Hey everyone. My name is Dave I am 27 turning 28 at the end of the month. I've been dipping since I was 12 so almost 16 years. I was about a can a day. I decided that I wanted to be around a little longer in life so I quit cold turkey 2 days ago. I am also on a recently started diet so I am really struggling but I haven't slipped yet. I'm using chewing gum to try and subside the cravings especially after I eat and when I drink alcohol. I am gonna give it my all and pray I don't slip. I work in a machine shop as a supervisor and deal with high stress and everyone around me dips so this is gonna be hard. I've tried to quit a few times and failed.

Bad ass man. That's the way. Decide... and DO! Find your new quit family in Sept '14... post roll with them everyday... it's your promise to be clean... just for today. Tomorrow we'll repeat the process.
Couple tips... lay off the booze for awhile. It's the biggest quit killer out there by far. Also... own it. Don't hope... don't try... don't approach this quit with anythng less than 100% resolve. You HAVE quit... you ARE done.
Welcome in...

Thanks AppleJack I am definitely giving it my all and I know this site will help me to keep at it.

"Haven't slipped yet" - Are you expecting to?
"give it my all"
"pray I don't slip"
"I've tried to quit a few times and failed"
Welcome. Wow, you're the first person I've ever met with a high stress job. What's that like? Look, Sally, your fate is in your hands. Do this or don't. Don't tell me about hope, trying, and praying. That's horseshit.
YOU read everything here starting in the welcome center. Then YOU get to the September 2014 group and add your name to roll every day. Then YOU honor your word all day. It's quite simple, but it comes down to YOU and if [b[]YOU[/b] really want this more than anything else.

Glad to have you BT. Quitting is hard, but you're already almost thru the worst of it. After 72 hours, the nic is out of your system and then it's head games from there on out. Remember the suck. You never want to go thru it again and the only way to do that is stay quit today. Wake up and repeat. You can might hope WILL do this.
Listen to all the vets posting here. Soak up every bit you can, they speaketh the truth. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Dave good luck. Quitting dipping is a real challenge but one you can accomplish. Especially here where it's one day at a time. Although I totally encourage a healthy lifestyle. I would caution about a strict diet and quitting dipping at the same tiome. Give yourself 100 days to get you dip quit under cvontrol then hit the diet. You can always use exercise right from the start of your quit. But I worry that falling off a diet can lead to falling off your quit. Might be just me.

Exactly.......
Ultimately it is on you.....but we will definitely help.
Welcome.
Post up and quit

Thanks guys you are absolutely right. I am talking like I expect failure and I don't. I will as the saying goes "nut up". Yet I will also continue to pray because I love my god and I know he directed me to this site so I can have a support system. I look forward to continuing to be quit with all of you and I will continue to post role call and honor that pledge.
-
Bigton, I second the motion about not dieting during your quit, make your quit #1 for the next few months. Just some friendly advice brother, let's see you on roll!
-
You will not fail as long as you are a man of your word. Are you a man of your word? Give it to us every damn morning, one day at a time.

Grizzly I am most definitely a man of my word. I posted roll again and plan on staying quit for good. Yesterday was a tough day 3 at work. People thought it would be fun to screw with me. Pulling their dip out and putting it in in front of me then asking if I wanted some. Telling me quitters are b itches and nobody likes quitters. I just want you all to know that yes that was hard as hell to resist but I did because I am a man of my word and when I post roll I intend to keep my promise and not trample all over the ideals that this site was founded on!!

Soon, you will understand a couple of things differently. The first will be that "other people's dip" during times you most used the nic bitch will be the least difficult times. Your guard will be up. You will prepare your mind for those moments. You will have built a mindset for those times. The co-workers or friends that have been talking shit about your quit are what I call "haters". Misery needs company. They too sit home at night when no one is around to hear their quit jokes and hope that someday they will have the balls that you have. Dont even fuckin listen to the "you cant quit" bullshit. Believe me I dipped a can and about 5-8 cigs a day and I am quit. There are others on here that used 2-3 cans a day and they are quit. No excuses. Quit like fuck. Have a good day. Out.

Someone in the Sept Sultans roll board posted about people trying to get you to dip when you are on your quit. The suggestion was to take their can and dump it right in front of them.
I'm lucky in that I don't have people flaunting it in my face like that. But I'm sure if you dump their can you'd be making a point and people would stop razing you about it. Seriously, screw them.
Good on you brother. Stay strong, stay quit and keep posting roll.
PM'ed you my number. Please use it if you need to.

^^^^ Ditto and Ditto Sixer's as well. Fuck those guys bro, you don't need that shit. Bring a picture of Sean Marsee tomorrow with you to work and when they start flapping their gums that may or may not be full of cancer show them that picture and tell them that they might be ok with that happening to them, but that you had the balls to do something about it before it happened.
Hold that quit tight BT, and nobody, and I mean fucking nobody taints the pool of your quit.
QLF with you today.

Haaaa. Every dipper I've known, and I've known a few, wants to quit. You being quit just shows them how weak they are. Keep your head up brutha. We all know who the bitch is in your scenario

Well I earlier posted in my September HOF forum about how bad my day 5 was going. I figured I would post a little about it in here so when I finally reach the HOF with all my Sultan brothers I can look back and know the shit I had to go through to begin to break the addictive grip the nic bitch has on me. Today was by far my worst day in 5 days. I have had the worst headache of my life, my heart keeps feeling as if it will explode, my throat feels raw, diarrhea and nauseous, can't eat anything and just horrible pains in my body. I take some excedrine and hit the fake dip and it helps a little. But it just keeps coming back. Some of my brothers took time from their busy day to lend me words of encouragement and remind me of the promise I make everyday when I sign roll. You men are and I'm sure will continue to be my saviors. As long as you keep my back I will have your back and you will continue to have my word everyday when I sign roll call. DipDaps, spitstickler, JayDubya and Evil_Won as well as others that I just haven't mentioned (no less important of brothers mind you) I know I can count on you and I've heard your words today and I will remember them. Accountability+Brotherhood= SUCCESS!

Well today is day 10 of being QLF. It has been a very SHITTY road so far but I must say I feel awesome to know that I am regaining slowly some of the hold the nic bitch has over me. I have been battling a bad case of strep throat mixed with a sinus infection and some serious chest congestion for the last 5 days and I'm on antibiotics and steroids and like 3 other otc drugs to try and kick it. This sickness has actually been a great help bc I haven't even had a crave in a few days bc I've been so miserable. I have been posting roll everyday and promising to be nic free one day at a time. I can do this odaat with all of you. This site and all my brothers and sisters on here are amazing lifelines and I'm so happy to be a part of it. I can only hope that odaat I will make it to the 3300 day mark like the BAD-ASS Loot!

Your worth every second of it my friend. I felt like you for about 3 to 4 weeks, but the trick is just worry about today. The emotional roller coaster is rough bigton , but there is some things to do to make it easier. If you haven't, fill that head with some quit knowledge. Get to know your enemy, it knows you. Read everything you can get a hold of on nicotine/addiction. Knowledge will build hate and hate will feed your quit.
Your making your way to a door. This door is hard to get to and open, but with accountability, determination, drive and integrity you will make it. Keep your head pointed towards the door. 9 days are in the bag and if you can make it 9 you can damn sure make it 10. Need anything let me know. Quit with you today.

Thank you for the words. I spend as much time as I can on KTC because this site is such an amazing resource if used properly. I am working on forming brotherhoods that can last a lifetime. I will definitely keep my head up and body nic free.

Well I am sitting here getting ready for bed and felt like I should throw a little update in. I am officially on day 11 of my QUIT. I have already posted roll and reached out to a few newbies and not so noobs as well. I feel great today. I am still battling through my going on 6 day bout with a horrible case of strep throat and a severe sinus infection together but I am getting better. I have always thought that god works in mysterious ways and making me this sick early in my quit actually helped a lot because I kept thinking of how miserable I felt because of it instead of how bad I wanted dip. I got home from work today and found a package in the mail from SKOAL. I thought I might handle it differently but it was actually really easy. I picked it up and looked at it. I laughed really loud and said FUCK YOU NIC BITCH NICE TRY!!! Then I tore it in half and threw it in the trash. One day at a time I continue to fight and clearly right now I still have the upper hand. Thanks to a lot of the cavers that are coming back because they reinforce the fact that you can never do just one. 1 problem + Nicotine= 2 problems. Today I QUIT for me.. Everyday I will continue to QUIT for ME.. I will save my own life!!!

Proud to be a Sultan with you, dude. I quit with you today, tomorrow, for LIFE.

BT,
Its funny you said that. I received my gift from the nic bitch via Copenhagen today. My monthly bunch of coupons. Im sure somewhere on here somebody has recommended going on the poison sites and unsubscribing to them.
Anyway, I too, chuckled and tore them in half and tossed them in the trash. Im on Day 7 and feeling strong.
Im diggin your quit.
Peace

I suppose it is time for a little rant.
Every damn day for the past 28 days I have been on KTC as early as I possible can to post ROLL. My promise to myself and all of you brothers and sisters that I will not use nicotine in any way shape or form that day. I don't understand what in the hell is so hard about posting roll. That is the cornerstone of this damn site. It seems like everyday there is a new member of my quit group added to the list of assholes that feel they don't need to post roll EDD. If you miss it once and have a good damn excuse then fine. When you are consistently missing days then its time for you to shut the hell up, tell the group your a pussy and leave. Go post at Lite because we don't have time to care more about you and your damn "quit" than you do. We don't accept your half ass quit. Which brings me to my second nerve. If you are texting your roll in every day and you haven't logged on to the site in days then TO HELL WITH YOU. I am glad your getting your name on roll. However, you are not here reading to strengthen your quit. You are not helping that brother or sister in need or welcoming the new guy to the group and trying to give him some advice. You aren't going into other groups or new groups and posting and offering words of wisdom or reading words of wisdom. STOP HALF ASSING YOUR DAMN QUIT. If your life and your quit mean more to me than they do to you then GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE.

Hang in there BigTon. It is frustrating. I got your back.
I figure the Tony Gwynn syndrome has worn off on some of our group and they're starting to get complacent.

Excellent rant. I agree 100%.

Well here I go again! Lately everyday I log on this site I get a little more annoyed with certain things. It seems like everyday there is at least one more person that had excuses and is trying to justify why they can't post roll everyday! BULLSHIT! ! Get your ass in here and post roll or text a brother or sister to post for you. Also, everyday I see another serial caver popping up in a new group posting day 1 and running away before they answer for what they did. Then if they do finally decide to answer they give half ass answers and get pissed off when they get called out. You fucked up so shut up and take the shit storm you have earned. You are trying to get accepted into a group of serious folks and lashing out is not the proper way to do that. If you were interviewing for a dream job and the employer called you out for having a lack of experience in the field would you tell them to fuck off and kiss your ass because they need you? No, you would shut the hell up and take it so you don't fuck it up.
My biggest peeve lately makes me want to lash out at people. I am very frustrated when I see someone post a new day 1 in intro ' s or in a quit group and nobody reaches out to them. If anyone does reach out to them it's the same couple members of the group that reach out every time. Every member of a quit group needs to remember they are a GROUP and EVERYONE should be reaching out to new members to welcome them and help them through the first few days. Remember how much people helped you in the beginning and pay it forward. On the same note, when a serial caver or someone who wronged your group or another group pops in then hold them accountable. There are some people vets and new quitters alike that are getting entirely too damn soft. Accountability is what makes this site work so don't coddle and damn sure don't ignore people that need a lesson in it. Especially if it gets pointed out and the person who pointed it out is constantly bumping it up because nobody is addressing the issue. PROTECT YOUR QUIT AND PROTECT YOUR QUIT GROUP!

Well here I go again! Lately everyday I log on this site I get a little more annoyed with certain things. It seems like everyday there is at least one more person that had excuses and is trying to justify why they can't post roll everyday! BULLSHIT! ! Get your ass in here and post roll or text a brother or sister to post for you. Also, everyday I see another serial caver popping up in a new group posting day 1 and running away before they answer for what they did. Then if they do finally decide to answer they give half ass answers and get pissed off when they get called out. You fucked up so shut up and take the shit storm you have earned. You are trying to get accepted into a group of serious folks and lashing out is not the proper way to do that. If you were interviewing for a dream job and the employer called you out for having a lack of experience in the field would you tell them to fuck off and kiss your ass because they need you? No, you would shut the hell up and take it so you don't fuck it up.
My biggest peeve lately makes me want to lash out at people. I am very frustrated when I see someone post a new day 1 in intro ' s or in a quit group and nobody reaches out to them. If anyone does reach out to them it's the same couple members of the group that reach out every time.

Your nic rage means you are healing, and your passion means you are in this hardcore. Great post, and damn proud to be quit with you today.

Yep, Bigton is a quitter. Let the weak and useless ones make you stronger! You are not like them.

Good stuff. I like how you think. I think that you'll find that the half assed quitters will fade away gradually.
Stay focused.

Thanks for all the positive words! I really am treating this quit like a life or death situation because, well, that's what it is! Half ass people are getting under my skin. Glad to feel the support in here and know that I am not the only one who thinks this stuff!

I think the stats are there are roughly 100 quitters that start a HoF period, and there will be 40 left quit at the end (that post daily). I am in that 40%, the bad asses before us posting in your thread are in that 40%. Don't sweat the 60% that can't make the cut, and focus on being in your 40%.

Well, I am closing in soon on the 50 day mark. I feel great and have been feeling great for a little while. I definitely hit a huge funk at the 30 day mark. I believe however that another funk is upon me. I wouldn't have recognized it had it not been for me reading what all the vets have written on the site. I keep hearing this little voice in my head telling me that I've got this shit kicked and I don't need to waste my time logging on and posting roll everyday. It tells me that I don't need to check up on October to see how things are going for them because they don't need me there. I hear it plain as day saying you are ready to do this on your own. You got what you needed now leave the rest and quit wasting your time.
Well I know it's the cold hearted nic bitch whispering those sweet nothings in my head and I don't plan on listening. I know she is a lying and treacherous little bitch. Thank you to all the vets who posted and gave me the knowledge to know how she attacks and the tools to fight her.

Days 50-100 can be some of the hardest days. As a group the Titans will witness epic caves, members falling from roll like they have no feet, and Titans will see others pass the 100 day count while the anxiously await their turn, or they hit the HOF and wait for "what is next".
I can say that I suffered many of these and being a brother from October 2013 we saw all of the above, but the core group of us still exist here and still post roll because we have learned that it is an easy 5 second defense against the Nic Bitch and Big Tobacco and all of their little whispering lies.
Be strong, keep on doing as you are with the journal and identifying all of the little secrets that you are being whispered. Your brain is still rewiring as is mine.

it is cyclic with each group, don't know why other than those who just don't reach out during the toughest times, or for those who just don't want it enough, as Oct 12 was the same as Oct13 and will most likely be the same for what you and your group will go through.
Best way to keep it even keel, is to keep giving your word and honoring it, keep making the contact and connection with those you have the numbers for, even if just to say hi, and look around to absorb as much information as you can to keep your tools sharp.
be good brother, you are doing this

Today marked 1 year since Cancer stole my mother away from me. It was a hard day. I was on my way to work thinking about my mom and how much I miss her. I was thinking about my dad and how he is on hospice, battling liver cancer, and closing in on his final days soon. I walked into the convenience store to get a couple bottles of tea and a bag of cracked pepper sunflower seeds when the nic bitch crept up on me. I was standing in line behind about 5 people. 3 of them bought cigarettes and 2 bought dip. I saw a sign that was advertising Copenhagen and thought to myself " god that looks delicious". In my head I heard her telling me that it's just a can and nobody will ever know. I placed my things on the counter and kept staring at the sign. The cashier saw what I was looking at and asked if I wanted a can. I thought about it for a second and said no thank you.
Moral of the story is that I'm roughly 10 days away from the HOF and there is no way that bitch is getting me back. I have stood back to back with my brothers and sisters in the Sultan's of Quit and I will not let them down. I don't think I will ever be free of the occasional funk but I will always have the family on ktc.

Good job. Never ever doubt your decision to quit. You obviously know that it was the correct decision. I quit with you today.
