Welcome. Congrats on making it this far on your own. IÂ’d encourage you to join the June quit group. The daily promise we make in our quit groups can be the difference between a cave and another day quit.

Coming up on 3 years.
@Makimi (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=14354) you have made it this far by yourself, which is really admirable. But why post today if you don’t need the accountability and brotherhood of this forum? Perhaps this huge milestone is not being acknowledged by your friends, family, etc; yet you know people here will understand the struggle and offer kudos to you. It’s never too late to become active here. You would be in the June 2018 group. I have no doubt that a good dude by the name of @kodiakdeath (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=265) would welcome you to that group if you became active and posted roll daily.

If you want in, come on in. If you think a post every 2 years will do, please go troll somewhere else.

Honestly not trolling. A buddy of mine is trying to start quitting and I referred him to this page. I’m not going to start doing daily post because I don’t want to think about the fact that I’m not dipping everyday. I loved my Copenhagen and still do. I get warm in my chest and my mouth waters when I talk about it. I dipped for 16 years. Started when I was 18 and ended up over a can a day at 22 on my first of 3 tours in Iraq.

Anyhow, I’ll just leave this page be. I completely forgot about it before inviting a friend a over. I have no desire to converse with someone like you.

Wow!  Just wow man.  For newbs like myself, you could have been a positive influence.  But your arrogance.  SMH.

In no way was my reply meant to be arrogant. It most likely came across that way, but that wasn’t the intent. When I quit almost 3 years ago. I just put in a dip. I was about an hour away from going home from work. ( I work out in the west Texas oil fields and spend 80% of my day in my truck. ) I bought two cans to compliment my opened and almost empty two cans from the previous day. I was always terrified of getting home and being out. Anyhow I put one in and it didn’t taste good to me. I was just done with it. I have looked up tons of pictures, I did all kinds of things in the past to try to influence myself to quit. Nothing ever bothered me. But this day was different. I was just done. I made my mind up and it was a rough week. Luckily my x wife was going out of town the next day for 4 or so days. It was a breeze. I think you have to do that. You have to make your mind up that you are done. I know that if I ever put in another pinch it’s game over and I’ll probably never quit again. I work closet around people that dip every day all day. I can smell it, I even grab their cans and smell it. Like I said. I love the stuff. But I made my mind up and I am done with it.

Someone like me is probably a lot more similar to someone like you than you would care to find out. We are both addicts. Best of luck to you.

You sir are a walking contradiction.  You sniff the cans of your daily buddies at work, but can't post daily roll here because it reminds you how bad you want to dip?

Dude, that's fucking bonkers to me.

Whatever, good luck

Also, if you were active here in your quit, you would know that your buddy trying to quit is not a strategy.  You either quit or you don't.  So refer him here for what purpose? To remind him daily of his love of cope?

KTC is not the only way to escape addiction to tobacco, but it is the only way that works for me and many like me. Coming by and discussing how awesome you are doesn't make me think you got it figured out, it makes me feel like you come to gloat to people who are struggling and that makes you kind of a bad person in my mind. So I would ask for the benefit of people who don't have it all figured out like you to take your business elsewhere. Here we quit by posting daily our promise to one another. We aren't interested in any quit theories you are selling. I hope your buddy finds here what works for us and it works for him.

When you fail in your quit, as I know you will, then maybe you can stop and think about why we do what we do and why it works. Maybe even stop by and give it a shot. Otherwise, please move along.

It’s ok guys. I’ll be fine. Y’all just keep affirming the exact reasons why I didn’t participate in this forum. Y’all keep on attacking people that have a different point of view. Everyone of the replies have had just as much arrogance as any of mine.

Obviously I don’t know the steps because I didn’t participate in them. I quit 40 something days prior to even finding this forum. I have literally spent more time replying to you than I have anything else on this page.

I don’t sniff cans daily, occasionally when I am around someone who has a can, I smell it. It’s a great smell. I also smell candles often too. I like smells.

I could come here and post daily and it wouldn’t matter with my quitting. But what’s the point. My point was I did just fine quitting my way. I had dreams and cravings and all kinds of things. I’m ok. I will continue to be ok

Now you are attacking me because I refereed someone to this page, who has recently started talking in passing about wanting to quit. I know the strategy and mind set of you quit or don’t. In one of my previous post I said I did just that and I was completely ready for it. I looked in the mirror looked at my orange waffled cheek in my mouth and took it right out.

It’s ok

Never posted for accolades. Apparently the only way to quit, according to this group, is to follow the step by step format...... I looked up my original post and just thought I would submit an update. I didn’t go searching out anyone else’s and start posting shit on theirs.

@Makimi (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=14354)

 'libs2'  'facepalm''

You don't quite get it my friend.  We are all happy that you are still quit. However, your message may push a lurker into thinking they can put their quit off or that they can do it without help.  Most that visit this site have been there, tried that, and FAILED.  Myself included.  Multiple times.  If I saw your post on the day that I found the site, it may have been the out that I was looking for.  An addict's brain is always looking for a way out.

Seems to me that the only reason you have to post your 3 year mark is to push it in our face.  We are happy for you but what affect do you think that message may have on potential quitters?  Do you think your ability to quit on your own is the rule or the exception?

Regardless of how you feel about individual members or comments here, this place exists to help people recover from a debilitating addiction. Your comments do nothing but undermine that process.  Join, post roll, and pay it back...help others walk the path you have. 

OR GTFO. 

If you can't see that your comments are detrimental to the mission of this site, you are more than arrogant, you are sadistic. 

PS- tell your buddy to look me up when he decides to quit.  My phone number is ready for him to have and I look forward to helping him navigate a difficult time.

Look, honestly I just submitted an update while I was looking around. I wasn’t looking for help, nor was I looking for attention. It was simply an update on a post nearly 3 years ago. Everyone of you that has replied to my post has in some way has made disparaging remarks towards my post. Did I participate the way the forum was designed? No, I didn’t.  It’s ok. Y’all keep on doing your thing and I’ll keep on doing mine. Some of y’all need to search out other support groups as well for the very obvious other problems you have in addition to smokeless tobacco.

Don't really understand the reason for  original post, unless you need some validation.  Which is pretty sad.....I'm sorry that you have that hole in you life.

Maybe a trip to the dog pound would help?  Bet there are hundreds of souls that will love you up there...you can even bring one home!  (And it PROBABLY won't judge you for making a random post, on a random page, that you clearly don't need, using your own words.

But; Sure am proud of my brothers @Sajax (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=10756) @nick-Otine Free (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=19005) @JeffH4257 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=18759).....Nice job sniffing out the pathetic bullshit.  Quit on!

Awesome!  Now hunt down @Bsarno (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=674) and tell him your secret.  This site doesn't work for him either, but he never stays quit.
