Diesel, I just read the whole book cover to cover. Allen Carr's "Easy Way To Stop Smoking". You recommended it, and it changed my life. It changes the way I look at everything related to my quit. I recommend it to anyone, it is that good, and it applies to chewers even though it talks about smoking.

I know now that I will NEVER EVER have nicotine in me again. It is not even an option.

Thank you!

Quit for life.

There you go. This post is what it's all about. Yesterday your having trouble making it to the next minute. Today you are talking about never again for any reason. A little knowledge and you are QLF!. See how this works? Build up your arsenal, learn what to expect. No more sneak attacks! Glad to be quit with you.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

VBE, you sir are doing great!!! Keep it up.... The quit is strong with you and I'm happy to be walking down the same damn road with you on our way to taking control of our lives once and for all... It was funny the pic you sent me of all the cans and that big glob of dip in the toilet... Mine looked the same... Knowing what I know now (how bad the first 3-4 days were), I'd fucking quit today again if I never had and would want someone like yourself there to kick ass and motivate me...

Stay quit Destroyers!

Hello KTC brothers and sisters, all you badass quitters out there. I am just checking in on this Day 5. Once again thank you for all the support. Diesel, I am halfway through the Allen Carr book you recommended. It is really helping me open my eyes. Thank you for the suggestion.

Stay quit!

That's how it works V. The advice you receive here is from fellow addicts that are experiencing or have experienced the same thing. When you have those bad days, and you aren't done with them, fight it 1 hour at a time if that's what it takes. Be sure you have some #s of others in your group to lean on and support.

I don't know vbe, looks to me like you're reeling this in pretty nicely. Each day is a goal, and now your 4 days quit. Four F'n days!!! Do you realize how big an accomplishment that is? How many times have you tried to quit and failed after 24 hours? How many times has every single one of us tried to quitÂ….and failed within 2 hours. My point is, you say your quit isn't strongÂ…Bullshit. If it weren't strong there is no way you'd be 4 days quit.

And the good news, you get to do it all again tomorrow and be strong for a 5th day in a row. There are side effects to this, sure, and the weak end up caving. The strong survive. You are surviving, and therefor you are not weak.

Hello KTC brotherhood.  Thank you very much for the encouragement and the responses.  I really appreciate it.  I am almost done with Day 4.  It is still a struggle, but I need to stay strong.  I really envy those of you on here that are strong with your quits.  I am trying to learn how you got to be so strong.  Diesel, I really appreciate the responses, and the suggestion for the book.  I will read the book for sure, just got it on my iPad. 

I think some of you are correct.  I am not strong with my quit.  I have to figure out the way to get stronger with my quit.  Each day that goes by, I am hoping that it will bring strength.

In the mean time, I am grateful and blessed to have the people here on KTC to lean on during these tough times.  Thank you everyone.

Day 4 almost in the books, lets start a fresh Day 5 on Monday!

Vbe, you are in a funk now and I get that so hang tough. How strong your is your quit? Just as strong as you want it to be. It's an attitude brother; its not something that just comes. It is an attitude that you have to carry on your shoulder. Be proud of you, be strong for you, don't let anything come between you and quit. Reach deep down inside your gut and pull out a fucking quit monster. Never Again, For Any Reason, will I dip. I am better than that, I deserve to not be a slave to nicotine, I am ................. (you fill in the blank).

I quit with ya, wish I could do it for you but I can't.

Mogul
There is no reason to use again. Like the guys said. Fight, fight, fight. The days will start to add up. You shall arrive at a point where your new normal hardly even thinks about dip. I promise. Day 1207.

Dig deep buddy. You can do this. It is worth it. Fight, fight, fight.

You wont think dipping is too cool when you have a surgeon remove your lower jaw and part of your tongue.

It gets better man, I give you my word. I didnt believe it when people told me that, but I had the faith to see it through. 452 days today baby. One day at a time. There will NEVER be a "better time" to quit than right now.

No dip today.

You say you envy those of us on here that have been quit for a while. We all started the same fight you did. It was a uphill battle for us all as well. We all struggled at first but was able to overcome the battle and become victorious. You to can do this. I used this website like hell for the first month posting and talking to help me get through the hard times. Its hard to reprogram your brain to thinking it doesnt need this anymore. That is the main thing your fighting is your mental battle inside yourself and once you find a way to reprogram your brain to say I don't need that crap anymore you will see how awesome it is to live without an addiction. Hang tough and use Rocky as a role model he got beat to shit in the beginning stages of the fight but he won in the end and you will to.

You will do this one day at at a time. You screwed your brain for years,, I say again YEARS!! I'll let you add the days up on your own. You'll probably need a calculator. I say that to say this,,, 5 days is just the beginning. In time you will start to feel better and begin feeling somewhat normal. What is normal exactly!?!? Your guess is as good as mine.

There is a door you need to get to. This door is hard to get to and open. Sharpen your tools, settle in and make your way to the door. I can't tell you how far the door is or how long it will be before you get to this door. You WILL get there one day at a time. I make you one promise and you can take it to the bank. You stay the course, and live by this rule (nafar) you will love where this quit takes you. Life is so much better without the poison. Glad to be quit with you.

Being quit is awesome. I never knew how hard but how invigorating it is. 4 days is awesome. You can and will succeed if you have the right attitude. Don't fail at quitting. Nice seeing you in chat.
