Today is my 46th Birthday. I found this site last night and read through some of the stuff on it. For my Birthday, my wife and my children I am done wasting money, endangering my health and pissing off my wife and kids. I've tried to quit numerous time or "cut back" on chewing but know is the time. I'm tired of chewing and ready to quit.

Good choice. SMART choice.
First, read about posting roll and go do it. That means that you will have promised to not use nicotine of any sort for the rest of the day.
Next, make sure that you have dumped and flushed ALL your cans...including that hidden one of month old crumbs you might try to lick when the craving gets bad. Some might say to do this before postin roll, I say no as I want the promise before you touch another can.
Now, READ READ READ READ READ this site...hall of fame speeches, introductions, roll posts for May, April and pick another older group and read them from day 1 through today - I'm partial to June 2010...
Get numbers of others to help you maintain your quit. Ask for help when you need it and STAY ACTIVE on this site...it will help increase your level of success.

So in the middle of day I'm sitting at my desk and I remember I dumped a 1/4 of a tin in my garbage can. I didn't even look at the can and thought "I DON'T WANT IT". I had also forgot we had taken all the garbage out earlier. I keep thinking 1 day at a time. I keep reading different threads and stories on this site that sound exactly like what I was living hiding. I'm glad I found this site and thanks to the people who have messaged encouragement and direction regarding posting roll (I think I got it now). I can get through the rest of today, bring on tomorrow.

That's the shit, right there! Finish off the day you've promised to remain quit, then post roll and repeat! You need anything, just shout

Hang in there, and reach out if you need to. Keep fighting, your life depends on it.

I'm good to get through the night. I'll fight the battle again tomorrow. Day 3.
-
Sitting in a 3 hour online presentation. This ought to be a challenge. Typically I would chew my way through it. I'm gonna work the gum over good for the next couple hours.
-
Keep battling CMH. If it gets to that point, we're here for you.

Got through my online meeting today with no issues but then the boss buys pizza for lunch. You know what goes good after pizza and a coke for lunch. I thought about it and read some post on KTC and made it through the rest of the day and the drive home. Now I'm waiting for my daughter to get dropped off at her school after basketball. Last week I did the same thing while chewing because there was no one around to bitch at me about it, tonight I'm doing this instead. I pledged to be clean today I will stand by my pledge. She's tempting but FUCK OFF!!!!!

That's good shit right there. It is as simple as ignoring the nic whore. It's not easy . . . But it is simple. Well done,CMH17

Here's today's dilemma on day 4 of my quit and my plan: Snowstorm, hour and a half commute home will probably take 3 hours, will have to piss at the oasis, will walk past the chew rack, continue my commute. stop at Walmart (hope the one I go to has Smokey Mountain otherwise it's gonna be seeds), get home, clean driveway, have a beer, get back on KTC to see what's happening. No Temptation this ride home!!!!!
-
Keep fighting. One day at a time. Might want to think about skipping the beer for a bit. Solidify the early stages of being quit and not add any other obstacles.
If you don't want to go to slip, don't go to slippery places. Kind of fits given the weather as well.

Day 25 of my quit. Another long drive home with snow. No issues, no real craves lately. I got a good idea of what most of my triggers are. Some I have met and conquered that day, some I have not met yet. When I stop at stores now I see her in the rack and I give her one of these 'Finger' . I tried seeds gum and a variety of fake stuff. I like the Smokey Mountain Wintergreen the best. If you use this you'll notice they keep it in the rack by her. Recently I went to get some Smokey and asked for a tin at the counter, The lady grabbed the 1st tin out of the Smokey Mountain box and gave it to me. I almost put it in my pocket with out looking. Turns out it was a tin of Longhorn Wintergreen. I gave it back to the lady. See, she's a sneaky bitch but I'll keep fighting her one day at a time. Like the last time, NO TEMPTATIONS THIS RIDE HOME!!!!!!

Day 42 - Good weekend, 80s and sunny Sat Sun (Great for Northern IL this time of year), wife's birthday, softball practice outside for my girls, some late winter / early spring lawn work. Typically I would have been chewing during my girls practices and working outside. I've been using Smokey Mountain Wintergreen to take care of any kind of craves or if I just want one. My wife actually says it makes my breath smell better. Feel pretty good with where I am at with my quit right now. I admit I still enjoy chewing (Smokey Mt.) and do not miss the Skoal.
This site has made me more aware of caves and I see they can happen to anyone. In my 42 days on this site I've seen guys cave after a couple days and I've seen guys cave after years. I've seen people come back, get their verbal spanking, and then a kinda tough love welcome back. Those are some of the stories that enhance the quit I'm trying to attain.
Day 42 - I quit for the rest of today!!!

That being the case, please check and fix your bumps. You bumped 3 dedicated quitters from our roll today, and they take their quits and posts equally seriously.
