Hello

[sweetrice80]

Hey guys,

So Day one was a rough one, especially during times when I am used to dipping, my jaw is a little sore from chewing gum all day, one after another. I got through it, woke up this morning without much of an urge to dip. The urge was there but wasnt as bad as yesterday. I am going to get through these next 3 to 5 days....

I sometimes feel like a damn crack addict, because I am like cracking every bone in my body and can not sit still. I am hopeful that once the nic is out, I will be able to sit still again!


Well have a great day everyone thanks for the support!!! Quit with you all!

I see an intro and roll post, so I know you are serious. Buckle up today and for the rest of the week, drink a ton of water, and stay close to this site - it will save your life.

^^^^^What Twort just said....Buckle Up....it will suck for a bit.....after about 3 days or so the nicotine should be flushed from your system...then its just dealing with the mind trying to trick you into dipping....you will rationalize every scenario in which it is OK to dip....fight that shit....Come to this site and read....lots of great stories of quit by some great quitters....go to Live Chat...every moment you are here is time you won't be thinking about dipping....

Post Roll Every Damn Day.....Twort is right.....this site will save your life

David: Your story is just like every other guy on this site. That could have been my intro. The point is... we're all in this together. Quitting is hard. Let's quit together today. Then we'll do it again tomorrow.

David - Like all the other people said - you have come to the right place. As for your daily routines - these are things that you may have to change in your life for a little while until your mind becomes used to the quitting. You really can't stop some routines so get some fake chew, seeds, or whatever to get you through those times. You said you are also a coach - think about the great example you are setting for your players. I quit with you today.

Good Morning everyone,

My name is David From Maryland. Been trying to kick this habit for quite some time now. I am normally a pretty tough dude when it comes to making hard choices. But this is has been one of the hardest, that I have ever gone through. I have been trying so hard the last few months. I went from normal long cut (about 1 and half tins a day) to pouches (one tin a day). But today I decided enough is enough and literally took what I had left in my tin and threw it away. I do not want to be considered that weak dude that can't quit or be that person that is grumpy all the time because I do not have my nicotine fix in.

All in all, I am hoping this will be the place that truly helps me get over the hump and into promise land. I know its up to me, and it is my own will that has to do it, but its good to see a bunch of people going through the same thing as I am, I am hoping that helps.

David,
Welcome to KTC. First of all I have to correct you (keep in mind for your own good and benefit), this is not a habit it is an addiction. You might be the biggest baddest mother fucker around but none the less you are an addict, so am I. I am laying a couple of pointers with links so you can not have technology be a hurdle in your quit. Please read the list below, review and like shampoo "lather, rinse, repeat" daily until you can actually say you are quit which should at a minimum be a day longer than your addiction but I would bet cash on life.

1 - post roll daily, this is your pledge to quit to yourself and your KTC brothers, How to Post Roll
2 - post roll with Pre HOF July 2015, this group is selected by your quit date being today, that means in July you will hit day 100. 100 days is not cured but signifies true intent to quit and dedication
3 - be accountable for your actions, you made you an addict no one else did, so be mad at yourself not anyone else
4 - read stories on here Hall Of Fame Legends, Introductions, Words Of Wisdom
5 - quit for you and only you, let everyone else be a benefactor
6 - grow your network of accountability well outside of this website, it makes shit real. If you want my number to call or text shoot me a personal message and I will glad to help you along this path.
7 - find an alternative, fake dip, jerky, seeds, candy, slamming your balls in a desk drawer (anything that works for you works for you)
8 - beat cravings with exercise
9 - drink lots of water, flush out the toxins and years of abuse to your body
10 - be ready for anything and everything, this shit is nto easy but it is possible

Again, welcome to KTC,

Pinched,

I stand corrected. You are correct it is not a habit its an addiction! I agree.

A few things its absolutely crazy how sometimes I don't even think about taking a pitch and other times it is all that I am thinking about. Like right now, reading on this site, the though of taking another pinch makes me throw up a little, reading cancer stories, even looking at some pictures does the deed. But other times like when I first wake up, taking a shit, driving a car the urge is like no other and my though process goes all out of whack. I am hoping that when I get those urges I can just turn to this site.

The funny thing is, I know that I was born into an additive family. Everyone on my fathers side smokes or has a drinking problem. Because of this, I stay away from drinking. But I with nicotine the stuff wont stay far enough from me. I mean I see it freaking everywhere, I mean we all got to fill up gas, or pass a 7-11, or even watching a guy mowing grass with a pitch in his mouth.

I feel like I can handle the physical urge of the nicotine but can not handle the mental part. (and being a baseball coach, I know in most sports its more mental than physical)

Anyhow,

Thanks for the warm welcome! especially the balls slamming in desk drawer tip! 'archer'
