Thank you all this site. It has made my quit that much easier. I am at my 10 day mark and can't make heads or tails of anything. My mind is such a blur and it feels like I'm looking through someone else's glasses. My concentration is not all there my wife says my name 5 times before I awnser. I read and read KTC forums over and over to keep me sane. I will never go through this again.
I'm with you. I'm exhausted all the time and it is very difficult to concentrate. It will get better.
I sort of remember my day 12 - I think I spent much of that day staring at my walls when I should have been working. It takes a while for the brain to rewire, but things will clear up. B)B
Harconan, Quitting with ya, hang in there. Sounds like the fog I've been dealing with. Still kicking back the water? It's easy to get behind on stay super saturated. With ya in spirit!

One hell of a headache today plus I feel like I'm sunk in water. Hazy feeling this will go away soon I hope.
It'll get better- keep up the communication. Keep posting and keep your word. It sucks now and there will be more days of it sucking but it will never suck worse than the alternative of abusing that shit again. Quitting with you today Harconan
The first few weeks or so are awful. Don't ever forget those days. Should you cave you will get to relive them. Don't ever cave. Also don't forget that you paid some tobacco company your hard earned money to end up feeling this way after you decided to stop using their product.

I quit with you today!

You posted roll. Great job, that's the foundation of this site. At first it just seems like something meaningless, cutting and pasting, while trying not to ruin what others have cut and paste...but once you start stacking the days up, that roll post will become something very important to you. It's your promise to thousands of us that for today you are quit, and by skipping that roll, it tells us you are not ready to make that promise. That will bring more accountability to your quit than you realize. So post early and often everyday. The guys above me are right, quitting sucks. But being a slave to a stupid addiction sucks even more. Good luck.

I hate dipping very afraid to die. I am very serious and capable. I took my last dip Mon and signed up to this site. I want to be held accountable but I know I will never take another dip. My mind and heart are set to quit. I am the one wanting to. I made a promise to myself and my family I will beat this.
Thanks for all the support I appreciate it I'm feeling like I'm walking through water or something I feel bad right now but I know it will pasd

Hello everyone I have made up my mind to quit. I have many health concerns right now. Blood clot plus multiple sclerosis. All this has added extra stress on myself and family. I figure while I'm ahead I better quit now. Not wanting cancer to go with everything else. This will be the time I am absolutely done with this shit. My wife hates it my kids always tell me how bad it is. I just need this. Thank you for reading the intro.
Quitting absolutely does suck. Get yourself tons of water and some fruit juice. Drink it all up. It will make The Suck not as bad. Wont make it fun. Just, not as bad.

We quit daily here. One day at a time. We are not promised tomorrow so we don't promise for tomorrow. We promise today. At some points in our life, we promise second by second. It happens.

How bad do you want to quit? And I do mean YOU want to quit. You can't quit for anyone or anything else. All others will benefit from your quit, absolutely. Think of it like this. You used because you wanted to use and became a slave. You have to want the freedom to break those chains, your family cant do it. Why would you want them to dig you out of your own hole anyways?
Harconan,

I want to ask you the same question as Kubiack. How badly do you want to quit? Can you tell me how much you hate nicotine? Would you be able to look me in the eyes and tell me that you will never do it again? Your wife? Your kids?

This isn't a quit for them good sir. I thought I was quitting for my friends and family at first. That's what sparked my want to quit, the problem was, I loved to dip. So I always "tried" to quit. It was always so half assed. I finally said fuck it, I ain't gonna die of this shit. I am gonna die hating it but without it. You quit for you, your family just reaps the benefits of having you around for longer.

Post roll every damn day, and quit with all of us on KTC every damn day. We will hold you accountable, and we expect you to do the same for us.

Welcome Harconan.

Quitting is really hard. It sucks really bad.

You've got to want to quit more than quitting sucks.

I'm not sure I'm reading that in your intro.

Nicotine has never done anything for you. It has stolen from you. It has made you its slave.

Take back your life.

Quit like your life depends on it, because it does.

Congrats on deciding to quit and posting roll. Sorry to hear about the medical issues; you are doing your body a world of good by quitting. You mentioned that your wife and kids hate it, but make sure this quit is for YOU. I've only been here a few days, but one piece of wisdom I've seen iterated multiple times is that you have to own your quit to be successful.

I quit with you today!
