So... yesterday I watched my son play soccer (actually futsal) for the first time dip free. I wasnÂ’t a deranged, nicotine wanting parent. I also wasnÂ’t carrying around a bottle of something to every game so that I could help gut it down.

It was an enjoyable experience. IÂ’m actually finding myself less stressed. Like my body is somehow thanking me for removing those toxins. 28 years... fuck that.

Day 6 - 120 hours nicotine free. I quit today.

Welcome brother!
The more knowledge you have about it.
The easier it is to Kill it.
Read on this sight all you can.
I'm not being rude... Just truthful as a few were with me in the beginning.
Truth hurts... But has the power to set us free.
Truth... It's not a habit.... Your an addict.
Nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs available.
Who "enjoys" being raped?
We only enjoyed prolonging withdrawals as a slave.
We don't count days or live in the future.
We quit just today!
I can't make a promise for tomorrow... Just today. ODAAT (One Day At A Time)
Learn to post roll.. It is the heart beat of KTC.
And never miss roll.. Be 100% EDD.
And last.. I don't need luck.....
I need your word that you will not touch nicotine Today!
You have mine.... I quit with you today Matttt25
You can do this!
Rawls 1145
I believe.....

Hello all. 42 years old, have dipped for the better part of 28 years. For the last 20 years, it's been a can a day. Beautiful wife and two kids that have put up with me and my awful habit.

On January 2nd at 6 am, I "enjoyed" my last dip. I am now 76 hours nicotine free. I'm counting hours for now, and will soon switch to days. Excited for that moment.

I don't want jinx myself, but the last 3 days have been ok. A little moody, a little foggy, and simply can't sleep. But I can absolutely deal with these symptoms.

That's my story. Haven't figured out how to join a group, but will work on that. Good luck to everyone else on their quit.
Welcome Matt!

Awesome decision to quit, congrats! At a bit over a year quit I wish I could convince everyone I know who consumes nicotine to quit because it is a great feeling to rid yourself of those chains.

Joining a group is easy, you will be in Pre-HOF April 2018. Follow the instructions at the top of the page and post your username with your days quit (you are on Day 4). That is your promise to the rest of your group not to use nicotine for today. Keep that promise. Repeat tomorrow.

Reach out to other quitters in your group to form your groups brotherhood and accountability.
