Day 2

[Dawgs]

Still hanging in there.  I think I had a few urges yesterday while watching football, but just threw in some fake stuff and moved on.  I keep telling myself in my head why do I think I need nicotine....I dont...I think the habit part is worse for me....and that I treat with seeds and fake stuff.  I have been reading alot in forums in the past couple of days and info on stayquit.com.  Everyday for me I go to Todd Garcia's post and read and re-read to keep me motivated.  I am still a little spooked I havnt been hit with a big urge...but ODAAT.

Remember..you are learning to live all over again now. Learning to live without this crap that we used for EVERYTHING. Each day, you retrain your brain just a little bit more. Hang in there. You may never get hit with a huge urge, but most likely, you will and it will be later when you think you have everything under control. Those are the most scary ones. Never let your guard down. Not for one second.

I went to the corner store today.  Yep the same one I have been going to for years for buying snuff.  I got a weird ass look from the clerk when I walked up to the counter with 3 bags of Old bay seasoning seeds.  He was automatically getting ready to ring up a roll of Grizzly when I told him no, just the seeds.  He said no Grizzly, and I replied not today...I quit.

day 5...still going well...getting a little scared because no big craves have hit me.  Again maybe my desire to just be done with this shit is higher than the tobacco talking to me.  I want to throw a  shout out to chris, keith, kuda and all the others who have sent support via messages or texts.  Ill add more later but need to go make the wife some breakfast.  peace out.

It’s like a anti nicotine Adrenalin that kicks in...it’s like a mindset that lets it out, a want, a hunger, roar of life that takes over. In my 36 days so far that intensity has waxed and waned but the fire continues to be lit to be quit with all the BAQ in here no matter what ODAAT. Proud to be quit with you.

got up pissed...telling myself not today and did my roll...still tired and want to go back to bed lol.  Talked to Keith last night and feel encouraged.  I still have not been hit by a big crave....I surround my self with fake dip and seeds...so far that has been the trick.  Still a bit confused on the roll...hope I did it right.  I think my wife is a little shocked i have made it 4 days....I keep telling her I am done...I dont want to be a slave anymore.

Congrats on staying quit! The first couple of weeks suck big time. Remember these days for those times in the future that the nic bitch whispers in your ear trying to get you to cave. You do not want to have to go through this again.

Thanks a ton for the help Chris, I sure appreciate it bud.

Check you messages as fellow quitters are offering support. It is common as Chris said to exchange digits but only do through personal messages “pm”. You can do this. It sucks fow a while but then it doesn’t.

Ok on Day 3...eating a ton of seeds.  I am not feeling very bad...I guess I am just tired of feeling like crap because of Nicotine.  I also am a little confused on how to do things here....where to post and such.

Hey @jsjohnson ,

You can find your group HERE <---- Just click the link.

Once you are in the January quit group, go to the 1st page and the top post.  It should be the roll post.  IF not, just scroll down a little until you find it.  Once you find it, hit "Quote" in the top right and scroll down in the text box until you see where someone placed a place marker for you.  Type your screen name, day count and promise there and then hit "Post" in the bottom right.

The process is simple:

1. Wake Up, Piss, Post your promise (WUPP)
2. Keep your word for the next 24 hours
3. Repeat Every Damn Day (EDD)

Start exchanging phone numbers with other quitters through private message.  Those phone numbers are your lifeline for when it gets bad.  Use those numbers and reach out for help.  There is no embarrassment in asking for help when you need it.  Those numbers also are a start on your web of accountability and brotherhood.  Remember, accountability is a two-way street so if you receive digits, give digits.  If you would like mine, please send me a PM and I would be happy to oblige.

You can do this.  It will be hard for a while until it is not anymore.  The freedom is well worth the effort to get you there.  Use your intro here to document your quit process.  You can look back on it later and it will help you.  It will also help anyone else reading it.

Proud to quit with you today,

chris2alaska 624 and QLF (Quit Like Fuck)

I quit Monday night, and have been chewing for 32 years since I first went into the Army.  This is gonna suck but I am tired of chewing.  Using baccoff right now to help with cravings and habit.

Hey @jsjohnson you have made a wise choice to join KTC as there are many veterans here in different stages of quit with good hearts that want to hold you accountable and help you quit, forever breaking the chains of nic addiction. This is not going to be easy, but I promise it gets better the longer you stay quit. That’s where we come in... always feel open to ask us any questions from medical to hobbies, if you’ve had a terrible quit day, grumpy wanting a dip, and  pissed off at the world then we bring it us, we’ll fight with you and let you blow off some steam before doing it at your family, etc. we’re home away from home, but with only a few rules 1) role is sacred and you never lie on role or mess with someone else’s role post.. 2) no nic or nic replacement products may be used 3) helping others and giving back to the site helps to strengthen everyone’s quit. The daily  process is pretty simple, just post role in your home group daily by—- Wake Up Piss and Post (WUPP) as soon as possible Every Damn Day (EDD).your group is January, link is below, and we have saved you a spot. Please PM me for my digits if you have any questions or need help posting. 78 QWY Judaculla
