Been struggling alone to quit for some time, time to be accountable

[pab1964]

Hey how's the quit going? Post some reports in here so we can support you and hold you accountable. It'll help build a string quit.

Didnt post since I broke this weekend while playing golf. Felt shitty the whole time and definitely regretted it. Certain activities and hobbies just build the craving so much, and I obviously need to build some Will Power to make it through the early stages of quitting. Without having anyone personally to help with this process (Live with parents, who actually have no idea Ive ever dipped), how have yall broken through the early days of quitting?

Well... that was pathetically quick.

What'd you last?... all of 2 or 3 days?

Geez, dude.

Sac. Up.

That's the answer to your "how do you get through it" question.

Sac. Up.

Decide that you want this and then own that decision. There is no magic formula other than NOT putting that shit in your face ever again! How bad do you really want this? It's no game... it's no "try and try again" method....this is your life. How do you know that the next fatty you throw in your face isn't the one that tips the scales... changing healthy tissue to cancerous mess?

Sac. Up.

Do. This.

That is terrible! We have all the tools, but you choose not to use them.
Come back in 5 years when you are ready.

I dipped for 35 years and tried to quit several times including one time for 4 years. The difference this time is I didn't try to quit, I quit. One day at a time, that's how you have to do it. Decide that you are going to quit and then do it. You have to work at it every day.
Do everything that this site says, it works if you stick to it. Post roll every day, exchange digits with others here and use them, share what is going on, good and bad. And at first there will be more bad than good, but it will get better. Read some of the things that some here have gone through and still quit. I'm not talking just about the cravings but being physically sick, cold sweat, headaches, insomnia. I read these stories and makes my quit look easy and these people are here every day staying quit.
Man us and decide that you are going to quit whatever it takes or remain the slave of a little can forever.

Dude, reach down grab your sack and do this! Until you really want this you're wasting yours and our time. You obviously don't want to stop, back surgery want help unless you quit and you choose nicotine over possible pain or never walking again or whatever. Man this really pisses me off. See you don't have what it takes to quit. There's not a person on here than really didn't enjoy dipping but quitters, real quitters learn to hate dip and choose to live. Man up or move on. I really don't expect to see you here again for a couple more years because you're an addict and want accept it. You will be a slave for a while longer until you realize these things. Prove me wrong please but I truly have little faith in you. I will give you my number and walk side by side with you ODAAT when you are ready, advice one more day of dipping could cost you the rest of your life

Ive lurked at killthecan on and off for 8 months, particularly when I needed to quit in order to have a major back surgery in March. Ive been dipping for roughly 6 years, after starting in high school and picking up the habit full time in college. I leaned on dip in times of stress, in times of studying, in times of celebration, when sober and drunk and at times for no reason. I was at roughly 1-2 tins a week for almost a year after graduating, using it as a crutch for constant back pain as a way to relax and deal with pain. Once I knew I needed a fusion surgery, the doctor told me that I could not have nicotine, as it affects the healing process of spinal bones. I made it over 3 months, and caved in when with a friend watching hockey, and slowly increased from there. Even though the doctor said I was healing properly, I knew it wasnt smart to continue, but I couldnt hold off. The last 4 months I have been back at full force, roughly a dip a day, despite telling my self "tomorrow Im going to quit". Something clicked today, and I came back to this site and decided to register in order to seek help and support from the community. Ive made a plan, as I have several times over the years trying to quit, with phone reminders, a countdown calendar and email support in order to hold off the urge and buy a tin. The biggest struggle will be on the way home from work, finding a route without gas stations or 7-11 and fighting the urge to buy one. I fear most for when Im out drinking with my friends, as I find myself venturing off in search for a tin. So today is day 1... andzzly I truly hope I have the will power, strength or intelligence to fight off and make it day by day. I plan to post as often as I can, and I appreciate what this community does to support those fighting these cravings.

Welcome to KTC. You have made the right decision and came to the right place. Quitting is not easy but you can do this. Just take one day at a time. Post roll in the January 2017 group every day and commit to staying quit every day. If you feel like you might cave or just need to talk reach out to anyone here for help. We are all quitting together.

Your intro title sums it up, if you want to be held accountable then KTC is the right place.
However it is a two way street:
-Post roll everyday, get active and support others!
-Repeat everyday
-Don't leave the door cracked, have a plan when you are around chewers; gum seeds, candy, toothpicks, fake chew

Parting words:
-Caving is easy, being a quitter is hardwork, do you have it.

This is your quit, own it or be owned by chew
