Hello everyone. I'm Shelly from Wisconsin. I quit smoking seven years ago (thank god), but I chose to use pouches to replace the nicotine. I didn't realize at the time that they actually contained <b>more</b> nicotine than cigs! I was still happy, since I smoked for twenty years, and I do breath easier now. A friend of mine suggested quitting smokes that way, but I couldn't imagine using bare tobacco, and then he showed me pouches. Now, it's time for me to quit all tobacco. I actually tried to start this last week Friday, on my own, using nicotine gum. It turned out highly unsuccessful. I didn't tell my husband. I made it through the first day relatively easily, and then on day 2, we had a terrible fight, and we never fight. I immediately ran to the store and bought more pouches. Now, for the last week I have pared my usage down to two/day, until today... and that increased to three. The same cycle all over again. I visited this site last week, and ordered some fake pouches to help. I will get them tomorrow. I can't believe that I am so screwed up, that I am sitting here totally out of sorts just posting this. Are our posts censored here? Are we allowed to talk freely? I don't want to come off with little class, but I can tell already that there will be times when I need to vent, honestly. I hope this works out. I hope I don't drag others down in the process, and I hope I can help others, after or while, I get some help. Edited by m5shelly, Oct 10 2014, 08:58 PM.

Thanks Hart. I was not being totally honest in my intro; when I said I was out of sorts posting my intro, I should've said I was (and am) sitting here crying. It's crazy, I know. The fucking power this crap has over my life! My husband is trying to be supportive. I have since told him what I'm doing, but he had never quit anything, so he had no clue. He asks me, "what's worse, the physical addiction, or lack of nicotine?". Honestly, I have no idea what's what. I just know that I felt better before, with a quick fix. Thanks for listening. |

I just posted my first roll - day 1. That really sucks on a phone, but the extra time it takes will fill some time, I guess. |

Ok Shelly. Here's the deal. You will beat this. With our help. But you gotta follow the process. You are an addict. You need to admit that and you have a chance. Flush all your shit. All of it. Let us know when it's done. If you haven't done so, find the quit groups page and post roll in January 2015. This is the month you hit the hall of fame (100 days) and you will hit 100 days. I'm gonna put our pack of girl quitters on your butt and they will ensure you stay quit. But you have to be committed as well. Very much so committed. You can quit this. You can come out on the other side empowered for being quit and wanting to continue self-improvement. You have roughly ~ 500 active supporters wanting to see you be successful. My story? 25 year dipper 9100 days 35 thousand bucks pissed in the wind to kill myself. How stupid is that? Fuck big tobacco. You need to develop a hatred as well. It will give your quit staying power. Fucking pricks. Make shit highly addictive that will kill you and market it as a safe alternative to smoke tobacco. Oh yeah, let's make a junior high entry level called hawkin. They need to be stood up in a line and have their collective sacks cut off. Maybe turn them into coin purses for the money we're saving. Other than that I'm a nice guy. |

We all understand the pain of quitting that you are going through and the withdrawal that you have ahead of you. I was where you are 2 1/2 years ago and honestly at the time I didn't think it was going to be possible to quit. My brothers and sisters here made it possible. They hold me accountable and likewise I hold them accountable and it has led to success. Whatever you do don't halfass it. |

Hi Shelly - I am also a female dipper....well I was....I quit....286 days ago. You know, I was so scared, nervous, full of doubt, anxious and hopeful when I started here. I had a plan to quit. I thought I knew what I was going to do, how I could handle it, how I could be successful at this. The reality was, I just had to trust what these people were telling me. I just had to jump in feet first and quit. Just be quit. I spent a lot of time reading to both be educated but to also pass some time and not have to log off of my lifeline.....KTC and these people. I would sleep as much as possible to get thru the first few days. I would practically live in chat and text two or three people everyday. I began to understand that every one here knows what the fears were like, how the anxiety felt, how the insecurity and doubt tried to bring you down, and how just following the POST ROLL, KEEP YOUR WORD, REPEAT method truly worked. We all get it. Come here to vent. Scream and punch your way thru this. Post in your thread and keep a record of how shitty it is.....do this so you will NEVER forget how horrible it is......so you don't have to do it again. We put ourselves here. We are addicts. But, you are going to have do the work, and we will be here to support you each step of the way. You will see so many hands reaching out to you......all you have to do is just grab one. We got you..... Quit on sister.... Ginet Edited by Ginet, Oct 11 2014, 12:32 AM.

You may be asking yourself, "What does Posting Roll have to do with quitting"? Posting Roll is the foundation for a solid quit. It is your promise to yourself and the rest of us that you will not put nicotine into your body today. Notice I said "Today". That's what we worry about, Today and Today only. One Day At A Time (ODAAT) is a term you will see on here a lot. Quitting will cause stress which may lead to problems, so here is a little math problem for ya. What does 1 Problem + Nicotine add up to? 2 Problems. Nicotine will not solve anything, it will only make things worse. Post Roll Daily Honor your word be active here Follow the 3 and successful you will be. Quitting with you today. Edited by Raider, Oct 11 2014, 12:34 AM.

Wow Shelly you got lots of great advice up above. Quitting is hard, and very trying on your emotions. For us men we usually get angry and lash out at everyone around us, and I can only imagine the emotions that come into play for a woman...but regardless of that know that you can do this. There is no one on this site who didn't show up a little humbled because quitting was too big for them to handle alone. Treat your roll call like the true promise that it is, and honor that promise everyday. Everyone can quit for one day. You'll be amazed what you can accomplish quitting this way. Be strong. Good luck. |

Hi Shelly, great decision. We have a shit ton of bad ass quitters here, included some serious bad ass female quitters. The KTC saved my life half a year ago, follow the program, make some friends, and Quit Like Fuck (QLF) Every Damn Day (EDD). And yes, you can say potty words in here!

Great decision. Get in an post roll ASAP today. From your intro we need to get one thing clear... you said "time to quit tobacco." While this is true, you do need to quit dipping.... Realize what you are quitting. The culprit here and the evil doer is NICOTINE. You stopped smoking and transferred your addiction right over to dipping pouches. You can not make that mistake again. Nicotine comes in many forms of delivery... let's kick this addiction to nicotine IN ALL FORMS to the curb today. Start with ROLL ... you can do this! |
