Dude I want to cheer you on and support you so much... But part of the deal here is the price of entry. Your name needs to be on roll call every day first thing.

I remember joining and thinking... Wtf are these peeps lecturing me about roll call for? This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard... Posting roll first thing every day? I'm a grown ass man! Figuring this out is almost impossible! I kept fucking it up when I tried to post. (A grown ass man who chewed like a lying fiend for 25 years).

That was almost 900 days ago. I haven't missed posting a day since. And I won't. This program works. Let it work for you. Quitting alone was an exercise in futility for me. Quitting as a team... Smart! Everyone... EVERYONE fucks up posting roll at first. Someone will fix it. Just keep trying and you'll figure it out.

Post your promise. Keep your word. You don't do this for the rest of your life. You do it for today. Join us and we will help you figure it out.

So you're completely nic free right now? No nic patch, gum, or anything? If so then you will be with August

topic/11112756/169/#new

I encourage you to first read the Welcome Center

forum/55560/

Also, read some HOF (Hall of Fame) posts. These are people who have gone 100 days of nic free living.

forum/55568/

If you have read that info, and are nic free, you're ready to start the best part of your life. Go to August and introduce yourself, and post roll. Get some phone numbers. Ask questions. Be involved with your group.

Where do we post roll?
Now at 32 hours.
I expected some of these physical things that I have been experiencing, but I didn't prepare at all for the mental battle I am having with myself. It's amazing the amount of excuses I have come up with today to try and convince myself this isn't okay.
I have realized that this is a new journey....starting something new instead of stopping something old. I'll get these cravings, dizzy spells, trembles and who knows what else I'm in for, but I can't look at how to satisfy those anymore. I have to look at how to deal with them. Stay on my new journey and do things differently the rest of my life. Handle certain things and deal with certain situations differently from here on out. Including post meal snacks. Lol!

Vtrain still rollin strong!

Hey everyone!

I found this site because I am quitting here in about 4 hours. The million times I have tried, well, I don't think I took seriously, as in the back of my mind I knew I would start again.
A little history: I grew up in a small town in Wyoming and just but everyone chewed in high school. The big thing after practice was to meet by the river, throw in a dip and discuss sports, girls, parties, and how we thought we knew everything at that age. I'll never forget hating the fact I hated chew the first few times I tried it, almost puking.
Fast forward to now, 21 years later. I love it, but hate it. After reading comments and whatnot, I've realized it controls my life. Literally. I've never been so honest, but I pretty much chew from the moment I wake up until I go to bed. Hell sometimes I fall asleep with one in. I have used about a can to a can and a half per day. I constantly have a dip in. I have even gotten to the point that I can eat with a dip in, if I take smaller bites. Yes, I do this so I don't have to take it out. The funny thing is, about 90% of the people I've met the past 10 years don't even know I chew. I'm ashamed of being a chewer, but it's all I think about. It's a constant in my life, but I hide it. Back to my point, I've taken a step back and realized how much it controls me and my life. I want to be in control of what I do. I want to do more instead of laying around chewing on my "free" days.
I also realize I can't do this alone, as much as I hate to admit it. I need help.
I have a little bit left I my can, will chew until it's time for work (16 hr shift). First time since I was 24 I will have a chew out of my mouth for more than an hour.
I will do this....
Rule #1

This is a nic free site. You don't post if you're on nicotine.

I'm glad you're making your decision, but don't post another thing until you've quit nic completely (including any nic gum or patches) and thrown it all in the trash.

Having said that, once you've done that, and posted your Day 1 in August, you'll be free. It's going to suck. Bad. But the freedom is worth it.

If you can grind it out and lean on this site, you can do it. It will change your life. It changed mine 133 days ago.

But again, get the fuck out of here with that "imma finish this can" bullshit.
Ouch hard love! But very true,don't have time for playing game's. This is your life and we take our quits very seriously. With that been said come in post roll and get you some badass quit going! Damn proud to be quit with you today my friend!
You can do this. It is hard, no question about it.

Right now a lot of your life is being controlled by some chopped up plant in a can by a lot... Let's be honest... Most of it. Have you lied to your families to feed your addiction? Could you have used the money you've wasted to better your family? Are you scared that cancer caused by you will take you from your family? Are you ashamed?

Throw it out. Take your life back. No pain, no gain. We will help. Carpe diem.
Ktc will show you how to regain your freedom. YOU will have to work the program and committ to stay Nic free one day at a time. Hell! It may have to be a commitment you make hourly. Either way, it's gonna be hard. But the freedom you get in return is beyond your understanding right now. As you go through this you will learn about yourself and see that the addiction is weakness and you can choose to be stronger then a poisonous weed. Throw your shit out and let your body begin to heal.
Post roll. Keep your word.

I'm done with chew

Fair enough. Never been on a forum, not sure how this goes.
