one week quit

[pab1964]

The only way this will work...the only way your going to be successful in your quit is if YOU WANT TO QUIT....thats it...plain and simple....you can't be doing this for any one but your self.........no matter what happens...no matter how shitty life gets or no matter bad you feel because the nic bitch is crawling up your ass....do not submit...do not cave....

You can do this....you have support here.....

Thanks for the support guys, agree with you on this. Every other quit attempt i have made has been for someone or something. I could never make it past day 3 or 4 because when its not for you the rationalizations just seek up on you...

Its actually kind of fun how this quit started. I had stopped by the gas station and purchased two tins. I never bought two tins. I guess its easier to lie to yourself when you buy them one at a time. Well I threw in what would be my last dip walking back to my car and dropped the still open tin. It landed upright but all i could think of while it was falling was thank god i bought two and when it landed barely spilling any i was so damn relieved. I drove to work and i think it dawned on me how ludicrous that was. The sheer flood of emotions when i almost lost 5 dollars worth of poison. I stopped by one of the trash bins on the way in to work and spit my dip out then opened up one of my cans and dumped it in the trash. The feeling of panic and loss came back and just struck me as too damn funny. I started laughing and poured out the other can as well. Still laughing i walked in to work... Over the next couple days and even now the cravings, the shakes, the rationalizations when they come up i find myself amused and sometimes laughing about how a substance this readily available and socially accepted can take over your life and mess with your head.

Awesome my friend! You can do this! I've been dipping 38 years and been quit 85 glorious days! No way I could have made it without all these guy's and gals! We're here 24-7 get you some numbers text, pm, call, whatever it takes my friend! I use fake occasionally when it gets real bad. Damn proud to be quit with you today!

Do this quit now my young friend, so you aren't here in 20 years saying you dipped for 26 years. I dipped for 5 years, met my wife, stopped for a few months, and thought it was ok to buy a can for my bachelor party. Eleven years later I woke up and quit.

This addiction is relentless in terms of ease of access and social acceptance. Our fight is daily, and out promise to quit starts with a roll call here.

Take the advice of those who posted. We have been down this road - many of us are 30 even close to 40-year chewers. Quit now - take hold of your life and don't look back. Take one day at a time. Help is always here when you need it.

Welcome. Sounds like you got the right attitude. Wake up every morning ready to do battle. This is a one day at a time war. Stay positive and channel your anger toward nicotine/tobacco.

Woodze....7 days solo is pretty bad ass....great start to your quit....nice job posting roll in June....now that you've figured out how to post roll, the rest should be easy ...right?......one of the most important thing we do here is Post Roll....we do it every day....we wake up / piss / post roll....you make a promise to yourself and your quit group that u will not use nicotine that day....go to bed...wake up...repeat.....i will be posting day 97 tomorrow and the most important thing i've done since my day 1 is Post Roll....a man is only as good and his word...by posting roll, your giving your word that you will not use nicotine

Lots of things you can do to offset the cravings and the withdraws from nicotine.....
*drink tons of water...flush your system
*go to the gym...if able, do shit loads of cardio...sweat your ass off
*find a substitue...gum, hard candy, fake dip....what ever works for you....i've been using hard candy
*stay busy...anything u can do to help keep your mind of dipping
*spend some time reading thru all the post on KTC...read read read...lots of good stories of quit by some wily vets
*get active in your room...its not enough just to post roll everyday...get involve in the discussions...establish rapport with other quitters....collect digits from other quitters in your group....hold each other accountable

The only way this will work...the only way your going to be successful in your quit is if YOU WANT TO QUIT....thats it...plain and simple....you can't be doing this for any one but your self.........no matter what happens...no matter how shitty life gets or no matter bad you feel because the nic bitch is crawling up your ass....do not submit...do not cave....

You can do this....you have support here.....

Just found this site wish i had found it earlier. Could have prevented several false starts in the last 6 months. But anyway, I quit on the 14th of March 2015, I have been rationalizing and coming up with every excuse to not quit for some time now. I'm 25 now and had my first experiences with dip playing hockey in high school. It wasn't until I was about 19 that i began dipping regularly and the addiction grew to about 3-4 cans a week. I have attempted to quit before and each time after suffering though 3 days of hell I fall to a rationalization after some trigger or another sets off a craving. Its tough for me to acknowledge those failures but from reading here on this site its a common way that people fail and the best way to fight it is to seek support and recommit every day to being quit. I look forward to calling roll in the june 2015 group (once i figure out how to do it.) I am committing to this fight. Thank you in advance for any support.

woodze, welcome and congrats on best decision you could make. yes the first week SUCKS, then it will suck a little less, bit will still suck. Seen you already posted roll, good job! Do it EDD (every damn day) and make your promise to yourself and fellow quit brothers not to use! KTC works if you want it! Get involved with your June Quit brothers, read all you can! After 24+ yrs I am 58 days quit thanks to KTC and my brothers! You can do it too!

Quit with you today!
