Quote from: Zam
There's some great advice in these posts, and you'll find a ton more by poking around the site - do so when you start freaking out and patting your empty pockets.

Since srans already covered the fact that you had never been quit before, I'll leave that be. Maybe that's his pet peeve. MY pet peeve is the use of the word "luck" in reference to staying quit. I know luck has nothing to do with quitting - making a decision not to put that shit in your mouth has everything to do with quitting. There is no luck needed. I was about to assume that you knew about the "luck" myth and really meant that a quitter gets lucky and avoids that worst parts of withdrawal and craves. But in my short time here, I don't think ANYONE has escaped those things. I can't think of a single person that came here and got "lucky" and avoided the foggy hell and craves. Not one person. Not one of us got "lucky". So I don't think there is any "luck" to be had in that respect. Quitting is tough, but it is simple-- Choose not to dip.

The good news is this, brother: We know what you are going through. We know what you are gonna go through. We know the BS excuses that your mind will conjure up to to "justify" a dip. We've been there. And we're here to watch your back. And we, I, KNOW it's worth it. Jump in with both feet, Drink the kool aide, etc. PM me if I can help.
My thoughts exactly! Quit today with me.

Hey Hidust. Congratulations on making the smartest decision of your life...quitting. You have been offered some great advice by our brothers already, so I will just welcome you and tell you that your Quit group is August. You posted Day 1 in May...after all, it is May!...but the group you will celebrate your Hall of Fame introduction with on your 100th day of freedom will be August. I already fixed everything and wanted to extend to you a resounding WELCOME to the KTC community. Stay focused, committed, continue to post roll each day and let this program work for you. If you need to rage, vent or just talk to someone, try out the Live Chat. You will find brothers there that have all been through what you are experiencing, as well as other new members who are going through it right now. Welcome aboard.

PM me if you need my number

I quit with you today
T
you need this number. You might not know it yet but this offer of a phone number could be what saves your quit when it gets to the point where quitting isn't new or fun anymore...

mine is yours for the asking too, I'm going to ask for yours in return. that can be a bit much to deal with on day one but the offer stands. getting and giving our phone numbers makes your quit and mine stronger. when you're ready, shoot your number to me via pm, you'll get mine back.

edit: I've never stalked a fellow quitter or tired to text naked photos of myself, I can't speak for these other guys though... :D

Well, it's day one of my quitting. Probably like most of you I used dip as a coping mechanism, an "enjoyable" stress reliever etc for 12sh years (28 years old). I have quit before but always came back. But I am seeing now I am just killing myself slowing when I have so much to look forward to in life. I've noticed some white bumps on the inside of my lip, and while I hope it's not to late to avoid cancer etc, I am done with it. Things I have going for me are a loving family who supports me and is aware I am quitting along with good friends and coworkers. I am a big gym rat and I am hoping spending time in there will help me break myself of this. Will be on here to ask advice from serious hard quitters and probably vent my frustrations. Goodluck to those who are in the same boat as me, and goodluck to those who have quit and are staying off it..I know this is a long fight. I've just realized life's worth it. (And cancer scares me) -hidust
Hidust, welcome to KTC. Day one, well you have a pretty interesting road ahead of you.

First things first I would go to my dentist and get your mouth checked out. If it is pre-cancer or some other shit why wait, I would get it looked at quick. Now, remember it turns out your mouth is good it's not an invitation to start chewing again. Thats what the nic bitch will tell you. She will say see it was nothing now come back to me.

GYM, is great, it got me through some serious times. If you can't take a breath you cant crave right? Weights running whatever works for you do it and keep doing it.
get your stuff together, seed fake, gum candy whatever you need. Water, drink so much water if you pass a bathroom without pissing it's not enough.

Other than that reach out if you need anything we are here for you. Your surrounded by a bunch of bad ass quitters. I quit with you today.
Just wanted to piggy back kk here. Get to the dentist and get checked. It is not worth walking around all scared about nothing and if it did turn out to be something,, the earlier the better.

One thing about quitting is getting your mind right. Realizing the facts will help your quit.

You stated before that you have quit before. You've never quit,, you might have taken a break, but you never quit. Your quitting now though and thats the key.

You stated that dip was enjoyable,, it was never enjoyable. It made you think you were enjoying it. There is nothing to enjoy about it. It has stolen your freedom,, costed you countless dollars and now it causing you to question your health. It has made you think it was helping with stress, when in fact you were having withdraws, during stressful situation.

Not trying to pick your post apart, just showing the addiction for what it is. It really helped me with my quit when I found out the truth. Read over all the material on the sight,, get to know your enemy for what it is. It has done nothing good for you. You've decided to take your life back and the beginning of that is to get your mind right.

Glad to be quit with you. PM me if you need another number.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.
