Welcome Peach fuzz! Check out the Welcome Center to learn how and why we post roll, then find your group. If you quit on the 23rd, you'll reach 100 days quit in December. Get to know these folks and find a way to post or text your promise each day. That's the only rule. Take a look around and read everything you can. Consider fake chew, tooth picks or sugarless gum in addition to the seeds to curb the oral fixation. Try and get plenty of exercise and stay hydrated to help with the physical withdrawal symptoms. When or if things get rough, there's usually someone in the Chat room who knows what you're going through... You'll find a ton of support here but freedom isn't really free, you gotta do your part. Congrats on taking control! Shout out here or send a message if you have any questions.

You've come to the right place. Using this forum is fairly simple. Since you are 48 hours quit find your quit group and post to roll call immediately. Roll call is a pledge not to use any nicotine containing products over the next 24 hours. Roll call is a daily occurrence and is the hallmark of KTC. It works, so just do it. If you feel a cave coming on, PM any of us and we can even trade phone numbers. Yes, it's that important and yes we do care that much.

Went from Ohio to Kentucky for college and brought back a degree and a nasty habit.

Have spent 7 of my 28 years a slave to Peach Timberwolf... Started out something silly and small in the dorm and expanded into various parts of my life - lunch break, driving time, chilling time, waking up, going to bed. It kept carving out it's space in my life. I felt like I was chewing all day but at my peak I was putting down 1+ can a day.

The toughest part of quitting is the association of the habit... I'm playing softball so I should have a dip in... I'm playing video games so i should have dip in... That stuff just feels weird without. I snack on some seeds but I consider myself on a cold turkey quit. My body definitely knows I'm without but the physical withdrawal isn't too much to overcome. The tough part is the lifestyle associations. I should have a fatty in right now since I'm on the computer but I don't.

Bc I'm a quit. Can only claim 48 hours, but it has been in the works and I'm fucking done, for reals. Thanks for this resource - big source of strength for me through this
