@JeffH4257 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=18759) - we've been getting a TON of rain here (in Cleveland). Have to get outside to get all my shit down. Not sure I'll be able to walk through my back yard without sinking into my ankles!

Sorry Chewie about changing the subject. My question is if you have bad reflux issues after quitting and were able to get it under control but then got rona did your reflux stay down or did it flare up with a vengeance. I was doing real well and then rona showed up and the reflux is as bad now as it was 6 months ago. I have talked to a few other quitters and they had the same issue. Just was curious if this a another side effect of this goofy virus that we were blessed with, thanks.

Have you tried omeprozale? I take it every other day, and it controls my acid reflux like a champ. My dr. prescribed it, but you can get it OTC.

I have been fighting with myself about taking anything as I never have except the 30 plus years of self medication with tobacco. I have LPR "silent reflux" and it came back with the rona which was weird but its very painful when its bad and takes weeks to heal. I need to just suck it and get some OTC even if its the plain label low dose, thanks.

Seriously has helped me with my reflux. My nephew has permanent scarring of his esophagus from his reflux. I know just how painful it can be. Let me know if you try it, and how it's working for you.

I will be picking up some tomorrow. After discussing it with another awesome quitter who is a nurse I just need to step up and do it. Amazing how we covered up so much with our addiction to have it show when we quit.

NEVER feel bad about changing the topic @Thefranks5 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=17642) - that's why these boards are here!
I've got a ton of experience with reflux, but can't speak on the rona aspect. Looks like you've gotten some good advice from others. Hope you get some relief soon.

My 16 year old son told me today that all his summertime buddies are now vapors. He looked at me and said "Don't worry dad I don't hang around them no more. Plus that would screw up my lungs and I love to play soccer too much to start that". Proud dad moment and almost had me tearing up. I wish more kids would just listen but they think that vaping makes them a cool kid. Shit I thought chewing made me a cool kid so nothing has changed. Praying that he keeps his word and tells others how dumb they are.

I'm in the same boat @MNxEngineer (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=21) - even as a Hoosier, I'll be rooting for the rival Buckeyes but I think it's a long shot.
That said, look what happened with my Browns last night!

I am a Bison and loved being a Bison football fan when they won five-consecutive NCAA Division I FCS National Championships between 2011 and 2015 as well as three more consecutively between 2017 and 2019. I don't deny being a fan of a dominate sports team is fun. It's just super boring from everyone else's perspective. lol

Dumb question, mostly because i can't figure out the pattern.
Under each poster, there is a series of dots. They are green, yellow, or Red. Seems like most of the Sr. guys have 5. But I have seen as many as 7. Must be some seniority thing.
Is it posts? Time that you have been a member?
What Do the colors mean? That I can't make ANY sense out of.
Inquiring minds want to know! :)

Colors are for the mods (green), conductors (blue) and admins (red).

@JeffH4257 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=18759) if you turn your phone sideways, you may be surprised at all the info you can see that is not normally present when held upright
@69franx (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=26) Funny...one of my quit buddies @Aggies94 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=18638) just mentioned the same thing to me re: the SSOA.

Dumb question, mostly because i can't figure out the pattern.
Under each poster, there is a series of dots. They are green, yellow, or Red. Seems like most of the Sr. guys have 5. But I have seen as many as 7. Must be some seniority thing.
Is it posts? Time that you have been a member?
What Do the colors mean? That I can't make ANY sense out of.
Inquiring minds want to know! :)
Yep... it's based on post counts. Newbie (0 posts) up to Master of Quit (20,000 posts) and a bunch in between.
Colors are for the mods (green), conductors (blue) and admins (red).
Where are they?

Hi,
Looking for clarification on what quitting can do to our mental health. I’m seeking help, but it’d be extremely helpful to chat with someone who has experience with a possible different mental state, after quitting. I hope that makes sense. Thanks!

@stoneman469 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=19153)
After the first 72 hours into the quit when all the nicotine has left your body, the brain games begin. Your brain has to undo years of working while under the influence of nicotine. This can cause anxiety, malaise, headaches, constipation, pain, the list goes on. What specific issues are you having? I'm going to PM you my number.

Good Morning,
I've been informed that posting a separate post may garner more support, so here goes.. Is anyone willing to share their experience with medicines and the mental game of withdrawal? I have an appointment with an addictions psychiatrist in a week, trying to gather real world smokeless tobacco experience. Anything would be helpful. Thank you.

@stoneman469 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=19153) -I am on 30mg of Lexapro because of the anxiety of quitting and nicotine withdrawal, more like borderline psychosis(in my case anyway). There is an article on here about what this stuff can do to you. Nicotine causes disruptions in your serotonin levels by way of nicotine receptors. Nicotine also can interfere with insulin resistance. Get help if you need it there is no shame in it, I did. It gets a lot better with time.

Hey brother. What is going on with the site? Im still quit with swarmin hornets of 2016, but I can’t figure out the new site. I’m struggling a bit and still chew the lip...fucking pitiful I know. But sometimes it feels like falling back into the comfort of a big fat lip seems good.

@stoneman469 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=19153) - Sadly, the search function here on the forums leaves a little bit to be desired... with so many records, members, posts, etc. a general 'search' tends to throw that error. @Samrs (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=8) can give you a more technical answer if you're interested.
That said, this is a great place to ask a question... even if it's rehashing old material, it gives us another opportunity to explore the topic and you never know who's thinking about doing the same search you are and bringing it back to the surface is helpful.

Question / Reflection of the Day: What was the biggest or craziest lie your addict brain had you believe?
I'll start. For me, anyone who bought dip in logs or cigarettes in cartons was "more addicted" than me who only ever purchased one can at a time. I could stop whenever I wanted but them?? They were truly addicts.

Many of my baseball buddies dipped, and had dipped for many years. I told myself, shit, they've all chewed way longer than me, and they're just fine. I have nothing to worry about.
That, and never looking at pictures of what happens to people who lose part of their face from chewing tobacco. I lied to myself on the daily. Never happen to me.
81 days quit! NAFAR

That I could never quit as long as my SigO was still smoking. I figured that we would have to quit together if either stood a chance. Can you imagine the odds of two addicted people deciding to quit at the same time? What odds would that be - a million to one? Guess that way my addict brain knew it was safe from me doing something really hard like quitting.
And yes, I did quit alone and, sadly, my SigO is still smoking almost 5 years later. It can be done.

That if I just cut back it is not so bad. "I use to chew one can a day now I go through a can every two days." That prolonged my quit for nearly another year.
Either shit or get . . . Now I realized there is no other choice.

I used to own a 1989 Toyota Pickup. I used it as a spitter. The floors were plastic and had a drain plug. Once on a road trip, I had no spitter so I would spit on the floor of the passenger side. Those corners could be a challenge....

I'm bummed I can't really try any of these fake products anymore. It's not because I'm scared it will lead back to the real thing. Rather, it's because my mouth has healed to a point where using any of the fake products actually creates discomfort now. I supposed it's a good problem to have!

Same here. I thought it was better to retrain my mind to not expect/want/need to have something in my lip for me to be comfortable. Biggest reasons for this is 1. The fake stuff is pretty damn expensive and 2. While they contain no carcinogens like the real stuff, I would think anything you hold in a spot in your mouth for extended periods of time are probably not good.

I think you're both right... if you don't need the fake stuff and your mouth has healed to the point where it's irritating to use... don't use it! Agreed... great "problem" to have!

Wish I had that issue. My stupid brain still does not want to work without something jammed in that lip. Actually was off fake for a month but I was so stressed out all the time that I was starting to scare myself. No desire for tobacco but will be so glad to get thru the lip deal. Day 341 today and getting better all around except that above. KTC is awesome and is the reason I am still quit. That and thw good Lord above. Thanks Chewie for starting an awesome website for all the addicts like me.

Question of the Day: What was the weirdest thing you used as a spitter?
When I was in high school, I used to sit in the back during shop class near this giant heater and would spit in the vents when the teacher wasn't looking. In the winter-time when that thing would kick on, the smell was freaking terrible...

Love it when people don't have the balls to quit and then blame it on something completely lame like not being able to navigate a simple internet forum.
Hell or high water we all figured out how to make sure our supply of a cancerous weed never ran out. But it's too difficult to take 15 minutes to learn out to click a few buttons and make a daily promise. Got it.

Into it? You should re-set that thinking. Staying quit should be priorty one in your life. Because we are addicts. Nicotine is our drug of choice. Quitting isn't something your into, like guitar, or music, or the party scene, which can be fleeting. It's life and death.
Glad you are staying the course.
Go post roll with your May 2021 group.
Reach out to some of those guys. Get involved here.

OE.X ENERGY and OE.X ENERGY + CBD Product Review
https://www.killthecan.org/oe-x-energy-and-oe-x-energy-cbd-product-review/

I wish i found this site beforehand. It gives honest withdrawal depictions. Everywhere else is just sugarcoated nonsense. I quit on several occasions, been dipping for close to 12 years now. I started back in college. I usually get to about the 3-4 month mark and cave on a crave. I am on Day 3 of quitting. I have the irritability, dream like perception. I find the words to describe the feeling almost non existent. Like your mind takes a mental snapshot, and feels like it is running to catch up to your body. And the amount of coffee I need is absurd. I mean I drank a whole pot on Days 1 & 2. And i feel like i could sleep the day away. I would never ever recommend dipping to anyone.
My wife doesnt seem to understand the magnitude of these feelings. She equates it to when she quit smoking. I smoked too, and quite with pretty much no issue. I mean comparing the two, i feel like cigarette withdrawals is child's play when it come to dip.

Glad you found us @rawright (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=19478) and go on over and post up in June 2021. Do it early so that your promise sticks and build a network of quitters. Swap digits as that will help more then you think having help a finger punch away. Quitting chew is much harder then smoking as I tell everybody that a dip in the lip is like having an intravenous drip all the time. We are here to help and you will find (unfortunately) that plenty of spouses have no clue what it is like or just don't support the way we need it. That is why you get digits and if you want mine let me know in a pm. Welcome aboard and I quit with you everyday.

Okay, Forum question. I know it's SOMETHING on my side....hoping somebody has had a similar problem.
I completely loose the heart, allowing me to like a post. Using current Chrome, on a updated Win10 machine. If I use my work machine, which has the SAME CHROME, and SAME version of Win10....it's perfect.
I've cleared Cache. I've cleared history. I've cleared cookies. I did all at the same time. Still missing. Anybody had this, and can tell me WTF i'm missing?

No, it's all of them. It's goofy. Same page, but in Edge. No problem. Same page on my phone, no problem. Same page on my work laptop that has the same chrome browser, on the same OS, no problem.
It's just inconvenient, because i normally use my personal laptop with chrome. I can usually figure stuff out like this, and I just cant.
Now to make your head really hurt. If i go to a page on my phone, and 'like' it......then it DOES show me 'unlike' on my laptop. If i click 'unlike', it goes away forever. Weird.
At any rate, I know it's on my side, and thought I would ask....just in case someone had the same problem, and figured it out, before me.

So what creative ways have y'all dealt with one of those ninja cravings that jumps up from out of nowhere and punches you in the mouth? Wife caught me with a fat lip in the kitchen and pulled a health and welfare on me. To her shock and surprise, what she found was I had jammed a handful of sliced pickles in my lip to curb the urge. Lol, it actually worked pretty good.

Hahaha!!! That's a new one for me...freaking pickles!! Hey, whatever works, dude! Personally, Mentos cinnamon gum and Teaza cinnamon tea pouches are my go-tos to satisfy my oral fixation. In the beginning, I used fake dips but I don't need them anymore.

No worries @Thefranks5 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=17642) - we're working through some things. If I had to guess it will be back (as it's a great way to get people into chat) but we're still working through some bugs.

Ok thanks for letting us know. I see a few fussed in wildcard section under “get your bitch on” so I wonder if we should do a poll for if it should stay or not. I personally have issues with it as it just makes one more thing for me to have to work around. Thanks again though for responding.

A Renegade brother posted earlier this week that he was stepping away from KTC now that he'd hit his one year milestone. He said he'd set and reached a goal, which is great, but was it the right decision?
The June 2020 Renegades of Quit reached a high of 26 members at one time, but now we are down to 9, and we've been together just over a year. One year. One year is an achievement; I will never cheapen that. For a hardcore dipper, hell, ONE DAY is an achievement. But in the grand scheme of things, 365 days certainly doesn't signify any sort of "cure" or justification for walking away from this site or this brother/sisterhood. To me, that's the wrong kind of quitter.
I was one of the first Renegades of June 2020. I quit four days after the quit month opened, so I've seen many quitters come, stay, and go. Most caved. A couple looked hard enough and found some problem to bitch about, but they weren't ever really part of the group. Others thought they'd gotten what they needed, whether it happened at 100 days or 365 days. More may leave in the future. Who knows. You're grown men and women, and you've got to do what you think is right for you; but is it? When you're not making that daily promise to your brothers and sisters in quit, who are you making it to, or are you even making it? Who's holding you accountable? When you put that very first dip in, who was there to say "That shit's gonna kill you. Don't do it"? Did you tell that to yourself? Hell no, you didn't, even though you knew it. So, are you really accountable for yourself now?
Some say that posting is a daily reminder of their problem, and if they didn't have to post, they wouldn't even think about dipping/tobacco anymore. What the fuck ever. It's SUPPOSED TO BE A REMINDER. It's supposed to remind you of all the money you spent on dip, of all the times you missed something because you were sneaking a dip, of all the missed kisses from your significant other or kids, of every warning label on a can of dip or a pack of smokes, OF THE FUCKING WORD YOU GIVE TO YOUR FELLOW QUITTERS EVERY DAY TO NOT DIP.
Most quitters spend very little time on the KTC site. They post and ghost. Yes, they're WUPPing each day like good little quitters. They're taking the MINIMUM TIME it takes to post a name and quit day count, and they they're out until the next 24 hour cycle rolls around. You know, though, when a quitter first gets here, that's damn plenty. 390 days ago, that's about all I could muster. It's different now, however. I fuel my quit by helping others fuel theirs. PAY IT FORWARD. When you really think about it, it's the second greatest commandment: LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR. Somebody helped you stay quit. Now it's your turn to do the same. You wanted someone to help you. Now, help someone else.
You came here to help yourself. You were told, "You've got to do this for you. Don't quit for your wife/kids/husband/parents/best friend/whatever. This has to be about you." That is all so very true. Now, though, you can grow; you can reach out and help a new quitter just like somebody helped you. It CAN be about somebody else.

A Renegade brother posted earlier this week that he was stepping away from KTC now that he'd hit his one year milestone. He said he'd set and reached a goal, which is great, but was it the right decision?
The June 2020 Renegades of Quit reached a high of 26 members at one time, but now we are down to 9, and we've been together just over a year. One year. One year is an achievement; I will never cheapen that. For a hardcore dipper, hell, ONE DAY is an achievement. But in the grand scheme of things, 365 days certainly doesn't signify any sort of "cure" or justification for walking away from this site or this brother/sisterhood. To me, that's the wrong kind of quitter.
I was one of the first Renegades of June 2020. I quit four days after the quit month opened, so I've seen many quitters come, stay, and go. Most caved. A couple looked hard enough and found some problem to bitch about, but they weren't ever really part of the group. Others thought they'd gotten what they needed, whether it happened at 100 days or 365 days. More may leave in the future. Who knows. You're grown men and women, and you've got to do what you think is right for you; but is it? When you're not making that daily promise to your brothers and sisters in quit, who are you making it to, or are you even making it? Who's holding you accountable? When you put that very first dip in, who was there to say "That shit's gonna kill you. Don't do it"? Did you tell that to yourself? Hell no, you didn't, even though you knew it. So, are you really accountable for yourself now?
Some say that posting is a daily reminder of their problem, and if they didn't have to post, they wouldn't even think about dipping/tobacco anymore. What the fuck ever. It's SUPPOSED TO BE A REMINDER. It's supposed to remind you of all the money you spent on dip, of all the times you missed something because you were sneaking a dip, of all the missed kisses from your significant other or kids, of every warning label on a can of dip or a pack of smokes, OF THE FUCKING WORD YOU GIVE TO YOUR FELLOW QUITTERS EVERY DAY TO NOT DIP.
Most quitters spend very little time on the KTC site. They post and ghost. Yes, they're WUPPing each day like good little quitters. They're taking the MINIMUM TIME it takes to post a name and quit day count, and they they're out until the next 24 hour cycle rolls around. You know, though, when a quitter first gets here, that's damn plenty. 390 days ago, that's about all I could muster. It's different now, however. I fuel my quit by helping others fuel theirs. PAY IT FORWARD. When you really think about it, it's the second greatest commandment: LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR. Somebody helped you stay quit. Now it's your turn to do the same. You wanted someone to help you. Now, help someone else.
You came here to help yourself. You were told, "You've got to do this for you. Don't quit for your wife/kids/husband/parents/best friend/whatever. This has to be about you." That is all so very true. Now, though, you can grow; you can reach out and help a new quitter just like somebody helped you. It CAN be about somebody else.

Goals are important. The basis of ODAAT is, in itself, a goal. But goals should be used to help fuel our quits and not a means of terminating something that has a proven track record of success.

One of the frustrating things about life and is that we have to accept that we can't control others. Matt, I respect your leadership and support of other Renegades and new quitters on the site. Its sad when a brother or sister makes a decision to leave, but we can't control that, what we can do is focus on helping new quitters who are still here and want to be here or any quitter old or new that is struggling. PTQWY you all today.

Happy April quitters!

Here I am today at 400 days quit. The 4th Floor. All I can say is, God answers prayers.
The day I quit, I asked God to take my addiction, my want, my craving, to heal my body and my mind. And He did. Now He did let the devil have me for a little while, but only because He loved me and knew what I needed to happen to make it stick. I'm sure I'm one of my Shepherd's more stubborn sheep.
I've seen many quitters post statements like "I loved dipping" or "I loved the feeling of dip in my lip." Honestly, I was probably one of them. Here's what I've realized in 400 days, though. Here's what I didn't love, but what I gave up.
I didn't love spending $50 a week on dip. Yet I let it control how I spent our money.
I didn't love not kissing my wife because I had a dip in. Yet I let it control when I got to kiss my wife.
I didn't love the looks I got from people when I had to spit in public or they saw a gross spit cup/can/bottle. Yet I let it control the impression I made on people.
I didn't love the disapproving looks and lectures from my dentist. Yet I let it control my guilt.
I didn't love the idea of getting cancer. Yet I let it control my health.
Nicotine surely didn't love me, either. What it loved was the CONTROL I gave over to it. Nic didn't take it. No, I gave it, and I kept giving it.
Until 400 days ago. Then I took it back, and I'm still taking it back ODAAT. That, I do love.

Just officially started my quit today at 9AM PCT. I have been utilizing chewing tobacco since i was of the age of 15 (I am now 31). Looking forward to being a part of the community here. Also going to curb my drinking as it has been a crutch for me for a long time. The best time to start is now! Very excited!

@golfmaniac12 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=19683), welcome to KTC. Click this link (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=16984.0) to post your first promise in the July 2021 quit group, and then keep that promise not to use any form of nicotine for the next 24 hours. Always remember that this is a cold turkey site. If you keep that promise, come back tomorrow and post your Day 2 promise. You'll catch on, brother, and if you screw something up in the process, don't sweat it. Someone will fix it and tell you how to do it.
We work ODAAT around here; that's One Day At A Time. There's no need to worry about tomorrow's quit. Today is hard enough. Do yourself a favor and READ, READ, READ. This site is a fount of knowledge and experience from new and vet quitters alike. No two quits are quite the same, but we've all been right where you are today. Get in July 2021 and start connecting with the three quitters already there.
It's also great that you're wanting to curb your drinking. Don't bite off more than you can chew at one time, though. There are forums at KTC for those who are stopping/slowing down the alcohol consumption, too. You may find one of those forums helpful, too. Here is the link (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=229.0). These non-dipping groups are in the "Getting My Act Together" section of the forums.
That's enough for now, buddy. If you have questions, just post them to your group page or right here. You can also send me or any quitter private messages. That's the only place we trade digits, by the way. Never post your phone number on the forums. If you want my digits, just send me a PM with yours. And if you want more people to see your post, copy it over to the Introductions forum here (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?board=29.0).
Proud To Be Quit With You

@golfmaniac12 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=19683) Welcome to the group man! I’m only a day ahead of you so we’re right there. My biggest advice that’s gotten me through the past 2 days is being ready for whatever your triggers may be. I have my sunflower seeds on stand by. I drive a lot and every time I get behind the wheel it hits me like a ton of bricks. I even go to reach for my can before realizing it’s not there to reach for. But you have to remember, the strong urge and craving will pass. And POST on here! The feedback from these guys on here is unbelievable. They will push you and make you want to keep going if nothing else can. Looking forward to doing this quit with you brother!

Thanks Brett! I have the same cravings as you. Getting behind the wheel without one will be tough but there are alternatives out there to assist in getting us through. This community is great and I have already received a ton of support. If anybody wants my number for support, just private message. Let's get after it and enjoy a better life.

I am on day 3, and let me tell ya, this is by far the hardest day for me. Days 1 and 2 were rough, but today has just been a constant strong craving to have a dip. Feel like the nic bitch is trying everything in her power to hold on on this last day. Anybody else have an ok first 2 days of quit, and then get hit with a train on the 3rd day?

Yes, you are in the suck my friend. My day 3 was awful as well, cravings were unrelenting! Pound water, water, and then some water. Take a walk. Go for a jog. Get moving. Exercise in any form is better than nothing.
Sunflower seeds helped me too!
You are in the last throws of withdrawal from a serious chemical. It's gonna suck, until it doesn't.
I am holding the line with you brother.

"The best time to quit nicotine was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." ~ Heisenberg’s sig
discuss...
Man if I had quit 20 years ago I'd be much happier today...I guess 20 years from today me will be much happier than I am now.
If I had quit 20 years ago....hmmm...well for one thing, I would never have met all the Bad Ass MoFos of quit here at KTC! In my 150 days here I have made many great connections. But it is an interesting and thought provoking question.
Wait a minute, who the fuck am I kidding. I couldn't quit on my own at any time in the past...so I think this is a trick question.

Whelp, got my first hot flash. It started in my arm pits and went to my chest, thought I was going to have a heart attack.
Currently at 25% of my old nicotine load.
Haven’t joined the actual quitting forums since I’m not nicotine free yet. Full quit date is coming on up.
I appreciate all the support here. I’m stressed to the max, anxiety, & good ol brain fog
Thanks for the talk on the web site as well

1st bit of advice, that you'll find from everyone here....quit. 25% of whatever you were at, isn't quit. I'm not a doctor, but i think your fucking with your body MORE by changing dose drastically, but still giving it some nicotine.
Perspective: i was a chewer for 30+ years. Over a tin A DAY. NEVER spit. NEVER. Odds are pretty good my 100% dose was more than your 100% dose...and a can guarantee you I'd still be chewing if i tried anything besides just fucking being done with it.
My 2c. (Your way might work....but the KTC way DOES work)

Dude is making it worse on himself. Withdrawals by weaning AND still poisoning himself with nicotine.
Cold turkey man; it's the only way to go.

@Findin12 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=19737), dude just lay the shit down cold. Flush it and walk the hell away. You are NOT doing yourself any favors by trying to wean yourself off of it. It's not a medication, man; it's poison. The can may as well have a skull and crossbones on it. You made it this far; now make it one more step. BE DONE.

Anyone else used their quit to leap off into an even more healthy life?
I'm waiting till my HOF day before I take any more major health leaps, but I'm curious what you guys did, how long you waited, why you did it.

dont wait on anything in life do it now! yes addict speak is a thing, but so is procrastination. i was already getting into weight training but with my quit i doubled down. Days after my quit day i signed up for a spartan endurance race for June. started rewiring my brain and bought philosophy books. spring boarded into podcasts and motivational speeches every morning of my quit that i still do at day 112. you got this man . just remember time waits for no man! GET IT i support you and know anybody can break past those mental barriers ! Also in the pursuit in distracts your mind from nicotine because you are reinventing yourself so its a win win.

Totally. You see it all the time here. It is like once you realized that you can do what you previously thought you could NEVER do - which is quit tobacco - then it is like the brain thinks - well, damn, what other superhuman strengths do I have? How else can I make my life better? Think of quitting as the start of a great journey.

The tools acquired here can be extrapolated out to other demons/addictions in our lives. One day at a time (ODAAT) can be applied to a lot more than just quitting nicotine.
A lot of people here have taken steps to remove other things from their lives like alcohol and caffeine in addition to creating a more healthy lifestyle through diet changes and/or exercise. There are tons of threads in the Non-Dipping Discussion section (within Wildcard and Getting My Act Together) that pertain to each of these areas of you are interested.

Well, I couldn't shake the crave, so i started getting fresh air, when the nic bitch would start playing. That ended up being some really long walks....Couple miles. That turned into 3-5 miles. That turned into 'lets run'. That turned into 5K and 10K's, just for the exercise. Now I'm pissed if I cant do a 5K in less than a half hour.
People go WAY faster. But I'm 52, and I don't think many 52 year old's can even do 3.1 miles, let alone in less than a half hour
So, somehow, kicking chewing tobacco turned me into a runner. :)

52 here and I can do the 3.1, but at a walking pace, about 50 minutes. My goal is to be able to do a sub 30 5k by end of the year.

Nice job guys!
Once I quit, I began to think about other things I consumed that weren't healthy and that were also addictions that needed to be addressed. Except as a mixer (7up), I haven't had a soda for about 4 years. And that is a big deal because I drank so many diet Cokes in a day - I really couldn't imagine scaling back let alone giving it up. Now I don't miss them at all. I also have dramatically cut back my caffeine consumption - I used to overdo coffee - now I have one cup a day - maybe another half cup. So with 0 Dt. Coke and far less coffee, my caffeine intake has been drastically reduced. I have also cut back on sugar - it is a struggle still sometimes - but I use Stevia now as my main added-sugar substitute. I still have a ways to go - diet, exercise, etc., but I now see everything as bad brain patterns, bad wiring, that can be undone and rewired in time. And I know that if I just plow through, ODAAT, at some point my brain will rewire and won't scream out for these substances anymore.
P.S. Now you all are inspiring me to get my butt in shape again! :-)

52 here and I can do the 3.1, but at a walking pace, about 50 minutes. My goal is to be able to do a sub 30 5k by end of the year.
Nice job guys!
Once I quit, I began to think about other things I consumed that weren't healthy and that were also addictions that needed to be addressed. Except as a mixer (7up), I haven't had a soda for about 4 years. And that is a big deal because I drank so many diet Cokes in a day - I really couldn't imagine scaling back let alone giving it up. Now I don't miss them at all. I also have dramatically cut back my caffeine consumption - I used to overdo coffee - now I have one cup a day - maybe another half cup. So with 0 Dt. Coke and far less coffee, my caffeine intake has been drastically reduced. I have also cut back on sugar - it is a struggle still sometimes - but I use Stevia now as my main added-sugar substitute. I still have a ways to go - diet, exercise, etc., but I now see everything as bad brain patterns, bad wiring, that can be undone and rewired in time. And I know that if I just plow through, ODAAT, at some point my brain will rewire and won't scream out for these substances anymore.
P.S. Now you all are inspiring me to get my butt in shape again! :-)

Anyone can quit. You just need to be ready to quit and willing to quit. Sometimes it takes ready and willing to intersect. 8)

True story.
At this point, I get REALLY grumpy when someone says they 'can't quit'.
That's horse shit. You're right @Stranger999 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=51) - anyone CAN quit... they just need to make that decision.

Anyone know of any quitters in the Winnipeg area who would like some Jake's pouches - not a fan. Not looking to sell them but willing to mail/drop off in the city or even province of MB
29 Watermelon
19 Lemondae
9 Butterscotch
Probably should have started with sample packs...

@bubblehed668 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1864) what's the deal with these poppers? https://www.killthecan.org/bubblehed668-grilling-up-some-freedom/
I always do my poppers with cream cheese/tabasco/cheddar cheese stuffing and then wrap them in bacon before smoking a few hours. I can't tell what's under those sausages or what type of sausages those are.
Anyone else got a go-to recipe for jalapeno poppers?

That is a small white onion, cream cheese & turbinado sugar blended in a food processor and piped into the peppers. The sausage is a cheddar smokie laid on top then wrapped in bacon.
Somewhere in the deep dark recesses of KTC there was an area for recipes and it was in there called ABT's (Atomic Buffalo Turds). I can send it to you if you'd like, let me know.

Thefranks5 and Dbrown83 got together recently in Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania. Thefranks5 had this to say: “Thefranks5 (Doug, 499 days quit) and Dbrown83 (Dave, 281 days quit) meeting up in Mifflinburg, Pa to celebrate our quits. Dave stopped on his way thru to celebrate my 500 day mark and in 219 days we will be in Carrolton, Ohio to celebrate his 500 day mark. Also Dave passed his KTC to me for further coin adventures.”

I'm not really introducing anything important. Well, unless you think food is important. I do. I love eating good stuff, and I've started a weight loss plan that's really working. I've cut 10 pounds and many inches in 14 days. If you want to know more, text or PM me.
Enough about the loss part, though. I do get a cheat meal once a week, and this week I'm thinking breakfast for supper! We're talking a serving bowl of cheese grits, scrambled eggs, ground sausage, and bacon, hash browns, biscuits, and muffins (for the kids) on the side. My dessert will be a biscuit filled like as damn jelly doughnut with good ol' sugar cane syrup.
I won't insult this meal by having anything green. Damn, Friday night, get here!

KTC CHALLENGE
Want to get some additional accountability going? Want to meet some new quitters? Tired of a BORING quit group with nothing but roll call posts?
Here's a thought... use the TAG function. TAG someone, in your quit group (or any other thread here on the forums) that you've NEVER tagged before. Start a convo. Ask how their quit is going.
THIS place is about COMMUNITY. Some of my best friends in the world are people that I've met HERE... whether I've ever met them in person or not. Guys like @cbird65 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=105) and @bronc (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=574). Guys like @Samrs (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=8) and @Big Brother Jack (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2624)
You know how we've become such good friends? We talk. We've walked through the FIRES of quitting together and NOW our relationship has evolved into something MUCH bigger... but it all started cause we're addicts.
So... @Krreed8889 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=20660) how you doing today? CONGRATS on 5 days of FREEDOM! That's a MASSIVE accomplishment and I'm damn proud to be quit with you today!

Here's a thought... use the TAG function. TAG someone, in your quit group (or any other thread here on the forums) that you've NEVER tagged before. Start a convo. Ask how their quit is going.
THIS place is about COMMUNITY. Some of my best friends in the world are people that I've met HERE... whether I've ever met them in person or not. Guys like @cbird65 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=105) and @bronc (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=574). Guys like @Samrs (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=8) and @Big Brother Jack (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2624)
You know how we've become such good friends? We talk. We've walked through the FIRES of quitting together and NOW our relationship has evolved into something MUCH bigger... but it all started cause we're addicts.
So... @Krreed8889 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=20660) how you doing today? CONGRATS on 5 days of FREEDOM! That's a MASSIVE accomplishment and I'm damn proud to be quit with you today!

I'm good .. got a promotion to supervisor at work yesterday.. still chewing on the fake stuff waiting it out ... hope everyone is good. Proud to be quit with ya'll today.
@Krreed8889 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=20660) - BRAVO!!! Congrats on the promotion my man! Keep using that fake as long as necessary. I used about a can / day for about 220 days or so before I didn't NEED it any more. It's a tool in your toolbelt! Keep on rocking!

Ah, this could be the start of a good quitter vortex! Meeting up with other quitters, in retrospect, was probably one of the keys to my successful quit. In fact, just yesterday, a facebook memeory of @Big Brother Jack (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2624) popped up. As it turned out, a few weeks into my quit, I had to attend a conference in Vegas, and I posted that I would be there, when Jack said he'd be there too and we met. It was a game changer. In that environment, a cave was almost assured, but knowing I was going to meet with a quitter in person made a huge difference. We ended up having a great time hanging out, and next thing you know, I'm off to a quitter meet in PA to meet a bunch of bad ass quitters. My accountability circle grew from my quit groups, to over 30 people I had met in-person, including @chewie (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1) and some dudes from my quitter group like @MonsterEMT (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=248) . We had a really great time. Locally, a guy from Washington, @ZillahCowboy (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=993) came down and met me at the St Paul Rodeo. These were all key events that helped me stay quit. Lastly, I was on the chat board a lot, where guys like @cbird65 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=105), @Franpro (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1059) and @cmark (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=878) were laying down quit wisdom and minding the craziness of us new quitters going on rants and talking about anything at all in order to keep from putting shit in our lip. There were some great stories and fun times. Get involved here. It's key.

definitely seeing a vortex on this tread... Where to begin. Chewie nailed it by getting outside of your four walls of your HoF. The resources and members here are plentiful but you have to take the first step by 'opening up'. Social media has escalated to vitriolic trolling and self promotion. KTC IS NOT SOCIAL MEDIA. The three tenants we share -ACCOUNTABILITY leads to BROTHERHOOD generates SUCCESS are critical metrics in the formula and cannot not achieved separately. I have a KTC t-shirt with signatures of KTC'ers I've been blessed to meet over the years. I have a long list of 'want-to-meet quitters who have helped me along the way. They're not just nameless faces behind an avatar. They are people who have become close friends. Open up, invest some time and this site will amaze you. Some of my closest friends are 'guys I've met on the internet' roflmao By no means is this a who's who list but guys who have encouraged and challenged me along the way. @30yraddict (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=268) @hydro (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=174) @FUCS (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=603) We will not agree on 100% of things all the time but your quit will develop and you will begin to see other areas of your life you would like to focus on... baby steps.. post roll...keep your word... repeat tomorrow.

One of the most badass quitters around, @ChickDip (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=164) is on my list of amazing humans to meet in person. This lady is relentlessly faithful at posting on people's pages to encourage them, even years into a quit. One of these days, it'll happen. @brettlees (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=886) is another amazing human, who came up to the Portland area for a conference and stopped into see me. Next thing you know, he's a family friend and has attended some amazing family parties. I suppose there is a bond that is formed between quitters, because of the seriousness of what we're doing and what we've done. The incredible effort and time we've put into our sobriety. Then there are the group of dudes that took the success they had with nicotine and applied it to other serious addictions. I've watched them go from being amazing men to even more amazing men. I think this journey, and the people we befriend along the way might be one of the most impactful things I've done in my life. Nicotine addiction was a curse - quitting has been a huge blessing! Rock on quitters!

@bubblehed668 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1864) what's the deal with these poppers? https://www.killthecan.org/bubblehed668-grilling-up-some-freedom/
I always do my poppers with cream cheese/tabasco/cheddar cheese stuffing and then wrap them in bacon before smoking a few hours. I can't tell what's under those sausages or what type of sausages those are.
Anyone else got a go-to recipe for jalapeno poppers?
That is a small white onion, cream cheese & turbinado sugar blended in a food processor and piped into the peppers. The sausage is a cheddar smokie laid on top then wrapped in bacon.
Somewhere in the deep dark recesses of KTC there was an area for recipes and it was in there called ABT's (Atomic Buffalo Turds). I can send it to you if you'd like, let me know.
Made these over the weekend and they turned out great.

This is interesting. I love experimenting with poppers but never thought of sausage. May need to try this weekend!

I would like everyone here, especially those quitters who've made it to that 100 day mark but haven't written one, to go take a look at the Hall of Fame Speech page.
Done it? What did you see? I'll tell you what I saw. I saw 69 pages of speeches dating back to September 2018, and I'm betting that doesn't count any that may have been archived from older versions of this site.
69 pages of pain. 69 pages of misery. 69 pages of struggle. 69 pages of addiction.
69 pages of triumph. 69 pages of pride. 69 pages of accomplishment. 69 pages of brother and sisterhood. 69 pages of QUIT ODAAT.
The newer speeches have already been viewed over 100 times. Some speeches have over 1500 views. One Thousand, Five Hundred people have read them!
Who do you think are reading our speeches? Of course our Quit Group members are reading them. Certainly conductors and our outstanding supporters are reading them. We all like to read new speeches. They feed our quits. They strengthen our quit foundations. They remind us of how we felt when we hit that triple digit accomplishment. They make us proud of our quit brothers and sisters.
You know who else is reading these speeches? Yeah, you know. The man or woman lurking on the site. The person who desperately wants to quit but is scared of what's coming. The young guy who knows this habit he's had for just a few years is a stupid thing. The old guy who's been dipping or chewing for decades and of a sudden has just simply had enough. The woman who's been hiding a taboo addiction for years and is ready to stop hiding. Or the guy like me who got the ever-loving shit scared out of him by a lump on his gum and had to look in his sweet wife's eyes and tell her about it and see the fear that news bred.
We write these speeches for the brothers and sisters we have here at KTC. We also write them for the brothers and sisters we HOPE to have. You never know how your speech, no matter how simple, can reassure an addict on the fence of quitting to come on over to the side of freedom.
Write the speech. Post the speech. Live the speech. You may just change a life besides your own.

Today is a rough one again. It's day 32 and I can't focus on work at all. I've got that feeling like my blood is boiling. Feels like the first few days again. Not asking for anything or making excuses and I have no desire to cave. Just posting to vent.

Vent away man. Post here, in your group or use the digits you've swapped with other quitters.

Meh...
You will probably have to buy new pants. We all gained weight but it's a temporary and small price to pay until you get further into your quit.
The focus now is doing the One Day At A Time thing. You got this ED!

Yeah, @EdT3329 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=21085), I gained about 20 pounds after I quit. I stressed over it for a while, but I knew I was fighting a more important battle at the time getting my quit solid. The weight would come back off. Sunflower seeds helped some with the psychological urge to eat/have something in my mouth. The fake dips helped, too, probably more than anything else.
You can be healthier about it, though. I know you want to snack, so have low-cal or sugar free stuff. Eat nuts or raw veggies. Yes, you'll still put on some weight, but it won't be as much. And exercise as much as you can. Walking will help even if you can't do any more than that.
Don't stress about a few pounds or a new pants size. As Stillbrewing said, focus on the ODAAT right now, and keep rockin' that quit!

Step Toward The Future of KTC – Discord
A while back, we started looking at alternative chat platforms for use with KTC. The old forum-based chat, text groups, GroupMe, and other communications platforms all served a purpose. They all had limitations, though, and tended to fragment our community.
It's no secret that in recent years, old-school style platforms like web forums have given way to social media platforms. Forums like KTC are a dying breed. That's why most conversations happen on other platforms like Group Me. People like the immediacy of online communications, especially when coupled with smart phones and tablets. App and mobile support for platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Discord are incredibly attractive to online users of all ages.
Because of these trends, we started investigating various mobile-friendly social media platforms. One of the ones that stood out to us immediately was Discord. The more we looked into it, the more we liked what we saw.
We began taking a closer look at how Discord in particular could be used to support quitters as part of KTC. Our goal was to find a one stop shop where quitters could post roll, engage with other quitters, and do it all through a single platform on desktop and mobile devices.
We feel Discord is that platform. Discord has a mobile app, a desktop client, and can event be used in a browser. It is well known, easily accessible, and very easy to use when chatting with other quitters. It's structure is also well suited to the traditional KTC concept of posting roll.
That last is critical, as posting roll is the foundation of our quits. As we move away from the web forum and GroupMe chats, we will support posting roll both on Discord and the KTC Forum. However, we will be encouraging all users, vets and new quitters alike, to shift over to Discord for posting roll, quitting discussions, and the like.
Please join the KTC Discord server and tell us what you think.
When you join, you must use the same username that you use on KTC! You can change your nickname on the KTC Discord server to match your KTC Forum user name once you join the server.
After we've verified your user name, you will be asked to agree to the server rules before you are allowed to post anything. You will also be limited in what you can do (like post roll) and view until we verify you.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

So I have a few questions about this switch and im sure others are wondering the same.
1) will there be any more new groups made up here? I see Jan 22 is mixed in with 2021.
2) will this site always be a option to post roll for established groups.
3) will any of this History be transported over to Discord , all the HOF Speech's, Intros, Wildcard sections etc...
4) seems like a great way to talk to new and old quitters alike but viewing via mobile its hard to tell who is in the group, making it hard to tell if everyone is on roll , I fear Accountability is going to take a huge hit and the strictness and hard nose way of killing this addiction will be dampened.
5) i know change is hard, Im being very open to it and know its a 50/50 split , like to dislike. feel a open discussion will help with the transition and open up understanding.

We need to figure out a way to keep Acccountability going on discord. There is a way and I'm sure there will be people chomping to figure it out

will some things be changed in discord? Im trying to picture how a HOF month will go? will there be a link between the two so you can pull information to the new site easier. or even scrolling on a mobile though all the write up. with added support in the mix, maybe pin it for each day and guide people to how to view pins?

I think we are open to anything. What we wanted to do was create an place that has everything we need. Will things be different from a functionality? Yes. What will new groups look like and how will they be set up...not exactly sure. We have to play with it and figure out what is best. We thought about combining pre groups into one big group. For reference...my group April 2016 had over 100 quitters join at one point. I think we had over 70 reach HOF. These new groups...for whatever reason...aren't big. They get too isolated and in our opinion would be better served having a bigger group to socialize and form brotherhood. Accountability comes from caring about your fellow person's quit and they in turn caring about your quit.

I dig it! just have to shut down thread from being created in that area. Be nice to maybe change all pre HOF quitters username a specific color, so they can be identified right off the bat.

I know you Admins and mods put in alot of time we appreciate you all, I dont know what that load entails, already i find it a bit tiresome jumping between the 2, will there be a set of Admins and mods here, and a different set over in Discord?

In my humble opinion I am concerned that it may cause division. My group had a few people missing yesterday and when I texted them they told me they had posted on discord. To those posting on this site it just looks like they are MIQ. It is difficult to see if everyone from a group has posted roll for the day when some are posting there and some here. Just what I have noticed in the last day or so. Thoughts?

And it doesn't have to be one or the other. It can be both. I personally don't ever see myself stopping posting here on the forums. But Discord provides a platform that may help generate more conversation and foster a brotherhood more than the forums are able to do at this point. At this point try to view them as complimentary vs one trying to overtake/replace the other.

Perhaps... but it's no less divided than it was with multiple GroupMe's, FB groups, FB pages, text groups, etc. etc. etc.
We're not looking to 'replace' any of that stuff but if we can bring the community TOGETHER that's a HUGE win. I can tell you that I personally have spent more time on Discord recently than I have in many months on the forums. I can tell you that I've been engaged with months / quitters outside my month than I have in some time. Is that because it's 'new and shiny'? Maybe. But there are certain features on Discord (showing who's online at any given time in a specific month, tagging, mentions, etc. that I personally believe are better on that platform.
We know it's not for everyone, and change sucks. But the reality is we've been 'changing' and 'evolving' here at KTC ever since we started. There was a day when ALL we had was a forum (on Invisionfree). That then was augmented by the main site. Then the blog. Then the quitter blog. Then FB, Twitter, and other social media.
Then we migrated InvisionFree to Zetaboard (which some loved and others hated). Then text groups became a thing. Then GroupMe spun up. Chat was introduced. Some used it, some hated it (damn trolls).
Then was the *shudder* TapaTalk disaster which EVERYONE hated. We finally migrated to these SMF forums.
Along the way, for multiple reasons, people have gone their separate ways. Some people engage ONLY on the forums. Others are ONLY on the main site. There's a slew of folks that have never posted roll, don't belong to a FB group but yet engage on TikTok daily.
Bottom line, we're a COMMUNITY of quitters. That SUPPORT and QUIT KNOWLEDGE has never changed and candidly I think is getting BIGGER AND BETTER. It's just sort of spread out.
Sorry for the long winded answer @Skolvikings (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=70) this isn't directed at you... just sort of me sitting down and getting some thoughts out.
ALL of that said, I'm honored to be quit with all of you today... In my mind, I'm looking for that 'old school' feel where we could interact, quickly on a regular basis. Remember 'trophy hunting' on the forums? That sort of thing.
I personally think Discord is getting us back to that sort of feeling. Doesn't mean I'm right... just one guy's opinion. We're not married to our ideas... if something better comes along we're open to it.
Never again... for any reason.

If so, what I plan to do for things like new roll templates, etc., is to create a Word document on my computer and save it - in fact, save it to my desktop for easy access. You can do the same for your Zeroes report. From that doc make all your updates, then you just copy / paste it into the Discord thread. Hopefully that made sense?
Right now, it seems we have limited formatting ability (font size, type, color - unless I just haven't found it yet) but hopefully that will change at some point.

Here we go again! A new and better...Bla, Bla, Bla, way to do things here in KTC land. Bullshit..
How the hell can I do something like the Zero Report on this black hole of a what the fuck??
Way back when-- I was very close to walking away from KTC but bird noticed my struggle and showed me how to do it.
The Tapa Crap was shit--so we went to where we were as of this morning.
Yeah! you guys are moving my cheeze, and I'm pissed!

You can also pin a post in a thread. Then each day just do a copy and paste it in a new message.

In my humble opinion I am concerned that it may cause division. My group had a few people missing yesterday and when I texted them they told me they had posted on discord. To those posting on this site it just looks like they are MIQ. It is difficult to see if everyone from a group has posted roll for the day when some are posting there and some here. Just what I have noticed in the last day or so. Thoughts?
I agree Redwood, my group was asking and i told them we would focus on this site as our main accountability, in the mean time have them check out the new site (discord) for a few weeks and we would decide and vote as a unit which site all of us will be on.
Good idea. Thanks for the input.
And it doesn't have to be one or the other. It can be both. I personally don't ever see myself stopping posting here on the forums. But Discord provides a platform that may help generate more conversation and foster a brotherhood more than the forums are able to do at this point. At this point try to view them as complimentary vs one trying to overtake/replace the other.
You have that damn wrong, the site is now divided.
Perhaps... but it's no less divided than it was with multiple GroupMe's, FB groups, FB pages, text groups, etc. etc. etc.
We're not looking to 'replace' any of that stuff but if we can bring the community TOGETHER that's a HUGE win. I can tell you that I personally have spent more time on Discord recently than I have in many months on the forums. I can tell you that I've been engaged with months / quitters outside my month than I have in some time. Is that because it's 'new and shiny'? Maybe. But there are certain features on Discord (showing who's online at any given time in a specific month, tagging, mentions, etc. that I personally believe are better on that platform.
We know it's not for everyone, and change sucks. But the reality is we've been 'changing' and 'evolving' here at KTC ever since we started. There was a day when ALL we had was a forum (on Invisionfree). That then was augmented by the main site. Then the blog. Then the quitter blog. Then FB, Twitter, and other social media.
Then we migrated InvisionFree to Zetaboard (which some loved and others hated). Then text groups became a thing. Then GroupMe spun up. Chat was introduced. Some used it, some hated it (damn trolls).
Then was the *shudder* TapaTalk disaster which EVERYONE hated. We finally migrated to these SMF forums.
Along the way, for multiple reasons, people have gone their separate ways. Some people engage ONLY on the forums. Others are ONLY on the main site. There's a slew of folks that have never posted roll, don't belong to a FB group but yet engage on TikTok daily.
Bottom line, we're a COMMUNITY of quitters. That SUPPORT and QUIT KNOWLEDGE has never changed and candidly I think is getting BIGGER AND BETTER. It's just sort of spread out.
Sorry for the long winded answer @Skolvikings (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=70) this isn't directed at you... just sort of me sitting down and getting some thoughts out.
ALL of that said, I'm honored to be quit with all of you today... In my mind, I'm looking for that 'old school' feel where we could interact, quickly on a regular basis. Remember 'trophy hunting' on the forums? That sort of thing.
I personally think Discord is getting us back to that sort of feeling. Doesn't mean I'm right... just one guy's opinion. We're not married to our ideas... if something better comes along we're open to it.
Never again... for any reason.

Trophy hunting. There’s a phrase from the past.

So far I post on both sites. Posting on discord regarding showing support I'm having a little learning curve issue. But it'll work out. I was initially anxious about it even at a mere 2,562 days. As we have seen the days quit amount doesn't mean we're healed! So take it in stride and keep that bitch away! NIC BITCH that is!

The big difference between having "multiple GroupMe's, FB groups, FB pages, text groups, etc. etc. etc" and what you guys have done here is that before we all had one place to post roll. You know, that "sacred" thing that we all do to keep each other accountable? Now you have individual groups wandering around aimlessly trying to decide which site to post roll on. Pretty clear representation of the lack of leadedship you guys are providing.
Make a decision. Even if it's the wrong one, make a decision. You'll likely piss people off either way, but this half-assed "it doesn't have to be one or the other" bullshit is not only going to piss people off, it's going to destroy the main purpose of this site.

will some things be changed in discord? Im trying to picture how a HOF month will go? will there be a link between the two so you can pull information to the new site easier. or even scrolling on a mobile though all the write up. with added support in the mix, maybe pin it for each day and guide people to how to view pins?
I think we are open to anything. What we wanted to do was create an place that has everything we need. Will things be different from a functionality? Yes. What will new groups look like and how will they be set up...not exactly sure. We have to play with it and figure out what is best. We thought about combining pre groups into one big group. For reference...my group April 2016 had over 100 quitters join at one point. I think we had over 70 reach HOF. These new groups...for whatever reason...aren't big. They get too isolated and in our opinion would be better served having a bigger group to socialize and form brotherhood. Accountability comes from caring about your fellow person's quit and they in turn caring about your quit.
I wonder if the decline in group size might be due to worse SEO performance--I seem to remember the site's search ranking taking a big hit after the move to tapatalk. At this point, it's on page 4 of the google results for "quit dipping." If it was on page 1 or 2 before, I bet that would explain a lot of the difference. Should we expect that Discord is going to make it easier for new quitters to find KTC? Or would we be better served by focusing on getting more traffic to the website and forums?

Just my opinion as a quitter:
The forum is dying, It is becoming a day count tracker. There is not a lot of engagement anymore as Vets just tend to stick to a few groups they support or just post and ghost. There is another tenet to this place besides Accountability and that is Brotherhood; we hold our Brothers and Sisters accountable. Personally I do not see quitters going into other groups and hold quitters who miss accountable. We are slowly losing that community because the conversations and dialogue is not happening. We were already divided - each into their own silo.
What is wrong with getting everyone engaged and listening to their opinion on how we should move forward? What is wrong with seeing what works and what doesn't by trying it out without making a hard and fast decision?
@Peter Gibbons (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=189) you say just make a decision. I think the Admins have.... you just don't like the decision they made.

So, by this logic we should focus 100% on a single entity?
Forget about social media, forget about text threads, phone calls, etc. etc. etc.
All I can say is I personally disagree with this. There are people who have found KTC via a variety of avenues. There are folks who are quit 100% because of this org and have never once even visited the forums.
And no... that's not to say accountability isn't still the thing that we're built on.

The big difference between having "multiple GroupMe's, FB groups, FB pages, text groups, etc. etc. etc" and what you guys have done here is that before we all had one place to post roll. You know, that "sacred" thing that we all do to keep each other accountable? Now you have individual groups wandering around aimlessly trying to decide which site to post roll on. Pretty clear representation of the lack of leadedship you guys are providing.
Make a decision. Even if it's the wrong one, make a decision. You'll likely piss people off either way, but this half-assed "it doesn't have to be one or the other" bullshit is not only going to piss people off, it's going to destroy the main purpose of this site.
@Administrator (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=groups;sa=members;group=1) @Moderator (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=groups;sa=members;group=2)
Just my opinion as a quitter:
The forum is dying, It is becoming a day count tracker. There is not a lot of engagement anymore as Vets just tend to stick to a few groups they support or just post and ghost. There is another tenet to this place besides Accountability and that is Brotherhood; we hold our Brothers and Sisters accountable. Personally I do not see quitters going into other groups and hold quitters who miss accountable. We are slowly losing that community because the conversations and dialogue is not happening. We were already divided - each into their own silo.
What is wrong with getting everyone engaged and listening to their opinion on how we should move forward? What is wrong with seeing what works and what doesn't by trying it out without making a hard and fast decision?
@Peter Gibbons (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=189) you say just make a decision. I think the Admins have.... you just don't like the decision they made.
By all means, try stuff out. You don't have to mess with roll to dick around with another platform though.
Just my .02 cents worth. Even if the forum becomes just a day tracker, to me that is fine. You can go in there and see who has posted up. Then you can come play out on these other platforms and ask why so and so hasn't posted yet, especially if they are out here playing. Accountability and Brotherhood doesn't have to be tied to this platform.
Now I will tell you it is a big difference from when I first started because we didn't have all these other options. You had the forum, chat and a phone. If you were lucky, you could afford texting. Now I do not care how you have your accountability and brother/sisterhood, just as long as you do, here, there. small group, big group whatever, just have it.

In my humble opinion I am concerned that it may cause division. My group had a few people missing yesterday and when I texted them they told me they had posted on discord. To those posting on this site it just looks like they are MIQ. It is difficult to see if everyone from a group has posted roll for the day when some are posting there and some here. Just what I have noticed in the last day or so. Thoughts?
I agree Redwood, my group was asking and i told them we would focus on this site as our main accountability, in the mean time have them check out the new site (discord) for a few weeks and we would decide and vote as a unit which site all of us will be on.
Good idea. Thanks for the input.
And it doesn't have to be one or the other. It can be both. I personally don't ever see myself stopping posting here on the forums. But Discord provides a platform that may help generate more conversation and foster a brotherhood more than the forums are able to do at this point. At this point try to view them as complimentary vs one trying to overtake/replace the other.
You have that damn wrong, the site is now divided.
Perhaps... but it's no less divided than it was with multiple GroupMe's, FB groups, FB pages, text groups, etc. etc. etc.
We're not looking to 'replace' any of that stuff but if we can bring the community TOGETHER that's a HUGE win. I can tell you that I personally have spent more time on Discord recently than I have in many months on the forums. I can tell you that I've been engaged with months / quitters outside my month than I have in some time. Is that because it's 'new and shiny'? Maybe. But there are certain features on Discord (showing who's online at any given time in a specific month, tagging, mentions, etc. that I personally believe are better on that platform.
We know it's not for everyone, and change sucks. But the reality is we've been 'changing' and 'evolving' here at KTC ever since we started. There was a day when ALL we had was a forum (on Invisionfree). That then was augmented by the main site. Then the blog. Then the quitter blog. Then FB, Twitter, and other social media.
Then we migrated InvisionFree to Zetaboard (which some loved and others hated). Then text groups became a thing. Then GroupMe spun up. Chat was introduced. Some used it, some hated it (damn trolls).
Then was the *shudder* TapaTalk disaster which EVERYONE hated. We finally migrated to these SMF forums.
Along the way, for multiple reasons, people have gone their separate ways. Some people engage ONLY on the forums. Others are ONLY on the main site. There's a slew of folks that have never posted roll, don't belong to a FB group but yet engage on TikTok daily.
Bottom line, we're a COMMUNITY of quitters. That SUPPORT and QUIT KNOWLEDGE has never changed and candidly I think is getting BIGGER AND BETTER. It's just sort of spread out.
Sorry for the long winded answer @Skolvikings (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=70) this isn't directed at you... just sort of me sitting down and getting some thoughts out.
ALL of that said, I'm honored to be quit with all of you today... In my mind, I'm looking for that 'old school' feel where we could interact, quickly on a regular basis. Remember 'trophy hunting' on the forums? That sort of thing.
I personally think Discord is getting us back to that sort of feeling. Doesn't mean I'm right... just one guy's opinion. We're not married to our ideas... if something better comes along we're open to it.
Never again... for any reason.

This forum is everything you want it to be. If that’s day tracker good, if that’s accountability even better. Want make friends you can don’t have too. Don’t think anything has changed here to be honest with you, you get what you put in having another site may be good for the new quitters maybe not. Nobody really knows what the future holds at the end of the day this place is just simply a tool to help you stay quit. None of us would be here if we didn’t need it, just appreciate what has been built here and use what you need to use.

The GOALS of KillTheCan (October 2021)
I've had numerous conversations about this over the past several days (weeks, months, etc.)
Just putting this out there really to solidify it in my mind. I'm going to copy/paste some convos I've had, add to some, subtract from others, etc.
KTC started 15+ years ago. The idea was to develop a place to help people get (AND STAY) quit. Smokeless tobacco was, and continues to be, the enemy in my mind. Period, end of fucking story.
Through the years things have changed. It's been talked about ad naseum so I won't bore you with a history lesson but it includes things like platform changes, the advent of social media, new things that didn't exist like chat, offshoot sites, massive growth and decline of engagement.
It's easy to fall into the trap of looking at this place as an opportunity to be BIG.
"Let's grow the site. Let's grow the membership. Let's be bigger than the rest."
That has NEVER been the goal. The goal has ALWAYS been getting people to be free from their addiction to smokeless tobacco.
I don't think when the founders of AA were thinking it was a business opportunity. They just wanted to help people.
That's what KTC is. Period. Everything else is nice... but not the main mission.
It has become readily apparent through the years that building ACCOUNTABILTY seems to be a major factor in success rates. Building BROTHERHOOD seems to be a major factor in building that accountability. That's where ACCOUTABILITY + BROTHERHOOD = SUCCESS comes from. Seems silly to point it out, but I find it helpful to see it written out that way.
So... if all things stem from BROTHERHOOD it seems natural to figure out how to grow that. That's why you hear the term ENGAGEMENT thrown around. In my mind this isn't a marketing term. This is about chatting, talking, feeling, understanding your brothers and sisters in quit. This is about KNOWING what these folks are going through, being EMPHATHETIC and PAYING FORWARD with we WE know and have experienced.
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.
This has NEVER been about being the biggest. It’s about QUITTING. If that means it’s 6 guys bullshitting together all day then that’s what it means.
I've seen more of the above on Discord in recent weeks that I've seen in YEARS on the forums. I'm not suggesting Discord is perfect... it's not. But in my eyes its giving us something we've not had recently. ENGAGEMENT (again... not the marketing term).
Brotherhood leads to Accountability leads to Success (getting and staying quit). PERIOD.

Completely agree Chewie, as you probably remember back in the day that I am 15 year quit and did this for my (now) 19 year old boy/girl twins in college. Was part of 2006 Drama Queens group and do agree there was a lot of drama on the chat during the early days but do believe this helped in quit. Although I check this every year or so (which I view as a good thing that the drive of nicotine is not there) I was dismayed that you did away with the chat. This has absolutely no bearing on me but I did find during the initial quit period this chat to be instrumental to success and do recommend reinstituting for this purpose for those newly quitting.

There were a host of issues that you probably aren't aware of since you mentioned you aren't active on the site that contributed to this decision. Since you won't likely even see this, I'm not going to waste my time. But I will say there is actually a new "chat" - in fact, an entirely new complimentary side of KTC on Discord that combines the forums into a chat-like atmosphere. Check it out if you feel so inclined.

I did see this and thank you for reply although tone was lacking for site such as this. As said although I am not on this site often now, I did a ton back in the day supporting those quitting (on this site and its predecessor) which I think Chewie can attest to. I was inclined and did try to log into Discord tonight and unfortunately my company blocked the link so will have to try on home computer. I do appreciate everything that you do in supporting those quitting but would recommend not being so defensive as to whatever feedback is provided.

I apologize for the tone. I do get annoyed when (on occasion) people pop back after such a length of time and criticize decisions made in their absence without any knowledge of what led to those decisions.
We are on the same team; we are quit and want to help others experience that same freedom. I was not around back in the early days so thank you for your contributions at that time and laying the foundation for people like me who came later to have the best damn place on the internet to quit nicotine.
I hope you can get Discord to work. My company computer blocks it as well and I've had to utilize either my smartphone or iPad. Let us know if you continue to have issues.

Its like as if you miss something in life. Mind is trying to create many way to get back to chewing habit. It says 1) People live 80-90 years even with chewing tobacco 2) Nothing wrong in chewing once a week ie on Sunday 3) Eat out side your home and come back, in that case u wont have more .... So many cajoling brain is making to get back to nicotine. Its just the determination that get carries now for me.. Am planning to write a blog everyday on my on going mental experiences. Hope it will benefit some one..

A surge of cravings felt few minutes before where the brain is giving instruction to go back and pick up a dip!!! Successfully averted by calling few of my friends for a walk and overcame !! This is really sickening. But good part is my teeth was a bit sensitive few days back and now getting better.. Lets do it. No more touching this shit.

You're on the right path.
Have you been posting roll here with your group? What day are you on?

Today on 7th Day!! Cravings were on peak yesterday. The beautiful thing is my speech now getting more clearer as tongue sores due to shit habit slowly getting cured. Fortunately, I don't have any discoloring or any lumps or anything. Still, teeth are intact without much damage. It will take a good amount of time to overcome this shit I guess. Provided never dip again in life. But 30 years dipping and the cold turkey was daunting. Am increasing my workouts, walking more, ignoring the fragrance of tobacco... God, please stay with me in this Himalayan task.
