Nice job posting roll yesterday. Hope you are ready to post roll again today...if you do I will quit with you. Get ready for a rocky road Brandt, your first few weeks of quitting will be rough, but take it one day at a time, you can do it, I know this because I did it after dipping for 26 years. Other than making a daily promise and keeeping that promise the biggest tool I used was anger. Anger that you have lost control, anger at the Tobacco companies, anger that your health is in jeopardy, anger that you look like such a chump in certain situations with a big lipper in, anger that it's so fucking hard to quit. Bottle up as much anger as you can muster and hold it in, everytime you have a crave unleash that anger. Everyday your anger at your situation has to be stronger than your desire to dip. Over time my anger is still there but my desire has fallen way off. Get after it.
Thanks for the support. Posted again to roll again today. Had a dip every morning for the last 21 years until yesterday.
I'm ready to quit today too.

Fucking rock this man.

(1) Water-Drink tons of it. Day 2 left me punch drunk. You'll really start to feel the effects today. While you're at it, limit your caffeine. Trust me...you'll be jittery enough already. You want to sleep at night, and you won't even notice with all that water you're drinking.

(2) Exercise-Bad crave? Kill it with some exercise. Running/walking is a great crave killer, but it's nothing like banging out some pushups. The poison is in your system for at least 3 days and possible more. Water and exercise pushes it out so that you can begin healing.

(3) Post and have fun when you can-There's not much good in these first few days, but it gets better....way better. Trust me. Enjoy the good when you can, and lean on this site when it's bad.

You can do this. I know because we are.
Welcome Brandt,
you're in the right place to get quit and "be quit".
This site and the brotherhood works to save lives and keep us quit.
Take what you need, give what you can.

post roll
keep your word
wake and repeat

You can do this ODAAT and NAFAR, period
Keeping my jaw and tongue...I like them.
It's poison I tell ya, You wouldn't drink Liquid Drano, would ya?

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

I love a first post that shows the quitter has read and understands the process and has made his decision to quit and speaks with conviction. I like those posts because it is exactly what I wasn't.

Great job making the decision the quit. Now follow through and let us help along the way.

Yell if you need anything.

Brandt, First welcome to the asylum. Second as you found out, cutting back does not work and the reason is because you are an addict, like all of us here at KTC. Addicts cannot just have one of anything or do something in moderation, doesn't work that way. Once you accept this, it will make this entire process if not easier, more acceptable.

I see you posted roll today and that is awesome. Roll is the cornerstone of your quit here at KTC. Make your promise and live up to that promise and do it again tomorrow. We don't worry about the next week or the next day even, just the 24 hours. The next day may never get here. Glad to have you aboard and make sure to stay close to this site over the next week. Use it to help get you thru the craves, chat is an excellent place to go during craves. Drink lots of water, get seeds, fake dip, gum or whatever you need to stay clean, that is the goal. The next 3-4 days will really suck and we actually refer to this as the SUCK, so embrace that and remember that you do not want to ever go through that again.
