Planned quits have a high failure rate.  Why not quit right now?
Cancel that marathon dipping session you have planned and quit right now.  Dump all your cans down the toilet right now.  Post roll call in your group and embrace the suck.

There are hundreds of quitters waiting on you.

There is no preparing yourself for what you are about to go through. All you are doing is extending the pain and misery by giving yourself withdrawal symptoms and then satisfying them over and over and over. Embrace the suck, post your promise, keep your word for 1 day. That's it, one day. I told myself thousands of times tomorrow was the day and it never came. When I quit by using KTC I was done. Dump it today and post roll. You have no idea what kind of support you will get when you do those 2 simple things.

If you are ready mentally, then what are you waiting for? I promise it wont be any easier to quit tomorrow than it is today. Its gonna suck for a while no matter when you start. So start NOW. Dump your cans out and dont ever put nicotine into your body again. Whatever it takes.

This site provides accountability and amazing support. But we dont let you in until you are nicotine free. No patch, no gum, no lozenge.

Take your life back! Be a slave no more!

We're ready to quit with you, as soon as you are.

Rick

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.
Oh little worm-dirt...you are so scary...F' OFF...!!!

I been doing some homework and mentally preparing. My Dr has perscribed some meds to help I have been switching in and out with smokey mountain herbal. After chewing for 20 years I MENTALLY am done. I want this I need this my wife and kids need this I have failed many many times trying cold turkey. Please if any of you have any other ideas on how to prepare please share. I feel I have failed in the past because lack of preparing. I cannot tell you how happy I was to find a website like this one for ideas and support. Many thanks to the admins who devolped this site.
ffpm,
First off welcome to KTC. I was where you are 99 days ago. I was a 24 year addict. The first thing is to admit to yourself that you are an addict.

Next, join your group (January 2014) and post roll daily. Your group is January 2014 because that is when you will be hitting your HOF (100th day quit). I still use Smokey Mountain, I also use Jolly Ranchers, Life Savers, sunflower seeds, and drink tons of water.

Prepare for the suck which it sounds like you are. Next comes the anger management. Find an outlet, shooting clays, hitting a punching bag, working out, turning a wrench on a car, home remodeling. Just divert your anger away from anywhere but yourself.

Finally, use this site, read, send your spouse the spousal support information, read the stories, read the intros, and most of all get involved. Once you get comfortable exchange phone numbers with other quitters.

Now look in your (inbox) on here for a PM I sent you with links and my phone number. Now go join your group in January 2014 quit group. Call me and I will help guide you through posting roll.
