Kansas kid that quit 9/18

[eyehatecope]

It is weird how your mind works. I can sit here and list 10 things that I hate about chew, you know like how disgusting it is, health risk, nasty spitters and even look at pictures of people who lost their lips. Yet after all that I sill can say right away how bad I would like one. I think that is where I am at on day 5 here. Not so much nic craving but just having that dip in my cheek. Been using some Oregon mint fake dip and that helps. Not a fan of the brand so searching here locally to see what places sell. Going to check Walmart tonight for their flavor.

where in Kansas dude?

If you haven't already checked these out. pretty much everything you have to buy online. so go get whatever you can for now. they all pretty much suck - lol. but I still use the Grinds and Teaza. when needed, they work. http://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/smo ... ernatives/

Just ordered a couple cans off here again. Just wish I knew which one favored skoal fine cut. Not sure why it would be so hard to replicate but it really sounds like nobody has figured it out yet. I have the Oregon mint wintergreen, not impressed. I ordered some smoky mountain, guess I will give it a shot.

I dipped cope long cut and snuff for 25 years. when I quit I used smokey mountain mint flavored. back in my using days I couldn't stand anything but that cope flavor. the mint to me held a better flavor longer than the wintergreen or the straight.... use what u can of the fake stuff to keep.u off of the real deal. quit on.

great decision......early in your quit along with the suck your brain also has feelings of satisfaction because it knows you are doing the right thing....make sure you take notice of those instances and focus on them as long as you can....it helped me a lot......fuck the suck it is strong enough you don't need to focus on that.....focus on freedom from that nic shit....lets say that when everyone starts their quit it is 80% suck and 20% " i am doing the right thing"....simply focus on the "i am doing the right thing" and you can flip those percentages........it is completely worth it and everybody on this site can help......the choice is yours and that is the Gods honest truth....you are in complete control and you can do this

Welcome bum....to the SUCK.... your life is not gonna be the same for the next few days. Learn to hate nicotine for what it's about to do to your mind. Even AFTER the physical withdrawal, you'll face months of the mental BS nicotine does to your primitive (addict) brain. But there's good news. Craves will NOT kill you if you don't give in to them. So it'll just be massively crappy, but you won't die.

Get to know your fellow quitters. They can help you get through the suck. Welcome again brother!

Great decision to quit, you will never regret it EVER!

The video was a great help. I edited my first try, and still a little rough but I have a better understanding for tomorrow. I been eating like a horse. Does that ever stop? I will be 300lbs by Christmas..

I gained 15 pounds. But hey, it's better than going and buying a can. Do whatever it takes in the beginning. You can lose weight, you can't regrow a jawbone. ;) Although 1 of the guys in our July quit group lost 20 pounds. He hit the gym and the track hard instead of hitting the food like I did.

Posting will be a breeze before you know it. But posting in a new group like December will be a challenge for a while. A lot of new people, going through the fog trying to figure it out too. But really, the only way you can screw up roll is to not be on it! Somebody will fix it, so don't worry about it.

Proud to be quit with you brother! Hang in there, it'll suck for a while, until it doesn't. But you can do this!

Deskbum you want help? Like Mike said it's simple post roll let's get you some help, 35 years slavery you gonna need it. 38 years myself I quit with you!

[Mike1966]

Deskbum make sure to post role in December. The price of admission is posting roll, everyday. Also the prerequisite for posting roll is that you aren't doing nicotine in any form. Gum, patches, ecigs etc. You can't post roll until you're going it cold turkey.
Post roll every day and early in the day. WUPP (Wake Up Piss Post) is our motto. It's a promise to the group and yourself that youÂ’re not going to use nicotine, not a report on how you did at the end of the day. The idea is that as you go through the day and have an urge to dip youÂ’ll remember that you made a promise to your brothers that you wouldnÂ’t dip today.

Click on the following link for a video on posting roll. It helped me out. PC How to post roll


Don't worry about accidentally posting on someone else's intro, it happens all the time. BNola will look back and laugh at it. One of the best intros I've read here is this one: NOLAQ count how many times a newbie wonders in and post an intro on NOLAQ's intro. It'll have you rolling in the floor! Not to mention, this is also one of the most inspiring intros on KTC.

A bit about myself and struggles. I quit Sunday night September 18th at about 9 pm. I have chewed about 35 years and I am only 42. Day 1 was fine, however that nights sleep was horrible. Anxiety terribly bad, hallucinated and heat flashes. Day 2 was fine until about 8 pm that night. Went to my happy place , while everyone was going to bed I go watch some sports. Alone time at last but watching baseball and really wanting my night cap. Day 3 more of a struggle. My after lunch craving was bad, after supper not much better. Planning on a bad night I decided to start sharing. Posted on Bnola introduction thinking it was a group of people who quit on same day as me. I did it all wrong and someone snipped at me for jacking his intro. Thank goodness I did not see it tell morning when I was fresh and strong again. Would not of helped my situation last night. I was needing support. Appologiesed today and Bnola seem cool and probably just as lost and confused as me. Anyway back to last night. Can not go to my man cave as that was too hard the night before. Bad stomach pain last night not sure if it is related to quitting or not. Other than that the night ended pretty well. Day 4 has started out good. Now to share how I am doing it and some of the surprises I have found. Tried the niccerette , not a fan but have been useing 2 to 3 pieces a day. Not sure if it is helping or not. Brought to my attention about it still be nicotine , its GONE. Kind of bloats you. Lots of sunflower seeds and planning on more gum and hard candies tomorrow. Bought some wintergreen Oregon mint, reminds me of Hawkins, again not a fan but it did help me through last night watching the baseball game. Anyone have a better product? Something more like Skoal. One thing I am really surprised about is I was for sure the hardest dip to go without was going to be my morning after coffee dip but this time has not bothered me much at all. Sorry kind of choppy but doing it from a phone is not the best idea. Looking for help and looking to help anyway I can. I'm strong, I am going to this for me. I'm done with this crap however I want one so bad right now. The mind games are the worst.
