Hey guys, I'm from NW Wisconsin ... 50 years old and on day 37 of my quit. I started back in 1982 in college ... and pretty much went to Copenhagen right away. Never did care for the minty. Anyway, a variety of reasons for the quit ... but #1 was my acid reflux. It's a whole heck of a lot better since quitting. I have not touched any chew since 04/13/14 ... and never will again! I feel like I'm over the nicotine hurdle, but am still battling the oral fixation hurdle. As I've told friends (jokingly), "I've had a chew in every moment of every day except sleeping, eating, and 86% of the time sex!" I'm sure my wife loves that comment...
I'm working on the oral fixation part with Jack Link's Jerky Chew, but I find I'm treating it very similar to the old ways. I would LOVE to get over this part, and simply NOT have anything in my lip. Hopefully that'll come in time ... but for now I can promise I will no longer chew tobacco! Musky season opens this weekend, and I sure spent a lot of time chewing both during fishing and hunting. It'll be tough, but also 100% worth it. I'm quit!

Hi Smeds,
Looks like you posted roll, so let me be the first to welcome you, but please be careful as you bumped 2 people off the roll. I'll fix it today.
As far as the oral thing, I am at Day 47 and still use toothpicks a couple times a day, so I defer the question to some other bad ass quitter who has more days of quit.
37 days w/o a support site is bad ass, thanks for joining the KTC.

Smeds,
Welcome...37 days is impressive now let KTC take you all the way.
Post Roll call and get involved in this site and you will stack days...ODAAT
I am day 98 and let me tell you it gets better and sweeter every day.
KTC has the tools you need so use them.
Congrats.
I quit with you.

Thumble ... whoops! Sorry man, I see I selected the wrong post to "quote", thereby knocking a few off. Sorry to them as well, chalk it up to a rookie! Thanks for the kudos everyone, right back at cha!

Welcome aboard my man! As for the oral fixation... it'll go away, eventually.
For me, I chewed the fake stuff a good 200+ days into my quit all day every day. And then one day I just didn't reach for it and didn't need it. I'd say use whatever you need to to keep the real stuff out of your mouth. The oral fixation (all jokes aside) is the least of your worries.
Congrats on a great start to your quit!

Hi Smeds and welcome! Learn all you can by reading resources and other intro threads here, and make friends to build out a network for accountability and support. Going 37 days on your own is good- and now you're building yourself some insurance for that quit.
As for non-nic products- the consensus is that they are fine, safe, ok to use a long as they help you. The chemical addiction process of the nicotine isn't working in your brain and blood chemistry as long as you aren't dosing the nicotine.
Keep it going strong, and keep asking for help and support when you need it- you'll get plenty here if you immerse yourself in the community.

Welcome smeds. You've got one of the badest ass quitters watching your quit there with Chewie.
Your story is like many of ours. I am 104 days quit after 36+yrs chewing and am dominating some sunflower seeds as I write this. As it has been explained to me before, we are here to quit nicotine. Compared to that the rest is somewhat meaningless. Do whatever it takes not to put nic in your system. Like chewie said, one day you won't need it. I'm still waiting on that day but I would rather use fake chew and seeds the rest of my life than chew one more time.
Get involved on the site and remember that you can do anything you did with chew better without.
PM me if you need anything.
-
Welcome and congrats on your first 37 days. If you need a number or anything, PM me.
-
Impressive start going that many days solo, and welcome to KTC.
I went solo like you, but only for a few weeks before I found KTC, started posting roll with my group, exchanged texts, emails and phone calls and spending time in the LIVE CHAT, linked int he upper right.
Welcome aboard man.. PM me sometime or come into chat and talk with us, I have hunting land up in NW wisconsin, glad to know there is one less dipper up there
-
Read, read, and read some more. Welcome aboard. Starting solo is great but we are glad you are here. This site will make staying quit a whole lot easier. As others have said, get involved. Live Chat is awesome. The rules are simple:
1). Post Roll Daily (Be sure you are on the last post of the last page so you don't bump other quitters)
2). Honor your word
3). Repeat
Glad to be quit with ya
-
Welcome Smeds,
Good start on your own man. Just to reiterate what the others have said.....embrace this brotherhood, be accountable (post roll everyday) and you will succeed! Shout out if you need anything. There are a ton of awesome dudes here that I have never even met in person but they are all my brothers (and a few sisters even!) Glad you joined us. It definitely is where all the cool kids hang out!
-
49 yr user of too many yrs but 872 days of freedom - this site will only add to your quit as much as you are willing to invest into it
shoot me a pm if i can help up you navigate the ktc waters
-
Welcome Smeds and it looks like you have a nice quit going. As far as the oral fixation goes, I still have a winter green life saver in my mount about 80% of the time. And, that's being quit 93 days. I think the oral fixation urge will pass and, like Chewie says, is the least of your worries.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the responses. I chalk up my success "solo" as many have put it to the fact I told everybody I knew (including my 82 year old mom), "I quit chewing today". The more people I told, the more I knew I could potentially let down.
Got called out on the July roll call for stating I've been quit 37 days, but only having 3 posts. Remember fellas, some come on here After they quit. Tough for me to post 37 times on a workday!! I will come on and roll call every AM though, because I realize we are all in this together. Chew is a bitch, and I'm kicking her ass to the curb!
-
Welcome Smeds, congrats on the time quit so far, that's no small task especially on your own. I saw the post in July you are referring too, don't take it personally. It's uncommon to have some one post roll for the first time on day 37, but you're quit and that's all that matters. Take time to really invest in your quit. You said "The more people I told, the more I knew I could potentially let down." Well as I write this 112 people have read your intro, that's 112 more people you'd be letting down, looks like you have no choice but to stay quit.
Quitting with you today Smeds, PM me if you need a contact.

Dude you are a bad assed mutha quitter.. I don't know how you got that far without a support system. It was sooooo hard for me to get to 50 WITH the support of KTC, I cannot imagine doing it without.
Glad you are here, proud to be quit with you.
Sorry about the harsh shit in roll that you got wrapped up in, the group pitbulls are just kicking ass and taking names to get the deadweight on track or moved the fuck out of our way.
Quit hard man.

Ditto. And you quit 37 days solo - ducksback the post talk, that's impressive.
You just got another person you'd let down. Stay quit.
-
Smeds, don't worry about the roll call posts, one important thing to remember here is that brothers sometimes fight. All we truly care about is that you are quit for today. Proud to be quit with you today.

Yeah, I am a total Hooch junky. I bet you would really like spitfire. Reminds me a bit of the Copenhagen with the whiskey in it, although I was always a slave to the Kodiak Bear.
Anyway, I have been going through about a tin a day for 119 days. Luckily they are cheaper than Kodiak, and my lips feel much better without all the fiberglass.
Sometimes these days I find myself leaving the house without my Hooch, which is unfathomable a few months ago, when I would have a panic attack thinking about facing a day at work without my fake chew.
I am assuming it will continue to be less important. Have been worried about it some, but seeing that Chewie had 200 days of fake makes me feel better.
Great to have you on-board Smeds.

I use the fake as well. Didn't order any until about 20 days post quit but it has helped especially when I am around other Nic addicts or have sudden strong triggers. I don't use it all the time but always have some available to me.

The fake stuff really helps me get through the times where I would always be dipping in the past - hunting/fishing/hanging with my nicotine junkie friends...
Anything to not put the poison in your lip.

love this in multiple ways.
First great job on getting that month + on your own, that in of itself is huge, but I rather say and wish there were more, who were as smart as you who jump in after a certain number of days knowing that they need that little extra help to remain quit (and to work being quit into their life), So kudo's to you.
Second, yes like a lot of others I used fake (Hooch) just as the regular into about 80 days, then all of a sudden just did not need it as much and found in another month or two I barely used at all (though still keep it on hand for the toughest times).
And yes you may get some who jump the gun and call each other out. but what else to expect from a group of guys going through the mental game of quitting where the insides of each of us are re-writing on a daily basis to work without the poison we had used.
great job and yell if you need.

I just wanted to add a word of caution and warn you to be on the look out for the "just one" bullshit that will undoubtedly be rattling around in your head from time to time. You quit like a badass and that might give you a little bit of swagger. The worst thing you could do is justify "just one can't hurt. After all, I quit like a badass before and I can do it again on Monday."
"Just one" will absolutely show up in your thoughts. Recognize it for what it is (your biggest enemy) and keep on quitting.

There is no fricking way I will ever do the "just one", but I appreciate the heads-up! I've been reading like crazy, and learning alot here at KTC. This shit is over, for once Cope is now MY bitch, and I've kicked her ass to the curb!!
If I get the urge, I'll be reaching out to for the needed slap to the face ... ;)

Welcome to the Best of Your Life.
The more you're quit, the more you'll realize (like I did) that "being quit" is real living.
Nicotine infested brains don't think real well, except to want more poison.
We were not born with the poison in our mouths...Proud that you are here. Stick around.
Take what you need, give what you can and leave the bitchin' to the bitches.
ODAAT and NAFAR = One Day at a Time and Never Again for any Reason.
Remember, 1 problem + nicotine = 2 problems, we have enuff problems already...LOL
One dip is too many, 10,000 dips is never enuff! So glad you have had enuff!!
You're not here by accident.
Cheers to You and your family.

Welcome Aboard Smeds!!! I quit with you today from Madison WI. I use Smokey Mountain. Mostly for the big trigger activities. Golf, Fishing, Hunting, etc. I get it at walmart. Let me know if you want some digits.

Your quit is giving me a half quit chub. Keep it up and post roll EDD. I'll be here watching and helping if you want.

Awesome stuff! I'm 88 days quit and feel awesome! I was discouraged for quite some time because I was using Smokey Mountain and thought I was trading real dip for fake dip. Figured I'd never get over that oral fixation of having something packed nice and tight in the lower lip. Around day 50 I realized I was just throwing my money away on Smokey Mountain. I didn't need it mentally. I went a day without it, and survived. 2 days, 3 days, and so forth and I was still functioning. Hell I was functioning better than when I used the real shit. Now days and this is no lie... I throw in a piece of gum at the start of my shift, and I throw in a new piece after my lunch break. I seriously chew, 2 pieces of gum per day, that's it. This is coming from a 1 1/4 can per day for about 10 years, with a few "breaks" in that 10 yrs. There will come a day, much like the suck phase, where you realize you don't need anything packed in your lip. You're doing a killer job so far.... quitting w/you today! Btw, SE Minnesota here, Skol Vikes 'winker'
-
I like your attitude. The only thing I may suggest is to save some bucks by switching to seeds or fireballs. That fricking jerky is expensive. Keep up the bad ass quit, post roll every day, and you will naturally get tons of support here. I quit with you today.

Well, I reached out and sent a link to this site to a good buddy of mine. I've sat in a duck blind or boat seat across from him tens of hundreds of times ... and I want that to continue. He quit on his own 2 years ago for 5 months, and then one day just said "screw it" and bummed a dip from a friend. The story would have more punch if that friend was me, but it wasn't. However the whole time he was quit and working the mint herbal I never realized how strong he was. Here at my day 39, it slaps me across the chops. Here's to him coming in and quitting with us everyday. ODAAT. If anyone needs my contact info, PM me ... and thanks for quitting with me!

My old man quit chewing cold turkey and never looked back about 10 years ago. He did say that he thought about it a lot. I always just thought he was super awesome at self control....I had no idea until now.
Nice job reaching out to that buddy smeds. You've got a whole new perspective on his quit now. Unfortunately, it is all his call on whether he quits now or not. You can't make him but the encouragement can't hurt.
You've got a good quit started from what I can tell. Reaching out to others will strengthen that. If your buddy won't take your help, there are plenty on here that will. Just don't lose sight your own quit.
39 is bad ass...keep it up.
Quit with you.

I was wondering who you were, welcome and congrats on your quit. Let me know if you need any support.

Way to go, Smeds. I'm originally from NW WI, too. Good luck with your pal. I'm going to tell some friends about KTC but I'm waiting until I get to day 100 to tell them so I feel like I have some credibility (not that you don't) and battle stories.
Being an outdoorsman like you are must make quitting tough.
Stay strong. Glad to quit with you.

Keep it up. 40 days is no joke! This is quitting at it's finest. Keep working it, dishing it, tossing it, mixing it and throwing it. Glad to be quit with you today.

Welcome. Just caught up on your intro. Nice job working your quit on your own for 30+. The accountability and brotherhood of this site will put your quit into high gear.

Well boys, after a long holiday weekend (last week) spent fishing, doing yard work, detailing the truck, cleaning the pole barn (basically all potential triggers) ... I'm proud to say I'm still quitting "LF" every day! Wednesday night was our first night of Musky League and I was able to share some pearls of wisdom with my partner in league. He is a ninja dipper, and although uses infrequently ... he's an addict. Waaay back in my first week of quit he said, "Shit, if you can do this so can I"! Wednesday was the first time we had a chance to discuss life's biggest pain-in-the-ass ... and I told him I was at 45 days still quit, and asked him how his quit was going. He's still dipping! Said, "It was a stressful weekend"! I let him know to reach down and feel around for his balls and quit for good! Verbally shared some information from here, but more importantly sent him a link to the home page. Let him know to throw the shit away, and just go ODAAT. Thought of all you bad-asses while preaching to him! I know I can't make him, but I can throw some shit at him every chance (tempered with good advice).
I feel like my quit is going strong, and I attribute a lot of that to KTC, and the promise I make every day by posting roll. Had to switch over to regular jerky chew from the teriyaki ... my teeth were starting to hurt a little (normal in the process?), and I looked up the ingredients and found out the teriyaki has a bunch of sugar in it! Let's pack some sugar up against my teeth ... shit! I still have mental "flashes" of the Copenhagen days, but from my reading here I know that's that fucking bitch nicotine pulling at me to come back. But she weighs about 450 now and has herpes and has lost most of her teeth ... fuck her, I'm not coming back! I'm QLF EDD with all of my brothers here!
Have a great weekend everyone, PM me if you need anything!

Well boys, after a long holiday weekend (last week) spent fishing, doing yard work, detailing the truck, cleaning the pole barn (basically all potential triggers) ... I'm proud to say I'm still quitting "LF" every day! Wednesday night was our first night of Musky League and I was able to share some pearls of wisdom with my partner in league. He is a ninja dipper, and although uses infrequently ... he's an addict. Waaay back in my first week of quit he said, "Shit, if you can do this so can I"!

ItÂ’s the first day of summer Â… and the first day of summer in 32+ years I will enjoy without the poison of nicotine running through my body. In the last 70 days IÂ’ve experienced a shitload of firsts. I went on vacation with my wife without a dip in. I went fishing (multiple times) without a dip in. I worked on a project out at the duck shack without a dip in. I golfed without a dip in. I drove long-distances and short without a dip in. I talked on a cell phone without a dip in. I talked to my mother, sisters, brothers and friends without a dip in. I took a fucking shower without a dip in, a dump without a dip in, worked without a dip in, took in some live music without a dip in, had some beers without a dip in, did yard work without a dip in, pet my dogs without a dip in! ItÂ’s an unbelievable reality how many firsts I (we) have coming up in the remainder of my (our) lives. Thinking back on how many years/days/hours/minutes/seconds of my life I wasted as a slave to the bitch nicotine makes my quit that much stronger. The realization that I'll be 64 (I'm 50 now) before the number of years without nicotine equals the same number of years I was a dumb-fuck slave to nicotine makes my quit that much stronger. During the time of my addiction (which is ongoing) IÂ’ve seen the rise of the internet with a dip in Â… and for today (ODAAT) I promise each and every one of you no nicotine today Â… never again for any reason! IÂ’m quit like fuck! ItÂ’s Musky Fest weekend here in Hayward, WI Â… and although temptations abound, IÂ’m too committed to my quit, my family and all of my KTC brothers to even look in the direction of that nic bitch! IÂ’m off to the golf course, an annual Musky Fest scramble today with a small group of buds. Quit strong, stay strong, and enjoy the weekend ... I'm quit with all of you today!

Thanks for posting Smeds. This is awesome to look at to stay focused on this marathon. Proud to quit with you today and my quit is stronger today than it was yesterday.
Also, I have to say for being 50 your wife's knockers look pretty nice in that avatar there. Happy summer!

I love the smell of a good quit. You are winning Smeds so keep up the good work. I, too, was never an adult without nic so everything is pretty much a first. I don't miss spitting on my dick while taking a shit at all.
Quit on bro.

Day 128
Well, two of my closest friends (including the one I mentioned earlier in this intro) have decided to quit chewing, based on a lot of my soap box-ing. Neither of them are very computer literate ... much less the type to join a quit forum. However, they both know that I'm their quit-forum ... and that I'm full of it! Some of you will probably say, "yeah, no shit!" What I mean is that I am "full of" advice re: my quit ... I take ownership of it every day. I'm full of quit confidence, which according to Bronc makes me sexy as hell uncomfortably clears throat. I'm also aware of all the pitfalls that could take me down in the road ahead ... I'm aware of these things because of the men who have stopped and failed before me. We tend to hammer the shit out of a caver here, and I 100% understand why. We need to kill that guy, so that a new guy can be reborn. "The road to quit is littered with the bodies of the weak" - whose quote is that? I love it ... just can't remember who wrote it. The fact is, we are all cavers here ... we've all, at a minimum said "I'm gonna quit this shit today" ... only to go back to it. We understand the weakness, because it used to own us. Emphasis on "used to". I'm too damn strong now, my web of accountability is too large ... I've got too many BAQ's in my corner to let that fucking chemical EVER own me again!
I'm proud of my two buddies (and checking on them daily if not more), but I'm not done bothering the rest of the guys I share a deer camp/duck blind/boat with that still chew. I want them around too in the future ... and now I have extra tools to make them consider the choices they're making in life. I'm post-HOF, refocused, and loving life and the freedom of the quit! For all of that and more, I say "Thanks to KTC and my brothers of quit!"
Anyway, just wanted to get this in a place I can come back to and read later. See you on roll tomorrow ...

Day 128
Well, two of my closest friends (including the one I mentioned earlier in this intro) have decided to quit chewing, based on a lot of my soap box-ing. Neither of them are very computer literate ... much less the type to join a quit forum. However, they both know that I'm their quit-forum ... and that I'm full of it! Some of you will probably say, "yeah, no shit!" What I mean is that I am "full of" advice re: my quit ... I take ownership of it every day. I'm full of quit confidence, which according to Bronc makes me sexy as hell uncomfortably clears throat. I'm also aware of all the pitfalls that could take me down in the road ahead ... I'm aware of these things because of the men who have stopped and failed before me. We tend to hammer the shit out of a caver here, and I 100% understand why. We need to kill that guy, so that a new guy can be reborn. "The road to quit is littered with the bodies of the weak" - whose quote is that? I love it ... just can't remember who wrote it.

Good stuff man. I think we all can do with a little relighting of the fire every now and then. Proud to be quit with you.

I've been preaching to the people in my life who dip, so far to deaf ears. Great job Smeds, although they won't get the barrage of Smed-memes like we do.

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but the VAST majority of addicts quit when that internal voice tells them to stop and they finally listen. Usually, no amount of preaching/pleading/scolding/lecturing/cajoling/etc will convince someone to quit and quit for good. Hell, we have all happily ignored those giant black warning labels on top of every tin that say "This product causes cancer".

I agree Tuco ... 99.98% anyway. However, most of the time the people actually preaching/pleading/scolding/lecturing/cajoling/etc don't carry the toolbox of KTC with them. I know I got lucky ... and it was (is) worth the attempt ... every damn time. I'm sure they were teetering with the "want" as you said ... I'm just glad I gave the shove.

I do think an openly successful quitter challenges the status quo of active nicotine addicts, while failed quit attempts help them to tell themselves that quitting is too hard. Anyone who has used this site knows WAY more than the average nicotine addict and this knowledge is power.

OK ... July '14 lost a fairly reliable brother to the nic bitch this weekend. Here was a guy who took part in the HOF conductor process ... he had our digits. He caved while drunk, as have many before him There has been some good, at times heated discussion regarding this. I wanted to copy my post from there into here, because I'm curious if it rings true for others. Does everyone here ONLY look at this battle one day at a time? At what point does that progress into a "different" mindset? Am I over-confident? I definitely have the capacity to use again. But my choice is a resounding fucking NO!!!!! Here it is:
A different thought here ... from my perspective only:
For me, after 33 years ... this is the only time I have ever tried to quit. Sure, I thought about it in the past ... all the time with a turd in the lip. So this is my first quit, and my ONLY quit! I understand the ODAAT mentality, and embraced it early. However for me I think it truly pertains to the early part of my quit. Personally, to go along thinking I would spend the rest of my life depressed about the occasional pangs or cravings is now ridiculous. Why? Because at this stage in my quit I refuse to let them dictate my journey. I know it is the doubt and uncertainty about the quit that makes it difficult for some. I have no doubt, I have no uncertainty ... my mind-set is that this is FINAL and I do not doubt it, nor do I question it ... I celebrate it. I AM FUCKING QUIT, I've made that decision! On top of that, I make my daily promise to you guys, and all the other groups I post in. I am a man of integrity, and I mean what I say! For me, thatÂ’s ownership of my quit, and confidence in my quit. If I am found with a chew in my lip ... I was murdered, and someone for some fucked-up reason placed it there. FYI, same thing goes if you ever hear of me dead on a jogging trail ... call the investigators, I was murdered and placed there!

I do look at this ODAAT Smeds, but that is my personal preference. While I am confident this is my FINAL quit as well, I will always only promise one day, as I have broken my promise too many times in the past. I have told anyone who will listen as much, because once people hear for the first time I have quit, I frequently get the "is it forever" question. I answer that I have a great support site, and if I follow what I have been taught and practicing for the last 5 months that I will not use tobacco today.
I think the difference between us Smeds is that I have tried to quit 30-40 times, all of which involved lying to my wife and family once I started back up. I give you mad props for this being you first and only quit, but for me, I need to buy in to the ODAAT philosophy.

Thanks for weighing in Thumble, I appreciate it ... and understand it. We are all different in what brought us here. One thing is a constant ... I quit with you every damn day bro. Proud to call you my July brother.

At what point does that progress into a "different" mindset? Am I over-confident? I definitely have the capacity to use again. But my choice is a resounding fucking NO!!!!! Here it is:
A different thought here ... from my perspective only:
For me, after 33 years ... this is the only time I have ever tried to quit. Sure, I thought about it in the past ... all the time with a turd in the lip. So this is my first quit, and my ONLY quit! I understand the ODAAT mentality, and embraced it early. However for me I think it truly pertains to the early part of my quit. Personally, to go along thinking I would spend the rest of my life depressed about the occasional pangs or cravings is now ridiculous. Why? Because at this stage in my quit I refuse to let them dictate my journey. I know it is the doubt and uncertainty about the quit that makes it difficult for some. I have no doubt, I have no uncertainty ... my mind-set is that this is FINAL and I do not doubt it, nor do I question it ... I celebrate it. I AM FUCKING QUIT, I've made that decision! On top of that, I make my daily promise to you guys, and all the other groups I post in. I am a man of integrity, and I mean what I say! For me, thatÂ’s ownership of my quit, and confidence in my quit. If I am found with a chew in my lip ... I was murdered, and someone for some fucked-up reason placed it there. FYI, same thing goes if you ever hear of me dead on a jogging trail ... call the investigators, I was murdered and placed there!
I do look at this ODAAT Smeds, but that is my personal preference. While I am confident this is my FINAL quit as well, I will always only promise one day, as I have broken my promise too many times in the past. I have told anyone who will listen as much, because once people hear for the first time I have quit, I frequently get the "is it forever" question. I answer that I have a great support site, and if I follow what I have been taught and practicing for the last 5 months that I will not use tobacco today.
I think the difference between us Smeds is that I have tried to quit 30-40 times, all of which involved lying to my wife and family once I started back up. I give you mad props for this being you first and only quit, but for me, I need to buy in to the ODAAT philosophy.
Thanks for weighing in Thumble, I appreciate it ... and understand it. We are all different in what brought us here. One thing is a constant ... I quit with you every damn day bro. Proud to call you my July brother.
If I knew how to use the internets I'd post a picture of 2 July penguins in a hawt 69, but I don't know how to use the interwebs that well.
You of all people ... you need to see this (http://7reasons.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/No-Penguin-Sex.gif). You ain't right! QLF with you EDD though.
I think you are both right. Whatever works.
I personally think you gotta have confidence to do anything. Successful people are confident. And very successful people don't forget the basics. Quitting, and living life, are done best by quitting and living ODAAT. IMHO, ODAAT is the only way to go. Time is too valuable.
Keep up the badass quits!

OK ... July '14 lost a fairly reliable brother to the nic bitch this weekend. Here was a guy who took part in the HOF conductor process ... he had our digits.

I don't know if it's rude for me to cut into the Smeds T-wort make out session...but while I feel that this quit is different and will be with me my entire life. I know I owe it to the daily promise. If i stopped making that promise I know I wouldn't start dipping immediately...but somewhere down the road I do think I could be lured back into shit. On a different note, I am so fucking sick of alcohol being used as the reason to start dipping again. If you can't handle yourself don't drink. Whether drunk or sober my mentality doesn't change....I made a promise and I am not dipping. Quit with both of you guys. and grizzlyclaws as well.

Just for clarity, I want to point out that the VERY MOST important thing to me is posting roll, and early. I literally wake up, piss, and honor roll. I do that in every group ... EDD.
I realize there are many ways to quit. What works for me is burn the boats, burn the bridges, burn every thing behind me and embrace celebrate the new life of quit. This is not much different than those that do the same thing ODAAT. In reality, I start over each day with a renewed promise on roll.
Thanks to all who contributed, I appreciate the words. One thing is certain, I'm damn proud to be part of KTC!

One day at a time for me. I win one day at a time. And I love winning.
Those little craves or whatever are small reminders of 25 years worth of losing that are now 600+ days of back to back wins. We all use our mind a little differently to beat this demon - but I will continue to do so one day at a time. Hope this helps.

Smeds-
You are rocking this quit and helping others to kick the shit out of the nic.
If you quit ODAAT, every damn day, then you'll be quit forever. If you quit forever, you still have to do that ODAAT. Either way you're quit and that's what matters.
QUIT ON
-
What I was really trying to nail down in my attitude but could not was posted last night in my quit group by 30:
I quit today... it is the only day I live in, therefore it is the only day I can quit in.
I have no intention of using nicotine tomorrow either. or any of the tomorrows that follow that one. Therefore, the door is shut. the boats are burned, NAFAR.
Let me tell you a story of one of the early leaders in my quit group (May '11) His name was Hootie and he quit one day at a time for 280 days, posted roll right up to the last. He was a ROCK... no way I would have bet against that guy's quit, no chance.
Turns out he had never closed the door... never decided to pursue a lifetime of quit... So when he got some bad news about his health, and was told that he had to change his diet, and give up the booze, he decided that he NEEDED something... some forbidden "habit". (I am sure you know the way this ends) He never made day 281, because he went back to his one "bad habit". He romanticized dip all 280 days, longed for it the way one longs for a best friend. He might not have used for 280 days, but he sure as hell wasn't quit, he was just taking a break.
While one day at a time and NAFAR/burn your boats/close the door seem to be a paradox, both elements MUST be in place for your quit to survive the long haul. By now, you should have that door closed.
IF not-Close the door- Don't be a Hootie.
This is perfect to me. I've closed the door, I'm pursuing a lifetime of quit ... but I quit for today.
-
If you quit ODAAT, every damn day, then you'll be quit forever. If you quit forever, you still have to do that ODAAT. Either way you're quit and that's what matters.
This is pretty damn succinct! FMBM707, I could learn a thing or two from you!

165 days in of being quit like fuck. I've read so many stories of dip dreams, and cave dreams ... but I've been like the young pre-teen, waiting for his first pube (metaphorically speaking, you fuckers). Geez, I've gotten off easy ... I wonder why this hasn't happened to me? Every one else has had one or more it seems.
Last night was my cherry breaking. It was a cave dream, with a Cigar no less. I've probably had 10 cigars in my entire illustrious career of dumb-fuckedness. The details are not important, but the feeling of panic and shame I had upon sitting straight up in bed from a dead sleep were real. So was my wife's, "What the fuck are you doing?" Half-sleepy yell. I must've been talking in my sleep a little too. The best part of the whole thing was realizing it was just a dream ... and I'm not posting a day 1 in shame. 2nd best part was a strong memory of the dream, I believe right before I woke up ... my wife saying, "You know you just caved, right?" She gets it ...
See you on roll ...

It's great to see a guy get so upset about a cave dream. That tells us all here that you get it smeds. Next hump is to get over a cave dream that you woke up and still caved and then realize you didn't wake up yet... That's a killer.... Quit on dude!!!

Dropping This here (http://forum.killthecan.org/single/?p=8583729&t=1011419) so I don't have to find it again. Carry on ...
-
I'm adding this here too ... after a 170+ day brother caved today (after leaning on me earlier in the week), I finally took a long, hard look at how I felt. I want to share it with any who care, who may gain insight, or who'll think I'm full of shit. Mostly, I'm putting it here because I may need to read it repeatedly as our quits progress ... or fail to:
I'll be honest here, this one stung. They all sting, but this one had a hornet's quality to it. I'll make a promise to each and every one of you. I will continue to pour my heart into supporting you and your quit. We are in this battle together, and I'll fight with you step for step. But if at this point in our battle you disregard all of your tools, ignore all of the talks, the PM's, the phone calls ... blow off all of the texts and cave? Fuck you. I will NOT support you on round two, because the ability to trust in you is out the window. We are bonded by this addiction, the power of accountability, the brotherhood shared here ... if you shit on all that I guarantee I won't tolerate it. Personally I can tell each and every one of you that you will not see me cave. I have slammed that door shut. To leave it open a crack with any excuse is total bullshit to me. Maybe it's because I'm a stubborn fucker, I don't know. I like to think it's because I believe in integrity. When I say something ... I mean it. I am too fucking strong in my stance against this poison to allow it back in my life, in any form. Along with all of this is a consequence. I will not support your weakness if you cave. Why would I? Why would you? Who is empowered by that? What new quitter wants to know there is a reset button? This shit is life and death ... it's been repeated often enough that you should feel it in your bones. The road to quit is littered with the bodies of the weak. This site has never hidden the fact that it is extreme in nature. I believe we all embraced that when we registered and wandered around for a bit. Those who don't believe in the extreme have NOT wandered the halls here, because if you had you'll know exactly what I talk of. If you want to know that I have your back regardless of your actions, then I'm not your man. I expect something from each and every one of you. I expect you to be a man of honor, and integrity. What more do we have but our word, our promise each day? A man, without his word, is nothing. You've no doubt heard this expression before. What does this mean to you, personally? Do you think about the commitment you've made by signing up with KTC? When you give your word, the other person(s) must be able to assume it's a done deal; it should be money in the bank, a promise with value. When you fail to follow through, your word now has no value. Do not expect me to lower my values down because you have. I flat out refuse to do that. And I suggest you don't get upset with others who feel the exact same way. They only react harshly because they see degradation in the value of a promise ... and that, my brothers ... that fucking sucks.
-
I'm adding this here too ... after a 170+ day brother caved today (after leaning on me earlier in the week), I finally took a long, hard look at how I felt. I want to share it with any who care, who may gain insight, or who'll think I'm full of shit. Mostly, I'm putting it here because I may need to read it repeatedly as our quits progress ... or fail to:
I'll be honest here, this one stung. They all sting, but this one had a hornet's quality to it. I'll make a promise to each and every one of you. I will continue to pour my heart into supporting you and your quit. We are in this battle together, and I'll fight with you step for step. But if at this point in our battle you disregard all of your tools, ignore all of the talks, the PM's, the phone calls ... blow off all of the texts and cave? Fuck you. I will NOT support you on round two, because the ability to trust in you is out the window. We are bonded by this addiction, the power of accountability, the brotherhood shared here ... if you shit on all that I guarantee I won't tolerate it. Personally I can tell each and every one of you that you will not see me cave. I have slammed that door shut. To leave it open a crack with any excuse is total bullshit to me. Maybe it's because I'm a stubborn fucker, I don't know. I like to think it's because I believe in integrity. When I say something ... I mean it. I am too fucking strong in my stance against this poison to allow it back in my life, in any form. Along with all of this is a consequence. I will not support your weakness if you cave. Why would I? Why would you? Who is empowered by that? What new quitter wants to know there is a reset button? This shit is life and death ... it's been repeated often enough that you should feel it in your bones. The road to quit is littered with the bodies of the weak. This site has never hidden the fact that it is extreme in nature. I believe we all embraced that when we registered and wandered around for a bit. Those who don't believe in the extreme have NOT wandered the halls here, because if you had you'll know exactly what I talk of. If you want to know that I have your back regardless of your actions, then I'm not your man. I expect something from each and every one of you. I expect you to be a man of honor, and integrity. What more do we have but our word, our promise each day? A man, without his word, is nothing. You've no doubt heard this expression before. What does this mean to you, personally? Do you think about the commitment you've made by signing up with KTC? When you give your word, the other person(s) must be able to assume it's a done deal; it should be money in the bank, a promise with value. When you fail to follow through, your word now has no value. Do not expect me to lower my values down because you have. I flat out refuse to do that.

If there was a welcome back parade every time a guy caved and came back there'd be cavers all over the place.

Aewsome words Smeds! I'll quit with yoy EVERYDAY! Only the strong and committed survive. I believe you are strong!

Smedsy, I just want to thank you for everything that you do here. You are the epitome of a quitter and a vital part of this community. For anyone that has found KTC and is considering crushing this addiction, it is not easy but it sure is damn worth it. This guy will bend over backwards for you. He listens, he holds you accountable and he gets it!

Congrats, 8med! 200 is a great start.
Keep up the good work and like every day before I quit with you.
200 days....nice fucking work
Congrats on the 200 Smeds. You've always been there for me since I first posted roll on day 40 and I thank you. So here's to many more milestones.
Nice job Smeds on reaching the 2nd floor. To me there was no doubt because you drink Kool-Aid all day long. Then you serve the Kool-Aid all day long. Any newbs reading this needs to take notes, read up and emulate this quitter.
Smeds, it gets much better brother, just wait and see!
Smeds is pure bad ass quitification personified.
Congrats Smeds!!
Nicely done bro!
Congrats, Smeds! I'm not sure I would have made it this far without your support. You quite possibly saved my life! Thank you, sir!
Congrats on 200, brother!
Gentlemen ... I'm humbled, again! Proud to quit with every last soul here at KTC, EDD!
Awesome 200! Great Job brother.
Young quitters picking a quitter to emulate... Smedsy will show you the way. Congrats Smeds. I'm 22 days behind you.
Great work on 200! Congratulations
200! Congrats, glad you're here. I will quit with you any day and twice on Sundays
Congrats on 2bills, bro!

Day 228 ... I've been quit only 1.9521% days of the days I chewed. Less than 2% ... damn, I certainly was a fucktard.
Such a small percentage should be disheartening, but I realize that it's HUGE! I've said it before: I've only had one dip ... it lasted from 1982 - 2014 ... it was a long fucking dip. It'll take a long-ass time to even out chewing vs. chew-free. But you're damn right I'll get there ... and I'll see you guys for every day the good lord willing. At this time of year you start to reflect ... and I'm so very thankful for KTC and the brothers/friends in quit I fight with!
Random ... but that is all.
Happy Turkey day to you and yours ... travel safe, love lots, stay QUIT!

I stopped at our local corner gas station to grab some donuts for the guys, and while checking out, the price of Copenhagen grabbed my eye ... $8.23. Holy fuck! 409 days ago I remember how stupid I felt for continuously buying it at $7.30 or so. As I stared at that price tag, slowly mouthing the words "Fuck You" in my head (because out loud would have probably freaked the cashier out), I felt overwhelmingly grateful that I am free from that shit, as well as that outlay of cash. At today's prices, I would be on the hook for $40+ a week. Add us all up, and I bet we take at least $75K a DAY from the coffers of Big Tobacco. FU UST! I'm free from you ... we all are!

My late father (passed in February of 2006) had a brief stint as a sports reporter before family came along and ruined everything (lol). His column was called SPORTS WHIRLED, by Al Smedley - published in The Upper Darby News (Upper Darby, PA). Not sure why today of all days, but I'm missing him badly ... and thought I would share as well as store this story, he wrote in the mid-50's Love you Pops!:
Babe Didrickson Zaharias' valiant battle against cancer brings to mind another-
completely unpublicized-struggle of a woman who started out as a less-talented Babe-
type athlete, but who never lost her love for sports.
As a high school student this woman was a star girls basketball player. In the days
when games were being decided by scores like 10-8 or 9-4, she was regarded as
something of a phenomenal scorer when she once bucketed eight points in a single game.
She also played guard, and her coach told her she stuck as close to her opponent
as "fly-paper".
This woman also was a fine swimmer, who prided herself on her swimming and diving
ability.
But, unlike the Babe, who went on to bigger and better performances in practically
every sport, this woman met a man when she was only 18.
She married him.
A year later their first child was born-a son.
That marked the end of her active sports career.
But she never lost her interest in sports of all kinds.
When her son grew up, he became a football player for the home town high school.
His number one rooter, naturally, was his mother.
In fact, she was such an ardent fan, the son was sometimes a little embarrassed.
Everyone within shouting distance of her knew that number 26 plowing through the line
or backing it up was "my son."
She was not above a little second-guessing either-when she felt the coach didn't
play "my son" long enough or in the right spots.
Perhaps her proudest moment came when her son was given honorable mention on an all-
star football team.
She clipped the story out of the local newspaper, and, believe it or not, it was
practically worn out in a couple weeks.
She pulled the story out of her purse as often as most women pull out their lipstick.
She was a baseball fan, too, and through some quirk of her personality, she fell hard
for the Philadelphia Athletics.
Her son was a Phillies' man, but she couldn't switch her loyalty-no matter how hard
he tried.
Once, she talked him into taking her to see the A's in action.
It was the first-and last-time this National League man corrupted himself.
After six innings, the A's (as uaual) were losing to Cleveland. Heavy showers hit
the field and after about a 45 minute wait, the son talked her into going home-
feeling certain the game would be called.
When their car reached City Line Ave. the son switched on the radio just in time to
hear Sam Shapman hit a grand-slam homer to win the game for the A's.
It was a long time before he got over the effects of that particular ear-banging.
In later years, she developed a slight interest in the ponies-which never exceeded an
occasional $2 bet on some nag with a "pretty name".
Strangely enough, she won more often than not, and got the greatest kick out of
watching the races on television.
She also was a TV baseball, basketball and football fan.
Then suddenly, a pain in her back in a few frightening weeks turned into cancer-the
same type of cancer plaguing Babe Zaharias. She felt she shared a little something
in common and was rooting hard for the Babe to pull through.
She's the type of person a big league umpire would have liked.
When the doctors gave her the bad news-certain death-she didn't carry on and complain
about the call.
They had called three strikes on her just like that, but she took it with a smile and
went back to sit on the bench and wait for the end of the game.
It came-as it must to all people-but not quickly and easily as her children had hoped.
It was a slow, drawn-out extra-inning affair that took a lot out of her.
Yet, a few days before her death, and despite the fact her voice had dwindled off to
a mere whisper, her first question when her son came back from the Little League
State tournament at Williamsport was: "Did you win the championship?"
When told that Upper Darby had indeed won the state title, she smiled.
A few days later she was dead.
She died as she lived, loving sports and abiding by the rules of the game.
I can vouch for that you see,
She was my mother.

Awesome Smeds. Your dad had a gift, and it sounds like your grandma wasn't too shabby herself. Proud to quit with you today bro.

Not sure why today of all days, but I'm missing him badly ... and thought I would share as well as store this story, he wrote in the mid-50's Love you Pops!:
Babe Didrickson Zaharias' valiant battle against cancer brings to mind another-
completely unpublicized-struggle of a woman who started out as a less-talented Babe-
type athlete, but who never lost her love for sports.
As a high school student this woman was a star girls basketball player. In the days
when games were being decided by scores like 10-8 or 9-4, she was regarded as
something of a phenomenal scorer when she once bucketed eight points in a single game.
She also played guard, and her coach told her she stuck as close to her opponent
as "fly-paper".
This woman also was a fine swimmer, who prided herself on her swimming and diving
ability.
But, unlike the Babe, who went on to bigger and better performances in practically
every sport, this woman met a man when she was only 18.
She married him.
A year later their first child was born-a son.
That marked the end of her active sports career.
But she never lost her interest in sports of all kinds.
When her son grew up, he became a football player for the home town high school.
His number one rooter, naturally, was his mother.
In fact, she was such an ardent fan, the son was sometimes a little embarrassed.
Everyone within shouting distance of her knew that number 26 plowing through the line
or backing it up was "my son."
She was not above a little second-guessing either-when she felt the coach didn't
play "my son" long enough or in the right spots.
Perhaps her proudest moment came when her son was given honorable mention on an all-
star football team.
She clipped the story out of the local newspaper, and, believe it or not, it was
practically worn out in a couple weeks.
She pulled the story out of her purse as often as most women pull out their lipstick.
She was a baseball fan, too, and through some quirk of her personality, she fell hard
for the Philadelphia Athletics.
Her son was a Phillies' man, but she couldn't switch her loyalty-no matter how hard
he tried.
Once, she talked him into taking her to see the A's in action.
It was the first-and last-time this National League man corrupted himself.
After six innings, the A's (as uaual) were losing to Cleveland. Heavy showers hit
the field and after about a 45 minute wait, the son talked her into going home-
feeling certain the game would be called.
When their car reached City Line Ave. the son switched on the radio just in time to
hear Sam Shapman hit a grand-slam homer to win the game for the A's.
It was a long time before he got over the effects of that particular ear-banging.
In later years, she developed a slight interest in the ponies-which never exceeded an
occasional $2 bet on some nag with a "pretty name".
Strangely enough, she won more often than not, and got the greatest kick out of
watching the races on television.
She also was a TV baseball, basketball and football fan.
Then suddenly, a pain in her back in a few frightening weeks turned into cancer-the
same type of cancer plaguing Babe Zaharias. She felt she shared a little something
in common and was rooting hard for the Babe to pull through.
She's the type of person a big league umpire would have liked.
When the doctors gave her the bad news-certain death-she didn't carry on and complain
about the call.
They had called three strikes on her just like that, but she took it with a smile and
went back to sit on the bench and wait for the end of the game.
It came-as it must to all people-but not quickly and easily as her children had hoped.
It was a slow, drawn-out extra-inning affair that took a lot out of her.
Yet, a few days before her death, and despite the fact her voice had dwindled off to
a mere whisper, her first question when her son came back from the Little League
State tournament at Williamsport was: "Did you win the championship?"
When told that Upper Darby had indeed won the state title, she smiled.
A few days later she was dead.
She died as she lived, loving sports and abiding by the rules of the game.
I can vouch for that you see,
She was my mother.
terrific story thank you for sharing that!
i hope you have a reprint of that article framed and hanging in a place of honor.
That was awesome! Great story, she never gave up on life,life gave up on her. Sound like an awesome lady! Thanks for sharing. Nothing like our Father's Smeds, you will be reunited some day and I guarantee your pops was smiling at probably one of your best post ever!
Great parents are a great gift. So are great children. You are blessed to have patents like this. They were blessed to have a son like you.
Great post Smeds.

Quitters, once again ... I'm humbled by all of your support. Damn proud to be here, and I'll be damn proud at 501 too. Thanks for the quit chub daily, this quit just keeps getting better. I quit with all of you!
Edit: my 500 day present to myself was a trip to the dentist. The first time since I quit. All clear, looks great in there ... everything healed up from 32+ years of dickheadedness. It was a good present.

Yeah I'm a couple of hours early, but wanted to be the first to wish Mr Smeds a giant congratulations on FIVE HUNDRED DAYS of freedom!!! Every class,if they are lucky, has a couple of bad asses that just get it. You are one of those guys, and it is an honor to quit with you. Thanks for all of the support and friendship. From one numbers guy to another... One day at a time sure is the way to freedom. Congrats.
Congrats Smeds, and thanks for the dose of no-nonsense approach to this quit. You are truly an inspiration, especially to us new guys, and 500 days is incredible. Quit with you all day on your 500!
Smeds, you are the ultimate quitter. Seriously. Level-headed, from the hip, and one of the biggest badass quitters I've met. Congrats on the 500 today!
Congrats Smeds, well deserved milestone. You set the pace and pull others along that may not be quit today. You care and it shows daily. Keep it going Tom. 'oh yeah'
Congrats on your half comma or 5x your HOF. Killing it daily works man. Glad to quit with you
Nice job brother Tom on that half comma! Your support for vets and newbs is legendary! I would say that many a quitter may have fallen victim to the bitch if not for you! Enjoy the day and milestone!

Thanks all ... once again, truly appreciated.
I'm in charge of this quit, and have control over it 100% ... no longer will nicotine control shit in my life!!
I wake, piss and post EDD with my July '14 brothers ... and often with a few other groups. It's my morning pill. I take said pill to stave off any chances of an addiction coming back at me, trying to control me. I take many other quit pills almost daily, interacting via text, phone calls, meet-ups ... staying active and accountable. Some choose to go down another path. Most of them fail.
I won't fail. I'll see you at 1,000 ... until then, EDD on roll.

Seriously, for any wannabe quitters who are looking for someone to model their quit on, look no further. You are the man, Smeds!!!
Thanks to all! The formula is damn simple ... wake, piss, post my promise, follow through on my promise by keeping shit out of my lip. One thing that always ruffles my feathers are all the long-tooth quitters who throw out the "I'm one bad decision away from using" line. That may have been applicable early in your quits, but shit ... if you're still quitting deep in your quit like you were in the early stages, you're doing something wrong. I'm literally HUNDREDS of bad decisions away from using again. Every last dude dudette I've interacted with requires a decision to fuck them over. My wife requires one. My mother at 84 years old requires another. Once you get deeper in your quit, you should have one of the most impressive tool bags anyone can carry ... I know I do. HOWEVER, I'm no dumbshit ... and I realize what got me hear will always keep me here. That's why I take my morning pill (roll) every damn day. My addiction requires me to ACTIVELY quit, not passively. I live, breathe, eat and sometimes shit quit. Sure, I hear a whisper once in a blue moon ... but the tools I carry and the active fight I bring daily crush those whispers.
If you're a newb reading this, either in the beginnings of your quit or just thinking about quitting ... you can do this. Reach down, find your marbles (marbletttes?), and be a stubborn fucker. Make some connections within and outside of your group. Help some others who are struggling. Most importantly, live your quit. Only speak quit, only act quit ... the rest falls into place and the days stack like nothing!
See you on roll tomorrow ...

Bump. I invite everyone to the July 2014 group and read what's going on. Smeds is one of the leaders of our group, and to see that a group of 1,000 day quitters is having interaction with one another is a great thing, good or bad. Smeds and Grady are our leaders because they care that some guys have missed 100+ days, now if that isn't accountability I don't know what is. Post roll with us, I am proud to be a July 2014 DD !

4 + years ago I said no more to nicotine, which ruled my life for 32+ years. I wrapped my head around the fact that I was an addict. I still am ... but now I'm addicted to being quit, and staying quit. Now I just shake my head at the sight of a blob of Copenhagen thrown on the ground at work. I feel sorry for the slaves that can't break free of the hold a damn plant has on them, because that used to be me. No more, and never again.
If you are owned by a plant, find a way to quit.
