day 6

[Wt57]

No lying here, it gets much better! From a 40 year addict coming up on 1 year I never thought I'd see this freedom. I see you still haven't posted roll, that is essential. Also get to know your group and get numbers to call when quitting is in danger.

27 years of a can per day.....and I'm 6 days going cold turkey with no dip. and I miss the little bitch. or was I the bitch :) to think I did everything with a dip ie watching football game washing the car etc etc now I can't and this sucks. just somebody tell me this eventually gets better. lie to me :)

Tim, welcome to the group I don't have to lie to you and I will tell you it does get better. I am day twenty today ( I quit with you) The nic is out of your system after about three days, so you dealing with the oral fixation and the triggers and craves.

I like you and a 20 plus year vet of this evil shit. I am done being controlled by something that will try and kill me. Nicotine is a slut that has been trained by everyone in this room, yet we still want her beck at times? Go freaking figure.

I learn everyday what my triggers are, I write them down, so I can deal with them next time. I would suggest doing the same. Also, this is important for me. I have told everyone I know I have quit, plus I come here everyday and post a promise to my fellow quit brothers. Get accountable, then you wont want to fail. I post roll to my kids, my wife this group, I went on FB and told everyone I quit. I am not going to let this get me back it feels to good to be free.

Were all here for you when you need us anytime.

Glad to be quit with you!

That's a long time a slave and even just 20+ days, I feel the chains just falling off of me

It gets so much better! Everyday that you go without dip will make it even better. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would ever be able to sit through a football game without a dip and im a Tennessee fan, the vols have sucked for the last 8 years but ya know what? I made it through every game dip free and you can do the same. We have all been in your shoes as we are all addicts and I promise you that it gets better everyday. If you need anything at all feel free to pm me.

Went through 2 cans a day for 15 years. Quit cold turkey. Sucked donkey balls...at first.

It gets better. Swear on my jizz sock.

Take this shit one day at a time and when you go through all the peaks and valleys and reach the HOF, if you can honestly say it did not get better...I will stick 7 hot dogs up my ass, squat over a bonfire, and eat them all...with no buns.

Hey Timbo,

Let me tell you that these guys are 100% right.....it gets much better. I will tell you there are days that are better than others just like with anything. But even on the shittiest of days, it is still better than that dreaded day you find out you have cancer ......then not only do you have to quit but you have cancer too! I always think of that and it helps keep me going.

I am like you....I dipped a can a day for 22 years and quit cold fucking turkey man. Over the years, I associated so many activities with dip that I eventually convinced myself that I needed dip to do them. Bullshit man! You know what I found out? I found out that not only could I do the same tasks without tobacco but I could do them better! I just played my first softball game without dip in 22 years since starting my Junior year playing baseball in high school......I had one of the best games I had in a very long time and without that BITCH.

If I can do it/still doing it....you can too. Let's do this!

Sounds to me like you just admitted you are like all of us an addict. It does get better, it get's Waaaaaaaay better.Remember these days though and never want to feel like them again. Embrace and respect the shitty way you are feeling. 27 years is alot to try and undo. Damage is already done,now it's time to rewire, re-train the brain.Glad you are quit and glad I am quit with you. NAFAR!!

No need to lie. I am just 1 of 10,000+ KTC members who will tell you that life without dipping is better than life with dipping. We will all say the same thing.

1. It can be done, we are proof.
2. The more days you are quit, the fewer cravings that you will need to fight off.

86 days ago I finished up my 2 cans/day/22 years life waster.

Timbo - First off great name, I'm Tim too.

No lieing needed here. It does get better and it gets much better. You never needed that shit in the first place. It doesn't make anything better. I dare you to give me one example of something that it does.

Let me ask you this, Did packing a lip while watching football help you enjoy the game? Were you sitting there during the game thinking "Im dipping, I'm dipping, I'm dipping?" How do people who don't dip enjoy watching football?

It's all a brainwash. I'm 20 years old and am 29 days quit kicking that shits ass. If a young guy like me can kick it's ass, theres nothing stopping someone like you.

I quit with you today brother.
