60 Hours In............

[bigskyken]

Great decision you've made, Menace. Invest in your growing hatred of nicotine, and you'll find each moment's quit easier to get through. Like you, I've been addicted to her for a long time, and really must have thought I loved her, yet she only gave me deceit, lies and fear. She'll come begging for you to take her back, don't believe her evil whispers. Don't look back, and keep her at bay moment by moment, hour by hour, and day by day.

I'm glad to be quit with you today!

Well I posted my first roll call in the February group since my actual quit day was 11/20/13. Not sure I did it right, but my name is on the bottom of the list. If I messed up hopefully someone can direct me on how to properly post roll.........

Looks like you did fine Menace except that if you quit on 11/20 your on Day 4 today! Don't sweat it though, we've all messed up roll call, bumped someone off it.... etc etc.

The important thing is you show up and post everyday, you'll get the hang of it in no time. Stay involved, offer to help out with the group spreadsheet. Whatever it takes to stay quit. It will get better, I promise.

One of our mods is fond of saying "It will suck until it doesn't, then it won't" Post early, keep your promise, brighter days ahead.

You have confused me, its 11/23 I think so if my quit day was 11/20 then this would be day three I think? Anyway the day is a bit of a blur so who knows........STILL QUIT!

Welcome to quit Menace. Stick around, these boys will show you how its done. Read, read, read man, the goods are here.

Let me help you with your day count.

11/20 Day 1
11/21 Day 2
11/22 Day 3
11/23 Day 4

It's called the fog man, don't sweat it, we have ALL been thru it. The good news is that soon the poison will be completely out of your system. It is all a mental mind game after that.

You can do this, I quit with you.

Welcome menace. I had trouble counting early too. Just get your name on roll every day brother. You can do this! QLF today!

Thanks to all for the support and encouragement. I'm still quit right now and have no intention of folding today............

I just about lit some guy up at the grocery store though.....You might get a kick out of this. It started because he was being a dick to the deli counter help. I was standing nearby getting some meat and cheese. He was a dude using one of those powered carts because he is overweight and out of shape. He looked about 60, my guess is early 50's though. Anyway after he tossed the item he was looking at back into the display and basically shouted a the employees about crappy customer service he rolled by me...............this was after an earlier episode of being a jerk 2 minutes ago at the same counter BTW.

I had to say something..... 'bang head' .....I did......

Told him to quit being such an asshole to people and he might get better service. He didn't like my comment and old fat boy can apparently walk because he got out of the cart quick enough and walked over to me. He asked if I had a problem. I told him that I didn't have a problem, but he might want to stop being such a jerk. I stood my ground staring right at him. He decided that today was a good day to leave the grocery store in one piece apparently and walked away. The deli guys both told me thanks! I told them, I know you can't say it, but I can. A manager then came over to speak with the jerk and couldn't make him happy either, he then came over and apologized to me for this customers behavior. I told him that he didn't need to apologize for some other asshats behavior. Some people must really hate life..........

Got home and told the wife about this and she told me that it was a good thing that he walked away. I agreed, it could have gotten real ugly, trying to piss into my Wheaties today... :blink:

Nice work there. I always tell myself that I am surrounded by assholes. Irony always do the right thing but when. See anyone man or woman acting a fool when someone is doing their job and trying to please the customer I jump right in and let my opinion be known.

There have been several times in public that I had a similar experience. Well done bro, now use that same bravado and gumption to propel your quit daily.

The now if some asshole tries to impact your quit don't hesitate, clean their damn clock!

Figured it was time to post up my intro, been lurking for a little while now. I am currently 60 hours into my quit. I actually took my last dip on Tuesday November 19th but initially was going to try with the patch to help. I found this site with its recommendation to go cold turkey from the Nic Nic so after that first day with a patch I went CT. Gotta say it has not been fun at all and today's first thought upon awakening was for a dip of Cope. I think today is going to be a tough one.....but I only need to quit for today and I will worry about tomorrow, tomorrow! Been dipping since I was about 13 years old. Stopped after HS to only start smoking for a few years and then quit the smokes and went back to the dip.  Started with Hawken, moved to Kodiak and have been with that bitch Cope now for about 17 years. Figured after 25 years of this crap, I need to move on with my life without her.

I am an addict, I love the taste of Cope, I love her smell, the way she looks at me. I remember that first date when she gave me that nice little buzz that made me feel warm all over. She was with me in class in High School, she was by my side during all those baseball games growing up. I can't remember how many campfires she has been to with me or keg parties when I was a teenager. She was even there the first time I made love to a woman I think, just hangin out in my pocket. She is so awesome, never complains about where or what I want to do with her, she just quietly rides along in my pocket. She has traveled with me all over this planet, giving me a refreshing boost of her Nic when needed. She has been with me during good times and bad times, my constant little friend in my pocket. So easy to use, so good to taste......That seductive little bitch, she doesn't want me to think about how much money I wasted on her or how much she really controls my life from her position of power, always in my pocket. Well you little vixen, we are done, over. I fucking QUIT, DO YOU HEAR ME, I QUIT.

The only Easy Day was Yesterday!

Damn Menace,

I thought I romanced the Kodiak bear in my intro, holy shit..... What will happen as you put some +1's together is that you will realize that the nic (cope) bitch is a nasty crack whore with not teeth and her snatch falling out from some kind of awful venereal disease.

She has lied to us for years telling us "just one more" and "you'll quit tomorrow" Don't believe her lies, like Srans said with time you will hate it, hate that you were a slave to something that was slowly killing you.

Quitting is hard and you will feel foggy and out of sorts for a bit, it will ease up after the first 72 hours though as your body is detoxing. Stay close to site and reach out to the guys sending you their number, they will save your ass if you let them. Check your inbox for mine as well, I'll quit with you today!

I also see you have not posted roll yet.

Check out here: Welcome Center

Then head over to the February '14 pre HOF quit group (60 hours puts your quit date at 11/21 if my math is on point?). They will be your brothers battling through that first 100 days together.

[Sparrow]

M-Menace...welcome, man! Awesome to have you. The replies you got here are dead on. Your thinking will change. Your body must physically withdrawal from that seductive bitch, but after a couple weeks of it, it will get easier.

One of the things that really helps me is keeping a can of Smokey Mountain Herbal Snuff close by. They offer lots of flavors and it's crazy how similar it is to the real thing. You can even find it retail at Wal-Mart.

Good luck in your quit, bro. ODAAT (One Day At A Time). PM me if you want some digits to text in a bind. I'll talk you off the cliff :)

Only Easy Day Was Yesterday! You can do this!

Welcome to KTC, read up on the site. Hit the welcome center and just spend all your free time here.

First things first, your love affair has to end. That can has done nothing for you. Trust me I use to think just like you. I am 269 days in on a 24 year habit.

Learn to hate her, the nic is a whore. She stole your money, she stole your life, your freedom and made you a salve to her. Clam your life back and realize it was all bullshit. She has done nothing for you but filled you with a material that could kill you and steal your money.

I quit with you today. Hit me up if you need anything.

Welcome Menace! I agree with KKLJ, you need to learn the facts about your love for nic. The only positive thing you might have gotten from nicotine is staying regular (natural laxative). Your addict brain simply associates good feelings and things with dip, when in reality it is a negative relationship. Any good feelings were just a reduction in the withdraw symptoms whenever you threw a fatty in. Nic dominated your thoughts, trashes you health, teeth, makes you a liar. Do those sound like good things? Understanding addiction is the best way to managing it. I quit with you today!

[srans]

Congrats on a great decision. Lets take a look at some things that will help you. First off, you stated.

I think today is going to be a tough one

Then you went on to state how you need to take it one day at a time. I say, break it down farther my friend. A crave normally lasts less than 5 minutes, so just worry about this second my friend. Some seconds will be easier than other seconds, but the fact is this second is all you need to think about.

I love the taste of Cope, I love her smell, the way she looks at me.

This ^^^ thinking will change with time. Learn to hate the poison. It has done absolutely nothing for you except take. It started with your money, then added time from your family and years of slavery. The only thing the poison does is fill the hole it created. The poison continues to take until there is nothing left (literally). I've learned to hate the poison and you can to. It looks like dirt, smells like death and I will not dwell on the taste. To think about the taste puts tears in my eyes. The taste means SLAVER again. I have been free for 282 days and love my freedom.

Read, read and read everything you can on nicotine and addiction. Began learning the truth. Learn your enemy, it knows you. Right now you are what I call tin headed. That needs to change if you want to be successful.

60 hours is a great beginning. Keep your head pointed forward and stick with your plan, because it's a good one. Need a number let me know. Glad to be quit with you.
