Dipped Out

[tljent79]

Day 16 and no dip for me. Continuing to immerse myself in the KTC community. I can't say thanks enough for the support from the folks here. Our February crew is getting stronger every day and it's exciting to know some people of character have my back through this fight. On a side note, our first forecast of snow has come. That is awesome! Stay quit folks!

Keep it up TJ. You're killing it and doing this thing the right way. I promise if you continue down this path ODAAT, your goals are achievable. Proud of you, don't let up.

^^^ Listen to the King! We're all in this thing together. One day your headaches will go away and your sleep will be great. This will be when posting roll every damn day and making sure you keep that promise become even more critical. The addicted brain is always looking to put a foot in the door to kill your quit. We can't change our brains, but we can actively decide to quit every day and we can set ourselves up here at KTC to be accountable. Keep building your network and stay quit! I quit with you today! :)

Tylerclay welcome to the group. I hope you're wanting to quit for the long haul. I think our group is building a lot of momentum and we are all committed to doing this together. Viking you hit the nail on the head in your previous post about the similarities we all share. I had never thought of it that way but you're absolutely right. We all know the levels we've stooped to in order to sustain our addiction. Looking back to just a few weeks ago, I was basically isolating myself from people I love so that I could have an extra dip. It's so pathetic! I will forever be grateful to the people on here for the support network. The accountability has been a huge factor in my ability to stay on the quit for 2 weeks. Tyler, feel free to pm for digits....the support network you can build here wil both motivate and support you through one of the biggest challlenges and changes of mindset you've likely ever faced. Proud to quit with you, the rest of our Feb crew, and the vets who've offered support and guidance.

I'm new to this whole thread thing so I don't even know if I'm posting in the right spot, let me know if I'm not! But I'm on day number 8 today ! Have only had a few cravings and just been zoning out a lot. "The fog" as I've read is taking its toll. But I know it will all get better in time.

Going with the quit while I'm still young idea here. Ive dipped since I was 14 and I'm about to turn 21. First year or so was on and off dipping. But ive gone everyday for nearly 4 years. My grandpa has dipped since he was 17 and he's 65+ years old and still dippin! He quits for years at a time and picks it up again. And I don't want that to be me. This is the first time I've legitimately attempted to quit dip, and I find this site very inspiring. I feel motivated just reading some of the things people post.

So there's some basic info about me, I'm not sure what to do from here so if any of y'all could give me some help on how to use this site I'd appreciate it !

TC-

Keep reading the site. What you will find is that our commitment is to posting roll everyday on the site. Early. In the morning. You'll see the acronym WUPP it means wake up, piss, and post. This is life and death for me. Go to the quit groups and post roll as day 8.

Get phone numbers so you can text people or call people. It will save you at some point having that personal support. It has me at least three times already and I feel like I have a pretty strong commitment to quit. Nicotine is a bitch, I've been addicted to it for 18 years, and always will be.

I'm excited to have you in our February 2016 quit group. It is named as such as we will reach 100 days in February and become quit hall of famers (HOF). That's a cool accomplishment, but posting roll is forever.

Get to know the vets. Pabs, Syndrome, KingNothing, Palpatine, JPet, Eye Hate Cope, these are the people that are going to help you get through the toughest of the tough in addition to our February Fellowship of the Quit.

The Fellowship of the Quit is a serious group. We mean business when it comes to our quit. We look forward to having you.

PM (personal message) me if you want some digits.

Day 14! Doesn't feel like it's been two weeks. It has been both the fastest and slowest two weeks I've experienced in some time. The good news is that for now the intensity of the headaches has subsided. That has been the worst withdrawal symptom for me. I know these have the possibility of flaring again, so I'll be ready for that.

After 20 + years on the can, this is the longest I've been able to avoid it. I can attribute that, without reservations, to the plan that's followed on this site. If you're new and reading this and truly want to quit, jump in with both feet...it works!

Everyone will have a different experience, but the structure and accountability of this community is consistent for anyone with the desire to quit. i owe a ton of thanks to some of the vets and some in the February quit group...without that support, I likely would have caved.

It seems a little odd at first to make a daily promise to what is initially a group of strangers, but I can promise that if you immerse yourself, those strangers will quickly become allies in what will be a lifelong battle against a severe addiction.

Again, if you are new here and want to quit feel free to PM me for digits or any other assistance. While only 2 weeks into a long, strange trip I feel I can pay forward some of the kindness and support that was shown to me upon my arrival just 14 days ago.

Well stated Tljent79. Folks, this guy gets it and wants it and is willing to share his experience/friendship/brotherhood with you. Any person lurking please read his post.

Oh how I remember being scared coming into this forum. I had several people inbox me and give me the courage to step up and post roll daily.

I'm damn proud of you Tljent79.

Congrats on Day 14 my friend. One day at a time...

What I realized so quickly after reading and reading those first few days is though we don't technically know each other when we come onto the site, we really actually know each other better than everyone around us because we were all a slave to the same addiction, acted the same way, ninja dipped, feared for cancer at every turn, etc. In so many ways, even though you haven't seen me, you know me and my past identity better than my wife knows me and you and I have been in this two weeks together.

If I told you I chewed for 18 years and you had never met me, think of all the things you already know about me. There is almost nothing unique about any of our experiences. That's why it helps me so much to quit together because we all went through the exact same can together.

Day 11 and quit again for another day. I've definitely learned here that you just have to take it one day at a time. Managed to get a sweet case of pharyngitis....thankfully it's not strep! Something viral and I just have to let it run its course. The positive is that it has made me eat less which is good seeing as how I've been eating everything in sight since about day 2. I'm cool with it though. I can lose weight. Can't say the same for cancer from the lip turds.

It's pretty exciting to see the cohesion building amongst our February quit group. Thanks to Walter White for the hookup on the spreadsheet. We are going to try and make sure our group has open lines of communication as well. We pretty much have to be all-in for this process to work. Involvement in this site has been the key factor in helping with the quit. I've learned a lot and found a lot of motivation from the vets and from members of our quit group.

Hoping we can keep the momentum going and continue to make progress on the path to quitdom.

Man, you've got an amazing attitude about this all.

Just make sure you don't let your guard down, the cravings, the headaches and everything can come out of no where. The good news is, they get a hell of a lot easier to ignore, they pass a lot faster, and you still won't have shit in your lip.

I'll shoot you my number in PM, never hesitate to let me know if you need anything.

Proud to quit with you today.

Thank you it's appreciated!
