Congrats on keeping the quit going.

The big thing is making the decision in your head that you are finally quit once and for all. After that, the rest is easy.

I quit with you today.

I only ever "stopped" dipping when I tried solo, probably 30-40 times. I only QUIT once, and that was with other addicts like me. The system works.

Kyle - four days quit on your own is badass. The nicotine is out of your system, now your body and brain are going to start to heal. It's going to be hard for a while, but beleive me, it does get easier, and it is absolutely worth it.

Your next step is to get over to the January quit group and post roll.

Here's a video to help you understand how to post roll: Posting Roll on KTC Kill the Can

Roll is our way of promising each other that we will not have nicotine for the day. We post roll every day here. Our system is pretty simple. Wake up, post roll, and keep your word for the day. Then, the next day, do it all over again. Get to know your fellow quitters and learn to support one another and hold each other accountable.

As the saying goes... "Just do it." It works.

Yep, use the Welcome Center and find your quit group. Quitting is hard, but less hard when others are quitting with you. Post roll daily, and soon the SUCK will be over. It's all downhill from here!

4th day.
« on: October 18, 2017, 10:11:00 AM »
I have wanted to quit for about 5 years now... but I have been a pussy about it, "I will quit eventually, I am just too stressed out, its just not the right time." Sunday I woke up, threw my last dip of the can in and went to the gas station to get a new can. Well when I got back home I realized "Shit, I left my can of chew at the gas station.." my 4 year old son was like "first, dad you said a bad word. Second, just quit." now I have heard "You should quit, you can do it, I believe in you.." my whole life from my mom, wife, sister, etc. and it just bounced off of me. I had stopped for a month or two here or there but lets be honest, I had no intention of quitting. I would try to be positive I can do it yay! (I was quite the cheerleader)

Something in my sons voice when he said "Just quit." what I heard is "man the F**K up and quit, its nobody's fault but yours. quit being weak and just QUIT!" I have been in hell every since... it is day #4 and my cravings are worse than they have ever been, I am constantly reaching for my can, telling myself "all you have to do is go buy a can." my arm hurts typing this... I have found that telling myself to quit being weak and man up, you're a dumbass for starting helps for some reason... and instead of saying "I can do it" I have been saying "I am F**king DONE!"

I am confident that I need help... I am not even sure if this post makes sense... but I don't care because I am ranting... I would like to join a group too! 'help' 'bang head' 'Crazy'
