Go Dogs, Welcome to the titans! I'm only 5 days quit, but if I could give any advice this early in the stage it would be to stay patient. I was a can of cope a day for 20 years and after day two I didn't think I would make it, day three and four were brutal. I must read 3-4 hours of posts a day on here and it really helps. If you keep reading you will come across that one post you needed to get you through the next hour or it may get you through the entire day. Today is the first time I've actually felt some of the fog being lifted away and I'm starting to feel pretty good. Hope this helps. PM me if you need any help getting through the next couple days.

GoDogs, re-read what pinched just posted, post roll, and get after this. The freedom from dip is amazing, but we need your promise that you will not use nicotine today.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Hey all,

My name is Matt and quite frankly, I am sick and tired of being controlled by Copenhagen. I have a great wife and two boys (ages 7  1) and I cant stand that I put my addiction above their need for a father and husband. I have been dipping for 7 years now and have come to a point where I HAVE to stop! I am so glad I found this site because I know that accountability is imperative if I want to have a successful quit!

Look forward to meeting you all!
Go Dogs,
Welcome to KTC. you will find that there is lots of useful information here to help you break the chains of addiction, but you need to want to do this all for yourself. I thought I would offer you some direct links to items to help speed and ease your searches.

Welcome to KTC, you appear to have your mind made up to quit for you. If I may add a couple of things that in my opinion can make or break your quit (all items below with underlined words are links to different areas on KTC or referenced, all safe)

1. Your spouse, well her support is critical and she deserves to understand more what you are going through, so see the following link and hell print it or e-mail it to her to read Spousal Support

2. Read this for yourself to make sure you fully know what to expect What to expect when you quit; some days are better then others, then eventually all days are better

3. Read the stories on here at KTC, the Kern story is a tear jerker and though you want to be around for your kids this will reinforce it dramatically, Kern's Story; then there are these words spoken by a man who lost his brother to this stupid shit Sean Marsee, damn I wish he would have talked at my middle school.

4. Find an alternative and keep it on you at all times. There will be times when going to the Convenience Store and getting a soda or anything else can cause one lapse in judgment and lead to a huge mistake. Don't be that guy, be the guy with Testicular Fortitude.

5. Find a couple of other quitters and exchange numbers with them, if you need another please PM me and let's do this.

6. Remember that you are an addict, 100 days is a milestone not a goal; the goal is a lifetime being free from the nic bitch. Get pissed off at big tobacco and the dangers they put you in.

7. Remember that you are the one who caused you to be an addict, so don't let anger get outside of your control. It is no one else's fault that you got here. Your family will only support you if you are not an asshole.

8. Drink lots of water, may also consider changing your eating lifestyle/diet, shit changes after the weed is out of your system. Exercise is also a huge help.

Now, learn How to post roll, then go post roll with your fellow Titans - Pre HOF October 2014

If there is anything I can do to assist you further, please feel free to send me a PM and let me help you.
