First Day is Tomorrow

[dunlapsig]

Welcome to the site and I hope today is treating you better. The fog is a tough thing to crack and no one around you truely understand why you feel the way you do then us who have been there before. I'm 27 but dipped since 17. Been quit 164 days today.

Back in my college days I "attempted" to quit, without this site or any support, and there was 1 proximate cause of why I would cave. Hell I even made it 5 months one time without caving back then but it was always related to alcohol. Not because I was mad, not because there was a trigger but that I was high on life at that moment and thought yeah I'de love a dip! when it was offered to me.

If you find yourself in a drunken situation and think one won't hurt... you have an obligation to contact us first.

All my roommates dipped when I was in college as well so I know that pain, We also dipped the same kind of dip but it didn't hurt my relationship. You probably recognize their pattern of what time of day they do it. I used to go to the gym or go in my room for a while in the beginning phases to provide some separation. After a while you'll see it and think the brown spit is gross.

Remember though to take it odaat, we are all here for you.

BTW welcome to the June group. I'm in day 6, almost 7 and feeling great. Day 3 sucked for me. That's when I had the headaches. They are gone for now.

When you are feeling pissy, you have to get on this site and get pissy with us. Don't take it out on your friends, they won't understand. We get it. We are here to quit with you. Keep it simple quit one day at a time. You can do it with the help and sport of KTC.

Second day was a tough one. Woke up late for class. Had a headache all day wasn't to bad just felt like my heart was in my head. I got to class and my classes are definitely my triggers so today was a long day. But here I am I made it. Bad thing though is I was feeling pissy after a long day of class and took it out on a girl I'm close with. Stupid me just thinks if you can't be happy right now then why should anyone else. Lucky for me she understood after I apologized and explained what was going on. All and all a tough day but not even close to breaking me. To all in my quit group sorry I didn't post role till 6:30ish my mistake. Every morning here on out. And I'd like to know what y'all use to overcome your oral fixation. I have seeds right now but they're so salty. Any other suggestions?

Jay the most important thing other than roll is where your mind is at today. I found this quote that helps put it into prospective: "If you worry about what might be, and wonder what might have been, you will ignore what is." Live and quit in the present (minute, hour or day).

Hope to see you in the June group tomorrow. And like Steak said...don't plan to quit. Just quit. Now.

We've all been there and done it. You've dipped for 3 years. I dipped for 33, and probably have spent at least three years at various points of my life just planning to quit.  None of them ever worked.

Not judging you, just saying that I've never had a quit date work, until last Monday...when I didn't plan it. Just quit. Just quit for a day, then do it again.

I'll quit with you.

Thanks man means a lot. Just flushed the can happy to say I'm done now.

This site works.

Post roll every day before you do anything else. Anything. Your first priority is getting your name in the roll. Then, be a man if your word. You can do anything for a day. If you don't have integrity and can't keep your word, this site won't work. Your intro sounds like you are a man of your word and one with conviction.

Your roommate is an interesting situation. Dude, you do understand that you are an addict, and that you can't have "just one", right? Once you post roll, you will stay clean for the day. Your friend needs to keep his poison out of site, and heeds to be supportive. This will be a test of your friendship, but in the end has the potential to save 2 lives instead of just 1.

If you need another contact, send me a pm. We are all in this boat together and one day at a time we beat the nicotine bitch into the ground. Congratulations on making a great decision.

Hey everyone my names Jordan. I live in middle Georgia and it's time for me to stop. I'm a college student and I'm just tired of it, but I'm addicted. I've been dipping for about 3 years now.  I decided about a month ago that I'm gonna stop March 5th no matter what no excuses. And guess what that's tomorrow. I've tried stopping a lot not and just couldn't make it. Hoping that surrounding myself with those who are (or have been) in my situation will help me get past this dumbass addiction. The main reasons that I want to quit is for me. As selfish as it sounds I deserve better then to dip myself into the grave. My main issues is going to be my roommate dips and most of the people I associate with do too. And I can't change roommates because we've been friends since before we could walk. I'm hoping that y'all will support me through for the next year or so until I can put all this behind me. And advice is welcome. Take it easy

Question: you have 1 hour left on March 4th and you want to quit on March 5th. What will you gain from that last dip in the next hour? who knows, maybe that's the dip that gives you cancer?

You make a couple of points which are pretty solid starts. 1) you recognize you're an addict and 2) You're quitting for yourself. Good start. One piece of advice on the outlook, however, is don't prepare to stop dipping. Prepare to quit nicotine. There is no stop, there is only quit. Read up on the site, I'll look for your name on the June roll call tomorrow.

I told myself awhile back that I'll stop on the 5th. It's my grandmother birthday who was real close to me so I decided to stop on that day. I don't plan on using any nicotine products tonight. I hope that answered the question. And I really appreciate the support!
