Need Help

[cpavelek]

I would like to thank all of you for your support, wisdom, and knowledge. Im here to stay and continue this life long process. At some point i hope to support others in their need to quit, but for now its going to take all i have for awhile.

Cpave,
Welcome to KTC go to the welcome center like Slim said. First of all you/we need to fine tune your verbiage. You have never quit before you had a stoppage. You didn't go into a rut you caved pure and simple. You have to admit you are an addict just like everyone here on this site. The difference between us and crack whores is the legality of the substance you like me are addicted to nicotine. That was probably one of the hardest parts of the quit is acceptance that I am an addict... I wasn't a was I am an addict and always will be there is no just having one.

Posting roll is the cornerstone of what we do here. It holds us accountable to ourselves as well to others. We give our word each day that we will not use nicotine in any form for today only. Wake tomorrow and repeat.

Understand that this is a NICOTINE free site. DO NOT DO NOT post roll while using.

PM me if you need help

You only fooled yourself into thinking you love chewing. I thought the same thing, but you will realize, that you have trained yourself to equate chewing with satisfaction, but that only happened because you have an addiction, and the chew satisfied the withdrawal symptoms. THese realizations will come to you, along with your freedom. Just stick with the plan. Post roll promising you will stay quit for today. Keep your word. Repeat.

Will do learn about roll call. I never realized how difficult it would be to quit. I luv Chewing, but after 20years my time will be up, health problems will occur and knock on wood, im lucky they have not. Thanks for the message and info.

What exactly do you love about it? The way it smells,, smells like skunk poop. The way it tastes,, tastes like death. The way it looks,, looks like dirt in a can. Your addicted to one of the most addictive drugs known to man. Your reward pathways have been high jacked and have made you believe a lie. There is nothing to love about the poison. Welcome to the quit brother.

attempting to quit for the last 3 with some success

You've never had success, or you wouldn't be here.

Start reading and learning about your addiction. Learn why your addicted and feel the way you do. Learning this enemy will help you.

Go to welcome center (top left) and read how and why we post roll. Pay particular attention to why. Posting roll and making a promise daily is the backbone of this site and has helped 1000's quit for good. If I can do it you can. One day at a time and you can have back a lot of what the poison has stolen. Never again for any reason and you can keep it.

I have a suggestion for you, also. Research addiction. Then research nicotine. Then search for cancer scares here on KTC (Mine is posted in my Intro thread...) Google oral and throat cancer pics. Then, ask yourself if you really love chewing, or if you were merely verbalizing an addiction-based thought.

Glad you are here. There are many guys and girls here that will selflessly help you at every turn. Listen to the veterans. They have walked the walk and know the "path to quit", and just as importantly know the "pathS to avoid". Note the difference between the singular and plural use of "path" in the preceding sentence. Give that some thought.

You made a great step forward by joining and posting your Intro thread!! A 10,000 mile journey begins with a single step. You've already made the first step. Now, put the other foot down and step again. Repeat. Keep stepping forward. Welcome! 'oh yeah'

Ive chewed on and off for 20 years. Have been attempting to quit for the last 3 with some success but i keep falling back into that rut.. Any suggestions

Congratulations on quitting, and finding this place.
Yes, I have a suggestion for you. Go to the pink "Welcome Center" button. Read everything. Learn why we post roll. Learn how to do it. Then do it.
Admit, like I had to, that we can't do it on our own, and join us here. Be a student of how to quit the KTC way. It works.
