West Nevada Quitter

[n2chukar]

I have to say it is surreal to look back and see how totally messed up I was at day 16. For all you newbie quitters, stay after it! Stay solid and it will be worth it. I still have sudden craves, but they are far less frequent and far less tempting. Proud to be quit with KTC.

[Its_Got2Happen]

Seriously, all you old time bad ass quitters depress the shit out of me sometimes... I read shit like post HOF is the worst and when you hit one year it's hard.... Fuck all you guys and the horse you rode in on!

There, I got that off my chest on the board, instead of chewing one of my employees out. I'm day 16 and today for some reason feeling like I'm half the man I used to be even though I feel better and I'm proud as shit that I'm quit.

I had a great weekend and now I'm in a funk -- no need to send the "cave calvary" as that's not going to happen. I'm just pissed that this dip can't be good for you and it's gone forever.

I look forward to the day when I can look back over a year and know I've taken one day at a time, sometimes an hour at a time.

I'm solid but I had to tell someone off -- thanks veteran bad asses for letting me "cyber punch you all in the throat!"

That is a kickass post right there. I don't know what else to say. Keep it up bro.

[n2chukar]

Great vent.

I'm one of those guys that may sound like it is hard at a year. Truth is, its too easy.

First, I create drama because I loved the fight and I now kick the living piss out of the nic bitch by just waking up. What makes it hard at a year? It is just so fucking easy that its boring.

I forgot the journey to get where I am because it isn't dramatic anymore

Comments from a newbie of 16 days like, "I'm just pissed that this dip can't be good for you and it's gone forever." I look at that as funny. Why? Because I once felt that way and today, I am pissed because I don't know why I found any love for dip?

When the first buzz made me nauseous, that should have been my signal to flea the scene of tobacco road. Like you I didn't and I became loyal to something so undeserving of my loyalty.

In the last year quit I saved a couple grand. If I would have done this 10 years ago I would have a 20k gun collection. So If one year is hard to be quit it is because it is so low on drama and really mainly a battle not to lose focus. I don't crave tobacco, I crave the battle you are having.

So probably why I chose to quit another vice.

It does get easier, the fight changes because it gets easier and its weird not to be so dramatic about it.

So I like vents and getting punched in the throat to keep me engaged. The cavers suck ass and bore me because they don't fight, they surrender but a rage and a vent like this. You think the cave police are coming? Thanks you just woke up a bored as shit quitter.

Thanks for the encouragment -- maybe I'm not as crazy as one of me thinks I am.

I forgot the journey to get where I am because it isn't dramatic anymore? Messed up. You can't stand the craving and I can't understand why I don't crave it.

In the last year quit I saved a couple grand. If I would have done this 10 years ago I would have a 20k gun collection. So If one year is hard to be quit its hard because I should have done this a long time ago because it is simple. I am not minimizing what you are doing. It is huge. I never want to be where you are again but I do miss it in a weird way. I don't crave tobacco, I crave the battle you are having. Because I earned my freedom and I was successful. It felt good to claim a win in a tough fight. The fight isn't tough. I don't crave it, I don't want it. My fight is remembering that I am an addict. It sure doesn't feel like I am until I drank or over ate...then I saw my vulnerability to addiction as a whole and my fight was called up to fight varsity vs. JV.

It does get easier, the fight changes because it gets easier and its weird not to be so dramatic about it.

So I like vents and getting punched in the throat to keep me engaged. The cavers suck ass and bore me because they don't fight, they surrender. You rage and vent like this? You arent caving bro, you are kicking her ass! You think the cave police are coming no one thinks you are caving. They see you are fighting. I thank you because you just woke up a bored as shit quitter!

Keep up the fight and feel the burn. One day at a time.

30 year dipper since the age of 12 -- quit once in early 20's, started again in mid 20's until now, age 47.

Long story short, I have quit -- tired of all the shit that goes with it... I have 3 boys and an incredible wife and I'm tired of being a hypocrite.

Hey Chukar,

Thanks for being tough yesterday and being so strong. You have been the rock for me and my quit, and I will do whatever I can to help you out. Why dont you leave work early today and come ride some fat horses with me? Wanna help me get my furs ready for the sale? Anything you need I will be there.
Take care
Justin

Hey, for those on KTC that don't know NV2056, he has been my mentor on the road to quit. He's not only my nephew, but one of the best friends a man could ever have in his life! He stepped out in courage while I waited for him to falter and he didn't! He stood strong like the bad ass quitter that he is! I have followed his example and together we have held strong along with all you other KTC shitters.
I might take you up on hanging with you this afternoon, JP. I'm so proud that you reached 40 days of quit - truly badass! Let's get together and share a dip.... In a hot tub or something like that! :).

Always there for you!

That's the good shit, right there. Proud to be quit with both of you.

[Kdip]

Congrats to both of you for helping each other out and keeping each other accountable for your quits. NEVER again for ANY reason!!!

You never quit before. You took a break. If a person is truly QUIT, then nicotine is not an option. It can never be an option again. See that? It's a mindset. That should be the difference this time. KTC vets and information have taught me the difference. If you read here, and reach out to gather knowledge from those around you, your view of all things tobacco will change. Read my HOF speech. I'll never give a tobacco company another damn dime. Why? Their very existence depends on slowly killing human beings. They enslaved me for many years, and I will never forget that. Use the tools here to build your quit fortress. That's different for every person. Accountability here is strong, but the real key is changing your mindset. Drink the kool aid. Close the door. Burn the bridge. Burn the boat. Whatever it takes to get your mind in the right place.

We are addicts, and with that comes the reality that there is no "just one" for us. Even the smallest hit of nicotine in our systems will send us headfirst back into using. It won't start off light. We go right back to the can/day or 2 can/day hell we were previously living. You knew that already, didn't you?

I also have 3 sons who look up to me. My main purpose on this planet is raising them well and serving as a good roll model. 892 days ago I realized that I had failed up to that point. I fixed that. My wife is my strongest quit advocate. Details there are not up for open discussion.

Never again...... for any reason!!

First off, my aplogies to jhawth25 for highjacking his introduction. 

I was told I should do an introduction.  30 year dipper since the age of 12 -- quit once in early 20's, started again in mid 20's until now, age 47.

Long story short, I have quit -- tired of all the shit that goes with it...   I have 3 boys and an incredible wife and I'm tired of being a hypocrite. 

I've sniveled enough in other posts and basically said some pretty stupid shit.  I read a post and I get pissed off and just fire off some bs post for no apparent reason.  I have "humanized" Copenhagen to the point where I actually view it as a person... you know it was with me when _______________ (pretty much with me for everything).  People talk about triggers...  hell, everything is a trigger for me! 

Right now, at this very moment, doing fairly well, but a few hours ago, I was thanking it was pretty much all bullshit and I'm never going to get over my intense cravings.  I'm still hopefull that I will get over the serious crazy ass desire to dip, but I'm not convinced I will and I'm just accepting that as a possible fact and I'm determined to never dip again even if it means being miserable for portions of my day.

My God, I read what I've written above and I think to myself "what frickin pussy wrote that myopic, martyr type sniveling ass pussy bitch fest?"  At any rate, here is my intro -- I'm 8 days dip free.  Today's in the bag, tomorrow I will be solid, and I'm in this with all of ya.

No 'hope', that's that ugly chick in high school!! Copenhagen is her ugly cousin with crabs! Don't worry about or even think about anything but today. Throw bullshit at all of us if it keeps you quit. We've all been there that's one thing we can handle really well. BTW everything was triggers for us too! I must say that I never thought the triggers would quit, but they are few and far between for me at 327 days. Give me a shout if you need anything.

Chukar,

You are well on your way, my man. Believe it or not, there will be a day very soon where you will joke about you Highjacking JHawk's (we're good like that) Intro. You're not the first to do it. It will be funny very soon and you'll recall it to a guy just like you in the VERY near future. Keep it one minute, hour, 4 hours or half day at a time. Then move to a day at a time. You want to quit and are better than most. You posted your fears and what pisses you off. Hell, we're looking for you. If you don't post that, we'll never help you. Why do we help? Because we are you. We've been there and are one of the few people on earth that can help you. I mean really help you keep your promise every day. Be crazy, nasty and as awful as you want to be. Someone here has seen worse, I promise you that.

You have my number and we've already talked. You know I got you and I won't let you fail. Never again for any reason!

I quit with you today!

Reading your intro is like looking at myself in a mirror around 50 days ago. You are saying the exact things I said. Take a look at my intro if you get a chance. Especially the first 2 weeks. Here are a couple things from where I sit at day 53.


1. It will get better, NO DOUBT.

2. Just make sure you let it, post roll and quit 1 day at a time.

3. Your line about being "miserable" without it....... you ever watch someone go thru chemotherapy? radiation? gum grafts? lower jaw resection? tongue ectomy?
Now we are talking misery chukar. What you and I think we feel about like without nic, that is called an adjustment. 20+ years of poisoning our brain with a neurotoxin and we expect if to get better in a couple weeks. Kind of foolish.

4. Try to learn all you can about the addiction, the more you understand the enemy the better equipped you are to defeat it. The truth is nicotine never did anything good for you. IT IS JUST AN ADDICT LIE. The only thing nicotine did was remove the withdrawal symptoms that nicotine created. In other words, dipping doesn't fill a void, it creates a void.

Keep up the great work man, one day at a time. PM if you need another number. And make sure you get to know a few people in your May group.

Good stuff brother. As i read the part about triggers, I was like hey, that's me. I'm going fishing today. As far as I've ever know, fishing and dipping are the same thing. Is it possible to throw a rod and real without a dip. I guess I'll find out. Keep up the good work, I'm with you brother.
