[pete333]

Fuggit, I'm done then. That pouch was my last one. That shit to never enter my mouth again. My cheeks feel so super smooth already lol let's do it. I guess today can be my official day 1

good on you man.
and good to see you on roll call.

Welcome to the beginning of your quit. This will be one of the best decisions you have ever made. Now keep your word and remain nic free today. I will do the same.

I don't think ya are gettin it. I'm just saying that pouch was the last time I dipped. And I don't think my situation is any different. If anything, easier because your all talking about 30+ years of use when I'm at 6. This should be a cake walk for me compared to what some of you went thru.
I don't think I should have made this thread...

The point was, I was talking to one of my friends dad who I remember smoking like a chimney. He ended up quoting when we were 13 or 14. I asked him how he did it. He told me he stopped many times cold turkey but picked it up again. He said the only way he could handle it was to adjust him self to a decreasing supply nicotine. Over the course of a month and a half, along with increased exorcise he cut his nicotine intake to one cigarette a week. After that, he said the transition to smoke free was seamless. With snuff having a higher concentration of nicotine than cigarettes, one would be led to believe the withdrawal process is more difficult when quitting the dip. So did anyone here try a similar method or just cold turkey??

i get you now man. i dont think your buddys dad did any thing majic by cuttin back. what i think he did majic was dissidin he wasnt gonna smoke agin. we all gotta fite the adickshun day by day. we cant have just one. may be your buddys dad did that the other times he stopped? may be he thot 'just one wont hurt'. thats ware he went wrong.

cuttin back mite make it harder for all i no. think bout this. if i 'reward' my self for goin 3 or 4 hours without dippin with a dip im just reinforsin the adickshun by feedin it... and it makes me feel good. and if it dont make me feel good... well why wood i do that for weeks afore cuttin the nickateen off for good? now insted of 3 or 4 days of reely sucky i got 3 or 4 weeks a mostly sucky.

if you think bout it this way i dont see how any thing but cold turky makes sense.

I chewed Cope Snuff, a can and sometimes more a day, for the last 20 years!!! I used to think tapering down would help, but it didn't! I recommend COLD TURKEY, as this site also recommends it! If your tapering, then it's easy to get back to your normal schedule of dipping...so if your truly ready to quit, then it's a lot easier to say "fuck you dip, fuck you nic, I'm done"! Today, I'm 35 days quit, so if I can do it, then you can do it! I quit with you today!

Ok, I'll say it this way; over 40+ years of addiction and wanting to quit I tried about every possible way of quitting, including tapering off. In fact when I found this site I'd been mixing my cope with fake dip for about a week (which I had done before). I had a quit plan like so many other times, but finding KTC I started reading and being encouraged to quit cold turkey. I'm sure if I'd kept with my plan and not followed the KTC plan I would never have really quit. Nicotine addiction is so powerful very few addicts can do what your friends dad did. I was so desperate to quit that I actually was considering suicide if I failed again. I loathed everything about my addiction but I just couldn't quit. Well friend I quit for the 1212th day today. That may seem like a very long time to you but to me it's just a start because I know I'm just 1 dip away from being right back where I was April 1, 2012. 1212 days after over 15,000 days of use is nothing. The comments you've received aren't meant to be mean spirited rather we are empathetic, we have a attitude of wanting to be honest and helpful. Others might want to sugar coat quitting but no KTC member will sugar coat this process. It's a BITCH but if we can do it, so can you.

Ok read MY LIPS! COLD TURKEY! You act like you don't want to quit! MAN UP AND QUIT DUDE! It is that simple! We can't do it for you. But we can damn sure help you if you join and let us.

Cold turkey.

All that can be said about your questioning.

Cold turkey it NOW!

Cold Turkey only way

Ok. So you are still 19 (or 20+ by now) hours toward having no nicotine in your system (72 hours roughly). That is damn near a third of the way.

Yet, you want to extend slavery and keep adding toxins to you body through this "decreasing supply" over a month and a half (or more because higher nicotine concentration in dip?).

This is what confuses us.

If you simply roll with a cold turkey that you are already 19'hours into, in a month and a half you will be 45 days free, with your metabolism recovered, your mouth recovering, and life getting better than you now think possible. You note you want to keep making it worse while you conjure more excuses.

What your friend did not have in prior attempts was what KTC offers: brotherhood and accountability. He quit by his lonesome (a very impressive achievement), you don't have to.

You can post roll every day with a bunch of bad ass quitters that are right where you are -- promise yourselves and others that you will not use nicotine for 24 hours. Accountability.

You can exchange digits with these same bad ass quitters and veterans to support you and them through tough moments. Brotherhood.

You can use these tools to be a free man today. Brotherhood + Accountability = Success

Or you can dither, generate the excuses all addicts use (yes we have ALL been there), and roll the dice with receding gums, tooth loss, and cancer... even cardio issues. On your hard earned dime.

The reason for cold turkey is it is your first victory over the excuses of addiction. Dive in and 24,000 quitters here will support you to freedom.

Dude what makes you think your situation is different than any of ours? If you want to quit, do it! We understand your fears, we've all been there. But ultimately each of us decided that we were done and we made the commitment. That's how it starts and then we repeat it every damn day!

Right! If you WANT to quit then you WILL.. Ball Up, flush it all and say the word NO and MEAN it. Get your head right and quit, don't TRY don't HOPE, just QUIT.

We all did the same things, but we posted roll every damn day and kept our word our promise to ourselves our brothers and sisters and our families. You Honor your word. Just Do IT.

Well I haven't officially quit but it's been 19 hrs I've had a dip. (Not to justify it) but it was aa pouch.someone offered me one and without a second thought I grabbed one. I think that's going to be the most difficult part of it, being around friends that dip.
It's been easy not dipping at home. I usually don't any way.
A bit more difficult not to at work were I am right now, if I need to go over paperwork or drive I usually throw a dip in. Other than that I'm often working on medical equipment and you don'twant to stick fingers in your mouth after that lol.

But with my friends, it's gonna be tough
Sure they will be supportive but if all I'd have to do is ask a few times and they'd probably give in. How is it for those who already quit?

man i mite not be the smartist bulb in the closet but i aint followin.

you went 19 hours but some buddy tosses you a pouch and you put it in? is that what you say? wtf do you want a partisapashun ribbin or some thing? man i went like 10 days when i went to franse for my sisters weddin. then i got back and crawld rite back to that dirty whore nickateen. dint make me any thing but pathetick.

if your here to quit then dammit quit.

[Nomore1959]

Why not roll with that 19 hours and just extend into a quit? All you need to know is posted above.
