First things first, and this will never change. Thank you to all the quitters on here for the support. You know what an impact it makes to have that encouragement from someone who's walked in your shoes. Secondly, I fully intend to reach out to many of you through PM's and exchange numbers, emails, etc. I just haven't had time to do that yet. I'm humbled by all of you who've reached out.

If you read my introduction you know that I've "stopped" dipping two times prior to this. My most recent cave coming in July of 2013 after almost a year of being "stopped". See in my short two days here I've realized the difference between stopping and quitting. I'm confident that this time I will stay quit because I'm being held accountable by many of people who battle same addiction I do. When I reach my 100 days of being quit, I don't stop. I continue to post roll call, I post roll call on future HOF groups and pay back what current HOF did for me on my journey. I'm rambling a lot and probably coming off as over confident in my quit, but why would anyone be anything but CONFIDENT! With the network I'm building I have no choice but to stay quit!

Thoughts from Day 2
Morning drive is a challenge
I'm much more blunt and less likely to take shit when I'm quit (I kinda like it)
Day 2 was MUCH better than Day 1
Few fleeting thoughts about my ol' friend Grizz but not on the front burner
Smokey Mountain and Wint-O-Green mints are helping me tremendously
About to go workout which I enjoy doing

Wow, I'm absolutely overwhelmed with all the support I'm receiving from each and every one of you! Today, for lack of a better word has been shitty, at times. I drive about 25 min to work every day and my morning dip with coffee has always been my ritual. Today, I drove in a complete haze of tiredness and fogginess. I sipped on my coffee hoping to at least catch a caffeine buzz, which I didn't. By the time I had got to work I was absolutely a mental wreck. I contemplated the whole drive about buying just 1 more tin and really savoring it today, and start my quit tomorrow. I refused to let myself crumble just hours into my quit. Strangely enough, I thought about posting my very first roll call first thing this morning. I thought, "I'm going to be that guy who caves the first morning and has everyone disappointed and shaking their heads." I couldn't let down everyone who believes in me and my fellow quitters. Most important, I couldn't let myself down.

I'm home from work and feeling pretty awesome, mentally. Physically, my stomach is pretty knotted up and bloated feeling. I don't feel as crisp I usually do. Kind of just going through the motions waiting to sleep tonight. As for keeping my oral fixation satisfied while I get over the nicotine, I had to buy a can of Smokey Mountain and have been chewing gum like crazy. I'm feeling very optimistic about the rest of today.
Water and exercise will help with the withdraws. Read everything you can find on nicotine/addiction. There is s Lotta great information on this site. Learn your enemy it knows you.

Watch your coffee intake. Keep in mind that you need less coffee then when you were using. Nicotine somewhat suppressed the affects of coffee.

Nicotine screwed up a lotta sh@@. It's going to take a minute for you, your brain and body to begin getting use to normalsy. The way things were meant to be. Your body and mind is thanking you. Embrace these next few days and realize you did this to yourself. You want your freedom it's going to cost you. It's worth it all my friend, that i promise. Your going to kick yourself right in the but for ever putting the poison in your pie hole.

Need anything let me know.
Congratulations on taking your life back. Get ready to embrace the suck and the fog. I posted day 187 this morning and loving every minute of life. PM me and I'll give you a text number. Welcome to the badass club.
Keep it up, THans -- you can look yourself in the mirror tonight knowing that you made it through day 1, despite the cravings early and throughout the day. That's a huge victory, and should give you confidence that you retain the power to make the choices to become healthy again. Build on the foundation that you established today, constantly reminding yourself that you've got one nic-free day under your belt and you're still standing. Keep following the recipe: post roll, make some contacts, record your progress, learn from others' successes and failures. Own your quit.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

You've done the only two thing you need to;
1. You posted roll
2. No nicotine today

That's all you have to do to be quit.
It will suck for a while, then it won't. 3-4 days of quit and the nicotine will be gone from your system...and that's very good. Just remember what brought you here, a stupid can of poison laced dried up leaves. Every day in the books is another day of freedom.
It's easier the more you read on here, spend time in Chat and build your 'quit connections'...guys who will hold each other accountable. Be proud of what you accomplished/overcame today...we are!

Normally I respond with something to the effect of, "why the F are you waiting till tomorrow" but seeing how the day is almost done….fuck that.  Why the F are you waiting till tomorrow.  Did you read what you just wrote?  Stained teeth, painful gums,…a mouth that feels like your fingers after soaking them in hot water for 2 hours. 

Well, regardless what you do tonight, I assume you've had a dip today, so tomorrow will be your day 1.  Day 1 of freedom.  No nicotine….in any way, shape, or form.  It's going to suck balls too.  You've come to KTC, asking for help.  Stating that tomorrow is your day 1 and you're apprehensive about it.  Well, first off if you are serious about this quit, then KTC will be your rock. The pillar to support your quit.  There is much to say about KTC, but most of it you'll need to learn for yourself…to do this, read everything. Join the chat room.  But, the first thing you must learn is to post roll.  Write your name in the June quit section and promise to yourself, your fellow June Quitters, and KTC that you will not use nicotine for that day.  Not only are you now accountable to yourself, but thousands of others.  Then do the same the next day…we'll worry about the next day's quit when you get there.  Lastly, throw your apprehension out the window.  You either go into this 110% or …you will fail.  Create a support network should you feel a crave you can't cope with, we'll talk you off the ledge.  PM me if you need a life line or anything.  Lets do this brother!
Thanks for being so blunt, I need that in my quit. You would be correct in assuming I did have some dips today. I had planned to have my last dip before bed tonight but, after reading your post I flushed the last of it. I read the roll call explanation and I think I have it figured out. Let the journey begin.
Awesome !!! Taking that first step is really the hardest. Bro, I gotta tell ya, quittn is SO freakn awesome. A day is coming when you give yourself a hug and thank yourself for hanging in the rend being quit. It really does get that good. I didn't know what to expect. I've dipped for 35 years. It scared the hell out of me just thinking about quitting. But now, I'm so thankful that I hung in there. And I'm also sad for all those that have given up on being quit. Brotha, I'm telling you, your gonna love it. But true, get to the welcome center, read everything. Get every phone number you can. Give your number out. Build relationships here. They are they the glue that holds you here. Post roll first thing every morning. Never mss a day. Make your quit your first priority. You got this bro!!!
Thansen, that is a F'n badass quit move, and I F'n love it. I'm yelling "Yes!" like Marv Albert.

A veteran kindly PM'd me to correct my post, and I would like to own up to the error of my ways. The moment you throw the dip away is day 1. You become quit from that moment forward in that day and we will support you for the rest of that day. So, if you quit yesterday, good news brother, you're already on day 2.

I'm stoked that you pulled the trigger and manned up. Get ready for the suck. Embrace it. Seriously. Embrace the suck as much as you embraced the dip,Â…in just a few short days you'll look back on it and say damn, I don't ever want to do that again. I quit with you all day, tomorrow, I'm going to quit with you again. See the pattern.
Welcome Brother, you will find tons of support here, but no coddling. We take this seriously, we depend and count on one another, and expect to see your name on roll every damn day!! You are making the best decision of your life!!

I'm just starting to tell that my addiction is in the early stages of really doing damage to my body.
Sorry Guy, the damage started 9 years ago when you first introduced the shit into your body. That first dip can be the one that caused cancer. Read all you can and learn from others experiences. As a 40+ year addict I'm glad to see you quitting. I wish I'd wished up sooner but I can't look back only looking at today.
Dumping your can and realizing you have an addiction are important steps to your quit, br proud of that. If you have any 'stash/emergency' cans anywhere, dump them in the toilet and rinse out the cans. Do a solid inventory of your car/truck, where you work/live and make damn sure you don't have any more lying around. Welcome to Day 2!
I quit with you today- Listen to the people like slugo and the others they will not steer you wrong. You must uncover the stashes and flush them asap. Post roll everyday. be committed to your quit, your brothers

Welcome Brother, you will find tons of support here, but no coddling. We take this seriously, we depend and count on one another, and expect to see your name on roll every damn day!! You are making the best decision of your life!!

I'm just starting to tell that my addiction is in the early stages of really doing damage to my body.


Sorry Guy, the damage started 9 years ago when you first introduced the shit into your body. That first dip can be the one that caused cancer. Read all you can and learn from others experiences. As a 40+ year addict I'm glad to see you quitting. I wish I'd wished up sooner but I can't look back only looking at today.

Normally I respond with something to the effect of, "why the F are you waiting till tomorrow" but seeing how the day is almost done….fuck that.  Why the F are you waiting till tomorrow.  Did you read what you just wrote?  Stained teeth, painful gums,…a mouth that feels like your fingers after soaking them in hot water for 2 hours. 

Well, regardless what you do tonight, I assume you've had a dip today, so tomorrow will be your day 1.  Day 1 of freedom.  No nicotine….in any way, shape, or form.  It's going to suck balls too.  You've come to KTC, asking for help.  Stating that tomorrow is your day 1 and you're apprehensive about it.  Well, first off if you are serious about this quit, then KTC will be your rock. The pillar to support your quit.  There is much to say about KTC, but most of it you'll need to learn for yourself…to do this, read everything. Join the chat room.  But, the first thing you must learn is to post roll.  Write your name in the June quit section and promise to yourself, your fellow June Quitters, and KTC that you will not use nicotine for that day.  Not only are you now accountable to yourself, but thousands of others.  Then do the same the next day…we'll worry about the next day's quit when you get there.  Lastly, throw your apprehension out the window.  You either go into this 110% or …you will fail.  Create a support network should you feel a crave you can't cope with, we'll talk you off the ledge.  PM me if you need a life line or anything.  Lets do this brother!
Thanks for being so blunt, I need that in my quit. You would be correct in assuming I did have some dips today. I had planned to have my last dip before bed tonight but, after reading your post I flushed the last of it. I read the roll call explanation and I think I have it figured out. Let the journey begin.
Awesome !!! Taking that first step is really the hardest. Bro, I gotta tell ya, quittn is SO freakn awesome. A day is coming when you give yourself a hug and thank yourself for hanging in the rend being quit. It really does get that good. I didn't know what to expect. I've dipped for 35 years. It scared the hell out of me just thinking about quitting. But now, I'm so thankful that I hung in there. And I'm also sad for all those that have given up on being quit. Brotha, I'm telling you, your gonna love it. But true, get to the welcome center, read everything. Get every phone number you can. Give your number out. Build relationships here. They are they the glue that holds you here. Post roll first thing every morning. Never mss a day. Make your quit your first priority. You got this bro!!!
Thansen, that is a F'n badass quit move, and I F'n love it. I'm yelling "Yes!" like Marv Albert.

A veteran kindly PM'd me to correct my post, and I would like to own up to the error of my ways. The moment you throw the dip away is day 1. You become quit from that moment forward in that day and we will support you for the rest of that day. So, if you quit yesterday, good news brother, you're already on day 2.

I'm stoked that you pulled the trigger and manned up. Get ready for the suck. Embrace it. Seriously. Embrace the suck as much as you embraced the dip,Â…in just a few short days you'll look back on it and say damn, I don't ever want to do that again. I quit with you all day, tomorrow, I'm going to quit with you again. See the pattern.
