Day 1 is coming...Need advice-Grizzly Mint

[Jubs]

Do you realize you posted this a good time after I posted Roll? I have made this promise to myself one time. The promise is this quit I am on right now. If you break that promise to yourself to quit you are weak. I will not be weak. This quit is 1 year, 10 months in the making. It was set for Jan. 1st, 2015. Yet here I am on day 3. No Fake has touched my lip. I don't need this site to quit. I need to keep nicotine out of my system to quit. This site is a tool to help me quit.

I am not a lone wolf. I am here and quitting today just like you. Can I do this on my own? I am confident I can. Do I want to do this on my own? Hell no. Why would I when I can help others and others can help me. This is what life is all about. Helping and being helped.

Thanks for your advice though. For every 100,000,000,000 that come before me walking the same walk and talking the same talk, there will be one badass motherfucker who tears nicotines fucking head off and sends themselves in to a nicotine free infiniteness. Hi, Im the GrizzlyBear.

Day 3 'Finger'

Think I was writing it as you were posting roll. Timing of it doesn't matter, was just trying to share some advice.

You got all the answers though, so you don't really need anything from me.

Quit on...

Ignorance is bliss.

Notice how all these people who are trying to help you have quit dates in 2010, 2012, 2013? I really don't think they came in here just to type for the sake of typing. So stop with the know-it-all bullshit and read what they have to say; these people are here trying to help you overcome an addiction.

You're right with your last paragraph and the funny thing is every person that comes in here with that attitude thinks they'll be the one. Seldom happens. Just don't burn your bridges before you cross them.

As for your question about fake, you will not find any replacement with the same texture/feel... I know this because I was on the same hunt as you when I quit. I also used green tea and found that toothpicks helped because they gave my mouth something to do.

I wish you the best in your quit.

My Grandpa's passing has not made me falter. It has made me even stronger and cemented my future in stone. Honestly, I have experienced much worse feelings then I am right now from nicotine withdrawal. I think the common cold is worse then this. Maybe it will get worse but right now (46 hours free) I feel great. I don't even crave or think about dipping already. On a scale from 1-10 my quit so far has been a 3 or 4 tops.

I am going to attempt to post roll so all you quitters that need my name on there can have it. Whether its on there or not though I won't be dipping. I will post roll for all of YOU and I will continue to quit dipping for ME! I already promised myself I am done before roll so it doesn't mean much to me, my promise to myself means much more. Hopefully my roll helps others =)

I used to promise myself I would quit all the time. But then I wouldn't and it wasn't a big deal because what was the real consequence? There was none. It's easy to let yourself down because in your mind, especially an addict mind, you can easily justify not only why you didn't follow through on the promise you made to yourself but how you will do it right "next time".

You're new and it doesn't sound like your embracing the concept of brotherhood and accountability... probably because you don't know any of us, so you don't feel like you "owe" us anything. We're all just a bunch of weirdos on a quit forum...almost like a cult.

I used to feel the exact same way. I didn't get it. Who the fuck are these people and why should I promise them shit? I used to think that all the time.

However, when I started putting my promise down next to a bunch of other people who were fighting the same battle I was, I started to feel like there was something bigger going on and I needed to hold up my end of the bargain. Then...as time went on and I got to know some of these weirdos more, I didn't want to let them down and I also didn't want to see them fail. We had eachothers backs and picked eachother up when we were struggling. So while I was ultimately quitting for ME , that extra layer of accountability I got from posting roll was something that really strengthened my quit...it reall surprised me.

You're two days have been a breeze and that's great but you're only a few steps into a pretty rough journey. If I had a dime for every person who came through here claiming quitting was easy, posting roll wasn't necessary, it's only about ME, and then suddenly disappeared like a fart in the wind...I'd have a couple thousand dollars.

Don't post roll just to get us of your back. Post it because you're serious about quitting and build some accountability into your quit.

I'm 854 days quit and I can honestly tell you there's no way I could have made it this far without posting roll and building accountability.

You're "lone wolf" attitude is b.s. If quitting for yourself was so easy and you could do it on your own, why did you end up here? This place ain't so bad. Don't believe me? Post roll and find out for yourself.

EDIT: Thanks to MN_Ben, Roll has been posted. Price of Admission paid.

[Ginet]

Grizz - when you tell me that you are "too foggy to post roll" that is an excuse. I was foggy. Everyone was foggy. We still posted.

Saying "if someone want to do it for me be my guest" isn't going to work. You need to post YOUR roll and give YOUR word. Ain't no one gonna be able to do that for you. You can't ask someone to post your roll because you haven't made the first post.

.....here's to your special butterfly plan. I hope that it works for you. You really don't need to plan because this place works the way it is. I see that you are going to do it your way. Good luck with that.

Post roll and I will continue to help you.

You can't hang out with paying admission - which is roll.

Wow and now day 2 I found out my last living grandparent (grandpa) died. Still no nicotine in my lip!

Go to the main page and right above introductions is quit groups. Once there, scroll down until you see January 2015. This is the month you will hit 100 days (hall of fame). Got to the most current page and then all the way to the bottom post. Might help to have 2 tabs open. The posting instructions are on the roll in green font.

Sorry to hear about your grandpa.

[DippingHurtsGains]

Sorry to hear about your grandpa. You are wise to stay away from the nic bitch, she only puts people in the ground, doesn't bring them back. If it starts getting to you, please come into live chat and vent or get at one of your contacts.

Thanks South Paw for an awesome and helpful reply! Luckily I have not even needed the fake stuff. Seeds, Water, and Gum have been doing me wonders.

Ginet: This is my first quit, the date was unplanned, but the process of learning what to expect has been thorough. Also I actually am happier without dip then I was with it. Even with these withdrawals. The plan can work exactly the way you want it to. You have to DO it. That's the key. I am doing it and I won't stop doing it.
I am to foggy to even try to post roll. I have attempted to do it a few times and just don't get it. If someone wants to do it for me be my guest. But this CTRL X, Square, Circle, R1, L2 Cheat code stuff don't compute. I also don't no where to post. Just because I don't have a roll posted doesn't mean I am not here though. I am still nicotine free and fighting through each day to freedom!

You were a grizz mint guy? Be wary of this but smokey mountain Arctic mint tastes like what you remember grizz mint to be. You'll realize eventually that grizz mint actually tasted like shit and the nic whore just convinced you that steaming pile of death was mint. I actually had a panic attack day 16 because I thought I had caved with smokey mint in my lip. Be cautious and be prepared.

I had a plan to quit to. I bought a log of grizz and said when I'll finish this log and then I'll quit. Well I finished it. Then decided I should wait till July 1st to quit. The best decision I ever made was waking up the morning of June 28th and saying fuck it and posting roll. Today I'm at 99 days.

These people tried to press you to quit immediately because they have seen many people come in here saying they plan to quit on x day. Then they never come back. Glad to see you are here now post roll every day and be a quit mother fucker.

[Ginet]

No I didn't. But I have spent 24 hours nicotine free. I had a few times that didn't feel right but this is easy when you want to quit for yourself. Or atleast day 1 was easy.

EDIT:
And to all you shitting down my neck for being prepared and actually wanting to have a plan for my quit. Thanks for all your shitty advice that did absolutely nothing. People come here to quit. OBVIOUSLY its simple. QUIT. But if people have questions about their quit, answer their questions, not just rabble shit that has nothing to do with what was asked. If you can't answer the question then why are you typing? If this is what this place is ill continue this quit on my own. I am not quitting for any of you. You can do that for yourself. I am quitting for ME. 30+ Hours nicotine FREE 'Finger'

Okay. So let's start by posting roll. You need to continue to be true to yourself by posting roll each day. Make the promise to yourself and then to all of us. Please go post roll.

Next, let's move on to the frustration you are feeling on day two (assumed by your Edit post). There is nothing wrong with being prepared or wanting to have a plan for your quit. Why people may get on your shit for it is because we all know that those plans never really work out that way. We think we have everything handled and we are ready to go "start our quit" but in reality, we have nothing figured out and nothing falls into our "plan"

So, when we see people planning to quit, it reminds us of our own previous attempts.....Do you know how many birthdays I have "planned to quit" or New Year's or first of the month etc? I am sure you have gone thru that too. The plan is nice and rather comforting but in our quit world, it doesn't work. So the attacks are not personal.....they are just a tough love way to make you stop wasting time on your PLAN and just get to quitting.

A lot of questions you have are answered within the wall of KTC via reading.....

Have you done some reading here?

Listen Grizzlymint. I am glad you are on day two. That is awesome. I like that you are raging.....keep being mad....hate nicotine....scream and yell at us....we can take it. Just keep that shit out of your mouth. That's our goal.

No - you should not quit for anyone but yourself. Please know that we will support you 100 percent, but includes taking some tough love advice if you get more of it. Quitting is hard. Sometimes we have to be hard.....to get into your addict brain.

So - you can keep getting support and make your quit even stronger by having thousands of us stand behind you. To get that, you need to post roll. Roll is the reason I am quit. You don't have a plan better than Roll. It works. Use it. Without it, you are already planning to cave.

....quitting like a girl all day .....

I definitely didn't find more Grizzly Mint. At 1 a.m. October 4th I will be 1 Day nicotine free. I feel fine. I am feigning like a dope head but I am fine. This isn't bad too bad. Cold turkey none the less. Seeds, Gum, and water have helping me alot. I bought Bacc Off wintergreen but haven't dipped it yet. Just open the can and smell it like the feign I am. Seems to do the trick for me. No chew in the house all flushed down the toilet. I am done.

That all sounds great......but did you post roll? I may have missed it so I am just checking.
