Getting Back

[rdad]

Are you quit Tapper? Nothing from you since Friday.

Welcome! You have made the right choice by joining and posting roll. Posting roll and keeping your word one day at a time will lead you to freedom. And today is a win!

By the way, you have a great intro. But I read a little more into it. Here is what I read:

I'm a college student that has a lot of good things going on in my life. I win at a lot of things, in fact there is only one thing in my life that I hate. It brings me shame, it steals my money, and it is destroying my health. Today I'm gonna stop losing at the only thing in life that I lose at. And today I'm gonna win!

And that, sir, is what you are doing!

Today will probably have some tough moments. big deal. You win!

If I can help or if you need a number for accountability shoot me a pm. It is great to have another winner join us.

Nailed it, pretty spot on there big guy.

Today hasn't been too terrible with class taking a lot of time this morning. I have a quick moment to ask this, when you guys recognized your triggers, what methods did you find work best for at least tolerating them? Driving is the one that's getting me the worst.

I jumped on here and read intros. I posted on the intros and read replies. Reading about others winning helped me win too. You can do this. If I can, a bad ass like you can.

Tapper,

Welcome to KTC, great job posting Day 1. I admire the fact that you realize your putting cancerous cat shit in your mouth at a young age, wish I would have. Read all you can on this site, as far as the cravings: gum, seeds, toothpicks, fake chew, grass, tree bark, text books or whatever works for you. Personally, Jakes mint chew has helped me. Training a new lab pup myself, damn he can tear some stuff up.

Proud to quit with you brother.

Man Taps, I am really pulling for you to be one of the few youngsters that succeeds in quitting. I put myself through 26 years, probably over $40K, and Im sure a constant embarrassment to my wife and kids. I finally got sick of it and quit with the help of these brothers and sisters here at KTC. I can promise you I could not have done it without the support of the friends I have made here. Please make this your true quit. Don't be like me. This is the best thing you can do for yourself right now. Kick that Bitch to the curb and get on with your clean future!

Tapper, nice job posting role! And congrats on a great decision. It's an excellent day to start the rest of your life.

Welcome to the September Samurai, your new quit group and band of brothers/sisters. Your job is to honor your quit one day at a time. Just get thru today my friend...Do not cave in to the cravings. And then tomorrow morning, post roll again and repeat that every damn day.

I can tell you the first few days suck, but by Day 10+, things start to get a lot easier. Drink lots of water and/or cranberry juice. Exercise and sweat out the toxins. It'll take 3 days for the nicotine to physically get out of your system, and then the real mental battle starts fighting the cravings. You can do this. I was a dipper for 38 years and am now proud to be clean for 14 days today.

Proud to quit with you. Check your mailbox. I sent you a Private message (PM). PM me anytime that you need help. And if you need my phone number for texting, let me know.

Well howdy everyone, today is the day I get my butt back to feeling 100%. I have used copenhagen for the past 4 years but the last 2 is where it has gotten to a scary amount. Haven't felt invincible like I did in high school in a long long time, I'm headed to my senior year of college in the fall and I've decided enough is enough. I am tired of dip emptying my wallet, keeping me up late, making me self conscience around the ladies, encouraging other poor habits, pooping on my breath at night, causing disappoint in my mother, draining my motivation and energy, and above all else running/ruining my life.

This is not my first quit, I had seen the site sometime last summer, but figured the advice was enough motivation to make it through and I never registered. Needless to say I didn't make it more than 36 hours. I have had mini quits in the past as well, but as soon as the scare was gone I reverted right back to the cave. Yesterday I woke up without the desire to put a pinch in...but I did it anyways. I spent all morning trying to figure out why I continued to put this crap in my mouth and body. Only to throw one right back in without any thought of it. Well as I was getting ready for bed I put my last one of the night in, I couldn't manage to hold it in for more than 5 minutes. The pain had gotten to a point that I couldn't bare, and I have always had a high pain tolerance so I knew something wasn't right. I checked my mouth for the source of the pain and well it just looked horrible, so bad that I was embarrassed to the point that I would rather give a lecture in front of a 300 seat class ass naked than to have my gums look the way they did.(nothing terribly alarming, just a lot of wear and tear)

I'm the proud owner of a new 7 month old rescue chocolate lab, my sister just got married, I'm on track to graduate soon and have the easiest summer to date since senior year of high school. Things are too good to have a cloud hanging over me everywhere I go concerning the need to throw toxins in my mouth at every opportunity, only to leave me feeling so low because I wasn't strong enough to quit. So I decided no more excuses, no more BS, no more give it the old college try. No this time is for real.

I'm a friendly guy so don't be afraid to give me a chat, lord knows I'll need some motivation to get through this process.

God Bless,
Taps
