Hey Neutralize are you out there quitting still? Not sure since you're not responding to PMs. Do you have other numbers to help with accountability? The more you reach out here among other quitters, the easier it is to succeed. Check in here, with me, or with anyone else you have established connections with.... use the tools, they work! We all want you to succeed but it's in your hands.

Yea man, you need to start posting roll. It's the reason this site works. It's daily accountability.

It might make you feel a lot better if you come clean with your family and your girlfriend.  Great quitters here at KTC recommended that I come clean with the family.  I did and it worked out great. 

My wife and I have gotten closer than ever over the past month.  I always kept a distance from her and our kids so I could have my dip time and not get busted with one in.  I told her I was ashamed of the tobacco and that's why I didn't tell her.

This really resonated with me Griz. I used to be excited when my gf would get in the shower so I could sneak in a dip. It was just a wedge between us.

I'm not sure when I'm going to tell her, but I will. I can see this being a big step in making it through this. Thanks.

She might surprise you and actually appreciate your honesty. Hopefully you want to have her support in this, your final quit.

My wife actually had a dream the other night where she caught me dipping. She said she got so pissed that she grabbed my phone and started texting my KTC contacts that I had caved. Crazy, my wife is having cave dreams for me.

This is your final quit right? The reason I ask is that you haven't already told her. It's kind of like someone saying they are going to quit dipping tomorrow.

Anyway, keep on quitting brother!

I used to get excited when your girlfriend got in the shower too. 'crackup'

JK welcome to the funny farm. You can do this!!!

Thanks guys. Ever time I had that urge, I just came right back here. It got me through the first week. I learned: this sucks, hopefully worth it, and I'm sticking to it (mind-games and all).

Build your network too. Get some numbers, connect with some other quitters who will help you through the hardest of times. PM me and trade numbers if you need to get a start. You also have some good guys in your quit class that you should connect with if you haven't started yet. Keep it going, you're on the right track, learing how to make your quit as strong as possible. It'll take everything you've got at times, so make your preparations now.

The nicotine is out of your system, but it still plays mind games with you. Sometimes the mind games seem like water torture. Beat them down - remember them! You will only have to do this one time!!! Do not ever forget what this was like. The memory will serve as a great motivator for you as the days click by. One day at a time!

Welcome, and congratulations for deciding to take back your life. You are in a period where the addiction fights back very hard. Hang in there, and know that each minute spent tolerating sufferring is another step closer to freedom. This is a scary, evil addiction. When you are up to it, read up on what the addiction does to your neural pathways- as an aspiring doc you'll be amazed how deep it goes. But focus mostly on getting through, day by day. You are earning your freedom back!

Glad to quit with you today!

Welcome... Excellent decision to quit and 7 days is great. One thing, We don't hope here -- we take action and DO.

Drink the KTC kool aid brother. Post roll, keep your word and stay quit today. We focus ODAAT because that is all we control.

Quit with you today.

Hello,

First time poster and first time roller here. I'm 28 and have been chewing since I was 17. I decided to join roll and post this on my 7th day of quit. I guess I thought I'd be out of the woods by now, or at least feeling more in control. But my writing this suggests otherwise. This site has been an inspiration to change my ways. Reading everyone's ordeals reminds me that this a serious fight. The wisdom here is pretty deep, and I hope to continue learning from all of you.

I've been saying "I'll quit soon" for way too long. And before I realized it, or could do anything about it, chew was my life. Completely. And sadly, still is. So I'm here to hopefully change that. I don't know if this is common but only my closest friends know I dip. Dip is the dirty secret I keep from my family and girlfriend. Which makes me feel like crap.

I'm training to be a physician, and seen my fair-share of nasty things. But cancer/heart disease isn't the reason I'm here. My addiction has been like a shadow following me everywhere I go. I just want a life free of dip.

Thanks guys,
N

Welcome! This site will save and change your life. Just a few notes to consider:

1. 11 years of putting poison in your body vs 7 days of freedom. Put it that way, and the way you are feeling makes a little more sense, right? It will get better, one day at a time. I promise.
2. Post roll in the march 2014 group every day first thing when you wake up. Before anything else! Posting roll first thing is the most important thing you will do - it puts your promise to all of the quitters on this site, and most importantly you, that you will not use nicotine today. In exchange, you will get limitless support from this site. Repeat daily. Follow the plan - and you will succeed.
3. Round here, you were what is referred to as a ninja. And you are far from alone. Far. I chewed a can a day for 25 years - my wife probably thought I used a can every 3 or 4 months and was pissed about that. No one else had a clue. There are a lot of ninjas in here.

I'll send you my number in a pm. Click on the inbox to get it. Others will give you good directions on posting roll and getting other contacts. Listen to them. They will save your life.

Last comment - 7 days is bad ass. Congratulations. Remember... One day at a time....
