Greg - When I feel a crave or the desire to dip again, I imagine how the day after dipping will be for me. I would have to tell my wife, my kids, my co-workers that knew I had quit. Also my extended family and friends in my circle of life that up until now have been super proud and supportive of my quit. I eventually would have to log back into KTC. And that would be absolutely horrible. We've all seen how that plays out. I could not imagine being on the receiving end of the barrage of anger and betrayal posts from my quit month brothers. But all that pales in comparison to the toughest part of all. Looking in the mirror at yourself. Knowing what you have done. Knowing what you could have been. Knowing that you did not give it your all. Knowing that you let yourself down. It makes no sense to dip. Convince yourself of this - it is easier to stay quit. It's the right thing to do. Dip or snus is off the table, it's simply not an option.

Be strong Greg.

Quote from: macgregor
Today I'm quitting, but I feel that my addiction iż strong. And there is another thing in quiting. To yesterday I nad been thinking that my life without nic is exactly the same - maybe without one thing - the nicotine. TODAY I realized that if I want to quit forever I have to change whole my life od maybe it's big part - and it's one od the best part od my life which I shared with the nic... And it really sucks!!
I'm at 500+ and I still quit one day at a time. There is no forever,, it gives me a headache to even consider!

Now,, what part of your life was so great because of the poison? Tell me,, i would like to know. Tell me why the poison has got you thinking it is so important that there is part of your life that will never be the same because it's not there anymore. Your making me shed tears here. You got me thinking that maybe i'm starting to miss something. Hell, I might have to rethink this whole quitting thing!
NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!! F@@@ that!

You go ahead and go back if you think it's that important. As for me and the rest of these bad ass quitters, we're staying the course. We're not giving the poison one more fuuu@@@@@ing dollar. We're not giving it one more day of our lives. I don't know about you, but I was tired of the poison being number one in my life. Helllll no!!!!!!

If that's what you want,,, so be it. At day 120 you really need to evaluate things. Have you read all the information on the poison. Have you started building the hate it deserves. It doesn't deserve your want and desire. It deserves your hate.

I hate the poison. I hate it this morning and i'll hate it for lunch. I'll continue hating it at dinner. I enjoy hating it so much i'll wake up tomorrow hating it. Join me,, Quitting becomes so much easier. Start reading on Nicotine/addiction. Learn your enemy, it's clear you haven't read anything.

Best parts of your life are without the poison. GET THAT STRAIGHT RIGHT NOW!!!

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Skoal monster is right. You need to stop for a minute. You aren't quitting for the rest of your life. You are quitting for today.

Nicotine didn't do one good thing for you. It didn't make one thing in your life better. It was there when you had some good times, but it was along for the ride, it wasn't the cause if the goodness.

One day at a time! Quit for today. Post roll first thing, keep your word. Forget about yesterday... That is over. You won! Stop worrying about tomorrow or next Tuesday or next year... We just quit for today!

Srans is also right. No goodness comes from nicotine. Stop romanticizing it macgregor. You've come too far. These bad asses have your back. Enjoy your day of freedom.

Dude. What's really going on? Are you determined to stay quit? I hope so. Come on man, stick your foot up the nic bitch's pussy with a fucking steel toe and get on with this day.

You make that pledge and you are good for today. You are quit. No more dwelling on it. Do something else.

I am quitting with you today.
Agree with grizz. Yesterday you didn't post roll first thing. Ktc rule 1.... Post roll first thing. Once your name is on roll you take caving off the table. Because you aren't a liar. Very concerned for you macgregor. This works... Just get your name in roll first thing and put one foot in front of the other. Caving at this stage of the game is incomprehensible. Letting your July brothers down is not an option.
Mac, you and I have been up and down the quit path for over 100 days, you are stronger than the nic bitch. You are July strong!
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Glad to see your name on the July roll. No matter what today brings, you will keep you word.

You had a lot of great wisdom handed to you yesterday from some bad ass quitters. One day at a time you will heal. Listen to these guys Greg. Reaching out to help a new guy in his intro... Posting in others intros... Chat... The exercise... All of this is part of the healing process.

Nice win yesterday. And today.

Got to get through today to be afriad of tomorrow. Then when you put your name on roll in the morning (assuming the sun rises again) then there will be nothing to be afraid of as you have given your word and we all know you are a man of your word, correct?

The only thing you really need to fear is not realizing and understanding the consequences of failure in your quit.

You must understand what it means if you fail.

Shake off the funk, hop in chat, or help out a guy in Nov that posted a day 1. Help him get to where you are now. It will help you in your quit.
A quote used by Gmann in November...

Let me tell you what you fuckin' need to hear......

Nicotine is addictive and you are an addict. You are all a bunch of big boys (or girls) and know what the fuck "addicitive" means. If you didn't, you wouldn't be here and wouldn't be seeking any type of assitance from anything or anyone.

It also means you absolutely can't have just "one". If you could...you wouldn't be an addict. And anyone who comes on here and says...."blah, blah, blah, I thought I could handle it", may as well have just said...."I'm a super-retarded dumbfuck with the common sense of 2 year-old. Please get me my pacifier. I can't control my own life....so just smack me in the head with a shovel when you're done changing my diaper because I'm not using my brain anyway."

The day you post day 1, is the day you quit. Period. Using tobacco now falls in the category of things you do not do anymore. Ever. Never. Period.

Do you put your dick in a light socket? No.
Do you spread dog shit on a wiener bun and eat it. No.
Do you masterbate to a picture of your mom? No.
Do you use tobacco? No.

Get it? Got it? Fuck it. You're done with it.
Man Greg... This site is awesome. You've had a bunch of bad asses be direct and honest today.

We don't focus on the past. We don't worry about tomorrow. We quit today.

Today you gave my word that I won't use nicotine. I'm proud to quit with you.
Mac.... You have to fight today harder than ever. You are quit bro. Do NOT give that back! You can do this.
I quit w/ you Mac. I know the funk that you're describing  I'm in the same boat. 120 days quit  I get the itch to go buy a can often. Today I woke up w/ a sore throat that reminded me of my dip days  it reminded me that I've come too far. You've come too far. All of July has come too far. You CANNOT throw in the towel now. Go for a run. Do whatever it takes to get your head back in the game.
No doubt that regret and anger will be the overwhelming feeling you get if you put that shit in your lip again.

Regret that you gave in and let yourself and all on this site down. And then anger that you don't magically feel "better" and that you pissed 120 days of hard work away. Even more anger will come when you realize that you now have to decide if you want to start at day 1 again or go back to being controlled by the can, something you must not have enjoyed considering you are here.

Fight throught this. I guarantee you will feel pride, strength, and relief that you beat the bitch back when she was throwing the kitchen sink at you.

We've all been here, it Fucking SUCKS. But this funk will pass and you will feel better. When you do you will be able to look back on this and use it as a learning experience. Getting through this will make your quit stronger.

As you can see you don't have to do this alone. Nobody here wants to see you fail and we are all here for you.

Use us.

You got this, bro.

Quit on...
