Not going on prescription drugs but will self medicate, how is that any different? Dumbassery at its finest.
There are no circumstances in which using nicotine will improve the outcome.

My journey. The best part it is not over yet.

Decided to come back to my introduction post (3/27/18) and quit day. It's day 14 for me which is the longest I have gone and it feels great.

I flew through the first 11 days without any problems, yes I had the occasional bump but nothing major.
Day 12 was my worst day yet, I had returned back from family vacation at Disney yes I quite two days before going to Disney, I think it was the best decision since I would be with my family for 8 days and away from any convenience stores).
On Day 12 I was on my way to pickup take out and the urge hit me like a WAVE. If you have ever had a panic attack/anxiety attack you know what I am describing. Starts at your feet and moves through your entire body. What Triggered this??
I was driving to pick up dinner by myself and for the past x years I had always done this with a lip full of skoal mint long cut.
I texted one of the brothers and used some breathing techniques to allow the moment to pass.
I didn't die, I didn't cave, I didn't lose my mind. It was a moment I was prepared for.
Athan called me to see how I was doing This was huge for me. I talked through the urge I had and how it had passed.

Glad I chose to quite on 3/27 and happy to be apart of this great brotherhood.

Day 14

Post roll and we can talk.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Quote from: XxjohnnyquidxxHello,
I am 44 years old and have been dipping since I was a sophomore in HS which was over 20 years ago. I have a wife and 3 kids and decided today that itÃ,’s time to kick this terrible habit. Last year I was able to quit for 7 days but my mom passed away ironically from lung cancer and I immediately went to 7 eleven for a can. I made her a promise that I would quit and today is that day. I am anxious and scared of the next couple of weeks!!
YouÃ,’ve got this! IÃ,’m on day 9 of a 15+ year can-a-day habit. Last Monday I decided to not put a dip in when I woke up in the morning (which was planned) and here I am ... 9 days later, with a healing mouth.

ItÃ,’s been absolutely hard but you know what?! So damn worth it. It sucks. But life is about to be so much more enjoyable.
Welcome!! To both of you....

Couple things... this isn't a habit... this is an addiction... More on that as the fog lifts...

Check out your quit group - topic/30539911/#new

Follow the instructions at the top and get yourself on roll.. It is our daily promise to stay quit. every morning, first thing, we make that promise and spend the rest of the day keeping our word. That simple and that hard.

After this,, you will find a message on the system. upper right corner. I will give you my cell phone number. shoot me a text and we can walk through this journey together.


Drink TONS of water!! and read!! there is so much information here to help you!!

Quit with you today!

Could I quit without KTC? Probably. Let's say it's 99.9% yes, I could quit without KTC. That 0.1% risk of failure isn't worth it to me. That 0.1% is enough to keep me here, long into the future, just to be sure.-srains918

Not sure who Batdad is, but he keeps coming up as an asshole =P so he can be an asshole if it helps others quit lmao. BTW who is batdad? I'm newer so it might be something I am missing. -evillen

With all the craziness swirling around us, it's nice to have certain constants that we can always count on, like Batdad is an asshole. -Rewire

Quitters I have had the honor to meet
Viking, MNxEngineer, PMILS, Weedsta, Natro, Jenahen, Bucky, Palpatine, Gassy, JohninSLP, DonkeyMN, ReWire, Clemte, Wepdoc [/spoiler]
