Day 1

[jake_m]

Day 6 - Been a rough road so far. The second day I walked into a 7-11 looking for some Smokey Mountain fake stuff to help me out. I think I was in there for a good 15 mins as the Nic Bitch kept telling me I could have one dip and be ok. I decided the fake stuff would only open up the tiniest crack and headed to the candy aisle. But I couldn't find any hard candy... and she started again. Right then a guy from this site texted me. Saying you have to fight every minute of every day. Fight it with the thoughts of your family and the trouble dip has caused you. Fight it with the thought of your future grandchildren and what mouth cancer does to you. Don't give in and fight the struggle. I turned the corner and walked right into a bag of jolly ranchers. walked out with a bottle of water and some hard candy. Now I'm writing this from a starbucks, one of my favorite places to escape and dip. Their cups are the perfect spitter. So six days later, I'm in here trying to get work done and it's the only thing I could think of for the first 10 mins. So I decided to write here in my intro. Texted Jake (my KTC "Big Bro") and read my contract. The craving is gone and I am still an addict. But I'm an addict that is still in recovery. Day 7 is going to be better than day 6. Thanks KTC and the dudes in here that have my back.

Great job bro!! Beat that bitch down and solidify that quit! She's crafty and will change her tactics as time goes on so stay frosty. You got this!

Awesome intro bro. I have truly enjoyed going through this battle with you. Just remember that this is only the begining, we still have a LOOOOOOOOOONG way to go. There will be times when it seems like the whole world is crashing down around you and all you can think about is how that pinch of snuff will save you. Keep this quote in mind "99 problems plus nicotine is 100 problems". Now that you are quit KTC style you have folks depending on you to stay quit. People that are rooting for you and people that will be leaning on you. It is a BIG deal to let these people down. You can NEVER just have one. You must close that door and cement over it. The very idea of caving and shitting on all these people is literally spine chilling to me, not to mention falling right back into the same habits of being a low life lying asshole being controlled by something that is killing me. You are doing a fantastic job thus far PJ. Just keep it up and pay it forward. Never hesitate to call me or text me. I will be here every step of the way.

You're doing great PJ. Keep plugging along and reading all you can. This place will give you the tools to save your life.

Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life PJ!

This site is awesomely packed full of totally bad ass MOFO's that all want nothing more than to see you succeed in your quit. Some above me have already said it, but buckle in and get ready for it to suck until it doesn't. Tell the wifey and kid-o's to bob n' weave, duck n' cover, but you try to focus any quit rage on us. They don't deserve it, you're gonna get pissed... Come here and pick a fight, cuss, scream, call us names, what ever to get you back down.

I've PM'd you a challenge. I hope you accept!

[TLOC81]

Welcome PJ! This is the first step to gaining back your life as well as your integrity. We quit with you. Looking forward to seeing you post roll each day.

this stupid habit

Picking your nose is a habit.

What you have is a fully mature, double-d case of addiction. You are an addict. I've been quit 18 days. I'm an addict. I met a guy on here that's been quit for 8 years. Still an addict.

Get your mind around that, first thing.

Good job on having the courage to post day 1 here . .now stick to your word, and you'll get all the support you can ask for.

In my opinion the first day or three are the worst part . . just power through it, one hour at a time.

Angel - great point. Definitely need to keep reminding myself of that. Every minute of every day

[Thumblewort]

It's gonna suck until it doesn't, and then it is remarkable. Best decision you have made in 2015!

[bigreddude44]

ditto^^^ post roll and keep posting roll! It will make all the difference!

[pab1964]

Pj welcome to the first day of freedom! Post roll, listen and read! I quit with you my brother!

[Dagranger]

PJ. That intro is a great snapshot for looking at again and again. During the course of my quit I've used whatever tools I could to keep dip out of my mouth. Mints, gum, food, exercise, water, but most importantly I read my intro page over and over again. It reminded me of where I was and where I did not want to go. Quitting is hard work, but not impossible. Post your promise here every morning. Give your wife a kiss every day without worrying she'll smell the dip on your breath. Enjoy your kids everyday without letting them see you being a slave to a drug. Lots of sunshine on this side of the quit train. Good luck.

Great decision. post roll and keep your word today. You can do it.

Right on PJ! Do this for yourself, but I promise you it will strengthen your marriage. It did mine. Way to post roll. Welcome!

Great decision to quit. It will feel great not to have to be sneaky, hiding your chew, making excuses to go to the store and taking 30 minute shits.
Post roll each day! Repeat
