I am on my First Day

[Steakbomb18]

vbe, I understand that you're in a haze and the fog is thick, but you're all over the place.  From the chat room to reading on the site, to depression, to weight loss.  You need to focus. 

When it comes to quitting, your job is to do 2 things.  1) post roll and promise not to use nicotine for today.  2) Do not use nicotine in any form today.  That's it. 

You have to realize all of that other stuff that is orbiting your quit, is noise.  Focus on the task at hand, get through the fog, and the chaos/noise surrounding your quit will soon come into order. 

Lastly, I appreciate that you're jumping all in when it comes to the site and the resources it has.  One of those resources is this thread.  Rather than post multi-directional rants of randomness, focus your posts on key elements of the quit.  A trial, a tribulation, a simple victory.  Concentrate on what is important, and right now that is quitting nicotine…the other things will fall into place over time.

You can breath now.

Steak- what is important to his quit and what might be important to yours is probably different. Where do you get off being critical of his thoughts?
He appears to have posted the stuff about depression hoping to connect with another member who might have gone through the same thing. That is not "noise", that is him asking for help. You obviously have nothing to contribute in that department, so stay out of it.
And not eating food while trying to quit nicotine is also not "noise", it is a complication to the quit that he is dealing with. I imagine the low blood sugar combined with the cravings will make his symptoms pretty severe, don't you? Maybe he wanted members to know what he is going through.
Either way, he said that he is using this intro as a journal, so if his style bothers you, look elsewhere.
He's posting roll. ODAAT.

Easy there Lipi, nobody's getting off anything. While you may see a plea for help, I see chaos in this post. While you may see this as recording a journal, I see this as a record of various thoughts racing through his mind at that point in time.

I am entitled to post my opinion and my reaction to what he wrote. In this case, my recommendation was focus and vbe can take it or leave it. It's like you said what works for me may not work for him, but that's for vbe to decide, not you. Every person's quit is different with respect to what they value and what we try to do here at KTC is offer perspective. Clearly we have differing points of viewÂ…and that should be ok.

Vbe, I'm not responding to Lipi's post in defense of myself, I don't feel compelled I need to. No one is being malicious here and this is your thread, and should be about you. Just know, there are a lot of people here at KTC with differing perspectives. This is your quit, we're all here to help, and those offerings come with different approaches, tones, and ideas. The good thing, is you get to decide what works best for you. But I still stand by the 2 things you need to do. Â…post roll, and don't use nicotine. And know this, I'm glad your here and glad to be quit with you.

Great post! That is what your intro is for my friend.

I am not sure I will ever be that strong.

I assure you in time you will get stronger and stronger. When you first put down the poison your thoughts, actions, routines,,,,,, ( daily life ) revolved around the poison. Now you are going out on a limb and believing what your are reading and seeing. You have to believe what a bunch of quitters are telling you. We are telling you the truth,, Believe it. You will get stronger in time. Eventually you will begin to own your thoughts again. You will start to uncover all the lies you have believed for years. This happens one day at a time. Believe it!

I recommend you start reading everything you can on nicotine/addiction. Learn your enemy, it knows you. I can't believe I went 25 years not knowing any facts about the poison. It took quitting for me to realize maybe it was time to find out a little about what was controlling me. What a difference knowledge makes in this quit! With knowledge the HATE will begin.

Keep doing what your doing. Give this time. You will love your new life. We weren't meant to be lead around by a can of poison. One day at a time and you can have back a lot of what the poison has stolen. Never again for any reason and you can keep it .

Day 3! Nice job posting roll.

Focus on today. You have 2 days quit... That is a show of strength! You are not weak bro. You are here and you are quit. That is how you do it.

Keep battling today! Own this day!

My quit is almost 47 hours long now. Never thought I would make it this far. Would not have been able to without the chatroom and the support from other brothers via PM, text message, etc. I am actually in the chatroom right now for some support. Those are some awesome guys in there. I have really bad withdrawal symptoms right now.

Like I said, I am using this thread as a journal so I can track my journey that I have just begun. I hope none of you hardcore vets are offended by that. I do appreciate all support that I get. I read some great responses in my thread that really helped me out today.

Its Friday night, and I usually would be drunk as hell with a fatty in my lip, but I live a new life now. I protect my quit at all costs. It grows stronger with each day. I can't afford to drink right now, not for a long time. I need to protect the quit.

I am lusting for a fatty right now, but the chatroom is keeping me in check. This is a bad night for me. One year ago tonight something happened in my life, I would rather not go into it on this post, but just know that it really makes me want to chew. That makes me upset that I want to chew because of a bad memory. It makes me upset that the addiction is so strong that I feel the need to go to it in times of distress. Instead of giving in, I am just here posting. I may not be making too much sense right now, but at least I am not chewing. My head is in a cloud, and I am just trying to make it to 48 hours.

I envy some of the vets on here and how strong they are. I am not sure I will ever be that strong. I think their strength comes from their anger at the nic bitch and big tobacco. They leverage and harness that anger into the ultimate power for their quit. I don't have anger in me for whatever reason, I have always been a laid back guy. I have to come up with an approach that works for me, without the involvement of rage or anger. I am still searching for the answer to that. Maybe after the cloud clears a bit after the first 72 hours there will be some clarity.

Anyways, I am here typing. I would rather be typing away than having a chew. Although I am taking this one day at a time, I wonder what will keep me strong over time. I assume the brothers on the site and posting roll call should help.

I have been reading everything that I can on the site. Great posts. The words of wisdom. HOF speeches. I also looked at cancer pics. They really tripped me out. Then I start reading about oral cancer, and that tripped me out even more. I start reading about the warning signs, and I think that I have a lot of them. Went to the dentist last week and they took pics and said to quit, and come back in 2 weeks to see if my mouth looks better. So I am quit, and will go back in 2 weeks. I am worried about it. But what can I do about it right now? Nothing but quit, and stay quit, and protect the quit.

If anyone has advice on what to do when quitting and depressed, please let me know. I am not joking here, I mean severe clinical depression. I am already taking meds for it and going to intense therapy. The meds I take are the right ones apparently for nicotine cessation. Wellbutrin. I was worried and scared to share this info to the public in a post, but I figured how can my brothers help me if they don't know what is really going on. So there you go. If you have any advice let me know. The depression is getting worse, but I am fighting it. I don't want to cave.

This quit is extra challenging because right now I don't eat food. I was 355 pounds 5 weeks ago. I am 6 feet tall. I went on a medically supervised medial weight loss diet. I only get to take these protein shakes. I get 4 of them a day, for a total of 800 calories. The diet is extremely strict, I am not allowed to have ANYTHING else, except for 5 sticks of sugar free gum and water. No food has touched my lips in 5 weeks now. I go to the doctors office every week to get my vitals checked, and weigh in. I have lost 22 pounds. I am down to 333 pounds, with a long way to go. The strength from my food quit gave me the strength to take on this nicotine quit. I just worry that I have too many quits going on at the same time. It's too late to go back now, I have quit nicotine and I will not go back. Honestly, I can't believe I am on a temporary food quit right now, think about how crazy that is. These shakes are gross and chalky.

Well, enough of my random thoughts in this haze of suck. For those of you out there who have supported me, thank you. I think I have made it through another day. I am 10 minutes away from 48 hours now. Tomorrow is another challenge. We will tackle it when it comes.

Stay Quit!

[rdad]

Well, I am 15 minutes away from the first 24 hours of nicotine free living that I can remember in who knows how long.  The mind is foggy, can't concentrate, face, jaw, lips are throbbing, but my resolve is strong. 

I just went to the chatroom and got help from a bunch of guys that helped me get through the last couple of hours.  Those guys made me dump the rest of my copey snuff in a toilet and flush that shit down the drain.  They made me take a pic and send it to them.  I did it.  They were proud. 

I am going to try and get some sleep now, and welcome any support that may come through this thread as I venture onto day 2.  I made it through day one fellas, still can't believe it.  Tomorrow is another day, another fight, one day at a time.  I feel like with the help of my new found brothers, I can take on the challenge. 

I will be posting as much as possible from this thread as a sort of diary or journal, in hopes of getting support from others, and providing inspiration to those that may need it.  Stay tuned for some real shit to be written.  The journey has only just begun...

Hey bro, let's be calm and rational for 35 seconds. You are thinking that just one pinch can solve your problems. Your gums will not hurt, your tongue won't feel like a filing rod, and your mind will return to normal. That is the Nic Bitch telling you all of that. That is how "they" keep you coming back for more. That is how they line their wallets, with your addiction and ultimately your death. See, this is nothing more than the best money scam going. Just imagine if you could have a 10 million dollar mansion and have someone else pay for it. Well, "they" figured out how to do that. Provide a product that "addicted you" to it and paid off lawmakers to keep it legal. Tax the shit out of it and everybody wins. Except for the addict, you can die. There will be plenty more behind you, you're not special. So, every time you step into that store and throw a five on the counter, just remember you are agreeing to be taxed, proliferated and murdered, all with your money and your blessing. You "OK" this when you lay down your cash.

I want you to suppose for a minute that I walk up to you. Look you in the eye and tell you I'm going to kill you, slowly. I'm going to make you spend thousands of dollars in doctor and hospital bills, I'm going to orphan your kids, make your spouse go at life alone or find another mate. I'm going to take your families money and feed my family with it, also, junior wants a convertible to drive to Harvard. I need some new addicts to pay for that car and his education, you top the list. I need your money addict.

How would you feel about me? Would you do business with me? Would you buy my product? Would you want to kill me? Would you at least stand up for yourself and your family?

Well, I say Fuck Them, you're not taking my money, much less my life without getting the fight of your life. In fact I would rather die on my own accord than let you kill me. It's me or you motherfucker, and I'm not going to lose. All I have to do is Not Dip and you lose. That's it. You are not getting another penny from me you son of a bitch. Not a fucking penny. You will not make me withdraw, you will not make me crave, you will never make me kneel at your alter ever again. I'm in control, not you. I'm pissed, and I'm armed with quit. Fuck you and heed warning I'm out to do to you what you threatened to do to my children. Your on notice tobacco CEO. I'm fucking quit and I will never again let you treat me like a whore.

That might have taken more than 35 seconds, sorry. Hope you get where I'm coming from.

Mogul

Holy goddamn. If that's not enough to solidify a reason to quit and stay quit then I don't know what is. Damn fine Mogul. Damn fine.

Well said, Mogul. Fuck the UST CEO!

Thanks Mogul! I'm all jacked up right now after reading that. I'm good for the day now!

This thread made my day. Thank you.

MR MOGUL!!!!!!!!!!! YES!

Rack HIM! This is the post of the day if not the week. I love it.

I will not give the domestic terrorist organization know as UStobacco any of my money. I will not let the Government tax me for funding the Organization that murders 3 million people world wide per year! Yes per year.

Think about that, UST kills a city the size of Houston every year. Have you ever heard them say, "sorry"? They don't give a shit about their customers, they are gullible addicts and plenty of kids will be recruited to replace the dead. Our government accepts a buyout and in return, no individual can bring a lawsuit against USTobacco for their product.

I put 5.00 per day in savings. If I caved, I would donate to KTC and if I didn't I would start collecting guns. I now have two and shared some of the money with my wife for her roll with helping me quit. She got plantation shutters for the house.

Its good to be quit and Mogul I would kiss you if you were in my office right now.

I am pumped and pissing vinegar right now.

Hey USTobacco! Kiss my Anglo-Saxon ass! 'Finger'

vbe931 You are in Hell! Winston Churchill said, "When you find yourself in hell, keep walking!!!!

Post roll, keep your word, repeat. It's a bitch to quit but it does get easier. Just fight on and embrace the pain because you are winning your freedom back!

Trust me, stay true and quit every today. KTC is a fool proof way to quit. Just keep going.

There is some goo shit being flung around KTC today! Way to be Mogul and MT!
This got me jacked up (again). Its gonna be an easy WEEKEND now 'oh yeah'

[vbe931]

WOW! Mogul, thank you for the inspiration. Thank you to everyone! I am now on hour number 38 of this quit. I am just taking it minute by minute, hour by hour right now.

That might have taken more than 35 seconds, sorry. Hope you get where I'm coming from.

Mogul

Holy goddamn. If that's not enough to solidify a reason to quit and stay quit then I don't know what is. Damn fine Mogul. Damn fine.

Well said, Mogul. Fuck the UST CEO!

Thanks Mogul! I'm all jacked up right now after reading that. I'm good for the day now!

Well, I am 15 minutes away from the first 24 hours of nicotine free living that I can remember in who knows how long.  The mind is foggy, can't concentrate, face, jaw, lips are throbbing, but my resolve is strong. 

I just went to the chatroom and got help from a bunch of guys that helped me get through the last couple of hours.  Those guys made me dump the rest of my copey snuff in a toilet and flush that shit down the drain.  They made me take a pic and send it to them.  I did it.  They were proud. 

I am going to try and get some sleep now, and welcome any support that may come through this thread as I venture onto day 2.  I made it through day one fellas, still can't believe it.  Tomorrow is another day, another fight, one day at a time.  I feel like with the help of my new found brothers, I can take on the challenge. 

I will be posting as much as possible from this thread as a sort of diary or journal, in hopes of getting support from others, and providing inspiration to those that may need it.  Stay tuned for some real shit to be written.  The journey has only just begun...

Hey bro, let's be calm and rational for 35 seconds. You are thinking that just one pinch can solve your problems. Your gums will not hurt, your tongue won't feel like a filing rod, and your mind will return to normal. That is the Nic Bitch telling you all of that. That is how "they" keep you coming back for more. That is how they line their wallets, with your addiction and ultimately your death. See, this is nothing more than the best money scam going. Just imagine if you could have a 10 million dollar mansion and have someone else pay for it. Well, "they" figured out how to do that. Provide a product that "addicted you" to it and paid off lawmakers to keep it legal. Tax the shit out of it and everybody wins. Except for the addict, you can die. There will be plenty more behind you, you're not special. So, every time you step into that store and throw a five on the counter, just remember you are agreeing to be taxed, proliferated and murdered, all with your money and your blessing. You "OK" this when you lay down your cash.

I want you to suppose for a minute that I walk up to you. Look you in the eye and tell you I'm going to kill you, slowly. I'm going to make you spend thousands of dollars in doctor and hospital bills, I'm going to orphan your kids, make your spouse go at life alone or find another mate. I'm going to take your families money and feed my family with it, also, junior wants a convertible to drive to Harvard. I need some new addicts to pay for that car and his education, you top the list. I need your money addict.

How would you feel about me? Would you do business with me? Would you buy my product? Would you want to kill me? Would you at least stand up for yourself and your family?

Well, I say Fuck Them, you're not taking my money, much less my life without getting the fight of your life. In fact I would rather die on my own accord than let you kill me. It's me or you motherfucker, and I'm not going to lose. All I have to do is Not Dip and you lose. That's it. You are not getting another penny from me you son of a bitch. Not a fucking penny. You will not make me withdraw, you will not make me crave, you will never make me kneel at your alter ever again. I'm in control, not you. I'm pissed, and I'm armed with quit. Fuck you and heed warning I'm out to do to you what you threatened to do to my children. Your on notice tobacco CEO. I'm fucking quit and I will never again let you treat me like a whore.

You're gaining momentum bro. Keep your head in the game and work on getting rid of the "I can't believe I made it" thinking. Turn it around. Start each day with "Of course I made it!" You just quit bro. You're not in the process of quitting. You're done. Wrap your head around it and be the badass that it represents. Own it. I'm a fellow July brother from last year. I'll help you any way I can. Check your inbox (1).
