Glad you're here. Listen to these quitters. We've all been exactly where you're at right now. It sucks for a bit, but it's well worth it. Remember: Wake, Roll, Repeat.
He isn't here. No roll, and no activity for 3 days. Quitting isn't for everyone.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Yep it is going to be hard but this site works if used...
rule #1 post role, EDD (every damn day), first thing
rule #2 be accountable, keep your promise and hold others to theirs
rule #3 get active and stay active, you have a craving, get on KTC, have 5 minutes between meetings KTC, etc.
rule #4 quitting is easier than loosing your tongue or jaw

All great advice, only thing I would love to add is take it one day at a time. Don't worry about where you will be next year, next month or next week, worry about staying quit today. Manage each crave on its own. Hell, I am craving a pinch right now but me giving you some advice is helping me remember to do the same and take it one less pinch at a time.

So, I've finally quit after 20 years of a can a day habit. I had some success a few years back where I quit for a year (but got addicted to nicotine gum instead), so I'm going cold turkey. I'm somewhat sick of chewing tobacco being an integral part of my life. I remember scraping for change in college like a crack addict to get a can. Even planning to quit, I couldn't really imagine what it'd be like to be chew-free.

Well, here it is. It's a rough 1st day.
JJ look here my friend! Get in here post roll and let's get you some badass quit going! 20 year's long enough to be a slave. Let us help but you gotta help yourself! I'm an addict just like you! I quit with you today!
I got tired of all that shit too. That's why I quit.

It's not important what your exact reasons are for quitting, what's important is that you have testicular fortitude to do this for yourself. You made the decision, and we can help you stay quit.

Drink water (and tons of it). Watch you caffeine as you'll be jittery enough. Don't need any extra sleepless nights.

Exercise duringcraves. Push ups are phenomenal crave killers. If you dont run, learn. Start by taking a walk.

Have your supplies always on hand. Your enemy (your nicotine addicted body) doesn't have to reach for its weapon. you do. The ktc is a weapon that you can point during your battles, but you ultimately have to pull the trigger.

Post roll. Quit for right now.
In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD
