Day 1 Quitting

[Bean]

Wow...more tobacco lies. Read about nicotine withdrawals and what they really are. Nicotine DOES NOT calm nerves. An addict begins to get nervous and figitty with the nicotine level in you blood begins to drop...happened every few hours at my worst. So, then I'd put a dip in an "calm" myself down which was really a bunch of bullshit anyway because I would be calm if I just hadn't started putting that shit in my face to begin with!!!

Read, read and read. Stay close to this site. Post roll every day and keep your word. You are in control now, brother. Congrats!!!

I just wanted to say thanks for all the replies really makes me motivated to beat this nicotine addiction

In answer to your question i started in college because mainly i heard it helped alot with focus and i heard alot of people using it for school purposes. My school drug tests randomly every week so obviously using a medication like adoral was not really an option because i knew i dont actually need it prescribed to me. Last semester i was just at an all time low in terms of getting through day to day because of what i had been through over the last year. It was just a rough stretch for me and i was doubting myself a lot so i turned to nicotine. Im not a fan of cigarettes, and my cousin had let try his pouches before. Thats how i got started.

Ill be PMing you all soon

Go BLUES!!!!

Blues! You got this. I'm also a college student, started in high school and worked my way up to over a tin day. Until just under a month ago. I said screw you nicotine. Forget all your lies and false sense of security. This relationship is over no matter how difficult you make it. And you know what? I stuck to it and haven't looked back. I post roll first thing in the morning, I don't let the quit get me too high or too low and when it does get me real low I head on over to KTC and let it out. I keep a tin of Smokey Mountain with me at all times, and I'd recommend you do the same. At first the taste was awful compared to the real deal but now I love the flavor.

Right now you have to start seeing nicotine for what it is, a subtraction. It never made your life better it convinced you it did, but I promise it never did. It didn't make you smarter, or more attractive and it didn't make driving or studying more enjoyable. Make caving a non option and take it 24 hours at a time.

Feel free to PM me if you want to talk or need some advice.

I'm a college student, I starting dipping about a year ago and have done it heavily almost everyday since I started. I know its a horrible habit and I've finally decided that I need to quit and do it now. Today, February 4 2014, is my first day of my road to quitting smokeless tobacco.

Just curious. Most people start as a kid. How did you get started in college?

Read everything. Educate yourself. Know the enemy.

and....GO BLACKHAWKS!!!!!!

Yes you are smart to quit now. Read everything on KTC. The knowledge that is on this site can help you get your freedom back, but you have to want it. You have to work your quit. Lots of help here for you, but you are the only one with the power to be quit. The KTC way works! Just study up on how to quit KTC style, and live it. PM me if you need anything.

Read and read, then perhaps some more. Might I also suggest that you find a fellow quitter to walk the trail with. If by any chance the STL in your Username and the Blues reference indicates that you are even remotely close to living in the St. Louis area let me know. I reside in St. Louis and if that is not enough it appears that we might just happen to have some other similarities, although age is not one of them.

PM me if you want or need guidance or want a local number to have a crutch when needed.

Blues, I'm truly jealous of you. I'm twice your age but also two times dumber than you. I didn't realize I was a freaking idiot until the lip bitch had been with me for 20+ years. Congratz on your quit and listen to all the advice you get on here. Posting roll is 99% to making you stay quit. You are promising your fellow quit brothers you won't screw up today. Remember you're an addict for the rest of your life, don't take that lightly. Don't ever think you can't go back, lots of 1 day posters on here that were quit for years. Enjoy your quit and embrace it.

I quit with you today as well.

I just officially joined KTC today and I'm officially quitting today.
I know it says day 1-3 are the hardest
are there any types for coping with the first three days?
I recently ordered the herbal pouches to help me quit. I'm actually excited to begin quitting because I think I really have noticed a significant change in my behavior/personal since I started. I just feel like a different person and I don't know if thats out of the ordinary or if thats a normal feeling. I was never a smoker or anything before about a year ago. I didnt really even do much with alcohol before i turned 21. For some reason i just decided last august that i wanted to try smokeless tobacco.

I'm a marine engineering major finishing my bachelor of engineering degree this May. In Spring of 2013, I realized I was slightly behind being on track to graduate in May 2014, not because I'm a slacker or because I failed classes, but because I switched majors a couple times and it screwed up some of my course loads. Anyways I knew to stay on track I had to really load up on credits. I took 21 credits in Spring 2013 and it was a very difficult semester. Then I went on my 90 day summer sea term, which is part of what maritime colleges is do and the 90 day summer sea term is one of the biggest milestones to complete at the school. I went 7 for 7 on my license seminar exams and couldnt have been more proud. When it was over and the ship returned to New York in August, I got to go home for the first time since christmas. Sadly, I was only able to be home for 5 days until I had to go back to school for RA training and the beginning of my Fall semester, which is when i decided to try the smokeless tobacco. I had heard it helps with focus and I had an 8 hr drive to NYC ahead of me. I figured what the hell ill try it. I ended up liking it and never even got sick from it. Then the reality hit me that I have another 14 weeks of 21 credits. It was a brutal experience and i dipped hard for every single day of those 14 weeks and ended up with a 3.70 GPA for the semester. However, it was not over for me yet because is till had to sit for my USCG third assistant engineer license exams in January. I spent all three weeks of christmas break studying my ass off 8 hrs a day. And yeah you can guess what i did every single day.....yup dipped hard the entire month. License is one of the most difficult experiences to go through at my college because its like the BAR exam for engineers and i cant graduate unless i pass it. It consisted of 7 different 3 hr exams in a four day period. By far my proudest achievement I went 7 for 7 on those exams. Now that puts me in the last semester of my senior year and ive been telling myself constantly I'm only dipping to get me through the semester.... to get me through license.... to relax and enjoy myself.


Enough is ENOUGH and i need to quit


this is my story and why I am quitting. I am quitting for myself because I do not need tobacco to continue on in life


this is my story hope it is appropriate for this forum and not too lengthy

Welcome. Doesn't take an engineer to Quit. Just post roll first thing every day. Then honor your word all day. Then repeat tomorrow.

[Grizzlyhasclaws]

I'm very glad you've decided to quit tobacco/nicotine. It's not really a habit though, it's an addiction. It is a deadly poison. It destroys lives. It kills people. It takes 20-40 years off of peoples' lives. I'm an older fart type, not as old as some of these dudes, but old enough to wish I'd quit at your age. I am telling you: YOU MUST STICK TO THIS COMMITMENT. IF YOU DON'T YOU WILL DIE EARLY. THIS IS YOUR BIG CHANCE. EMBRACE KTC AND FOLLOW THE PATH. BE ONE OF THE RARE YOUNGINS WHO SUCCEEDS AT QUITTING!!! BE STRONG AND WORK THE KTC PLAN.

If you have questions about our commitment and how this thing works please send me a message. I will be happy to exchange numbers with you and explain the process.

Welcome to quitting and I quit today with you.
