I am on my First Day

[vbe931]

I have posted roll. I have decided that I will beat this beast. It will be the hardest thing I will ever have to do, but I will do it. I will be relying on your guys support. Thank you to those of you that helped me see the light. I have not had any gum today, no chews today. I know the road ahead is going to be hell, but from what I have read, freedom is worth it. I need the support from my brothers now, as I have started the journey. Thank you.

You're getting good advice from some badass quitters. Don't ignore it! Listen to what these people are telling you. Flush ANY FORM of nicotine, NOW! Having it around is just temptation to use. You've been quit now for roughly 24 hours. If you chew a piece of gum, you piss away those 24 hours, and then it's hello 72 hour detox, again! I've been quit for 33 days, that means 33 days of no chew, no cigars, no ecigs, no nic gum, not shit! Ya, it's going to suck fat dick right away, grow a pair and meet the suck head on. Every hour you're quit during the suck, hell every minute you're quit, is a minute you never have to experience again, if you chose not to. This is life or death man, the time is now! Seize the opportunity you've been given and take these vet's advice! Need anything, inbox me!

We can't quit for you - if we could your fight would already be over. We can give you support and a proven method of quitting dip - it's yours if you want it but the price is your word - your roll call post is your promise. That's all this place with all of the tools and support offered costs - your promise to yourself and to us that you won't use nicotine. Come back and let us know if you want in, post roll then pop back in here and let us know it's a done deal!

Edit: run through my intro and the intros for some of the other guys who have reached out - we've all been right there - too damn afraid that we might fail to give our word to a bunch of strangers. We all made the jump though and the strangers have turned into brothers - I'm tellin' ya, this is a special place - jump in with both feet.

Brother... listen.

I chewed for 25 years. 2 cans a day easy. I was spending $400+ a month. Every waking moment was spent worrying about having enough, finding time to do it, thinking of ways to hide it, etc. There wasn't a year of my adult life that wasn't run by nicotine. Not one year. You're no more addicted than I was/am.

April 17th, 2013 was my day 1. Quit. Cold turkey. Fought like a bastard and, sick as it sounds, enjoyed every moment of it. It was tough as hell but... I win. Every day. For 345 days straight today.

I win.

You can too. You're stronger than you think you are.

We do not Hope or Try around here. We quit, plain and simple. You must have the right attitude to quit though. At first it will suck BIG TIME but then, It Won't. I am on day 28 and feel a crapload better than I did a week or two ago. The road was bumpy as hell but the ride is so worth it. The decision is ultimately yours. Do you want to be quit or not? If so, Welcome to the nut house. Join in on the conversation and Post Roll daily. If not, hopefully we will see you back here when you are ready.

Hello everyone, it's me. Well, first of all I want to apologize for not realizing that this is a nicotine free site. Last night when I posted, I was simply crying out for help. I really appreciate the support that I have received from members of this site. The good news is that I did not take a chew yesterday, for the first time in years. I have spent considerable time reading posts and articles throughout the site. It has helped me. Where I am right now is that I have not taken a chew or a nicorete gum piece since last night. It's a bit past noon right now in California, and I am struggling big time. I didn't do roll call because the truth is I still kept some gum. Sorry but it's the truth. I haven't used any of it yet today, but I really don't know if I will or not. Maybe I should talk to Pinched on the phone later on today, if I make it that far without using the gum. One thing is for sure, I am not going to chew today. I feel dizzy and sick to my stomach, and I can't concentrate on anything, but I am just trying to take it hour by hour to make it to the end of the day. So I will let you guys know if I end up making it through a day with no nicotine, and if I do, then hopefully I will still be welcomed here, because I know it could really help me.

Don't wait until tomorrow to quit and post roll call.

I was a bitch like you and used gum a few days it only makes it harder.

Man up and do it now.

Buy in to KTC.

It's a system...a process..a brotherhood.

I doubt you are any more addicted than the rest of us...

So lets go!!!

Do you ever make decisions in life? This is your moment. Man or mouse?

Just quit right now. Toss the gum.....toss the cans.....not in the trash....down the crapper and flush!

Post roll! You came here to post a second time that to me means you are serious. Prove it and post roll call.

Well, did you make it through the night? Are you going to quit today? Take Pinched up on his offer. Throw out the gum, Jump into this with both feet. You're already sufferring-- it'll be over quicker if you just jump in and get through it. Lot of help and support from some real badasses here who will have your back if you are ready. Just do it. It feels AMAZING to be free! I was hooked for 30+ years, never could quit until i came here. Now I"m never going back. Join me!

When I was younger I had a dream of being a millionaire. Then I planned how to make that happen...I will be damned if Ed McMahon never dropped by with that check from Publisher's Clearing House still.

In lieu of continuing to plan I decided to start my life, learn some skills, get a job and start saving what I can when I can.

I would highly recommend that you look at your quit the same way. Decide that today is day 1, post roll, dump your stash and then come back for more.

By making a plan you are also allowing time for your brain to come up with an escape plan. Jump on into the quit Kool-Aide feet first in lieu of just dipping your toe in the water.

If you would like to discuss it more or via the phone I would be happy to talk with you. Send me a PM let's exchange numbers and make this dream a reality!

whats the story here? seriously that gum tastes like a dirty hooker's ass anyways...whats the point? Would you use crack to quit cocaine? Think about it!

[Wt57]

Stop postponing, quit nicotine today if your serious.

[mich 34]

Do you want to quit or do you want to be able to tell yourself that you tried and you just couldn't do it? If you want to quit jump in with both feet - start with the welcome center, follow with a flush of all nicotine, follow with: post roll, keep your word, repeat.

Everyone who has taken time from their loved ones/work/tv time etc... gives a shit and there are a lot more of us around than have posted so far. To get the full support offered by users of KTC you have to show us you WANT to be here - flush your nic and quit. Any questions - ask them here - someone will take the time to give you an answer.

I am just trying to make it to bed without taking a chew.

This statement ^^^^ is where i was over a year ago. All I had was hope, try and eventually give up. I had no idea that it was possible to QUIT! Right now your believing lies. Your trying, wishing and wanting. To uncover the lies you must get rid of the poison. ALL FORMS!

What you don't realize is quitting is up to YOU! Its a decision that is being hid from you. You are addicted to one of the most addicting drugs known to man and the hardest part of quitting is believing you can do it. There is 1000's that have used this site/ forum to successfully quit. We use each other, accountability, determination and drive my friend. How about you trash your stash and join us that are now free. Your move.
