Well about the time I wake up it will be 24 hours into this endeavor. Right now if my tongue was a good dip I'd chew it off I think. Worst craving of the day so I figured I would hop on here and say hello. I know that these next seven days are the hardest but I also know that they pass. Glad there is a forum for guys that knows how hard quitting smokeless tobacco is. After 15 years of going back and forth between chew and cigarettes and 3 solid years of chewing my lip is as raw as I can Stand and I refuse to pick back up the cancer sticks. Just ready to be done and put a little extra money in my pocket. Thanks for the group and congrats to all you quit ers out there.

You have found the place to start the last quit of your life. Posting roll first thing every day giving your promise not to use and then being a man of your word for 24 hours. Wake up and start over, we quit here one day at a time, don't worry about forever. Your home month is May 16, get in there and post roll giving your promise not to use. There are a bunch of solid quitters going through the same withdraws you will be going through in the next 72 hours and they will be there to help get you through it.

Post roll. You have to go through the suck and quit for yourself, but there is no reason to do it alone and good reasons to have a support network.

Ok... ok... so my friend introduced me to this site with good intentions I'm sure of it. However he failed to tell me embrace the suck and no NRT. So I'm rounding up to day three now and still no tobacco. I've kept a can of herbal snuff to help me through work. Mainly to stave off the hunger and the 12 hours of running a CNC machine. I obviously haven't posted roll yet because I'm not eligible. But I must say I believe more in what is going on here than my nicotine patch. Lmao luckily the VA only charges about 40 dollars for a three month supply of Nicoderm CQ instead of 60 bucks a box. Anyway long story short I'm tempted to put the patch in the trash and do this the hard way because I truly know that there is no easy way period end of story. Oh I'm sure I'm addicted to nicotine not a doubt in my mind of that but I feel more attached mental need for the tobacco itsself and it's little "pleasures " and I know I'm not alone in saying that that's the hardest part. Longest drives to and from work in my life the last couple of days. Thanks for a cool place to talk about the quit guys and to make it a little easier than going alone.

Dude - your roll post this am said you had a crave while wearing a patch. That doesn't work here. Rip the patch off and quit nicotine in all forms. If your roll post was a mistake and the patch is indeed off, go back and explain to your May brothers.
And stop romanticizing the "little pleasures" that was imply the drug relieving the withdrawal symtoms and screwing with your brain chemistry and dopamine receptors. The mental part is the addiction! you will have the nicotine out of your system in 72 hours -if you lose the damn patch. man up and quit with us.

You're walking a fine line here dude... if you were posting while using, yeah, cardinal sin in this house bro. 'Splain yourself...

Nope its all good guys. I realized while wearing the patch and still craving a chew the damn patch wasn't doing anything. So I ripped the patch off and then posted roll. I did not post roll until the patch come off. In my original quit plan which I come up with before I found this site included NRT. When I announced my quit on Facebook a friend sent me here he didn't tell me exactly what it was all about. You guys inspired me to give up the drug completely and do what really works. Take the damn patch off and POST ROLL.

That is how we quit. Cold Turkey. It works as long as you make your promise daily and be a man of your word. Post that promise early tho.

Lmao my day at work is just starting. But I can say one thing. The crave is no different without the patch. It was sucking either way...

Yeah day 1 and day 2 was a roller coaster Im not going to lie. Just make sure your buckled in and everything will be alright. I wouldn't have changed a thing now. Day 3 nicotine free and day 4 is all about realizing I aint Nicotine's whore.

Welcome to the Brotherhood. It is going to be a long crazy ride but all of us in the BROTHERHOOD are behind you 100%.
Make that promise to not pick that can up ever again, you will want to, but don't give in to the Nic Bitch. She will whisper sweet nothings in your ear to get you to re-commit to her.
Post roll EDD and take it one day at a time.
Stay quit my brother.

So this week brings on some milestones in this journey. First off I reached a full week!!! How does a guy that couldn't go seven minutes after he'd ate, without at least a little pinch, go seven days!?!? ONE DAY AT A TIME that's how. Tomorrow brings on the double digits of quit 10 percent of my first 100 days. I've went through hell, the worst has been the mild to moderate insomnia. Sleeping as little as 2 hours this week. Worth it? Hell yeah its worth it. Why? Well honestly I have over came something that's over half as old as I am, my addiction to Nicotine. If you think you need to quit and you don't think it's possible I'm here to tell you it is. Its a very simple plan to follow and anyone can do it if they have enough integrity which to be honest takes very little. I know some of you reading this out there were my brothers in arms and you don't know if you can quit. I get it... It's how we dealt, it's how we trained, and its how we gave it everything we had when we were out. But I'm here to tell you as a combat veteran you can quit and your not alone. Just remember your values as a service member and you'll find all the integrity you need to overcome this one day at a time. I even have a simple equation to follow. FIRST THING(POST ROLL)+EVERY DAY (POST ROLL) - ANY EXCUSES= QUIT

I don't know how many of you have followed me in the May quit group or maybe you are a guest wondering how this all works or if it works. Regardless whether your a Vet a Newbie or you haven't quit yet I'm here to say that One day at a time has brought me to three weeks today will be 23 days! I'm proud of myself I'm proud of all you with any days under your belt. Quitting isn't easy and winning isn't easy. To do this you have to do both. But you only have to take it one day at a time. So here's to +24 more hours of quit... Will you quit with me today?

Wow 50 days quit. How have I done this? One day at a time that's how. Every morning I make a choice, I choose to post roll, I choose to promise myself, my family, and my KTC brothers and sisters that I will not use for 24 more hours. Then for that 24 hours I choose to not lie to myself or anyone I made that promise to. I've chosen to do this 50 days in a row. I'm happy to say it works. Thanks for every one quitting with me. Thanks to my May 2016 brothers for making these decisions that I make daily easier. Without KTC I don't know if I would have made any of these decisions.

50 is awesome....what's awesomer is knowing you now have the tools to keep this addiction in check permanently. One Day at a Time.... over time, that ODAAT morphs into something akin to Never Again for ANY Reason (NAFAR). Just keep pluggin away....you'll get there. Use the tools, no reason EVER to post another day one! Quit with you any day of the week and twice on Sunday!

Remember what you just wrote. It looks like you are fighting a winning fight with dip which is kick ass. You are doing it one day at a time and posting roll. Look at some of the groups that hit their 100 day mark a few months ago...what happened to them? They used to have as many members as your quit group, but now they are a fraction of your size. If you are on a roll now, stick with what works and keep it going. It's the only thing that works for me.

So here I set at 90 days quit. Wow, 90 days. It's still hard to wrap your head around it. You know what else is hard to wrap my head around? 5,475 days of active addiction. Now let's throw this out there, 5,565 days of addiction. That's right I'm still an addict these 90 days hasn't changed that. The difference is that each day now I make one simple promise, don't use! I have had ups and downs along this road... I even printed out my contract to stop my quit at one point. Yet through it all I'm here. I'm here through the power of a simple promise and a great group of guys to help me along the way. What's that... I hear a train in the distance... I better stay close to the track so I make sure I don't miss it... here's to another day quitting with all of you today for today.
First thing+Every Day-Excuses=QUIT

100 days.... Thank you to all those supporters out there. More to come....

Nice job Nboling84!
