adopting the "Nike" slogan

My name is Jeff Slaughter...I've been dipping Cope Long Cut since I was 16 years old. I quit while I was in boot camp, then got out and celebrated with a dip...Biggest Mistake Ever....I'm now 29 years old, and God only knows how much cash I've tossed aside on this junk. I'm married, have a wonderful 3 year old, and every reason under the sun to kill the can. But I've failed at every attempt. My wife and I have fought over this time and again, and I have no defense. Never have.

After failing every time, I got to the point where I just felt defeated, depressed, and knew I let my wife and daughter down. Every time I put a pinch in I felt guilty, but it was not enough to make me stop. I use it to cope w/ stress, and to simply have something to do. Well, things are changing.

I'm pumped I found this site. And I have an open and honest dialogue going with my wife about this soon to be gone habit. I've decided my quit day will be tomorrow, (my first post was to the Dec group saying it was today, but I had already had a pinch this morning and need to be completely honest.) I'm still not clear on how to join a group and post roll call, but thats tonights homework. Thanks in advance for all the upcoming support and I hope after I make it to the hall of fame, I can meet some of my other brothers in Houston.

Hey, Jeff, Welcome. I think you have the right attitude, recognize that you're an addict, and know you need help. And that's what we're here for, to give and get the help we all need.

You're joining a great quit group which is really pulling together and helping each other out. Remember than when you post roll, it's your commitment to everyone at KTC that you absolutely will not use nicotine that day, come what may. No excuses.

Your commitment lasts exactly one day. So you only have to keep it for one day. That's your goal. Don't worry about making it to the HOF at 100 days, or even a month. The days will add up by themselves. You just focus on this day, the one you have control over right now. Your goal is no nicotine today. Then come back tomorrow and make the same commitment.

That's how every quitter here does it.

See you in the morning.

Sgt Slaughter!

Post roll EVERY DAY. Quit one day at a time. Do whatever it takes to keep nicotine out of your body. Gnaw on gay men's notebooks, peckers..whatever it takes! Read everything you can on this website. These guys saved my life and as a community, we will save yours. Commit to your quit, own your quit. Accountability is key..post roll, talk shit, rage on...do whatever but get some skin in the game. exchange phone numbers with the psychos quitters in your group. PM me if you need/want another phone number. I'm here with you and I have not forgotten the shitty days. That's what keeps me quit!

Miles - 197 days and counting

READ SOME HALL OF FAME SPEECHES! These quitters inspire me EVERY DAY to stay quit.

My plan for when the craves come:

At home:  have sex or

At work:  can't stand the guy that sits next to me so I'm either a) going to hit him in the arm, or B) going to gnaw on this gay little notebook he carries around, and maybe still hit him.

In the car: Scream and chew on my wallet and jam to one of many Tool CDs

I remember them all to well and I'll be damned if I let them get me this time.  Bring it on

Good deal BUT

At home: keep in mind your hands/arms may fall off with that much work

At work: you won't be able to hit the guy hard enough enough because your arms are sore. Chew the gay notebook instead.

In the car: sounds like a good plan

This guy sounds like a KTC quitter already!!!!! :blink:

JSlaught. Just remember, post roll first thing every day if you can. One day at a time. Come bitch to us. Blog on your introduction, join the chat. Anything to keep your ass away from the Nic Whore. We are all going through/have gone through what you are dealing with and we understand. We also understand that there are ways to get through it and caving is just a pussy ass excuse. I quit with you today brother. Make a plan for when the craves come on. Gum, candy, hooch, anything to occupy your oral fixation until the craving passes. Food is ok too for now. Don't worry about getting fat, you can deal with that shit after you've walked through the fog.

Done...Just tossed the rest...thanks guys. Looking forward to posting roll tomorrow.

As long as you got rid of all your dip before you got here or posted roll, then count is as day 1. I was in the same boat as you. Finished my tin by noon and found this site looking for alternatives to dip. Found this site. They said just mark that day as my first day.
Good to see you make it here. Best decision of your life as long as you want it badly enough.

Welcome,

Dump the can now, and post day one. That is honest! Wait until tomorrow morning and there's going to be another reason why its not a good day to quit.

Go to the Welcome Center (pink/salmon link) on the top of the screen to learn how to post roll call. Your quit group is December.

Glad to be quit with you. Let me know how I can help.

Steve
