Thanks for the support gents. Me and the misses got into it and I wanted to cave like a mutha fahka last night, but didn't. Woke up this morning and quit again. I did dream about it and it was the very first thing I thought of when I woke up. The fight continues.
I blamed a cave last year on the old lady. Never would have happened if I was on KTC then and already promised my quit brothers and sisters not to dip that day. It's the same old story almost every day now but my quit just gets stronger.
+ this a million times. I got into fights with the wife early in my quit and you tell yourself, "she's making me want to cave". Fact is she isn't - it's the nicotine addiction speaking and it is desparately trying to come up with ANYTHING to get it's nicotine fix. Recognize it for what it is and you will be stronger for it.

I was a similar situation to you - dipped 22 years and I have 2 young kids. Just follow the program here, get involved and you can have your freedom back. How many times have you not spent time with your child to go off and dip? We've all done it and let me tell you the FREEDOM from not having nicotine run your life is worth it.

I'm excited for you...you're about to start learning the details of just how much the nic bitch was pulling your strings. Honestly, you may think you know, but you don't. If you put in the effort to stay quit and the effort to understand what nicotine is about and how it effects you...well..getting through each day will become much easier. You will not believe the shit you did last week in order to further your addiction.

Congrats on a great decision, and on the start of a new path.

Albeit brief, that was a great intro. To the point, badass, and a show of humility. A couple of pieces of advice; you post roll and you are quit. There is no preparing or ramp up - you post roll and make the promise to not use nicotine for that day; then you are quit. Every time you "quit" and start again, you're not really quitting; you're just stopping. Quitting is a daily act; one you must actively perform because you'll forever be an addict. Reason I describe quitting this way for you is because this is the mentality you will need for duck hunting. Not the mentality of I haven't used for the past 30 days (which helps), but rather; I am quit, I posted roll, and I WILL NOT USE NICOTINE TODAY.

The other thing is build an accountability network. Don't find yourself in a duck hunting group of friends who are drinking and dipping without a lifeline to call/text to hold you accountable to your word. All of us successful quitters have networks. People we communicate with every day. This is how we can help you; and in time you will reciprocate that help but for now worry about you. Post roll and build that accountability.

Best decision you could have made. Post roll today,this is your day one. You will be in the January 2015 quit group and there are a bunch of bad ass quitters over there. Check your pm box I sent you one. This will be my first duck season copenhagen free in 25 years. We can get through it and I bet it's your best season ever. Proud to quit with you today.

Flush those can contents and rinse them out then throw then out. Eliminate dumpster diving from the possibilities tonight.

Welcome.
They are in my garbage can at work, I'm already commuting. The janitor will make sure their fate is met tonight.
Great. You can do this. The next few days will totally suck. Just read as much as you can here on KTC and get involved with your quit group. Get some sunflower seeds and atomic fireballs. Chug a shit ton of water too. Read read read.

Brother it is good to have you aboard and good to see that you understand the seriousness of quitting. Get straight to posting roll ASAP. You have flushed your stash and now you are ready to get to quitting. Keep close to this site and read like you already have been reading. It will cement your reason for coming here. Quit everyday and post roll every day. We don't take time off for posting because nicotine doesn't stop driving us crazy with head games. You can do this! If you need anything at all reach out to a fellow quitter. We have all been here before and understand exactly what you need.

Dammit I'm Done
« on: October 20, 2014, 05:48:00 PM »
Hello all, I'm Dirk. Been on the can for 21 years. Longest stint without it was a few days 2 years ago while I was hospitalized. I've got a toddler at home and a new one on the way and have been toying with the idea of a "quit date" and "slowing down", but after finding this site today, I realize how much of a pussy I've been. I'm fucking done, two cans of Cope in the garbage. I never thought this day would come and it probably never would have. After reading the "Contract to give up" and balling like a baby after reading Tom and Jenny's story, it was time to nut up. I've got a serious trigger approaching in November with the start of our duck hunting season, so I'm preparing for it now and looking forward to not picking Copenhagen grains out of a stuck call reed. Thank you in advance for your support. Do I Post Roll now or after I've been one full day without the junk.
