Nice,

You got this. There isn't anything to be scared of regarding quitting. It is a known equation. 72hours to get the nicotine out of your system- close to a month to get the rest of the 20 plus cancer causing chemicals out of your body that come in that little copperheaded fuck bucket of poison. The longer you remain quit the more nicotine receptors shut down, and the better you feel. If you cave? you start back from zero, it only takes one puff or one dip to refire all those nicotine receptors and your right back to where you started.

What you REALLY should fear is spending the next 20 years of your life as a slave. Stealing time from your family to feed your addiction, destroying your health and then being filleted alive in a attempt to save your life. Quitting is the easiest hard thing you'll ever do. I promise.

The first three days are going to be a special treat. Remember them.

Around day 14 a little rough patch and again around day 70 and 120 or so. These are known as funks.

You can keep your blood sugar up and steady - a crash will lead to a crave. Sip sweet juice like pineapple during the day and balance it out with some protein.

Cut your caffeine in half. Nic counteracts caffeine , unless you want to be bouncing like a jackrabbit on a meth bender, chill with the caff.

exercise will also reduce the frequency and intensity of cravings.

Other than that? post roll everyday and read all you can here. Start with Words of Wisdom.

I dipped for longer than you have been alive- I quit here. Your in the right spot. Sing out if you need help.

I wish someone had warned me about caffeine. Lol this is my day 2 and after several cups of coffee I have been bouncing like a jackrabbit on a meth bender. ?

This intro is the sort that gets a lot of us excited! You are doing what I wish I'd done a ly of years ago. The advice you have received is golden! There really is nothing to fear... But there is a lot to celebrate! Write in this thread and document what you are going through. Because you won't ever have to relive sleepless nights again. You are quit!

Congratulations Josh! Welcome to a group of bad asses!

I just read this intro; fucking love, love the badassery to heed the advice of some stud quitters and flush that shit down right now. Itsgot2happen, put that shit in complete perspective...many of us wish we made the decision in our early 20's to quit....only to finally pull the trigger 15-20 years later when we are at the pinnacle of desperation and fear. So, kudos...it takes balls to do what you did.

Now a few things for you as you move forward

1) this quitting for your wife and future kid thing...flush that too. This quit is for you. Sounds like a dickhead statement, I know. But all of us have tried quitting for loved ones and you know what happens every time...we fail. Quit for you. Wife, kids, can be inspiration for you, but you need this for you. You can't be there and love them if you're not alive. Save yourself first so that you can be there to love them

2) Post roll every day. Go to March 2015 and figure out posting roll. Screwing it up is a right of passage, we'll fix it. All we care about is your promise.

3) stay active. Get numbers and build accountability. As you can see, we will all jump on your bandwagon of quit when you quit like fuck (QLF) with us every damn day (EDD).

I'm with you; we're all with you.

Quittin' with you! Great decision. PM if you need digits or any kind of help. One day at a time. You can do this.

Hello everyone who reads this, my name is Josh. I'm 22 going on 23, recently got married, and recently decided that for my wife and future children that I want to quit dipping. So let me tell you about myself. I began dipping with friends when I was roughly 14 years of age. Throughout the years I told myself multiple times I would quit, such as when I turned 18, 21, when I got married, etc. I've been reading plenty of posts the past couple of days and I have decided this is where I want to have my final stand, with the rest of you, to quit and to stay quit one day at a time for a lifetime. I've currently set my quit date as this upcoming Saturday. Really looking forward to meeting some people and making connections because over time I have figured out this is a terrible addiction, one I cannot do alone. I have no one to keep me accountable, my wife cares but doesn't know how to approach the situation, my friends/co-workers are addicts as well and do not care to ever quit, and I don't really have any ties with my family. So that leads me here, after my long and tiresome journey, I was lead here to this site seeking help. I don't really know where else to go from here but I look forward to hearing from you all!

Josh, glad to read that you went and flushed that shit. One thing about KTC.org -- FUQ tomorrow!!! Quit today. If tomorrow happens for you, you can quit again tomorrow for the 2nd day. I'm standing with you for sure, homie.

Great plan. The best time to quit is now. The first few days are hard but you can get thru it one day at s time. I had days that I broke it down to quitting by the minute. You can do this. It is great freedom. You make some great friends too.

Great job on making the decision to quit! Don't worry, we all thought we couldn't make it but we have. We still stand together everyday. Take it one minute at a time. Live Chat will help a lot tonight and many nights this first month and more. Get on it. Many of us wish we had quit when you are....you are going to love being free.

I say yes, I will go dump my snuff out now, I'm glad you guys are here for me. Let me go dump this shit and start this journey with you all.

Outstanding decision, and one you'll never regret.

Like you, I posted in my intro that I was planning to quit the following day, but somehow got goaded into posting my "Day 1" that day. That was almost 5 years ago, and I'll always be gratetful to MikeA for goading me to post that day.

Skoal Monster lays it out nicely in the post befor mine. Remember these next three days. Embrace the suck.

As my wise quit brother from June 2010 once said "You'll NEVER regret quitting, but you'll ALWAYS regret caving".

You've got this.

Way to man up. The best time to quit is today. The worst time to quit is tomorrow.

No lies, it's gonna suck donkey balls for awhile but you will survive. Each second, minute, hour, and day you make it nic free is a small victory. Over time those victories will add up and you will begin to feel better.

Gotta take it in small pieces though. Focus on NOW don't worry about tomorrow.

Stay close to this site, it will help you by not only providing valuable info, but will be a solid distraction to keep your brain busy.

I'm glad you're on board and I'm glad you're 22 going on 23.

Quit on...

Tomorrow is a myth man. Quit today bro. The desire to quit can be fleeting. It may be gone tomorrow. Seize the moment NOW. Dump your shit. Today can be your day one. What do you say??
