New Guy

[Buddy Mac]

Hi,

I've been thinking all morning of what to say to this board. As you can see, I posted here back in 2010. Just about this time two years ago, actually, was the start of what I'd hoped was my lifelong quit from dip.

After graduating, I came back home. I'll tell you, nothing was as hard as staying quit during college finals. I persevered, and made it home without a lick of nic in my body.

Since then, I broke my quit, and stopped posting. I was ashamed, and still am. I'm back now because I am so sick of what I'm doing to my body and my wallet.

I want this to be over. I remember those nights during my first 'quit', and how I'd wake up in a cold sweat every night. I have to admit, I'm concerned with losing sleep again, but I know if I surround myself with positive people, and work through it, I can get over chew for good.

I want to kick my own ass for getting back into it, but it's time I get this shit-monster off my back for good.

I'll be posting for the August pre-HOF boards, come say hi.

Thanks,


Will

Way to familiar sound of........ I thought I had this licked and stayed away from the site......

You know there is a guy on here who has as part of his signature ..."You are not here by accident"

I wonder how many of us addicts think after we get to 100 days think they are cured and will be back like this guy???

I dont know you but I do know your addiction, you know the drill.

Post in August and your former group and be prepared to hear whats comming.....

What Happened?

Why Did it Happen?

What are you going to do Different?

Thanks, Griz.

Steve:
I was quit for just two months when it happened, but a friend of mine offered me a chew. I told him I'd been quit for a while at that time, and we left it at that. Five minutes pass, and I asked myself what it could hurt. I grabbed the tin and threw one in. It was the dumbest thing I could have ever done. Since then, I ripped a tin every couple of days.

The thing that's been different for me, especially in recent months, is that all of my friends that used to chew, have found ways to knock it off. One friend in particular has made a point to call me out every time he sees me with a chew. I haven't told him I started my quit today, but I'll be telling it to him in person tonight.

I will tell you this: Driving into work today without chew or spitters in my car was a pretty nice feeling. I feel better than I usually do after taking a horseshoe out of my mouth before the walk into the building.

You can't quit because your friends did, or your wife or kids want you too, You have to QUIT for you. Welcome back if you are truly ready to quit. What is different than two years ago.

So the factor that is going to keep you quit is that none of your friends chew. That would mean that the reason you failed last time is because your friends chewed.

Thats bullshit. There will always be people around you chew or use nicotine. You caved because of your own choices. No one forced you to cave.

Here's some better ideas on how to make this quit different:

Post roll daily- 46 post and quit for two months. Does not seem like you were to active.

Exchange #'s with fellow quitters. Instead of being a vagina and putting a dip in the first time some offers you one, text or call a brother to reinforce your quit.

Become more active on the boards. You will not find a better support system then KTC. But you have to commit 100%. Posting roll every few days and dissappearing is not 100% commitment. Build relationships with your quit brothers.

The fact is that if every person you know chews or if no one you know chews should not effect your quit at all. A set of balls is all you need to stay quit. You showed us last time that you did not have any. Its now up to you too prove that you do.

You will get railed until you post up a plan to keep from failing again will.

I truly hate to see this happen when someone quits then gets complacent and caves.....

I will say this I had stoped before without the help of this site I had even managed to stay that way for over a year then I thought hell one wont hurt.......

I think back to that stupid kid and think DUMBASS!!!

I have been quit now for 95 days for me and there is NO turning back!!!

I can and will offer you some numbers to help you but you have to show you have the resolve and determination to quit!

Hey guys,

I've been thinking about quitting for a while now, and decided today was the day.
I have been chewing like a fiend for a few years now, and have decided that I'm done with spending money on it. I chew mostly when I study and play video games, also during hockey season, but that's winding down as well.
I don't want to be a statistic. I want to get this shit out of my system now, and I wanted to start before I graduate college in May.
I've read some tips on quitting here, and you better believe I'll be getting some seeds after class. I don't know what else to write, but any suggestions on how to make quitting easier, especially during finals time, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Welcome aboard William! First things first - realize that there is nothing easy about quitting nicotine. It's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

You have to be 100% committed to quitting. You have to fully buy into the fact that nicotine will not help you with your studying or whatever else is causing you stress. There are always other options. Go for a walk, a run, a fuck....just don't use nicotine. All those things that used to require a chew - you can and will do those things nicotine free.

And only worry about today. Better yet, only worry about making it through your next crave. One at a time.

Me, I've been quit 681 days. I can guarantee that I'll stay quit today because I've given my word by posting roll. I'd like to think I'll continue that trend tomorrow, but I'll deal with tomorrow when it comes.

Anyone can quit for a single day. Go post roll in the July 2010 pre-HOF group. You'll screw up the first time, but those guys will help you out.

Couldnt have put it any better. Caveing wont make anything any better, remember that. Just stay strong and focused, and stay true to your self, and to the group. GOOD LUCK

[loot]

even LOOT can quit for a single day
