Im a new member on hear just found the site. It is helping me cope with my urges tonight and know Im not the only one going through this..just purchases some imitation stuff from the link to help satisfy the oral fixation. Im almost done with day 3. I quit for about 4 weeks last year but gave into temptation after a few drinks. This time i am more serious. I am sick and tired of the chest pressure, indigestion, hearburn and sensation i have to burp all the time. I am a very healthy guy other than this nasty habit i picked up in the marine corps 15 years ago. Time for me to suck it up and be a real man for my wife and two babies.

Welcome BB and congrats on deciding to quit. It's hard work, but so worth it. I hit 196 today and the water is just fine.
Your first stop is to click on the welcome center link in the upper left corner, then post roll in the Pre HOF October group. If ya need some help give me a holler.
I quit with you today!
-
Welcome.
You never quit before. You just stopped for a scosh.
Also you didn't pick up a "habbit", you became a nicotine addict...we all did somewhere along the line.
Sucks, but it is what it is.
Read the welcome center tab at the top left of the screen and learn how to post role and start doing so.
Finally, you are right it is time for you to be a real man, but not for your wife and kids but for YOU.
Wife+Kids=Great motivation but ultimately whether you succeed or fail will be determined by your desire to quit for YOU.
YOU got this shit bro, WE will help.
Welcome again, and thanks for your service.

Welcome aboard please dont be a one and doner...you get up every am and give us your word that you will be nicotine free today...wake up repeat.
Diesel got all the parts of your intro that were flawed with addict speak. Also it is evident that you are weak around the NIC WHORE while you are drinking so worked into your quit plan should be to stay away from booze for awhile.
The biggest thing that helped me with my quit was admitting that I am an addict the difference between us and crack whores is the legality of the substances. You like me are no better than them. Keep that fresh in your head might help you get through the suck.
Also embrace the suck remember how you are feeling right now and tell yourself NAFAR never again for any reason....
Get to your group get numbers text people call them make yourself accountable to them and them to you.
N now I guess we have to see if you show up today to fight for your life or if you are going to lay down with the whore

OH MR BASEBALLMAN where are you your quit is waiting on you. HMMM

day 4 still feels like day 3. annoying headache after breakfast and lunch. i went for a run to try to burn it off and it worked!
Still getting the cravings but the board is right in that they only last 3 minutes. Gotta keep my mind busy and i know i am mentally stronger now. I wanna thank everyone who replied or emailed me....i feel like i dont deserve the support and attention since i do little in my life to help others. Indeed i am quitting this stuff for me and i am hoping it helps me become a better person over time.
Oh and BTW dipweasel, you are jumping to conclusions.... I own my balls not my wife and i always have.

You bet your ass I will be offended if you don't make it on here every day. At least to post role. Takes about 30 seconds.
You think you're the only one that "has a lot going on in your life"? Child, please.
Take your bullshit excuses and shove em up your ass.
Post role. Every fucking day.

I have a lot going on in my life as well. So I have no sympathy for you. Pretty lame ass excuse if you ask me to get out of posting roll. Posting roll takes what 3 minutes tops from log on to log off. I have posted roll everyday since joining, while balancing a busy life, and have remained quit one day at a time. You think because you are a busy guy your addiction is going to let up on you or cut you some slack? Good luck to you I truely hope you are successful in your quit.

Just remember we are successful quitters teaching you a proven method. Listen to all the advice and follow thru. Quit on.

Let me apologize in advance. We all have a lot going on in our lives but we are taking this quit serious. I'll bet that you were never to busy to make sure you had a can of poison. We were all the same, it's like the old camel cig commercials on tv when I was a kid "I'd walk a mile for a camel". Well I often drove over 150 miles round trip for no other reason than getting my fix. Don't be a special butterfly, get with the program and post roll every day as early as possible and don't get caught up in the excuses that the bitch will use to lead to failure. Don't be offended by my harshness I know what a battle this is and have seen many a good man with the best of intentions fall into failure. The number one reason for failure is not taking the daily promise serious and the second is alcohol use early in ones quit (just my opinion)! For the record I want you to know that there are many quitters here that will have your back if you'll reach out.

Wise words.
I also have your back.
Don't think I'm an asshole. Because I'm not.
I just go by the theory that a response like: "hey man, its ok if you don't make it in EVERY day to post role, I know you're busy, just do your best to make it in when you can..." is weak and what most guys/gals WANT to hear.
I like to think of ktc as a place where pure bluntness is the best policy. No use sugar coating stuff.
Just don't think we don't care. Its like I tell my little basketballers who get upset when I yell at them..."the minute I STOP yelling at you when you do something wrong, is when you know I don't care anymore".
I know you're not 10 and I'm not your coach, but the same principle applies. I want to see you quit more than anything. I don't wish nic addiction on my worst enemy.
You got this. No doubt in my mind. Just fucking post role every God Damn day.

In all seriousness he will alway tell you just what you need. Not what you want. But what you need to stay quit!!!

Its the addict speak that is still in your vocabulary that is what is setting people off. You will learn to recognize when you are spitting the words of an addict. You are still fresh into this quit and probably fogged out.
You must do what is the foundation of why this site works we post roll EDD every damn DAY. Just like anything when you are learning it you must get the foundation down before moving one... I assume baseball is your passion pretty sure you didnt walk out on your first day and have someone through a 100mph fast ball at you.
Also take heed to this you are coming into a weekend make sure you have numbers. Make sure you have your seeds gum whatever you use and a safety plan cause if she comes for you this weekend to reclaim her slave you gotta be ready. I would cut out the alcohol so you can be sharp and see it feel it coming.
PM me if you need digits.

Get your name on the roll everyday, as early as possible. If you can't get online to do it yourself, send a text to someone giving your word and asking them to do it for you. This is where the Brotherhood and Accountability start.
Posting roll is the foundation of Success. Don't approach it casually.

Roll is my new best friend.
Roll is my new lifeline.
Roll will help me in times of Despair.
Roll will keep me from repeating my past destruction.
Roll will teach me character and integrity I didn't know I had.
Roll is my ticket to Freedom.
Roll will save my life.
Roll is my key to quit.

Whoa, Bball man dude nice reply you are getting it. Do you have numbers if you need another PM me. Always vigilant is how you have to be. If you feel weak around large gatherings with booze go early leave soon as you feel your spidey senses tingling PROTECT your quit above everything else... It is acceptable to be selfish about it in the beginning until you develop the tools skills and numbers in your phone

Always give yourself credit for the successes because you deserve it. Quitting is really a huge accomplishment even this one day. I'm still proud each day of my win.

i was just alerted that i have been posting roll in the wrong area. oct supporters group and not quitter group? ok i will look again when i post tomorrow. this is not the most user friendly website (coming from a software guy)
anyway i wanted to say thanks again for all the encouragement. i am hanging tough and realizing some of what i was missing out on while practicing my old habits. I heard it takes 21 days to break a habit but i realize i need to work at this the rest of my life.
i wanted to share a little more about myself..im from the northwest side of chicago. grew up near elston belmont then moved to lawrence pulaski area as a teenager. the marines sent me to san diego california in 1995 and ive been here ever since.

Nice work baseballman. Yeah roll is a little confusing, but you will master it. Breaking the shackles of nicotine is definately a challenge but it can be done. You are on the right road, learn the tools, use the tools. Reach out for support. I quit with you today.

Good that you are not planning a cave, but will not is a better mindset than do not plan to... I know what you ment but it helps to fight mind games with mindsets.

Damn good point B-lo, when I went to bed I was thinking about that statement too. But I wasnt quite sure what to say about it. I did not want to discourage baseball man here.
BBM, I think what Matt is getting at here is this.
Failuring to plan is planning to fail. We have all heard that old saying, well it couldnt be more true on the subject of quitting.
You need a well thought out highly detailed quit plan. What are you gonna actively doto be CERTAIN that the poison doesnt land in you mouth again?? The craves will come, you will be tempted, you will be challenged, triggers will rock you when you least expect it.
Here is a start.
1. post roll early and keep your word
2. get numbers from your group and others
3. print, read the contract to cave, keep in wallet
4. stock up on fake, seeds, jerkey, atomic fireballs whatever
5. exercise and stay hydrated
6. reach out and make a few friends, texts are a life saver when triggers arise
7. update your intro periodically, these old addicts are anxious to help a quitter in need, and they advice they have to offer is from personal experience
8. etc
Keep up the great work BBM

BBman278, congrats on keeping the quit rolling! Over two weeks man! You are doing this!

i was just alerted that i have been posting roll in the wrong area. oct supporters group and not quitter group? ok i will look again when i post tomorrow. this is not the most user friendly website (coming from a software guy)
anyway i wanted to say thanks again for all the encouragement. i am hanging tough and realizing some of what i was missing out on while practicing my old habits. I heard it takes 21 days to break a habit but i realize i need to work at this the rest of my life.
i wanted to share a little more about myself..im from the northwest side of chicago. grew up near elston belmont then moved to lawrence pulaski area as a teenager. the marines sent me to san diego california in 1995 and ive been here ever since.

tomorrow marks the 5 week mark, 35 days clean! im realizing i dont have to be a slave to the same routine. i feel like i have more control now and its great. its all mind over matter i guess. life is whatever you make of it. i spent last week out of town with some family and old friends. there was some drinking going on but i didnt let it compromise me. there was also some smokers, one who talked about how much they wanted to quit but could never make it happen. that really made me feel strong and proud of my accomplishment. i tried to talk some motivation to that smoker and i hope it will help them. the next day i was on my own headed back home when the cravings started to hit me. my thing use to always be stick in a dip when arriving to the gate after security check. then some more cravings after my flight landed and got in my car to head home. im glad i was able to stick through it. i dont want to lie and let myself down and i dont want to let any of you down either. the stomach and chest pains are gone. i have more stamina running lifting and just feel a whole lot better in general. seems like a no brainer to stay quit. the nicotine never really made me feel good anyway, yeah i am done for good!

Looking temptation in the eyes and beating it down really strengthens a quit. Good work, man. Keep adding the +1s!

You are doing great baseballman. Day 35 is a great accomplishment. You are now starting to round that corner brother. Things will continue to get easier and easier with a few bumps in the road. When those bumps come just ride over them and keep going. Keep your head on a swivel but don't look back,, nothing back there for you. Quit with you..

Great work man, look her in the eye when you step on her throat!
I am excited because today is day 34 for me, one of the greatest NFL players ever and a Bears player at that.
Stay strong today and be the badass you can be.

You beat your airport/planeride triggers down too! Took a trip dip free once now you know you can do it again! You are winning!

Hey checking in again. Thanks it is very kind of you and everyone else on here to check in with me over personal message.
Im coming along okay. Still get cravings of course but yes my health has made a fantastic improvement. But I still need to cut some other bad habits out too. Seems like day 100 will be here before I know it. Today is day 63. I met my brother in law last weekend. He was working on remodeling someones kitchen and he had a huge dip in his lower lip. I had no desire at all to ask him for one.
-
Congrats on 63 days!!

Im back and ashamed. I had it for what seemed like a long time and now i lost it. Im so pityfull i went back and forth on the last dip in the can and ended up taking it even though i spit it out after it made me feel like shit again. Can you forgive and help me again?
My reply to zquitter:
1) What happened?
The first dip i had was around Feb 2015. I felt great from the time i quit in 2013 up to July 2014. I had a head injury July 2014, mold attack in my home. My symptoms were the urge to sneeze every day,severe sinusitis, general malaise/sick feeling, horrible headache and not sleeping much although alot of it made worse by mental stress . In Feb 2015 I started to feel much better due to removing carpet/mold, better diet,more sleep, learning to relax but still struggling with the urge to sneeze symptoms and yawning.
2) Why did it happen?
I dont know what i was thinking but i tricked myself into believing that since I felt better it was okay to take one again. Then one turned into a few times a week. And then few weeks later it was 3 times a day after each meal with a few binges of 5-6 times a day. Spiral out of control and no commitment.
3) What are you going to do different this time?
Think about my family, my age, control emotions when I am vulnerable. Dont let challenges in life that everyone faces make me cave. Remember that it never helped me at all and only made things worse.
I betrayed you, i was selfish, egotistic, cocky jerk. But i admit it and ask for forgiveness

Just putting all of this in your intro thread so it does not get lost in the shuffle or translation for you later. I look forward to seeing your day one in your new 2015 quit group.
