The Liar

[wastepanel]

So, no posts in 2 days?

Last activity 2/23/13?

At least your introduction thread title was accurate.

This really makes me upset as your words drew out a bunch of big hitters to help you. You had the world and your quit where you wanted. I hope you're still quit and not choosing to fail.

Embrace the suck. You should always remember this day so that when the nic bitch comes calling later, you will know what you have to go thru, again, if you give in. This is the price we pay for years of putting that crap in our mouth. Every day gets better, but you need to focus on today and embrace the suck.

This made my day, quitter. Good post. I kept a spitter on my desk for many a year. I live woderfully now that it's gone. Good work.

Hi all. I wanted to post a brief followup to my introductory post. First and foremost I was impressed with the amount of support I received from my initial foray into the KTC world. I got several private messages, as well as replies to the post itself. My schedule is hectic, and i dont have time yet to reply to all my messages, so if you sent me one know that it was read, and appreciated. Some were friendly, some were "harsh", all were supportive. No matter what the tone of the messages and repkies where they all contained one resounding message: QUIT NOW, RIGHT NOW, dont wait. My initial plan was to quit when i ran out of the dip I had already purchased. After reading and thinking about what you vets had to say I made a decision, to dump the shit down the toilet. The morning after I posted I stood before the shitter, and dumped two and a half cans of grizzly. Gone. I realized that by "waiting until I ran out" I was still hanging on, placing a value on dip that it absolutely does not deserve. So, it begins. Work sucked on day 1, work is where i use 2/3 of my dip. Its going to take time to adjust to that. Today is day 2, and so far my morning has been hell. To not roll out of bed and see my can and spitter waiting on me provoked a feeling of loss. Then I reminded myself that im losing nothing in quitting, but regaining my life. I resolve to face this challenge with a mental toughness that I know resides in me. Thanks for reading.

One day at a time is all that is asked. Don't get to far ahead of yourself or your quit. Quit today, come back tomorrow and do the same. Proud to be quit with you today. QLF today

I'm on day 8 and I quit with you brother. Day two was the roughest for me. Get through today for you and I will take this to the end brother. Trust me, day 7 was so much easier than day 2. It gets better.

Way to go, my man!  Proud to be quit with you.  We'll do it again tomorrow.

GREAT decision Foundry!!! One day at a time, bro. DONT allow yourself to think about forever, or a year, or even tomorrow. Just make it thru today with no nicotine, whatever it takes. Things that help me get thru are staying busy, exercise, fake chew, sunflower seeds, gum, and jolly ranchers.
PM me if I can help in any way or if you need a phone number.

If you need anything at all, pm me.

You got the world by the short and curlies now bud. Hold on, cause it's a great fucking ride.

Awesome news

You guys are awesome!  The support that is on this site is second to none.  In the two pages of responses are very similar words from guys that are only a few months into their quit to many years quit.  Nice work, boys.  I'm going to put a different spin on it.

This guy is planning on quitting over the weekend when he can hole up at home and not have the stress of the Boss riding his ass or running machines without a lip full of poisen.  Thing is, as we all know, he'll hit day three and have to go back to work.  Do we all remember day 3?  I do!  The suck was buried so far up my ass that all I could do was walk in circles mumbling to myself about what I was supposed to be doing.  I thought I was going fucking batshit crazy.  "Hey bud, can I bum a dip from you?"  "I quit on Friday like a dumbass and need to find a better week to quit." - Monday's quote from Flounder. 

This is to you Flounder.  I'm usually the guy that would PM you when you're getting your ass kicked in here and tell you that it's going to be okay, give you my number and say, "I got your back through this."  Not today.  I too have seen too many of you drive by quitters.  I'm okay with that because you make my quit stronger.  And, more importantly, you are lying to yourself and your girl.  The one you say you love.  At some point you are either going to lie to her one too many times and she'll leave you. Or she'll hang around, maybe even marry you.  You'll keep shoveling cancer causing poisen into your face and you'll your body will finally give up and welcome the cancer in.  If you don't die, you'll lose half your face and then your girl will leave you.  What you have to think about now is me being the next guy in line for her.  I don't lie to her, I'll take care of her and be there for her and the kids that we're going to have.  Taking vacations together, teaching our kids how to play ball, read, do Algebra......all that shit that you should have been doing but a little can of poisen was more important to you than the life you could have had.  Enjoy your next dip and I wish you well. 

Post roll when you're serious and never look back!  I'll be the one standing in the corner of the room waiting to tell her, "I told you so."

QUIT!! Right now. Right this very minute. If you have come back to read this, then your mind is in the right place. Seize that opportunity to catch the addiction by surprise. Get up from that keyboard, round up every can you have within walking distance (vehicles, too), go dump it in the nearest toilet, flip nicotine the finger, and then flush it. Don't put it in the trash can, or dump it in the yard. That shit is recoverable. We all know that you'll be digging and scraping that shit up before supper time. Then you'll be lying about why you've scattered trash all over the place. Probably something like losing a receipt or maybe a pen. Yeah, I've been there. I live 10 miles from the nearest store, so I speak from experience. I'm not proud of that fact.

Besides, if you plan to quit later, your brain plans for that. Your anxiety will increase. That means your nicotine intake will increase. For the 24 hours before your planned quit, you'll be at an all-time high level of nicotine in your system. You might as well start a damn IV. What does all this mean? If it's even possible, your withdrawals are gonna be even more severe than if you quit right now. Planned quits fail.

All of the above comes from first-hand failures in my past. Don't make excuses here, because they will not fly. You cannot bullshit a room full of bullshitters. We are serious about two things: quitting and helping others quit.

Glad you are here. Now I'd like to see you take effective action. Reach out if you need anything. THere is much support here.

Tic-toc, man. Tic-toc. Time is wasting.

A wise, seasoned quitter brought up a good point recently: if you really think about it, the argument can be made that there is one single dip that gives an addict cancer. Just one. There is breaking point. There is a point in time that if you quit, your body will flush completely and no permanent damage has been done. But, one more application of poison will be more than the sytem can overcome. There is no return from that point without serious, agonizing medical procedures and months (if not years) of suffering, and accelerated demise. So, with that said, there is that ONE DIP that kills a person.

Have you taken that one dip since you posted an intro? Have you taken that one dip since all of us dropped by to help you? Will you take that one dip before your magical unicorn quit day arrives?
