Plusses always outweigh the minuses when it comes to quitting nicotine Jeff. You are killing it my friend. Every 'one day at a time' just keeps adding on the the previous ones and before you know it, the craves will subside and you won't think about dip all the time. It really does get better and better.
Chris speaks the truth. You will never regret quitting but you will always regret caving. Use those digits in tomes of need. We all have.Day 6:

5 weeks!! 'lift'
ODAAT really does work! This site works! The support and accountability I receive here works!
My cravings lessened considerably, like, rarely have them.
Everyday, I pledge to myself and my brothers and sisters of quit, is a day that I stomp that nic bitch's skull.
I am extremely grateful that I found KTC, the people here, and especially, MY BAD ASS FEBRUARY FREEBIRDS!
That is all for now...gotta go que up some beef!
Proud to be quit with you all TODAY!

60 + 1 days. (this is more for me than anyone :)) )@JeffH4257 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=18759) Keep kicking ass brother. Follow your routine and let those days add up ODAAT. Proud to quit with you today.
61 days taking it ODAAT. 61 days to take inventory of myself. 61 days of beating myself up. 61 days of mental gymnastics. 61 days of taking deep breaths. 61 days to remember what brought me here in the first place. 61 days to reflect on a lifestyle of ninja dipping. 61 days of reading damn near everything on KTC. 61 Days of kicking my own ass for not being a stronger man. 61 Days of apologizing to my wife. 61 days of forgiving myself. 61 days of being thankful.
61 days is just a beginning.
61 days isn't a special number...but it is +1 more than 60. I like to think that in 61 days I have made some bonds with some people here that are unbreakable. #AllMYFebruaryFreeBirdsForever @MNxEngineer (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=21) @FISHFLORIDA (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=7) (I see your numbers on my text, and I smile. and I think to myself...Fuck yeah! I want to have those numbers! Thankful for those numbers.)
They say, that it takes 10,000 hours of intensive practice to achieve mastery. I am 1,464 hours into my quit, and have a lifetime to go...but if I take it ODAAT, I can achieve anything I put my mind to.
As the lurch of the 70's creeps in (oh I can feel it, started around day 53 for me), I continually have a conversation with myself that
A) the craving is fleeting
B) I have a Bad Ass Accountability Group
C) There is no way I will even consider buying another can!
Here's to all the +1's today! PTBQWYT ODAAT QWTBOF

Day 75Hey bud, just saw this! I guess it just dawned on me that finding motivation was the purpose of my HoF post. It doesn't matter what that motivation is, get up and use it every day to survive your quit!
Just gonna leave this here.

Thanks @BrianG (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=225) for recommending E.T.
@Aggies94 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=18638) You are correct Kyle!! Find your why. I am sure the why will be fluid, ever changing. But whatever keeps us quit is what matters.Day 75Hey bud, just saw this! I guess it just dawned on me that finding motivation was the purpose of my HoF post.

Day 83
Woke up this morning feeling like shit.
I wonder why? Could it be that I was dipping all fucking night?
Chewed an entire can last night!!
in my dream, it was a dream
But it felt real. Every bone in my body hurts this morning, all because of the nightmare. That's it. It wasn't a dream, it was a nighmare.
The fog, oh the fog, how I loathe you.
Here's to happier Friday's in the future, because I am going to flush this one!

Congrats brother! Damn proud of you!
Damn, bud. 19 guests viewing the intros right now!! Surely they are jumping on soon????
Thanks for the shout out Jeff. 357 magnum is special to me as I remember going squirrel hunting with my dad and that was the gun he used. We were always amazed by his shots but he was a marksman in the Army. He also reloaded his own so we were fascinated as little boys by that. I haven’t seen that gun in 35 years and haven’t seen my dad in almost a year thanks to this genocide from china.@Thefranks5 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=17642)
Keep doing what you are doing here on KTC and it is nice to see new people step up and help. You have a special talent and I am so glad to see you utilize it here. We need more people to be involved and not just post and ghost. PTBQWYT
Day 110
If you happen to stumble across this, it isn't a fluke. I came across KTC in my search to quit dip.
What has happened is absolutely amazing.
I have made connections on here with folks who I am damn proud to call friends.
I don't have all the answers, but what I do have is a positive outlet for quitting that shit in your lip.
Post your promise each morning. Simple concept. Difficult to execute at times.
When I post my promise to my brothers and sisters of quit, it makes it fucking impossible for me to break my word.
My dad used to say that even if you don't have 2 nickels to rub together, what you do have is your word, and your word is invaluable.
I am fucking quit today, and never going back to being a slave to the can.
I could never do it alone.
Thanks to my KTC family.

Day 138I love having those conversations with people out of the blue now. The addict speak is strong and unrelenting. Thanks Jeff for stepping up and all you do.
So I just got home from the C-store. Needed a single can of beer for my chili.
Guy in front of me is buying typical C-store shit when he asks for a can of Copenhagen WinterGreen Long Cut. That was my preference of poision.
Anyway, I strike up small talk with the guy...eventually getting to the point of, "You know that shits gonna kill you?"
He agreed that it would, indeed, kill him one day, but not today.
He did say that he's thought of quitting many times. I asked him, "what's stopping you from quitting?" Says he will, "eventually quit dipping one day"
Isn't that just about par for the course for an addict. The lies we told ourselves to make us feel better about continuing our addiction.
I am here quitting with all of you today, ODAAT!
-Jeff
Day 138These kinds of interactions will continue to pile up for you and they never stop being meaningful and adding another stone to your foundation. Thanks for sharing your story. A quote you might like on the power of stories.....
