Last night at 6:00 p.m I finished my final dip of Copenhagen wintergreen. It had been a long road and about a week earlier I made my mind up to finally quit. I've only been a dipper for 4 years but I've failed trying to quit many times. This time I know it will be different. I want to live a long healthy life without losing my fucking jaw or life. I'm not quitting for anyone else except for me. I'm a firefighter, cousin, boyfriend, and son people look up to me I need to lead by example. Fuck you Copenhagen It's been 18 hours and it sucks right now but I refuse to fail.

Welcome Ronnie. Check out the Salmon colored welcome center in the top left. Post your word. Keep your word. Repeat. It can be done. We are all proof.

Great fucking attitude, way to direct that anger directly where it should be.
Post roll, read a ton and check your PM for a message form me.
Make a rescue plan and stick to it (gum, mints, fake dip, lots of water); the shit all works just pack accordingly otherwise in a weak moment you may cave if the temptations are allowed to creep.
Get lot of phone numbers from fellow quitters and own this shit!

Will do I appreciate it I've been chewing the shit out of sunflower seeds today and throwing back a lot of water. Tomorrow I'll be at the firehouse so that will be my first real test. But I'll stick with it

Yeah, like Pinched said, you have a quitters attitude. Now, follow through, post roll every day, keep your word, and I can not stress enough..... Read read read. Read everything on this site. Read introductions of badass quitters from the beginning. Read intros of guys that have dropped off. You will see the difference, you will know if you are putting your quit in danger. Also, update this intro as you go. You will get a ton of feedback to keep your quit on track.
Welcome. Glad to be quit with you.

All the best Ronnie, glad to have you in our November group.

The first whole day is almost through it has been rough to say the least but I know that it will only get worse before it starts to improve. I've upped my water to a little over a gallon still chewing the hell out of the seeds and even a little gum. I find gum hasn't been that helpful. Today though August 22 I will not have even one pinch of dip. Not today not tomorrow never again. I noticed it is 8:35 that means I'm officially 26 hours without any dip. Writing about everything seems to be helping. I don't want to piss off my co workers tommorow or my girlfriend or any family or friends for that matter. The writing seems to help my irritability a little. This by far is the roughest symptom so far I feel shitty constatnly and pissed off and I find it hard to concentrate. Day 1 without dip almost complete. Lets keep doing this.

You are doing it man. You are dealing with the worst of it right now, the physical withdrawals. You kicked nic's ass today. Congratulations. Post up tomorrow and do it again.
I am quit with you.

Thanks Ronnie. I'm finding the writing posting helps too a lot! Congrats on your first 26hrs, that's more than 1 day already down! Nearly 1/2 way to the magic 72. I just posted in GDubya's thread too, I was surprised today at the reception I got when telling my boss/coworker. You might just find a sympathetic soul to talk to but if nothing else, if you do get angry pissed off at them, they have a heads up of what's coming. You should get a positive reaction from family your best friends, who can hold you accountable will be on your side (even if they're still smoking/dipping themselves).
-
I'm actually the only tobacco user in the house the girlfriend was thrilled to hear about my quit and has been real supportive. I'm a firefighter and there are six of us at my current station and tommorrow I'll officially be the first one who is a non dipper. Exciting and scary at the same time. I can't really look ahead that far yet though. I get happy as each minute and hour goes by that my quit still last. We got this guys no longer will we let a fucking can have such a impact on us.

Post all that angry stuff here. These intros are a great place for a rant, and it will help you looking back at it to remember the fight you are in days 1-3. Quit on you are winning.

wish you all the best for tomorrow then bro. You never know what impact your manning up for this will have on your other 5 coworkers. You might find you just have a whole station house of quitters to help you through. if not feel free to PM me for cell # too.
-
Thats true Mike maybe someone actually being able to stick with a quit will get the others on board. Tommorrow I'll just take slow and focus on my job and and do what I can I'm sure I'll be on here when I have down time.
-
That's all you can do bro, just one day at a time. Go through best as you can don't forget to ask for help. If focusing on the job seems tough, remember like I learnt today, you can be your own worst judge, others probably won't even notice you're down on your work game, even though you'll feel it strongly.
-
I can't be down on my work game my work involves life and death I really don't think it will affect me that bad I'll just have to use working out as my bigger stress reliever now instead of my copenhagen.
-
If I need some help or even a kick in the ass I will definitely let you guys know.
-
Awesome to see you jumping in both feet Ronnie. PM me if you need anything. I've been staying in touch with a lot of guys from this site throughout the day and it is super helpful. I hope to see plus ones coming from you in roll call.
Peace.
-
Did I miss something here? Two things:
1. The thread title is wrong, Ronnie. As bad as it feels now (and I know it feels bad), what you feel is no comparison to what you will feel if you look into the mirror and are forced to admit that you weren't man enough to get through 24 hours without a dip, or worse yet you sold out your integrity for a can of nicotine.
2. I don't see a post. Would you mind giving me your word not to use nicotine today? Preferably that word will be posted in the Nov13 group. That's at the core of what we do here. I'll support the shit out of you, but I need you to have skin in the game. YOUR WORD is the key to you staying quit. Until you give it, this place won't help you any more than some health center pamphlet.
PM with questions, post questions here, read the WELCOME CENTER info. Then POST ROLL if you can keep your word not to dip TODAY.
-
Ronnie hasn't been on the site since 8/23. He posted roll once, then nothing. I didn't even have a chance to reach out to him yet. Damn, that's depressing.
-
Don't let your co-workers bum you out. I work with 4 guys that dip, they give me hell, they try to hand me their dip cans everyday, but I just tell them to f*ck off and to check out KTC for help. I would like to think that their temptations might have helped me stay quit so far. Keep in touch, hang in there!!!
-
I haven't been on this site in a long time. I last posted roll in august somewhere in the august 23 range. I made it two additional days after that. I recently got a message from a supporter on here who quite frankly gave me a little kick in the ass that I needed. After a month back on the can I'm now at 16 hours free. This time I will quit.
-
Seems to me you have needed several kicks didn't really go back in your thread to know more about you. At this point I welcome you back and time will tell if you can sac up long enough this time to go through the suck fog freedom. Ball is in your court dig deep.

What happened?
Why did it happen?
What are you going to do differently this time?

I had one of my best friends pass away very abruptly he was only 20 years old.
I have the right mindset and all distractions replaced.

I'm sorry to hear that about your friend. But all the best to you going into this for round #2 with the right mindset distractions removed! I'm trusting that your changes going forward will also include posting roll, since 2 days after stopping last time that was it. I post every morning. Not because I think I need to, though I do, but because it's my insurance policy against dipping that day. I get up in the morning I'm 99.9% sure of what the day will entail I should sail through fine now that I'm at day 58 right? Maybe. Maybe not. Theres always the chance that something terrible unexpected could happen which could make me just one bad decision away from a cave. But if I've posted roll for the morning, that optionis completely off the table. No matter what happens in the day.
-
It's day one First day I thought I was going to quit almost two months ago when I first joined. But in a couple of days I left the site and jumped back on the can. Looking back at that I feel foolish this time it's completely different and for the first time ever I actually feel good about this quit I feel at peace happy and motivated. Day one and I know there is still a long road ahead. But I can't wait to start this new journey in my life and to quit with all of you.

Ronnie,
I am glad to see that you came to your conclusion to come back. I am not gonna lie to you, but you missed out man. I wish I could have come over there taken that tin from you and made sure that you QUIT then. However, I am not your momma and you needed to decide for your self.
I posted into your original intro as a MOD (hint hint EVIL) will combine the two later.
PM me if you would like a phone number to keep to aid in your accountability. I will be more than happy to talk you off of the ledge at anytime.

Hey there Ronnie, glad your here.
Did you post roll with November '13 group?
If you did you owe them an explanation why you caved.
Time will certainly get away from you, I know I registered for forum access to the site back in June 2012, I didn't get around to posting roll quit until May 2013. Then I decided to cave and let a few months go by, I quit on July 16, I wasted just over a year finger banging the can some more.
I can tell you, don't waste another day. Check out the welcome center above, you probably already have if you've been lurking around the last couple months, I know I did......
You'll never regret a day quit, I can promise you that.

I wouldn't call this addressing the 3 questions. I am sorry for your loss of your friend but nicotine won't prevent life from happening. I won't brow beat it to death because it will really come down to one question.
Can you be a man of integrity and keep that promise today?
Post early and keep your word, some +1's will add up and things will start making sense again.

Yes I will. Instead of dealing with my problems head on i hid from them by using tobacco as my crutch was how i handled stressful situations. Thats as close to addressing the problem as i can get.
-
See here is the problem with stress and using a dump truck full of dip will not make the situation any better. You are only adding several additional problems with addiction, you add self loathing because you cant keep a promise to yourself, you add withdrawal and to avoid it you have to keep your cells fed or they will scream which adds more problems. You divide your attention of focusing on the problem with keeping the addiction cycle fed. See there is nothing in the formula that has relief at all. Its a fuckin lie that nicotine calms nerves if anything it revs them up and takes you out of the game. You need to get your mind right then you have a chance to work on your quit.

Hey Ronnie... glad your back. I am very sorry for your loss... that is just awful.
Having a hard time deciphering your 3 questions. You only made a couple of statements and then said your ready to start again. I am glad for that. Myabe it is somewhere else and I just cant find it.
So what are you going to do differently? Not sure I understand "all distractions have been replaced." Actually, I am 100% sure I don't understand.
You never really answered the other 2 either. All you said is your friend passed away and all distractions are replaced. I believe you need to put in some more thought to your 3 questions. In the end this is for you.
Are you serious about this, or are you going to be doing another day 1 by this weekend? Right now, I can't tell if you are serious about this. Are you?

The biggest difference is so far that I've told no one this time about my quit This way I'm the only one who knows and then I have the satisfaction in a couple of days to tell them about what I've done. The last time I really had no reason to start dipping again I really didn't. This time I just feel like it's not only time but that I actually want to. If you don't believe me or are doubtful that is to be expected but there really is nothing else I can tell you.

Umm, so did you answer the 3 questions. I would say no. If you have nothing better than that, than you are in trouble. Here they are again.
1. What happened? (what actually happened.... not my friend passed away.... walk yourself thru it. Did you walk into a C-store and a bunch of goons held you down until you dipped?)
2. Why did it happen? (you have been here quit, so why did this happen... did you not have a quit plan, did you not have numbers.... why did you cave? Did you even think of the commitment to stay quit?)
3. What are you going to do differently? (tell us what you will do differently that you didn;t do in the 2 questions above that will make you stay quit today.... what steps are you going to take)

One could also take the not telling friends as if you don't really quit you don't have to face anyone and hear I told you so. Let everyone know you quit and to not offer you any dip if they offer they are not your friend. My fatherinlaw knows I don't dip anymore and he turned away and stepped out of the room to take his dip last pm.
I think this is sM's quote it will suck til it don't and then it won't.
I say you answer the questions that Derk is asking you, they are for you more than anyone they are for you to take a long hard look at yourself and your quit. You may have a nugget of info that another newbie or anyone for that matter might hold on to to keep themselves quit from hearing and seeing your words.

So you're saying that you had not put your mind into your first 2 quits? Im just trying to wrap my head around your way of thinking.
You're now in the killers which is the group I belong to. I promise to help you out in any way that i can but if your not in this 100% then dont waste our fucking time.

Ronnie, grin and fucking bare it! Do not get defensive, Derk is not attacking you as it may seem. He is trying to get you to think through the why to help you with the now current quit.
Move on down the road, stay quit there is nothing more that you could do is prove him wrong. Hell prove everyone on here wrong, that is what we want the most out of you.

Derk and all of us are getting you to cross over to the other side where your mind has to be when you are quit. He/we all are trying to get you to see that your mindset has to change. I don't know how to 100% describe it but its that point where NAFAR really means what the letters mean. Where you would rather take a bullet than ever put that nasty fucking life robbing poison back in your mouth ever again. That's what he/we are doing.

Ronnie,
The good news is that if you were being a dickhead you didn't hurt my feeling or that of anyone else. Fuck up posting roll all you want, just do it continuously.
PM me if you ever want another phone number of a quitter to back you up.

Keep all your posts in your original thread that way you can go back and read it and you can capture your journey.
Good idea. I merged your two threads, Ronnie. Great decision to quit.
Okay and thank you
Hey Ronnie... glad your back. I am very sorry for your loss... that is just awful.
Having a hard time deciphering your 3 questions. You only made a couple of statements and then said your ready to start again. I am glad for that. Myabe it is somewhere else and I just cant find it.
So what are you going to do differently? Not sure I understand "all distractions have been replaced." Actually, I am 100% sure I don't understand.
You never really answered the other 2 either. All you said is your friend passed away and all distractions are replaced. I believe you need to put in some more thought to your 3 questions. In the end this is for you.
Are you serious about this, or are you going to be doing another day 1 by this weekend? Right now, I can't tell if you are serious about this. Are you?
The biggest difference is so far that I've told no one this time about my quit This way I'm the only one who knows and then I have the satisfaction in a couple of days to tell them about what I've done. The last time I really had no reason to start dipping again I really didn't. This time I just feel like it's not only time but that I actually want to. If you don't believe me or are doubtful that is to be expected but there really is nothing else I can tell you.
Umm, so did you answer the 3 questions. I would say no. If you have nothing better than that, than you are in trouble. Here they are again.
1. What happened? (what actually happened.... not my friend passed away.... walk yourself thru it. Did you walk into a C-store and a bunch of goons held you down until you dipped?)
2. Why did it happen? (you have been here quit, so why did this happen... did you not have a quit plan, did you not have numbers.... why did you cave? Did you even think of the commitment to stay quit?)
3. What are you going to do differently? (tell us what you will do differently that you didn;t do in the 2 questions above that will make you stay quit today.... what steps are you going to take)
I've put some thought into these questions and here is what happened
1. After my friend passed I his mother called me to inform me we had been buddies since we were small boys. When I found out he had passed I was on my third and a half day instead of handling things like a normal person or even not an addict I reacted by going to the gas station and without much thought I bought a can that me and him first started on. I got back out put the shit into my lip and remembered the times that we spent together. It hit me that instead of really remembering his life I'm shortening mine I think if he was still here he would've called me a dumbass for doing such a thing. At the end of the day I have no excuses why I did why I did.
2. As far as quit plan I didn't have one my goal was to tackle one day at a time and combat it that way. This time around I made a list of reasons why I need to quit and how I will combat triggers and craves.
3. My steps are this each day is a battle within myself that I want to win I'm competitive by nature so I'm turning it into a challenge and kind of a game if you have a fucked up sense of humor. I look at my family my girlfriend and my brothers at the firehouse and think that I will not let these people down who love and support me I will not give in on myself not now not ever. Fuck tobacco and where it has led me. The list is simple I will not let anybody or myself down I want to set the example that my brother fire firefighters my little cousins and my family and girlfriend to be proud of. I want to be the guy who has a family and can see them grow.

Save that, look at it often during your quit. Remember that right now your friend is up above smiling because if you live longer he lives longer in you.
I am damn proud of you brother, DAMN PROUD!

I'm pretty sure he is he was a hell of a fireman too me and him fought plenty of fire together and we would always have a dip afterwards I had a fire my last shift and when I didn't put in a dip afterwards it felt like he was looking at me at that moment with pride. Thank you pinched

The force is strong with this one. i see the fight coming out in you and your drive getting stronger. Hang in there and use whatever tool you need to, to help remind you why you quit and help you stay quit. We are all a team here and we push each other to make their drive to quit that much stronger.
So if someone pisses you off they are pushing you to increase your drive and use the anger as fuel for your drive. You no longer belong to the dark side so concentrate and increase your focus on the force and you will make it one day at a time.

you learn quickly young padawan. take it every hour at a time if you need to and most of all remember this is YOUR QUIT not anyone else's yours. Take ownership of it like a new truck and do what you need to, to make it stronger.

I will and I know it is this is the major factor for me and it makes me feel more confident. Will do Reaper

Great Ronnie!! I'm glad u thought thru those 3 questions. I looked at your thread this morning and someone missed your response!!! I'd like to help you expand on nr 3 a bit. Post roll daily and first thing. It will solidify your promise to be quit today. Make sure you have a lot of alternatives at the ready... Gum, seeds, fake, etc. whatever it takes. If you need a burger... Go get it. A shake... Go get it. Anything to keep the poison out of your face.
How are you doing with phone numbers? Reaching out to fellow quitters in time of need is critical. But not waiting until the critical time and getting to know folks will strengthen your quit. PM me if you need a number.
Focus on this thing ODAAT. Do whatever it takes today!
You will face ups and downs in life. The goal is to break the chain of reverting to the poison can when times get tough. You can do it. You are here. You posted roll and you are quit today. You have thousands of quitters in your corner ready to help you! QLF today!

Im doing what you have suggested and im reminding myself every minute thank you derk

Hey you have a good night there a good shift too Ronnie. Yeah the Hooch classic has a bit of a tea sweet taste to it, but it's the closest I've found. If you need a bit more of the burn, try the spitfire flavor. It's pretty hot, but the best sub I've found so far. Yeesh, day 63 tomorrow I'm still using it, but what the heck, it's keeping me quit so I'll accept a placebo for now.
-
Still havent tried the spitfire yet ill give it a try next shift.
-
Just about time to call it a night im heading to the firehouse in the morning. Its been 6 full days just starting 7 and all i can say is holy shit! Im finally feeling halfway normal again. It has felt like its been much longer but I guess thats how it goes when things are rewiring. Im proud of my acompolishments and know there are many more a head of me. I want to thank all of you for the support and the continuing brotherhood. Im proud to be quit with all of you thank you guys.
-
Hell yes Ronnie way to fight through the pain and feel normal again. Your doing an awesome job keep it up and keep pushing yourself to stay true to your quit. if there's anything i can do to help let me know. Proud to stand beside you in this fight for our freedom from the addiction.
-

I agree 100% It seems like time is dragging its ass. Just keep quitting ODAAT. Quit with you bro

finally feeling halfway normal again
You will do this one day at at a time. You screwed your brain for years,, I say again YEARS!! I'll let you add the days up on your own. You'll probably need a calculator. The days you have not used can be added up with your fingers. I say that to say this,,, 6 or 7 days is just the beginning. I didn't begin feeling better until about 40 days in. Maybe you will be different though,, you never no. In time you will start to feel better and begin feeling somewhat normal. What is normal exactly!?!? Your guess is as good as mine.
There is a door you need to get to. This door is hard to get to and open. Sharpen your tools, settle in and make your way to the door. I can't tell you how far the door is or how long it will be before you get to this door. You WILL get there one day at a time. I make you one promise and you can take it to the bank. You stay the course and live by this rule,, never again for any reason (nafar),,,,, you will love where this quit takes you. Life is so much better without the poison. Glad to be quit with you. Need another number let me know.

Ronnie, brother the days get better and better too. there are funks that you will hit but overall the daily euphoria is stronger each day. I am still an addict but each day I feel better. One day I may actually be cured but I have to remain vigilant as do you.

Another night in the books 7 more hours before shift change been a slow day at the station so ive had to chew a whole big ass bag of seeds today. Also gave hooch spitfire a try it was really good i suggest it to everybody. The cravings have been short but spread out. I know everytime I resist though my body is fucking thanking me. Tomorrow will be the start of day 8. Hope you guys had a great day of being quitters. I know I did.

Day 8 is almost over once i got off work this morning i rested for a few hours before i met up with some of my old wrestling buddies from high school. We all started chewing together to help us watch our weight and make weight. They were shocked that I actually quit dippin it felt damn good to say that i no longer use tobacco. Little successes like that make my day. Proud to be quit with all of my brothers on here.

awesome man... guess we got another thing in common, we were both wrastlers in high school
Thats badass how long did you wrestle and what weight class?
7th grade till my jr year when i tore the labrium in my shoulder i went 103 and 112s. i did freestyle and greco in the off season too. lol i weigh 170 pounds now hahaha i used to cut 120-103
Nice that sucks about your shoulder though. I wrestled 125 in middle school weighing in at 117. High school i wrestled 119 had to cut weight every year after freshman year. I still only weigh 135 pounds . Never did any greco did a few freestyle tournaments but didnt pursue it much.

Today is day ten and I'm back at work for some reason today has been one of the worst since I first started quitting. The intense cravings the feeling of my body burning from the inside out. Fog is feeling thick today. Day 10 has been rough thus far. I ran out of seeds this morning and didn't get anymore cause my fucking lip is completely fucking wrinkled and aching from all of the salt. I've been using some hooch today and drinking as much water as possible. I plan on spending as much time as possible on here and reading so I can keep my mind occupied. Day 10 and still nic free but It's been a hell of a fight today.

10 days is no joke and your mind is realizing it. I had a rough time the first 2 to 4 weeks. There was some days i felt ok but they all sucked for the most part.
Staying on this site really helps. Reading everything you can on addiction and nicotine will help you more than you know. Learn you're enemy,,, it knows you.
The fake will only help so much. Your brain knows it's not getting what it really wants. Dig deep brother. I make you a promise today.. It gets so much better! In time you will appreciate the fact your determination and drive got you through.
There is another promise i can make you today. If you reeeeeeaaaaally want this you can and will do it. You know how i know? If this half redneck can do it you can.
Besides all these reasons there is one more that sealed your fate today and gave you no choice, but to keep the filthy disgusting poison out. You gave your Word and we expect you to keep it.
Your worth all you have to go through Ronnie. You will like the new ronnie. The new Ronnie loves himself and family more than some idiotic weed that does only one thing well. TAKE!!! Quit with you today.

I quit with all of you today.

Ronnie you did great yesterday. You are proving to yourself each day that this is so possible. Each victory you add makes the next battle easier.
Ronnie look what you are doing man. Take a good look at how far you've come in 11 days. No turning back,, nothing is back there for you. Freedom, smell it, taste it and feel it. If you haven't done so step out your front door and take a good look. The world looks different without a can of poison leading you around by a leash.
My friend there is a door you need to get to. This door is hard to get to and open. I can't tell you how long it will take you to get there. I can tell you that you will get there with determination and drive. Settle it, learn your enemy, put your head down and push through. I can tell you that what's on the other side of the door is so worth it Ronnie. If you need another number let me know.

Idk how far away i am from getting to my door i know when i get there though it will be worth while. Thank you srans

I can tell you that after 25 years of use i couldn't remember what it was like post poison. I'm still learning how to act without a can of poison In My back pocket. I honestly had no idea how i was going to do this. Ktc showed me the way. Ktc taught me that i could have a better life.
I don't think i would have made it, in fact i wouldn't have made it. At 255 days i feel like my life has started over. As each day passes I'm finding that life without the poison is so much better. Its something how a promise each day changed my life.
Don't make the mistake so many have made. Take our advice and learn. Suck up your pride, post roll and stay quit. After time you will start seeing everything differently. The new ronnie will want to kick the old Ronnie right in the toosh for ever putting the filthy disgusting poison in his pie hole.
If you get time read my hof speech. Its in my signature line. I believe it will help you. Glad to be quit with you.

Day 13 and 14 have been extremely busy I've been at work for the past 36 hours. So posts have been slim on here but I've continued to post roll and remain nic free. 48 hour shifts have usually required a lot of snuff to make it through especially since we've ran calls almost non stop. This time has been good though and thankfully my quit is progressing. The fog the craves the still shitty feeling are lingering but it's a little better and craves are spread out. I will be glad when this withdrawal shit is over with. Hope you guys have a good night and stay quit.
