Quitting for good. 23 years old and been dipping relligiously since I was 14. Not something I want to do for the rest of my life. Still trying to get use to the site and find time to get on. Thanks for the support guys I admire you all.

Excellent choice. Go to the 'Welcome Center' and read up on this site. We quit one day at a time here fuck the future, quit for the day. Use the resources this site offers and leverage your quit brothers. Go to April 13 quit group and go post roll. We do this daily here. Keep your word to your brothers. Repeat. Quit with you today!

Well here is the deal with KTC, we are basically a cold turkey program, we don't utilize nicotine replacement therapy such as nicorette gum.
We come in each day and promise to our brothers that we will remain quit for the rest of the day, the next day we come and do the same thing.
People come in here and bust balls, they go in the chat and talk about the issues they are having, they call fellow quit group members and ask for help. We remain quit one day at a time.
We have milestones, the biggest and the first is reaching 100 days quit without NRT, this is called the Hall of Fame, the time when you reach HOF is your quit group so if you quit today you would be in the April 2013 group.
When in your group you post roll call, this is your promise to quit today, tomorrow you come in and repeat. Remember, we are addicts, we are junkies to nicotine, it takes a strong will and assistance to stay quit.
Here is the welcome center

Welcome to our group, if you buy into the program it can save your life.
Stay quit my friend.

Why you no post roll yet? do that here (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=7622)
My advice: Reread everything Bigwhitebeast said, for it is the gospel. Ignore the post by ryanlong2013, for he knows not what he's talking about. "Could not do it" = bullshit. If I can do it after almost 20 years, so can anybody else. Just gotta get your head in the game.
Happy to see you here, but you have to make up your mind whether you're commited to this quit. If you are, then you'll find the time. What could possibly be more important than saving your life? That was my attitude when I first came here. Every morning. Wake up, get priorities in order, post roll (give my quit group my word), then go on with getting ready for work or whatever. It has to be the primary thing. It has to be that important, at least for a while.
Seriously, get up 2 minutes earlier every day. That's all it takes to make that promise on roll call. Then, if you're a man of your word, nicotine is not an option for the rest of the day. Is losing 2 minutes of sleep, or pressing the snooze button one less time too high a price to pay for your heath?
There is no "try". There is "do", and there is "do not". Pick one.

Sorry to have not posted role yet. I have been up all night working. Unfortunately I work rotating shifts and can not always post first thing.

yeah you're sorry! A perfect stranger to you (Bigwhitebeast) gives you the advice that can keep you from looking like
could be you (http://www.outdoortexan.com/mycancer.htm)
Perfect strangers here at KTC saved my life. No doubt.
I feel sorry for you younger men trying to quit.
Seans' story (http://whyquit.com/whyquit/seanmarsee.html)
Young folks think they're invicible...I know I did. Both my grandaddys rubbed powdered snuff and 1 grandma dipped. I rationalized my behavior with their behavior.
It happens everyday somewhere in America. Nicotine is a powerful drug. I'm an addict of nicotine today and tomorrow. Which is why WE here at KTC Decide every a.m. to be QUIT by posting ROLL!
If you really don't want to be a pussy and a slave to nicotine, you have found the best place to help you BE QUIT. The price is your word, the benefits are endless!
Your choice, noone can do it for you!
Cheers.

Lucas, as one of the site "pricks" I'm gonna remind you of something. When was the last time you got down to that last dip in a can and you either had to scrape up the change for a can or go out of your way to buy a new can? Did you ever get desperate worrying you would run out? I sure as hell did, and I would do anything to get that can. (I live 70 miles from the closest dip on weekends) I can't count the times I drove 140 miles to feed my addiction. Now the point, make finding time to post roll every bit as critical in your life as making sure you had that dip was before! I remember the old tv adds for camel cigs. "I'd walk a mile for a camel." We'll I also remember early in my quit someone posting rol while on a camping trip and they had to climb to the top of a mountain to get a cell signal to text a quit brother to post for him! No fucking excuses not to post roll!! Get numbers and text your quit if Internet access is a problem. If your sleeping, post first thing when you wake, just like taking a piss, take care of business! Now that I'm done being a prick, pm me if I can help you in any way, I'm really not that bad. "Shut up Loot, no one asked you"

WT is an amateur prick. Hes a wanna be prick. However, he knows this thing called quit. Youd do well to appreciate having him in your corner...and pay attention when he speaks...and grasp the outstretched hand when he offers it. He would quit for you if he could...

OBVIOUSLY with Wt57 on this one since he helped save my life. and no wt57 isn't a prick he's a very caring man that has gone out of his way to help me and my quit.. When I needed a break WT57 posted for me for a friggin week. at the time it saved my quit. Thanks brother..
as for Lucas? This is a poor excuse.. ever heard of a cell phone? I've seen 5 year olds with them.. if you can't post, CALL, or TEXT one of your quit buddies in your group to post for you. 1+1=quit

Actually a cell phone is my only means of communicating with this site. If you read the post I put about posting roll, note that it says first thing. I never said I would not post, just not always first thing. My mornings are alot of times your nights and vice versa.

Looks like you do pretty good posting in your intro with your phone...Dude you can post whenever you want, as long as you post DAILY. We're not telling you this to be assholes, we're telling you this because you have a better chance making that commitment to yourself (and us) right when u wake up. If you wait till the end of YOUR day you'll have some dangerous limbo time.. We're not saying post in the morning, we're saying post in YOUR morning. Everyone wakes up I think? and god knows there are guy's on here at all hours of the day. My wife works graveyard for years, people have different mornings.. no worries.. quit with you bro!! peace

Dude....what you are not realizing is that we are all addicts here!!! We have used all of the bullshit lines to rationalize our behavior to our friends and family. We have lied to our wives, mother and fathers to get that fix. You cannot come up with a scenario that will justify not posting. Shit or get off the pot!! Post roll!

Day 6 and still going strong. Right now I really do not even want a dip, yes I am having nicotine withdrawals but do not want to stick any of that nasty crap in my mouth. Not even the fake stuff. It just all seems nasty now. All I really want to do is just punch somebody in the face. I have always been a laid back guy buy since I quit I feel like the hulk. It seems like everywhere I go somebody is trying to be smart and tick me off. But so far have not punched anyone. I know it will get better, so just gonna stick with it.

Ah the dip rage, completely normal as your mind begins the process of re-wiring itself. And yes even I, you can ask some others, the calm and methodic one went through a period of early quit where I wanted punch a hole through a brick wall and wanted to yell at everyone around.
It like alot of the other symptoms will pass. For this one a good recommendation made to me was a little meditation to relax me. It helped a little. Then I just started cursing during the mantra. 'Crazy'
Good work so far, keep it up.

Early on I was raging and snapped my weed wacker in half. I beat it on the ground like 15 times till it snapped.. Oh man that felt good... had to buy a new one, but it was worth it. I guess better than bashing someones face. unless it's the bitch. She's the only woman I would ever knock the F out.. lol

Well it's day 14 and still a little bit of rage. I guess it's time to rant a little. I know I sound like a very angy guy, but trust me I'm not. So anyway, Its a long story but here goes. For Christmas me and my wife got gift cards to Academy Outdoors. There is not one in our area yet but there is one about 100 miles away in Montgomery. So Monday we were both off and decided to go up that way and do some shopping. Well my wife has wanted an Alabama jersey for the past few years and has yet to find one she likes. Well she found one at Academy and wanted to use her gift card. Well the only problem was this one had a cut on the front and a tear in it. She decided not to get it and just order one offline. Well the other night she told me it had shipped and was coming from Montgomery. I laughed and told her it was probably the one she put back. Well she texted me today and it was delivered to the house. Turns out it is the exact same one we put back. Out of all the Academy's and warehouses apparently that is the only one they have. Well that's not what really made me mad. What really got me was what the fed ex delivery guy did. I live out in the middle of the woods, so I have a big cable across my driveway from tree to tree. It helps keep people out, especially when I work nights and have to sleep during the day. Well the fed ex guy came flying in the drive way and busted right through it. Straightened out both 1/2 eye bolts in the trees. Delivered the package and left. No apology note, no phone call, nothing at all to tell me they had destroyed my "gate". Maybe I'm overreacting, I don't know. But if i would have been home I probably would have punched his face in. Hopefully, in a few days i will look back on this and laugh. But as for tomorrow, I will still be nic free and there will be a few employees that will have to deal with my rage.

Day 16. Sorry for the long rant earlier. The fed ex guy came today and brought me a new cable and eyebolts. The shirt is getting shipped back free with a full refund. Everything managed to work out great!!

Lucas, Keep up the great work. Dont apologize for ranting man. Thats what this site is for. Read, get educated, meet some people, swap some numbers, and stay accountable. 23 years old and wise enough to shut the door on that crap. I am impressed. Keep your promise, bro. I quit with you Lucas. I will start looking for you on roll. Please do the same for me.
Ryan

Day 34 here and it feels great. I never would have thought I would have made it this far!! The rage and frustration has finally backed off and I finally feel normal again. Up til about day 25 or 27 I thought I was gonna be mad forever. I feel like Im back to my normal laid back self and maybe even calmer than when I dipped. I still have times when I get ill but it is controllable and not nearly as bad. The cravings have also backed off quite a bit. It seemed like in the early 20's days I wanted a dip worse than day 1, but that has definately calmed down now some. It feels like forever is no longer out of reach and I am so pumped to be spending my life free of dip. Just thought I would let everyone know how it was going and that it does get better. I quit again today, one day at a time.

Day 43 and still going strong. Been having a few cravings lately, seem strong but dont last long. Had someone offer me a whole sleeve of dip yesterday that didn't know I quit. I had no problem turning it down, but a little while later I was thinking about it harder than i should. I started having strong cravings and crazy thoughts, but then i thought back to some of the stories i have read on here and how some of you other guys have delt with triggers and cravings. It reall has helped to strengthen my quit. Also had a crazy dream a couple of weeks ago. Haven't had any dip dreams really since my quit but dreamed that I was in a store and buying a can. I opened my wallet and there was no cash. All of my credit cards and debit cards were gone. I had absolutely no way to pay for it. I was freaking out and trying everything to try and buy it. Finally i woke up, and was thankful it was just a dream. Thanks everyone for the support.

Nice work saying NO to the mother load the nic bitch was trying to tempt you with!!!! Life is better without dip!!!! One day at a time!!!!

Day 53. Just reflecting back some. Man it feels so good to be quit. Just so glad the rage is gone. That had to of.been the worse thing about this whole quit. Thanks everyone.
-
I quit again today, let me tell you why
Another can of dip, that I will never buy
I got fed up with dipping, relying on a can
I chose to finally quit, but I really needed a hand
I got online and searched, and found this KTC
Would they help me quit, could it really be?
I knew that it was time, and signed up right away
After just a little bit, I found out everyone was umm grey
So far it has helped, victory is mine!
I quit again today, one day at a time!
