Thanks guys. It's nice to know I have support. I'm definitley in it for good this time no matter what. No morning dip and to be honest I disint even notice. Now to keep going.

Applejack your completely right.  Time to nut up or shit up

Wt57 I'm not sure I understand what you are saying? You post roll every morning as accountability and to say you will not use nicotine that day?  As I did this morning.

I don't see you posted in June 2014.....get in the game and post roll....are you a quitter or pretender?

I did post. Hmm if you go back a few it's there. Looks like I need to repost

Nice job posting roll Icehead! Well done and great decision. Focus on staying quit for today only! Do whatever it takes in order to get thru this 1 day. You can do this. I'm quit with you all day long!

Thanks bud! Day one is starting to be a struggle. I realize how manny triggers there actually are. Lucky for me the guys I work with are cool and don't mind the extra anger today.

You may have not noticed this morning, but another day you can't shake it off your mind. Either way you can always come here and tell us what you are feeling. I played ice hockey as well, Dipped getting ready and as soon as I got off the ice so I know what that was like. Keep on posting and reading and then do some more reading and read a little more on here. PM me if you ever need anything.

Atta boy.

Truth?... this will suck. It will suck HARD. You need to know that.
But... it WILL get better. I wish I could tell you when but I can't. Everyone has a different time frame. Keep this site close, educate yourself by reading everything on this site, get to know some brothers and sisters, follow our advice... it's not easy but it DOES work. 3 days and the poison of nicotine is out of your system. It's a matter of mettle after that. Rock this, dude...

So day one for me was a cake walk. Had some rough patches as I deliver pizza and have to drive behind idiots all day. It did get a little rough at the end of working a 12 hour shift with triggers left and right but I still managed.

I dont understand and maybe someone can explain this to me but I was unusually happy today. My theory is that I got out a lot of anger while driving and letting out some road rage that I was able to enjoy the other parts of my day. Has my rage been pent up and not getting my fix is allowing me to finally get it out full force? Or is my mind in full agreeance with my quit and allowing me to enjoy it.

All I know is I hope that every single one of my next 99 days is like today. Although I realize it most likely wont happen, its nice to dream right?

That is great that its going smoothly so far for you! Can't explain why, but I can tell you that its only 1 of about 15 different emotions you'll experience over the next few days, maybe weeks. Just remember that your body is healing with each different emotion that comes along, whether its anger, depression, or happiness.
Everyone is different - but my day 1 was easier than my day 3 and 4. Those were some of the tougher ones. I also had a few tough days in the mid-20's too (with depression), so don't let your guard down.
Quit with you today, bro.

Never letting my guard down brother. Another good day so far. A little foggy but nothing to serious. no major cravings yet. But i can definitely feel it going downhill from here.

Appreciate the quit, I know i will need it in these next few day.

Can't think well, just going to type and see what happens.

Here I am, 27 years old and 18 hours in. After a can a day habit for the past 10 years. Which has gone up recently to about a can and a half. It has really gotten to much, the past few weeks ive been disgusted with myself at how much ive been dipping. All the dip bottles/cans/cups around. The empty cans just stacked on my desk, because i forget to throw them out. Well I went through, cleaned out all of the shit. Will be cleaning my car tomorrow and my work truck on wednesday the next day I work. Not sure if it was a good idea to leave all the empty cans and spitters in my car but I feel like if i can clean that shit out tomorrow and not go to the store and buy a can Im good.

Ive only have a couple cravings today, but right now I feel pretty good. Other than this nasty fog. I am out there right now, almost feel high. And my fucking xbox controller broke so I cant play games to distract myself, which is probably good because after i make a couple mistakes I'd end up angry and hating everyone and everything. But i spent 2 hours taking it apart and trying to fix it, so i guess that was some distraction.

The funny thing is this started because my cousin has been pushing me to quit for the last couple years, and I just kept pushing it off. I told him January first for good, not really meaning it, but for some reason stuck with it. I agreed to his bet of me paying him $5 for every can he finds because he wont find any. I wont have any.

Past quits ive tried, I almost expected to fail but this time im confident. No fucking around, this is for me and no one else.

EDIT: Just wanted to add this isnt some new years resolution. It just worked out to be today. I dont believe in that shit, you can change whatever you want, any day you want.
I dont know why I hate the New Years Resolutions but for some reason it irks me.

Going to be honest, Ive been here before and ghosted after a couple days, But this time im in it for real. I have support from a few family members, and my roomate, add you guys and Ill make it.

Thats enough rambling from me for now.
Glad to be here, And I promise to stick through until the end this time.

Ok Ice welcome to KTC. You should read as much as you can on here. It will get you familiar with how things work and it will occupy your mind and take your mind off dipping. You will be in the pre-HOF April 2017 quit group. Go there and post roll. That is a promise not to use nicotine of any kind for that day.

The two main principle of KTC are support and accountability. As you get to know others here be open to sharing your phone number with some of them. That is how we support each other and hold each other accountable.

Good luck on your quit with us in April!!

I have been quit for 10 days and relate to a lot of what you are posting (the bottles, self loathing, etc.). I hope to see you interact with us on the forum, it really is a great form of accountability. People can be dicks, but don't sweat it, it's just the internet.

Quitting chew is one of the hardest things that you (and all of us) will have to do in our lives, but it does get easier after the first few days. Just make sure to stay on here regularly in case nicotine tries to sneak up on you again.

Look forward to seeing you around!

After a can a day habit


This isn't a habit. It's a full blown psychological and chemical addiction. You need to be thinking of this way, because you need this mindset for the battle that lies ahead.

Glad you're quit. Post roll early and every day, and be a man of your word. Get involved.

You signed up in 2012 and have 20 posts, care to tell everyone what happened? You know the drill, you need to go back to your original group and let them know what happened.
