I was a slave to Skoal straight since I was in high school. I switched to pouches a few years back, telling myself they were "safer". Then I said I would quit on my 40th bday, but of course that came and went. Now my 41st is creeping up. I am on day 4 and it's been rough. But here I am standing strong. I can do this!

You're damn right you can do this Gooch! If I did, you can. The secret is to learn how and why we post roll and do it everyday. Make friends that you can lean on. There is a lot of support here for you if you reach out for it. Welcome. I will be looking for your roll post in January 15'.

I finally figured out how to post roll and just did it. I couldn't figure out how to cut and paste with my new phone

Good job Gooch! Proud to have you aboard with KTC. It is a really easy formula for quitting nicotine of all forms. Post roll everyday stating to the entire site and all of the members you are not going to use any form of nicotine for that day, and then stick by your word and do exactly that. We take this ODAAT (One Day At A Time) You can as well.
1 Problem + Nicotine = 2 Problems

It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you don't quit. ~Confucius~

Plenty of time to figure out computer/phone intricacies, the important thing is that you are QUIT! nice job getting this far-- one day at at time from here on out, it really adds up. There will be rough patches, but being on day 4 you are through a critical part- your body is clean of the nicotine! and you've made it through 4 challenges! you can take whatever comes your way. Keep it up, make friends here (that's critical, they really help) and learn all you can about the addiction- that helps with motivation and you need to know the enemy. Proud to quit with you Gooch!
Took my freedom back October 23, 2013.

Here's an article that taught me a lot and made me hate the addiction: Nicotine Addiction 101-- newer quitters check it out-- and vets do it too, to breathe new life into your quit!

24 Quitters I have met: Ihatecope, >Pinched<, T-Cell, grizzlyhasclaws, Canvasback, BaseballPlayer, Cbird65, ERDVM, BradleyGuy, Ted, Zeno, AppleJack, Bronc, Knockout, MookieBlaylock, Rdad, 2mch2lv4, MN_Ben, Natro, Lippizaner, Amquash, ChristopherJ, GDubya, Mogul. Each one was a real honor and continues to fortify my resolve to stay QUIT!

Thanks to u all! I appreciate the encouragement. Day 3 was the hardest so far. I felt like punching a hole through the wall. Exercising has helped and I went with another members advice and got some fake chew. It kinda feels like cheating but it helped a lot yesterday.

This is good stuff man!
The key to your survival is wrapping your head around the one day at a time mindset. Today has enough trouble of its own... Concentrate on it instead of looking too far ahead. Each day brings your true freedom into sharper and sharper focus. Everything you need to succeed is already mapped out for you... Follow the trail we've blazed.
Day 1... 4-17-13


Well, it's one louder isn't it? It's not ten.

Gooch you're getting lots of support here. Live up to attention you are getting by bringing it everyday. Post roll, then live up to it. If it helps I still fuck up posting roll, but every morning I'm posting roll before I do anything else.

Hey Gooch. Glad to have you on board. I've dipped about as long as you so I feel what you're going thru. I'm on day 11. It has gotten a little easier but it's still there in the back of my mind all the time. This site will really help you if you use it. I don't post as much as some of these guys but I read a lot. My advice from a guy at day 11 would be to keep your head in the game and be prepared for random craves. Seeds, gum, mints, and toothpicks are my tools. I have fake dip too but I too feel like it's cheating a little. I don't much like the taste of it either. Feel free to PM me if you want and we can exchange #s. Stay strong. You got this!!
Don't confuse your path with your destination. Just because it's stormy now doesn't mean that you aren't headed for sunshine.

Quit for YOU!! EDD!!

It's pretty helpful to log your experiences in your Intro here. It ends up creating a good record of what you've been through for later, and helps others see what sort of help you might be ready for. Quit hard Gooch!
