I have set a quit date March 6 in 7 days. It is time to quit. I am starting the taper tomorrow. I have quit for a hundred days before the the shite nabbed me back. Every day is a quit day I forgot that. Am going to look for support here during my quit. Thanks for this site.

Great decision bro!

May I suggest you do it today? Just dump that nasty shit in the toilet, post roll in June group and ask for help with the craving and embrace the suck!

Any pointers are much appreciated.

From one fellow newbie to the next, here are a few pointers:

• Don't do this unless you are ready. You know you are ready when you stop waiting, throw your shite away, and post a commitment on your roll.
• You don't have to quit forever. Just quit for today. You can make it through the next 24 hours.
• Tomorrow is another day. You have to quit again. Don't worry, you can do it. It's only for a day.
• As you go through the nicotine withdrawal, you'll get irritated. Come to this site and tell us how bad we are and what jerks we are. We can take it. We've been there.

Those are some off the top of my head. Join me in the June 2016 group and we'll quit together (along with everyone else here).

I've got nothing to add... wildirish has laid it out perfectly. Dude "gets it"

Welcome aboard!

Well, I have finally decided to get help. I started out on Copenhagen straight then went to Grizzly wintergreen long cut, then I decided that pouches were the way to go because it forced me to use less, but I just found that I was doubling up the pouches. I then told myself that I was not addicted because I only consumed about a can every 2 to 3 days. I put the cans away and could last about a week then fell right back into it. I have always told myself that I could quit on my own, but after the past 11 years, I have finally realized that I am lying to myself. I did some research and found KTC and decided to take the plunge with the rest of the bad ass quitters here. I just bought some seeds and am waiting on my smokey mountain cans to come in the mail to help me with the habit of having something there. Any pointers are much appreciated.

post roll every day...it is a promise that you won't use nicotine for that day....read as many of the stories as possible, there is a lot of help on this site in the form of those stories all you have to do is read them any time you get a craving...look at the cancer pics those things are hardcore....and whenever you need help just ask

i have noticed that at this early point in my quit it is equal 50% good and 50% bad......its simply a matter of which one you want to focus on.....if you focus on the 50% bad then it will be bad 100% of the time.....but if you focus on the 50% good ( any little good feeling or thought that enters your mind or body...grab on to it and focus on it) it won't feel 100% good all the time but it will be close......sometimes its as simple as picturing one of my daughters smiling at me because I don't put that "yucky stuff" in my mouth anymore, those little thoughts help me out a lot

Nobody suggested that I quit, nor was I having any health problems that forced the issue. It was just something I needed to do if for nothing else, for me. I might make it and if I falter I will try-try again.

I'm with you, and 10 years behind you, on this.

I'm not here because I'm worried about getting cancer. I'm old enough that I'm looking at death approaching from the horizon. I've lived a good life, and if I die tomorrow, I have no complaints.

I'm here because I want to feel better today than I did yesterday. (Right now, today, that's not happening. lol - gotta get through this withdrawal first.) What better way (to feel better today) than to make a daily pledge not to put nicotine in my body?

Join the June 2016 roll group Bill. Let's have some fun with this.

That's awesome guys. Actually inspriational to hear that someone would quit without health being a major factor but just to shed a horrible addiction. After 32 years myself it's almost like getting a chance to live a 2nd life so I'm excited about it 7 days in. Let's do this.

Thanks AWOL. I'd love to have you in my "class" of June 2016, but you are a month ahead of me. I quit with you today though.

We'll still slay the beast together. I know it will be up and down but day 8 is feeling great. Maybe cuz it's a weekend but I sure feel like I'm moving on from it more quickly than I thought I could.

I just realized I have been shitting without a dip in.......I didn't think that was possible

Yep that seemed like a must-have but I don't even think about it once I hit the seat now. After just 7 days.

There is no better time than today. If you are planning a quit, plan it for today, not tomorrow. When tomorrow gets here normally ones mind is changed and the planned quit fails.

You are MORE THAN WELCOME to join in on the fight today. The only cost of admission to the site is to post your daily roll (Pledge) to not use nicotine today. No patches, no gum, lozenges or any nic replacement.

Come on in folks! The kool aid is great!
