Floating is what we call "the fog". That will pass.

To start with, you'll have more bad days than good. After about 2 weeks (different for different people, but that's a healthy average), those good and bad days will even out. After 3 weeks to a month, you'll have more good than bad. Again, this is all dependent on the person. Drink a ton of water, and then drink some more. Pure cranberry juice (call around to find it) helps a bunch. Exercise when craves hit hard. Slam out as many push ups as you can. Do wall squats. Go for a run or a jog.

Stay close to the site. You can win your battle each day. The war never ends, but the battles can be won. You have to gut it out, look your addiction in the eye and laugh, and then revel in your victory. Refuse to fail.

Hey MFK - how about reading "WELCOME CENTER" in the top L corner and getting your ass posted in December???? There is some tremendous stuff on this site, and there are literally hundreds of quitters that will drop everything to help you. But, you need to learn about roll, and if you are serious, put your promise in December.

I will have to read through how to do the "roll" and get posted....I have been pretty busy with work, but will try to get on it this weekend....

Still haven't had a chew....tonight at 10pm will be 72 hours.... 'bang head'

I sure hope it gets easier....sunflower seeds seem to help pass the time, but the salt is killing my cheeks....

Thanks for the support!!!!!

MF read what everyone has said. Start getting contact #'s, it will become necessary to have someone to contact when you crave like hell and are ready to tap out! Posting roll is sacred, it is a promise we take damn serious! Once you've posted roll there is no way you can cave!! That is why posting should be your #1 priority and done first thing in the morning before peeing if your young enough! Lol (I'm not young) sometimes I post when I wake for the late night pee. Pm me if I can help.

Thanks for all of the back up! KTC is the shit!!!

Does anyone know the requirements for uploading a pic (or avatar). I tried a couple of pics (.jpeg); but it wouldn't let me. I kept getting a file type error.

BTW - Day 9 and going strong!!!

Thanks

OK...thanks....

For any interested....I am happy to report that after having many sleepless nights lately...I slept for 4 hours straight last night and only woke up 2 other times...

So now that I have been around for awhile (today is day 23) and gotten the hang of things, I have realized that my "Intro" didn't really tell anyone shit about me...so here goes:

1. I am 36 years old and dipped Copenhagen from age 15 until 23 days ago.
2. I had to quit so that I could not be a slave to the bitch anymore; sick of worrying about every mouth sore being cancer; and done being a selfish prick who would rather risk getting cancer by dipping than quitting and leading a healthy life with my wife and kids.
3. My wife manages to put up with me somehow...although recently I have been accused of acting like a douche...although my quit has been STRONG, my mood has been shifty and about as nice as a menstruating wolverine.
4. I do electrical engineering/machine automation work and have never loved my career more than I do now.
5. I spent 5 years in the Navy on submarines as a Radioman.


I want to thank everyone on here: some for direct support, some for inspiration, some for allowing me to babble in chat when I am feeling weak...

I have a really flexible schedule so am usually around on computer or cell...if anyone needs anything feel free to PM me for my #....text/call anytime...

KEEP THE QUIT STRONG!! Post some love in Dec '12 for us!!

DAY 25

-Drank my first beer (since quitting the nic bitch) last night....slowly it seems like everything is starting to taste better without dip....but I kept it at one beer because I didn't want to put my quit in harms way...

It's the little victories that really help bolster the quit!

Thanks for all of the support everyone!

QLF today!!!!!

Congrats! I'm almost to say 50 and I have no problem now having a few beers while watching football or hanging out with friends. I keep seeds around when I'm drinking... They do the trick!

kuss....careful as I have found that EVERYTHING does now taste so much better. So much so I put on 15 pounds since I had quit. Now when I look at it I will ABSOLUTELY exchange a few extra pounds for that poison. As I heard it explained: you can always lose the weight, but not so much luck with losing cancer.

Quit with you today on my 90th day one at a time. PM me if you need anything.

Short Update/Question to the vets:

Day 32 - My quit feels strong...I know that with my continued posting of roll and the support of my brothers here, the nic bitch won't get me back...I know that I have to keep up my guard!! FUCK THAT CUNT!

Now, the worst of my issues (and I am sure there are plenty) is RAGE...I am pissed off just about all the time...I don't really understand it and have a hard time keeping it in check...I can't count how many fights I have started at home only to find myself apologizing later...being unable to explain how I feel...just fucking angry at the world...

The site is keeping me centered...I have no idea how many hours I spend on here everyday...updating our spreadsheet (even when it isn't my shift), reading posts, fixing bumps....

And I still can't fucking sleep...I get about 5 hours total across the night and wake up 3 times or more throughout...I am lucky to be asleep by 10:30 or 11:00 and I am up by 4:00 almost every day...I think I am losing my fucking mind....that nic bitch must be yelling inside my head every time she sees me sleeping...

Anyone else have the RAGE/INSOMNIA issues? Any coping strategies? Working out helps some, but not enough...

Well, I can quit babbling for awhile...

I am so fucking proud to be a part of our BAD-ASS quit group (Dec '12)...we have over 60 quitters posting daily....

KEEP THE QUIT STRONG!! I QUIT WITH ALL OF YOU TODAY!!

(day 64) for me. We are one in the same. I read your post and that was me 30 days ago. Minus the bump fixes lol.. First of all I had rage stamped on my forehead for awhile. I attacked almost everything in my path. Thank god I didn't beat the shit out of someone because I was real close. I thought WTF is wrong with me? I'm not an angry person. Or am I? Then one day BWB asked me if I was exercising? I wasn't.. but 5 minutes later I was on my bike. Guess what? It works.
Take some of the time you spend fixing the site and REALLY exercise. It will make you tired, and for some reason it helps the rage too. It really does.
At the end of my day I'm effin exhausted and sleep like a baby. The rage is definitely subsided. Haven't had any for 2 weeks. My routine? 2 hours. In the morning on a empty stomach 1hour yoga, followed with 1hour biking.
Any exercise will do, but exercise like a madman and the clouds will part.
pm me if you need anything..quit with you

mfkuss,

I have also been experiencing rage. I try to keep it in check the second it happens and I'm getting a lot better at picking it up right away. I just keep telling myself that I did this and not my wife or kids. So.....when I'm an asshat, I go out side, or in my office. The wife thanks me for not taking it out on her and the kids. Just try to identify it early on and you'll be gook. As always, PM me if you hit a rough spot.

Wow...it's been awhile since I added to the chronicle here...

Today is day 48...tomorrow is 7 weeks down...It is definitely getting better...

Today was a rough day...I was working at a remote site, no cell reception, slow-no internet (except about 15 minutes while eating lunch), no KTC....I really struggled with temptation...fuckers all around me dipping all day....and on top of it I was just having a rough time getting things to work right...'bang head' 'bang head' 'bang head'

BUT...I told that sneaky little bitch to fuck off when she told me that "just one" would be ok....I kicked her in the cunt when I was about to either kill someone or cave...I did neither by the way...'na na' 'Finger'

And at the end of the day I am able to hold my head high...be proud as fuck to be quit with all of you....

I also need to say THANK YOU to everyone that posts at KTC everday!! Being away for just a day (really ony 13 hours) made me realize how much I rely on all my brothers (both in my group and in vet groups) to support me...I would do anything for you guys too!! Just let me know if you need anything!!

Well...incoherent rambling about complete....This was one of my most challenging days...It makes me feel stronger to know that I succeeded for yet another day...and I just couldn't wait to get home, get on the laptop, and let you guys know!!

Thanks

So here I sit on day 63 --- who would've thunk it? 9 weeks...what a nice feeling...

I had a dentist appt yesterday and got great reviews...no trouble areas...gums looking better...happy dentist!!

Still working on keeping a lid on the rage, but I think I am learning how to manage my emotions better in general. It's a new idea to have to deal with emotions without a crutch...definitely a learning experience!

I must say that KTC has changed my life! I am forging strong friendships and bonds, learning how to deal with my emotions, finding out who I really am, and kicking the Nic Bitch out of my life....what more could a guy ever ask for?

Well, probably enough senseless rambling for now...just needed to "bookmark" my journey with some thoughts...

Day 68 -

The wife and I ordered my HOF coin today....shipping is 1-2 weeks, then she is getting it engraved for me (another few days) and holding it for me until the day hits!

It's just exciting to add one more thing to look forward to in my Quit!

Oh yeah....guess what I found in my pants?? I have a back pocket free....I can put whatever I want in it!! Only took how long to realize it wasn't reserved anymore?!? It's funny how little things can get you so excited in the moment...

Also, wanted to stop and take a moment to thank all those who are serving, have served, or have sacrificed their lives for this great country of ours and all of us who enjoy the freedoms that you have selflessly helped to preserve!

As long as I am handing out "thanks" to people:

LCWB96 and Boelker62: Thanks for keeping it real in our group; for doing your best to help lead and motivate others! You have caught some flak for your methods and choices of words; but have best interests at heart...

Bruce: Thanks for bringing a whole new perspective to the situation in Live Chat...I enjoyed talking with you and learning a little more about your perceptions...

BWB, Mich34, SirD, Crockett: You guys have been an inspiration! I am proud to post with you in your groups each day and truly appreciate that you invest the time to post support in my group as well!! It does not go un-noticed!

I am sure I am missing some, but will try to catch you all next month....in my HOF Speech!!!

Have a great Sunday all!!

Nice work brother! I may be a few days ahead of you but it is my first Thanksgiving without dip also. For me at 327 days today was a freakin cake walk, every day gets so much easier.

My issues today were that I had prime rib for lunch and picked at a little turkey for dinner! I need to stick to salads so I can be littlewhitebeast! 'Sno'

Day 91

Not really sure that I needed to put this out there, but definitely wanted to record it somewhere...

Today we have the first (3) three quitters from THE CREW hitting the HOF. Makes a guy start thinking...holy shit...I am only 9 days behind them...without them, I don't think I would have made it...

My quit is strong...it has been tested, but each test makes it stronger when I come out the other side. The support I get from THE CREW as well as the friends I have made here in the "vets" groups is un-paralleled. Where else could you find it??

Once again, my hat is off to you guys as you get picked up by the HOF train!!

I am excited to join you and to sign up for the next round!!

Day 135

--Just wanted to collect some more thoughts for myself...and who knows...maybe it can help someone else...

So I left for a work trip to Central PA on Sunday...after travel delays and getting stranded in DC, I rent a car and drive from DC to PA...have a 20 hour day...sleep three hours, wake up to head to work site and find hotel internet down...cell signal sucks...

SO...text Magic and have him post Monday for me...then Tuesday....finally get some shitty internet back on Wednesday...what a pain in the ass...

AND I realized that not being on KTC for 2 days really messed up my daily schedule...I was irritable, felt like something was just not quite right...

I am so glad to have some internet back...will be even better to get home to real internet speeds (not 1998 speeds)...

I just wanted to thank you all for having such a huge impact on my life! This community is so much more than meets the eye...upon first joining I thought "cool...a bunch of strangers coming together to quit"...NOW I realize that this is a family in and of itself....with all the highs, lows, and drama of any other family! I got nothing but love for y'all!!!

I love it when Mr. President of the Dec. '12 Wreckin' Crew decides to update his Into.

Proud to be quit with you, my brother. You are one inspirational quit Gladiator!!!

Could you have ever imagined doing that 20 hours of travel hell without stuffing your pie-hole full of cancer causeing poisen? Nice work my man. Slam that door shut.

Day 216

I haven't been on the site in almost 5 days now. I really missed you fuckers! I had to go in for a minor surgery Wednesday of last week and ended up with the flu while recovering. I texted my quit pledge everyday to one of my brothers but was not feeling up to jumping on and posting roll with all my normal groups. But now I am back and will be seeing you all at roll every morning again.

Lord only knows if the Crew's spreadsheet was kept up while I was away...or if everyone is getting along...lol.

At any rate, I am on the mend and feeling much better!
