spitter and it smelling up the truck
Putting a dip in when the coast was clear but then someone approaching me and having to gut it awhile.
Having to hurry my ass to the store because I was close to running out.
Periods I couldn't dip and being out of sorts about it, such as the plane.
Going to the store only to find they don't have my brand of poison. Then traveling around to find it.
Having to spit while being in the house and having to walk to the sink or toilet.
The bad breath
The pain in my lip and switching to the side that was less raw but still painful.
Falling asleep with it in my mouth.
Heart burn. Horrible bad heartburn
Wishing ever single can purchase and then ever dip in that can that I was quit.
Worrying about cancer and other harm to my body.
Worrying about my dip can falling out of my pocket in business meetings or someone spotting the
"ring"
Worrying about the smell and extra movement while hunting.
Hurrying through my meal so I could dip.
On and on and on.
For awhile your brain will romanticize these things above as though you loved them and they where small nuances that where worth the joy of dipping. There is no joy in dipping, none, just addiction to a horrible poison with a disgusting delivery method. As you heal you develop a hate for tobacco. Use this pain your in to foster that hate. I don't believe ten big men could hold down and get tobacco into my mouth today, I posted roll and am a man of my word and intend to honor my brothers in quit all damn day. You have my word sweetrice, erussell day 696 and I promise you I will not use nicotine for any reason in any form all day. And no matter how bad it hurts I will hold you to your word to me! I quit with your bad ass!!!!!!

So today marks 1 week/7 days/168 hours/ 10,080 minutes of nic free lifestyle. A few things that standout, weekends are the hardest, if you do not have a good plan you will fail. I found myself wondering all through the weekend, but when I started to get urges; I got busy. I still feel the physical urge and I am occasionally feeling foggy. I am always reading on this site when times are rough; a read more post less kind of guy.
I post when I have the time and I am making it a point every morning to post roll on my metro ride to work. I am keeping at it mostly because I do not accept failure, I hate losing, I hate failing; it rarely happens and that mentality has kept me moving forward to the next day.

Wishing ever single can purchase and then ever dip in that can that I was quit.
Worrying about cancer and other harm to my body.
Worrying about my dip can falling out of my pocket in business meetings or someone spotting the
"ring"
Worrying about the smell and extra movement while hunting.
Hurrying through my meal so I could dip.
On and on and on.
For awhile your brain will romanticize these things above as though you loved them and they where small nuances that where worth the joy of dipping. There is no joy in dipping, none, just addiction to a horrible poison with a disgusting delivery method. As you heal you develop a hate for tobacco. Use this pain your in to foster that hate. I don't believe ten big men could hold down and get tobacco into my mouth today, I posted roll and am a man of my word and intend to honor my brothers in quit all damn day. You have my word sweetrice, erussell day 696 and I promise you I will not use nicotine for any reason in any form all day. And no matter how bad it hurts I will hold you to your word to me! I quit with your bad ass!!!!!!
Spitting on your pecker while taking a shit..........
Opening that hissing spit cup, the god awful smell then spitting anyway, closing it , then repeat a few secs later...
