NEW QUITTER

[Timeless117]

DAY 1 was a success. Went the whole day without nicotine, thought I was going to kill somebody though. Couldn't fall asleep for shit and Woke up today earlier than I have in the last few months. Plus my phone just decided it doesn't want to get past my startup screen...just wondrous....fuck. Staying nic free though!!! I will not cave!!!

Damn straight you won't cave. You're already one day too far to even think of turning back now. I was in your shoes 629 days ago on day 1 now day 2. I remember what you're going through. But let me tell you, it gets easier and a lot better.

I was 14 when I started. Grizzly Wintergreen was my dip of choice. 12 years later and I'm quit. Don't let these next 4 years go by with you dipping. I'm turning 28 on Saturday of next week. It's going to be my second birthday quit. And it feels freaking awesome.

The sleeping will get better. Can't tell you when as its different for everybody. But it will. Go to a CVS or something and pick up some Melatonin or Valerian Root. It'll help you get to sleep.

Have you posted roll yet? Click on the welcome center link at the top and learn to post roll. Go hang out in live chat. You'll meet a lot of badass quitters there. I lived there my first few weeks. Shit I still do. Post in the wildcard section. Get involved with somebody newer than you. The more you're involved in the site, the greater the chance your quit will stick. That is a guarantee right there. All you need to do is work at it.

Awesome intro. Make sure you post every day. This is going to suck for a few days. In fact it will be shitty shitty shitty so posting roll keeps you quit thru the suck. Once you post roll you can't dip. Roll is a promise from you to us that you will not use any form of nicotine all day. Pm me if you need anything. I am addicted to being quit and I quit with you, you badd ass!

From what I have seen on here, The shit hasn't even hit the fan yet! Good looks on all the help!

That's what I get for responding before reading everything from the day.

You get ONE intro!!!

I just read the ACTUAL intro. Quit on, youngster!!

I knew I was doing something wrong right away! Dammit. Lol, from now on I'll just post on my ACTUAL Intro labeled: "NEW QUITTER"

Thank you though!!

Welcome, you'll find support for quitting, information, entertainment, but not much sympathy or tolerance for failure. Basically don't screw up and chew! Before you do that call a member of your quit group (get numbers, they'll PM them on over if you ask), send PM, respond to someone's intro like i'm doing, go into the chat room and wait for someone to join in if it's empty. The site is amazing for help it can be for you.
Update your intro from time to time to let the guys know what's up. My tip: post roll early, that way you won't stop by the convenience store on the way to work for a can.

Well, today was my first day quit!! And I am proud to report that I have been nicotine free all day!! Went to Wal-Mart today to get some alternatives for myself and picked up 5 huge bags of seeds and the rest of their "Smokey Mountain" to help get me through these days! Oh, and my first day posting roll was a success!! Already getting help from a bunch of people! I knew this was the place to go! Thanks already!

Not to be the ass (those usually come after me, and I'm sure they will,) but that was a really pretty intro. It was just a little too pretty. You never gave anybody a chance to verbally and/or physically lambaste you in all the ways that new quitters typically are. You even nailed all the topics that were soon to be addressed by the vets on here.

But even though you nailed all the "bullet-proof vest" items, you failed to mention why you wanted to quit. Your intro was too pretty. Make it ugly so we can empathize with you.

Personally, I believe you probably found a decent alias for a previous quit on KTC, knew all the questions to all the answers, and decided to go pretty with this new quit. It was just too pretty. No dipper is that happy to quit. Tell us about yourself, even if you're a sorry, previously-caving quitter. (we are all sorry quitters, BTW. We all know that. But we gained integrity in that quit.) Join us, but make that quit ugly. We enjoy your anguish. It helps us.

Good job and welcome to KTC! We are some bad ass quitters here! Sounds like you will fit in. Spend as much time as you can reading, and get acquainted with how and why we do things the way we do. 40000 have come before us so the method works. Never again for any reason.... NAFAR!

Hello everyone! My name is Jordan, I'm 23 years old and I have been addicted to chewing for 8 years now. Well, until today that is!! 'flush' Let's get into that a little bit of how I started, from what I can see that's a little bit how we do this!?

Well, I guess I'll just start the first day I ever had a dip. I was a 15 year old sophomore in High School. I had just got done with baseball practice (what a surprise haha), and my best friend, who was 17 at the time, and I went back to his house. While on the way home, he asked me,"Have you ever tried dipping?" I of course say no. But knowing that my friend had done it, I asked to see it, I can still remember the scent, Grizzly Wintergreen, looked at him looking "cool" because he was dipping and threw one in my mouth. I can still feel the high that I got when I was sitting in his room, and I was hooked.

Then all throughout high school, I would buy chew and hide it from my parents. I did everything I could to get a little dip in without them knowing. Taking my tins, hiding them in my own bathroom under towels, in my room between my bed and my frame. Anywhere I could keep it until I knew I was alone. Not to mention they always found them. Turned 18, and of course it was out of their control and I was buying my own like I had been for the last 3 years.

Fast forward another 5 years to where we are now. I am just sick of this damn bitch controlling my life. I don't even like taking them anymore but I couldn't help it. It was such a habit it almost was natural for me to just throw one in. Then I found this site a couple of days ago and bam, I made the decision for June 1st to be my first day in the quit!! FUCK THIS NICOTINE WHORE!! I DON'T NEED THIS BITCH ANYMORE!!

P.S. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I just signed up today and in doing so I want today to be my first day quit!!

Sorry if it's lengthy! I look forward to taking this crazy shit on with you all and not alone finally!!

I've been a smoker on and off for 24 years but what is different this time is I finally realize it's not a bad habit. I am an addict. I'm a nice girl, good mom... I'M NOT AN ADDICT!

Oh yes I am.

Embrace now that you are an addict an that this isn't just a "bad habit" and one day at a time you can be free.

I'm quit with you today.

LHG speaking the truth. Welcome to quit.
