Quick question and be honest here, how much weight did people gain in the first months of their quit? Im eating everything!
So much, sooo much fatness. Last time I quit I put on nearly every pound I lost for my wedding (roughly 80 lbs)
Your getting your taste buds back man! I'm a skinny dude and gained 20 pounds. After about 200 days or so i figured it out, the hand to mouth obsession ceased for me, so did the klondike bars and chocolate cookies with every meal, even breakfast.. it came off

Dont sweat it now. Keep nailing water and try exercising as much as you can. You cant take on too many things a once, quitting tobacco is friggin hard. You can worry about the wait when you become more stable
Maybe 10 lbs. I didn't snack as much as rely on fake dip and a lot of seeds. I agree though, nail this first and then circle back on the weight. No one died for being 10-15 lbs. heavier.

What's up KTC. this site has been amazing to me and inspired me to pitch in with helping others to quit. I feel like I have decent skills in front of a camera and the ability to motivate and inspire.

I've started a Facebook group called OgQuitters of Tobacco. And I'm releasing motivational content for family and friends who use tobacco or are trying to quit. I've made a few videos and also been shouting out KTC in them as this site has done so much for me. I want people to know about KTC, and inspire people to quit, while providing my own commentary on what it's like to quit.

If anyone wants to add me on Facebook to see my content, you can find me as Spencer McDuffy.

Add me as a friend, join my group if you want, and let's keep this quit train rolling.

I'm glad I found this site. I'm done with this crap. I've been dipping for 36 years... What a waste! I've quit before several times ranging from 5 days to a year, but have caved usually because I think I could control it or just wussed out. No more! Just took my first Zyban today. I've used before with good success in stopping the cravings. Quit date set for next Wed 1/31... maybe sooner if Zyban kicks in really good this weekend.
Welcome and congratulations on your decision to quit. A couple housekeeping items:
1. This is your first and last quit, all the others were little breaks.
2. don't wait, quit today cold turkey you will have 7 days by the 31st, all the nicotine will be out of your system and the worst will be over
3. this is your quit group: topic/30471996/38/ post your promise each day

Woo Hoo!!!
I just won a free tin of Chattahoochee herbal snuff (No Nicotine/No Tobacco) on FaceBook. New Whiskey flavor.

I'll let y'all know how it tastes when I get it.
I just ordered a can along with the classic to help with the oral fixation. Here's hoping it has a good flavor 'cause it sure does take the mind off of the real thing.

I have been eating a lot more too. I gained like 3 pounds in the first 4 days. I have started choosing healthier options to have available for snacking instead of the 3 lb bag of peanut MM's.

Going to the Gym actually helps to suppress hunger and keeps your mind focused on something other than what your mouth and gums want.

Keep up the good fight and PTBQWYT (Proud to be Quit with You Today)

I posted a new topic in the suggestion board the other day and it said it first needed to be reviewed. Do I hear back on my suggestion at some point either way?
