Hi everyone my name is Tim and I have been a nicotine addict for 12 years. I started off by smoking cigarettes and switched to dip many years ago. I have tried to quit cold turkey on my own several times and always fail after the second month. I didnt realize that there is another round of cravings that kick in around day 70 until I visited this site. My wife really wants me to quit and I don't want another gum graft or worse next time. I want to get some supplements to help me because I have tried seeds and jerky and neither seem to do. I looked into the fake dip and hooch looks pretty good. Has anyone tried it? Is that something that I can substitute for awhile without gum damage? I am hoping to post day 1 tomorrow because I already blew it today. So thanks in advance for the support and any answers to my questions.

Tim,
Congrats on quitting. Post day 1 now, tomorrow will never come. Dump your can in the toilet and flush that shit. Just make sure you look at why you are quitting. If its for your wife, you will resent her for making you quit, and will most likely just start hiding your addiction from her. Quit for yourself.
Hooch is good, I like spitfire and mint the most.
Look at the welcome center (pink link on the top) to learn about roll call. PM me if you have any questions.

Thanks for the reponse. II have just placed my order for some hooch to help curb the cravings a little. I am quitting for my wife and myself. I know the health risks and want to get out of it now before I really regret it. I had a gum graft in the front and consider myself lucky that is all I needed. If I don't quit now I will wreck my mouth. I am nervous about trying to quit without a substitute of some kind though. I was hiding this habit from my wife for a long time and finally told her yesterday. She is being very supportive and directed me here. I signed up on my own immediately so the only marital issues that are going to come from this is my pissy mood later on, lol.

Tim....
Got to quit now....If you hope to post roll it wont happen...The hardest part of the quit is right now...Its the decision that tomorrow never comes and that right now is the only time to quit. Dont put another cancer causing terd in your mouth. Decide right now that you wnat this for you. That you want to be free of all the poison that you voluntarily put in your body. Decide right now that you will do this. There is no other option!!! Take your life back, freedom is the greatest thing achieved but it doesnt start till you decide. Make the decision now! Post roll and see the support you get....You will do this!
PM me if you need anything

Ok, I am sitting at work checking this site and posting for the first time here. I am reading and getting motivated and have just thrown the skoal mint away. I really want to do this but am already scared to death of the commute home. What the hell am i going to do to stop myself from swinging by a gas station. I'm sure you have all heard this a million times. This is going to be great but right now it really f-ing blows.

You want to know how to stop yourself....Post roll call!
Promise not use nicotine for just today. Here's the dirty little secret the nic bitch does not want you to know. You can drive home with a chew in. You can mow the lawn without a chew in. You can watch football without a chew in. You can finish a meal and not immeaditly throw in a chew. You get the point.
Nicotine has you brain washed that you need it to survive. You do not. First three days suck breaking away from her. But you can do it. It just comes down to the choice of using it. You will not accidently through in a chew. You can choose to quit or choose to use. But the choice is YOURS.
Again post roll call, your promise not to use nicotine, and just concentrate on getting home without a dip. Each trigger you defeat without nicotine will make your quit strongger.

This part does F-in blow. If it weren't for how bad the first three days sucked many of us would be back on the can and quitting whenever we wanted. This first stage is a blessing that you will remember any time you think about caving.
What is stopping you from dropping by the corner store to get a can? YOU!
You make the decision to do it or not. That is all. A decision.
I also just want make sure you didn't "throw away" your can. Just make sure you have dumped it somewhere you can't reach it again.
Seriously, you don't need the fake stuff to quit. When you get it, it could help, but its merits are not agreed upon here. Regardless of what alternative you use, or if you use one, the only thing that can get you quit is that one little decision every day.
-
Ok, I will be accountable to the others on this site and myslef. I have read about roll call and understand the premise. Do I need to officially do so in a seperate thread somewhere? I read waht roll call is about and why we do it but I didnt see a place to post it.

Thanks again Steve. Your the man

Timpy
Did you post roll in February?

I am looking over the instructions on how to do it properly. I will as soon as i am confident that i can do so without looking like an ass, lol

No No.
Right now you don't need to learn how to do it properly.
Post a message in there as
Timpy- Day 1, ready.
We don't care where it is or why. You get a pass on doing it right the first few days.
Just try, we will fix it if you screw up.
Go post Roll
-
Fact is, first day post with no real connection to the site isn't going to hold the meaning necessary to keep you quit. Who cares if you break your word to a bunch of internet screen names and avatars? Create a new alias and come back with no consequence. Keep the same screen name and try again. It's that simple. Once you feel an emotional connection to the site, your roll post will hold more weight.
Right now, the thing that's going to keep you from swinging by a gas station is sheer will power. If you buy that can, you're not only increasing your risk of cancer by feeding your addiction, you are admitting to yourself that you are weak. You don't believe in yourself. You're not worth it. You are a failure. Tobacco is in control.
Post roll, and when you post roll, you are making a promise to yourself that you are going to remain nicotine free today. You deserve a healthy smile, freedom, strength. You deserve success. You are in complete control of what goes into your system. The only reason you'll remain a slave is if you choose to remain a slave. Use your balls.

Here is the version or roll call post I found the easiest versus using key combos.
1. Find the last roll call post
2. Click quote on that post in the upper right
3. On the next screen find the quote box with the other members roll call posts
4. right click in that quote box and click "select all"
5. Right click on the selected text and choose "cut"
6. Move to the upper post box that is blank, right click and select paste
7. Insert your name and quit day
8. Click "Add reply" button toward the bottom.
Try it on this message right here to get use to it. Put your name right under mine.
Magnum- 280- Quit with Timpy today!

I am looking over the instructions on how to do it properly. I will as soon as i am confident that i can do so without looking like an ass, lol
You get a hall pass on screwing up posting roll the first week or so. Just get your promise in there asap and get this quitting started!
-
I know the health risks and want to get out of it now before I really regret it. I had a gum graft in the front and consider myself lucky that is all I needed.
Next time it will be cancer not a gum craft--Post your promise!
-
I did it. At least I think that I did, lol. I am still feeling good now it hasn't hit me yet. Thanks in advance for the support.

Congrats--You made your promise! Now you have thousands of sucessful quitters to help you through!
Post roll every morning and honor your promise.
I have a one hour commute one way. When I quit 209 days ago, I came up with a plan and started changing my routines--Get seed etc for the drive home and pat yourself on the back all the way home.
When you get home park yourself on this site for more support in chat!!
Pm e if you need anything--This time is for real...
-

You got it!
Now just remember, you promised all of those quitters that you would not us it today.
Wake up first thing in the morning and promise them again for tomorrow.
-
Thanks again everyone. To be honest I hesitated at first because I didnt want to renig on my promise withthe roll call. After I collected myself I went through with it. I will repost tomorrow. My wife will be a great support as well. Thanks again everyone for the support so far. I feel a little silly for posting so much but I didn't realize how much this decision would effect me.

Timpy,
Here is how to be sucessful:
#1 Post Roll
#2 repeat number #1--laying your honor on the line daily to KTC
#3 read everything on this site--INTROS-- HOF SPECHES--everything
#4 Educate yourself
#5 Have great off site support (wife, family etc) --cry on some shoulders
I did this 209 days ago--so can you-- I did it ONE DAY AT A TIME--don't worry about tomrrow--only keep your promise to yourself and KTC TODAY!!!
-
I have been reading KLC al day at work, lol. Thanks again. The more I read here the more I see what a great, no BS, community this is.

You won't get any BS around here unless you deserve it.
Post too much?
Hah, look at the post count of many people here... we don't concern ourselves with how much someone posts.
Regardless, we can tell when someone is trying to hide from manning up and actually getting it done. You were trying, but luckily you made the right decision and now you must follow through. If I can do it, so can you.
-
That seems more than fair enough. I did man up and take the plunge and I am going to work like hell. This is the longest I have gone (minus sleep) without a dip in awhile. No real crave yet, I just feel really foggy and dazed. Thanks for your help, you seem like a good guy despite you being a redwings fan, lol. I'm a pens fan so I had to throw that in :D

Just keep your fuckin word - it's all you got around here and it will save your life, either literally or at least from a life of slavery to a can of cat turds. Understand you are an addict and read everything on this site to understand your addiction. Make quitting the number one priority in your life for now and be willing to do whatever it takes to stay quit.
Notdeadyet - 84 days of freedom after 38 years of slavery

I plan on keeping my word. My wife sent me th elink to this site today and I read it and fought with my will power for hours before I even decided to become a member. I was initially unsure that I could do it and Steve told me just to buck up and do it. I threw out the garbage and have been on here every other minute to see how others are doing and keep myself busy. The reason I waited to do a roll call is because I doubted that I could keep the promise but after I thought about it and read other peoples encouragement I realized that I had to just go with it.

Congratulations on making the decision to take your life back! Thank your wife for sending you this link. Tell her that O'le Notdeadyet said she can help your quit by:
1) Saying how proud of you she is
2) Encouraging you to stay quit when things get really tough
3) Distracting you with lots of sex
:D

That is exactly how it happened for me. At work, found site, posted, quit.
-
magnum- Its good to see that the same process worked for you. That is encouraging.
Notdeadyet - My wife is really awesome. I think that I would like a poster made of your suggestions with number 3 in enormous font, lol

Here is a little reading for those times you wonder why we advocate quitting now.
Bet you he doesn't show back up (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=5510)
Any bets this one is still using? (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=5272)
This is why you quit now!
Don't be one of these people. Grab your balls, suck it up, and stay Quit!
-

Notdeadyet - My wife is really awesome. I think that I would like a poster made of your suggestions with number 3 in enormous font, lol
Timpy - well done and welcome! Regarding number 3 below it's true. It is a fantastic distraction however I need to caution you about the side effects: babies. Ours is due April 3. I jokingly call it (him, found out couple days ago) our "quit baby".
Careful.
DennyX - 167 days quit, wife 132 days pregnant, quit with you today.

Denny,
Congrats.
But I thought one of the reasons we quit was to save money... Sounds like you had the opposite intention. :P

I wouldn't mind a kid. I could use a little hunting buddy. So I am almost through the first day now. I took like a 2 hour nap after I went grocery shopping to keep from being an asshole to my wife. We had sushi for dinner and I have been crshing food to replace the oral fixation. When I was extremely full I wanted one but took a nap instead. I still want one but the day is almost over now.

Right on!
Be prepared for tomorrow. It is going to suck beyond anything you will experience today.
This is not meant to scare you but prepare you for the upcoming assault the nic bitch is going to throw your way. Don't worry about how much you eat right now either. Staying addicted to nicotine is much worse for you than gaining a couple pounds.
Wake up and post roll!
-
I just woke up and posted roll again. I almost cave dlast night and bitched and moaned for about an hour and a half before I actuallt went to bed. I just stood staring at the bed in a fog thinking of ways I could lie to my wife and go get a can. The crave finally passed and I slept ok. Today my wife has surgery (nothing too major) and I will be alone in a waiting room for a few hours. The surgery is at 10 eastern so pray for me to stay clean.

My prayers are with you and your wife. Don't go mia while shes under the knife bro, stay strong, read the old tv guides and other shit magazines they have in the waiting room, and keep your mind off the nic bitch.

I'll say a prayer for your wife today, but definitely not for you. You don't need prayers because you posted roll call promising that you would not dip today and you will keep your word! (You fuckin better, it's all you got)

we don't pray or hope---we QUIT. You sit there in that waiting room and support your wife with NO DIP and keep your promise.
It's easy--just don't put cancer in your mouth.
-
Timpy, you posted roll so it's not even an option today. Dip tomorrow if you want but NOT today. You've taken it off the table. I'm writing at 6:56 pacific, which means you're just getting comfortable in the waiting room. Sounds like you need some phone numbers, PM me if you need one. Look forward to your reply after you get out!
-
Don't let me down. Are you a man of your word or not?

Everything went really well today. I am home and went to get subway for dinner. I have been doing better than I thought thanks to text messages from other members. I find the hardest time for me right now is right before bed and after any meal. I am keeping my word though, I posted roll so I am not going cave.

Don't be surprised if you start feeling a little better tomorrow night. I won't lie though, tomorrow could be the worst day. But I know you can do it!

Thanks again everyone! I got smashed by a monster crave after dinner and was literally going nuts. I started looking up local tobacco shops to see if any carried one of the fake snuff brands. I finally found one that had smoket mountain and I plugged the destination into the GPS. It was 7:30 eastern time and the place closed at 8. The GPS arrival time was 7:51 so I was on a mission. This short trip was one of the most rage filled, uber death wishing, curse fests of my life, lol. I got stuck behind some old lady in her v8 cadillac doing 25 in a 35 zone. I beat the shit out of the steering wheel and hurled obscenities at breakneck pace. I pulled into the lot at the worng end going the opposite way down the aisles, bee-lining it to my destination. Someone beeped at me but it didn't move my "give a shit=o=meter" one iota. I rushed through the door of the smoke shop at 7:56 (thanks granny) and encountered the woman I spoke to on the phone. I was raggedy looking and irritable to the max when I asked for the "fake dip" as I feverishly destroyed a straw between my teeth. She smirked and said, "another quit attempt?" in a sacarstic tone. I glanced up at her and fired back, "no shit, you're a genius!" She was obviously shocked and meekly said, "excue me?" I couldn't help but laugh and managed to say, "I'm not even sorry!" I quickly paid for 2 cans of straight and a can of mint and left. This stuff tricked me enough to end that craving instantly. That was how I have ended my day 2. This is rough but you guys have helped more than I ever thought a website community ever would. I really feel like I am starting to gain some ownership over this shit even though it is still way early.

Nicely done, that brought back some fond memories that I think a lot of us can relate to. Didnt move your give a shit meter? Yeah, mine is extra hard to move since I quit. I'm a better person because of it.
You can do anything for 24 hours, let's do it again tomorrow!

Day 4 is here at last. I was hit by a few craves yesterday but the enormous abundance of food, and my smokey mtn, really helped. So now the drugs are all pissed out so its jedi mind tricks from here on out. Thanks to those who helped me get this far and to Steve for convincing me to pitch my stuff in the first place. After reading the testimonials and cancer stories, I feel good to have started my quit now. At a can a day I could sense trouble coming down the pike.

I'm starting to get some physical reactions and am wondering if they are due to my quit. I have been feeling nauseated, not from turkey, and it started after I had a cup of coffee this morning. I read something about nicotine inhibiting cafffeine intake and that quitters experience a 230 percent caffeine increase after dip. Is nausea a symptom of quitting, or is it the increased shot of caffeine now that the toxins are gone?

Yes, everything I have read says to cut down on caffenine after quitting nicotine. When first quit, I cut back on my morning coffee--it seemed to help me.

Bet you he doesn't show back up (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=5510)
Any bets this one is still using? (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=5272)
This is why you quit now!
Don't be one of these people. Grab your balls, suck it up, and stay Quit!
Timpy,
I am bumping my own post because if you notice the first link here is one of the guys that promised he would be back to quit on Black Friday. It's here... no show so far.
Could have been you, great decision to dump it! I bet you feel great that you made it happen.

Thanks for posting that mag. Right on.

The old lady dragged me out for black Friday shopping. I made it through today without a crave at all. I did get queesy while shopping in the a.m. I have been using smokey mtn and it has worked wonders. My order of Hooch came in the mail today. It is pretty good as well. When I dipped my bitch free goodies I didn't feel the absolute need to. I have never had a quit like this before. I have stopped dipping before and always craved to the point of destruction but this time is like a switch went off after the drug was gone. The difference this time is that I really wanted to be over and the support from this site (texts, calls, e-mails, and literature) have made all the difference. I know that I will have craves for the rest of my life and that I should chalk today up as a really good day, but this time is different. I am actually going to win this thing.

Win one day at a time. That is all that matters. Today.

Exactly, big sky. Those are wise words. If I can win today, I have won. Tomorrow repeat, we will win one day at a time.

I am geared up for deer season this year. I have to go to work on openiong day , which blows royally, but I have other dates in mind to bag some meat. I have been lookin through this thread and all of the posts and support that have appeared here and it is an interesting ride. I would suggest to all newcomers that they start an intro thread and keep up with it for at least a couple of weeks or a month. It is amazing to read how my priorities have shifted from all about dipping, to normal things. The war never ends, but it shows that there is life after the bitch.

There is a Timpy and there is an addict. We are separating the two here.
Keep emphasizing that "you" are doing that stuff without cancer candy in your mouth. All that shit that "you" like doing, that defines you, will help you shine while the addict slips aside.
I quit with you bro.

I had a dip dream last night just as I was falling asleep. How fucked up is that? The damn thing made me crave and pissed me off royally. It was like the bitch knew I was crossing the threshold into one week and wanted to fuck it up. I threw in a wad of mint hooch and zapped that issue. I felt great this morning and even reminded some fellow quitters to post roll. Now sitting at work I was bit in the ass by another crave. This is more than I had on the third day. I am not going to cave. I am more pissed off than anything right now. I have my fake stuff with me but this is just annoying the holy shit outta me. I really needed to rant. This feels like day 2 for some fucking reason. I am having sweats, anxiety, and that pissed off feeling. I thought that once the chemical garbage was gone that my body wouldn't react this way. Some support would be great right now. I am at work until four and will have this site up the entire day.

Timpy,
This kind of stuff will come and go for the next few months.
It does get better and certainly less frequent. My worst day was day 14. I honestly almost gave up on that day because I was told that the first 3 were the worst. I had thought to myself, I guess my brain is just never going to let me feel normal.
Much to my delight sometime around about a month quit it was as if the seas had parted and I realized that my brain would again let me live a normal life without the nicotine.

Thanks. I was doing really good. I thought for sure that I was breaking throught the shit. I still have this feeling in my chest like something is squeezing my heart. I am only 26 so I know its not a heart attack. I am just fucking pissed off. I just want to scream FUCK over and over again. Being bottled up at work doesn't help at all. That bitch gave me a swift kick in the sack. I just want the feeling to end. The crave is gone but my chest is still really tight.

Don't fuck around. If you're feeling serious chest pain type stuff you should at least CALL a doctor. Don't think that just because you're 26 doesn't mean you might not have something serious going on. I had a high school classmate drop dead on the football field at 17. His heart basically exploded.
It could also be heartburn or something.
Hang in there. The worst of the crave will be behind you soon enough. Two weeks is a bitch. I had all sorts of bad ass cracves around 10-14. And then again around 20. It's been better since.
You're doing the right thing. Come here when things get rough. Don't even think of caving.
-
Chest pain is going away. I started burping and realized the shit was heartburn. WHAT THE FUCK!?! Did the crave give me heartburn or did the heartburn trigger the crave? I hate fucking nicotine. That shit just pisses me off. I can't believe I was dependant on this shit.

I had a ton of fog in the first weeks that I thought was simply related to the quit. It may have been but I realized it was also a mild headache. I started taking ibuprofen and it helped a ton. But then again I also had a patch where I had splitting headaches that were not cured by anything but time.
Things are changing, don't be surprised if you need to take some meds like that.
-
I may need to bring some heartburn meds with me or something. I think I got it from my morning coffee. I used to have no problem with the coffee but since I quit it has been kicking my ass. Now that the nic bitch is gone caffeine gets to shine through. I may have to cut that out too.

Great job Timpy!
With each passing day this shit gets easier! Just keep quitting one day at a time. Some days it feels like you take a step backwards--that's ok. All the shit you are going through is the body and mind healing from years of abuse.
Your job is take NOT use each day and just watch the healing take place--that is easy.
Pm me if you need anything

One day at a time. I gave a co-worker some Hooch today in place of his Skoal. Hopefully he will decide to join us. I showed him the site but it is up to him now. I really hope he decides to do it because it is good for him and I like the competition.

Good job, Perfesser.

TIMPY one thing I did this year since I have been quit is something that I didnt think possible, I have been deer hunting with out a LIP TURD!!! IT can be done! HAPPY HUNTING! Proud to be quit with you today!

Day 10 is right around the corner and things are looking very good. I have been resuming activities that were dip heavy and am battling to make them normal again. The soreness in my mouth is going away and I can run my tongue along my gums without tenderness. That is a wonderful feeling. My mouth is becoming human agian at last!
-
Wow, this is some old ass shit. Dug it up for posterity and what not. Read the whole thing. It is amazing how much of a fucked up asshole many of us were when we started our journey to freedom. Now we are just assholes

This is short and sweet. I quit everyday since Nov. 22, 2011 and I will continue to do so. I'm too proud and stubborn to screw up and start over. Day 1k came and went without fanfare, it is just another brick in a long road of quit that I will pave for a lifetime.

Hell of a quit you got going there. Congrats on your freedom
