just quit

[Leahy16]

I'm with you Jake. I feel your pain. All of us do.

We have one distinct advantage over you at this very moment and that, quite simply, is that we know you will survive this. We believe in you and we will help you until you have the strength to also believe in you.

Stay the course. Wake up and make your promise to stay quit today, Friday. Live in the moment and do NOT even think about tomorrow, next week, month or year. You are quitting ONLY for today.

That's how this works and that's how you will march for the near future.

You can do this. Believe it!!!!

Look...I chewed for about 15 yrs.  When I quit 81 days ago I was up to 2 cans a day.  I quit when i had a sore on my lip i thought was cancer (it wasnt) and i had a panic attack and was in the hospital for 3 days and thats when i realized i had my wake up call and decided to quit cold ass turkey.

I literally went ape shit about a week in with anxiety,  I thought I was a diabetic ( have no idea why, even bought a glucometer), I thought I forgot to breathe, i could barely sleep for 2 weeks, I couldn't eat,  I was scared of this sight...even left it for a couple weeks,  I thought I couldn't answer the phone at work,  I thought nobody would like me anymore,  hell I didn't even know if I could love my wife and kids anymore, I thought I would never be able to watch sports,  a movie, a sit com or even a porn ever again. I thought I would never be "me" againg,    I thought I was superman and NOT having dip was my cryptonite...and nobody even knew I dipped,  I was a ninjas dipper.  I now see a shrink and a substance abuse councellor and take anti anxiety meds.

Hows that for fucked up?

Will your quit be that bad?  Hell no,  at least I sure the hell hope not.  But like u I kept asking for "end dates".  "When will this end,  when will I feel this again,  when will things get better,  etc..." and people on here said the same thing..."everyone is different but trust me things will get better".  When I woke up the next day I would be pissed and say to myself "fuck these guys this shit will never get better"

But the one thing I NEVER did was give up.  The easiest thing would have been for me to say fuck these guys I don't know them from Adam,  grab a can and go back to being "normal"...but I haven't.  Sometimes I wonder why but i know fucking why.  I REALLY want to quit this shit.  I hate being a slave to it...and oh yeah its killing me.  Why else would I put up with all this shit?

Truth is it does get better.  Took awhile for me and I recently hit a funk as I think my brain is doing some re wiring,  but if you post roll daily,  stay close to the sight and involved, you can and will beat this shit.  Don't let my story scare you,  I'm just being honest.  But if you are really serious about quitting,  jump aboard,  I got your back and so do a ton of guys who aren't nearly the pussy I am.

Ready shakes his head. And then he swells up with pride. Who are these people? They reach out from the life boat, extend thier hand and pull with all their might. I do not know Diesel. But I know his kind and his character. Thank you Diesel.

Not gonna hi-jack the intro, but Diesel is FAR FAR FAR from a pussy. He has overcome a lot and had a difficult time with his quit at some points. Yet here he is today. It takes balls to admit all the shit he's gone through with his quit. He's a badass.

i'm not exaggerating when i say I can't concentrate for more than 2 seconds without wanting to smash my keyboard

I believe you 100%.

I was you.

I am free now. You can be too.

I'm going to continue nicotine free.

Well, quite frankly, you have no choice at this point. You see, you have given your word to me. And a thousand others that you will not use nicotine in any way, shape or form today.

Welcome brother.

I look forward to seeing the day when you post in someones introduction section letting them know that they too can do this. And that all of the pain and suffering is worth it.


And you will be speaking the truth, from experience.

It is truly a life enriching experiencing to rid yourself of the chains.

Listen to this man.

He knows of what he speaks.

I understand 100% too of what you are going through.

This place works. I'm another example of what this place can do.

If I can, you can.

Great decision, and welcome Brother.

throw the gum away, smash something if you need to - you can buy a new keyboard buy you cant buy a quit for any money!

(cheaper to relax though!!)

[jakeryan2410]

appreciate all the words of advice. it is a wild ride. I'm a god damn computer engineer and I can't follow directions to a web site right now. just goes to show you how rough it can be. i'm not exaggerating when i say I can't concentrate for more than 2 seconds without wanting to smash my keyboard

I'm trying so hard to relax. I just want to sit and watch tv and enjoy myself. big problem is i always had a fat chew in while i watched tv. getting used to that is going to take some time. Mentally I am prepared to make these changes. I chose to.

I need to get through this first hump. I will post roll again. I am not going for the nicorette gum tonight. and i'm proud of myself beause i was planning to. I'm going to continue nicotine free.

god damn i want to smash something though

[mich 34]

I haven't seen it but it's good - who cares if you fuck it up the first time or two - keep posting roll - get it right - read the directions at the welcome center - keep posting roll and stay quit= I quit with you today- get to know the guys in November - help them and they will help you- go to live chat , rage at everyone here- pm anyone to trade phone numbers - text, call - do whatever you have to to not put that shit in your systerm!! glad you decided to quit with us

[SirDerek]

tried to do roll call. I'm not sure if I did it right. I read the instructions. but I'm having a hard time concentrating. someone tell me yay or ney if i did it right.

First of all, try to relax. Take a deep breath. You are on a wild ride right now and the adrenaline is going at 1000 miles an hour. All you are going through is normal.
The first 72 hours is the nicotene withdrawal symptoms, the rest from here on out is the mind games it will play on you, the little pains, anxiety.

As said this is all normal. You need to remember that you are strong, before you started you lived without the nicotene for how many years? So it can be done, you just need to believe in yourself, and let your mind and body re-wire itself now in the absence of the poison.

Here is a link to the video for posting roll, http://www.killthecan.org/roll/
Your name is there for today, but take a look, relax, review and try this again tommorrow. There is no issue for a newbie to mess up roll as we will learn, There is issue with someone who is not serious about his quit.

'clap'

I accept your word of Honor.

[MikeWC]

I see your name at the very bottom of your post. If I thought I could walk you through it I would but I would probably mess it up worse. I am sure a veteran will chime in here soon. Welcome to November! And you better post up tomorrow right away! Check your inbox. Mike
