Title: day 5
Post by: flyby on May 04, 2013, 04:51:00 AM
So I guess it's time to write my story. For 5 days now I've been reading story after story, and it seems like each one relates directly to me. I started stealing my grandma's cigs when I was in approx 3rd grade. I had my first Kodiak dip in my friends closet in 6th grade. I wasn't smoking and chewing this entire time, but it def got me used to that euphoric nicotine feeling that we all love. I always knew that I shouldn't be doing it, but that just added to the pleasure.
Fast forward 15 yrs and nothing has changed. I chew when I don't wanna smoke, and I smoke when I don't wanna chew. I smoke when I drink with my friends, and I chew by myself. I chew after a workout and smoke after work. It really has gotten bad! Honestly, I've been trying to quit for years now. Maybe not "quitting", but just taking breaks. I just tried "quitting" last month!! Didn't work!!

So here I sit, admittedly an addict, knowing that this shit is killing me slowly. It's killing me, but I HAVEN'T stopped. I watched my grandma be on O2, fucked from dementia, couldn't move, but knew she needed a smoke!! The thing driving her to her grave is what kept her alive. I DON'T WANNA DIE LIKE THAT!
I'm 30 now  want nothing more than to be healthy. How do I do that?? Quit tobacco forever. The time has to be now, I cannot wait. My mouth hurts, my lungs hurt, my body hurts. Life is too short to be worried about getting my Nic fix. I'm over it.
I know this won't be easy, but reading post after post allows me to believe in a nicotine free life. Good luck to everyone quitting with me one day atta time.

Hey drue.. Welcome,, quick question,, half way through your post you stated "It's killing me, but I HAVEN'T stopped yet".. At the end you stated Good luck to everyone that is quitting with me".

I'm kinda confused, so I'll hit you with a statement of my own for each of the comments. If you haven't quit, it sounds like you know what it's doing to you. It's time to take your life back. Get rid of anything you got, from the cans to the smokes. It's actually kind of simple really. Knowing what I know now,, I wouldn't even take that last drag, or dip. Get rid of it now.

If you have quit and are finally ready to take your life back, read the welcome center top left. Pay particular attention to the part about posting roll. That's where you make a promise not to use for the day. Your group is the august group.. Bunch of badass quitters in that group that would love to get to know you. If you have trouble figuring anything out pm me.

Yeah I noticed that too...not really how I meant tho. Today is day 6  I've posted roll every morning. I'm Actually kind of enjoying quitting (not breaking), even tho it is a total bitch. I enjoy knowing that at some pt chew will not be the 1st thing I think of every morning, nor the last thing before bed. Not another chew  not another puff!! Thanks guys!

Day 8 today! It hasn't been easy, but I've made it this far. I know I'm by no means in the clear from my addiction, but it seems to be getting easier to deal with these cravings. I'm proud of the fact that I'm now addicted to beef jerky, gum,  toothpicks instead of skoal straight  marlbros. Exercise above all has helped me the most (even just walking)! Thanks to all the August quitters for the support! You really do help!

Thanks kite. This site is awesome! It's great having so many people around who understand. Everyone genuinely wants/expects success for each other. Everyone's story is different, but in the end they're all the same: We all are Nic addicts who have FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT.

It is crazy for me to think I haven't chewed or smoked in 23 days. 23 days of golf, work, drinking, working out, moving, even breaking up with a chick, more work  just plain old doing my thing all without nicotine.

I freaking crave it every damn day still!! That said, I love this battle. I love it because I know it is completely up to me. If I can't drink  hangout around smokers without smoking, than I'm a fucking weakling who'll never quit. If I can't go to the gas station before a road trip  NOT buy a shit can, then my life  health are worthless. Both NOT true! I Know I'm better than nicotine  tobacco. I know that WE ALL are so much better than being addicted to something this fucking NASTY  EVIL.

I love counting my days! I'm stoked for 1 month. I know I know 1 day atta time. One DAMN day atta time. I don't care what happens in my life I know nicotine will not make it better. So on day 23 I promise no nicotine today!

So on the night of 4 weeks quit I had my first dip dream. Early on I had crazy dreams where I'm wrestling bears n shit which I associated with quitting, but this dream was REAL! I was driving around with friends  the whole time I had a Dip in. I Was telling myself to spit it out, get rid of it now  you'll be ok, that I didn't want it, but for some reason I couldn't spit it out...just kept driving  chewing until I woke up going WTF!... i was pissed I had just fucked up after a month, pissed I needed a new group,  worst of all my days quit was back to 0.
I guess my sub-conscious still really wants a chew. Fortunately, when I'm awake I prefer to quit that dirty shit

Wrestling bears and shit?

THAT. IS. FUCKING....AWESOME!!!!

I want to dream that. Instead I have weird dreams because of HBO and their constant advertising of "Behind the Candelabra". Don't even ask...

I had a "dip dream" the other day. It was dumb.

I was stopping at home because I forgot my driver (I was going golfing, I'm not some rich guy who can't drive himself around).

Anyway, I was about to go into the house when I realized I had a turd in my mouth. My wife can't see that! So...I take the stupid thing out and try to hide it in the cap of my spitter, which was a coke bottle. I couldn't just waste it and spit it INTO the spitter, HELL NO, it was kind of fresh still. So I squish it into that tiny little cap and put it in the cup holder with a piece of paper over it. You know, just in case my wife runs out to look in my car for some odd reason...she wont see it because I have a piece of paper over the cup holder. I'm one smart mother fucker. But then I realize I have a spitter sitting there with no top...OH SHIT, how do I hide that? I know, I will take it and slide it down into the pocket thingy on the back of my passenger seat. My wife won't notice that big bulge if she does come out to the car. Again, pure genius!!!!

Finally, I'm ready to go into the house to get my driver. But wait...I catch a glimpse of myself in the rear view mirror...SPECS!!!! Oh shit, I have nothing to drink for a proper flush, now what do I do???? Duhhh....run over to the neighbors and turn on their hose and start flushing my cakehole of specs. Of course the hose water somehow gets all over my shirt and shorts and I am soaked.

So here I am about to enter the house...soaked to simply get my fucking golf club. How do I explain this to my wife when she asks. As my mind frantically tries to come up with a reason...I wake up.

WHAT A FUCKING MORON.

This may have been a "dream" but I can tell you I have been in similar situations before, JUST LIKE THAT, in real fucking life.

Fuck dip dude. Shit tried to kill me, made me a liar to my wife, made me a bad father, a bad husband, a bad son, a bad brother, and overall just a bad example of how a human being should live.

Dip did not equal euphoria. We ONLY think it did. If it truly did, there would be no reason for us to be here. NONE. If I got a blow job and got to bang Kate Upton multiple times a day (sorry ladies), I WOULD NOT be joining some KKU (Kill Kate Upton) site. I'd wake up every morning at full mast and ready for action.

There's a reason we are here. WE KNOW. We know the damage this shit can and has done and we are tired of it.

WE WANT OUR LIVES BACK.

Take yours back my brother. We are here for you.

Sorry to hijack you shit, but I feel very strongly about this.

Stay Quit!

It really is crazy how long that dirty evil bitch HAD ME FOOLED into craving her. I knew for Lord knows how long I needed to stop smoking... I did. Ended up just turning to skoal mint or a prime time cigs instead. Bitched out every time. Years later when I KNEW I SHOULDN'T CHEW EVER AGAIN...I Quit! Sort of, just went back to Marlboros. This stoopid rotation continued from the time I was 15 until I was 30.
Fortunately, I've learned a thing or two from my past "quits". 1st is that I cannot casually use Nic. I now know that if I have even one smoke/chew I'm hooked. 2nd quitting any form is not easy  it's something I have to WORK AT. This evil bitch is readily available everywhere I turn, so I must quit everyday.
I'm extremely thankful for this site  everyone who posts here. Reading stories how Nic has made grown men cry makes being honest here VERY easy. Thanks again  I quit with you today

A couple thoughts on Day 50.
1- time really does fly by... I'm stoked it's flying by without chew or cigarettes.
2- once I got past day 30 it was a little bit easier. However,
3- I've had to remind myself daily WHY I quit.
4- I quit for myself, I quit for my health
5- I'm not sure I'd be quit without KTC  Erussell
Honestly, this whole community is helpful, from the original members to the "newbies"... I read story after story all the the time here and I'd like to say "thank you". Keep up the good work all you bad asses....
If quitting nicotine were easy, everyone would do it

Day 80! EIGHTY days straight without that Nic bitch!! There have been Numerous days/nights where, in the past, I'd have taken that offered drag or dip  not held myself accountable to my quit. This site,  it's members, has given me the tools to be free from Nic's grip.
I have finally learned that I'm an addict  must quit ODAAT. Thankfully, I am still aware of how hard those first couple months of quit are  I know I want no part of that ever again. I still crave daily, but now I know I'm "craving" something I don't actually want! Weird...
QLF today!

Awesome job on 80!
Smokeyg called it an urge in his thread and gave a really good explanation of it that I dont want to try and recreate- I suggest going to his thread and reading it through- I dont think I bumped that one to the front. There's great stuff in there, take a look if you haven't already it will help your quit.

Day 112! Not since my soph yr of high school have I gone this long with no dIP, no smokes, no Nic! Looking back on the first couple months makes me realize just how addicted I was to the weed.... I was super irritable, drank WAY to much  was just generally in a poor mood. I thought for weeks it was everyone else being annoying jackasses, now I see it was me!
I'm pumped Nic is out of my system  basically out of my mind, minus random craves that smack me outta no where. I'm pumped because I know I'll NEVER be that asshole again due to Nic withdrawals, just do to my personality. I'm Quit odaat Fo life

That is awesome. Newbies take a look at this post, it gets better and it is so worth it. Press thru the wall of suck like this bad ass quitter did and the reward will be great!
