New to KTC-- Day 4 starts tomorrow

[mizzoubuff]

Trey, hope you are hanging in bro! Like others posted, ibuprofen helps, and I've found that Grinds coffee pouches really helps me...just coffee grinds and vitamins, no nic...but provides that "something" in the lip and also b/c it's coffee an energy lift...when the crave hits especially...

Drink water constantly. Take ibuprofen for the headaches. Avoid alcohol for the next month! Exercise regularly, even if that's just 30 minutes to an hour walking a day (a great way to learn your way around a new city). Find something to do with your mouth (life savers, seeds, jerky, etc.). Know you can beat this thing one day at a time. There is nothing more lonely and difficult than moving to a new city. You will have some shitty days. Turn to KTC and not dip to handle those shitty days.

[Thumblewort]

Quit when you 23 and make a bunch of us old timers jealous! Power through the SUCK and never look back.

Trey,

Welcome. Read as much as you can on this site. First place I would start: Go find under the members tab Brett Lees. Read the nicotine addiction article he has in his signature block. Second, realize that nicotine withdrawal has never actually killed anyone, even tho it may seem like it at first. Third, build a web of accountability: exchange phone numbers with your quit group (seems strange at first, but it actually works). Fourth, post your promise to not use EARLY, Every Damn Day (EDD). This takes the option off the table (assuming you have integrity). Fifth, REPEAT. This shit works....trust me, I was a Copenhagen FIEND for damn near four decades.

New to this site, this is my first reply! But keep at it!!!! I've been using snus for almost six years and I'm done. I feel so much better. You can do this. This is day #16 for me.

Trey, that...was a great intro. Loved the part where you said you weren't addicted to dipping, smoking, etc., but that you're addicted to nicotine. So many people don't get that simple fact when they come here, rather they thought they had a habit they couldn't break.

I encourage you to heed the previous posters advice and most importantly post roll every day. Make that promise to yourself and to your quit brethren that you will not use nicotine for that day. Then, be a man of your word for that day. Yep, it's going to suck. It's supposed to and you should savor it. When the suck begins to fade, the fog lifts, and the quitter emerges, you can then promise yourself never to put yourself through that again.

I hope to see your name on that roll board every day and would be nice to see your name popping up in the comments of other peoples intro pages. Get involved - the return on investment for maxing out your quit is immeasurable.

Thanks everyone. Really struggling today. I've had a headache since this morning and it's 2:46 pm. Still hasn't gone away. I feel really weak, like my whole body aches, and the cravings for Nicotine are insane. I can literally feel my
Body pulsing with the cravings. It's so painful and strange.

Balls to the wall my friend! This shits hard! If you want it,grab your sac and man up! Own this shit it's yours! It may seem like it's gonna kill you, but it want! Quit on and be a badass proud quitter!

Another good thing to do is to continually revisit your intro and write down what you're thinking. Scroll through the intros and read the ones that have more than 15 pages to get a good feel for the emotional and psychological roller coaster you've just boarded. As you will see, it gets better as you work through the fog and the suck and rack up +1s.

I'm at a crossroads of life. I just graduated college, got a good job and now I've moved to a city where I don't know anyone and I have about 15 more days until my job starts. So I figured I'd quit dipping.

I'm 23 now, I started smoking when I was 16 years old. (Mistake number one) I smoked all through High School and was addicted two months in. Nicotine and I have never been friends, to say the very least. I decided to quit before College started, endured the hell of that (and it was miserable) and quit for a year and a half. Never thought I'd start again, but I got drunk one night at a pool and took a drag as a joke. (Mistake number 2)

It hit like heroin and I was hooked for the rest of college. Until about 6 months ago, I said "I'm done smoking. I don't like it anymore." But I couldn't muster up the courage to face the nicotine withdrawals, so I picked up dipping. (Mistake number 3)

I had dipped before, very rarely, but I understood the concept. Born, raised and educated in deep Alabama, dipping was as common as a glass of sweet tea. I started off with Copenhagen straight, moved to grizzly wintergreen long cut and settled on Grizzly pouches because it was less messy.

Friday night, I finished a can at the bar. Saturday, I woke up, went for a dip, was out and said to myself "need to run to the gas station."

But it occurred to me, I don't know where one is. I'm new to the city I'm in. Haven't even been here a week. So I figured I could go out and look for a gas station, or I could do what I know I've needed to do for a long, long time.

I'm not a dipping addict. I'm not a smoking addict. I'm addicted to nicotine. The ways in which it enters my body are numerous. I've smoked, dipped, chewed, vaped, gummed patched-- hell, I even chewed these nicotine rocks a friend of mine in Highschool was into.

I have found every way under the sun to poison my body with a toxin that kept its grip on my like a best friend with no positive benefit to add that wouldn't just let the fuck go.

Well, I'm letting go now. So fuck the pack, fuck the can, fuck the Ecig, gum,
Patch, inhaler, whatever. I will not live my life under the pretense that I'm enslaved to a chemical.

I'm here, I'm an addict and I'm sharing the awful experience of withdrawal with you. Fuck Nicotine. Day 4 starts tomorrow.

Great attitude to have. Would love to see you post roll tomorrow with us November Nymphos. Someone will 0ost a link to it shortly as I am mobile right now and cannot.

Look forward to seeing you tomorrow and quitting with you.

It's right here Trey: topic/11248831/35/

Get in there and post your roll. Let's get some accountability going in your quit, I guarantee you it will help.

Trey, from someone who dipped for 16 years you are making the right choice...this addiction only gets worse. You'll eventually claim to need it to take craps even, to get through stress, it becomes the first thing you do in the am and last thing in the pm...you'll go ninja and dip in the bathroom at work since its banned in most workplaces, it could cost you that new job, it cost me relationships, its that evil thing you must have pretty much every waking hour...it can run your life, it can cost you your life. When you are 40 like me, you'll regret that choice that I took at your age.

I'm on day 5 and it took 4 wisdom teeth being removed (where I literally couldn't dip for 2-3 days bc of pain) and a severe warning from my dentist to quit...so really im on day 2 of conscious choice. Stay quit, your future self will thank you. You don't want 16+ years of being beholden to some stupid can. Oh and btw it costs 2k per year on avg...that's 32 thousand...32 thousand flat wasted.

What he ^^^ said is so true it does just get worse the longer you wait. My dipping didn't quit at night or start in the morning I dipped 24-7, sleeping,eating and every other moment after 40+ years of addiction. I lost most of my teeth before I quit. You need to go to your quit group and get involved and post roll every damn day. After 3+ years I can tell you that following the KTC plan leads to success.
