Welcome to KTC Subrehcabra. I noticed in your intro that you plan to be a "frequent visitor" the next couple of months. I suspect you will need to re-evaluate your commitment to your quit or you are probably setting yourself up for a failed attempt. Around here, we dont try to quit...we are quit every day. And we work at it daily by posting roll, not for just a few weeks and assume we are CURED! Since you have not posted roll yet, let me tell you a little about why we post roll and what it means at KTC. Roll is your daily promise to yourself and all of your new brothers and sisters that you will not use tobacco in any form that day. You will post your name and the number of days you are quit each day in the May, 2014 quit group. Each and every day you will post your promise. No exceptions. That is the price of admission to KTC. Nothing more and nothing less. If your electricity quits working, your internet provider goes bankrupt or you are on vacation and will not have internet access, call or text a quit brother and tell the brother to post for you. Simple and easyÂ…and therefore, no reason for not posting roll. The reason you are put in May is that will be the month that you will celebrate being 100 days free of nicotineÂ…your Hall of Fame date.

Now that you know the basics, it is time to read all you can on this site. Go to the welcome center and that will get you started. Post roll and stick around...dont be just a visitor for a while...become a participant! Wayne

How to post roll.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

How to Post ROLL CALL - Roll Call Instructions
Step 1 - Find the last Roll Call Page in Pre Hof: May 2014.
Step 2 - Hit the "Quote" button in the upper right hand corner of that roll page.
Step 3 – Two boxes have now appeared. Click your mouse ANYWHERE in The bottom Box.
Step 4 - Hit Ctrl and "A" at the same time so the box looks like a solid blue box.
Step 5 - Hit Ctrl and "X" at the same timeÂ…now there should be NOTHING in Either Box.
Step 6 – Now, click your mouse anywhere in the TOP BOX
Step 7 - Hit Ctrl and "V" at the same time and a lot of script will appear. Look for the new quitters section and ADD YOUR info to the bottom of the list of new quitters. Your information will be your name and the number of days you are quit (Example:wmcatty-425)
Step 8 - Hit ADD REPLY below the bottom box and you will see an old screen. Hit the Go To First Unread Post on the top left of the screen and it will take you to your roll post. If you are not listed, you have been “Bumped”…more on that later.

After over 4 decades of slavery to that can I took my life back 664 days ago. Am I quit forever? That's to hard to commit too but by damned I can quit today and so can you. For months I dwelt on my stupidity for all the years, but no more. Instead I concentrate on today. We will never 'not' be addicts but everyday we can decide to not use. Embrace the suck of quitting, hate it, remember it and never make the stupid mistake that makes you repeat it. Quitting is so simple, but because we have to reprogram our addicted brains the battles are far from painless. Take all the advise your given, follow the plan (there are no short cuts) and concentrate on today. One last thought, if an stubborn old bastard like me can do this a young buck like you can surely do it.

One of the best decisions you will ever make. I am pushing 70, quitting dip after over 25 years and smokes before that since I was your age. You are gonna do it. I quit with you every day.

Congrats on a great decision, I wish I would have been that smart at your age. Read this and take it all in, this method of quitting helps.

Hey what's up man. Congrats on the decision to quit! One of the best decisions you'll ever make! Make sure to get involved with your Quit Group (HOF April '14) lots of badass quitters in there who'd gladly quit beside you. This site will make you quit, PERMANENTLY. No like all the other times us nicotine addicts were "quit". Post roll every morning, give us your word that you'll stay quit for those 24 hours. That's all it takes. One day at a time and then repeat. Get some digits to keep you afloat when the cravings get unbearable, because at times they will.

We're both very young, I am 21, and from what I've heard most guys would kill to quit at our age. Making the decision to bury nicotine now before it makes any more of an impact on our lives is huge! Don't let the bitch call you back in. No matter how difficult it gets. There are too many people here who care about you, don't let them down. It will get easier, just take it one day at a time (ODAAT) and use all the resources on this incredible site.

Hang in there man I'm quit today with you!

Do you remember nicotine? Do you truly remember her? The way she controlled you financially, emotionally and physically? The lies she whispered in your ear daily? Remember how one dip was too many and one thousand was never enough? Yeah, so do I. That's why I'm here. That's why I post roll. That's why I support my brothers and sisters. Because I remember her too damn well.

also, I'm really exhausted and I've been getting plenty of sleep. Is this a common thing to feel?

over it
« on: January 24, 2014, 03:07:00 PM »
Im 23 and have been chewing for the last 4 years, tried to quit many many times. the nic bitch has made me lie to my family, girlfriend and even myself. hiding it from the ones I love. justifying just one more can. its okay to chew because I'm doing X activity. its all bullshit and I'm fuckin sick of it. So 5 days ago I took my last chew forever.

The longest I have been without it in the last 4 years is a month and a half. I thought I had my shit under control a couple months ago, but then I met up with some buddies from high school and got nostalgic and it put me right back into the death grip of the nic bitch, doing a can a day. and days I spent with my girlfriend I couldn't wait to make an excuse to get away for a half hour to fuel my addiction.

How i'm feeling. I feel like shit. I have headaches, wild mood swings, i'm very foggy, I get intense cravings in my jaw I can feel tingling in my teeth, and every few hours I get a very warm tingling sensation that feels kind of like a buzz but it's just me wanting to rage. I think about chew probably 90% of the day. its really hard to hide from my girlfriend, who thinks I quit months ago. I'm doing the best I can, biting my tongue when I just want to freak out.

So far my cravings seem to be staying the same, but my willingness to cave is getting weaker. I've been in this stage of the quit many times before. the first week is the absolute worst. I know I will beat this. I have too many dreams to see through in this life and getting cancer would fuck all of that up.

I have found all of the posts on this website very helpful, and I know I'll be a frequent visitor for the next few months. I hope my fog lifts soon, I have a lot of homework in grad school, and its impossible when I can't think straight. lets do this guys and gals.

ps. I like subarus and snowboarding and live in Washington.
