Hey first time poster here and 3rd attempt at quitting. I'm 25 and I've been dipping since I was 19. I tried to quit last year with an ecig that actually worked great, and I highly reccomend it. I didn't have a dip for 2 weeks and was only using the ecig twice a day. I thought I was off the wagon but I lost the damn thing. I freaked because I didn't have money for another one. So I easily talked myself into getting a can of grizzly. My 2nd attempt was cold turkey. I managed to make it to day 4 when I had an anxiety attack. This time I'm serious! No more laziness and stomach problems. I've got a few bags of sunflower seeds for the oral fixation, and some tylanol. I'm so glad I found this site! So many great success stories. Wish me luck.
Zoot, glad your hear bub. No trying allowed. You either do or don't. Also, the is no luck involved as I ave heard many vets say. You make the choice to stay nic free and prevent any craves from getting you. There is nothing special about any of us quitters here. The only difference between us and you is that your on day 1 and we are not. How did this happen. WE BEEN SLAMMIN THE KTC KOOLAID BY THE GALLON. Glad you found the site now start chuggin!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you pass out we will help out.

Someone, somewhere out there is suffering through a more intense crave than me and that person is staying quit. As will I. -JoeMellow

When we think we can't quit... We can... Cause ducks fly together... When the craves are to much to handle... Us ducks fly together.... When you want to cave... You won't... Because ducks fly together. Per our Jpete328
Freedom Started 06/26/2013....Freedom continues because of my choice and accountability from MY FELLOW DUCKS! QUACK ! QUACK! Thank You!

Congrats on making a life changing decision. You're a young buck so you should have plenty of fight in you which is good as you will need it.

The tools to quit are here so use them. Dig in deep and get ready for the fight of your life. It is not going to be a fun or an easy ride but it will be worth it. I'm just on my first hour of quit but I have been on that hour for 557 hours, you see....we only make it through an hour at a time...simple enough...right?

Text me if you need help or just want to talk, my number is in your inbox.
Welcome to the site. I would highly recommend you forget everything you know about quitting before today... That's my recommendation. Listen to all these quitters here.

THESE METHODS WORK!!!

Post roll everyday and keep your word. One day at a time and you can have a lot what the poison has stolen. Never again for Any reason and you can keep it. Will be looking for your roll post.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Zooted, Welcome to November. I have been calling us the "SkyDivers" because I really like the analogy. The first step is a big one but that's where the real fun starts. As others have mentioned, your quit starts when you decide to not use any form of nicotine. That's when the fun begins. This will be as easy or as hard as your attitude allows it to be. Think of your craving as a little nic monster living inside you. You created him when you had your very first exposure to nicotine and have been feeding him ever since. When you have a crave, it really helps to envision that little monster inside you pouting and kicking and screaming as he throws a tantrum for nicotine. It is not you that wants it, it's the little monster that you are starving. Thinking of it as a separate entity helped me laugh and smile when I had a crave. I actually got to the point where I enjoyed the crave because it was like a "death rattle" of the vile little demon. It is important to realize that I know I am an addict.

"Hello, My name is DaBean22 and I am an addict"
"Hello DaBean22"

That little demon will never completely die in me. I will starve him into near extinction but he won't actually die. From time to time, he will pull his head up from the dark place he hides and whisper softly "just one won't hurt you" or "you won't get addicted this time". It is for that reason that I stay diligent. I first thought that I would only post here for the first 100 days. Now, I don't have any intention to ever stop. I quit every day, one day at a time but I tell you what, when I hit day 7,300 I'll make sure to throw a party for everyone to come to and I hate throwing parties. I say this to make sure you realize that you, like all addicts, will never ever be able to have nicotine without waking up the monster fully. There is a great freedom in that. In past attempts, what I was really doing was to see if I could stop for long enough for the cravings to go away. This was a complete failure on my part because I was essentially waiting for me to grow out of being an addict. I could never succeed that way. Now, I realize that I am done. completely. permanently. Now I can start living my life one day at a time. I couldn't live my life ODAAT before because I was waiting for me to change. Don't wait for the change..... Just put on the November parachute and jump. We've got your back every day. Don't look back. The plane is going to crash anyway. Welcome to November. Let's enjoy the ride together.
DaBeen is speaking truth. Take it in. Once you picture the nicbitch as separate from you, you will take joy in beating it down. You will feel empowered every time you steal a crave from it. It becomes a very winnable fight, instead of a miserable drudgery. Learn to hate what the nicbitch has done to you. How it controlled you while convincing you you liked being led around on a leash.
You can do this. PM if you need anything.
Glad to be quit with you today.

  • Interests: I was addicted to nicotine for about 19 years before I actually realized that I was an addict to a drug. Allen Carr helped open my eyes with LionHeartedGirl (my sister). I am currently on day 2 and because of the frame of mind and different point of view that "The Easy Way" has given me, I don't doubt for one moment that I have ingested the last bit of that weed for the rest of my life. I am 35 now and am setting a goal of living long enough to have saved $100,000 because of my quit. At the same time, I am setting the goal of not smoking TODAY! One step at a time, while keeping my eyes on the horizon.

We do not "attempt" to quit. Here at KTC we just quit. We Quit hard, one day at a time.
Post roll (read about how and why) and keep your word by staying nicotine free, then do the same thing tomorrow.
Glad to be quit with you.

If you were using an e-cig that administers nicotine, then you didn't quit at all that time. Tobacco is not the enemy here. Nicotine is the enemy. Absolutely no nicotine - that is the only way to go.

Welcome to your new Quit, you didn't quit previously you stopped. Remember to post roll, read directions on how to and understand that when you post role you promise to everyone and yourself that you quit. Although your quit is all about you, you have to want it but everyone here will take your promise seriously as should you.

Deck in your PM inbox as you have a message coming from me to help you get acquainted.

Then you should be joining the November 13 group. They are newbies like you but they have a good group forming thus far. Go play in the sandbox, read everything you can on here and come post daily.
