FM12 Intro

[redtrain14]

Thanks for the advice, knowledge on the community expectations and positivity.  WT thanks for sharing and wow 38 years.  Congrats.  I will begin to familiarize myself with the protocols / roll call and make the jump.  Sucks my mother-in-law is in town but that is the exact point......there will always be something to convince the demon to stay. 

OK guys thanks for the initial words.

Quick question.... would this be considered my quit page or shall I start and new thread and where?  Thanks!

This can be your quit page, your blog or anything you want it to be. No reason to start a new thread for every random thought you have, put it all here.

Yeah...I'm looking squarely at a good number of you.....

Congrats on your decision and remember, there is no hope in quitting, just quitting.

Shout if you need anything.

Hello,

What an amazing resource and support group you all have here.  I hope to really give it a go and be a part of all this!

I started dipping ~9yrs ago when a coworker introduced me.  We work on boats and sometimes spend 15hrs a day or even weeks aboard and dipping always made for something to do / look forward to, etc.  Sure you’ve heard it all before.  At first it was just on the boat, then it was “this might be good working at my computer” and then of course I now go most of the day with one in my lip. 

I read all the intro pages and yes to everything; wife hates it and I hide it (but she is not stupid), kids see me do it in car, my 4yr old boy now spits outside, etc, etc, etc.  It is so entrenched in my life it’s scary and the times I tell myself the discoloration and bumps are because I’m dehydrated or I need to eat more vegetables or whatever tricks my mind plays because I don’t want to think of the real truth and consequence.  But still I buy that gold top can. 

I’ve thrown every excuse at it and of course life is challenging with two small children and demanding career and no time for my self, always the next trip or some reason to have a can but does that give me the right to slowly kill myself?  I want to quit, all the guys at our shop have quit (one after probably 15 plus years), all but one and me.  To be honest, I don’t even know where to start (nicotine gum?, seeds?, bac-off?) but I will keep reading.

Just wanted to quickly post up and say I’m close and I want to do it.  Best to all......

Congratulations on your desire to quit, Freeme!

Please Note: We quit cold turkey here, meaning no nic patches, gum or tobacco products.

As you may already know, the central part of KTC's success is posting roll call every day. Head on over to the WELCOME CENTER (link in red at the upper left of your screen) and read all about posting roll. Then go to the August 2012 group and get started. Don't worry about making a mistake when you post roll. Someone will fix it for you and you'll get the hang of it quickly.

Also read everything you can under this link: KillTheCan.org.
Information is power when it comes to quitting.

The initial days of quitting suck, but your life is worth the fight!!
If you need anything else, just shout.

FM 35 days ago I was in a similar position as you are today! I actually had a plan to quit in 10 days. My prep. To plan lead me to KTC. That night I read all I could, paced the floor, suffered sever anxiety at the thought of ditching my 38 yr companion for freedom. Finally I jumped aboard, flushed my copensnuff. For the next few days I questioned my choice the pain and grief from the loss of my long time companion hurt it hurt bad! Now looking back I don't miss that BITCH one bit!! There is Only one thing for you to do if you want freedom! Ditch the bitch, drink the koolaid of quit with the rest of us addicts. Start gathering your support team to help you through tough times. Pm me if you want my help.

There is only one way to quit and that is to put the shit down and never put it in your face again. I used gum, candy, sunflower seeds, food, fake dip etc early in my quit. Whatever keeps Nicotine out of your system is fine.

No nicotine in any form is accpetable! It just prolongs the inevitable which is the withdrawl. Toss the shit, post your promise, keep your word and you will be quit.

Keep reading. More information on this site about quitting than you could every hope to find anywhere else. And... you have the benefit of thousands of quitters willing to help you through the process.

All we require is: Toss your stuff, give us your word, Keep your word.

Choice is yours.
