Thank yall. I believe I posted roll correctly today. Cravings are real right now but jolly ranchers seem to help a lot. Some awesome news is I also got my cousin to quit. We both told each other we will never put snuff in again. He's been using for about 30 years so for him to quit is awesome I tell him everything I learn from yall to help him. He can do it I know he can.

Well just got the boat loaded up and headed home from the cabin. Really haven't had too many cravings to put a dip in. Even drank a couple rum and cokes last night on the pier. So far it's going good. GOTTA STAY BUSY.

Thank you for your words Quark. i definitely need to remember to stop worrying so much. the stress is definitely not good for the body and for damn sure doesn't make anything better. Really appreciate you chiming in.
Salty worrying is the way the olé nic bitch tryst trick us back into are old routines, dipping. When really it's the brain starving for nic and trying to fill the void. Hang on to your quit brothers, read, listen and most of all post your promise early each day! I quit with you today!

Anxiety may be the number 1 reason why people don't stop feeding their addiction to nicotine. Here's an ideal drug for making someone rich: market a drug that doesn't cause you to be high or interfere with your cognitive function until you stop using it, and then cause extreme anxiety or even panic attacks. Anxiety is what caused me to cave in every attempt to stop in the past 3 years. Here at KTC you have a bunch of bad ass quitters who stay quit every day because they are willing to face the anxiety, tolerate it, and find better ways to deal with it than take a drug. They face their anxiety without bawling like an infant back to dip, I can do the same.

Nicotine causes brain chemistry changes that effect mood. Once you stop the nicotine, it will take a while for your brain chemistry to go to its normal state. And hell, your brain chemistry hasn't been in its normal state since puberty started.

One smart fellow once asked me 'when has worrying about something ever made the outcome better?'. Answer: never. You are a young man: its time for you to stay quit, and start to knock off this excess worrying about things. Your worry doesn't make the outcome better, so find something else that does.

Hows it going guys Im new to this and honestly not really sure how this whole forum thing works. Im 23 years old, just got married in April and put a house up on some land with my wife. Hunting and fishing is my #2 next to my wife of course who is #1. But those numbers can be switched at times haha.

Well I started using snuff when i was 12 years old, but wasn't really steady till i was about 15 or so. now at 23 i have been going through about a can and half a day until now that is. im ready to start this journey and from what im seeing everyone here on KTC makes it a lot easier to do. So guys im here for yall's help. Lets do this!

Another thing about me is i worry a lot and get anxiety. yesterday was my second day into this quit and on my way home from work started overthinking about things and started panicking a little bit. Thats when i decided its time to become a member of KTC and talk to folks That have gone through same situations.


Im Ready to KTC,

Ty
Welcome Ty, glad to have you aboard. There is no "magic pill" about KTC. Rather it offers you the pathway to be successful in quitting nicotine. First thing is to post roll everyday. You'll do that here: topic/11203031/233/#new

By posting roll, you are promising yourself and the 24,000 other quitters on this site that you will not use nicotine in any form today. Keep your promise that day, then move onto the next. It's that simple. However, simple does not mean easy. These first few days are going to be tough, but it won't kill you. Nicotine probably will though. So tough it out these first few days. It's worth it on the other side. I'm only on day 15 today, but I already feel like a completely different person. I'm taking my freedom back today, I encourage you to do the same.

King
Thank you for the words and a reply. Ive done many of mini quits in the past but this time i have a hold of the handle bars and along for the ride ready for whatever comes. Just Looking forward to talking with people that are going through the same stuff. This is going to be my quit! Not just another stop.

Congrats on your 15 days!! That's great keep it up ill be there in 13 more days. So far these two days been decent just very tired and a anxiety spell yesterday.
Just keep on pushing through. Quitting will not kill you. It may feel awful at times, but that's your body reaping the battle spoils of the wins your brain is racking up. Don't worry about the next 13 days, just worry about today. It can start to feel too monumental when you think about quitting any longer than today. The motto here is we quit one day at a time (ODAAT). That's it. Even guys that are 1,000 days quit still only quit for today. Tomorrow we'll wake up and see where we land. I'm quit for today, and you posted your promise that you are today as well. Let's get to keeping those promises. Welcome aboard.
Thank you sir! Main thing with me is i gotta stay busy when i get bored is when the cravings hit and the fuzzy head. Have you had any problems with your gums/cheek since your quit? ive had white bump come up on front lip and whole cheek turned white on side i held snuff. Im sure its been like that just never cared had my head too far up my a@# with a lip full and never payed attention.
Thank you for being here honestly it feels great taking to someone going through and or has been through what i am.
I didn't have any white stuff. My gums and cheeks were sore for sure for the first week or so, and it still comes back every once in a while. Other guys might chime in here, but it might make you feel better to go see the doc and get it checked out.

Definitely stay busy, it helps keep your mind off it, but also keeps your blood pumping which gets the nicotine out of your system.
