Keep it up Tracker, it only gets better. Drink a ton of water and exercise as much you are able these first few weeks. If you need anything, don't hesitate to reach out. You will see that the people around here will jump at the chance to help you succeed.

Quit with you today.

Hi Tracker, I just feel sorry for people who dip when I see them (both B-inlaws do). You can only worry about yourself, so if your quit tools are strong, then so is your quit. Do you have other quitters numbers? A helpful text or shout out can be very helpful.

I can't get enough of this place! Everyone on here is just awesome! Probably a little emotional here on day 2 but reading this gets me pretty choked up. Complete strangers coming together to be there for support. Love it! Embracing day to of my quit yall, yesterday i was dealing with some serious anxiety in the morning. Didn't have a break down, just had a really tight chest and a semi panic attack when i knew i wasn't going to have a chew after a meal. This morning I got some smoky mountain to hopefully trick my brain a little.
Good luck today quit warriors! I know im gonna need it!
Tracker....

No such thing as LUCK in a quit. You control your own quit destiny brother. You've already been told/shown how by the others on this intro... wake up, piss, post roll, and HONOR YOUR WORD. If you're a man of integrity and you post your word you won't use nicotine in any form for the day and you live up to your promise, then stack enough of those promises on top of one another, YOU WILL BE QUIT!

It will suck, to be sure....even after the physical withdrawal symptoms are over (about 3-4 days), your mind will still screw with you as the millions of dopamine receptors you have built into your brain die of starvation because you're no longer feeding them their "fix" of nicotine. It will take some time, but once you come out the other side, it is SO MUCH BETTER.

Dive in headfirst. Read as much as you can on this site about nicotine addiction and how it F's with your body and brain and what you can expect in dealing with it. Knowledge is power....power to crush your addiction... start here, then find other articles that increase your knowledge. Regarding cravings, they WILL happen....fact of life. But also know that even if you think you're gonna die if you don't get another dip, nicotine withdrawal has never actually killed anyone (I don't think).... :D

Trade numbers with other quitters, especially in your quit group of Sept 16. Get to know them....they will, over time, become like an extended family to you. Lean on them when the days suck, and return the favor by supporting them when they're having a bad day as well.

This site works, but ONLY if YOU WORK IT. Nothing that's worth having comes free. Brotherhood/Sisterhood PLUS Accountability EQUALS Success. You'll never be cured from your addiction, but you can beat that sumbitch into submission on a daily basis... And I along with other quitters on this site will be there every step of the way with you.

Question for those experienced quitters... All my friends chew, my cousins, my uncle. Literally almost all the people i hang out with chew. How do you deal with that?
Just about everyone at my work chews. There is a guy right across from me that chews Grizzly wintergreen just like i did all day long. You deal with it by posting roll early and keeping that promise that you will not use.
^^^ The daily promise is #1
Here are a couple things that helped me:
1. Always have gum or candy ready, they chew, you put in a piece of gum
2. Be aware of triggers, co-workers, driving, fishing, and with that awareness be prepared for those situations
3. get on KTC, read, post, help your fellow quitters
4. learn to hate it, then when your co-workers put a chew in you will, smile and rejoice that the can doesn't own you anymore
Welcome Tracker! Get on roll and you'll start building a support network. That network will help you build up your defenses.

Yup....can't say it much better than the two badasses ahead of me. #1 defense is posting roll. #2 defense is living by it and keeping your integrity of the highest importance.

I would also recommend getting some numbers of you fellow quit group brothers. These are the guys/gals you'll be going into battle with day in and day out. Don't let them down and they'll feel compelled not to let you down. These, are the beginnings of brotherhood and by the love of god, you best begin to foster it. Like you said, you're dealing with a bonafide addiction,...not some weak-ass "habit". This addiction is as strong as that of a heroin addict and possibly tougher to break. Post roll and live by your word and you too can be just like the two badasses before me.

Taking the leap
« on: June 07, 2016, 12:11:00 PM »
Well day 1 is underway fellow quitters. You know the funny thing is... after 16 years of dipping I had myself convinced that i wasn't addicted. That I could quit whenever I wanted. An addict had to be someone that was dependent on drugs like heroin or cocaine. Truth is, us dippers aren't any better. Good luck to all, see you on the other side.
