Why can't the rest of the country be like this forum, This forum feels like an old group of friends.

What is it about the quit that you find so elusive?
YouÂ’ve tried many times before; are you permitting fears and doubts built on past failures to dictate your future? Are you so crippled that you are no longer a man, capable of making conscious choices about your health and your life?

Or is it that you find the can so beguiling? The nausea of that first pinch has long since past and along with it the rush of the second pinch that you took so many years ago. Still you persist in chasing them. Why? To what end?

Do you hide cans? Do you grab a dip in secret? Do you make plans simply to avoid running out? Have you ever spurned an amorous advance from your spouse because you just put a fatty in and wanted to savor it? Do you have a nagging fear of cancer but have rationalized that the odds are in your favor; youÂ’ll quit before that happens? Will you? Do these behaviors disgust you?

I hope IÂ’ve struck a nerve. Because there are a couple of hundred MEN behind these doors who have embraced the suck of withdrawal victoriously and are waiting to stand strong with you should you commit to join their ranks. Husbands, fathers, brothers, and sons who loved their families more than nicotine are waiting to show you the way.

You only live once and time is not on your side.

We got ladies too!

I love your posts man, you're doing this the right way and paying it forward. Congrats on your 50 days and keep it up!

Yes we do! (have ladies). Oh for shame and one in my own hall as well (a thousand apologies Patti)

You speak truth brother. Like Satan, the nic bitch hates us all equally and undiminished, without regard to the variables of the human condition.

If only our love for each other could be so pure....

I quit almost 8 years ago. I am experiencing something strange lately. Cravings worse than when I first quit. Talking with my wife she agrees that I never got over the physical effects of quitting. I am angrier, more stressed, easier to set off, etc, and over the last 2 months it is becoming exponentially worse. I feel like a powder keg just waiting to explode.

There is a possibility of it being linked to ADHD-C. I am hanging on by a thread but I actually have a can sitting in my kitchen. Not sure I am wanting to stay quit as I know that flood of nicotine will do what it did for 25 years. Soothe the beast. At least until I can get to a doctor and get diagnosed and start treatment.

Has anyone that quit long term dealt with anything like this? I have started binge eating along with all these other problems. Fake dip, seeds, nothing works to settle me down. Any ADHD sufferers out that have experienced anything like this? Considering trying vaping, e cigs, or gum/patches to get a hit without the poison that is in tobacco, but I am feeling like I am losing control.

Flush that can down the toilet! Immediately.

I canÂ’t speak to your symptoms, I havenÂ’t been Quit that long and it sounds unusual that withdrawal and cravings would still affect you. Have you been using some other form of nicotine or other drug?

You might want to speak with a specialist or even a psychologist to explore what might be triggering your response.

I do know that the can on that table doesnÂ’t contain the answers and it wonÂ’t make your life any better. If after 8 years Quit you are short tempered and irritable, hell maybe youÂ’re just an irritable guy with a short temper! All opening that can will do, is make you a short tempered guy who just threw away 8 years of quit.

Its amazing the tricky nic bitch still playing mind games after 8 years quit. Dont fall for it, its a trick. Flush that shit is right. 8 years and you bought a can? Cmon bro.

How about try walking, working out, doing push ups, cleaning the garage, painting the bathroom, ANYTHING other than adding another problem to your life by opening that can, e-cigging, patch, etc.... DONT DO IT

I quit for 10 years and at times had similar things happen. I did the big pharma thing first and that sucked, then I started going to the gym at 4am for awhile and it corrected it. physical activity does wonders dont replace one bad habit with another. I eventually went back to the can but have now stopped again and im 56 days in craving as much as ever.

She lies to you, ya know. Just put another dip in and it'll all be fine. But the truth is, she is insatiable. You can NEVER fill that hole, no matter how much minced weed you pack into your face you'll always crave one more.

Unless you kill it. It has to be starved to death, not appeased. Only in it's death is there victory.

I used cinnamon sticks for the first couple of weeks to overcome the oral fixation. I rolled into work this morning and man, I forgot to replace my stack of sticks. But that's OK. I don't have to have them.
But you, you know where that can is right now. Not only that but you know how much is left in it. Prolly got a spare out in the truck or the drawer of your desk.

Not me. I'm free. 50 days free today.

Funny thing is, it could be you celebrating 50 days. Ain't nothing like freedom!

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS ON DAY 50 Bro.

I am forever proud to be quit with you today

I'm working the concession stand at the high school basketball playoff. Cranking out french fries like a jedi master with a buddy. He happens to be an x-ray tech. I'm tellin' him about KTC and what it did (does) for me.

He starts telling me about a guy that he shot images for who was getting his face carved up because the nic bitch loved him so.

So I says to him I says, "how long ago was this?" "oh about six months ago" he replies. and he's still chew'n (my buddy, not the dude what got his face carved up)

So I'm looking at him incredulously, like, really, are you serious? You haven't quit yet? Walk out back with me and that 2x4?

And then he starts going on about the respiratory therapists who smoke!, you won't believe the shit they deal with, cleaning out trach tubes and whatnot.

So here's live testimony of the incredible power of the nic bitch and the horror and carnage it inflicts and you're still on the fence about whether or not you want to quit? Or maybe you're contemplating the John Wayne I'll do this on my own...

Well, when your testicles drop and you're ready, you just come on in and we'll do it together; together we are so much stronger than the bitch.

I'm waiting....

Great post - thanks for sharing

What day is today?
Is today the day you put it down?
Is today the day you feel obligated, nay compelled, to break the chains of your subservience and stand defiantly against it?
Is today your independence day?

I hope so, so does your family and those that truly love you.
