Kostcodude - stay quit at least through the weekend - you will make this - I promise you - I'm quit now for 91 days - the first week stunk - big time - a lot of fog for me - but I am your witness - it will get better - do this for you - now - don't wait 20 more years - you're young - you can beat this - I am.  if I'm lying to you about it getting better - you can come take my season tckts to the world series 2013 champion Rangers.  You will make this.

I suppose I should have realized that I basically just made one of the most generic introductions of all time. I'm slightly scatter-brained and anxious right now.

Look, I'm done with this shit because I'm tired of everything associated with it. Tired of the money I spend, the looks people give me, the hiding of multiple spittoons both in my room and in my car. I'm tired of knowing every single fucking time I throw two pouches under lip that I am destroying my body. I'm tired of going to the dentist and praying they don't say, "Hmm that's strange..." I'm just tired of it all.

I just left my dead end job as a bank teller and I'm going to a job where I have unlimited possibilities. It's time for me to put my life together and stop acting like a shit head to needs a can to survive any given day.

It's that simple. I'm done with this garbage.
Good post.

Quitting isn't easy but like your desire to quit, the concept is simple.

Post Roll
Keep your promise
Ask for support in your quit, offer support to other quitters.

If tomorrow comes, repeat.

It is so simple but listen to the vets and follow the plan with exactness. It is difficult but controlling you addiction is easier than living a life where it controls you.

Welcome aboard!

You may have started you quit for you. Now you are quit for all! Keep your word to us.
Shoot I might print that up and keep it with me. At that point today I was seriously anxious. I've calmed down a bit, but I'm still a bit scatter brained, etc. Living in the fog sucks but I'll fight through it. Keeping the phone locked on KTC tonight in preparation for the crave.
Thanks for the support Dave. I made it through day one and past probably my largest trigger: going to the movies. Have a little bit of driving to do today but I plan on picking up some seeds to accompany me.

It's too bad your Rangers will be losing to my DODGERS (you read it right) in the World Series :lol:



Here is a great fact of quitting. Close this door!!! Decide to never go back no matter what the temptation, trigger, or stress. Those will always be there. You have to choose to be bigger than they are. Don't try to quit. Just quit and don't look back.



CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, itÂ’s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit.
After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco. SportDad 1/13/05

You need to read this post of yours every day, maybe ten times a day the first week. Never forget you are an addict. Never forget how much you hate being a slave. Never forget that you can never have another dip or cig or cigar or other form of nic again. You can beat this and live a much better life if you are willing to put in the time nic free. Keep fighting Guy!

So I've been spending the last few hours deciding whether or not I was going to actually participate here rather than just lurk. Big ol crave hit me so I decided I needed to get my mind off it. Today is my day 1, tossed a half full can of Grizzly wintergreen pouches last night. I've been off/on dipping since senior year of high school - so probably 6 years. Really started doing it regularly about 2 years ago when I started a job doing maintenance on houses. The driving involved drove me to dip a ton. When I got an office job I switched from Grizz mint long cut to wintergreen pouches so I could sneak out to my car and have a quick one. Pretty annoyed by it now, don't get the buzz etc anymore, I'm done with it and quitting this bitch. I've read most of the welcome center already so I think I sort of get it, post roll daily, read everything on here to distract yourself, anything else? I know it's going to be hard but I'm quit starting with today.
Hey man, glad to see you here. You are making one of the best decisions of your life to kick the nic bitch to the curb. I dipped on and off for around ten years and dipped hard for the last four. I have quit and caved because I wasn't accountable to anyone but myself. I quit for three months cold turkey one time and caved because I had a shitty day. KTC is all about being accountable for one day at a time, posting roll EVERYDAY, and keeping your word to the brothers of your quit group. We are in the same quit group because I am on day 16 of my quit. Let's do this together man. Dip is nasty as fuck and I don't think I've ever met one woman that said, "Wow, that dude with the dip in is sexy as fuck!" Have you? The shit is nasty and it's a serious waste of money. It's awesome to see you here brother and I hope to read your Hall of Fame speech one day.
I am quit today!

Well let me be the first one to tell you that if you are actually serious about your quit, I have to yield and let you know that you are so much smarter than I was at your age.

You want some added advice. Really get to the brass tax of why you want to quit. Why today? Why now? Go beyond the buzz of it. Why are you quit today?

You can get a lot of help but it starts off with us knowing a little more of the motivation behind your quit. We have all heard and have the same stories. You should write it down as a deceleration of your quit.

Until I get a better Idea for your reason to quit now, I will offer some advise that isn't followed as much as it should be followed. Don't drink alcohol or associate in or around nicotine for the first 50 days. Your brain needs a sterile environment to rewire.

Alcohol has been blamed for bad choices in a quit. Just stay away from it. I mean good hell, 50 days is only a little over a month. If you really want to quit for good, a 50 day sacrifice of alcohol is nothing.

If you are at war with the tobacco industry, you can quit. If you are going to quit but glamorize and entertain tobacco with fond memories....you are not ready. You are still in nicotine's power and will surrender to its call.

Are you quitting because you should or are you quitting because it makes you sick to be addicted and you don't want to be a slave. Are you at rock bottom with nicotine?
