Tomorrows Monday; Quitting again

[Brandonlear]

I appreciate the warm welcome fellas! Just woke up here in Ohio, so everyone knows what they do first thing in the morning- pack a big ole chaw. Only this time I'm going to be packing some Hooch herbal snuff. I really hope I can get used to the texture as the last time i tried it I nearly threw up.

Good choice Brandon,

I am also in your February quit group. I am on day 22, and feel better than I have in years. The first week is really bad. stick with it, it does get better. I am by no means through the woods yet, but I can definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel. For the first week my anxiety was through the roof. This is normal. Lean on this community, and make sure you are open with your friends and family about your struggle. You will probably be on edge, and turn into a bit of an ass for the first week It helps a lot if people know why, and can help you through it. For years I would try to quit by myself because I was hiding my addiction from my wife. This time it feels completely different. I have my wife and this community in my corner. I don't have to do it alone. Post role every day. It is amazing how making that commitment works to keep us accountable.

You are going to kill it!

Brandon awesome decision to quit. I think many people, myself included, wish they had found this site and decided to stop this addiction at such a young age. You sir are doing yourself a huge favor and will never look back and regret quitting this habit so early in life. I see you found your quit group and have posted up.

Remember posting roll daily is a requirement. It is your reminder to yourself of the commitment you have made. It is a pledge to this in quit with you that you are quit with them and have their back just as their roll says they have yours.

Odd as it may sound, get digits of those quitting with you (seemed weird to me at first but my month got a groupme rolling and it's helped out as well as provides some laughs).

Battle through this one day at a time (ODAAT) and forever isn't such a daunting task.

It is going to suck, that part I won't deny. Have a plan. Use seeds, fake dip, paper towel, grass clippings.... Whatever you need to get through a crave (yes those last two have been put in a lip to pass a crave by some).

Lastly drink a lot of water, flush that poison from your system.

I quit with you and welcome!

Welcome Brandon! You can do this and you seem ready. The first thing to do is to flush that poison that you threw in the trash. Your mind is going to play tricks on you as begin your quit journey and the nic bitch has had many a young quitter sort through the trash to retrieve a can for "just one more". That's not you! She still whispers to me form time to time, but I promise you and all my KTC family that I am quit for the day. Get on roll and make your promise Brandon.

Like Nomore recommended - read as much as you can on the site

Congratulations! A couple thoughts.

You, like me, are an addict. Nicotine is not a habit. That is why such a simple thing as not stuffing your face with tobacco is so hard to do.

Anxiety can be part of the symptoms you face when you quit... be aware of that. It is normal. See a doctor and get help if needed.

Join the February 2016 quit group and post roll there. Roll is your daily promise to use no nicotine for 24 hours. Post roll every day.

Exchange digits with those quitters, make sure eachother post roll and support eachother on craves.

Use the tools on KTC, read everything, use the live chat, and get through today without nicotine.

So as I'm sitting here watching Law and Order, it hits me for the second week in a row, I AM going to quit. This will be the third time I've tried although the past two times haven't been much of an effort. I had my first dip when I Camel Snus pouch when I was 13, first long cut pinch at 16, and a month before my 18th birthday, I started my habit. I've now been on it for two and a half years and its time to kick it. I struggled with anxiety severely in the past and I believe that's why I turned to tobacco/nicotine. Anyways, my name is Brandon and I'm from Southeastern Ohio. I look forward to speaking with many of you and making some friendships as well. Tomorrow will be day one, Hooch Herbal Snuff will be my daily until my Grinds gets here. I also plan on doing a daily VLOG on YouTube for at least the first 30 days. My channel name is Lear216, feel free to subscribe and have a laugh or two. The newly bough can of Cope Straight Cancer Blend is going in the trash. I'm finally going to kick it!

I AM STRONG!
I AM DETERMINED!
I AM QUIT!! 'Remshot'
