feeling like I'm forgetting something.

[alwaysdippin]

im not giving you a response you want .I already answered all three of the rhetorical questions asked of me.you dont care about 30 days? 30 days gives me 29 more days of quitting experience than my day one which makes me better equipped for the nuances of my journey. Like I said yesterday, my day one, ask me in thirty days

[AppleJack]

This is good stuff man... Keep these posts limited to the previous intro you started. It's easier to track your quit journey with all of it in one spot.

alwaysdipin- day ? No chew saturday

What exactly does this ^^^^^ mean?

It means we have a quitter (as he as edited it to day 1)

Always....What's your plan to stay quit today?

Did you answer the 3 questions?

What happened.
why did it happen?
What are you gonna do different?

Stay quit today.

What happened to me friday the 21st? I let my job get to me.

Why did "it" happen? If "it" means why did I stop and buy a can of grizzly . Chewing was my way of coping with the stress of everyday life struggles.

What am I going to do different? Today I got through without the overwhelming urge for a chew. It is a process of retraining my brain to deal with stress differently.everyday is a different day with different challenges thrown my way and i have to man up and deal with each struggle independently.

So what are you going to do the next time you have the shittiest day at work you've ever had, then on the way home you get a speeding ticket, then when you get home you find a window knocked out from a neighborhood baseball game. And dog shit in the carpet. When you get completely overwhelmed with stressful struggles??? What are you going to different is the question? Quitting isn't about staying quit on good days and dipping on bad ones. You have to regain control of your life man. No more stupid excuses, grow a pair and quit.

Coming home to all of that would nothing compared to my daily stress. As a matter of fact I would welcome that menial headache.here's my list of triggers ( not excuses).
1. I lost $132000 to a crooked home builder
2. I own nothing. The I.r.s. owns everything until I can pay them back the 70,000 i owe in back taxes.
3. I owe over 15000 in medical bills for my little boy almost dying july10 th13.
4. I owe the state over 7000 in back taxes as well.
5. In the warmer times of the year I put in over 90 hour work weeks just to catch up from winter slow times.

Yeah dude ill take shit on my carpet a broken window and a speeding ticket any day of the week. I can clean up Dog shit,fix my own window and pay for a ticket. Those menial little bumps in the road are shit. You ever come home from expecting to find your house and everything you've worked for repossed by the government? I do every day of the week! To be perfectly clear with all of you on here trying to bust my chops ....dont. congrats to everyone on here that has never cavedin to this addiction after your quit. Not everyone has the will power to do that. Im extremely honest and will take responsibility for my actions.you want to wear my shoes ill mail them to you!

I hate to sound intensive, but dude, none of that stuff matters. I think what WG is trying to say is that NONE of the shit going on in your life was made better by:
spending time away from your work/family to run to the store, to purchase with money you don't have, a product that is formulated specifically to ensure that you.... spend time away from your work/family to run to the store, to purchase with money you don't have, in order to buy a product that is formulated specifically ensure that........you see the cycle you are in? Break that cycle man. Quitting nicotine doesn't mean life turns into an episode of Leave it to Beaver. But quitting nicotine does solve one of your many problems. Hang in there man, answer those questions, 'cause they will do you some good.
BTW, if you still believe nicotine helps you to deal with those issues, say so. It's a good discussion topic, and it's critical that you understand how nicotine actually "eases your stress." (When I first quit, I had no clue.)

I dont use what if ..... to judge how I react to a situation. Scenarios are a waste of time because they never end. I answered the three questions the best that I can in the first step of my journey im not going to give anyone an answer they want to hear or fits their ideas of what they think my answer should be. Ask me the questions in thirty days and I'll give a more educated response based on the journey taken to that point.

I don't care what you'll do in 30 days.

What's your plan today?

[B-loMatt]

I can remember growing up my dad always dipping Copenhagen straight fine cut, but never around my mom. I was 12 when I started chewing skoal winter green..way back in 1980. I lived in Houston Texas.  I was walking to my friends house with a chew in when my dad pulled up next to me in his car. I was busted and waiting for a lecture about how bad of a habit tobacco is. Instead my dad says if you to spit roll the window down and dont get any on my car....oh yeah dont let your mom know you dip. I'm 45 years old now with 4 kids. Married 4 26 years .I have one son who is a year old march 6th.like father like son my wife never new I chewed for 21 years of our marriage. I finally told her. I want to lead by example for my little boy and not be the example my dad was for me. My dad quit chewing in 1995. I want to follow his example again only this time in a  positive way. My dad has been on me for 19 years to quit. I've learned that a person will quit when they feel like quitting and not pleasing someone else. I dont mean to ramble on about the past but theresvalot to be learned from ones history.

Hey brotha, your right, when it hits you it hits you and it's time to quit. And bro, you are in the right place to quit. I'm 48, Texan as well, raised by smoking parents, and started dipping in elementary school. Hell, I am only half kidding around when I talk about my first job. It was riding around picking up coke bottles and going to the convenience store and turning them in for cash and buying Happy Days snuff. Back ing the 70's they only carded for alcohol. Lol. Not tobacco. I'm actually still amazed that they would sell tobacco to to a kid in elementary school. Well, point is, I have never even been able to slow down dipping until a friend told me about KTC and I came here and took the hardest step, Day 1. I had actually given up on being able to quit. But today is 182 days and I tell ya, I never thought it could be this good. It's awesome. Trust yourself to KTC philosophy and you will do fine. At night, turn off the tv and spend your time here. Read all that you can. Everything. Get on chat. Give your phone number to quit buddies. Take every number given to you and start building relationships here. I'll give you your first tool for Quitn. ODAAT. One day at a time. Quittn forever is too big to tackle. Just quit one day at a time. You got this. Click on my name and send me a pm. I'll quit with ya bro.

Gdubya - 182

Great mindset! Read everything here. So much knowledge here... Follow the plan it works. Use that time to quit feeling wisely as it does not last forever. Get active on KTC and get your plan together. PM me if you need anything.

Is that all the effort your going to put into your quit? maybe you should take a look in the mirror and ask yourself if you even want to quit.

Alwaysdippin. I post role from my iPhone. To get instructions on your android, go to the Welcome Center and look for how to post role. I dug around and actually found a video on how to do it. I'm not a tech guy and I am still learning some of this stuff. Keep quitting. It took me lurking around in KTC for a while before I decided to finally commit. The first 7 days were the worst
