Day 1

[jake frawley]

Gents....having a fuckin rough day. I went to 2 different military bases looking for some fake dip. But beepin nothing. I even said, why is still stuff not available for those who are trying to quit? Of course I was eyeing every tin they had available. I'm feening hard right now!!!! Sitting in front of the oven waiting to finish cooking some chicken legs....gotta eat some food. Day 3 still going strong but fuck this sucks! Just would love to toss one in....

It's fucking tough - 3 days is too many to throw away. Fight through the crave, jump into live chat or read intros or words of wisdom or HOF speeches - whatever it takes to keep that shit out of your system. Take a few to order some fake online if you can't find it - it will take a few to get to you but better than not having any and looking where they sell the real thing.

Find a local Walmart if available. They sell Smokey mountain, which is good. My advice is to call before you go and ask a store if they have any in stock that way you do not go and find out they do not and then are left staring at the real chew. It may prove to be too tempting this early in your quit. You are doing the right thing by coming here when you are craving! you got this!

Thanks Gent's for all of your words of support.  Today, after work, I went to Long Drugs to load up on seeds and gum.  When I went over to the dip area, I ask the cashier if they had any fake dip.  None!  Seems like Hawaii does not carry any fake dip.  I will check the military base tomorrow.  Anyway, she asked me if I wanted to the real stuff.  I said no.  Furthermore, I mentioned that I finished with that mess.  She mentioned that she wished her husband would stop.  I took her about this site (KTC); thus, passing the word on.  Anyhow....the Nicorette Gum has been trashed.  Today at work, it has been a continual cycle of gum, seeds, gum, FOOD, seeds, gum, FOOD.  Indeed, I am eating a lot more.  I am proud of myself - why?!  This has been the longest period that I have gone without a dip since I was in Marine Corps bootcamp in the late 90's.  I am F'in doing gent's!  I feel good, gums are looking good...still have a bit of a white film in certain areas, but that's what one gets when they cycle through a can a day.

I'm glad to hear that you trashed the poison. Now you need to head to the welcome center (top left). Learn how and why we post roll. Pay particular attention to why. Posting roll is where you will post your name and promise not to use each day. You can keep you're word for a day right?

I reread your intro and wanted to point out one more thing. Part of quitting is getting your mind Thinking correctly. You mentioned that you were finally quitting this habit. Make no mistake brother, this is one of the most addictive drugs known to man. A habit is easily dismissed with time. An addiction you live with for the rest of your life. You can successfully quit and live a happy and meaningful life. One rule must be followed. Never again for any reason!

I'll be looking for for your name on roll today.

He stated he trashed the nic gum. We got a real quitter here.

[haas0311]

Ok Tueffle Hunden! Lets drop the nic gum. She is the worst kind of temptress brother. I have been nic free for about 8 days now and although I am foggy, I feel pretty good that I have made it this far and the cravings do get easier to pass. Now, man up and quit being a damn hard headed jar head and kill that nic bitch! We all got your back bro!

Come on ya young punk, I hid my dipping from my wife and everyone else for over 40 years. Got caught a couple times and lied like hell.
Now man up and flush the gum. Nicotine is nicotine no matter what the delivery system is. If your really serious about quitting and want my support pm me, I'm always available. If you deside to leave your wife in the dark that's fine with me but I will say coming clean with mine gave me one more layer of honesty and freedom. She is also my best support even though she doesn't understand the power of our addiction. I'm waiting! 'impatient'

[srans]

'impatient' Well,,, whats it going to be. Your bound by an enemy that shows no mercy.. The poison does one thing well. TAKE!! It takes your money while stripping you of your dignity and integrity.

I just read your intro again. It sounded good anyways. Sounded like you had a lot of conviction. Just another slave to the poison.

Since your not in control i would like to talk to your master for one second. I hate you poison. I hate that you stole so much from me. I hope this dope sees you for what you really are before it's to late. You can lead him but you no longer have a place in my life..

The balls in your court. I say you trash your stash and take you're life back. I'll quit with you,,, you don't have to do it alone.

I started around the age of 21. In less than a month, I will be 40 years old. Dipping how controlled my life for so long. Heck, even my wife does not know that I dip. Yes, I am tired of hiding this. I am tired of racing off to the tiolet, to sit there for 15 - 20 minutes, in order to have a quick dip. I am tired of staying up, while everyone else has gone to sleep to have a dip. It has been roughly 14 hours since I have last taken a dip. Not too bad for someone that has gone through a can a day.

The Nicorette gum (4mg) is helping. Of course, that and tons of sunflower seeds keeps me on track with my goal to finally quit this habit for good. Presently, I have (2) white patches on my gums (top left hand corner). Of course, I have continually researched what I have to what is depicted on the internet. Of course, nothing matches when I fully pull my upper lip out to see them. I do not know if I am just over analyzing what I think I have or not. Yes, a trip to the dentist office might be necessary. Furthermore, I have dropped a lot of weight - not sure if it is due to the supplements that I am taking, my exercise routine or just my calorie intake. So right now, my mind is spinning - indeed, I have the "what-if's."

Hi Stoppingformyself. Judging from your screen name, you definitely have the right attitude!

I hate to sound like a broken record. These guys have already said it: no nicotine is the ONLY way to do it.

Hopefully I can help shed a little light on the not too distant road ahead, should you decide to completely give up the Dark Mistress Nicotina for good.

I'm on day 12 today. After the first 5 days or so, every day has gotten a little bit better.

Here are some things I've learned that may or may not help you with your decision.

The first thing you need to accept is, you are going to suffer, but you don't have to do it alone.

The second thing is, it gets easier.

Using this site can be a tremendous asset, but only if you make the committment within yourself, first.

We're all on the pathe, Stoppingformyself. I hope you'll join us.

Oh, young sir, you have SO much to learn. Go to www.killthecan.org, read, read, read and when you figure out the problems in your above statement, return to these forums ready to quit.

[srans]

First and formost welcome. I like the screen name you have chosen. Stoppingformyself. Let me ask a question. What are you stopping? Your stopping at stop signs i hope. Your stopping in to say high, that's nice. One thing for sure though. You aren't stopping the use of nicotine.

I was like you not so long ago. Thought quitting cold turkey was impossible. Now i know that was a lie i believed from the poison. I thought life wasn't worth living if i gave up the love of my life. (((yes you love nicotine more than ANYTHING OR ANYONE, think about it))).

Friend I'm here to tell you,,, take your life back!! The poison is not going to just give it back,,, you have to take it!!

1000's have done it and you can to. Hope to see you in the land of the free. It's so much better than where your standing.

[AliG]

I know exactly how how you feel right now. Day 36 nic fuckin free. You. MUST throw the gum and patches away or you won't be able to stop the withdraws. It will get better and you can make it! Focus on one day at a time I promise u can do it.

[Matt F]

Its all good except for one problem: KTC is nicotine free. Nicorette gum, nicotine patches, e-cigarettes, are all out. I know for a fact you can quit the KTC way, just do it - TODAY!
