Its for real this time

[FLLipOut]

I'm ashamed to admit that the last time that i attempted to quit dip, i didnt last a month. I started posting on this site then and i just didnt get the job done. The last time that i quit, i wasnt really quitting for myself. I think last time i was just doing it to make other people happy. This time I am doing it for myself. I want to quit this time. I took the final dip that will ever go in my lip out at 11:30am on December 21st, 2016. I was on vacation from work and refinishing floors in my house. I was leaving the local lumber yard and was oout of chew. I figured there was no better time than that moment to get the quit started. I have an app that is tracking how much money that i am saving. That is very motivating. I will make it this time. No excuses. My cravings dont come very often. When they do, i just chew more gum. The only big effect that i have been noticing is a depressed feeling. That comes and goes. I have no reason to be depressed. Hopefully those feelings pass soon.

I am 100% confident that this is my last quit. I will not fail!

bmac, welcome back. Finding the right reasons to quit is so important for a sustained quit. I quit a few times in the past for the wrong reasons and it didn't last for me either.

That sort of empty, depressed feeling will come and go - unfortunately for a while. Your brain is missing its dopamine fix. At 169 days, I still have to contend with it now and again. Do things to keep your dopamine levels up. Read THIS list. Maybe something there will help. Just know in time, it will get better as long as nicotine never enters your body again. That's the only way to stop this.

You can do this. PM me if you need digits or anything.

Oh i know i didn't even come close to doing everything i could the last attempt. I am definitely doing everything i can this time. Some days are better than others. Today has been a good day this far. I can do this. I will do this!

Answer the three questions in your new quit group and your old quit group.

The proof is in the pudding, if you want it, follow the KTC formula!

Show us what you go

Bmac, welcome to KTC..if you take a look at your past attempts to stop, you will note that you did not do everything you could to quit. Here you must commit to the quit. You MUST post roll and make that promise to your quit group that you will NOT use nicotine that day. You will repeat this for as long as you stay quit. Someone will be along soon to give you further directions. Also, killthecan.org also will calculate your quit days and money saved.
See you around!

I support your idea of saving your money for the gun. It's good to have a goal like that set up. However make sure you continue a goal when that one is reached.

I take $200 a month and put it in the stock market. It keeps me busy tracking the progress and reinforces the fact of what a huge waste of money it is to buy a little can and stuff it in your face.

I was only spending about $100 a month, but the same idea. I am really starting to enjoy this being quit thing. I have been so busy with work that it hasn't even been popping in my head very often. But when it does pop into my head, I come and check on this site. I feel like you guys are watching me all the time and will come and kick my ass if I ever even think about caving! I'm not big on confrontations so I will just stay quit!

I don't know if I will be doing any can dumping, but I might grab out a pinch and throw it directly in the trash! I will dedicate it to my "dead homies". I think that will be a little less confrontational but will still get the point across! HAHA

I had a rough night of sleeping last night. I woke up every couple of hours. I woke up around 4 AM so I just decided to get ready and go the the gym for my workout a little earlier. It was probably one of the better workouts that I have had in a while!

Welcome Brother!!

I am a fan of the can dumping also. However there can be dire consequenses. Please read below and act as you see fit. This was posted by Phat Pauly... Still brings tears to my eyes.


Well boys... great fuckin idea.

"Just take the fuckin can and dump it out"... what could possibly go fuckin wrong?

Fuckity fuck fuck fuck. Ever seen a 6' 220lb guy laughing like a mother fuckin hyena running away from a 5'6" about 140 lb guy who is full on Chugg raging at the loss of a $22 tin of cancer?

Did I mention that we got some late spring bullshit snow storm here last night?

Any of you fuckers stop to think that fuckin around at work is likely frowned upon by the big wigs?

So... the little bastard comes up and goes "Shit Pauly... you know you want some, you can't stay quit forever." Sure, i say, gimme a little dip.

then Pauly takes the tin, pulls the top off it, sticks the finger and thumb in, and then proceeds to make like he's gonna take a real big fuckin dip.

Pauly grabs a great big dip then flicks into the air like fuckin pixie dust. the Pauly puts the can down on the concrete floor and stomps on it with his work boot and begins to giggle like a school girl.

Then, the rage starts. This guy is so goddam mad that he is literally ranting incomprehensible sounds and snarling.

Of course, this is VERY amusing, so Pauly begins to laugh uncontrollably. Like, tears running down my face busting a fuckin gut HOWLING.

Ever try running away from an insane little man while unable to breathe you're laughing so fuckin hard? He's chasing me around the trucks and throwing random punches and kicks and I'm still giggling. He's getting madder and madder, so i round the corner at the front of one of the trucks and get fancy... BUTTON HOOK!!!

Well, Mr Angry chewer slips in a puddle on the concrete floor. Mr Angry Chewer's noggin goes thwack on the bumper and then the concrete.

This just keeps gettin funnier and funnier, so now I'm leaning on the hood trying to catch my breath howling and fucking laughin so hard I think I'm gonna die.

Then, Pauly's boss's boss comes out of the office to find out what the fuck is goin on. He looks even angrier... Ever try explaining that what I'm told looks like I laid a fuckin whuppin on this guy is the result of advice from a bunch of insane mother fuckers I've never met? And an "accident"?

Well... Pauly got sent home early today. I think the words were "I can't even fuckin deal with you right now... Get the fuck outta here... go home."

Is it bad that I'm still fuckin laughing typing this 7 hours later?

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it.  It is starting to get a little tougher today as I am starting to get more stress with my job as the day day rolls on.  There are many people that chew here in our office, and it is around me all the time.  I have not even been tempted even seing their can sitting on their desk.  Its actually more of a motivator!

If they offer you one, accept the can.....pour it out on the floor in front of them....step on it, hand the can back all the while smiling, thank them kindly, turn and walk away! I can guarantee that they will never tempt you again!

Don't worry, after a while the envy you feel will turn to pity for them.... then indifference! Have you noticed how bad their breath smells yet? That WAS you! Ass mouth!

Stay quit! You are doing it!!!!!

'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup'


....and be prepared to fight or run! haha! I know one other dipper. I rarely see him, but I am SOOOO going to do this if he offers me a dip. haha!

[Maverick55]

Pretty soon you will start to see that they are envious of you, not the other way around (have you ever known a dipper who wasn't about to quit?). You might even steer a few of them to this site - all of this will help your quit. However, be cautious around other dippers right now as you pose a threat to them - they WILL try to derail your quit. Don't let that happen.

bmac,

welcome to the suck brother.

You are not alone! 230 days ago I made the same decision and now I can't imagine my life any other way. I was sick and tired of being a slave to dirt. Tired of the constant worry of Cancer and leaving my beautiful young life alone in this world....all because I was too thick headed to let go of my addiction.

Keep your head up and start posting roll in April 2010.

bmac, welcome to the third day of the rest of your life. You've just made the best choice you could possibly make. This website will inform you, motivate you, provide you with an outlet and most importantly will hold you accountable. I just sent you a PM which should be in your inbox now - go check, upper right hand side. A vet by the name of Ready sent this to me my first day here and it was extremely helpful. (If you read this Ready - thanks). Read it, follow the links, follow the instructions and post role - which I see you have not yet done. This site works by you posting role each day which is your promise not to dip that day - keep your word, repeat tomorrow. You follow that recipe you'll make this.

Congrats on your decision and I'm proud to be quit with you. Respond to my PM if you need a number, I'll happily give you mine. If you need help, reach out. You'll find plenty of support here.
