cold turkey?

[nebraskadad58]

Man I am an August quiter. On day 7. Just did come out of the fog "the suck". It was hell for me. Ready for the next set of challenges to hit me, I know their coming. Anyway go post roll get off your ass and be part of our quit group. This is the place to quit. The guys are tough but a huge help. There are badass quiters in every stage of the quit so guys like you and I always know what challenges we are facing next. this is it man.

We can be tough but that is because we are all addicts and have suffered the SUCK of quitting and have all been that lame ass slave to nicotine and can't be fooled by addict talk! Drink deep of the koolaid, Jim jones had koolaid that stopped life but KTC has quit koolaid, and it is as effective as jones'.

Listen to what all these bad ass quitters are telling you. KTC saved my life and countless others before me and their will be milliions more after me. If you haven't already just head on over to the August 13 quit group and post roll, honor your word and then repeat. Get to know your quit brothers and sisters and get yourself some numbers and use them any time you need them!!! I will quit with you all day and everyday!!! if you need anything at all just pm me.

Ok so my last one was yesterday...i'm ready to do this...what is the next step as far as getting in a group? I can't seem to get past the welcome page that tells me what everything is....i know what everything is now...i'm ready to start. By the way, frustrations on not being able to navigate this site (i'm sure its simple) is NOT helping!!! Neither was the tiny document that i couldn't find for an hour here at work...

jayd,

everyone told me to post in Roll call. Once your quit, posting in Roll Call.

Wow, so far this has been awesome! (and no not quitting) But the support from those that have been there that can relate is such a huge help. I threw away an empty can, went in to a gas station (and honestly, that might be the worst place to go) and moved on...i'm so ready to be done with this shit. THank you all so far that have provided encouragement. And i will definiltly remember not to use too many terms that are hard to view...

Get yo' silly ass into August 2013 and post roll. Don't worry about getting it right the first time. Give your word, tell them it's day one, ask to be added to roll and you're golden.

The intro section offers limited support from a random band of quitters. August 2013 will be your home. Keep it clean. Commit for today. Let tomorrow bring what it will.

jayd... I went cold turkey 21 days ago. I don't even remember much of the first week or 2 other than I took as gospel all the old timers advice... One day at a time. To look ahead is too much. Far too much. Just worry about right now, figure the site out, learn all about your quit group and posting roll, read, learn, connect with people. You are NOT alone brother! We all know exactly what you're going through. Certain specifics will vary but... We know. We can help. We will help. USE US!! PM me when you're comfortable and I'll give you my number. Rock it, man!!

Question,, what the hell is a smo----------. Never mind!

Look man,, all that was in the past. Lets start with today. I say you get on up to the welcome center. learn how to Post roll and get this quit started. The longer you wait the more damage you do my friend. If you quit with ktc your chances of really quitting are a lot better.

You say that you go a couple weeks and then your gums hurt. I got a question? What do you expect? It would be nice if putting the most addictive drug known to man down and that was it. Nothing happens!!

Now lets talk about reality. When you really quit you are going to go through all kinds of hell. Your bottom gum hurting ain't got shit on the mind games.
You go through a lot to quit,, but the reward is so worth it. It is so much easier to quit than your brain will let you believe. Right now you are controlled by the nicotine. You think that life without nicotine will be horrible. Well it's a big lie,, life is so good without it. Don't let it lie to you anymore,, take your life back man.

Grow some balls, Dump that shit in the toilet,, wash all the remains down the sink. Go to top left, welcome center. Read how to post roll. There is a lot of bad ass quitters in august that will be glad to have you.

Thank you Smokeyg. I will be sure to remember not to use those types of terms here. I see your point! Anyhow, i think this site will be useful for me but i am still trying to figure out how to navigate around it. Any suggestions? I am leaving work for the day but will be back tomorrow morning.

I am not here to say that i have quit but i do know that i have tried hundreds of times in the past and no form of "cessation" seems to work.  Here is how it usually goes...I put down the can for a week or two.  It actually is fine and then i get hit right in the face with something...my lower gums start to physically ache but since i don't want to dip i fire up a smokey treat.  I just want to be done with it and i know i need help.  I told my wife that i quit in January and i technically started back up in mid to late march.  I don't want to tell her that i failed but i do need help i'm sure of it.  I also know the way i want to do this  (cold turkey) will be a bitch but i think its the only way it will work.  need some help

jayd - click on the welcome center link to the upper left (pink). Read all that, post roll and then go to killthecan.org and read everything there. There are a ton of resources, many dealing with issues surrounding cold turkey.

"smokey treat" made me a bit queasy. I suggest not using terms like that on this forum. You will be reemed.

Cold turkey is hard, but you'll have to go cold turkey eventually. Any time you reintroduce nicotine into your system you are reinforcing those receptors in your brain. After three days, the nicotine will be out of your system and it's a mental battle from there on out. Getting involved with your quit group and creating accountability will give you a great tool when your lip starts to ache (I know exactly what you're talking about).

And come clean with your wife. A large part of chewing for me was secrecy and deceit. Build your quit on a foundation of honesty.

Quit for today. Tomorrow will bring challenges. Two weeks will bring challenges. But you can remain quit for today. You can definitely remain quit through your next physical/mental urge.

Post roll. Now. Welcome Center. Go.
