General Discussion - 2014

I'm quitting. That's right. Quitting dip and recently smoking. Oh man, this is gonna suck. This is gonna suck hard. I know I can get through the first day with just minimal struggle. That's alright I can do that. But that second day.. That's where I've failed every time. The second day is when the incredible irritability kicks in. That's where I've failed the 10+ times I've tried to quit dip in the last year alone.

I can do this. Man, I hope I can do this. Nah, I WILL do this. I'm tired of the money spent. I'm tired of my family wondering when I'm going to get cancer from dipping and now recently smoking. I'm tired of wondering if I'm going to live to see the younguns in my family grow up.

I've got to do this. It's easy to say that I can do this now because I've just got my nicotine fix.. The next 48 hours are going to be make it or break it for me. If I can make it through that, I can make it through anything.

I'm going to post here every time I get a craving. It will most likely be when I wake up in the morning. That's how I'm going to stay grounded with this. I don't have just myself and my family to work for, I have everyone on this board that will be holding me accountable. As long as I'm posting here, you know I've stayed quit.

Slow down there bucko.

We're doing this today as well, and well...it's pretty awesome after a little while. It may suck a little at the beginning, but it's well worth it ultimately. Post roll. Make some friends. You'll see that there are many guys like you going through the same shit you are. You aren't special to this battle, but you are special to you: Make your quit a priority. You'll find that others here will do the same.

You can do this.

Whats up all? Day 1 here. Tired of this shit controlling everything I do. Have already worked out twice today, have bags of seeds, ready for hell.

Seeds help. Get some fake or some chewing gum (not nicotine gum), too. And make sure you have several numbers of people in your quit group, as well as more seasoned quitters. It helps when cravings start to hit. They'll remind you why you're quit and help keep you that way.

Good morning. I have been following KTC on Twitter for a while and just joined this site a few minutes ago. Today is Day One. I have tried to quit many of times over the years, but it seemed like it was always for my wife, for my kids, for work, but never for me.

Yesterday I noticed one of my bottom gums was almost gone and the bottom of my tooth is showing. It seemed to come out of no where! I could not believe it and I have been freaked out since. Did not sleep much last night, knowing I was about to quit. I woke up this morning, went and found my can and threw it in the trash and came straight to this site.

I HAVE to make it thru this time. I have quit probably 4 or 5 times before and sometimes it lasted one day and once it lasted two years. This has to be different.

I am worried because I travel a lot on the road and when I am bored with driving, that is when I would put in a big ol dip! I have a 3 hour road trip tonight to watch my son play football, spend the night in hotel, then a 3 hour drive back. This is a tough day to quit, but I could not wait any longer.

Day One is Here!

You need to head on over to the welcome center and read into the site a bit. Post what you've written here in "Introductions" then head over to Quit Groups and click on February 2015 and follow the directions on how to post roll and make sure you do so every single day.

I know this is an old hat topic but PLEASE check the ROLL CALL date BEFORE posting roll. Also when you see a name following "Members Posting" DON'T POST, hit F5 multiple times to refresh the page until the name is no longer there. You may even have to go surf KTC and come back later. If you post while someone else is posting in your group, you're going to bump someone, and that's going to FUCK UP roll call. Always make sure you are quoting the last entry on roll and don't try to enter a missed roll the next day buttercup. The noobs and even the some vets need to quit being so careless and selfish too and take their damn time posting...this isn't a race.

Thank you

Buy a large variety, try each one and find your favorite. Expensive? Not as much as chemo or jaw surgery.

[SandPike]

Not sure what you want...were you a wintergreen chewer? I wasn't but with that said, I kinda like Smokey mountain wintergreen, and if I was a wintergreen chewer, I'd say it is probly damn good. If you were a straight chewer like myself, I would think that you would want to chew Smokey Mountain Straight. I highly recommend the Straight. Hope this helps.

Also, you can buy Smokey Mountain at Walmart and 7-eleven. So, it is available if you run out away from home.

[Jdaley25]

Smokey Mountain or Jake's Mint Chew... About to order off line... Suggestions???

To all of those who are serving or who have served... a sincere "thank you".
