I have been chewing for over 8 years. I quit for 3 months and started again during a heavy bout of depression. Now I am chewing 1 to 2 cans a day. I have Insomnia so I have one in my mouth 24/7 it seems. I need to quit. I would like to have some tips or advice on how others have quit. I'm tired of this controlling my life and it is. Any help would be appreciated. Thank-you.

dgosard,
There is no such thing as i think. Just remember you only have to quit for one day. Then you post roll and quit for that day. I had a fear of the one day at a time thing, but as you can see it really works. Just stay with it. Post roll everyday. The bitch will argue and fight with you just never let her back in your life. We are all too good for that whore.
One Day at a time is Awesome!!!!

Thanks for all the help, support and humor. It's been 3 days and I am pretty cranky, but I'm doing ok. I have a little more help and motivation this time around so I think I can do it. Amazing how jumpy I am one minute and sleepy the next.

Thanks for all the advice. i haven't had a chance to get back on here, but i will try to figure out the roll, etc. I have been clean since 11:00 pm on 9/29. It's not easy and I am avoiding everyone I know right now...But I plan on doing it for good this time. Also, I am a female!!
Oh boy. Female you say? I regret my earlier outburst and will have to change my tone.

Listen up little hoochie momma. We post roll everyday. Don't mess with the system. You just jumped into a snake pit of pain. If you're willing to fight to stay clean, I don't care if you wear high heels and skirt or a pink jump suit or a naughty nurses outfit...you'll get the finest support day and night that you can find. It doesn't matter if you have a penis between your legs or no penis between your legs or the thing Gmann has, a quitter is a quitter. But it requires posting roll everyday.

Oops... I guess that's what I get for making assumptions. Sorry about that - I was just a little disappointed when I checked and you hadn't been back.

It's good to hear that you started on schedule and are sticking with it. Hang in there - it's worth it! Reach out if you need anything; there are hundreds of people on this site who have been where you are now and made it through.

Welcome dgossard and congratulations on quitting. You can do this! It will not be easy these first few days, but remember them and know that you never have to repeat them.

your quit group=January 2012. this is where you will post roll.

how to post roll call

Post roll each day as the first thing- that is your promise to all of us that you will not use.

glad to be quit with you,

30

... and 'tomorrow' didn't work. The dude never even came back to read the responses to his post. The only sure way to quit is to spit the shit out right NOW.

Tomorrow is my quit date. I have chewed heavily for 8 years and i haven't been able to quit on my own. Many of my friends and family members chew so I am around it all the time. I need some positive encouragement to get this done. I don't understand this site yet, so any help would be appreciated.
Dude.... ---JUST QUIT!

There is NO Tomorrow---that is the addict speaking----Man UP, QUIT NOW and POST ROLL. You can do this!

Let me give you the Idiot's Guide to KTC: we quit today.

How?

1. Grab balls (if present).
2. Post roll (see welcome center in the upper left)
3. Keep you word all day (integrity).
4. Come back tomorrow and repeat (ground hog it).

So, to summarize...if you really focus on step one, you will see there is a prerequisite of having balls....backbone per se. So, if you feel that have the grandes juevos to partake I say "Have at it Hoss". If you would like those raisins to become giant quit balls of steel, I suggest the same.

One question for you: Can you give me any good reason why you can't spit the shit out right now and get started?
I agree. Go have your "ceremonial" last dip right now with a beer, after sex...whatever your grand vision is.

I made a habit of having a start date tomorrow. It NEVER worked!

Quit right now.
There is no tomorrow here. It never comes. Today. 1 day at a time. Today. Flush your dip and post roll.

This how you do it: index.php?showtopic=50

This is where. index.php?showtopic=5270
