Let it Begin

[Mogul]

Perfect, glad you found it. Posting roll is the only price you have to pay to stay here. It is also the accountability to keep you quit. It's your word, keep it.

How about an update Dorn? This is one of the most physically and mentally challenging things you will ever do. Jump into this community with both feet. Read, post, get numbers...get your name on roll every day and get ready for the fight of your life....rather, the fight for your life. If I can do this, you can.

Doing well so far! Still trying to figure out how this all works. I've been looking for roll, but I can't seem to find a current class. The last classes I can view are from 2013 if I am remembering right. If you could point me in the right direction that'd be much appreciated!

Aside from that, I'm definitely noticing some of the effects. Caffeine is hitting me way harder (normal sized cup of coffee made me feel as if I had taken adderall), and I noticed I could not sleep through the night as well. I just got back from WeFest (huge country music festival that is 4 days long) on Sunday and I knew I was dead tired, but last night I couldn't fall asleep until 1:30am and somehow woke up at 7:30am without an alarm or anything. Oddly enough, I don't feel tired today or anything.

I also find myself running my tongue along my gums where the missing dip is... Bit annoying and usually creates and urge, but I've taken a page from some of the advice on the site here and I keep busy. I really don't notice it much so long as I'm moving or thinking, so yesterday I cleaned a large portion of my fraternity house, and today I plan to finish cleaning it then begin repainting our window trim on the outside.

Thanks for listening and checking up! Hope all is well with you!

Correction, I've found Roll and have posted roll for today!

Today is my day 1 too. AND let me tell you that it's driving me nuts already. I've spent all morning on this site just reading through all the stuff and enjoying the brotherhood. The one thing that really made sense to me is reading Tom's story. I'm not sure where i found it on here but it's a story that is told through posts from his wife and family. I encourage you to read that. It made me realize how painful the addiction is to yourself and to the loved ones around you. I'm right here with you!

Here's the story. Read it. Then when you need to, read it again. Being quit is being right. There are no excuses to put that shit in your mouth again.

You have got support from Day 1 dudes, to long time vets, let's see you post roll and promise not to use nicotine.

Brady, hang in there. It's a rough ride those first three days, but it's going to get better for you. I hit a week today, and I can tell you it is still difficult, but that "fog" crap goes away, and you will be able to concentrate. You can do this brother!

[Flannywho]

Congrats on your quit. Take each day at a time and build on it. Each passing day you stay quit builds confidence in yourself you can stay quit, and with the help from all of us, you can do it. Keep telling yourself one day at a time. First three are the hardest, then build on your quit day to day
Good luck and reach out to any of us when you need it.

Brady don't dread the days ahead rather embrace it. Know that there is light at the end of the tunnel and once the nicotine leaves your system you will be able to live life to the fullest. Dip holds you back from enjoying life because you are a slave to it and everything revolves around if you have enough, do you need more, do you have the money for more etc. Welcome to the path to gaining back your freedom and truly enjoying life! Post roll and get connected with your quit group and utilize the site (read HOF and HOL stories or talk to guys who came before you and made it work) Glad to be quit with you today Brady

You're almost there, Brady. Put your honor where your words are... Get yourself on roll today and everyday. See that round foam thing? That's a personal quit device, a PQD. If you just grab it and put your name on roll, we'll pull you in. Get some!

[Air Force ADDICT]

Yeah baby! Another quitter in the house... Shoot us straight here on KTC  feel free to vent. We've all been there bro. I echo what the last two quitters have mentioned to you. It's going to suck for a while... And then it won't. I just PM'd you w/ my number so call/text me when you need to rage.

What's up everybody, my name is Brady and today is the day. In the past, if you're like me you've told yourself (and most likely some of your friends) that you were going to quit dippin', only to find yourself back on the can. I've attempted to quit close to three or four times, and everytime has had the same result: it didn't work. I've chewed for three years, and every day as of late I become more frustrated and aggravated with myself for putting that pinch in. Every trip to the store includes a tin, because I know I will need another before the day is up. I cringe when I see that price displayed on the register, and my jaw practically drops when I look at my bank statement overridden with $7.50 purchases from the many different convenience stores.

Well, today is where I draw the line. I cannot continue the path I am on, and why not now, right? I look forward to being tobacco free, while I dread the initial consequences I forced myself to go through. Put it on the calendars because as we speak I am taking out my last ever chew, and I am throwing away the remainder of my copenhagen.............. Gone. Looking forward to this process and tracking my progress on this site. Happy Monday y'all.

Read all you can here Dorn. Sounds like you are serious so you better get packed up on some seeds, toothpicks, fake shit, and AJ's favorite..atomic fireballs. This is the best decision you have ever made and you will see that later down the road. For now be prepared to go freaking nuts. Post it here, stay on KTC and let us know what your going through and you will get tons of support. I quit with ya today.

Good.

I'm glad that you're quit...let's stay quit. We can help each other here.

First of all, you've got a small period of time where you're going to "take" from the site. Read. Read as much as you can. Make friends, and jump right in. Drink plenty of water, exercise, and limit your caffeine for now (trust me...you'll be jittery enough). The tools are here to help you quit, but you have to guide them. DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO STAY QUIT RIGHT NOW.

Eventually, you'll give back just like everybody here is. But that's not here or there. To hell with the future...we got the now.

You can do this. Only you decide whether you are quit or not.
