I Quit today

[B-loMatt]

Today is 50 days. 50 days since the nic bitch last had a hold on me. Never would I have thought that I could pull off 50 days. I was a slave to copenhagen for 26+ years, I am only 36 years old so that should have never happened. I found this site one night on a whim and then put the can down. It's the best decision I have ever made. My two boys and my wife are the most important things in my life but I had to quit for ME. if you are reading this and thinking there is no way I can do it, that's just the nic bitch filling your head with crap. Step up, jump in feet first and drink the KTC kool aid. PM me if you need anything it there are thousands of other quitters here ready to help. 50 down and +1 to go for the rest of my life.

Congrats on half a handy Sir Nope! Keep up the great quit. Quit with you.

Neil, great quit you got going here. Keep it up. No reason at all to not do what you have done for the last 50 days on day 51, and then repeat. You are half way to the HOF, and closer than you can imagine to a way better quit. Keep building your accountability and nurture a solid hate for the poison and it's pushers at big tobacco. Don't be afraid to reach out if you need to. QLF with you all day, and congrates on 50 days of freedom!

Over the 30 day mark and on to my next month of quit. Really starting to settle into the realization that I was owned by that nic bitch. She was the one that told me when, where and how high. I had to go out of my way to make sure she was happy. Not any more not ever again. Not going to get complacent either, she is a tricky bitch.

If you read this and need help, please ask. If you read this and think you cant quit, please ask. Everyone on here has helped me save my life. I am ready to pass it forward. QLF

Sir Nope

Nice Sir. I love hearing about when people "get it". It just happens. You gotta wait for it to happen. These days will fuel your quit and your drive to help others.

Congrats on a month. Let's work on another month. Remember - you can't even do tomorrow if you can't thru today.

Here is to "today".

Quit with you

How's that swing shift going? I had to go to work at 1AM this morning and boy was something missing. Dip was always what I thought kept me going through the night. My seeds and a tall boy monster worked it out just fine. Great following your intro and that's classic about the spitters in church. Quit with you today!

22 days into my quit and had my first cave dream. Smoked a cigarette and screwed my quit up. That's when I woke up. I was pissed and really felt like I let everyone down. Took me a few minutes to really get it back in my head that it was only a dream. The nic-bitch was throwing anything and everything at me.

The craves have been getting few and far between but the ones I do get are pretty strong ones. Example - mexican food, grew up in texas so it was a big part of growing up. Haven't had any since I quit and the wife was begging for some so off we went. Well I knew it was going to be bad when I had the crave for snuff before my food even made it to my table. I had a plan and was ready for it. That wouldn't have happened before I found this site. I just wanted to thank everyone who has helped me out so far and I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon.

I wanted to thank the guys that I keep in touch with everyday, you guys know who you are. And if you are reading this and don't have a core group to help you when you need it, get one now.

Day 22 and not looking back.

Sir Nope

Great work Nope. The nic bitch is losing her grip on you and will pull out all the stops to get you back. Dreams can be powerful. This will not be your last one.

I still have some huge triggers as well. I am preparing to deer hunt for the 2nd season since I quit and believe or not the bitch still whispers. But I am not afraid. I know her game. I know the emptiness, lies and deceit. I know that nicotine does NOTHING for me. And you are learning this too. Great job on 22 days. You are kicking ass man. You have my number, if you need anything, shout.

Well 14 days in this quit and something's are becoming very apparent. I knew I was 1.5 cans a day but I never really thought about how often or long I had a dip in. I wake up around 5:00 almost every morning and the first thing I use to do was throw a dip in. Well I don't normally go to bed until midnight and the last thing I would do was brush my teeth after spitting a dip out. I never realized that I had a dip in ALL day. I was not a ninja dipper. I could give 2 shits what anyone thought of my dipping. I mean I grew up going to church and seeing my dad and many others with spit cups at church. I guess I thought I was such a badass that I could dip anywhere and everywhere I wanted. A lie from the nic bitch, one of many that I bought into.

Life has gotten back to normal for me really. Kids in school, wife teaching so when I am off on weekdays I have the whole house to my self. I got back into my wood shop on Friday for the first time in 2 weeks. Had to cleanup a few old spitters and some empty cans but finally cleaned that room up. Starting to take back my life and do things again for some first times. I can't believe that I let the nic bitch have 25+ years of my life. Never again.

Keep it up Sir Nope. You are doing great.

You do not need nicotine and you never really did. Nicotine does ONLY ONE THING. NICOTINE REMOVES THE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS THAT NICOTINE CREATES. What a racket big tobacco has going. I only wish I hadnt contributed $30,000 to their cause before I figured it out.

[Steakbomb18]

Great start to the quit Sir Nope; let's look at a few of your quit stats out of the gates. 11 for 11 on posting roll. Almost 40 board posts, avg about 4 per day. Active self-intro, active on other newbie intro's. And you continue to read and read all of the wisdom offered on this site.

This,...is how you do it. That is how you quit like fuck every damn day. Other December RANTs take notice, this is a guy in your quit group you should follow and model yourself after.

Keep it up Sir Nope...the hill of freedom you're climbing only goes up from here.

Day 11 is ending the same way that the last 10 have, reading about what other badass quitters are doing with their daily victory. I was somewhat skeptical when this all started because I really wasn't planning on quitting. I didn't feel a need to, nothing was wrong with me that I knew of or anything like that. It all started when my wife sent me a picture of a guy she found that just had half his tongue removed. I didn't want to look at the picture I just deleted it off my phone. But that got me thinking about what I needed to do and some how I stumbled on KTC. That was the night of the 7th and I spent that whole night reading on this site. That next morning I got rid of my last can of Copenhagen and haven't looked back since.

I have often wondered if maybe I had so much nic in my body that it was going to take longer then the 3 days to get it all out. I have felt great all 11 days. Using the smokey mountain when I need to but other then the cravings after eating and the fog I am loving life. The shakes kill some of my painting sessions but I am doing something new when those happen.

I want to thank all the Dec RANTs but especially jwright, QuitInCa and UHLawDog for keeping me straight.

Sir Nope

Those shakes will eventually go away.

They'll never be able to replace your tongue or jaw if they have to take either or both.

Keep quitting one day at a time. If the fog is getting bad hydrate- drink a lot of water- it will help. Keep feeding your quit every day- keep posting roll and making that promise and keep reading stuff on KTC- there are a lot of great thoughts, stories, comments etc on here.

Quit with you Sir Nopenhagen!

If I can ever be a help to your quit send me a PM.

Well done, Sir.

[tarpon17]

excellent work SNH. Most of us have a "refuge" where dip ruled our lives. Golf, fishing, hunting etc. It's awesome to break those barriers/chains and see that you can do any of those things without a dip in your hole.

well done!

Now I'm off to whack since mrs tarp says no to fuck.......
