Day 25 - Quarter of the way to HOF day

Had some ups and downs. The first 5 days were absolutely miserable. The craves, fog, and irritability made it pretty rough. But then things started to clear up. I was excited about not being tied to a can and found pleasure in doing things for the first time in a long time without a dip: plane ride, long car ride, going to a movie, drinking a coffee and not keeping the to go cup as a spitter.

The three things that made the first 25 days a success were
1. Support from family- my brother is quitting smoking with me at the same time (not on this site and not interested)
2. KTC - a couple of people really reached out and have helped me out a lot
3. Sunflower seeds and gum- new best friends.

I'll say the weirdest part about quitting is the the dreams. In my dreams I've been dipping at my wedding in the church, eating chew, and been chased by the KGB while dipping. Weird shit.

Plan right now is pretty simple.

1. Promise to myself I won't do it again.
2. Don't put the shit in my lip
3. Suffer and stay strong haha
Sounds pretty good. Get some of the numbers in the May '17 group. I will be sending you a PM shortly.

If you need someone to talk you down from the crave ledge or whatever, just text.

Quitting is easy, its staying that way that is hard. BUT, they say it gets easier.
Yep, get some numbers, and post roll daily. Buckle down for a few days and then experience the freedom!

To remain quit requires focus

I found this site today. It was good timing, because my quit day was yesterday.
Been doing this stuff for 9.5 yrs now and need to quit. I don't want to be tied to it anymore. No more feeling cuffed to the addiction.

I know it will not be easy, and I ask for your help. Help me break this habit. I promise not to cave.
So what's your plan my friend?
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

Hell yeah, Bombsquad!! Way to take that leap. Just remember to take it one day at a time. Make that promise early so that you are not tempted to cave before doing so. If you are a man of you word, like I know you are, once you make that promise for the day there is not turning back.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Do this daily and voila, you found the secret of KTC. Promise early for the day, keep that promise. That easy, yet so damn hard.

Reach out if you need extra support!
