I quit 20 days ago new to ktc

[worktowin]

I am glad you are quitting while still a young man. The "suck" (aka the misery, pain) is a result of your body healing itself and it gets better and better. You will never regret quitting, but don't forget the misery so you remind yourself to never dip again.

Stay active with your month. Make a few friends. The KTC system works.

Thanks all for the help. Conveniently I already have a checkup with my orthodontist tomorrow so I will be sure to let her know what's going on and have her take a nice look. Thanks everyone. Even though I just joined yesterday I have been a viewer of this website since day 1 of my quit, yesterday was where I realized joining and signing up would help me. Week 3 of my new life started today.

Hope all goes well at the ortho and hope that they don't strap you in one of those damn headgear things. Those things look like a torture device, and not in a fun Friday night kinda way. Haha.

How is the quit going? Now that you've joined the May misfits, you are probably seeing other peeps fight through the same things you are. One of the greatest things about this site is getting a firsthand view of confirmation that you are not alone. The beginning of the quit sucks balls, but day by day the suck decreases. A great man that used to post a lot described the beginning as a heavy fog, and one day you wake up and realize how clear the sky is once the fog has lifted. You'll get there dude. One day at a time.

hey,

I had the canker sores and the sore throat when I quit, thats good your body is detoxifying. Keep driving on and keep the shit out of your mouth, when I quit my whole mouth shedded a layer thats when I realised what that crap was doing. Sun flower seeds and herbal chew helped me, I drank coffee for a caffine fix to make up for the nicitine.

Hi I'm not really sure how to use this website yet it sure if I posted this in the right place even, but I need help, I just signed up for this. I am on day 20 of my quit (I quit on 2/2/15) and its been really rough. Is there anyone that can help me get through it, I feel so alone doing this since all of my friends still pack every day. Since I quit I've had a sore throat, canker sores, occasional mild jaw aches, anxiety, depression, and headaches. It's awful I'm nervous and I don't know what to do or how to handle it. I hate dip so much and I'm never touching it again that's for sure. Help me out if you can! Even though I quit 20 days ago I joined a little late can you still help me? Thanks

Welcome GB! Congrats on your first 20 days. I couldn't have made it 20hrs without this site. But thanks to the support on here it really helps. For the anxiety there's two possibilities if you think it's beyond normal levels of worry. One is that the actual withdrawals are causing anxiety issues as your brain chemistry is healing. The other is that you may have had a pre existing anxiety self medicating with dip. For me it was all of the above. Go to the dentist  doc  get well checked out. Chances are you're physically fine. Use that relief as fuel for your quit. Talk to your doc about anti anxiety and/or anti depressants. You'll find reading on the forums that it's common to need some form of medication so it's nothing to feel bad about. Beyond that just go with what work to win said. You'll find all the help  support you need  could want here on the forums. PM me if you want to text. All the best to you!

Hey gb321,
Welcome brother.
Just to help, this intro page is for you.. Like a journal. Come here to keep track of your progress, it will make you stronger later and well help others as they read.
You got some strong quiters in May.. Get to know some of them by sending a personal message and asking for numbers.
Your anxiety will start ending, now that you have support, if you communicate your issues. You were not created to use poison... You don't think better, jump higher, have more fun with it and or deal with stress because of it...
Those are lies...
Truth sets us free.
I quit with you today.. You have a great start, learn to like the funk, it's making you stronger, healthier, smarter.

First, you are in the right place. You posted in the intros, and your posting is going to result in a shitload of support.

Second, most every one of us experienced all of the symptoms you describe. Nicotine is as addictive as heroin. A can of chew has the same amount of nicotine as 3 packs of smokes... That is a lot. So, you are gonna have some bumps along the road. You can do this.

Finally, listen to the support you get here. Like you, I joined this site about 20 days in to my quit - at the lowest point in my life. I was told to post roll. Wtf I thought? This roll thing sounds lame. Well, it isn't. I haven't missed a day since I joined and I wont. You will also hear about trading numbers and making contacts. Trust me, it is great advice. Having a team in your shoes that you can shoot a text to when you are really fighting can be the difference. And you can turn a crave into a laugh. No joke.

Someone smarter than me will tell you how to post roll. Listen to them! You'll find it up the first time - we all did. someone will fix it if you f it up. Just get your name on there. Join us. And you will beat this monster and have a freedom that you never imagined.

Quit with you today brother

Thank you very much I'll be sure to take all the advice I can. No worries I won't be dipping anytime soon :)

Nice job posting with the misfits! You've given your word that today you won't let your brothers down. That is a load off of your shoulders. Today you won't cave!

Tomorrow wake up and post as soon as your eyelids open. One day at a time dude... Freedom will be yours. Today is a whole new day, and you'll never have to relive the last 20 shitty days ever again!

I'm on a ski and snowboard trip with my friends and at the hotel everyone was dipping and chewing and he handed me the red man and I was like I remember I did this and I pretended to put it in and a piece fell in my mouth and I spit it out immediately. To me this counts. This hurt me and I am in a tough spot right now. I can't believe what happened last night but what's done is done. Day 1 again today. Fuck
