Title: My story on Quitting
Post by: flucky07 on May 16, 2008, 09:56:00 AM
Hopefully me writing this will help some of you trying to quit out there...Here goes...

On may 4th 2008 after getting done my last chew on a Sunday night i went in to take a leak in the bathroom. I looke in the mirror and saw a ton of tabacco in my teeth. I looked at myself and said, "god damn that is gross". So it was my last dip so far. I called my real good friend from down the street, cheewing snuff for 15 years and said I quit. (I only chewed for almost a year). He said quit what. I said snuff. I think the phone hit the floor. (He didnt believe me because softball was just starting). And that is a great time for chewin. The first night of the quit was easy, I was a little bitchy due to the fact that i knew something i liked was gone, but i digress. Monday I got up for work and didnt realize that I decided to quit. Now like everyone i always said I was gonna quit and go buy the 2 for 1 special at turkey hill. I was looking for all my dip in the morning then it dawned on me that I quit. I got angry. 'Remshot' I left for work but determined to quit I didnt stop at the turkey hill. I got to work and pulled my boss and my coworker into a meeting and explained I was going to quit if im bitchy nothing personal. They took it well. So as the day went on lunch came and that was prime time for a dipper. I skipped lunch and had no appetite. (Odd for me love food) I was starting to withdrawl pretty good and my body was pissed at me looking for the nicotine.

The drive home...

I got in the car after work and this was the real test. The drive home. Now what happened was i lost my Mac card, so i had no cash on me. Good for me cuz i couldnt stop and pick up a tin or 2. My buddy called me and said i quit too, but lets go to walmart and pick up some of the herbal stuff. Smokey mountain snuff was in my life 2 hours later. My buddy and I dumped out our full tins of chew in my front yard. It was a :( sad day but i felt good about it. I said to him you will never quit. He said watch me. We bet 1000 dollars on quitting. I was on day 1 he was on hour 4.

Next day and onÂ…

Next day i got up and it was very hard to not throw one in. I went a different way to work avoiding the Turkey hills, still without a mac card, I had lost it over the weekend (ended up to be the best thing that ever happend to me). So tuesday night came and we had a softball game. I was doing the herbal stuff occasionally, but did it heavy at softball. I was telling everyone i quit and there like you have one in now nitwit? I was like no its mint leaves...they all laughed. My buddy and I at the age of 25 (me) and my buddy (30) were chewing mint snuff. Haha unreal. Day 3 was the hardest. Body was very pissed at this point no nicotine. I said to myself if I can get past today I will be fine. I avoided the turkey hill in the morning and didnÂ’t go out for lunch. The ride home I stopped at the turkey hill starred the chew down and got a red bull. NO DIP. I was happy and called my wife to tell her. She said good job and that was it. I was much more excited. I called my buddy every morning asking him how it was going and he said very very hard. I agreed with him but we talked about how bad it was for us and helped each other. We quit together.

FutureÂ…

Its been two weeks and it has gotten much much easier. Im on a sunflower seed kick but thatÂ’s a good thing. My body changed so much in the past 2 weeks. Food tastes awesome again and my mouth doesnÂ’t hurt. No spit cans all over the place no dizzies when I put one in. I must admit when I had a couple beers I wanted to throw one in, but I didnÂ’t. I stuck to my guns and its been a great run so far. Its been easy now as I donÂ’t have my body wanting it so the withdraw calmed down to the point of non existant. I feel great and im proud of myself.

AdviceÂ…

Here is my advice to people who want to quit. The mint leaves didnÂ’t really work for me. The fake stuff was much more of a pain in the ass and made me want to stop all in all (its way to weird to swallow that stuff). Avoid going the same way to work for the first couple days. Chop up your mac card and have to order another one not carrying any money on you. No cash no snuff. Get someone to bet with you and see who can go longest. We bet 1k, and both of us still are going strong. Its really up to YOU as a person if you want to do it you can. All in all its been a rough road but one im glad I took. My body feels much better and has changed a ton. I feel great and going to continue to do what I have been doing with chew. NOTHING!

If anyone wants someone to talk to about it hit me up in email I am willing to help anyone.

I am in dire need of quitting. I have been doing so well with getting my body in shape and losing 20lbs in 6 weeks that now i must quit period. 'bang head'

Im on day 2 and i seem to be doing okay. Last night was a bi*ch as i was up every hour on the hour. Will the want to have a dip be there forever?

I have gotten tins of mint chew and that has really helped. Just feel in a very big fog and been pretty cranky.

Any support information from anyone to help?

As i have read many times on this site "Quitting is simple. Not easy, but it is simple."

You can indeed do this, it will be a battle, but its nothing many quitters before you/us haven't done before or are still battling.

Stay quit, and if you haven't yet go up to the welcome center and read read read, focus on posting roll as it is the foundation of my quit and many others. '

Excellent.. That is what it takes, the resolve to do this for ourselves. It definitely gets easier over time, but you don't need to worry about that. Just get through the day, the hour, whatever it takes. Those first few days are rough, no doubt. I don't think I slept for a week.
Read the Welcome Center infor (pink button on top left) learn why and how to post roll. You will be in the November group.
Glad to be quit with you.

Flucky, Here's a question, are you a sky diver or a bungee jumper? You say "I am in dire need of quitting", I say "I QUIT LIKE FUCK" (QLF around these parts) If you have stopped the nic, then it has already happened! Now you have to ask yourself, have you left yourself tethered to anything? Any triggers you can control left around? That sneaky can you "accidentally" left in the truck? If you have quit, the answer should be "No". Cut all ties to that addiction and jump out of a plane instead. When I quit, it was a one way trip with no possibility of return. That plane is behind me now and I'm on a wild ride with 50+ quitters as my parachute. Sound like a fun ride? Here's how to start if you haven't already.

1. Stop using all types of nicotine. No nicotine at all. THAT is the drug you are leaving behind.
2. Log into the quit group for November and post roll. This is your promise to yourself and the group that you will not use any nicotine that day. You will reach day 100 in November like the rest of us "SkyDivers". Do this as soon as you can every day. I post roll from my phone before I leave the bed in the morning on most days.
3. Keep your promise.
4. Repeat steps every day.

It's that simple. 4 steps is all it takes to stay quit forever. There are other things you can do to help make the craves a little easier but craves or no craves, these steps STOP the CAVES. As soon as you are ready, find the November 13 quit group, read the directions and post roll for the first time. You have already quit, now it's time you start living. You might as well jump out of that plane and enjoy the ride. Your plane is heading into the side of a mountain, you just don't know how much time you have.

To answer your question: No, the craves won't be there forever. Better days are coming, I guarantee that. You're gonna deal with some misery in the immediate future, but the freedom is worth the battle.

Post roll (promise not to use nic for 24 hours).
Keep your word.
Excercise.
Drink lots of water.
Get some contact information of quitters here.
Use those contacts immediately. Don't wait until the craves hit.
Reach out via PM if you need help. We're all here for you.

I would guess Flucky was a pass through quitter last time. 5 whole posts and two of them were used in this intro.

oh i know im addicted. Im not hiding that at all. 2008 was the last time i really tried to quit went over 8 months before now im done for good.
The question of the day:

Quitters find a way to quit. Cavers find a way to cave.

Which group are you in?
Speak some that Quit wood stuff 30yr... Better make the decison now cause if you wait to decide...........SNATCH.......you be gone!
Day 3!..Sure could have been 5 years but its not, and im ashamed of it. But honestly there is only one thing i can do and that is moving forward be clean. Sure the truth hurts but everyone has to start at day 1 and move from there. This time its 100% for me and my health. I have shown i can lose weight now i have to prove to myself that i can quit for good. I have lost almost 50lbs in a year and a half, Eat well, excercise daily and now dont chew. Nothing is more beneficial than thinking i am a healthy human being. Thats what i call winning.

Here is a link to your quit group. Update your daily roll call there. Get to know your group and exchange numbers for support. Post your rants, observations or questions in on your introduction page. The system works if you work the system.

Welcome to KTC.

Hey Man.... Stay strong on the quit.... you are past the first three days, so the nicotine is out of your system. From here on out it is all about the mind games. You have been kicking the shit out of your brain for ages, so it will take time. Like everyone has said here before, it is going to be a bumpy ride, so hold on tight. QUIT doesn't happen by mistake. If it did, UST would be out of business...You need to work hard and EARN it!! EMBRACE the suck... Use your resources and your support.

All of us are here to quit with you... Sounds like you are embracing so far, so keep your foot on the nic bitches throat and never let up. If she squirms, push down harder....

Good job on your roll post.. Your quit is going well. It's rough, but you can do it. 1000's have done it before you and 1000's more will do it after you.

Get to know some quitters in your group, there is a lot of bad asses in there going through the same struggles you are. Exchange numbers with some folks and this quit will become a little easier.

You mention last night all you thought about was dip,, well, prepare for a lot of the same for a few days, if not weeks. You are addicted to one of the most addictive drugs known to man and things are going be rough for a while. It will suck until it doesn't and then it won't...

Stay quit,, You got this!! Everything gets easier and after time you will kick yourself right in the ass for ever putting that filthy, addictive dirt in your pie hole. If you need some digits give me a pm.

Thanks everyone...I know its going to be a bitch to quit...but i have had it with this disgusting crap...moving on no matter how hard it is...my workouts are 2 times more intense too because i take all my anger out on the workouts....

I guess i have some depression but thats all because of what i used to do. I am trying to find things that make me happy and lower the amount of triggers for each day. Unfortunately im still using the mint leaves stuff, jakes and smokey mountain but i will get rid of that after a month or 2 as well.

Insomnia is getting better sleeping better...

You are doing great. The nic is out of your system now, Just mind games. Each time you get through one of those triggers without caving, you have gained a link in your armor. You are stronger each time. Don't even sweat the fake stuff. It will go away on its own in time. Use it for as long as it helps.
Keep up this solid quit.
I am quit with you today

Good job bro. Your doing great. Be proud, but be careful with the beers brother. Alcohol has killed many quits. Don't think for ONE SECOND you got a handle on this yet. The poison is NO JOKE and it waits for the perfect time to attack you mentally. Drinking, family problems, loneliness, tiredness, health issues and the list goes on.

You have come a long ways brother and as you know it was hard as hell getting this far. What sucks is it only takes one to put you right back at the beginning. Keep your quit close my friend. I'm quitting with you today.
