Thanks for the advice. I've been browsing and reading articles on KTC since I joined a few days ago. I spend about 3-4 hours a day here and it does help tremendously. That damn devil however, whispering in my ear, needs to get lost.

Nights are rough. Can't sleep, my legs are restless all night long. Sleeping pills not helping so far. Don't want to drink because I know I'll give in. At this point I'm just glad I made it this far. My only focus right now is getting through the rest of today. I did buy a can at 1 am this morning but thankfully I dumped it before I gave myself a chance to stuff that shit in my mouth.
Brian I'm going to send you my number, so check out your Inbox (1). I like that your wanting to quit. It scares me however, that you bought a can at 1 am. Have you had a chance to meet any of the guys in your October group? If not, please do so ASAP. Trade numbers, emails, personal information, whatever you have. Next time you head to the store at 1 am you may actually throw in a lipper of poison, instead of realizing your mistake and throwing it out. Are you exercising at all during the day? That could help with the not sleeping, although sleeplessness isn't uncommon when quitting.

From here on out, if you're serious about quitting, I want you to do the following...

1. Post Roll first thing, every day...there's no excuses
2. Get the numbers of at least 5 KTC quitters (your getting mine so now you only have to get 4 more)
3. Before you buy a can of shit in the future, text/call every number you have...ask me for permission to buy the can and cave..see what I say
4. Read, Read, Read as much as you can on KTC. Have you read the Kern story? Have you looked at introductions? Have you read HOF speeches? Have you looked at mouth cancer pictures on killthecan?

I want you to succeed and be quit, but only you can make it a reality. It's your move....so make it
Brian,,, take a breath. Next time you have a crave count the minutes, they go away after a few minutes. Whether you realize it or not last night was a big win.

Take caving off the table. There is no such thing. I don't care how bad things get for i don't care how long.

Start arming yourself. Read everything you can on nocotine/addiction. You will be surprised at how knowledge and the ability to see whats coming helps. It's time to bring the battle to the poison. Learn your enemy it knows you.

Read intros from beginning to end. You will see your story written over and over. Your no different, you can do this just like i have. 521brother and everything you are going through was me last year. Your in the worst of it. The battle gets easier sooner than you think.

You made it this far, you can make it today. Pm with number coming your way man. You got this, start believing.
No more going to buy cans. You're a quitter now. You made a pledge. Focus on your quit. It's your main focus right now. You can do this. You are stronger than a little can of dog shit.

Reach out to quit brothers if it gets like this again. There is no excuse for caving. Remember that. You'll never regret quitting. You'll always regret caving. You can do this but you gotta want it more than anything. Keep reading this website and make some friends. We are here for you.
Brian exchanged his number with me today, and we exchanged some texts. WE are on the same page now. IF you're in October, and Brian doesn't contact you, please reach out to him. He's really wanting to quit....just having a struggle with it as of now (haven't we all). Help him out, he's giving it his all.

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.

Brian, The bad ass quitters ^^^ already laid it all out for you. Read everything on KTC. All the knowledge and support is here free for the taking, but it is up to you to make use of it.
You have the power! You always have had the power! The poison will not jump off the shelf and track you down and jump into your gob!
PM me if you need anything. You can do this if you want it bad enough. The KTC quit method works. Learn it and live it.
Also One Day At A Time= ODDAT. Best way to get through the hard parts of quitting! Just worry about staying quit in the moment, and deal with the future when it gets here.
I will tell you though, it gets so much easier before you even know it.

Brian you won't be free from your addiction for your birthday but you can be nicotine free. We are ADDICTS and always will be but we decide everyday to give nicotine the big 'Finger'

You may not have local support, but if you seek it you have plenty here!

Hi BrianH
How is the quit? I just looked on roll and didn't see your name? Maybe you got bumped, maybe you sleep during the day, maybe you ran to the store for a can? I dunno. Have you talked to your girl about getting help from the spousal support? Have you gotten any numbers....and more importantly, have you used them?

There is a common word here....YOU.

I can't quit for you, nor can anyone else here, but we will quit WITH you.

Here are some simple tidbits of advice....

1. POST ROLL every day as soon as possible, to take away the chance of "life" creeping in along with that nic bitch and messing this whole thing up
2. Don't put that shit in your mouth
3. and, when the Quitting gets tough, go to the fridge and get yourself a big old glass of suck it up. Quitting is hard man. We have all been there. You gotta fight.

Oh hell, I'm a just a girl that does this all day with all of these fine people, that lives with a can a day Copenhagen user, so it's always within arms length from me......what do I know?

Hello everyone. I'm Brian and have been at this habit for 20 years. Like many others I've tried quitting numerous times and have obviously failed every time. In the last 5 years I've gone from a can every 2-3 days to a can a day and in the process have had biopsies done on both my lip and tongue, and although I was scarred for my life I continued this nasty habit. It's been especially hard for me to stop because my dad dips, my friends dip, and my wife prefers that I dip (she has seen me try to quit in the past and I'm severely moody). Support wise I have no one. Two days ago I made a commitment to quit. Day 1 was horrible, day 2 was worse. I was so proud of myself for getting through day 2 when out of the blue I found myself running to the store for a can (and I don't even know why). I chewed half a can last night. I was so disappointed in myself. I spent half the night searching the web for help and found this website. I was amazed how many others are going through the same problems I'm having. I'm turning 40 this year and want to be free and clear from this habit before my birthday. So here I am....Day 1 again, my last day 1. Here comes the FOG.
Brian-

Hang with it. I'm just making it through the first day myself. I've only been on this site for a few hours and already feel a pretty strong sense of support. Hopefully you've posted roll. We'll hit these first 100 days together. As for the mood swings, I understand. My wife has told me in explicit detail how bad off they get. Just remember it's not their fault. If you need to have a case of red ass, come on here and do it. That's what we are here for.
Remember how you felt when you wrote that post. That is how Nicotine has made you feel....helpless, weak, out of control of your own actions. Remember that, because you never want to feel that way again. In quiting dip I have felt, angry, depressed, foggy, but not once have I felt weak, or helpless. Brian, every day you need to take power over yourself. Is it hard? yes. Is it impossible....not even close. I'm glad you posted roll, now you've made a promise to us all. Make the same promise tomorrow. You can do this.
hey Brian,

glad you made it here...you're not here by accident.
Dipping is not a habit. It is something all nicotine addicts do/did.
have you met the nicotine addict in the mirror??
that's right you're a drug addict...just like me and 40,000 others here...soooooooo how bad do you want to "be quit"?
What would you give to be quit?
Would you logon on to this site and give your word daily?
Your word is good right?
Would you read everything here, drink the koolaid, listen to other "quit" quitters?
Can you humble yourself and quit for just YOU ODAAT (one day at a time)?
Do you realize those attempts at quitting were merely stoppages?

Well this is how it is done here at KTC...

1. post roll (everyday your feet hit the floor)
2. keep your word all day (your word is good, right?)
3. make it to bed, wake and repeat.

The tools to get quit and remain quit are here...you cannot buy a better system or group of supporters anywhere,period

You can do this...I am, my group is, 40,000 quitters are...you're not alone.
Cheers.
Brian,

Welcome aboard brother. Read everything in the HOF speeches, intros,  words of wisdom sections. Post every day. Don't worry if you screw up. You'll get the hang of it soon enough.

When you get a crave, get on here and read.

I forgot one thing Brian. Have your better half read the Spousal Support article on the main webpage. It should help with letting your wife know what to expect and what you will be dealing with going forward. I would link it for you but I haven't figured that out yet. Maybe someone can handle that explanation.
