Have to quit

[Mogul]

Mac, I'm here to help you . Recently, Of course I've only been here like a week, most people think I'm, well, fucked up. They are probably right. YOU CAN DO THIS...... I have for 8 days now going on 9 and it is hard. NO crap, its hard. BUT READ, READ the posts, even if you're not interested. Work out, read, post and put crap in our heads that make us think you are more screwed up than me. Hey, AppleJack did....... LOL....... JK BRO.... Salem rocks......


I'm here to do what I can to help you quit. It's your quit with our help.

Mogul

Hey pinched, I'm your monkey......


sorry, I'm sick and well, thats just the way it is....

Your off to a very good start. Your definitely right about pouches not being any better. Nicotine is nicotine no matter the form. You've been given good advice and will receive much more, read and listen.

Just a fair warning...

If you stay connected to this site, get involved, make some contacts, use them and try to pay it forward this little "half-sick" forum will make you quit dipping....

The other part is even easier and only involves 2 steps.

1. Post roll every morning

2. Don't dip

If you read through the other intro's you may see some of my same words on them but they always hold true so I will just repeat them...

You are in for one nasty fight but you have the tools here to make it.

Go load yourself up with gum, mints, fake chew, seeds and beef jerky. Also get some member phone numbers right now, they will help you through the rough parts.

Next, exercise to exhaustion every single day and drink so much water that you feel like you may bust. Both of these will help.

Make sure your wife reads about what you are going through. 99% chance that you are going to be a short fussed dick for the next 3-4 weeks. Try not to take it out on her and the kids. Get on here and take it out on us, we will be fine.

I quit with you.

Welcome to the boards; this place works. Hang in there and take advantage of all the support you can get here. I'm quit with you today.

This is up to you, it's very simple, not at all easy, yet very simple. Read all you can in the welcome center and post roll. Once you get your name on roll you will begin to see a ton of support. I will quit with you every day bro, hell every hour or even every minute if I have to.

Mac-

Proud to be quit with you and glad you're here. A couple of things I think need to be said though. It's great that your wife discovering that you've been lying to her got you here but it aint going to keep you here unless you're here for yourself!

373 days ago, I found KTC and quit because after trying to endlessly quit my 2 tin of skoal a day, 13 year dipping habit I had finally had enough. I had lied to my wife about having "quit" my habit for over 7 years and was a true ninja dipper (dipping in the middle of the night while taking care of our babies, dipping in the car, dipping at work, dipping in the shower, and on and on). I didn't come clean to my wife about my addiction (or my quit) until after I had reached my HOF date. I wish I had brought her in earlier but I wasn't able to bring her in until I did. All that being said, while my wife and my kids were very important motivators in getting me to finally quit, at the end of the day I quit for Me and Me alone. There is no other way. Especially for the first couple of months that will suck balls like you have never known.

Anyway, this site works if you embrace this site and your quit but everyone here takes quitting very seriously. There is no "trying" here and there are no quick fixes to quitting. Only a very long slog of quitting 1 day at a time, waking up to post roll, being held accountable and holding your brothers accountable and then waking up the next day to do it all over again. Embrace that and you will find yourself free from your addiction. If you aren't willing to put in that kind of effort, you will only be wasting your time and the time of everyone here who is willing to do whatever it takes to remain quit.

Good luck and proud to be quit with you for today only!

Hey Mac - welcome to KTC. Here you'll find all the tools, support, and accountability that you need to quit.

My personal advice to help during the early days is this: drink alot of water all day long. Load up on hard candy, gum, seeds, and fake chew - those things will all help keep your mouth busy. Exercise every day if you are physically able to do so, that really helps with the anxiety and rages. But you will experience withdrawal symptoms no matter what, so you just need to be a badass for a while and get thru it. whatever it takes.

Get involved in your group (February 2014) and like Pinched says, post roll every day. I see you tried to post roll already, but you didn't quite get it. Everyone screws it up at first, so no worries, but go try it again. I'd do it for you but you need to learn it because you'll do it every single day.

If you have any questions or need help or advice, just ask.

Rick

PS. There are some great links right at the top of the February group, read all of it as you get time. (Welcome Center; knowing what to expect; Contract to give up; Tom/Jenny Kern story).
If you can't find them let me know and I'll post the links here.

Not gonna lie, it's comforting to know there is so much activity everyday at this site.  I used to smoke cigs and quit that several years ago only to dive right into dipping.  I've denied this being a problem or an addiction for awhile now and because of that, I've lied over and over to my wife that it's something I've quit doing, taking her trust for granted. Last night I through in a pouch with her sleeping right next to me.  Spit into a beer can and forgot to throw it out. She found it this morning. Of course she is not my only reason for doing this but we've just begun our lives together and I can't have this weighing it down. It used to be the long cut, but for the last 2 years or so it's been only pouches - which I know aren't really any better. With the support here, I'm confident that this will happen.  My wife and I just started trying for kids and I can no longer have this kind of distraction. I owe it to my future.

Mac,
Welcome to KTC. It is great to hear that you hold your wife with such high regard and that you realize that your nasty addiction disgusts her. You are correct this site does have a ton of activity, but most of all a shitload of experience. Most of us would not be here today if not for other veterans helping us remove our heads from our asses.

I want to help you out as much as I can. Now learn how to post roll HOW TO POST ROLL CALL then post up with your group Pre-HOF Febraury 2014 Group post roll daily (pledge to yourself and your KTC brotherhood).

Now have your spouse read this Spousal support

Now find an alternative (fake dip, candy, seeds, jerky, etc.) drink lots of water. Drink so much water that you have to piss in every port you can find.

Other than that, meet some other quitters, exchange numbers and own today. Never ever ever think about tomorrow, day 100, day 365 or anything just today. Tomorrow can wait until it becomes today.

P.S. The underlined words are links to places within this forum.

Welcome mac- i'm slugging through psychological withdrawals right now and relatively new to the site, but been here long enough to tell you:

You will get messages from some seasoned quitters. Read and follow what they tell you. They know what works and what doesn't, and they aren't afraid to call out bullshit on someone who is letting their addiction run their brain. What they tell you is going to help, if you let it. I'll let them give you instructions, but make the most of this site if you really do want to quit.
