Welcome. Day 3 can be a real bitch, I know it was worst day. What is you plan for today, and the upcoming weekend? Do you have other quitters digits?
Hey Thumblewort - Sorry I haven't been back to this page yet. I do have other quitters digits and today is my Day 9... postin roll, enjoying fishflorida's gif every morning
Hi there.

Congrats on day 9. That's huge. Finish today and remember - you will never have to go back through those first days again as long as you just keep that shit out of your mouth.
Boulder huh? I'm from the Springs.

Just saying hello and adding support.

Quittin' like a girl.

Hey Kyle, Welcome!

You are on day 3. That is great. This is going to be one of your toughest days. It takes 3 days to get the tobacco out of your system. But it will continue to be difficult for many days to come.

The key to being successful is to quit debating whether to dip or not. Once that argument ends then everything else is easier.

I recommend drinking plenty of Orange Juice. When you dip, your brain releases sugar which creates that feeling of pleasure. Drinking OJ or other fruit juice will give your brain the sugar high that dip used to produce.

Make sure you eat three square meals a day, that you get as much sleep as possible, and you exercise everyday. That will make the quit a bit easier.

You will find that time flies and before you know it you will have 400 days under your belt.

I quit with you today.

« on: January 13, 2017, 07:20:00 AM »
Hey y'all my name is Kyle and I've been chewing a can to a 1.5 a day for the past 5 or so years. I started in college playing on the hockey team, then it sort of transitioned to doing it all the time. I went to school in Boulder, so I am in the back country a lot and there always just seemed to be enough room in my bag for a tin. I got married a little over a year ago and my wife was under the impression that I quit, however, being the dumbass I am, I hadn't. Long story short, I was getting really tired of the lies and the feeling that I was chained to this junk and sure enough around the same time I was getting serious about quitting, she had found out and told me.

As of 1/10/2017 I told her I was done, done lying, done saying that all these things are less important than having a fatty in my lip and sitting around. I told her I would need help, told her about KTC. All I know by Day 3 this morning as I wake up, the fog is bad, my days at work are harder, my drives seem to take forever, but I can tell you the fog of quitting is way better than the fog of some other life where dip is the most important thing, even trumping my wife, my job, and robbing me of seeing everything so clearly.

I'm glad to be here, stoked you guys are here and I look forward to the quit with hope and vow to embrace the suck each morning I wake up
