I quit today. 20 yrs of being held captive by Copenhagen. I have tried before but this time I WANT TO.
I have the most wonderful wife and two best boys, 7 yrs and 4 yrs. I don't want them to learn this from me. My dad dipped growing up so I followed suit. I don't want that for my kids. I work in a steel mill so I work swing shifts and I happen to be on night number two as I write this. I stopped and got cans of smokey mountain and threw my last can of snuff out the window on the highway. I spent all night last night reading on this site and had planned to stop on my first morning off but after reading last night I just needed to nut up and do it now. I took my last dip at 7:30 this morning. I know it gets better, it has to cause this sucks. I will need help, I am hard headed and tried this before.

Welcome to the Suck Sir Nope! Understand that the next few days will be difficult. I'm only on day 6 and today was, almost, decent. But it does get better!
Hang in there, it is worth it and I quit with you today!

Welcome Sir Nope....
I'm a recovering addict, nearly four decades to Copenhagen. More than a can a day for the vast majority of those years. Best advice I can give you right now is to go post roll...you'll be in the December Quit Group... you can find them here: December 14 RANT (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/10503924/148/#new)You can learn how to post roll here:How to Post Roll (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/1003072/1/#new). Posting roll is the foundation of the site...it is your promise to your quit group that no matter what, you will not pollute your body with any form of nicotine that day. Posting early removes the option to use...simple as that. Site is built on the accountability and integrity of each quitter.
Read everything you can find on this site....there is a wealth of information about the quit journey you are embarking on. It WILL SUCK, for a fair amount of time, as your body weans itself off nicotine, then as your brain rewires itself to shut down all the dopamine receptors you've built up over time.
Drink plenty of water, as that will also help in the detoxification process. Whether you use gum, seeds, fake dip is up to you...just whatever works to keep DIP out of your face.
Glad you're here.

Welcome to freedom. Freedom comes with a price. Post roll and honor your word. It's not easy but it's very simple. You can definitely do this. I quit with you today.
-
Nice bro! Welcome.
I am an addict. 25 years of flat out idiocy. I was up to 2 cans a day for the last 10 years or so. Hardcore.
510 days ago I dropped it cold turkey.
You. Can. Do. This.
Keep this site close for awhile. All the inspiration and motivation you need is right here. Get to know this site... Get to know your quit group. Get involved and stay involved. It really does work m'man. Freedom is here and it's yours for the taking. Rock on...

Welcome to the asylum Neil......Your intro is solid, you already have the understanding of this undertaking and that will go along ways. Realizing that we are addicts is have the battle. Then we (you) just need to start kicking the nic bitch in the face. I to was a 25+ year nicotine addict and it took me until 40 to figure it out. What a dumb ass I was! Like the others have said, post roll, keep your promise and do it again the next day. We'll walk with you through the fire brother...........

Welcome Sir, good to have you. These guys have laid down some great advice.
Do not be afraid to shout when things get rough. People will be tripping over each other to help.

Thanks Menace and others. I was really lucky to have stumbled into this place. I read all night last night here at work and just couldn't do it anymore. My struggle other then the dip will be how, when and where my rage is directed. I don't have a problem with being an asshole at work but I don't care to bring that home.

Welcome to the family bro. Best decision you can make. Glad to have you here. Hydrate, exercise read as much as you can.
-
You'll never regret quitting.
Get on live chat when you want to rage.
Drink a lot of water the next week or so.
It's going to suck before it gets better but it will get better. Quit one day at a time. If you're stubborn you can make the promise once a day not to use nicotine and then stick to it.
Don't let this shit kill you.
-
WOOHOOO!!!! Grats on deciding to keep your face, and tongue! Best decision you've ever made for yourself. I'm so happy for you! You say want to quit, and that's awesome! Are you willing to follow the program? Are you willing to commit to what is required at KTC every day for the rest of your life? It's not a hard thing to do, but it must absolutely become a priority in your life, and your wife and kids need to know about KTC, and they need to know what you will be going through, and they need to know what is required of you. So, in short you must do the following:
1. Read. Read everything on this site. Learn from the quitters here. Think you have a problem nobody else has? Wrong. Ask questions, and read about our addiction.
2. POST ROLL DAILY WITHOUT FAIL! YES EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER OR YOU ARE ONLY ON A CELLPHONE. YES EVEN THEN! It's the cornerstone of KTC and you must commit to it every day.
3. Get some phone numbers to people in KTC and use them should you decide to allow your sorry carcass to cave. They are your lifeline. I'll PM you my info, but you want some people in your quit group.
Good luck to you, and I am quitting with you today!

Day 2 has been a day. I can feel my temper getting shorter and shorter as my shift goes on. Up all night again. Have been eating this smoky mountain like its candy. Feel surprisingly good but all that can change in a moments notice. Thanks for all the pm's and encouragement. I quit again today and plan on quitting again tomorrow.

Great job on today Neil. We will worry about tomorrow tomorrow. It will likely get worse before it gets better. EXPECT IT. Be ready brother. There is an end, and it is so worth it. But it does take some time. You can do this man. It hurts so bad, but it will not kill you, I promise. Stay the course.
If you need another number just say the word. I never mind picking up a winner. I have a feeling that you really want this bad.

Day 3 is wrapping up and once again I am at work on my last night shift. I want to say it's been easier being at work then I think it will be at home. I work 4 days then have 4 days off and so on. So many more triggers there then here at work. Tomorrow I will wake up and quit, I will head to the golf course and quit and I will keep that quit going all day long. The fog is here and I just have to grab and embrace it. This is for me first and foremost but it's for my wonderful wife and two young boys. I quit today and I have never been more excited to be a quitter. Thanks for the support from jwright, QuitInCa and It's_Got2Happen.

You've got some bad ass quitters in your corner Neil. That is key - get there numbers and shoot them a text. Making connections here makes the accountability stronger
I noticed thatvyoubpostcearly you are hard headed. Pretty common trait here. Most of the peeps on this board are very driven - all in on everything we do. Balls to the wall. You will put that same level of focus on your quit and you will succeed. Because one day at a time, you cannot fail.
Welcome aboard! This is hard dude... But it gets better. Freedom is a wonderful thing. One day at a time.

Day 4 for me and it's been a huge victory. My sanctuary, my place of refuge is a golf course. Doesn't matter if it's Augusta or a cow pasture just being there is one of my heavens. Well today was the first competitive round I have played in 20 years without Copenhagen. Now I will be the first to say that I have a some what bad attitude on the course, break clubs, cussing and throwing a fit. Nothing to make a scene or take up time but I am hard on myself. Today was great. My playing partner is also my best friend, a can of cope a day for him too. He didn't miss a beat and didn't coddle me. It was out, he was dipping and I could have cared less. Win win.
I planted the seed for him to start his quit too but I can't do it for him. That day will come. Thanks to everyone on KTC for everything, just reading on here shuts a craving down. Still quitting and plan on doing it all day.

To be fair, Nolaq whacks and fucks everywhere he goes.
Be proud of your accomplishment, but be weary. She attacks when we are at our weakest. You hook a few shots? "You play better with me..." Miss a put? "You're just not concentrating like you did with me..."
Be weary and have plans (especially when your partner has it). Plan to be quit and you will be quit.

Nice win on the course Sir Nope. You are a fearless quitter. I was still curled up on the couch feeling helpless on day 4. In fact, I had just found the site on that day.
I like the fact that you are out playing golf already. Without nicotine, you will conquer all of the things that you use to do with it. Nicotine never helped you.
Wastepanel made a great point yesterday. Heed it. Be ready always, post roll early, have a plan, reach out to quitters when you need to. You are now 5 days quit. It took years to make this decision and to get to this point. It only takes one second of stupidity to screw it up.
You've got this Sir. Keep it up.

That's my nature I guess to not let anything keep me back from doing what I like to do. Hunting season is about to start and I will be damned if I am going to let the nic bitch take away my duck season. I will take a more proactive stance on fighting craves because what Its_got says about only taking seconds to screw up really hits hard. Quitting all day and everyday

Day 5 was hard for a few reasons that I didn't expect. Had the day all to myself and the craves were few and far between. What I had trouble with today was more rage and uneasiness. Grilled out dinner and I guess my wife wasn't happy with something I had done. Little bit of arguing but nothing major. Then went to the high school football game of the little country school district my kids attend. Being around all the little kids and screaming and having them crawling all over you just got to me. Now these aren't my kids, well one of them was but he knows better. I had my seeds and fake with me so it wasn't a crave that got to me but I guess I just didn't have the normal patience. I tried to keep it hidden that I was uneasy but by the end of the 3rd quarter I had to get up and just have some space. This quit brings something new every day and I love it. Can't be complacent because you never know how the little bitch is going to come at you. Bring it on nic bitch. QLF

One day at a time. Nicotine dulled all of your senses before. It leveled out the lows, but it slso leveled out the highs. It redefined your life in ways that you didn't realize, and didn't want. It will get better... Your brain will rewire and as it does you are going to enjoy the peaks and valleys more and more. Keep the faith
Hope your team won!

Another nice win Nope. And what you are feeling is completely normal. You are right on track. If you don't believe me just do some digging. If you have not done so already I would HIGHLY suggest that you dig into the intro of one or more quitters on here. Go back to the beginning of their threads and you will that they struggled in very similar ways. I suggest Skoalmonster, wastepanel, Deisel2212. If you are really bored and want to get into the mind of a lunatic you could read my intro. HOF speeches and Word of Wisdom make for some great reading too.
Keep it up. You are doing great.

^^listen to these guys. You're experiencing sensory overload. It's a good thing. You are now alive. You were a nic zombie before. This is great. Embrace freedom brother!

excellent work SNH. Most of us have a "refuge" where dip ruled our lives. Golf, fishing, hunting etc. It's awesome to break those barriers/chains and see that you can do any of those things without a dip in your hole.
well done!
Now I'm off to whack since mrs tarp says no to fuck.......

Well done, Sir.

Day 11 is ending the same way that the last 10 have, reading about what other badass quitters are doing with their daily victory. I was somewhat skeptical when this all started because I really wasn't planning on quitting. I didn't feel a need to, nothing was wrong with me that I knew of or anything like that. It all started when my wife sent me a picture of a guy she found that just had half his tongue removed. I didn't want to look at the picture I just deleted it off my phone. But that got me thinking about what I needed to do and some how I stumbled on KTC. That was the night of the 7th and I spent that whole night reading on this site. That next morning I got rid of my last can of Copenhagen and haven't looked back since.
I have often wondered if maybe I had so much nic in my body that it was going to take longer then the 3 days to get it all out. I have felt great all 11 days. Using the smokey mountain when I need to but other then the cravings after eating and the fog I am loving life. The shakes kill some of my painting sessions but I am doing something new when those happen.
I want to thank all the Dec RANTs but especially jwright, QuitInCa and UHLawDog for keeping me straight.

Sir Nope
Those shakes will eventually go away.
They'll never be able to replace your tongue or jaw if they have to take either or both.
Keep quitting one day at a time. If the fog is getting bad hydrate- drink a lot of water- it will help. Keep feeding your quit every day- keep posting roll and making that promise and keep reading stuff on KTC- there are a lot of great thoughts, stories, comments etc on here.
Quit with you Sir Nopenhagen!
If I can ever be a help to your quit send me a PM.
-
Great start to the quit Sir Nope; let's look at a few of your quit stats out of the gates. 11 for 11 on posting roll. Almost 40 board posts, avg about 4 per day. Active self-intro, active on other newbie intro's. And you continue to read and read all of the wisdom offered on this site.
This,...is how you do it. That is how you quit like fuck every damn day. Other December RANTs take notice, this is a guy in your quit group you should follow and model yourself after.
Keep it up Sir Nope...the hill of freedom you're climbing only goes up from here.
-
Keep it up Sir Nope. You are doing great.
You do not need nicotine and you never really did. Nicotine does ONLY ONE THING. NICOTINE REMOVES THE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS THAT NICOTINE CREATES. What a racket big tobacco has going. I only wish I hadnt contributed $30,000 to their cause before I figured it out.
-
Well 14 days in this quit and something's are becoming very apparent. I knew I was 1.5 cans a day but I never really thought about how often or long I had a dip in. I wake up around 5:00 almost every morning and the first thing I use to do was throw a dip in. Well I don't normally go to bed until midnight and the last thing I would do was brush my teeth after spitting a dip out. I never realized that I had a dip in ALL day. I was not a ninja dipper. I could give 2 shits what anyone thought of my dipping. I mean I grew up going to church and seeing my dad and many others with spit cups at church. I guess I thought I was such a badass that I could dip anywhere and everywhere I wanted. A lie from the nic bitch, one of many that I bought into.
Life has gotten back to normal for me really. Kids in school, wife teaching so when I am off on weekdays I have the whole house to my self. I got back into my wood shop on Friday for the first time in 2 weeks. Had to cleanup a few old spitters and some empty cans but finally cleaned that room up. Starting to take back my life and do things again for some first times. I can't believe that I let the nic bitch have 25+ years of my life. Never again.

22 days into my quit and had my first cave dream. Smoked a cigarette and screwed my quit up. That's when I woke up. I was pissed and really felt like I let everyone down. Took me a few minutes to really get it back in my head that it was only a dream. The nic-bitch was throwing anything and everything at me.
The craves have been getting few and far between but the ones I do get are pretty strong ones. Example - mexican food, grew up in texas so it was a big part of growing up. Haven't had any since I quit and the wife was begging for some so off we went. Well I knew it was going to be bad when I had the crave for snuff before my food even made it to my table. I had a plan and was ready for it. That wouldn't have happened before I found this site. I just wanted to thank everyone who has helped me out so far and I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon.
I wanted to thank the guys that I keep in touch with everyday, you guys know who you are. And if you are reading this and don't have a core group to help you when you need it, get one now.
Day 22 and not looking back.

Great work Nope. The nic bitch is losing her grip on you and will pull out all the stops to get you back. Dreams can be powerful. This will not be your last one.
I still have some huge triggers as well. I am preparing to deer hunt for the 2nd season since I quit and believe or not the bitch still whispers. But I am not afraid. I know her game. I know the emptiness, lies and deceit. I know that nicotine does NOTHING for me. And you are learning this too. Great job on 22 days. You are kicking ass man. You have my number, if you need anything, shout.

How's that swing shift going? I had to go to work at 1AM this morning and boy was something missing. Dip was always what I thought kept me going through the night. My seeds and a tall boy monster worked it out just fine. Great following your intro and that's classic about the spitters in church. Quit with you today!

Over the 30 day mark and on to my next month of quit. Really starting to settle into the realization that I was owned by that nic bitch. She was the one that told me when, where and how high. I had to go out of my way to make sure she was happy. Not any more not ever again. Not going to get complacent either, she is a tricky bitch.
If you read this and need help, please ask. If you read this and think you cant quit, please ask. Everyone on here has helped me save my life. I am ready to pass it forward. QLF

Nice Sir. I love hearing about when people "get it". It just happens. You gotta wait for it to happen. These days will fuel your quit and your drive to help others.
Congrats on a month. Let's work on another month. Remember - you can't even do tomorrow if you can't thru today.
Here is to "today".
Quit with you
-
Today is 50 days. 50 days since the nic bitch last had a hold on me. Never would I have thought that I could pull off 50 days. I was a slave to copenhagen for 26+ years, I am only 36 years old so that should have never happened. I found this site one night on a whim and then put the can down. It's the best decision I have ever made. My two boys and my wife are the most important things in my life but I had to quit for ME. if you are reading this and thinking there is no way I can do it, that's just the nic bitch filling your head with crap. Step up, jump in feet first and drink the KTC kool aid. PM me if you need anything it there are thousands of other quitters here ready to help. 50 down and +1 to go for the rest of my life.

Neil, great quit you got going here. Keep it up. No reason at all to not do what you have done for the last 50 days on day 51, and then repeat. You are half way to the HOF, and closer than you can imagine to a way better quit. Keep building your accountability and nurture a solid hate for the poison and it's pushers at big tobacco. Don't be afraid to reach out if you need to. QLF with you all day, and congrates on 50 days of freedom!

I posted this in Dec 14 and it needed to be here also.
Ok so today is day 54 for me. I woke up this morning and got ready to do my ammo hoarding rounds and put my hand in the pocket of my jacket and there was a can of Copenhagen from last winter in it. No biggie just dumped it and threw the can away.
I went about my day and then it hit, the worst crave I have ever had. I was just driving home in town after getting lunch.
Now newer quitters reading this take notes, when we talk about a plan have one. I had a plan. I had fake, I had gum, tooth picks but most important I had digits.
This is big thank you to jwright. I hit him up and he was there for me. He talked me down and he sent me a text picture of my intro. This crave right here would have ended my quit before I found KTC. It wasn't the fake or gum but the accountability of my brothers here. So thank you jwright.

Awesome job, Sir Nope. If I ever meet jwright in person, I'll buy him a Shiner bock. To anyone else who might be reading this thread, take heed. This dude gets it. He knows what it takes to quit....we can all learn from this.

Nope,
I just read your HOF speech. I can't imagine what it must have been like being an addict at such a young age. I'm proud to be quit with a guy like you. Thanks for being a good distraction for me in chat. Some of those nights were hard to get through. Looking forward to continuing this quit together.

Day 179 started off as a normal day, working night shift so I slept a good part of it. On my way in tonight I needed to pick up a can of fake and so I stopped at the tobacco shop thats the only sore that sells it. I walked in and stood at the counter and for the life of me out of no where came the thought of a can of copenhagen. I could not get my mouth to say smokey mountain.
That's when the "healthy" girl working the counter turned around and on her shoulders was a big bald headed Okie. I didn't need my phone or digits at that point cause something snapped my ass back in place and I said smokey mountain. I got two extra cans just in case but that's the first time since close to day 60 that I have had anything like that happen to me.
Does KTC work? Hell yeah it does. The brotherhood and accountability that I have knocked that nic bitch in the tooth. Thank you KTC it's just another small victory to add to my +1 today.

DUUUUDE,
Stay out of those places... big Ol hairy witches and stuff in there.... Glad she had a Tattoo!
Amen on the KTC working... its good to have all this ammo to go with the other armor!
I quit with you today...
Seriously.. Stay out of those tobacco places....That's like a Duck thinking he can kiss an alligator?

I just read your HOF speech, Sir Nope. As you indicated, I'm sure you have had a lot of support but since I have been on the site I can see that you have given back and then some. It's people like you that inspire quitters to stay quit. Thanks for your support.

As I write this my last night in the 100 is passing. 200 days today and I am humbled by all the brothers that have helped me get to where I am. Thank you more then you will ever know. While 200 is a great achievement I can't help but think of my dad who after talking with him tonight he should be close to the 3 year mark and almost passing his comma the other day. He is not on this site, he doesn't do computers but after teaching him texts a few years ago he get just my number every morning. The man who taught me how to dip was also the man who taugh me how to quit. He gets up every morning goes to work and kicks the nic bitch the whole damn day. Yeah I am proud of my 200 but just for today think I am going to give it up to him and his quit. I love you dad.

500 is the number of the day and a lot has changed since the last time I put something in my intro. I was humbled when asked to be a bigger part of the site, I have been over 1 year quit and I now have a new baby girl that will never know her father was a dipper. To say that I am grateful is an understatement. I am blessed and honored to be a part of this family. This family that has been the reason I can say day 500 today in roll. Thank you. On to many more +1's.
