1st Minute of the first day of my journey

[xuswimmer13]

Thanks for the motivation the taking a lap around the building helped alot and so did the seeds


can happily say just wrapped up work at the office and heading home still on my quit.


Time to get home kiss my wife and daughter without any dip on my breath for first time in ages.


Im sure ill be back on here or chat tomorrow as I am sure it will get worse before it gets better.


Just curious as I have talked to multiple brothers who have recommended  Smokey MTN Snuff or etc as a replacement and was just curious what everyone thoughts on it were. Is it easy to give up as you get further along and past 100 days?

Just a couple pieces of advise that come to mind.....
EMBRACE the suck and make quitting your NUMBER ONE goal. Think about these two things right now. Today is my HOF Day and I am on top of the world. 101 days ago I could probably chew you under the table. Today, I am quit with you. Are you quit with me ???

Congrats man!!!


Honored to quit with you!

Listen to these men. They will deliver you to the Nicotine-free Promised Land. They know the way.

They also know something that you don't...that YOU can do this. We have all walked in your shoes.

Keep walking.

I quit with you today.

Stay Strong Brother....I am just ahead of you by a handful of days and the SUCK is called that for a reason. I am on Day 7 and it was my first day back to work. It was a bitch but I made it! If you need someone to call, reach out....sent you a PM

I was going to see if you could jump into chat and we could talk.

When you are back on the site, go over to chat and meet some people.

We have all been there and it helps to talk about it. It also helps to laugh a little and there are some damn comedians here.

Stay close to the site, read, post and if you can...get into chat tonight.

This is a big day. Stick with it and you will always remember your quit day.

Mine is March 14, 2012 So I haven't touched nicotine for 623 days and I am so glad I found KTC.

Be a fighter and call for help when its too much. (Its not but sometimes you need numbers to cheer you on and keep you swinging!)

The best tool is to get on the site and read or join live chat. These things saved me countless times. That's often impossible at work, so you need to start planning ahead for hard cravings.

1. Get digits and text a quit brother/sister. Folks here will encourage you, distract you, whatever it takes to get through the few minutes that a crave actually lasts.

2. Get something for your mouth. Seeds. Gum. Toothpicks. Atomic Fireballs. Jolly Ranchers. Whatever. I bought 600 packs of sugarless gum, chewed gum by the handful, and had the weirdest shits ever.

3. Drink a glass of water and go for a walk.

4. Focus on the crave and really feel it. Think about it hard, and try to see it for what it is: nicotine trickery. This one is debatable, but if you meditate or if you are generally introspective, you'll learn a lot about yourself, perception, and your brain by analyzing the mechanics of a crave.

5. If all that fails, go find one of those desks with a drawer in the center, right underneath the work area, and then slam your nuts in the drawer until the craving goes away. "JUST ONE" is not an option. There is no just one.

1 day into the suck and hurting.


Call it the Law of Skoal but the day i agree to get serious about this and get help the universe fires all my normal triggers at me.

Stuck at the office looking at atleast a few hours of overtime and work stress used to be my go to dip time. Of coarse the first day I'm facing that challenge.

Staying strong with a big ass bag of seeds, water and a page of Hall of Fame speeches...

Nobody said it would be easy but nothing worthwhile ever is.

Any tips on how to handle these situations? I was so programmed to throw in a dip as soon as work stresses me out and i have to stay late.

Are you still on the site and at the computer?

Do what you are doing right now! Seeds are good and staying close to the site! A quick set of push-ups or a short walk would be good if you can do that at work. Stay active. No offense to work.. But your quit is more important today so do what you have to do to stay clean. And not get fired!

Biggest piece of advice is to keep Skoal out of you pie hole. Don't give in bro. Fight to stay quit today. You can do it! Quit with you all day.

Sorry in advance for the stream of conscious..

My name is Brian. I have been dipping for 10 years.. I have tried to quit many many many many times.Never really made it longer than a week.

Was sitting at work with a dip in and finally decide I was done with it. I came to the is site and instantly realized this was the type of community I needed. I was going to post earlier till i read No posting while still dipping. For some reason that really struck me as the call to stop being such a puss about this and half assing it and save myself.

At my current pace i was using 3 pouches at a time 3-4 times a day. My wife hates it so I hide it from her waiting to dip after she has gone to bed or making up errands that needed to be done so i could find an excuse to get 20 minutes of dipping in.

My real breaking point was today i had gone 48 hours without dipping and on my way to get some work done late tonight stopped and bought another tin. The defeat crushed me and despite the relaxation that dip gave me the failure was even worse.

I just took out the dip i had and just threw out my full tin in the garbage. So I am all in. I have set all the bull shit dates for quitting and said this is my last one atleast 10000 times. Its time for me to get real about this.

I have a 4 year old daughter and a son on the way in December and all I want is to know that when he comes I will be on the road to living right.

Hoping with all the amazing support i read in these forums that I will be able to get there.

Hey swimmer. I'm right here with you. We both quit together. March 2014 brothers. We can do this.

This is good guys, lean on each other. Make sure you have one another's phone numbers so you can hold each other accountable. Lots of great veteran support here but sometimes early on, having someone in your quit group to keep up with daily, every couple days is huge.

Keep up the quit guys, I quit with you today!

I don't know...quitting is hard....what makes you think you can do it?

I could sit here and blow smoke up your ass about why this will be different and why I know i will be macho and do it, but that would be a lie...

I am scared to death that I will not be able to do this. I have been doing it for 10 years and I know it will not be easy to give up. I know its going to be a day by day struggle for now until my last day on this earth because there is no cure for my addiction only recovery.

I came here and joined this forum because I know it will be hard and because I wasn't sure I could do it myself. If I could have done it alone I would have done it alone.

SO back to the original question what makes me think I can do it is that I desperately want to, that i have a community to help me, and that I have the motivation of being dip free before my kids ever really remember seeing their Dad dip in front of them.

I was just giving you a hard time. If I can quit, anyone can.

Quitting is really simple.

Read everything on here, post roll call each morning and don't dip. Wow....that sounds so easy, doesn't it?

If you read through the other intro's you may see some of my same words on them but they always hold true so I will just repeat them...

You are in for one nasty fight but you have the tools here to make it.

Go load yourself up with gum, mints, fake chew, seeds and beef jerky. Also get some member phone numbers right now, they will help you through the rough parts.

Next, exercise to exhaustion every single day and drink so much water that you feel like you may bust. Both of these will help.

Make sure your wife reads about what you are going through. 99% chance that you are going to be a short fussed dick for the next 3-4 weeks. Try not to take it out on her and the kids. Get on here and take it out on us, we will be fine.

I quit with you.

No worries. Figured you were busting my chops. Thanks for the advice and I appreciate your help already.
