Decision Made - Day 1

[brettlees]

Hello All, Today marks a day where I have decided to quit chewing tobacco. My story is pretty much repeated throughout the blogs on this site, so I will spare you all the details you know I will say. Bottom line, the difference between the last time I quit, and this time, is this web site and community. I need a tool and if I can help someone in the process, bonus! I look forward to roll calling, and preaching my commitment to quit every morning!

Thanks for the support.

Bokie,

Congrats on one of the best decisions you'll ever make!!! Please indulge me for a minute --- you called KTC a tool, and while I agree it is that, it is SO MUCH MORE. Invest in this place, get to know the quit group that will form February 2017. Over time they will become your brothers (and maybe even sisters) in this fight against your nicotine addiction. Weird, but true....my Sultans are very much family to me.

Quitting with you today.... stay strong, and always remember even though it might not seem like it in the middle of the craves that will come, nicotine withdrawal has never actually killed anyone!! 'no'

Hey CaveMan,

I agree. Tool may not be the best word to use, but if you were to ask a carpenter or tradesman, what is his favorite tool, he would point it out, then say, I couldn't live without it. So, to all of KTC, I meant tool in the most sincere way.

Last night was a rough one. I'm on day 5, and the weekend over all was not bad. Mentally, I'm almost relieved that I don't have to constantly be tracking that tin, and knowing exactly when to have the next pinch, or making arrangements to leave my family to have that next pinch. Physically, my body was really starting to reject the dip, but I was so weak and addicted I thought "cutting down" was the solution. Who remembers "cutting down" and making a tin last a day and half, then patting yourself on the back, only to go through 2 tins that very next day? I did it to myself all the time! So sad! Today, I've gone 4 days, and I promise to get through day 5. With KTC, I'm sure to succeed.

Peace out!

You're doing great Bokie, keep it up! It's great to have your progress here in the intros, because it lets us all see where you are and how we can help. And, it helps later, when other quitters see some of their own quit in what you've been through. Keep it up, and keep making connections here-- the people you connect with will make a huge difference in the long run. For both Support and Accountability.

Quit hard today! Use any smooth times to recharge you for any tough times that might come later.

Bokie I'm damn proud of you. You are wanting this freedom and you are after it. I will gladly support you. If I can do anything let me know. Day 450 and I remember the fog just like it was yesterday I promise I do. Hang tough like you have so far. The worst part is behind you. If you need to use fake dip, sunflower seeds, gum, hard candy whatever it may be, use it.

It only gets better from here!

Bokie,
Great job on day 5! The intro section is a great place to keep up your status. Some of the things you are posting here would be great to post within your Feb group. I know the group is just starting off, but the things you are posting is what you will all have in common and that's what helps make the month bond together. Keep up the quit and knock em dead. Sleep was my biggest issue. it took me 6-8 weeks to finally get a solid nights sleep. It sucked monkey ballz.

hey bokie,

Congrats on succeeding in your first 24 hours and launching into Day 2.

the best advice that I can give you is to drink tons of water today and through the weekend. for me days 3-5 were the roughest physically I had the sweats and worst headache in the world on days 3-4 day 5 was like a hang over from it all.

The next few days your body is going to be kicking out all of the nicotine from your system drinking water will help that process a ton so will exercising if that is your thing. (mine was locking myself in my room with a case of water bottles and 3 books )

The second best advice is to get active in your group and keep KTC in plain sight all day! I book marked the page on my phone so the icon is always there everytime I turn my phone on.

Stay Strong and Stay Quit

^^^^^^ Great advice right there!!

Make sure you post roll early every day. Wake Up Piss Post (WUPP). It is your promise to not use NIC that day and we quit one day at a time (ODAT). Posting late in the day is pretty much just a status update of what you've done that day, so we can't emphasize enough the importance of early roll call.

Trade digits (phone numbers) with as many as you can in your group. One day one or more of your fellow quitters will save your life! I would be glad to share my digits with you as well. Send me a message through the inbox (top right corner) with your number and I'll send you mine.

Be a quitter!! I Quit With You Today (IQWYT)!!!

I am proud to quit with someone who gets how quitting works. Hang tough for the next few days, and stay close to the website.

Day 2 - Little sleep last night, although not too bad. Thanks to that NFL, anyone watching that game would fall asleep. Today, I have the headache and fogginess everyone talks about in this forum. That is fine. Looking forward to the day when I don't twitch every time I do something because I don't have my tin/bottle ready to go! Yesterday I could not believe how lost I was without that can! I tell you, that feeling is enough to drive me to succeed. I'm so sick and tired of being a slave to that stuff. On to the next 24 hours, as I posted my roll call, and now look forward to another day of being nic free! Cheers!

Welcome.

Looking forward to following your progress.

You are a member of the Feb '17 group, which can be found here.

Hit me up via PM if you need anything.

Oh, and don't worry if you screw up roll the first few days - the only way to screw up roll is by not being on roll. You'll figure it out soon enough, we all have.

Thank you for the welcome.

Can someone confirm the roll call I made and make sure I followed the instructions. I understand the procedures, just not sure if I did it right on day 1.

Much appreciated!

You did well only placed your name in the wrong place. But as usual Drone fixed it !?
Proud to be quit with you Brother !
