Just found this godsend tonight

[Scowick65]

So pumped that I found this site tonight!  Read a lot of posts and you all are very inspiring.  I have chewed the last 14 years, it's how I quit smoking after college.  I have been working out the last 10 months.  I have gotten stronger and faster but something was still wrong.  I am still very winded.  One of the guys asked me if I chew.  I was shocked by the question but answered honestly.  He explained that was my problem.  He used to chew and stated that it effects your endurance.  I felt incredibly stupid for not knowing that.  I actually felt sorry for the smokers that joined our Crossfit class.  Thinking they are going to be hurting.  Found a site tonight that broke down the effects of chewing tobacco and running.  Pure shock and anger.  So here I am.....trying to right this broke ass, ignorant ship!

There are a few of us crossfitters and other workout devotees over in the exercise forum come join us. Once you realize all the negatives nicotine provided and start seeing all the positives in being free you will be thrilled not just with how much better working out is but how much better life can be! Advice, post early, get involved on site, drink a lot water and enjoy your freedom.

Join us and quit one day at a time. I see some bad ass quitters have reached out. Man o man. Quitting is the best thing I ever did. You can count on me for assistance. Just shoot me a pm if you need it. Otherwise post roll and quit.

Wow! Thanks for the words! Can't wait to navigate the site on my computer on Monday. No computer at home and using my phone is a bit tougher to find things. Like the fitness group. Already getting a lot of good stuff too. The sunflower seeds have been amazing. Thanks again!

we have a fitness group? i did not know that - how do I find it?

I wish I'd been crossfitting earlier in my quit. A good hard workout is the best thing when the going gets rough. Drink a ton of water and focus on each day at a time.
I'll quit with you all day today.

Branden,
This is from one of my heroes on this site: Wedgie

My man, you are in for a ride. Post roll early in THE day, not early in YOUR day. Get that promise in early and take big nic off the table.

Post roll. Read read read. Water. Read. Walk. Stay busy. Nyquil. Next thing you know Monday is here.

Quit with you.

Branden, Welcome aboard for the best ride of your life! Glad to have you here.
I am quit 9 days. I dipped 30 years. I am an addict and so are you.
You dipped 14 and smoked all through college. You can get your life back. I promise. If I can do it, I believe that you can!
It is very simple, not easy but simple.
Post roll call daily...the earlier the better.
Make your promise to yourself and us that you will not dip today. Your word is good, right?
Keep your word and make it to bed. In the morning REPEAT.
Meanwhile, read everything on this site. You'll be amazed to learn of a host of other physical and mental effects that the nic bitch had on us.
Follow all the advice you can here at KTC.
I really believe in Burning your bridges men! Leave no pilings for the nic bitch to rebuild! Get into the chat room whenever you can. We are here to help you.

Branden keep reading! Post in September. I'm a 38+ yr addict on day 63 of my quit. That shit known as dip, chew or whatever is so evil. The longer I'm quit the deeper my hatred for everything connected to tabacco is. I'm glad to respond to you tonight, I've been dealing with a really bad day today and if I can help or influence you my day will be better. Follow the Welcome CenterFor how to post roll. EMBRACE the suck!!! Pm me if you need help!
