Title: Day 1
Post by: Houpilot on June 02, 2014, 02:33:00 PM
Hey guys and gals,

My name is Matt, and I am addicted to Copenhagen. I've been dipping since I was 15 years old (16 years now) 2+ cans a day; and am ready to finally rid myself and family of the burden that smokeless tobacco has caused.

I'm doing this for my kids, my wife, myself, my health and my pocketbook. I'm tired of being fussed at for leaving a spit bottle here or there, or I don't want a kiss with a dip in your mouth or your hands stink, etc.

I will be looking to this group to kick this disgusting and life-taking habit out of my life for good.

F***Copenhagen!!!

Hope I don't disappoint yall or myself.
None of that sissy hope and try BS here bro - only hard earned quit. If you really want to quit and you want a place that will hold your feet tothe fire, then you're in the right place.

Hang tight and I;ll get you the links on how to post roll and start taking your life back.

I'm quit with you today

You can accomplish this by being a man of your word... living up to the fight that each of us put in each day. Here... we DO. We don't try. We fight for what we want and we win each day. It's not always easy but it's sure as hell worth it. The price of freedom and healing is the pain and the suck we endure to move past the abuse we've done to ourselves for so many years. You can do this man! We are right there with you...

Ok, I set you a PM with a lot of information.

This is your page; use it to rant, share success stories, think out loud, etc. Chat rooms are great, and reading the HOF speeches  (http://forum.killthecan.org/forum/55568/) and the Hall of Legends speeches  (http://forum.killthecan.org/forum/55571/)helped me slog on through the suck.

Reach out to the guys in your group - Sept14 (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/10291235/6/?x=90#new) - you've got some solid quitters in there, and the legendary LOOT (I would tell you about him, but I think you should just poke around on the site and find out on your own)

If you need a number or anything, just PM me.

Welcome Pilot... We've talked in the live chat. Good to have you here!

First off - we don't HOPE here at KTC. We just quit like fuck every damn day! Let's start by removing that bullshit hope word from your vocabulary and start to quit like fuck a day at a time!

Read over the welcome center:
forum/55560/ (http://forum.killthecan.org/forum/55560/)

Post roll everyday, early in the morning (no excuses here). Your quit group will be September. That's your promise/commitment to us and to yourself that you're going to stay quit for the day (24 hours). Honesty is everything, to us and to yourself.

Start gathering phone numbers and build your web of accountability. We will hold you accountable for your quit, and we expect you to hold us accountable as well. Actually text and/or call those numbers you get in good and bad times. Build your brotherhood.

As you're aware, Live Chat is a good place to connect, get numbers, shoot the shit...

If you can promise to keep the poison out of your face today I'll be happy to quit with you.
Send me a PM if you want a phone number to start building your brotherhood and accountability with.

Welcome. Find out how to post roll and do it EVERY DAY. NO EXCEPTIONS. This is the most important thing we do here. Also, get involved and get some contact numbers from other quitters. If you want mine, shoot me a PM.

Things are going to get worse before they get better. Just think of it as the running the gauntlet out of the gates of hell and just keep running.

When was your last dip?

Check your inbox for a PM.

Hey Mr. Pilot. One things that I've noticed if anything with this forum, is that there is no trying, only doing.

You've got my number. Give me a shout if you need to scream, yell, cry, whatever...just don't put that shit back in your mouth.

I quit with you today and congrats on making the best decision of your life.

Updated original thread. God day 1 is hard. Im sitting here after eating dinner about to chew my lip off while blankly staring into space like Adam Sandler in Click.

This sucks. But its completely worth it.

It does. It gets WAY better.

Just stay quit. Quit this minute. Then quit this minute... and the next. You'll get through it.

YES! That's what "the suck" is all about. Don't forget why you came here and battle through! One day, one hour, one minute, and one second at a time. Stay strong brother.

Pilot, welcome. If you think day 1 is hard wait until today and tomorrow. If it gets that bad, go out and chew on your truck/car tire, it isn't bad once you get pass that rubber smell. 'spin' Whatever you do, do NOT take it out on your kids or wife. They did not force you to become an addict.

I went ahead and fixed that for you. #1. you quit for yourself, plain and simple because without you there is no family or health or pocketbook, follow?

Read everything these fine quitters have told you. Read my (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/10223896/1/) intro. It's 100% truthful. Those first 3 days sucked but oh so worth it. In a short while when you go to kiss the Mrs and she doesn't complain about your shit breath, you're going to feel pretty damn good about yourself. If you need anything at all, PM me. Tim

Hang in there my man... as everyone else has said, day 1 does indeed suck balls. Sadly, day 2-3 are worse.

However... it does absolutely get better. And not only better... but TREMENDOUSLY better. Like, star bangled awesome, better.

100% so worth it. If it didn't I wouldn't be here nearly 8 years later. Hang in there!

I find that I will fall into the 5000 yard stare while doing things at work and home. Almost a trance or hypnotic state of nothingness. I am vaguely aware what is going on but almost feel paralyzed for a short time period. Weird.

Feels great doesn't it?? Just kidding. I'm only on day 4, but that fog has already lifted significantly since days 2 and 3. There were times in those couple days where 15 minutes would go by and I had no idea any time had passed at all.

Just remember your brain is rewiring itself to function without the poison, and until that happens you might be missing a few neuron bridges. Stick with this brother.

Pilot, no one on this site had an easy first couple of weeks. No one decided to quit and then miraculously lost the urge to throw in a dip. So we've all been in your shoes, and the one message you can take from that is you CAN do this. Keep posting your thoughts, read everyone elses, and post roll everyday. Ultimately you'll need to find some anger. Anger that US Tobacco is able to sell a highly addictive drug, and market it to kids. Mad that a weed has so much control over you. Mad that quitting is so fucking hard. Get mad stay mad. Good luck

And you don't have to slug through years of suck either. It gets better much faster than that.

Pilot, if your even a little bit of an introspective guy, learn to live the fog you are in. You can really learn a lot from it. Yeah, it sucks but it can be wonderful sometimes, too.
