Hello, my name is Ryan Russ and I am a 33 year old married man with a child on the way. I grew up in a rural town in SW MO and now live in Kansas City, I started chewing when I was 15 years old. Skoal Long Cut anything and Copenhagen Long Cut Straight were favorites of mine. I've had a few spots, scares and close calls. I want to be a great father to my child and that can't happen if I continue to dip.
I've browsed this site for a few months and made up a few quit dates that were bull shit and I knew it. I had my last dip Sunday October 20th at 9:30 p.m. I didn't sleep hardly at all last night and day 2 is talking to me. I'm ready but I know this is gonna be an all out war.

Welcome to KTC Ryan, and welcome to the suck! It's going to take a few days for the nic to get out of your body after that my friend it's just mind games.
You need to get into your quit group and post roll. Do it every day no exceptions or this place will call you to the curb and plant a foot firm in your ass.
I am glad to see your planned quitting did not work and finally came around to actually, do it. Hit the welcome center, read up! I had this site open on my computer all day for the first month. Get into your group and get some battle buddies. I know it will seem weird at first giving your number to strangers but those guys will save your life. Soon they will be your friends, and you will be sending each other pictures of your latest shits.
Speaking of that, while your going through the suck, life is well gonna suck! Drink water drink so much you have to always piss. When craves would hit, I hit the deck and started doing push-ups, if you cant breath you cant crave.
Ill quit with you today, you got this man, One Day at A Time ODAAT...
Welcome

Ryan,
I am located in St. Louis myself, so close enough to help if you need it and there are several active people on here from the KC Area. KK already indicated that you need to prepare for the SUCK.
This is not a joke as you should know by now. Just note that you never quit before you stopped. Now this time stop stopping and just QUIT. Don't try to do this or make up any BS excuses. I will promise that this is not east. You need a friend in this and it look like another new quitter is there with you. I am there as well. I will also ask that he send you the message I sent him yesterday. It is chocked full of great links and advice.
I quit with you today,
Pinched

Thanks guys for editing that number out. I would hate for Ryan to start getting random messages from solicitors, or some of the "not right" quitters on here.

Quitting is really simple.
Read everything on here, post roll call each morning and don't dip. Wow....that sounds so easy, doesn't it?
If you read through the other intro's you may see some of my same words on them but they always hold true so I will just repeat them...
You are in for one nasty fight but you have the tools here to make it.
Go load yourself up with gum, mints, fake chew, seeds and beef jerky. Also get some member phone numbers right now, they will help you through the rough parts.
Next, exercise to exhaustion every single day and drink so much water that you feel like you may bust. Both of these will help.
Make sure your wife reads about what you are going through. 99% chance that you are going to be a short fussed dick for the next 3-4 weeks. Try not to take it out on her and the kids. Get on here and take it out on us, we will be fine.
I quit with you.

Appreciate it, I got to pick up some fake dip.
I'm guessing my sleeping patterns are gonna be jacked up? I was shakey, sweaty and weird last night in bed.

Perfectly normal bro. It's a bummer but... Your body, your mind needs to heal from the abuse tobacco has caused. I want you to, in a very sick fashion, enjoy this time! This is your body and mind healing!! It may take awhile... Everyone is different but, bro, it gets so much better. One. Day. At. A. Time.
You can do this! Pm me if you'd like another number. Rock on...

There is a lot of quit going on in Kansas City these days!
Welcome aboard. I'm from Lebanon originally, so looks like we've driven (and are driving) a lot of the same roads!
Won't repeat what everyone else has already told you, but will tell you this... you are in for one hell of a ride, and one rich reward. I've been on this site for over 300 days, and will make an observation... I have yet to see anyone hit 100 days and say "dammit, I wish I had never quit... this was a terrible decision!" Not a single one. The beginning sucks. But it is nothing you can't handle. Believe me, if I can do it, you can too.
You are going to gain a lot of money, a lot of time, you are going to lose a lot of needless worry about whether that spot on your lip is cancer, gain a lot of time not spent frantically looking for your brand at the QT, and gain a lot of pride and admiration by your family. AND YOURSELF. Because this quit is all about you.
Hit me up if you need another contact. There are a few of us in KC that meet up once in a while for a brew (you'll want to hold off on those for a few weeks) and some real BBQ. Not that St. Louis or Memphis stuff...
Rock Chalk! Congratulations on a great decision.

You know what I like to see about Jayhawk Russ? He's already active on this site and keeping us posted via his intro page.
JRuss: congrats on the addition to the family and congrats on your decision. You will be feeling better soon, but for now just get through TODAY.
See you on roll tomorrow.

Rock Chalk Buddy. I am a fellow KC quitter. One day at a time bro. I will shoot you my #.

Yeah man. My sleep patterns have been all screwed up. I had the same things you describe but now after 6 nights I just feel anxious when I first try to sleep then I wake up every hour or so.... no more sweats after night 3. Hopefully you get through the sleep problems quickly. Hit me up if you need more #s or anything else. See you at roll in the AM.

Welcome Jay. Im sorry Im late to welcoming you but here I am. I sent you my number so use it anytime you need to. Proud to be quitting with you. Keep posting roll and keeping that promise. You got this man. Reach out to Fish. Guys with close quit dates can help each other big time

Update, Day 2 night
I knew the nights would be challenging as those were my prime dip hours. Had dinner last night, got cravings so bad I had to leave the house and take the dogs on a run. This is probably the best strategy moving forward, eat dinner and then go work out.
Took me until about 4 a.m. to get comfortably asleep and not restless.
Tired and irritated today.

Welcome to the party brother, the first few days suck until they don't. I know that may seem like a bullshit answer but you will see what I mean when the time comes.
You have my number that is one of your tools, use it when you need it.
Relax today drink lots of water and find that replacement of dip that works for you. Also, remember that Fake Dip is a great solution and not cheating.

Fake dip helped me out a little (Smokey Mountain is sold at Walmart... just don't be tempted by all the real cans on the shelf). I found that sunflower seeds help me the most. Just a suggestion. Hang in there man, it's gets better. I just had my first really good nights sleep last night.

I'm going to Walmart over lunch to get prepared for tonight.
Passed on Chiefs tickets this weekend with buddies because I knew I would be drinking and they would dipping.

This is the kind of sacrifice that a real quitter makes. Proud of you JayHawk. YOu have your quit front and center. There will come a time when that won't be a big issue, but right now, recognizing the evil dip trifecta of drinking/friends that dip/football, and making the choice to stay quit is important and inspiring.
I am proud to be quit with you.
PM me if you need another number.

Went to Wal-Mart and got some Smokey Mountain, it tastes like shit, any suggestions to make it taste better?

If you got the straight or Original flavor yes it does taste like shit, I wound up adding cinnamon oil to it. Still tasted like shit but was more of a redhot flavor mixed with shit.
I should have recommended the Wintergreen, although I was not a Wintergreen dipper I found it to work best for me.

I was a skoal mint guy so the smokey mountain mint flavor really worked for me. Congrats on quittin one day at a time. Passing up Chiefs tickets is tough. But you need to focus on your quit. Booze will not help that. Stay strong bro.

Sounds like somebody reeeeeeallllly wants this. Sounds to me like you are making this quit the most important thing in your life. After time you will be around those same friends and feel sorry for them. I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to be a slave to the poison.
In time you will have the tools and knowledge to conquer this enemy everyday, no matter where you are or who your with. Good job!! Need another number let me know. Glad to be quit with you.

According to my wife...I am always weird in bed...
Man, this is one tough fight but stay active on here and you can do it.
Wow, there are a lot of KC Chickens in here now...lol...
I went through 4 cans of Smokey Mountain and never needed them again so don't worry too much about the taste. The Wintergreen was much better and I was a Cope guy so that seemed weird.
I quit with you.

I would be happy to give those tickets a home... It would be a shame for them to go to waste while we spank Cleveland this weekend (sorry Derk.)

If you read through the other intro's you may see some of my same words on them but they always hold true so I will just repeat them...
You are in for one nasty fight but you have the tools here to make it.
Go load yourself up with gum, mints, fake chew, seeds and beef jerky. Also get some member phone numbers right now, they will help you through the rough parts.
Next, exercise to exhaustion every single day and drink so much water that you feel like you may bust. Both of these will help.
Make sure your wife reads about what you are going through. 99% chance that you are going to be a short fussed dick for the next 3-4 weeks. Try not to take it out on her and the kids. Get on here and take it out on us, we will be fine.
I quit with you.
Appreciate it, I got to pick up some fake dip.
I'm guessing my sleeping patterns are gonna be jacked up? I was shakey, sweaty and weird last night in bed.
According to my wife...I am always weird in bed...
Man, this is one tough fight but stay active on here and you can do it.
Wow, there are a lot of KC Chickens in here now...lol...
I went through 4 cans of Smokey Mountain and never needed them again so don't worry too much about the taste. The Wintergreen was much better and I was a Cope guy so that seemed weird.
I quit with you.
We aren't chickens. We are Chiefs.

I would be happy to give those tickets a home... It would be a shame for them to go to waste while we spank Cleveland this weekend (sorry Derk.)
And the home of the CHIEEEEEFFFFFSSSSS!.
Day 4
I'm here, last night was a bitch. Chewed over half a can of Smokey mountain watching the world series. Did stuff around the house to help my wife for the first time in months which felt good. Sleep is still spotty at best, couldn't tell you how many times I woke up or how much sleep I actually got. Just a restless mess.
Today I'm pretty irritated and pissed off for no reason, I can't concentrate for shit.
KC Guy thanks for talking me through it last night. The waves were crashing and you kept me afloat. Appreciate it!

As screwed up as it seems... All that you're experiencing is YOU healing. Physically and mentally. Chewing did a lot of damage over time. Don't expect a quick turn around. BUT ~ each day does get better bro! My sleep was jacked for a loooong time, like, a few months. Be strong and be patient. This freedom is worth it! Rock on...

A few months of 2-3 hours of sleep? Wouldn't surprise me the way my body is reacting right now. With the baby on the way it's good practice, looking on the bright side for once.

Day 5
Still feel like shit, just bleh, got to sleep ok but woke up every 45 minutes......mouth feels weird and aches still. Exercising a lot and staying active to not focus on dipping. Future thinking is making me anxious, "how am I not going to dip watching football" or "how am I not going to dip in December for deer camp". Need to stay in the present, cuz my minds playing tricks on me.

I'd love to give you a rah rah speech about manning the fuck up and how any ass gasket can watch football without a mouth full of shit, but I can see that probably would not work here. I guess you're just gonna have to get through it buttercup. Will it be tough? Yep. Will it be as tough as you are thinking it will be? Probably not. Is it impossible and will you die? Ummm...fuck no.
Deer Camp...Not a hunter but I would imagine that's a tough one. Again, be sure to pack you nut sack for the trip and maybe some sunflower seeds or fake. This is gonna be a big trigger for you, but instead of wondering "How can I do it without dip", PREPARE yourself. Be ready for the suckiness and have the tools to battle it. For all the doubtful questions, instead of moaping in the anticipation of suck, try to embrace it and be ready for it. I know it's easy to say and hard to do, because I had similar questions myself when I quit. One thing I found was that many time the anticipation was worse than the event itself. Take this shit one day at a time and try to think more positively. Bumming yourself out before shit even goes down , is a waste of energy and just flat negative energy.
Unrelated question...Why do hunters feed deer all year only to shoot them when the calendar turns a certain date? I never got that one. Where's the sport in THAT?
Quit on...

That's what I thought...no logical answer. I ask my deer hunter friends that question all the time and they can never give me a legit answer.
I'm not anti hunting or anything. Just think that "baiting" the poor deer all year, then shooting them is WEAK.

I agree Diesel, but it is worth note that not all Deer Hunters setup feeders and all that BS. Some of us get up in trees sit for hours and never see a damned deer, but we did it willingly. Then some of us go old school and learn to track and trail deer to figure out the hot spots for them and use nature to our advantage.
I have never used a feeder and my son has bagged a deer his first two years without one as well.
Using a feeder is like shooting fish out of a barrel in my mind.

Shit, didn't even know I was being negative but you're exactly right.
I hunted for the very first time in my life this year without a dip. I am not going to lie, it was hard to climb in that stand, pull that bowstring back and tag a deer, but after the first one dropped it was much easier.
Luckily for me my deer camp was me and my 11 year old son, needless to say he didn't whip out a tin and offer me one. I suggest that you let your hunting buddies know you quit and that they are not to try and fuck that up.
They will try not to be dicks specifically but because you are different.

4 buddies who all chew, one is a dentist which tells you how addictive this shit is.
I told them all the day I quit and they respect it. Many of them have stopped and restarted deeper than they were before. I don't want to be like that.

Russ, you are doing great. You are right, that future think will freak anyone out. The only thing you need to worry about getting through it today. When those future issues finally do come around, they may not be so difficult. You will have built up a nice quit tool-bag by then, and you will get yourself prepared.
Glad to be quit with you.

I could smell some romance in there too. Don't romanticize that shit and give it undo credit. You lace a big buck and dip is just something in your mouth. Might as well be chewing on a used condom.
ANYTHING can be done without dip and be just as, if not more enjoyable.
If you find that not to be true with a certain activity, then you probably didn't like doing it anyway. You were just doing it to dip. It's true. I can't begin to tell you how many things I used to do just so I could dip.
I never liked grocery shopping. I just used to like sitting in the parking lot sucking on a turd. I used to spring out of my chair like Usain Bolt and head to the store when my wife said we were out of bread, milk, cereal, etc...
Now I say, "you best take yo ass to da sto den, biatch".
As it should be.

I never liked grocery shopping. I just used to like sitting in the parking lot sucking on a turd. I used to spring out of my chair like Usain Bolt and head to the store when my wife said we were out of bread, milk, cereal, etc...
Now I say, "you best take yo ass to da sto den, biatch".
As it should be.
Quit on...
There is absolutely romantic thoughts going on right now and thanks for calling me out on it. It's bullshit mind games and future thinking about two fucking months from now.
-
Day 5
Still feel like shit, just bleh, got to sleep ok but woke up every 45 minutes......mouth feels weird and aches still. Exercising a lot and staying active to not focus on dipping. Future thinking is making me anxious, "how am I not going to dip watching football" or "how am I not going to dip in December for deer camp". Need to stay in the present, cuz my minds playing tricks on me.
Right on track...
I'd love to give you a rah rah speech about manning the fuck up and how any ass gasket can watch football without a mouth full of shit, but I can see that probably would not work here. I guess you're just gonna have to get through it buttercup. Will it be tough? Yep. Will it be as tough as you are thinking it will be? Probably not. Is it impossible and will you die? Ummm...fuck no.
Deer Camp...Not a hunter but I would imagine that's a tough one. Again, be sure to pack you nut sack for the trip and maybe some sunflower seeds or fake. This is gonna be a big trigger for you, but instead of wondering "How can I do it without dip", PREPARE yourself. Be ready for the suckiness and have the tools to battle it. For all the doubtful questions, instead of moaping in the anticipation of suck, try to embrace it and be ready for it. I know it's easy to say and hard to do, because I had similar questions myself when I quit. One thing I found was that many time the anticipation was worse than the event itself. Take this shit one day at a time and try to think more positively. Bumming yourself out before shit even goes down , is a waste of energy and just flat negative energy.
Unrelated question...Why do hunters feed deer all year only to shoot them when the calendar turns a certain date? I never got that one. Where's the sport in THAT?
Quit on...
Shit, didn't even know I was being negative but you're exactly right.
I could smell some romance in there too. Don't romanticize that shit and give it undo credit. You lace a big buck and dip is just something in your mouth. Might as well be chewing on a used condom.
ANYTHING can be done without dip and be just as, if not more enjoyable.

Quit on...
Also never look too far ahead. We are here do quit One Day At A Time. So when you wake up and post roll, you worry about Today. It is good to prepare for Today. When you do that with seeds, trident gum, fireball and sugarfree candy, toothpicks, fake dip (smokey mountain, hooch....) seeds or whatever you may have.....remember to also prepare yourself with your KTC family here. We are in this together so reach out to those with open hands who are here to help.
If you prepare like this for Today, then whatever may happen in the future you will have this preparation done and be set to tackle whatever comes your way.
You got this .....

Oh I was just kidding. I would never call my beautiful wife a biatch. I do hate shopping though. Hahaaaa.

Bro I am anxious about my first KU hoops game without a dip. I am damn near 160 days quit too. But what I do know is that I post roll each day. I give my word not to use. And I wont use. No reason to worry about the future. Just focus on today. Quit on bad ass. Quit on.

You got the tools. You will get through it no problem.
Hey ,remember when Trey Burke hit that really long 3 pointer in the tournament last year to force OT, and Michigan beat Kansas after they had gagged on a pretty big lead. Then Michigan went on to the final four and National Title game, while Kansas and their coach who never cuts the back of his hair correctly went home with a hand full of dick?
That. Was. AWESOME!!!
I loved every second of it and jumped for joy with not a god damn thing in my mouth. No way in the world dip could have made that any sweeter.

Trey Burke and that fucking 50ft heave......unreal.
I'll be QUIT for the 2013/2014 Kansas basketball season for the first time since Paul Pierce was a freshman in 95'.

Too bad Michigan went home empty handed. Its a cool story about finishing in 2nd place. I remember KU winning the national title in 2008. Remind me again bro the last time michigan won the national title. I wont hold my breath. But hey congrats on that 2nd place finish last year. AWESOME. LOL.

Michigan won it all the year after Danny and the Miracles. Rumeal Robinson and Glen Rice.
That long ago...hard to talk smack on KU basketball.

Right. I'm sure you didn't want to see your Gay Hawks in the final 4.
Kansas Basketball. They win a title about once every 20 year? Once with Larry Brown in the late 80's, that snapped like a 40 year drought, then one in 2008? What a powerhouse. Ill still be here in 2028, so you can run smack again.
Don't even get me started on their "football" program. Didn't they lose to Rice this year? Dude, they lost to a FOOD. Oh well, I'm sure they will give Baylor a game tomorrow. Not.
Kansas sports in general = weak. Rock chalk mediocre.

Check who had the most wins in college basketball from 2000 to 2010, Kansas.
We might win it all this year, we are in the hunt every year that's what's great about our program.
Football, meh, been a rough 6-7 years. Weis is horrible.

I love this Michigan guy running smack when his team finally does something in college hoops for the first time in 20 plus years. Do you see me jumping up and down about KU's 2nd place finish to Kentucky in the 2012 title game? Nope. Why? Because I am used to KU winning year in and year out.
Get back to us Diesel when Michigan is a consistent contender in college hoops. There is a reason KU is a blue blood and Michigan is a wanna be. You started this shit talking. I think you should take your "short man's" Michigan complex into your own thread. No reason to clog up this fine Jayhawk quitters thread. Just sayin.

Kc - just wait... Next thing you know diesel is gonna type in here about how fucking awesome some Detroit BBQ place is. We gotta cut this guy some slack... He clearly wishes he were here in kc with some winning teams. And the BBQ.
Every time I turn around he's posting that picture of me again too. Clearly some kansas envy going on there.

Day 6
Got some actual sleep last night, body just crashed, still don't have any energy and my temper seems to be up and down. Bleh feeling.
Wife and I are shopping all afternoon for a crib and a stroller, this will at least keep me out of the house until tonight. Got to stay busy right now.

Too bad I'm not from here though..... I'm from Ann Arbor, a Michigan fan. I can't argue with the Kansas boys about hoops.

I got a little mild depression around day 22 and it lasted up until about day 60. It wasn't too bad but nothing excited me except the time I spent on my bike. It went away right after day 60.

Day 7
Yesterday was a battle all day long. I wanted a dip every hour, gonna stay busy with yard work today to take my mind off chewing.

I think you should shut your fucking mouth. I started this by refering to LAST YEARS tournament game and used it as an example of how not dipping did not kill the enjoyment of it. It was a little levity, that's all.
You couldn't handle it so like a typical bitch ass fan, you totally flip the subject and wax poetic about "the past" when I was just talking a little smack about last year and trying to HELP this fine quitter.
I'm not clogging up his intro. Go fuck yourself and go beat off to a picture if Fog Allen or something.

Day 8
Nothing really dramatic happening right now, craves are consistent but not like they were early on, sleep is still pretty hard to come by. The 1st weekend was tough, I think I thought about chewing every hour both Saturday and Sunday. Not using the fake much anymore, jolly ranchers or mints work fine.
Kind of been a little down and depressed the last few days. Sounds like that's pretty normal.

Yep. It is normal. So don't feel bad that you feel this way, as you are walking the same path as many quitters before you. Take comfort in know that the path has some beautiful shit at the end of it. Just keep trudging along, one step at a time. You feel like you can't go on or need a shoulder to help you walk, then come here and we will help you.
I sought the help of a professional counselor and shrink when I quit, as I fell into a dark place.
They pointed out that as silly as it sounds, that quitting an addiction like nicotine is equivalent to losing a loved one, and just like when you lose a love one GRIEF comes into play as you miss it/them. They schooled me on the five stages of grief and I was amazed at how they ran in lock step to how I was feeling:
1. Denial and Isolation
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression/sadness
5. Acceptance
I shlubbed around 1-4 for quite some time. Even when I got to #5 I would wonder back up the ladder once in a while.
Good news is that this is only a small snapshot in your life. You WILL NOT feel this way forever. I know it sucks now, but with each +1 you post, no matter how big the struggle, you are earning a small victory. Eventually those small victories add up and things will become easier and easier. I doubted this, even though many vets told me the same thing when I was where you are now. They were 100% right, and so am I.
Hang in there. Their are great things ahead, beautiful things. If I told you how great I feel to today, compared to when I was addicted to chew, you wouldn't believe me.
You got this shit. Keep grinding!

Thanks for the info Diesel as I'm feeling all of those things right now. My mind keeps repeating the same things over and over. Really, never gonna chew again? Just gonna embrace where I am right now and move on, it's fine to feel down for a while.

Just keep trudging along, one step at a time. You feel like you can't go on or need a shoulder to help you walk, then come here and we will help you.
I sought the help of a professional counselor and shrink when I quit, as I fell into a dark place.
They pointed out that as silly as it sounds, that quitting an addiction like nicotine is equivalent to losing a loved one, and just like when you lose a love one GRIEF comes into play as you miss it/them. They schooled me on the five stages of grief and I was amazed at how they ran in lock step to how I was feeling:
1. Denial and Isolation
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression/sadness
5. Acceptance
I shlubbed around 1-4 for quite some time. Even when I got to #5 I would wonder back up the ladder once in a while.
Good news is that this is only a small snapshot in your life. You WILL NOT feel this way forever. I know it sucks now, but with each +1 you post, no matter how big the struggle, you are earning a small victory. Eventually those small victories add up and things will become easier and easier. I doubted this, even though many vets told me the same thing when I was where you are now. They were 100% right, and so am I.
Hang in there. Their are great things ahead, beautiful things. If I told you how great I feel to today, compared to when I was addicted to chew, you wouldn't believe me.
You got this shit. Keep grinding!
Thanks for the info Diesel as I'm feeling all of those things right now. My mind keeps repeating the same things over and over. Really, never gonna chew again? Just gonna embrace where I am right now and move on, it's fine to feel down for a while.
Yes. FOR AWHILE. Just keep in mind, better days are ahead!!!
I promise you this!!!
If things never got better, my ass would have been out of here. But they do, so I'm still here telling you the same shit, people told me.
Hang in there, bro!

Day 8
Nothing really dramatic happening right now, craves are consistent but not like they were early on, sleep is still pretty hard to come by. The 1st weekend was tough, I think I thought about chewing every hour both Saturday and Sunday. Not using the fake much anymore, jolly ranchers or mints work fine.

That's good to hear, I want immediate satisfaction which isn't going to happen after 18 years of dependence on this shit.

In the fog of my quit I forgot to mention that my wife looked at me last night and said she was proud of me about my decision to quit dipping 7 days ago. She said our unborn child will be happy to know that his/her Dad is invested in their future. She never said anything until last night, probably because I've cried wolf on quitting a thousand times but didn't have the sack until now.
As shitty as I feel, it feels good.

6,570 days of addiction vs 8 days of freedom...let it breath, let it breath...

Bro I am anxious about my first KU hoops game without a dip. I am damn near 160 days quit too. But what I do know is that I post roll each day. I give my word not to use. And I wont use. No reason to worry about the future. Just focus on today. Quit on bad ass. Quit on.
You got the tools. You will get through it no problem.
Hey ,remember when Trey Burke hit that really long 3 pointer in the tournament last year to force OT, and Michigan beat Kansas after they had gagged on a pretty big lead. Then Michigan went on to the final four and National Title game, while Kansas and their coach who never cuts the back of his hair correctly went home with a hand full of dick?
That. Was. AWESOME!!!
I loved every second of it and jumped for joy with not a god damn thing in my mouth. No way in the world dip could have made that any sweeter.
Too bad Michigan went home empty handed. Its a cool story about finishing in 2nd place. I remember KU winning the national title in 2008. Remind me again bro the last time michigan won the national title. I wont hold my breath. But hey congrats on that 2nd place finish last year. AWESOME. LOL.
Michigan won it all the year after Danny and the Miracles. Rumeal Robinson and Glen Rice.
That long ago...hard to talk smack on KU basketball.
Right. I'm sure you didn't want to see your Gay Hawks in the final 4.
Kansas Basketball. They win a title about once every 20 year? Once with Larry Brown in the late 80's, that snapped like a 40 year drought, then one in 2008? What a powerhouse. Ill still be here in 2028, so you can run smack again.
Don't even get me started on their "football" program. Didn't they lose to Rice this year? Dude, they lost to a FOOD. Oh well, I'm sure they will give Baylor a game tomorrow. Not.
Kansas sports in general = weak. Rock chalk mediocre.
Check who had the most wins in college basketball from 2000 to 2010, Kansas.
We might win it all this year, we are in the hunt every year that's what's great about our program.
Football, meh, been a rough 6-7 years. Weis is horrible.
I love this Michigan guy running smack when his team finally does something in college hoops for the first time in 20 plus years. Do you see me jumping up and down about KU's 2nd place finish to Kentucky in the 2012 title game? Nope. Why? Because I am used to KU winning year in and year out.
Get back to us Diesel when Michigan is a consistent contender in college hoops. There is a reason KU is a blue blood and Michigan is a wanna be. You started this shit talking. I think you should take your "short man's" Michigan complex into your own thread. No reason to clog up this fine Jayhawk quitters thread. Just sayin.
I think you should shut your fucking mouth. I started this by refering to LAST YEARS tournament game and used it as an example of how not dipping did not kill the enjoyment of it. It was a little levity, that's all.
You couldn't handle it so like a typical bitch ass fan, you totally flip the subject and wax poetic about "the past" when I was just talking a little smack about last year and trying to HELP this fine quitter.
I'm not clogging up his intro. Go fuck yourself and go beat off to a picture if Fog Allen or something.
Apparently somebody is off their depression meds and is mad at the world. I love people like you that talk out of their ass about sports. Then get put in check and start with the insults. I mean seriously its a message board. Dont type shit in here you wouldnt say to someone face to face. Adios keyboard cowboy. Lol.

That's a true benefit of quitting. Not only are you proud of yourself but so is your family. Well done buddy. Keep up the great work.

I've actually been off them for close to a year, and you really didn't put me in my place, you just took it in a different direction, but whatever. And anything I say on here I would say to yours or anyone else's face. Real original with the keyboard cowboy stuff. I had never heard that before.
Depression...something Russ and a lot of quitters deal with, including myself. Definitely something to make fun of. Speaks volumes about the kind of person you are.
Stay classy bro. Thanks for the "support".

Your posts just scream classy. No one said a word about michigan and you just butted in and started talking shit. Then I talked back. I guess I wasnt supposed to. You became offended and told me to fuck off. Lol. Newslash your whole "me bad ass persona" is not working out.

Hey, I was just running a little junk about the Kansas v Michigan game LAST SEASON, as we both have avitars of the schools.
I'm not trying to convey any type of "persona", I'm just being me.
My main focus is to try and help Russ and other quitters.
Tell someone to fuck off, get in a pissing match about something, argue about sports, etc...that's guy stuff that can be squashed over a beer.
When you start making fun of a quitter for suffering through depression, like I did. That's when someones true colors come out.
I may be a supposed tough guy and "keyboard cowboy" but you will NEVER here me make fun of a quitters struggles.
That's ugly stuff bro and I don't go there. That's toothpaste you can't get back in the tube.
You don't exist to me here anymore.
Stay clear of me and I will steer clear of you.

You feel any better today Russ? You been getting any exercise or working out at all? I found that to be helpful when I was feeling like shit. The bitch loves to pick on a stationary target.
Get up and get moving if you can. If nothing else, go for a walk around the block or something. Any little bit helps!

Once a day since the day 1, no energy today and irritated as hell. Got home from work, ate a little dinner and immediately started feeling like shit. Dizzy, light headed and weird. Embrace the suck. Fuck.

Everyone looks at days like this a little differently. Personally, I'm glad it sucked like this for me, and I am glad it isn't a walk in the rose garden for you. Memories of this hell are a great motivator when times get a little easier - and they will. Healing takes a while when you break a leg - healing after years of poisoning your brain tastes some time as well.
But... The sense of satisfaction and accomplishment you are going to feel cannot even be put into words. You are doing something that only the strongest, the most determined, can achieve. The weak drop off the roll call. They go back to the can and their life of slavery. The strong earn a reward that only a fighter can comprehend. Keep pushing forward - keep reaching out - and keep focusing on one day at a time. You've got this.

Personally, I was never able to embrace the suck. I fucking hated the suck. The only question I ever had was "I feel like ass, when will I feel better??????"
I wanted to feel "normal" again and I wanted it NOW.
obviously it doesn't work that way. Instead of embracing the suck I just put my head down and kept digging.
Try to embrace the suck, but if you can't just keep grinding. Better days are ahead. The suck will get further and further in the rear view mirror. I promise.

Come on guys, this is BigRuss's intro page, stop fighting with each other on here.
I suggest you go back and delete the BS entries if that's possible.
You're right and I was this morning until it got flared up again.
Sorry Russ.
Nothing but help from me, from here on out.
No worries fellas.
You feel any better today Russ? You been getting any exercise or working out at all? I found that to be helpful when I was feeling like shit. The bitch loves to pick on a stationary target.
Get up and get moving if you can. If nothing else, go for a walk around the block or something. Any little bit helps!
Once a day since the day 1, no energy today and irritated as hell. Got home from work, ate a little dinner and immediately started feeling like shit. Dizzy, light headed and weird. Embrace the suck. Fuck.
This is the moment for you to feel proud. It is when most people put their head down and succumb to the bitch. It's when the weak are separated from the strong. Guess which one you are my friend?
Mark my words, you are about to have a lot of good days thrown in with those bad days. I have a smile on my face thinking about the freedom you are about to achieve.
You have this man.

In the fog of my quit I forgot to mention that my wife looked at me last night and said she was proud of me about my decision to quit dipping 7 days ago. She said our unborn child will be happy to know that his/her Dad is invested in their future. She never said anything until last night, probably because I've cried wolf on quitting a thousand times but didn't have the sack until now.
As shitty as I feel, it feels good.

this is good stuff. Keep up the good work. It will get just keep getting better.

Day 9
Woke up about 25 times last night, had to go to the couch because I was all over the damn place. Mouth is aching again with a dull headache, just don't feel right. I've prepared myself for 30 days of this shit. Energy level is low.
Playing ball tonight for a few hours which will be good to keep my mind off things.

A lot of quitters don't realize that they are replacing nic with sugar, soda, coffee, etc. and that their replacements are adding to the jitters/restlessness at night.
Drink lots of water, ingest ZERO caffeine after 3:00pm, and just get through TODAY.
None Today For Any Reason, One Day At A Time

I echo what minny says. Just get through today. Hour by hour or minute by minute. The lack of sleep may seem never ending. Trust me bro. Things do get better. Your sleep will return. Anything in life worth a damn is not easy. You are fighting and doing great. I quit with you brother.

Keep fighting and give a big 'Finger' to US tobacco and the nicotine that is making it hellish to quit. Better days are ahead of you if you can just push through.

As I was eating lunch today I realized something as I finished my last few bites. For the last 18 years during while eating I have been strategically planning the last bites to ensure my after meal dip tastes better. It doesn't matter what I'm eating.....fuck that's pathetic.

Haha. Yep, Nic kept us all on a very short leash. It is amazing to watch the curtain be pulled back and the ugliness of our addiction revealed.
Good job noticing, that self reflection will help you stay quit.
Quit with you today.

It's crazy the things we used to do when we were dippers. I used to put in "power dips" anytime my sports teams were in a tight game. I thought it calmed my nerves. Talk about some hilarious bull shit that was.

Stop thinking that you are quit indefinitely. Your addiction will have a lot of power if you entertain that someday you will dip. Stop thinking about that someday cave.
Post roll and promise to quit today. Whatever you face today, fight 100% all in. Don't think if you go "all in" today you will be more worn out tomorrow. Usually it gets much easier when you fight the hardest.
You are quit today and that is all that matters. Always quit on "Today's". Don't ever focus or sweat quitting on "Tomorrow's"
-
BigRuss, How's the quit going bro? Did you post roll today? I did a quick search and I am not seeing you bro. I am very interested to hear how you are doing man. CHIEFS are 9-0. Holla.

Where you at Russ? How you feeling??? Need anything, hit me up..

Day 15
Starting to feel better, sleep is a little more steady and consistent. Feel decent today.

He is perfect in this offense, his stats would have looked better yesterday if any of his receivers could catch the ball.
These two Denver/Chiefs games are gonna be fun as hell to watch.

I am thinking the chiefs and mules will split. Each team winning at home. It won't be easybbeating Peyton though. That dude is a machine.

Hello Big Russ. Proud to have a fellow Kansan quit with me. You got some really awesome guys showing you the way right now, I didn't figure you needed another. Diesel, KC Guy, Worktowin Paradigm Dawg are awesome leaders. These guys all helped me. I am at like 175 something days now. But, I also see a little bit of what I went through in your threads.
I wanted to jump in (not to take sides on the Hoops debate - I think you all know where I stand on that) but just to add some encouragement. This is going to sound shitty but take it for what it is. My fog lasted a good, solid 30 - 45 days. Yep. That's right. Sounds shitty - and a really long time. It is. It is definitely a long time. But, TRUST me - it is so worth it to sack up, deal with it and just fucking beat it (even if it is 45 days). Because once you get through - you will feel fucking awesome. You will feel physically better. You will feel mentally better. You will also feel emotionally better because this will be the first signs you see of winning this battle. Seriously, the mental aspect of it beats on you during the first part of your quit. But then, that grip finally gives up and clears up. Then you will know for sure you are winning.
I was just like you are. There wasn't much of a glimmer of good in most days that first two months. I had night sweats. I couldn't sleep. I remember writing that I was waking up at like 2, 4 and 5 on the dot every day. Don't know why, but you literally could set your watch to it.
Also, like Worktowin can attest to, I don't remember shit about May, June and even into July! It was all literally a freaking fog - as you are experiencing right now. I work in product management and I kind of need to be mentally focused on what I am doing. I remember days of staring at an e-mail for an hour and not being able to comprehend what was going on! I even changed my avatar to sum it up - Beware of the PHOG - ok, so a different kind of PHOG but fitting. Plus, dudes from Michigan just can't relate!
Anyway - here is the deal I will make with you. As sure as KU wins another Big XII title, this fog will clear up. In the very near future, you are going to realize that you are sleeping normal again. You are going to realize you haven't had a crave in a while. Your mind is repairing itself. It takes time. In the mean time - do what I did. Do what Diesel, ParadigmDawg, KC Guy, Worktowin and the others who are supporting you have done. Just go second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day until you realize that you are winning this battle.
From the sound of your thread so far, I don't think you need my advice. So, don't take it as advice - but take it for what it is, support. I have been through that fog just like these other guys. Follow us and we promise life gets way better once you beat it down. Besides, it's shitty November December weather here in Kansas - you probably don't have anything better to do anyway! Well, except watch KU dominate college hoops!

Jayhawk, I do need the advice and I appreciate it! In 18 years I haven't went two weeks without a dip....EVER. This is all brand new to me, I'm waking up on that same schedule with night sweats as well. Part of it right now, one hour at a time. Good stuff and Rock Chalk.

Jayhawk your story sounds so much like what i'm going through too- and BigRuss hang in there bro you are not alone at all- sounds so much like what i'm facing. Today I got a little fresh air but the fog overall it crazy deep at times! I"m there too, so just do this, get through today! Proud to quit with you both.

Day 17
Got frustrated and pissed off last night over absolutely nothing, wife called me out for being a dick for no reason. Apparently I've been a moody asshole for the last two weeks, need to lock it up and not take it out on my pregnant wife. I didn't even realize it, completely clueless.
I know it will get better the more days I have under my quit, still in the fog and still sleeping like ass. Fun shit.

Can't be taking your frustrations out on your poor pregnant wife. You need to check yo self on that one. Go for a walk, bust out 25 push-ups, do 100 jumping jacks, do some burpees...burpess are a mother fucker!!!
Come on here and call me an asshole, school me on all things Kansas basketball and how much better they are than U of M. I can take it. Your wife doesn't deserve it.
Things WILL get better though, I promise.

The emotional roller Coster is where this quit takes it's greatest toll. What you need to do is take a couple extra seconds to think about responses when talking to your wife. Your right,, she don't deserve it and it's great you realize this.
It was after hof that i began to gain control of my emotions. Eventually the new you will began taking over and the new you will be more in control. The new you is on it's way,, just going to take a little while to get through the door.
Take each problem one at a time. Think before you speak. Your doing great brother. Quit with you.

Day 18
The roof of my mouth has been bothering me, I'm thinking it's because I've been absolutely crushing Dakota seeds and hard candy. May need to lay off.
Had a really vivid dip dream last night, I felt like I could smell and taste it. Interesting way to start the day.

Those dreams piss me off. Funny how our minds work. I have had a half-dozen, or so of those dreams since I quit. Just had one this week. I get so pissed off during the dream! Crazy.
As I posted on another members site - celebrate the hours and minutes that you win by staying quit! Since I last posted, you have added 5 more days to your quit! Keep posting - keep quitting. Stay quit minute by minute and celebrate those small victories - you've earned them.
I didn't really have those mouth problems that I remember but, I know some others who did.
Congratulations on keeping up the quit. Nothing you do today is as important as beating that nic bitches ass again today.

Day 23
The craves are happening less but they are more intense when they occur. Thinking about dip on a regular basis still and a funk has set in. I'm not really excited about much right now, which is strange, just an overall malaise feeling.
-
First of all great job on the quit so far. I am not very far ahead of you on day 29. it is hard I know the dreams suck and they are really intense but its just that a dream. your mind is fighting you back for giving up something it wants and you have taken control of yourself again. if there is one thing you should be extremely excited about you have your life back. your health and your control over the addiction. all of this is things that should make you happy. You have your freedom and get out and enjoy life Nicotine free and see how much better you can see things clearer now that your not addicted to the Nicotine. if you need a extra push of encouragement or some help let me know.
-
Hey Big Russ i know what you mean by the malaise, i've been there a lot lately too. Strong, fast cravings too- i think it's the addiction changing tactics because what it was doing before didn't work so well any more-- so it's trying some other tricks. Hang in there and reach out if you need personal support!

Day 23
The craves are happening less but they are more intense when they occur. Thinking about dip on a regular basis still and a funk has set in. I'm not really excited about much right now, which is strange, just an overall malaise feeling.
Hey buddy, let's throw my timeline back up here and take a look.
Yep, my depression started around the same time as your's is hitting.
Guess what? It got better in a hurry and then went bye, bye...
You have got this man!!!!
Day 1-3: bad fog, my brain didn't work at all. Very little sleep and couldn't take a dump to save my life. I wanted a dip every second of each day.
Day 4-10: Pretty much out of the fog but bad, bad cravings and headache every second of the day
Day 11-14: My cruise control days, I didn't think about dipping much and craves were few and far between. Sleeping good but too much.
Day 15-21 Starting to get my energy level back up. Craves about 2-4 per day and short. The first thing every morning, I started to get an empty and sick feeling in my stomach when I thought about not being able to dip. Started losing my temper easily.
Day 22-25 No real changes, cruising along but feeling a little depressed. I started learning how to hate my addiction and was really mad about it.
Day 26- 30: Wow, I was starting to gain a lot of weight. Weird how I replaced Cope with Ice Cream and cake. I don't even eat sweets but here I am 10 lbs heavier. I don't care, I'm not dipping and the craves are mild.
Day 31-38: Freaking fog was back, some nasty craves and my temper way out of control. WTF!
Day 39-60: The roller coaster days. Mod craves followed by no craves, bad temper and mild depression. A difficult time but I was not giving up at this point.
Day 61-73: The best days by far. Seldom think about dip, temper is way better, sleeping like a normal person and just feeling pretty darn good. I am stacking up these good days to recharge my batteries and prepare for the next round of fights".
Day 74- 85: Really good days. Strong cravings when I have too many drinks so I have been careful with drinking. Normal days are now 0-1 crave. My temper has been completely under control for 2 weeks now.
Day 86-99: Zero craves, zero dip dreams and temper under control. The strong craves when I drink are also gone. I am disgusted when I see someone dip. Proudly watching my group hit HOF one at a time; which is just how we quit, one day at a time. My guard is still held high as I know the fight is far from over.
Day 100-115: I am on a high as I have reached my first goal. My guard is held the highest it has ever been in because I will not disappoint all those who have helped me.

Hey buddy . Hopefully our Jayhawks got you out of your "malaise" feeling last night. Hell of a game bud.
Stay the course on your quit. One day at a time. We all have our good days and bad days. But the thing that remains constant is we stay QLF. Great job on your quit man.

Day 28
I'm finding I'm not concentrating all day on dipping like I was last week. Boredom is the strongest trigger for craves so I've been staying busy. I'm not staring at my mouth in the mirror trying to detect where my newest cancer spot is since quitting.
I still can't sleep for shit, interrupted choppy sleep is still very present. With each day it's getting a little bit better and I gain more confidence in myself. It's a really good feeling.

Day 28
I'm finding I'm not concentrating all day on dipping like I was last week. Boredom is the strongest trigger for craves so I've been staying busy. I'm not staring at my mouth in the mirror trying to detect where my newest cancer spot is since quitting.
I still can't sleep for shit, interrupted choppy sleep is still very present. With each day it's getting a little bit better and I gain more confidence in myself. It's a really good feeling.
You are winning bro. Each day is another W. Scoreboard nic bitch.
x2 Just win today. You don't think about doing this for life or even tomorrow. Today is the day you quit. Win today. The past is over, live today for a better tomorrow, but never sweat or think about being quit tomorrow. Only quit when its "Today" for you.

Day 30
Feeling depressed, pissed off and pretty frustrated the last two days. Tired of feeling like shit, tired of not sleeping, tired of thinking about chew, tired of seeds and candy, just fucking irritated. Feels like Im on a roller coaster of emotions right now.

What you are experiencing is natural. There will be days sometimes even consecutive days that just flat suck ass.
It may sound like total BS but it really does get better. Celebrate the fact that you are one month in and find a positive to focus on like your breath doesn't smell like a litter box.
I quit with you today bro,

Hey BigRuss according to your quit group you have missed roll a few days in a row now. I know things are tough playa but posting roll will make your quit easier. Great job on what you have done so far buddy. Get in here and post some roll now. One day at a time.

These are the days that separate the men from the boys... the women from the girls. Quittin is not ez and you flat out got to want it more than anything. Remember why you are here... do you want to go back to being a slave to nicotine? These are the days you can do just one thing... buckle down power thru. Use your tools and just stay quit.
Every person on this site has been there. Every one of us. We know it sucks. We know it is hard. We also know that you can get thru this. We also know that life gets better.
You will not be fixed overnight here. Years of abuse to your body requires time for healing. I can tell you that for me I am a totally different person compared to when I was 30 days quit and now at 150 days quit. Brother, hold the line. Stay quit. That light at the end of the tunnel is not a train... it is freedom! QLF today!!

Let's take a look at my timeline again and check your progress.
Yep, you are right on target and you are not that far from really kicking this thing.
Day 31-38: Freaking fog was back, some nasty craves and my temper way out of control. WTF!
Day 39-60: The roller coaster days. Mod craves followed by no craves, bad temper and mild depression. A difficult time but I was not giving up at this point.

Brettles brought that to my attention a few days ago about roll, I saw my name on there and then it was gone. I have had problems with my laptop from work being infected with malware, I'm double checking from now on. Thanks for the timeline as it reminds me that I'm not slowly going insane or that I need to enroll in anger management courses.

BIG JAYHAWK RUSS!! You just keep your head down, keep quitting and trust us on this. You are about to break through this bitch!!!!
The funny thing is, it is not going to be a loud, noticeable or dramatic breakthrough. You are on the verge of it - things are going to start getting better.
But it will slowly happen. One day you are going to realize, shit I haven't been irritable, I haven't had any craves, I feel........ normal?
Yep, the roller coaster is different for all of us, but as far as I can tell, those of us who hung on and kept on going just sort of realized one day that all that shit was gone. Or at least substantially reduced.
I got faith in you man. You will breakthrough. Just keep quitting - it really is that easy. Keep on going brother - you have us all backing you and cheering you on. Quit every day, one day at a time. Don't worry about when you break out of this funk, but just remember when you realize you have busted out of it - your bros here at KTC told you so!!!
Proud to quit with you today.

Update: Day 46
PD, I look at your timeline on a consistent basis for a guide as my quit progresses. It has been tremendously helpful, thank you.
I get on here and read some of the intros from the Noob's and realize how miserable that first 30 days is.....holy shit that was rough. Minute to minute, hour to hour rough and I'm thankful for it.
I still have bad days, fog, the fuck its, mild depression and I still can't sleep for shit. I've gained a little weight and my anxiety spikes but I feel 1,000 times better than when I was chewing a can and a half a day. Worrying about my next dip, a spot, a sore, a feeling, my teeth, gums....cancer.
All of these things are symptoms of a habit and lifestyle that I eliminated from my life when I joined this site. Damn proud and glad I did.

Half way to HOF today, right! Soak it in, think of all the fog and stumbling around you've been through. Never again! All you gotta do is start win this day. Been a pleasure knowing your hitting some of the same walls when I do because you can relate, and knowing you are in my corner. One more day today I quit with you.

Brettlees, you are the man, you have gone and are going through some serious shit and you haven't waivered. I'll quit with you any time pal. Thank you for your support, wouldn't want to do it without you.
