My name is Jeff Slaughter...I've been dipping Cope Long Cut since I was 16 years old. I quit while I was in boot camp, then got out and celebrated with a dip...Biggest Mistake Ever....I'm now 29 years old, and God only knows how much cash I've tossed aside on this junk. I'm married, have a wonderful 3 year old, and every reason under the sun to kill the can. But I've failed at every attempt. My wife and I have fought over this time and again, and I have no defense. Never have. After failing every time, I got to the point where I just felt defeated, depressed, and knew I let my wife and daughter down. Every time I put a pinch in I felt guilty, but it was not enough to make me stop. I use it to cope w/ stress, and to simply have something to do. Well, things are changing. I'm pumped I found this site. And I have an open and honest dialogue going with my wife about this soon to be gone habit. I've decided my quit day will be tomorrow, (my first post was to the Dec group saying it was today, but I had already had a pinch this morning and need to be completely honest.) I'm still not clear on how to join a group and post roll call, but thats tonights homework. Thanks in advance for all the upcoming support and I hope after I make it to the hall of fame, I can meet some of my other brothers in Houston. |

Welcome, Dump the can now, and post day one. That is honest! Wait until tomorrow morning and there's going to be another reason why its not a good day to quit. Go to the Welcome Center (pink/salmon link) on the top of the screen to learn how to post roll call. Your quit group is December. Glad to be quit with you. Let me know how I can help. Steve |

As long as you got rid of all your dip before you got here or posted roll, then count is as day 1. I was in the same boat as you. Finished my tin by noon and found this site looking for alternatives to dip. Found this site. They said just mark that day as my first day. Good to see you make it here. Best decision of your life as long as you want it badly enough. |

JSlaught. Just remember, post roll first thing every day if you can. One day at a time. Come bitch to us. Blog on your introduction, join the chat. Anything to keep your ass away from the Nic Whore. We are all going through/have gone through what you are dealing with and we understand. We also understand that there are ways to get through it and caving is just a pussy ass excuse. I quit with you today brother. Make a plan for when the craves come on. Gum, candy, hooch, anything to occupy your oral fixation until the craving passes. Food is ok too for now. Don't worry about getting fat, you can deal with that shit after you've walked through the fog. |

My plan for when the craves come: At home: have sex or At work: can't stand the guy that sits next to me so I'm either a) going to hit him in the arm, or B) going to gnaw on this gay little notebook he carries around, and maybe still hit him. In the car: Scream and chew on my wallet and jam to one of many Tool CDs I remember them all to well and I'll be damned if I let them get me this time. Bring it on |

Good deal BUT At home: keep in mind your hands/arms may fall off with that much work At work: you won't be able to hit the guy hard enough enough because your arms are sore. Chew the gay notebook instead. In the car: sounds like a good plan |

Sgt Slaughter! Post roll EVERY DAY. Quit one day at a time. Do whatever it takes to keep nicotine out of your body. Gnaw on gay men's notebooks, peckers..whatever it takes! Read everything you can on this website. These guys saved my life and as a community, we will save yours. Commit to your quit, own your quit. Accountability is key..post roll, talk shit, rage on...do whatever but get some skin in the game. exchange phone numbers with the psychos quitters in your group. PM me if you need/want another phone number. I'm here with you and I have not forgotten the shitty days. That's what keeps me quit! Miles - 197 days and counting READ SOME HALL OF FAME SPEECHES! These quitters inspire me EVERY DAY to stay quit. |

Hey, Jeff, Welcome. I think you have the right attitude, recognize that you're an addict, and know you need help. And that's what we're here for, to give and get the help we all need. You're joining a great quit group which is really pulling together and helping each other out. Remember than when you post roll, it's your commitment to everyone at KTC that you absolutely will not use nicotine that day, come what may. No excuses. Your commitment lasts exactly one day. So you only have to keep it for one day. That's your goal. Don't worry about making it to the HOF at 100 days, or even a month. The days will add up by themselves. You just focus on this day, the one you have control over right now. Your goal is no nicotine today. Then come back tomorrow and make the same commitment. That's how every quitter here does it. See you in the morning. |

Day 2...It hasn't been as bad as I expected...I have a headache an can't concentrate on anything, but all in all no where near as bad as last time. I'm brushing my teeth every time I want to toss one in, so I'm up to 5 times today. I'm pretty sure everyone at my office thinks I'm OCD or something, but who cares. |

You need to chew on some sunflower seeds, red hots, atomic fireballs, straws....something to help with the oral fixation. Drink lotsa water too. Hang tough buddy. It gets drastically better. |

Ya, been hitting up the sunflower seeds pretty hard...Figured the brushing of the teeth would help with the nasty ass color they are right now. I'm hanging in there. The hardest part was to accept the fact that I will NEVER do this again. It was easy to accept while I was in bootcamp. I didn't have access to it. But, right now, all I have to do is walk across the street to the convenient store. I'm old fashioned in the sense that I think the guy should take care of the cars, i.e. get the gas, change the oil, etc...But, right now I really don't trust myself to go get gas. Gonna make my wife do it, just to make sure I stay the hell away. |

Dont worry about never doing this again. Forever is a long time. Just worry about your promise that you will not chew today. Don't worry about tomorrow, next week, or next year. When you wake up tomorrow, thats when you post roll and concentrate on quitting on the new day. Take it day by day, and early on take it hour by hour if you need to. Each day without Nic in your system, the easier things get. Remember how shitty you feel now, so in the future you will think twice before ever having to put your self through this again. |

Sounds like the wife may just get real tired of your ass before long, especially when she realizes the controlling effect nicotine was having on your sex drive before. :o 'crackup' Welcome, Jeff. You can do this, especially if your wife is in your corner. Hang in there, it gets much better. |
