Along with the others --- Tomorrow is day 1

[natemcpherson]

You guys rock. I was a bit late texting back, but I am still quit today. I feel strengthened and also very humbled that I allowed myself to get so close to pissing it all away. The amount of support I received was immense. I am not going back and I need to return to the 'burn the boats' NAFAR stage as was mentioned. I was there before and then it went away when I got complacent.

This shit is very real. I am so proud to quit with you all.

Over to the new groups to pledge support.

Nate day 259

[Raider]

Guys -I need your help. I'm on the verge of caving and I don't want to. It has been building consciously and subconsciously for the past few weeks. I lost most of my gratitude for quitting and then last night it got to thr point where I was actually thinking about a pinch and putting it in my mouth and romanticizing what the Wintergreen Kodiak would taste like.

I stopped posting roll religiously, I spend essentially no time on the site, and I have little contact with you all besides a mostly daily text that I send out to some brothers. Even with the text though, there is very little interaction.

I shared this with my wife and she very obviously got concerned. I've hurt her too many times.

I don't want to cave.

My brain is cloudy - feels like day 1. Tell me what to do and I'll do it.

If you don't want to cave then don't. It comes down to if you want to be quit or not. I can't answer that for you. I have no idea why you would throw 258 days away. I have not ever heard of a reason that was good enough to use again. I doubt you have it either.

You need to post roll and make that commitment for today. Then, get on the phone with those people and talk it out.

There is no reason to stop posting roll. It works. Stopping your posting is just the beginning of a cave. So, get back to it. No one said you had to read intros or go to chat but you did agree to post roll every day. I don't see that it has changed. The expectation is still the same.

You need to take ownership of your quit. It is all on you. I'm glad you reached out but you just told us you put yourself here but not following what works.

I am quit today. My word has already been given. I will quit with you. I can't do this for you.

FU nicotine. Get it together.

Remember the pain, embarrassment, agony and frustration you felt when you caved before?!?!? You can win this battle dude, think about the future not about how you feel in this moment!!! PM me now for digits ...

Rohde

Relax.... Remember your promise .... Focus on quitting today. Then do it. No one can make you cave. You control your actions today. No one else and certainly not nicotine. Battle today. This is most important day of your life. You can do it.

The answer to your crave problem is staring you in the face man. Seriously take a look at what's going on here. You've got brothers here reaching out and willing to help you at the drop of a hat. You've got guys like me that have just started their journey and look up to guys like you. Your wife is concerned and you say you've hurt her too many times. Do you truly want to purposely hurt her again? Do you want to let us all down? What are you going to say to the man in the mirror? Is it all really worth the $5 can of hell you're considering to reign down upon yourself? I'm with the other guys. Own your quit. Commit to your promise.

All that aside, I would like to thank you for strengthening my quit today. You have shown me how important it is to stay commited and involved in my quit. Complacency is a motherfucker. I quit with you guys today. Will you quit with us natemcpherson?

you haven't texted me back yet. I hope you are not pissing your promise away. Go back to ODAAT, remember why you quit. A planned fucking cave is the worst fucking kind.

Nate where you at buddy? I also sent you a text. Hope you received it. Let us know what's going on man. You have a lot of concerned quit brothers/sisters worried about you.

Nate - Swear I would spend some time on the phone talking to those is August you have numbers for. I am heading to the NCSU v Notre Dame game shortly but would love to talk later tonight if you think it will help. I recall you are a teacher and a track coach that is youngish around 30. Personally I have not thought about dip at all. I've somehow managed to get to the burn your boats stage.

You've got some strong numbers in your arsenal. I know many non August long term quitters have your back. Also the conductors from August that welcomed Sept also have your back. Give us a call.

My take is you need to quit the romanticizing immediately. Find a way to hate it. From the depths of your being Only then will you be successful in erasing the thoughts of dip forever.

Chewie and Bronc alluded to this. Think about the next morning when you wake up after a dip. Forget about everyone else, especially your wife. Look at who you see in the mirror. Are you proud? Was it worth it? Or are you a miserable pile of regret? You know the answer, don't be that guy.

Last thing, somehow I got involved in January 15. For whatever reason, no one was giving them any love the first week. I jumped in and did the best I could and I truly believe it was better for me than for anyone in January. Someone suggested to adopt a new quitter. That's a good move but if it works with your schedule, the resolve and strength you will get from adopting a month is immeasurable. That's what got me to the burn the boats NAFAR phase.

Good move reaching out. You have my digits from conducting, feel free to call me anytime after 9:15 ET.

I hated the days you are in. Now at 332 I am beyond it. You gotta hang in there. Caving will not make it better. These struggles we go through suck but for some reason we have to deal with them. Let this strengthen your quit and get your ass back on roll and in chat.

Day 98. There is absolutely nothing that nicotine will do to make my life better. I have quit HUNDREDS of times, only to be lured in by the bitch. Not this time. There is nothing of value in it for me. I tried so long to quit and you all have carried me through almost 100 days. I have been trying to quit for five years. FIVE YEARS. This is the longest I have ever gone without nicotine since I started dipping. I let the nic bitch in my head again today and am grateful I made it to the site tonight and got a text from Stig.

I forgot to post roll today until 10:30pm tonight. Tomorrow - I'll be on bright and early and I won't be forgetting to post roll until late at night anymore. My life is on the line and if I don't start acting like it, I'll be posting a day 1. I hate nicotine and I'm here for my quit brothers. Quit for tonight.

FUCK. nicotine is a motherfucker. I am never cured from this thing. I need some anger back in my quit towards nicotine. I have gotten way too nicey nice towards dipping lately in my mind and this is stopping today.

I'm quit with you all tonight. Random stream of consciousness writing going on here, but the bitch took up residence in my head because I let her in. Grateful to recognize it before I did something stupid.

[Thumblewort]

Day 94 here - struggling more than I had previously in my quit. Bronc suggested I come back to my intro page, get honest, and re-read my story about caving 94 days ago. I don't want to cave. I'm with you guys and gave you my word that I would stay quit today. What do you all do when you get cravings? Life has gotten really good and I hadn't thought about caving until recently. I know the nicotine bitch is still there alive and well.

You know, right around day 100, I went through a phase too, apparently lots of people do. quitforsoj caved right after his hundred, aggieheismanziel caved right after his hundred. But good for you to come back and reread the hell you've been through, now multiple times. Don't do it. It really isn't a good idea and you know that.

Nate, stick to the basics. One day at a time. Keep that in your head. You only have to quit today. Don't worry about tomorrow or the next day. We'll figure that out together tomorrow, but I know it starts with our promise to not use today. So you've got it in you to be quit today. I've got it in my to be quit today. Let's just power through this today. One day at a time adds up.

Can you do me a favor? Can you write down right now, all the awful things about nicotine and chew? write down all the negative impacts it had on your life. Then, write to me right here in your introduction what you'd say to me if I called you right now saying I'm really craving and I might cave. What would you say to me? How would you help me?

You can add to that list of things to send to Bronc - what are the positive impacts caving would have on your life. That should take you all of 1 second to think about becuase caving is going to do NOTHING positive for you. NOTHING! There is now reason whatsoever to go back.

Kick those cravings square in the junk. Quit hard with you today!

Nate I glad you came back here for a reality check. Like we talked about this morning you need to hate the bitch! You can not reminisce about the "good old days" they weren't good and you were slowly poisoning yourself. You have come to far to cave now. We have texted each other daily for 94 days I hope we do that until 10,094 days, but all we have to worry about is today.

I smelled an empty can I found in my car at the end of July. It took me right to the place where you have been the last few days and it took everything in me and wise words from my quit brothers to get my head back on strait. I will never smell it again...I hate it.

In order to be successful I think sooner or later you have to weld the door shut and torch the motherfucker. I think I am there the door is closed and I have the lighter and can of gas in my hands. Our conversation today has reminded me why its time to light the bitch. There is no cure only our daily promise. I am proud to have you by my side Nate...don't let us down.

Hey Nate, the fact that you are here and communicating with us tells me that you don't want to cave. You know how this system works by now and you're using it. That's great. The not so great is the fact that you seem to be listening to the lies about how great chewing was. The nic bitch is mind fucking you and you're letting her do it. I want you to think about how you felt after you caved last time. I want you to remember the look on your wife's face when you caved. I know you don't want to go through that shit again. It's gut check time, Brother. I know you have it in you. I've been right there with you the whole time. Let's get it done today. We'll worry about tomorrow later.

I like the advice you are getting. First, the fact that you reached out is huge. Bronc is correct. When in doubt go back to the basics. No matter how many days, go back to the basics.

Refuse to cave.

The nic bitch hates that it is so simple. Carry on.

Bronc -
- constant lying to my wife - making excuses to leave the house
- scared of cancer
- cost of tins every two days
- bottles of shit spit all over my car
- physically craving it
- never being able to stop no matter how much I wanted to
- I lost part of my gum and had to have a skin graft to replace it (fucked up and true - I told my wife it was from 'hard brushing')
- I accidentally spilled and drank dip spit

Positives
- took my wife to a nice dinner last night with the money I saved and to celebrate 3 months with no nicotine
- I don't have anything in my life that I'm currently lying about
- No fucking lip, gum, throat cancer
- I'm not a slave today
- I've made a lot of quit brothers through KTC
- I have integrity

You guys rock - I'm here for you and I promise I'm not putting that poison into my lip today!

'oh yeah'

This whole thread made my quit stronger today, thank you Nate!

[E&C's Dad]

Day 94 here - struggling more than I had previously in my quit. Bronc suggested I come back to my intro page, get honest, and re-read my story about caving 94 days ago. I don't want to cave. I'm with you guys and gave you my word that I would stay quit today. What do you all do when you get cravings? Life has gotten really good and I hadn't thought about caving until recently. I know the nicotine bitch is still there alive and well.

You know, right around day 100, I went through a phase too, apparently lots of people do. quitforsoj caved right after his hundred, aggieheismanziel caved right after his hundred. But good for you to come back and reread the hell you've been through, now multiple times. Don't do it. It really isn't a good idea and you know that.

Nate, stick to the basics. One day at a time. Keep that in your head. You only have to quit today. Don't worry about tomorrow or the next day. We'll figure that out together tomorrow, but I know it starts with our promise to not use today. So you've got it in you to be quit today. I've got it in my to be quit today. Let's just power through this today. One day at a time adds up.

Can you do me a favor? Can you write down right now, all the awful things about nicotine and chew? write down all the negative impacts it had on your life. Then, write to me right here in your introduction what you'd say to me if I called you right now saying I'm really craving and I might cave. What would you say to me? How would you help me?

You can add to that list of things to send to Bronc - what are the positive impacts caving would have on your life. That should take you all of 1 second to think about becuase caving is going to do NOTHING positive for you. NOTHING! There is now reason whatsoever to go back.

Kick those cravings square in the junk. Quit hard with you today!

Nate I glad you came back here for a reality check. Like we talked about this morning you need to hate the bitch! You can not reminisce about the "good old days" they weren't good and you were slowly poisoning yourself. You have come to far to cave now. We have texted each other daily for 94 days I hope we do that until 10,094 days, but all we have to worry about is today.

I smelled an empty can I found in my car at the end of July. It took me right to the place where you have been the last few days and it took everything in me and wise words from my quit brothers to get my head back on strait. I will never smell it again...I hate it.

In order to be successful I think sooner or later you have to weld the door shut and torch the motherfucker. I think I am there the door is closed and I have the lighter and can of gas in my hands. Our conversation today has reminded me why its time to light the bitch. There is no cure only our daily promise. I am proud to have you by my side Nate...don't let us down.

Hey Nate, the fact that you are here and communicating with us tells me that you don't want to cave. You know how this system works by now and you're using it. That's great. The not so great is the fact that you seem to be listening to the lies about how great chewing was. The nic bitch is mind fucking you and you're letting her do it.
