day 2 today and already feeling better

[rdad]

I am suggesting this is NOT A good way to go. In fact, it's a horrible way to go.

Think bianary...be a 1 or a 0, no in between.

We are all 1's here...we are quit.

Keep sucking on the worm dirt, regardless of quantity...you are a fucking ZERO.

Unit ones in trouble and its scared out of its wits
Don't be a zero.

My fellow addict, you ASKED for suggestions and you got them!

YOU must decide you WANT TO QUIT! You're not quitting for anyone except for YOU! You can make excuses for another 10 years and then you'll be posting crap about your 20 YEAR habit and how you think you'll try slowing down and wean yourself off.

You need to READ what these folks have posted on these pages. They have WALKED in YOUR shoes, they WILL STAND UP WITH YOU but you have to be willing to accept that you are nothing special until you throw out your tobacco. The moment you QUIT, you will get some respect...just enough, but a helluva lot more than you have right now.

Please listen to the advice you've received from these bad ass quitters. I KNOW for a fact that they give excellent advice, because I had a 34 year habit with Copenhagen and now, I'm nic free for 12 days. Yeah, 12 ain't a lot my friend but for me, it's the brightest ray of sunshine that's entered my life in a long time. Do yourself a favor...man up and be a quitter! - Gunman

I'm going to be honest with you, because I care about your life. Nicotine isn't something you negotiate with. It's something you go to war with. The fight isn't quick and it won't be easy, but it will save your life. Nicotine WANTS to convince you that quitting tomorrow will be easier, or that slowly tapering will work better. It won't. It will delay you, make you want dip more than ever. Fuck that. Be a man. If you want to let nicotine call the shots, that's fine, but don't do it on here. We are warriors on KTC. We battle, fight and claw our way to freedom. 24 hours at a time. It isn't fun, it doesn't make us happy, but before I go to bed I can look myself in the eyes and be proud of what I've accomplished. I want to fight beside you. I want you to take your tins are get rid of them. It's about time for you to take back your life. Kill the can bro, kill it now.

Quit today or you more than likely won't.

I'm not trying to be a prick I just have over 40 years of experience being an addict!

[brettlees]

Read the article at this link today: Nicotine Addiction 101

Then, quit today. The article will make it clear. Nicotine is a very strong neurotoxin. A poison. Don't put it in your body any more. you can be so free by your projected quit date if you just quit now! Don't be afraid, everyone here has done it, and they will help you. If I can do it, you can too!

[Mjollnir]

Why suffer? Quit now. Be done with it.

There is a great deal of info here about what you are about to go through.

here is a tried and true tip

reduce to zero, join site, give your word and honor it for 1 day

got to sleep, wake the next day and repeat.

follow that and you will quit.

[ZManT]

Congrats on your decision. Make it sooner rather than later. Like today. Trying to taper is like trying to be a part time parent - it doesn't compute.

[jzzyzag01]

Quit like fuck right now. If you're reading this Hit, get rid of this shit right this minute and be done. Nic has never done a DAMN thing for you except subjecting you to an early and excruciating death.

If you don't believe me, click on the community tab above, then click Words of Wisdom. Then read Tom and Jenny Kern's story. After you've read it, watch the Youtube video about Sean Marsee. Then read Randy's story. If after all that you think 15 more days won't hurt you, nobody on this site can do a thing for you.

Quit today because who knows if that next can, that weaning can as you call it, is the can that gives you cancer. Once the process starts, you can't stop it. Quit today, your life depends on it.

You posted your introduction at 3:59am (my time) this morning and said

"every day i will keep it to the minimum and only give up on the worst cravings and count the number of times."

I bet you've already had a dip in the four hours since then unless you went right to sleep. If you went right to sleep after that, then I bet you have one when you wake up and before you read this reply!

That's what keeping it to a minimum will get you. I've tried that route so many times its ridiculous! I've told some people around me that I'm 11 days quit and they always ask "how long have you quit before?" It shocks them when I say "a couple of hours!" For 30 years, the longest I ever stopped was a couple of hours!

There's only one way to go about quitting. Throw it away, don't buy more, post roll on here, plan to spend the next 24 hours balled up in a corner (sleep most of it if possible), then get up the next day and do it again.

After a few days, you'll feel better. Dragging out the pain is like pulling a band-aid off slowly. Rip that bitch off and throw her away!

I'm quitting with you today! cowboy

I have decided to quit my 10 year tobacco habit and become free from it.

I want to go about first reducing and and then deciding a day to quit in 15days from today. Please suggest whether its a good way to go.

every day i will keep it to the minimum and only give up on the worst cravings and count the number of times.

on 26th January2014 i quit.

If I may, I'll answer your question if this is a "good way to go?" I'm going to give you a HUGE ASS F'n NO!!!! There is so much in that intro to have a field day with but I'll save you the pontification and get to the point. You are an addict. This is no "habit" you're dealing with, this is a full on addiction just like the crack addiction you watch on MSNBC. I would bet that 99.9% of us have tried the "reducing" or "weaning" technique and would bet that 100% have failed. You need to realize that this is the addiction talking, this is Nicotine talkingÂ…"only giving up on the worst cravings". Come on! What type of quitter says that? I'll tell you what kind, it's the kind that will fail.

Here's what I, and at the risk of speaking for my fellow KTC brotherssisters, would suggest. The best time to quit is to quit now. Why give your body 2 more weeks of poison, which could inevitably have that one dip that crosses the line into disease. When you quit, you quit ALL Nicotine and you do anything in your power not to put the poison in your mouth (chew gum, seeds, fake dip, exercise, drink a ton of water, etcÂ…whatever it takes). And every damn day, you log onto this site, and post your name in the roll call for your quit group. You promise yourself and all of us who will quit with you that you don't use nicotine for that day. Then you go into groundhog day mode and do this again, every damn day.

You think about this while "reducing" your dips. Let us know if the reducing is really gearing you up for your anticipated quit day. Think you'll really be any more ready then than you are now? Or, have a sack, dump all of your supply in the toilet right now and flush that Nicotine S.OB. into the sewer where she belongs. Hope that answers your question.

Hi all
I have decided to quit my 10 year tobacco habit and become free from it.
I am getting worse and  dipping almost whole day may be 20 - 25 dips of tobacco  since last 3 months and have sleeplessness and frustration.

I want to go about first reducing and  and then deciding a day to quit in 15days from today.
Please suggest whether its a good way to go.
every day i will keep it to the minimum and only give up on the worst cravings and count the number of times.

on 26th January2014 i quit.

all suggestions welcome
Thanks  a lot

I am not exactly a wizard with six days under my belt, but I have had a 34 year relationship with nicotine. The bottom line for me is you have to go cold turkey at some point. From my point of view trying to cut back, using substitutions (nic gum and patches) just prolongs the inevitible; you have have to go through the fog and suck of breaking your addiction. We all have that in common. Why prolong it? Why half ass your comittment to your quit? Pick a date sure, but then quit straight up....there is no easy way through the fog and suck....it simply sucks, but you will find great suport here and folks going through the same exact thing and there is strength in that. So pick your quit date....why not today....join the April quit group (your quit group is the group you join that will mark your 100 day celan mark), post roll every day and lean on the rest of us. I quit with you today! Man up and post roll!!!

Sam might not be a wizard but he is a quitter! Listen to him. Quit now. Post roll with April and let's get this started. You will find a lot of support here.

Waiting to quit is stupid, that's my suggestion. Pull the cord, save your life now. KTC is the landing zone and the place to stay quit, better to come in to cheers and encouragement with your chute open than to go splat on the pavement.

It's too risky to plan in some date in the future. Most people just puss out when they do that.

If you flush your shit and post roll now you will be a fucking winner right now. Do it and we all quit with you today.
