No, you're not.

Maybe read a little on this site before jumping to conclusions about replacing one obligation with another.

Why don't you ask some of the people around here if they felt "obligated" to talk their quit brother off a ledge when they called at midnight, or if they did it because they have been there before and knew how bad that person needed someone right that minute? Or if a vet felt "obligated" to call a complete stranger in his first couple weeks just to make sure they were doing ok? Dude, there is so much more to this site and these people than an obligation.

I feel obligated to write this off as a dumbass "day one thing," so I will.

Obligated... douche nozzle.

Look man, this place is either for you, or it's not. If it is, get in. If it ain't... get out. If it turns out it is, I'll do everything I can to help you beat this, and so will pretty much everyone else that posts roll the morning that you decide you need someone. But it has nothing to do with obligation.
You have no obligation to put that shit in your mouth.

You want to.

Just like you really don't want to quit.

I've read about the navy guys that save all of their chewed dip when they are out at sea. I've read how they start chewing it after a few weeks or months. I've read how they've spent $50 for a pre-chewed can from another sailor.

Your sad story is pathetic, but not in the way you want it to be.

If you really, and I mean really want to quit using nicotine, then you post roll, get some numbers, and stay the fuck quit.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone. I was pissed off and had to rant about something so I chose to do it here. I know I'm not obligated to do anything. I apologize for anything I said that may have been in the wrong. I am still nicotine free and its going to stay that way.

I do appreciate all the help I have already gotten from this site but I don't need it controlling me the way my Copenhagen did. Don't get me wrong I will post from time to time buy making it a ritual seems like something that would be a bit counter-intuitive giving my current state.

I hate to break it to you, but nicotine is controlling you now. There is now way that after a day or two, your addict-brain has stopped trying to tell you BS. My guess is that your brain will find fault with any program that doesn't threaten to cut off the supply.

By coming to KTC and posting up roll in your quit group, you make a pact, a PROMISE with your quit brothers that for that day you will not use nicotine. We post everyday because that's what the promise is good for- one day. Not a week at a time. You cannot post "time to time" and have it suffice that you will not use nicotine. We here are not obligated, rather we are loyal to our quits, our quit brothers, and handling our addictions.

Post your roll everyday early in the morning when you start your day, keep your word that you will not use nicotine in any form for that whole day, wake up the next morning and do it all over again. Anything less than that is unacceptable. There are no shortcuts. You have to take it one day at a time. I used sunflower seeds and bubblegum my first week to help me with craves. Some quitters here find that fake chew like Smokey Mountain help them stay quit as well. Try them all to see which ones will help you.

Failure is not an option. Using chewing tobacco is something you used to do. You have to shut the door on nicotine. Never again for any reason. This is the only attitude to have. Go post your Day 1 in May 2012, that is your quit group. Get to know the members there, they will help you more than anyone.

Read this on how to post roll : index.php?showtopic=50
Here is the link to May 2012 : index.php?showtopic=5841

Remember, post roll everyday, keep your word, repeat. No excuses. Stay quit no mater what.

Day 1
« on: February 10, 2012, 04:45:00 AM »
Hello all. My name is Nathan and I am from a small town on the western edge of Colorado. I have decided to kick this nasty habit after 5 faithful years. I am between jobs right now which means I'm stressing and using it as a scapegoat for knowingly hurting myself. I continually make excuses for not quitting and how I can't be giving myself cancer and how i can always quit tomorrow or after this can. Well I had a bit of a holy shit moment today if you will. As I have already said I'm in between jobs and money is tight. I was debating with myself between buying food for the next week or saving what cash I had to be sure I had money for chew. That was strike one. I recently had a date with a long time crush who told me she saw me in a whole different light when I pulled that can out of my pocket in front of her for the first time. That was strike two. After seeing my dentist today and being informed my mouth is already at risk for cancer just sewed it up. Strike three. Any advice or helpful hints would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
