Day 1,606 of being nicotine free. Quitting dip is probably my greatest accomplishment. With the hold nicotine had on me after dipping for so many years, I honestly wasn’t sure I could actually quit. Once you sign up and by into the program of waking up and posting your promise to stay nicotine free just for the day and exchanging digits and getting to know a few fellow quitters, it is amazing how much easier is it to actually quit. We all failed on our own, why not try a different approach? Quitting with others really helped me. My quit became bigger than just me quit because I was a part of a team. You may not want to quit today. I understand how the addict brain works. But isn’t time to quit and stop doing something that will kill you? 

There isn’t a better day than today to start taking back control of your life. It does suck for a while. But quitting ODAAT - one day at a time, and letting the days add up, it doesn’t take too long before you start to see light at the end of the tunnel.

Day 1530 of being clean from nicotine. Today is also my son’s birthday. I give him much of the credit for me being quit today. After dipping for nearly 38 years, and multiple failed attempts at quitting, I once again announced that I was quitting dipping. My family just looked and me and then my son asked why he should believe me. He had heard the line many many times before. Said I needed to try quitting differently if I was hoping for a different result. How I kept trying to quit just wasn’t working. That conversation led to doing some googling and that’s when I found KTC. My son was correct. Quitting with KTC has led to a different result and has been easier than any other attempt. Posting my promise first thing daily to stay nicotine just for the day is something I can do. I don’t worry about tomorrow, next week, and definitely don’t worry about forever. I just promise not to have nicotine today. I can do anything for 1 day. However, it wasn’t always easy to make it though the day. That is were the sister/brotherhood comes to play. I made connections, and in some cases friendships, that when I needed accountability and support, I would text or call my network of quitters and they were always there to support me. I learned that quitting with others is soooooo much easier that quitting alone.

Day 1505. Just got home from the dentist and it dawned on me. Isn't it funny how I am not scared to go to the dentist anymore. In fact, I get compliments. If you are still deciding when to quit, because we both already know you need to quit, today is the day. Not next week, or December 1, or next year. Start saving your life today. If the cravings that come with quitting for a while are too much, how the hell are we going to handle chemo and radiation? It isn't a game anymore about do you want to quit, it is facing reality that you have to quit if you choose life. Quitting sucks for a while, and it does suck. But eventually you start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Quitting with others also makes it so muck easier. Quitting does take work but you can do it. There are zillions of fellow quitters here on KTC/Discord that will help you. Only thing left is for you to finally make the decision to quit.

Today is day 1432 of being clean. It is funny if you will just quit for one day and then repeat the routine the following day, the days sure do add up fast. Quitting does suck for a while, but that makes sense. How can you put a drug in your system for years and then your body not struggle when you remove it? However, the suck is soooo worth it in the long run. I can live my life without panicking if I have my next dip with me. Golfing, fishing, or hanging with family, I can live my life and focus on the things important to me, not dip.

I have recently lost a few friends. Life is short. Why continue to do something that will shorten it? Quit today and start to take you life back. The gift of freedom is so worth the relatively short period of suck. Time to make a decision.

Posting our promise is something we should do first thing everyday to protect our quit. It is not a process of just typing a number. It caries the same weight as if I knocked on your front door, looked you in the eye, and gave you my word I would not use nicotine day. Your level of integrity determines what happens next. Either staying quit or caving and there is never an excuse for caving.

You aren't on the site by accident. You know you need to quit but your addict brain is telling you not to pull the trigger yet. When is the right time? Quitting dip one day at a time is my proudest accomplishment. It is so much easier to do when you have others holding you accountable. Stop trying to quit the same old way that hasn’t worked for you. Take a different approach, so you can expect a different result this time.

1331 days. It is amazing how much better life is not being a slave to nicotine anymore. I still get the occasional reminder that  my old friend nicotine still wants be back. Funny thing is, i really don’t want dipping being a part of my life again. I will chew a piece of gum or put in a dip of the fake stuff if I really get cravings. But normally, I laugh the urge away. Things have been this way for a good period of time which amazes me. To think you can do an action, dipping, that could kill you for decades, but if you buy into the the program and quit with the help of KTC, the sisterhood, the brotherhood, and the resources the site offers, you can have total freedom, not to mention better health, in a relatively short period of time. I want lie. It sucks really bad for a while. But quitting with others makes it sooooooo much easier. Join us. Aren’t you with it?

Crazy - still had a dip dream after 1147 days of being quit. Amazing how part of us never lets go. We are and will always be an addict. Establish a routine that will keep you quit and never become complacent. Stick with the routine so you will always stay quit.
