Today is the Day

[Erussell]

Hey man enjoyed meeting you in chat. Give us an update on your quit now at day 8.

[KC Bronco]

I feel you buddy. I know how it feels. But the most fucked up thing for me was this. The first two weeks of my Quit was no problem. I dipped 1-2 cans a day for 25 years. I couldn't believe I was quitting.

It was like day 77 and it occured to me that I could quit...so maybe I could have like one dip a day. It couldn't hurt. Maybe one after work...or during the game...or fishing. Whatever...

Keep your guard up!! I'm so glad I never caved. 236 days being free from nicotine. It's now getting easier for me. Everyone is different. But for me the first two weeks were the easiest. Nicotine is one mean bitch!!
Kick her skanky ass each day....One day at a time...."NO DIPPING TODAY!!!!"

Oh...and you'll save thousands of dollars too.....

You can do it buddy! If I can quit...YOU can quit!!! KC Bronco--aka Jason

I felt fine...but then my day turned into hell...I made it through though thanks to some members here.

It is Day 3 and I am sore as hell but I have been drinking the water and chewing the toothpicks.
I will make it through today.

May well be another tough day man, nothing the rest of us haven't already gone through and survived though.

Be ready man for the ups and downs. post roll hang on to your quit balls and keep fighting you are fighting for your life man. Posting roll promises us and you that you will stay nicotine free for today not two weeks 5 months 5 years today only. We quit ODAAT one day at a time here.

Listen learn read read read is my advice to you. keep close to the sight. I felt like total shit for awhile not going to lie. All the other stoppages never felt like this quit did I puked and shit my guts out for two days with aches pains and felt hot and cold. Then the fog came but that's what I got for treating my body like a sewer for all those years. Remember how you are feeling right now and tell yourself you never want to feel like this again....NAFAR never again for any reason...I played that over and over in my head I had it on a constant loop.

PM me if you need anything

That's how we do it! One Day At A Time!

Klug I reached far back into my quit and brought this forward, it actually means more to me today than it did then:

Day 69 Im back and my funk has passed! finally!  ONE DAY (unit) AT A TIME!  What a simple concept, almost too simple to take serious until you think about it.    Life is about one day at a time.  Each of our lives began as one day at a time.  One word, one step, one friend,   some of the days were rewarding and successful others not so much. (I’ve been working on this one for 55 yrs)  Those of you that are married: marriage is one day at a time, some fun and rewarding others difficult and depressing. (I’ve been working on this one for 32 yr)  Raising children:  One exciting moment and success after another,  stumbles and falls, ups and downs, happy days and really sad days.  One sleepless night after another when they are newborn to one sleepless night after another when they are teens. (I’ve been working on this one for 31 yrs)  Addiction to NICOTINE:  That happened one day (one pinch) at a time;  I seriously doubt that any of you started dipping a full can a day.  For me it was probably a small pinch every day or two, then a pinch a day,  a pinch two or three times a day, Till I had the shit in my mouth literally 24/7.  (I’ve been working on this one for nearly 40 yrs.)  QUIT:  Why should our quit be any different?  Simply stated it can’t be. Quitting our addiction to nicotine is a process, a long process, one day at a time.  It may end up being one minute at a time when we first start the process.  Remember ONE UNIT AT A TIME.   One day, one minute, one success, one triumph, one crave, one trigger, one cry, one rage , etc. (I’ve been working on this one for 69 days)  When each day ends I will continue to examine how I preformed that day and how I can improve on it, when I report in the next day.  This is the process of Life, Live it to your greatest potential and be proud of your accomplishments.  I have got to say that I am proud of my quit and proud to be quit with each of you addicts.  Because of my addiction I haven't allowed myself to be proud of much for a very long time.

Wt57- that is brilliant insight and advice- thank you for digging this out.

Klug- if you haven't already I would recommend finding Wt57's intro thread and reading it from post 1 till done- this has been the most helpful tool for my quit. Seeing that I am not a special butterfly- and learning from those that have walked it and are still walking it. I know that I am going to read his thread and learn how to quit like fuck.

Thanks for the well wishes. It is the beginning of day 2 and I feel fine. I am using smokey mountain Herbal to hold something in my mouth and I have plastic toothpics as well. I am gonna chew the hell out of them. I kinda enjoy the immense rush of energy building up inside of me...
I feel the need for speed.

That's awesome. I hope to see you post roll. KTC can't force you to decide to quit, but if you post roll and are a man if you word it will take the hope out if your quit. I am going thru a divorce at just 82 days and I will without a doubt remain quit today! Listen to Apple's instructions below and post roll with us. I will quit with you.

Day one is a momentous occasion but nothing compared to the real, true, non-nicotine induced euphoria of good things in life and the raw, unmasked angst (when that has to come along). There will be a little more of the second thing for sure the first week or so so lean on your fellow KTC members for support. Whatever you do don't take another dip! And post roll every day, give your word and keep it bro.

Welcome klugman. Some good folk here with some good advice. What kinda triggers do you have and what are your plans for when the craves hit?

[klugman]

It is early Saturday morning and I am quitting for the second and last time in my life. I have been meaning to quit for a while now; I mean I really do hate dipping but you know how it has a hold on you. I got online and and searched for tips on quitting and thats how I found this place.

The first time I quit dipping was for 5 years and that was 11 years ago. Before that I had dipped for over 20 years... I got divorced and that was all the excuse I needed to start back up again. But even so I knew I was making a big mistake and I have hated it ever since.

I am glad to be here.
