Hey Jason welcome to your best chance of staying ahead of the addiction. Around here we donÂ’t try to make it a week we worry about one day at a time(ODAAT) sometimes 1 minute at a time. Wow is it not weird how your brain is playing tricks on you? Well it pretty much does everyone, in time when the rewiring process is over it will be so much better. Nicotine is very deadly in more ways than cancer thatÂ’s why itÂ’s messing with so many parts of your body. Get on that roll call make your promise early every damn day! Keep that promise and before you know it you will have a whole new perspective about yourself and such a better outlook on life. ItÂ’s not gonna be easy it will get better but itÂ’s gonna take awhile, lean on me and many more on this site. I made it this far by making my daily promise and having so many brothers and sisters watching my back and I still need them after 1148 dayÂ’s! I will quit with you today. My number is a pm away.

10 years on and off - guess what, the on part of that says you are an addict! I love that you have stayed off nicotine for 22 days. On this web site you can connect with other addicts and keep that number growing. I think you should find your quit group and start posting roll daily. I'm sure Grandma would approve! ;)

I quit with you today! Stranger999 day 896.

Quote from: Jpalik83
I'm 22 days into my quit. I've found several articles on this website that have significantly helped me thus and now I want to dive in completely.

My story, in short, is that I have a 10 year on/off relationship with dip....mostly on. Mostly 1/2 - 1 can per day of Copenhagen. I also for the last several years have a history of hiding it from my family. I'm not proud of that part of my story at all.

My quit started when my grandmother started sending me articles on facebook about mouth cancer. Needless to say, I began reading these articles, looking at pictures, and scaring the shit out of myself. I thought about having not only to tell my family that I was hiding an addiction from them, but also that I had a life altering sickness as a result. I became a basket case almost over night and my quit immediately began at that point.

I've been quit for 22 days as of today! I've been to the dentist multiple times, as every little thing in my mouth that felt "off" scared me to death. The dentist has assured me that everything in my mouth looks fine, but that he's always glad to see someone quit a habit like this before something serious does develop. I'm fighting through the anxiety and sleepless nights right now, and had to go get put on some light meds due to the fact that my brain just couldn't believe/accept that I didn't have mouth cancer and that I wasn't going to die.

This has been a very hard, but very worth while journey. I owe my wife and two kids my health and longevity. Glad to be sharing in this journey alongside all of you!

Thanks,

Jason
Hi Jason,

Welcome to KTC.

Congratulations on being 22 days into to your quit on your own. That is awesome. Have you joined your May 2018 group yet? In this forum, we post roll every morning, first thing. Posting Roll is your promise to yourself and everyone in KTC that you will be nicotine free for the next 24 hours, and then you come back the next day and do it again. We work on a One Day at a Time philosophy. But if you need it, we can always support someone minute by minute.

Go here for your Quit Group: topic/30471996/

I strongly advise you to get the numbers of several people in your group and give them your number. This will help with your accountability, it is also great to know that help is only phone call or text away if you need it. I will PM you my digits in a few minutes.

Proud to be quit with you today

If you want my digits, just ask and they will be yours, but I expect yours in return.

Accountability is a statement of personal promise, both to yourself and to the people around you, to deliver specific defined results.
Brian Dive

Do not be complacent about your achievements and not to strive for continual improvement when you get to the top. As soon as you let success go to your head, you sink into following familiar patterns and play it safe. In other words, you risk losing your edge.
Roy T. Bennett

You need anything, ask.  You feel strong, help.  This quit is for you but we got your back.

Do not let the actions of others determine the direction of YOUR quit.
