Today is my quit day. I have been reading quit a bit on here and am happy to say that I will not ever dip again. Cold Turkey. Fuck you Kodiak. I got this.

I'll be checking back here frequently to read more stories. They are inspiring and most helpful.

Peace,
Kurt

Kurt,
Please go to the Welcome Center tab above and to the left. Read up on how to Post Roll. You will be in the June quit group. This is zero nic site, so flush any emergency dip stash, throw away any nic gum/lozenges, cigs, etc. It will take 3~4 days for nic to flush from your system. In the meantime. read on this site and post roll daily.

I forgot to ask:

You quitters out there, did you use alternatives? Specifically Mint snuff etc.

I really dont want to stock up on sunflower seeds, gum or candy. I plan on being mentally strong and NOT gaining a shit load of weight.

Focus on keeping the nicotine out of your system first, by whatever means necessary. If you can do that successfully without gaining weight then props to you. I used Smokey Mountain for over a month. At which point I didn't want to continue paying $3 for nothing. If I'm really tempted to "pack a lip" these days I just pinch some coffee grounds. Although I never used snuff back in the day I must say it does get the job done.

Couple of pieces of advice that you'll need at one point or another:

1) Most important - This is YOUR quit. Do NOT take this out on anyone else. Embrace how bad it sucks. Remember the only way past the suck is to get through it. You can't beat it by going backwards.

2) Drink up - Pretend you're a sponge that keeps drying out. Even when you aren't thirsty fill up a glass of water and drink it

3) Stay busy - Killing the can will unleash some pent up feelings. Let them out while exercising. Nothing kills an annoying craving like going for a run or doing push-ups until exhaustion.

4) Start HATING nicotine - Seriously develop a hatred for the stuff. Look back on all it stole from you! It subtracted from you mentally, physically, emotionally and financially. What a joke. It turned you into a slave. Told you when and where to serve it. Screw that, be free again. Just remember this every time you're called to have "one more dip"

5) Lean on us - We WANT to hear from you. We WANT you to succeed. We WANT you to pass on knowledge. I can honestly tell you that quitting dip will make you a better man. I guarantee it. Post roll, every day and don't worry about tomorrow.

For every day you stay quit I pledge to do the same.

welcome and congrats on your day one. this is going to be hard, then after awhile it'll get easy - if you ever start to doubt yourself reach out. Any one here will do damn near anything they can to help you out. Invest in the site, spend some time here and make some friends. If it gets too overwhelming focus on the now - this second- that's all I could think about making it through at the start of my quit. Again, congrats on a great choice.

Kurt- I was also a Kodiak junky, and you will really like Hooch Wintergreen Rough Cut.
Give yourself the 4 or 5 days to get the nicotine out of your system, and then start chewing it.
If you order it from the website today, it should show up just in time.

Lifeafterdip gave you some great advice. I'm going to add to his number 4 about hating nicotine. Think about this----somewhere some fuck face is sitting in his office suite raking in millions of dollars trying to kill all of us. He is selling us a product that can take our lives and we are paying him to do it. Now, think about your children/family. Do you think they would be pissed off if they found out that someone was taking dad's money and trying to take him away from them at the same time? They would fight like hell. They would cry, scream, gnash teeth, not understand. Get my point. This fuck face is getting rich by stealing your money and killing you at the same time. He is robbing your family, taking away their basic needs and their father. The bad part is that he is planning on how to do it to many more.

Every time you don't buy a can fuck face suffers just a little bit. I say we don't buy a shitload of cans. Fuck face needs a new career and/or an ass raping.

It's going pretty good. I struggled a bit last night, I started PM'ing Lipizzaner and he walked me back from the edge.

Since I put myself in this stupid position I decided only to use gum, seeds or Mint Snuff in case of emergencies. Last night, I had a handful of seeds and 2 mint snuffs.

I tried not to but its better then falling off the wagon. In which that wagon to hell, will never see my ass again as I chopped it up with an axe, doused it in gas and set the m'fer on fire.

I am good for the weekend. I have some mint snuff, seeds if necessary. Plan on having a few cocktails, but am going to power through it and go for no help (seeds etc) 'drool'

Be real, real careful with the booze, it has killed more quits than anything, especially early on.

Turn the tables on the Nic Bitch...Embrace it! Seriously, quitting is a privilege reserved to those who have the guts to do it. You did. That is cause for celebration, brother!

Take notice of everything...the headaches, sleeplessness, constipation, anxiety...all of it. You GET to go through those things because you CHOSE to do it. You chose to get free!!! GREAT CHOICE!!!

You got this!!!

Yep, since this is your first weekend quit you might want to avoid the booze. Not the most "fun" choice, but if it's one of your triggers why risk it?

And using substitutes as help is not a bad thing. Some folks here still use seeds or fake stuff hundreds of days into their quit.

Congratulations Kurt on taking your life back. Your avatar made me laugh out loud and reminded me of my first 30 days quit. If you want to have a few drinks now, go ahead. Early in my quit, my Russian wife, her dad and myself drank vodka like tomorrow was never going to come. It seemed to help some at that time. Today, I am on Day 194 quit from nicotine and 36 days of zero alcohol. Embrace the suck right now :D

This morning's roll call made me nervous for your quit....questioning why you cannot have a dip with a couple of beers. Hoping I misunderstood your comment and perhaps you meant "why are people challenging me on drinking while I am still early in my quit".

Let me say upfront, I drink. I will also say that in the first ten days, I drank.

Now that said, alcohol lowers inhibitions and clouds judgment....fact.

If I take your roll call comment as it appears to be written.....then that is exactly why many feel alcohol is a risk to a young quit. That would be the nic bitch talking, "I can handle just a dip, just a smoke, while I drink only" That my friend is a pile of steaming bullshit, and don't you make the mistake of believing it.

Personally, I saw a big difference to coming home after a long week, having a good dinner, a couple of bourbons while sitting on the couch with Lovey and dragging my miserable quit ass to bed with a buzz that helped me sleep during the suck....vs. hanging out in a smoky bar, shooting pool, throwing darts with a bunch of my buddies all smoking and chewing. Others would not make that distinction, but to each his own. It worked for me...it was my plan. I also have a Lovey that would have cut off my balls had I tried to leave the house and drive to the convenience store while drunk (FIG - Feisty Italian Girl).

Kurt, you need to decide and plan what is going to take for you to remain quit. Maybe not drinking early on is what you need. IT IS YOUR QUIT AND YOUR LIFE. Think it through and make a plan....don't kid yourself though. Don't throw away 6 days. Take caving out as an option....nic is out of your life forever.

I 2nd this comment exactly. I went to bat for you about drinking in the early stages of a quit and then read your post this morning ??? "...have a dip while drinking beer" ??? WTF are you thinking ??? Don't throw away 6 days of Suck !!! I hope that your post was just misunderstand somehow. Please clarify.

If I take your roll call comment as it appears to be written.....then that is exactly why many feel alcohol is a risk to a young quit.  That would be the nic bitch talking, "I can handle just a dip, just a smoke, while I drink only"  That my friend is a pile of steaming bullshit, and don't you make the mistake of believing it.

Personally, I saw a big difference to coming home after a long week, having a good dinner, a couple of bourbons while sitting on the couch with Lovey and dragging my miserable quit ass to bed with a buzz that helped me sleep during the suck....vs. hanging out in a smoky bar, shooting pool, throwing darts with a bunch of my buddies all smoking and chewing.  Others would not make that distinction, but to each his own.  It worked for me...it was my plan.  I also have a Lovey that would have cut off my balls had I tried to leave the house and drive to the convenience store while drunk (FIG - Feisty Italian Girl).

Kurt, you need to decide and plan what is going to take for you to remain quit.  Maybe not drinking early on is what you need.  IT IS YOUR QUIT AND YOUR LIFE.  Think it through and make a plan....don't kid yourself though.  Don't throw away 6 days.  Take caving out as an option....nic is out of your life forever.
I 2nd this comment exactly. I went to bat for you about drinking in the early stages of a quit and then read your post this morning ??? "...have a dip while drinking beer" ??? WTF are you thinking ??? Don't throw away 6 days of Suck !!! I hope that your post was just misunderstood somehow. Please clarify.

Kurt - Day 6 - Had some drinks...questioning why cant I have a dip while I have a couple beers...lil help? PM me.
Kurt... what the F is this? Is this a serious question?

You can't dip when you drink because you are an addict  you quit.

However, you can do whatever you want to do. If you want to drink  dip that is your decision and your problem.

Know this... We Quit here. Once we quit we don't use nicotine in any form.

Figure out what it is you want to be... a dipper, or a quitter.

The support here is incredible. I love it!

I did not cave in as obvious with my post roll.

It was the nic bitch in me asking that dumbass question. 'bang head'

I received an outpouring of support via texts and PMs(and some hate mail!) I know after last weekend, for me, I can have a few cocktails and be fine. I enjoy a couple bourbons on the weekend and I have accepted the fact I dont need a chew every time I have a cocktail.

Thanks derk, construction, Sam, mogul, Chris and Gris for the support, ass chewing (no pun intended) and words of wisdom.
