Second times the charm!; Im back and back for good

[Acolli11]

Back a while ago I joined this forum to kick this terrible addiction. Well after just 4 days of a half ass commitment I failed. I didn't have the drive and desire I needed. But lately taking a look at my life with my new wife living in a new state I feel its time for a change. I have noticed to money I'm actually spending on this crap. And have noticed the actual toll it was taking on my body. From causing my anxiety to be worse, making my gums sore, making me lose sleep because I needed one more before I hit the hay so that means another hour being awake. Or not eating enough because if rather have a morning dip before work instead of morning breakfast. The list goes on well I am 30 hours dip free. Which is by no means a big feat but for me it is. So far I have no withdrawal symptoms other than being a little lethargic. That will probably change tomorrow but we will see. I have a strong drive to quit this time I hate tobacco I have for a long time with my new child on the way I will not have him around it I don't want to be that kind of dad. This quit is 98 percent for me and 2 percent for everyone else. Glad to be with y'all just remember everyday is easier everyday that passes is just proof you didn't need it

Welcome back Acolli. If you are truly serious about this quit, go over to topic/11721588/35/#new and post roll with November.

As you've been on a roll here before and caved, you will need to answer three questions to your new group and to the group that you were a part of before.

Sometimes folks can be harsh with cavers. How you respond will determine how people react. I recommend you putting some serious thought into your three questions and being humble and open to follow ups.

1. What Happened?
2. Why did it happen?
3. What will you do to prevent it from happening again?

The questions are to get you thinking and then to develop an action plan for success. If you can't do a little self reflection and then figure out why this time will be different, then this time WON'T be different.

Quitting is hard as hell. Be ready to fight. We can help you here and gladly will, but we don't slow the car down for those that can't keep up. Be strong, get angry, tap into the network here and you will be able to break free.

The k you for the link and letting me know what quit group I would belong to. I went ahead and posted role along with what happened last time. Ill take whatever shit anyone wants to throw at me and just like my withdrawal symptoms ill take them with a smile on my face because its worth it.

Stay quit

Hi man. Read your last intro. A few things...

Oral. Pancreatic. Esophagus. Colon. These are some of the cancers linked to your poison of choice. I assure you that your chances of winning the lottery are far less than getting one of these cancers. Don't fool yourself with the whispers... This stuff is the real deal. It is as addictive as heroin and it will kill you. If you'd like some links to stories and intros of Ktc members affected by cancer, let me know. Don't play with fire.

This isn't easy. Focus only on today. Post your promise as soon as your eyeballs open. Then keep your word. The first few days are not fun... But this gets easier. The reward of freedom is unreal. No more withdrawals, lying, hiding, wasting money, shame, doing something you know will kill you...the relief of not managing all of this bs is so amazing. One day at a time.

Post your promise. Keep your word. People on Ktc fail for one of 2 reasons...

1. They do not post their promise. In which case they do not want to quit. It takes seconds to post once you figure it out. If you choose to not post you are a half ass quitter at best. If you aren't willing to spend a few seconds a day posting, don't waste your time at this plan, cause it won't work. If you are willing...you will win.
2. They don't keep their word. Liars and sociopaths will fail. I don't think you are either of those,so by getting the right one day at a time post your promise daily mindset, you will win.

Dude... GET YOUR NAME ON ROLL CALL!

Howdy all! First i wanna say this is my first post and if it ends up in the wrong section i will gladly remove it and fix. I want to introduce myself my name is Aaron, im 20, married at 19 from texas and i work as an emt. (little about myself) and have been at a can a day since i was 15. Currently on hour 26 dip free, its late i have a migraine and very irritable. But otherwise holding strong. Reading about triggers it seems like my life is a trigger ? driving showering studying working after food pretty much all day. My gums are receding and im not gonna keep up until the day comes when my wife has to wake up next to a jawless man. My question is what have you found to help. Tryed smokey mountain and hate it. Sunflower seeds kinda helped. Also thoughts on something i found in the forum. I saw under facts and figures that 37000 people get diagnosed a year with oral cancer. Theres 300+million adults in this country wouldnt that make your odds similar to winning the lottery?? Just sayin my mind saw that and has been trying to use it as a way to break me all day.anyways nice to meet you all any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

Yes those oods are kinda like winning the lottery but someone's gonna lose! Are you willing to keep playing! There's a few guy's on here now that post everyday that have cancer, do you think they thought the odds were good enough to not have a chance of them having cancer? All your saying is pure addict talk. You're an addict just like the other 25000 +addicts on here! Post roll, man up and get this shit going and get the odds even better in your favor! I quit with you

Congrats on the quit, we, 'THE BROTHERHOOD' are here for you.
Go over to this page and see the different types of alternative dips to try.
I quit with you today.

Welcome to quit. The first 72 hours or so can be brutal. Use whatever works for the oral fix -- fake, seeds, jerky, hard candy, one guy used canned tuna (not sure that helped with the girls). If you gain weight, you can lose it later... freedom is to be gained now.

As the invite above points out, join the May 2016 quit group. Post your daily promise not to use nicotine for 24 hours (seems silly, but it works). Get to know those quitters, they are early in quit as well.

For now, drink lots of water and cranberry juice. Exercise til you drop. That will help with the migraines.

Honestly, really wanting to quit plus all of the support that I have found here has helped me the most. I just turned 50. I always had an excuse to start using tobacco again after I had stopped. I talked myself out of quitting time after time.

Today I have quit for 165 days. That is just a fraction of the days that I was a slave but with the support I have here it feels like a real foundation.

I hope you really want to do this and I quit with you today! :)

Nicotine has you trying to rationalize anything, knowing you will believe anything, just to get another dip. I say FU nicotine and let's celebrate 26 hours of being quit. Yes, pretty much everything is a trigger because you did everything with a dip right? Welcome to a world of "first time doing.....fill in the blank". You will have so many of them. It is what it is.

Even one person being diagnosed with oral cancer from the use of tobacco is too much. Don't gamble with your life. We all think it won't happen to us, but it's just a game of roulette. Truly. Seeds work. Gum works. A lot of people here will tell you fireball candies work. Smokey mountain works. Toothpicks. Carrots. Ice cubes work. Straws are good. You don't have to like any of them, but they work. That's the advice you wanted right? The key is to use anything else but nicotine. Don't put that shit in your mouth.

I wish I had quit at 20. Oh how I wish.
It will get better. I can promise you that. It's just gonna suck until it doesn't. Truth. Get to reading sir. I'd like you to see some photos of those "statistics with mouth cancer". I can message the link to you, but it's right here on the site. Read. Read. Read.

Oh yeah. You are right. Chicks don't dig dudes with half jaws.

Hey man I'm only on day 5 but I've been carrying water with me all the time and lifesavers and gum. It helps. I'm a career firefighter so I know the struggle with down time and riding in the rig with having a dip in. I've tried the fake chew in the past and don't recommend it, you'll try it and it won't fulfil your needs so you will resort back to the real stuff. I suggest cold turkey
Good luck on you quit. Join the May quit group and post role.
