New quitter on board

[Sffelix]

Good evening to all,

My name is Samuel, I am a public health major at Temple University.

 I have been dipping 2 cans of grizzly wintergreen pouches per day since summer of 2015, I started dipping to replace cigarettes as I wanted to spare my lungs so I could pass my Navy PFT. I had been smoking since 2008 at the age of 18.

I have finally grown some balls to finally quit because it has made a significant financial impact, as well as souring a relationship where I am actively trying to win back my ex-girlfriend who I still love dearly after 3 years of being apart.

Tonight I sat by the curb and looked up at the heavens and said out loud that I would take back control. I no longer want to keep dipping and I swear these cans are gifts from the devil himself. I cried and cried. I’m tired of it, it’s nasty, does no good, and yet I’ve been chasing it for years. Today, it ends. I will do everything in my willpower to evade these cravings and get a grip.

Words of encouragement would be highly appreciated from the community here.
I am looking forward to fighting the next 72 hours head on.

I will no longer let grizzly control me. I quit. For good.

Welcome @Sffelix . Here is the link to the Jan2021 group and where you can take your freedom back. https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=16725.0  You need to be quitting for yourself or you chances of success are slim. We wake up, piss, and post our promise to stay nicotine free for the day and then keep your promise. Repeat the process the following day. Quitting sucks for a while and takes work, but then it gets better. Building relationships is huge and can go along way in helping you stay quit. Don’t worry about quitting forever. Worry about quitting one day at a time. We will deal with tomorrow when it gets here.

Hi Samuel,

You are in the right pace to quit.  You say you will do whatever it takes.  Well, what it takes is you admitting you are an addict and you will be an addict until the day you die.  We all are.  But we can control our addiction.  All it takes is a promise every morning and keeping that promise for the day.  Like my brother Keith said, it takes work, but it will get easier as the days stack up. 

The process is easy:

1. Wake Up
2. Piss
3. Post your promise to remain nicotine free for the next 24 hours
4. Keep your word
5. Repeat Daily

Like Keith said, it will suck at first, then one day it won't quite suck as bad and everyday will get a little better.

So click that link that Keith gave you to take you to your quit group, learn how to post roll and get to know your fellow quitters in your group.  Exchange phone numbers with them and some vets.  The phone numbers give you instant support when you need it.  They are also the start of your web of accountability and brotherhood.

It's time to grab your sack and quit like a man.

@Sffelix  Welcome my friend.  Chris (AKA bearfucker) and Keith have given you great advice and I see that you have posted your day 1 in January.  Great work.  Follow their advise and lead and you will do fine.  Only thing I would add is to read as much as you can on the site.  There is lots of info on these pages (Intros, Comma club, HOF Speeches, etc).  Early on, when I was feeling weak, I'd find strength in those who experienced what I was experiencing, wrote about it, and got through.  Other than that, EXERCISE, water, and as many relationships as you can create here with folks in your group and others on the site.  The more people who are invested in YOU, the better your chances are of staying away.

That's already WAAAAY to much info for day 1.  Hold the Line brother.

Welcome, Samuel.
I, too, was a slave to the Bear. I dipped Grizzly Natural fine cut for probably 15 years, and that was after Cope got too expensive and after I'd stopped smoking after 10 years, so about 28 years of addiction overall. Didn't much matter, though, the cost there at the end. I was spending $50 a week on that worm dirt and not batting an eye about it. It was actually in our family budget. How freaking sad is that?

I can't tell you anything better than what you've been told by Chris, Keith, and HAG. Those dudes know their shit, and they speak the truth. This is a good place to be. I seriously doubt I'd be 230 days quit if it weren't for the people on this site.

Get in your group, the January quitters. Sure, it's small right now, but it will grow. Trade digits with people. Having that instant lifeline is critical, especially in the first days and weeks of your quit. Nobody's gonna lie to you here; this shit is gonna be hard for a while. Your body and your mind will turn on you for a while, and they will make you turn on others. That's the Nicodemon fighting to stay in control. You are stronger. You HAVE to believe that or this will never last.

The formula is simple: Brotherhood + Accountability = Success. You're an addict. Own that shit. Be ready to be held accountable, and if you get called out, own that shit, too. Be willing to be a part of the brotherhood. Talk to people. Be active on the site. You can't expect to have a brother if you're not willing to be a brother.

You've got this ODAAT - One Day At A Time - Samuel. Send me a PM if you want to swap digits. I'll be looking for your name on the January roster.

@Sffelix, if you want to see what QUIT looks like, ask @GS9502 to see his tattoo. That's a badass quitter right there giving you badass quit info

@Sffelix
….whelp that didn't last long.  Gotta grab yourself by the nuts Sam, twist real hard, and try again.

These mood swings are a bitch. I removed myself from anything having to do with the internet. Anytime I got a craving, I ran out and did sprints. I’m feeling a bit better, but these mood swings... o boy

While sprints are a great way to curb cravings, here at KTC we post our promises to not use nicotine in ANY form each day without exception. If you don't want to get on the internet, share digits with a fellow quitter and text them in the morning asking for a "pick up". They will get your name and day count on roll and it counts the same.

A sprint won't necessarily keep you from caving. Being bound by your word will. Let's make posting roll a priority here.

That is brilliant. You sign up for an accountability website to help you with your addiction to nicotine and then stay off the internet? Suggest you spend a ton of time reading quitters HOF speeches and other information on the site.

Better yet @Sffelix share digits with your vets and they can walk you thru those times. I never thought it would work but here I am 227 days later and a testament that it works. I don't have as many digits as some but the ones I do have are a big reason why I am quit today. It gives you strength to power thru your issues and it helps others power thru theirs. I will gladly help just like all these guys above me here that responded before. They and myself will share digits and all you need to do is pm us and ask. Stay strong my friend you got this.

**Update** Sprints usually make me feel pretty good. But quite honestly, the first day was the worst for me. It’s day 4, I have some  cravings but they’re not getting the better of me. Yesterday, I felt some mood shifts and cried my ass off over how I never want to use dip again and after i stopped crying I felt quite good with no cravings and fell asleep like a baby. This morning I woke up with cravings but they were hell of a lot easier to deal with, I went to the gym, lifted weights, and ran a good 5 miles while pounding mad water. Came home and didn’t have a craving until now that I’m posting and it’s gone now.
I’m not sure my brain is fucking with me but I feel like I’m in control of everything I do as of right now, which I haven’t felt in years.

Good evening to all,

My name is Samuel, I am a public health major at Temple University.

 I have been dipping 2 cans of grizzly wintergreen pouches per day since summer of 2015, I started dipping to replace cigarettes as I wanted to spare my lungs so I could pass my Navy PFT. I had been smoking since 2008 at the age of 18.

I have finally grown some balls to finally quit because it has made a significant financial impact, as well as souring a relationship where I am actively trying to win back my ex-girlfriend who I still love dearly after 3 years of being apart.

Tonight I sat by the curb and looked up at the heavens and said out loud that I would take back control. I no longer want to keep dipping and I swear these cans are gifts from the devil himself. I cried and cried. I’m tired of it, it’s nasty, does no good, and yet I’ve been chasing it for years. Today, it ends. I will do everything in my willpower to evade these cravings and get a grip.

Words of encouragement would be highly appreciated from the community here.
I am looking forward to fighting the next 72 hours head on.

I will no longer let grizzly control me. I quit. For good.

Welcome @Sffelix . Here is the link to the Jan2021 group and where you can take your freedom back. https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=16725.0  You need to be quitting for yourself or you chances of success are slim. We wake up, piss, and post our promise to stay nicotine free for the day and then keep your promise. Repeat the process the following day. Quitting sucks for a while and takes work, but then it gets better. Building relationships is huge and can go along way in helping you stay quit. Don’t worry about quitting forever. Worry about quitting one day at a time. We will deal with tomorrow when it gets here.

Hi Samuel,

You are in the right pace to quit.  You say you will do whatever it takes.  Well, what it takes is you admitting you are an addict and you will be an addict until the day you die.  We all are.  But we can control our addiction.  All it takes is a promise every morning and keeping that promise for the day.  Like my brother Keith said, it takes work, but it will get easier as the days stack up. 

The process is easy:

1. Wake Up
2. Piss
3. Post your promise to remain nicotine free for the next 24 hours
4. Keep your word
5. Repeat Daily

Like Keith said, it will suck at first, then one day it won't quite suck as bad and everyday will get a little better.

So click that link that Keith gave you to take you to your quit group, learn how to post roll and get to know your fellow quitters in your group.  Exchange phone numbers with them and some vets.  The phone numbers give you instant support when you need it.  They are also the start of your web of accountability and brotherhood.

It's time to grab your sack and quit like a man.

@Sffelix  Welcome my friend.  Chris (AKA bearfucker) and Keith have given you great advice and I see that you have posted your day 1 in January.  Great work.  Follow their advise and lead and you will do fine.  Only thing I would add is to read as much as you can on the site.  There is lots of info on these pages (Intros, Comma club, HOF Speeches, etc).  Early on, when I was feeling weak, I'd find strength in those who experienced what I was experiencing, wrote about it, and got through.  Other than that, EXERCISE, water, and as many relationships as you can create here with folks in your group and others on the site.  The more people who are invested in YOU, the better your chances are of staying away.

That's already WAAAAY to much info for day 1.  Hold the Line brother.

Welcome, Samuel.
I, too, was a slave to the Bear. I dipped Grizzly Natural fine cut for probably 15 years, and that was after Cope got too expensive and after I'd stopped smoking after 10 years, so about 28 years of addiction overall. Didn't much matter, though, the cost there at the end. I was spending $50 a week on that worm dirt and not batting an eye about it. It was actually in our family budget. How freaking sad is that?

I can't tell you anything better than what you've been told by Chris, Keith, and HAG. Those dudes know their shit, and they speak the truth. This is a good place to be. I seriously doubt I'd be 230 days quit if it weren't for the people on this site.

Get in your group, the January quitters. Sure, it's small right now, but it will grow. Trade digits with people. Having that instant lifeline is critical, especially in the first days and weeks of your quit. Nobody's gonna lie to you here; this shit is gonna be hard for a while. Your body and your mind will turn on you for a while, and they will make you turn on others. That's the Nicodemon fighting to stay in control. You are stronger. You HAVE to believe that or this will never last.

The formula is simple: Brotherhood + Accountability = Success. You're an addict. Own that shit. Be ready to be held accountable, and if you get called out, own that shit, too. Be willing to be a part of the brotherhood. Talk to people. Be active on the site. You can't expect to have a brother if you're not willing to be a brother.

You've got this ODAAT - One Day At A Time - Samuel. Send me a PM if you want to swap digits. I'll be looking for your name on the January roster.

….whelp that didn't last long.  Gotta grab yourself by the nuts Sam, twist real hard, and try again.

These mood swings are a bitch. I removed myself from anything having to do with the internet. Anytime I got a craving, I ran out and did sprints. I’m feeling a bit better, but these mood swings... o boy

[stillbrewing]

Good evening to all,

My name is Samuel, I am a public health major at Temple University.

 I have been dipping 2 cans of grizzly wintergreen pouches per day since summer of 2015, I started dipping to replace cigarettes as I wanted to spare my lungs so I could pass my Navy PFT. I had been smoking since 2008 at the age of 18.

I have finally grown some balls to finally quit because it has made a significant financial impact, as well as souring a relationship where I am actively trying to win back my ex-girlfriend who I still love dearly after 3 years of being apart.

Tonight I sat by the curb and looked up at the heavens and said out loud that I would take back control. I no longer want to keep dipping and I swear these cans are gifts from the devil himself. I cried and cried. I’m tired of it, it’s nasty, does no good, and yet I’ve been chasing it for years. Today, it ends. I will do everything in my willpower to evade these cravings and get a grip.

Words of encouragement would be highly appreciated from the community here.
I am looking forward to fighting the next 72 hours head on.

I will no longer let grizzly control me. I quit. For good.

Welcome @Sffelix . Here is the link to the Jan2021 group and where you can take your freedom back. https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=16725.0  You need to be quitting for yourself or you chances of success are slim. We wake up, piss, and post our promise to stay nicotine free for the day and then keep your promise. Repeat the process the following day. Quitting sucks for a while and takes work, but then it gets better. Building relationships is huge and can go along way in helping you stay quit. Don’t worry about quitting forever. Worry about quitting one day at a time. We will deal with tomorrow when it gets here.

Hi Samuel,

You are in the right pace to quit.  You say you will do whatever it takes.  Well, what it takes is you admitting you are an addict and you will be an addict until the day you die.  We all are.  But we can control our addiction.  All it takes is a promise every morning and keeping that promise for the day.  Like my brother Keith said, it takes work, but it will get easier as the days stack up. 

The process is easy:

1. Wake Up
2. Piss
3. Post your promise to remain nicotine free for the next 24 hours
4. Keep your word
5. Repeat Daily

Like Keith said, it will suck at first, then one day it won't quite suck as bad and everyday will get a little better.

So click that link that Keith gave you to take you to your quit group, learn how to post roll and get to know your fellow quitters in your group.  Exchange phone numbers with them and some vets.  The phone numbers give you instant support when you need it.  They are also the start of your web of accountability and brotherhood.

It's time to grab your sack and quit like a man.

@Sffelix  Welcome my friend.  Chris (AKA bearfucker) and Keith have given you great advice and I see that you have posted your day 1 in January.  Great work.  Follow their advise and lead and you will do fine.  Only thing I would add is to read as much as you can on the site.  There is lots of info on these pages (Intros, Comma club, HOF Speeches, etc).  Early on, when I was feeling weak, I'd find strength in those who experienced what I was experiencing, wrote about it, and got through.  Other than that, EXERCISE, water, and as many relationships as you can create here with folks in your group and others on the site.  The more people who are invested in YOU, the better your chances are of staying away.

That's already WAAAAY to much info for day 1.  Hold the Line brother.

Welcome, Samuel.
I, too, was a slave to the Bear.
