First Day Freak Out

[syndrome]

Hello all,

I've convinced myself for a while now that I needed to quit, and finally, I decided that today was the day I would not put in a dip.

I'm only 6 hours in and I'm chewing gum like a madman. I can't sit still. I feel like I want to go outside and yell.

I keep reading the articles and posts on the website, knowing that all of you have felt this way before and it won't last forever. Just writing this is calming me down a little but I still have to drive past the gas station after work. If I say here that I won't stop on the way home for a tin, it gives me more reason not to. So I'm going to say I will not buy a tin today.

I'll check back in tomorrow and let you know how it went.

Happy Day 1.

Then read #4 again.

We post roll here. That is the price of admission. Welcome to the freak show. I will guarantee you someone here knows exactly what you're going through. In fact, most of us do.

There are three simple steps to freedom:

1. Post Roll EVERY day.

2. Keep your WORD.

3. Repeat.

We don't do well around here with 'trying', or 'checking in tomorrow to let us know how it went'. We commit. We do. We Quit.

If you need help getting through the next few days (and you will), PM me with any questions. I'll get right back to you. If not me, just ask out loud, and about 100 guys will jump at the chance to walk your path with you. Trust me.

Congratulation on the best decision you EVER made.

Now let's get to it.

Are you ready?

I'm right there with you. Quitting today for the 100th. time. Going on 18hrs.. All those triggers throughout the day. I just felt myself reaching my side pocket for a chew and didn't realize it until I felt the square pack of gum in the same pocket. Best of luck. I know I'm in for the long haul on this one.

Stoner,

Great decision to quit and come to KTC. I will give you the same recommendation, go to the November quit group and post roll call.

Also, feel free to start a new topic on the Introduction page to tell us all a little bit about your self.

Proud to quit with you, shoot me a pm if you need anything.

Welcome, you have come to the right place. You are doing the right thing by reading everything you can on this site, it'll get ya through the suck. Also if you feel like going outside and yelling, then do it! Yell at nicotine, do whatever it takes to stay quit. PM me if ya need anything.

[steve1357]

Congrats on your decision.

Go to the November Quit Group and post roll. Roll call is your promise that you will not have any nicotine for the day. Make this promise now, so no temptations later today will allow you to cave (unless your word means nothing).

Click on the Salmon Welcome Center link on the top of the screen. This will show you how to post roll.

And tomorrow, you will not need to check in and "let us know how it goes". Instead we will all know that you did not chew, and you will repost your roll call, promising that you will not chew.

Shoot me a pm if you have any questions
