Best decision...I quit.

[worktowin]

Nice job BubbaM, thanks man, IÃ,’m looking forward to feeling much better.

Yes, it really does consume your life. It constrains so many things you do, and I didnÃ,’t even realize some of them. There was a guy on here talking about how he drove through a drive-thru to buy a cup of soda just to pour it out to spit in the empty cup! IÃ,’ve fucking been there!! What kind of maniac does that?!?!...me. What an asshole.

This forum is helping me a lot, IÃ,’ve written something every time I get a craving, and itÃ,’s helping me deal with this really well.

I swear I can feel the blood Ã,“searchingÃ,” for the nicotine as it flows through my body. It goes in waves through different parts of my body. Kind of eerie but cool as well.

I feel completely worthless man, I couldnÃ,’t be held accountable for anything this evening, zero energy. IÃ,’m starting to see what freedomÃ,’s IÃ,’ve striped myself of. Going to sleep at a decent hour hasnÃ,’t happened in years! IÃ,’m only a day deep. Progress. Jump from activity to activity.

Worthless, oh man, you are fighting a massive fight right now. You are winning too. Mindset is a very key part of this battle, so every time you start to feel down or lost, remember... you are winning at something that only the most bad ass people can win at.

I'll be in Vegas in a few weeks. Maybe I can buy you a drink when I'm there to celebrate your freedom?

Enjoy the winning brother. No pain, no gain. Lots and lots and lots of gain ahead... you won't believe how much life you will be gaining as a result of quitting.

Stay vigilant Vegas. You have the right attitude but the nic bitch is a crafty one. She's gonna hunt you down like no other. If you have what it takes, then you can kick her right in the ass. I cannot tell you how many times I told her to fuck off while passing a c-store or getting a gallon of milk.
3 things will help you succeed: 1). Post roll daily 2). Honor your word 3). Be active in here (KTC)
I quit 1,553 days ago and feel great. I know for a fact that had I not found this place, I would have been back on the can after day 2.
Keep on kicking ass.

She is a bitch, a nasty, vile, smelly, disgusting, ugly and vicious bitch. Did I mention I fucking hate her?

This forum is a blessing for me, I come here when I get a bad craving and just RANT!! ItÃ,’s helping me more than anything else. Can your family help? Not really. Do sunflower seeds help? Not really. The Ã,“tricksÃ,” only make you feel like they help, but writing this stuff out with guys that have been in the trenches is such a release for me.

Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vegas, you can do this if we can. I had that same moment of clarity you're talking about. At the time, I was about to put a dip in, had a can plus with me at work and the remaining 3 from the roll at home. I dumped it all that day 303 days ago. Reach out if you need anything, I'm just a pm away, and us MAF fans got to stick together. #nocup4ovi

Oh man, I have to tell yÃ,’all, I slept like a damn rock last night, for being day 2 but I looked at last night being night 2 (its my post and schedule so let me roll with it) and I passed out early.

I feel amazing completing the first day, I realized this morning that I donÃ,’t need to wake up and run downstairs to put a dip in and take the next hour to read the news on the throne with a dip in.

I am seeing the constraints that dip has put on me, IÃ,’m understanding the freedom aspect and that by itself is very motivating. Being free and having freedom.

38 year dipper here. This shits not easy. ItÃ,’s easier to quit crack than nicotine. ItÃ,’s gonna get really hard, dig in with both feet. DonÃ,’t give that bitch an inch she will grab your ass and have you sucking that nasty shit again. The best way filor me to stay quit is to look at my grandkids and realize how much time I wasted on dip instead of spending it with my kids. I read stories on here where people with cancer beg people to stop. Guys like traumagent stayed very brave and died with his honor and dignity. Never complained but instead insisted on posting roll EDD! (Every Damn Day) 48 hours sitting in a chair with a chemo dropper! Is that something you want your kids to go through? Not trying to scare you, I donÃ,’t play that shit. IÃ,’m a straight shooter, I call like I see it. Look at those kids real closely and think do I want another man raising my kids. Remember youÃ,’re never alone here. Gather numbers quickly, make many friends and post your damn promise, early EDD! IÃ,’m a pm away and I choose to quit with you today! Congratulations on one of the best decisions youÃ,’ve ever made.

P.S. You being a marine I know your word means something, so when you post in the morning, youÃ,’re giving over 30,000 Ktc members your word.... Quit on!

IÃ,’m 33 with a family, dipped for about 18 years. Thought it was cool until I came here and realized how much it consumed my life. I have had my struggles and still will. But I am learning I can love life without dip. This week I am going fishing and golfing without dip for the first time. I use Smokey Mountain and Hooch as alternatives. I chew gum and seeds and jolly ranchers. As long as I donÃ,’t put the cat shit in my mouth I win the day. I have had anxiety, depression, insomnia. ItÃ,’s been a shit last few months. It is getting better and I live ODAAT! I am finding out that I love living ODAAT. My relationships are growing stronger with everyone around me. Wife, kids, family! PM me if you need some digits!

Quit one day at a time. Each new day is your new life and a new victory. Embrace the pain and new found freedom. Wake up each day and post your promise. You can do this, one day at a time. Go Caps!!

Caps play hard, and are a very disciplined team, more than VGK...however, we have the
WILL to win...and Fluery ?

[Grizzlyhasclaws]

Fireballs and sunflower seeds were my go to... Stay quit. ODAAT One day at a time and NAFAR never again for any reason. Nicotine is worthless dog shit.

[VegasGoldenKnights]

Brutal! Ahhhh, damn brutal. I can feel the veins in my arms and legs pumping blood each pump, begging for dip!

I want to go to the gym after dinner to work it out of me, but I feel so weak at the same time.

Water helps a lot, probably the single best thing to subdue the craving so far. Not sure how the community feels re: marijuana, but thatÃ,’s helping as well.
