Hey guys, Rob here

[Rob]

Health wise honestly I feel great. My mouth just feels cleaner 24/7. I’m back to working out everyday. I’m eating cleaner. I’ve lost 6lbs! Not sure if it was mental or what. I was lazy when I was dipping all day, I feel way more energized. Any day without dip is better than with it!

Quick update:

Day 19!!!! We are moving right along. I have to say I’ve craved more lately that I did the first week but it’s a different kind of craving. Pretty sure it’s just an oral fixation because I throw some sun flowers seeds in and go right along.

I’ve been extremely busy trying to sell my business and work etc. I know I’m not the most active person via texting but everyone’s texts do help.

A big trigger for me was New Year’s Eve. For the past 4-5 New Year’s Eve it’s always my resultion to quit lmao. So I usually dip 2 can or so on New Year’s Eve and just keep telling myself tomorrow’s the day. So anyway not this year. I went into it dip free! Had some pretty bad cravings when we started drinking but didn’t cave!

The whole counting days, being accountable, and posting roll thing works. Trust me I thought it was the dumbest shit at first but I gave it a try. Now I’d be so mad if I slipped up and had to go back to day one! So thanks everyone! Happy New Years!

Forgot to post yesterday:

So recap day 5: Day off from work but had a couple meetings involving the gym, plus went to the driving range. I took your guys advice and told my friends about quitting/the group. They all seemed pretty supportive. To be honest yesterday wasn’t too bad, just going to keep at it today! Day 6 you sick quitters!

Glad to hear you are hanging in there with your quit...one of the best decisions you'll ever make.  I can't emphasize enough the importance of posting roll everyday, especially, as early as you are into your quit.  Just some friendly advice.  Welcome aboard Rob!

Day 3:

Smooth sailing went through the entire day extremely tired. Probably not from quitting just been really busy lately. Around mid afternoon my friend pulled out a can and put a dip in, didn’t really bother me. Old me would have asked to bum one. F*** that! Let’s go day 4!

Accountability counts in real life, just as much as on the internet.  Tell your girlfriend if you haven't yet, tell your buddy who pulls out that can of death that you are done with that shit.  Tell your mom and dad.

Tell your dick if you like to talk to it - just tell everyone.  Make yourself transparent, live your life free and enjoy the rewards that come with it.  Congrats on day 3, here come the mind games.  Be prepared, drink lots of water and push through another set when that crave comes.

Post everyday here, and read others' stories and advice.  IQWYT Rob

I just haven’t gotten to telling friends and family because I’ve quit a million times. Everyone will know in due time, just wanted to prove to myself first this time

Burn the boats.... Light that fire and never look back.

Hey Rob, I love that you're chronicling it.  It's very therapeutic to write it all out and this is the place for it.  Wildirish refers to his intro as an old comfortable leather chair or something along those lines.  It's something you'll refer back to from time to time to remember the suck or to pull an excerpt from where a context calls for it.  Others will read it and be edified too.  Welcome to KTC.  One day at a time can move mountains, really.

Thanks man, one day at a time is working great! I will check it out!

Day 4:

Sunflowers seeds are a life saver, had some pretty bad withdrawals today. I felt like I was just missing something the entire day. However I didn’t let it control me or my day. Honestly if I wasn’t apart of this group. I would have dipped. So thanks guys...

Going to post an update here a few times a week if that's alright.

Day 2:

I woke up feeling great, I worked out around 8am. Then went and helped a family friend lay some brick pavers for her new patio. A few nights a week, I cook part time at a local restaurant just for some extra money. If any one works in the restaurant industry they know it can be hectic. We were slammed and I started to fall behind cooking. THAT IS WHEN IT HIT ME. I started getting extremely irritated and annoyed. I mean it was extreme. All I wanted was to get off work and put a dip in. For some reason though I kept thinking about this group, and how I wanted to post that I didnt do it. Well I'm here now and I DIDNT USE NICOTINE TODAY. That is 48 hours without a dip in! Today was honestly tough but, I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and quit again.

Also I thought about it today at work when I was angry/annoyed. You guys are right, with every withdraw I'm hating dip a little more.

All good wins!   When it hits, don't just think about the site, blow up our  phones! Take your rage out on us, we know the feeling and can take it!

QUIT ON!

[Rob]

Welcome to hell!  The first week as you are discovering is nothing but hell. Remember that you have to want to quit if you are to stay quit.

 Being a body builder I am sure you are no stranger to setting goals, buckling down and accomplishing them then moving on to new ones right?  Well the idea is the same here. ONE DAY AT A TIME!!! (ODAAT) Your goal and promise every morning is that you will not use nicotine for that day.  It is a manageable goal, who can't do a day right? ONLY focus on that day, we will focus on tomorrow when tomorrow gets here.

Like RDB said, you need to hate it. If it is the taste you like try some fake (Smokey Mountain Mint would be right up your alley).  If you just need to satisfy an oral fixation then start packing sunflower seeds.

I am in March with you and just sent you a PM with my digits.  Quit on!

Just focusing on cold turkey one day at a time. I've always ate sunflower seeds so will continue to do that! The ODAAT idea is great and i think its part of the reason why I think I had trouble quitting in the past.
