Hey guys, King here with a brief introduction. I dipped for the first time my senior year of college to impress some of the folks I was hanging around. I would chew randomly here and there for the next four or five years, probably less than a can a month. In fact, I often had to toss cans because the dip resembled pencil shavings rather than dip before I would finish the can.The lyrics alone may make this the best intro I have ever read! Glad to see you make an intro, I've been following your posts in October. Keep posting up EDD and your gonna crush this. QLF with you today!
At any rate, life started to pick up a little, and I found (edit: thought I found) a way to handle it. Then it became fun to do camping, drinking, fishing, golfing, watching sports, playing cards, etc. Got married, had a kid. Dipping started to really pick up and about three years ago, I "escaped" with dip to the tune of half a can to a can a day. I've stopped a few times, because I never really grasped the addiction part of addiction and told myself I could handle just "slowing down" instead of quitting altogether. After reading a lot on KTC, I've found that I'm not the only one to have thought that they could control the addiction while using rather than the other way around, and for me this is incredibly empowering.
On day 8 right now and I have already learned a ton on KTC. I'm so jacked to be here, and pumped to get to share in the success of other quitters that just couldn't get it done on our own. I used to be afraid to admit that, but I know now that I cannot do this myself. I need the accountability and I need the brotherhood to make this work.
Sorry for the rambling but a couple more things before I go. First, the reason I chose KingNothing is the following verse spoke to me when I heard it recently, and affirmed that I was a shell of the person I wanted to be while using dip. Despite all of life's many blessings, I was basically a total loser with nothing but my can to keep me company:
"All the wants you waste
All the things youÂ’ve chased
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But thereÂ’s no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castleÂ’s crumbled
And youÂ’re left with just a name
WhereÂ’s your crown,
King Nothing?"
- Metallica (in case you have been living under a rock for the last 20 years)
Well that's all bullshit and in the past now. I'm quitting for me and my health, but also to be a better husband, dad to my kids, brother, son, etc.
Nic never did anything for me, and I will no longer do anything for nic.
Thanks all for creating the site and for the support each and every day. Quit with each of you all day today.

Bro you are in the right place and you have the right mindset. One day at a time you are going to love where you are going. In the meantime, remember the struggles, the fog, the craves... Because this is the misery that nicotine has brought to your life, and that you will never have to relive ever again.
If I can help with anything, shoot me an email. This quit will change your life in ways you never expected. Welcome aboard!
Thanks all for the support. I really haven't left the site except to sleep the last three or four days, and it has done wonders for my comprehension of what we battle everyday here. This is no freakin joke, life or death, you can only choose one. I have read hundreds of intros the last few days, some longtime quitters that have succumbed after 100, 200, 1000 days. It's crazy to think that after years of not touching nicotine, it can just rock our world after only one use. Some guys plan caves, others just get complacent, but every single one strays from the heart of this site (post roll, keep your promise). I will put every ounce of my being into not letting that happen to my quit, but just for today. Tomorrow I will again make the choice of living or dying.Great job king! Keep that attitude up brother and you will accomplish your goal. I'm with you so thankful I found this place , 202 days later would not be possible without ktc! Keep paying it forward, stay one step ahead! Quit with you today my friend!
Man am I glad I found this place. I know now, that even though I've only been "addicted" for a few years, I can never have just one more. This is my penance for allowing less than a can a month to turn into a can a day addiction. I'm lucky to have found this place when I did. Now I am in control of each and every day from here on out. I will exert said control with the accountability I am building here and the testicular fortitude I have lacked heretofore.
I am quit today.

Thanks Pab, Jim, and Rawls. If I don't jump in this thing all the way, I won't get there. It was easy to feed the addiction so that part didn't take much work. It's a b*tch to battle it everyday, but the battle itself is a win, so all the work put in is worth it.Your one bad ass mother fucker. 'oh yeah'
I've been reading cave stories for some reason today. The last two I read were Lumberjack Tim's and Cheezhead's. Both guys in June 2015, but Cheezhead had caved before. Cheezhead DESTROYED guys that caved in June 2015. LJT was humble, and spoke of rehabilitation and the need to be quit, etc. Well you know where LJT is today because he has most likely posted in your group's forum more than the rest of you combined, and he recently hit HOF. When was the last time you heard from Cheezhead?
Even the cave stories offer quit-hardening material. Guys like LJT realize what they've been offered here, and take it to heart. Guys like Cheezhead, well they don't. LJT comes to battle everyday and for 102 some odd days, his score sheet is clean, and while I don't know him personally, I would wager that Cheezhead is making love to that can right now.
I'm quit today with Pab, Jim, Rawls, LJT, October 2015, and all the rest of you guys (and gals) that continue to put your big boy (and girl) pants on every damn day take your lives back.

My wife and one of my kids just surprised me by showing up at work unannounced. Didn't have to scramble to hide any dip cups, rush to the bathroom to clean my mouth out, hide any cans, or freak out at them because they didn't give me enough advanced warning. Instead, I got to chat with them for several minutes about their morning, and plan for the afternoon, anxiety-free. This struggle is worth it, I'm in.Awesome King. Smells like freedom in here. That's a big win!
The quit life:I had to borrow this from 30isEnuff's intro. This could be my own personal Bill of Rights or something on this quest. Great stuff 30 and thanks for posting.
I have more time to learn and experience the world around me.
The world gets clearer with each passing day.
It is very easy to not dip because I posted roll Today and my word is good.
Integrity is mine. Honesty with myself and my family is mine.
Lying is not a thought anymore.
I missed a lot by being drunk on nicotine for so long. I cannot make up for the past, but I can live Today in the fullest way I know.
Thanksgiving is near. I am thankful for this site. (yes I am addicted to this site) It won't kill me. It won't steal from me. Every quitter here makes me stronger. Especially the ones who stay around.
If you are white-knucking your quit...keep quitting everyday. Just let it all go and lean into the fall. Close the door gently but securely. You are done, you are finished with the poison. Begin living your life, free. Learn to live with this world. It is all good.
Happy Thanksgiving Quitters.
Be well, be quit, behave.

I most certainly do Pab. I feel like I've wasted years enslaved to the can, but the past is the past. I'm here now, and I can't do anything about what's already happened.

Day 25 today, and I have to recount a mental conversation I had with myself this last weekend. I was thinking about the newest guys going through what everybody refers to as "the suck" for the first week or so. I can still vividly remember how bad those first few days were, and the complete lack of focus, energy, etc.'clap' 'clap' 'clap' 'clap' 'clap' 'clap' 'clap' 'clap' 'clap' 'clap' 'clap' 'clap' 'clap' 'clap' 'clap' 'clap'
My revelation this weekend, however, was that this is not the worst part. My fear of never having to go through the suck again is not as great as that feeling I had every time I bought a can and wondered if this was the can that would do me in. It's not as bad as that feeling after a "bender" the previous night and waking up to gums and teeth that hurt like hell. It's not as bad as that pit in my stomach every time I had an inflamed tastebud or cold sore and wondering if this was the beginning of the end. It's not as bad as that feeling of ditching my wife and kids, to go on some make believe errand to indulge in poison. It's not as bad as that feeling that I can no longer control this addiction.
Fear is still a very real part of my quit. Ironically, the fear has nothing to do with the quit, and everything to do with why I am quit. Fear, slavery, addiction, will no longer control me or my actions. I have worked too damn hard the last 25 days to willingly go back to those shitty feelings and emotions, only to allow slavery to regain its footing in my life. Fuck that. I'm quit.
BOOM. That's what I'm talking about. Way to go king. Keep it up.Quote from: KingNothingDay 25 today, and I have to recount a mental conversation I had with myself this last weekend.

Yesterday I had a tough day as far as my addiction went. It wasn't craves. I have had craves that literally brought me to my knees. That wasn't it. These were persistent thoughts...like a dip would taste great. If I have one I will be able to focus better. Why not? Just take my lumps and move on.
Guess what I pulled over and read KTC for almost an hour in a target parking lot. This is a constant reminder of the choices and actions we make. I choose to ignore those thoughts. I choose to honor my word. I put my quit above myselfish indulgence.
Make the right choice and embrace the hard choices. Those hard choices, may not pay off today or tomorrow, they will pay off in the long term. When you choose to reflect on the series of events that have happened you will realize why we do what we do here and how it pays off. I made it to post another +1, that is a huge vicotry no matter your day count.
Just. Keep. Going.Winning is great. And that is what you've been doing.
The last few days have been tough. My subconscious has returned the "glorifying" part of this addiction. As in, remember when driving used to be better with a dip? Remember when golf used to be better with a dip? Remember when being by yourself was better with a dip?
With the tools I have learned on this site though, I can make it. I promised the FUN bags and a bunch of other guys that today I wouldn't use it, so I'm not. What seems to kill the bad thoughts, is the idea that my life is NOT better with nicotine:
The drive wasn't any better. Remember the shavings all over your truck you dummy? Remember right after you put the dip in, the first few spits were kinda sticky? Remember how it stuck to the bottle and when you pulled the bottle away you had to scramble to not get slime on you? Remember how you had to try and hide the various cans in random places in the truck to avoid detection, and every time your wife got near your truck you freaked out because you didn't want her to find them?
Golf wasn't any better. Remember how you had to walk all the way off the green every time you needed to spit? Remember how the guys you played with got pissed because you were packing a freshy and it was your turn to hit? Remember how a blast from the sand would ruin a brand new chew and that was your biggest problem that day? Remember those young kids on the putting green that saw you with a big nasty wad in your mouth?
Being by myself wasn't any better. Remember how you basically had an affair with a stupid can? Remember when you would sit down after a long day and your wife left, and you were king of the world with your stupid face stuffed? Remember when your little boy would come out of his room because he was scared, and instead of comforting him, you got frustrated and hurried him back to his room so you could continue dipping "in peace"? Remember leaving the door to the garage open so your wife couldn't sneak up on you? Remember having to scramble to clean everything up when she got home early?
Fuck all of this bullshit. This isn't living. This isn't glorious or romantic. This is pure deranged bullshit. You threw years away enslaved by it. I can smell your rancid breath when you try to whisper to me. You can get dressed up all you want, wear something slutty, put on some smell good, and get me all sorts of drunk, but you will not take advantage of me any more. Turn out the lights and don't let the door smack you upside the ass as you leave.
The last few days have been tough, but not as tough as my brother going through chemo and radiation on his head. Not as tough as losing body parts to cancer. NOT NEARLY AS FUCKING TOUGH AS THE LAST THING THAT HAPPENS TO ME ON THIS EARTH IS HAVING ONE OF MY KIDS SCREAM "DADDY DON'T GO" because I was too fucking selfish to be done with it.
Just. Keep. Going. It will get better.
Good share, King. You have the right mindset. You're killing this quit and there is no need to stop now. Keep adding up the little victories... one day, one hour, one minute. Keep it up King. Proud to be quit with you todayQuote from: KingNothingJust. Keep. Going.Winning is great. And that is what you've been doing.

I know... it sounds crazy. One day at a time, these bullshit moments you've been facing will turn to reminders of the years of losses - turned to years of wins.
You are doing great dude. Glad you decided to update this intro - you'll look back at this and be pissed at what you let nicotine do to you, and celebrate the freedom that you earned.
One day at a time.

Your intro updates are great reminders to all of us about the cunning abilities of the Nic Bitch. We all have our weak moments, but our strength is evident when we are able to recognize the lies for what they are and power through all the bullshit. Your attitude towards quitting and your hatred for your addiction are spot on and as long as you stay focused you are going to be successful.

That is some strong smelling quit right there. Referencing Tom and Jenny's story always gives me pause. When I read that story the first time, roughly 67 days ago.

I can smell your rancid breath when you try to whisper to me. You can get dressed up all you want, wear something slutty, put on some smell good, and get me all sorts of drunk, but you will not take advantage of me any more. Turn out the lights and don't let the door smack you upside the ass as you leave.
The last few days have been tough, but not as tough as my brother going through chemo and radiation on his head. Not as tough as losing body parts to cancer. NOT NEARLY AS FUCKING TOUGH AS THE LAST THING THAT HAPPENS TO ME ON THIS EARTH IS HAVING ONE OF MY KIDS SCREAM "DADDY DON'T GO" because I was too fucking selfish to be done with it.
Just. Keep. Going. It will get better.
I know... it sounds crazy. One day at a time, these bullshit moments you've been facing will turn to reminders of the years of losses - turned to years of wins.
You are doing great dude. Glad you decided to update this intro - you'll look back at this and be pissed at what you let nicotine do to you, and celebrate the freedom that you earned.
One day at a time.

Great post the other day! I can relate to so much of what you said. The Nic Bitch has been playing the same mind games with me. It feels like half the battle is just recognizing that it's a mind game, that way you can state clearly and emphatically that, "No, bitch! You will not get me today! I'm done with your skanky ass!"Great mindset Ryan. Keep it going, it has come in waves the first month for me, so keep your guard up. Quit on!
Stay strong and quit on!
I've been married to my wife for a little over 6 years. Last night was the worst night of my marriage. The impetus? This site. This literally came out of her mouth: "I wish you would just chew. Just start chewing again. This isn't worth it. You're trying to hide the fact that you're quitting from me." WHAT? A license to chew? You're telling me you're fine if I start chewing again and you're okay dealing with the consequences if I start again??? You would rather me chew than quit with a bunch of strangers???Nice win King. I know just how you feel. My wife also said to me "just go buy a can. Fights with wife actually foiled many of my quit attempts. Not this time. This time I quit FOR ME. And it sounds like you have too. Keep killing it man.
Fuck that ma'am. I don't give a damn who gives me a license to chew. My wife, kids, boss, you fuckers, etc. I'm done. I've had a shitty mouth the last few days, and wanna know why? I'm coming to the realization that I will never touch that shit again. That worm dirt, nicotine-infused, cat turd? I don't need it. I could have taken about nineteen chews so far today and wanna know how many I've had??? Zero. In fact, it's practically -5. Not only did I not even consider it, but my quit was strengthened in the biggest way today. I don't need it. I don't want it. I QUIT FOR TODAY. You got a problem with it? File it in the cylindrical filing cabinet.
I am done. Not one single person in this world, the love of my life included, will give me a license to chew ever again. I'm done. I don't need it. I'm not hiding a damn thing. 31 days ago, I quit, and that's the end of the story. I love my wife and I love my kids, but I've "quit" for them before, and started again when I reasoned that I was a better husband, father, son, etc. when I chewed. I'm not that guy any more. I haven't had a dip in 31 days, and I certainly am not going to throw that away now because of a fight with my wife. I have never been more quit in my life. I don't even feel the urge despite the permission. I'm quit for me and only me. Hopefully my wife and kids benefit from that, but I'm quit because I don't want to die.
Thanks all, this site has saved my life. I would have been begging for this "permission" before. I'm not any more. I never needed dip. I thought I did, but I didn't. It didn't relax me, it didn't take away any stress, it didn't make me feel any better. It fucked with my psyche, but for 31 straight days, it has not. I have won this battle for 31 days in a row and I feel like a million bucks. Freedom is where I'm at. I choose freedom and it's awesome.
There was many a squabble in 2014 when I was quitting and on this site a lot. It got in the way of family stuff. I filed it away as short term loss, long term gain. My wife watched as I couldn't sit and watch an entire show on TV. Or a rented movie. I started projects and didn't finish them. It took a while but as WTW says, I could sense it getting better. Eventually it's easier to notice how good it is until one day everything falls in place and you realize how complete you feel. The key is to keep posting roll and keeping that promise. Quitting gave me strength and courage to improve other areas of my life as well.Quote from: KingNothingI've been married to my wife for a little over 6 years.

Thanks guys. Needed the support on this one. I know I'm doing this for me, and I will continue to battle everyday, things like that just throw a wrench in the process. Still no nicotine and I'm proud to say this is the longest I've ever gone without chewing since I started. I'm also proud that it's just a drop in the bucket.Quote from: Its_Got2HappenThere was many a squabble in 2014 when I was quitting and on this site a lot. It got in the way of family stuff.

You gotta remember that it's tough on anyone that lives in the same house. Life was easier for your wife before you quit. The dipping guy was the dude she married. Not the dip aspect, but the way you were when you dipped. It's frustrating for her to see you struggle. It's also frustrating that life is not as easy for her as it used to be. When she reaches the tipping point, stupid shit comes out that she doesn't mean. She needs to know that this is the beginning. It will get better but it takes time. I just read Worktowin's 300 day post, you read and commented on it. She needs to understand you're a tenth of the way there. The struggle is so worth it. Keep that at the forefront. Every day quitting is infinitely better than another day using. And it will be easier with the support of your wife in your corner. Regardless, you have the right mindset, screw everyone else, you're doing it for you. Keep it going King, +1s are the only way to enjoy what you desire.
Good win last night. This is why quitting for others never works. This would have given you an out had you wanted one. I'm proud of you. Your wife will appreciate this transition as she looks back and realizes you became a better husband in the process.Quote from: Done4MeThanks guys. Needed the support on this one.

King my friend, don't forget the rage. If anything like mine , after 226 days it still hits me right in the nuts occasionally, but not as often or as bad. Be the man I know you are, no matter how pissed she makes you or you make her grab her give her a big olé kiss apologize and say no matter what hon I love you and my kids and plan on being in y'all life for a long time.

King, I really admire your dedication. You have a strong character that is infectious. Though I cannot relate on the marriage aspect, I relate because I am quit. We all have the same enemy on this site. We may have a different number of quit days under our belt, but believe me you are an inspiration to me. Not only me but I'm sure everyone else has drawn inspiration from you in one aspect or another. You're killing it here. You know what it takes man. I can't help but applaud you. Keep it going King.

Fuck that ma'am. I don't give a damn who gives me a license to chew. My wife, kids, boss, you fuckers, etc. I'm done. I've had a shitty mouth the last few days, and wanna know why? I'm coming to the realization that I will never touch that shit again. That worm dirt, nicotine-infused, cat turd? I don't need it. I could have taken about nineteen chews so far today and wanna know how many I've had??? Zero. In fact, it's practically -5. Not only did I not even consider it, but my quit was strengthened in the biggest way today. I don't need it. I don't want it. I QUIT FOR TODAY. You got a problem with it? File it in the cylindrical filing cabinet.
I am done. Not one single person in this world, the love of my life included, will give me a license to chew ever again. I'm done. I don't need it. I'm not hiding a damn thing. 31 days ago, I quit, and that's the end of the story. I love my wife and I love my kids, but I've "quit" for them before, and started again when I reasoned that I was a better husband, father, son, etc. when I chewed. I'm not that guy any more. I haven't had a dip in 31 days, and I certainly am not going to throw that away now because of a fight with my wife. I have never been more quit in my life. I don't even feel the urge despite the permission. I'm quit for me and only me. Hopefully my wife and kids benefit from that, but I'm quit because I don't want to die.
Thanks all, this site has saved my life. I would have been begging for this "permission" before. I'm not any more. I never needed dip. I thought I did, but I didn't. It didn't relax me, it didn't take away any stress, it didn't make me feel any better. It fucked with my psyche, but for 31 straight days, it has not. I have won this battle for 31 days in a row and I feel like a million bucks. Freedom is where I'm at. I choose freedom and it's awesome.
You gotta remember that it's tough on anyone that lives in the same house. Life was easier for your wife before you quit. The dipping guy was the dude she married. Not the dip aspect, but the way you were when you dipped. It's frustrating for her to see you struggle. It's also frustrating that life is not as easy for her as it used to be. When she reaches the tipping point, stupid shit comes out that she doesn't mean. She needs to know that this is the beginning. It will get better but it takes time. I just read Worktowin's 300 day post, you read and commented on it. She needs to understand you're a tenth of the way there. The struggle is so worth it. Keep that at the forefront. Every day quitting is infinitely better than another day using. And it will be easier with the support of your wife in your corner. Regardless, you have the right mindset, screw everyone else, you're doing it for you. Keep it going King, +1s are the only way to enjoy what you desire.
I spent a shitload of time on this site for several hundred days. I did it because I needed to in order to build my commitment. You need to do whatever you need to do in order to protect yourself. That being said, you have a commitment to be the man that you are with your family. In my book - the two go hand in hand. I don't want to see some other dude spending my money and banging my wife as a result of bad decisions on my part that eat my jaw off... so I made a decision to own my decisions rather than letting my decisions own me. You are doing the same.
Dude I promise you... this gets so much better. You are going to love your life. And your wife will too.
Go buy her some flowers on the way home tonight as a thanks for being on your quit team. Flowers go a long way with the girl crowd.
You've got this. You are a leader on this site. Others look to you to set the bar higher, and you are.
Proud to quit with you today King and especially proud to be a shocktober fun bag with you......Quote from: worktowinKing, I really admire your dedication. You have a strong character that is infectious. Though I cannot relate on the marriage aspect, I relate because I am quit. We all have the same enemy on this site. We may have a different number of quit days under our belt, but believe me you are an inspiration to me. Not only me but I'm sure everyone else has drawn inspiration from you in one aspect or another. You're killing it here. You know what it takes man. I can't help but applaud you. Keep it going King. Proud of you and I'm damn proud to be quit with you today.Quote from: pab1964One day at a time. Just remember that. Every day you give your promise, and you are obviously a man of your word.Quote from: KingNothingKing my friend, don't forget the rage. If anything like mine , after 226 days it still hits me right in the nuts occasionally, but not as often or as bad. Be the man I know you are, no matter how pissed she makes you or you make her grab her give her a big olé kiss apologize and say no matter what hon I love you and my kids and plan on being in y'all life for a long time. I did this shit and I will clean it up! Quit on!Quote from: Done4MeThanks guys. Needed the support on this one. I know I'm doing this for me, and I will continue to battle everyday, things like that just throw a wrench in the process. Still no nicotine and I'm proud to say this is the longest I've ever gone without chewing since I started. I'm also proud that it's just a drop in the bucket.Quote from: Its_Got2HappenThere was many a squabble in 2014 when I was quitting and on this site a lot. It got in the way of family stuff. I filed it away as short term loss, long term gain. My wife watched as I couldn't sit and watch an entire show on TV. Or a rented movie. I started projects and didn't finish them. It took a while but as WTW says, I could sense it getting better. Eventually it's easier to notice how good it is until one day everything falls in place and you realize how complete you feel. The key is to keep posting roll and keeping that promise. Quitting gave me strength and courage to improve other areas of my life as well.Quote from: KingNothingI've been married to my wife for a little over 6 years. Last night was the worst night of my marriage. The impetus? This site. This literally came out of her mouth: "I wish you would just chew. Just start chewing again. This isn't worth it. You're trying to hide the fact that you're quitting from me." WHAT? A license to chew? You're telling me you're fine if I start chewing again and you're okay dealing with the consequences if I start again??? You would rather me chew than quit with a bunch of strangers???Nice win King. I know just how you feel. My wife also said to me "just go buy a can. Fights with wife actually foiled many of my quit attempts. Not this time. This time I quit FOR ME. And it sounds like you have too. Keep killing it man.

You guys are awesome and I truly believe this site is saving my life. I could not have done this on my own, and I thank each and every one of you for not only strengthening my quit, but holding me accountable every day. It would have been much easier to go back to dipping my head off every day, but often times the hardest decisions are also the best ones. I am no longer a slave, and that feels amazing.Wood.... Straight up...... Wood!
I love your drive brother it is awesome keep it up!!Quote from: KingNothingYou guys are awesome and I truly believe this site is saving my life.

Rawls 267
I had an interesting and unexpected event happen last night. My wife and I took her grandpa out to dinner at a nicer place to eat. We were sitting outside on a big patio area, and having a drink with her grandpa as he reminisced about the mine he used to work in 72 years ago (seriously). Anyway, we're chatting and having dinner and I see the waitress bring out this mondo crab crusted steak to a table about 15 feet away from ours. Not thinking to much of it at this point, but about five minutes later I look over and the guy that ordered it was just about done with it.Nice post KingNothing,
Upon further review, this guy has a can in the pocket of his shirt. This guy has cow-boy written all over him. Too tight Wranglers, cow-boy boots, big fluffy mustache, buckle, etc. He finishes up the mouth-watering steak by throwing in a lip.
For the last 40 days I've been conditioned to hate dip and the effects and all this stuff, but last night my mind started wandering. I had no desire to dip last night, and the thought never crossed my mind to go back to slavery. However, I did have that sneaky nostalgic thought, "remember when you used to be able to throw in a fatty after a big dinner and a nice beer during these glorious summer months, etc., etc. etc." Eventually I snapped out of it, but this stuff is still trying to play tricks on me. I'm only 40 days in so I expect this kind of stuff to happen, but it makes me realize why I need this site still. In previous stoppages, last night would have been more than enough ammunition to cave and "really enjoy a good dip." This site has me razor-focused on NAFAR. Not one dip, not one can. Addicts can't go back.
The last few days, several people in October and other groups have stopped posting roll because "they never think about it except when they're on here" or "they don't even have craves any more". I fully did not intend to go to a nicer restaurant last night and catch myself reminiscing back after watching a dude pack his lip right at the dinner table. I had this site, I'd been on several times yesterday reading and posting, so it was easy to shut down the thoughts while they were still merely whims instead of letting them explode into full blown hands-shaking craves. I also knew I had a pocketful of numbers if I really couldn't turn the tide.
This has definitely gotten easier over the last 40 days, but nicotine doesn't take a vacation from trying to get under my skin. At least not yet. Quit with each of you BAQ's today.
Edit: had to add the hyphens in cow-boy as it tried to use the emoticon instead of the word.
Good stuff KN. What's sad is that guy didn't even get to enjoy the steak.Quote from: KingNothingI had an interesting and unexpected event happen last night.

Spot on. To those who "don't ever think about it" or "I only think about it on here" They are just fooling themselves. The odd crave will come.
Just being a part of this site and making that promise everyday have gotten me past a lot of foolish thoughts. (Even recently) Its easier to stay quit when you have friends here that we are accountable to. Keep going man. You are doing great!
Those craves, those whispers from that whore ... they are happening because she senses STRENGTH in you, and it scares her! She can feel that foot on her throat, and she'll try anything to get you to loosen up. Keep that toe firmly planted, because you've slammed that door shut every day you make that promise here! Keep ever vigilant KN, she's very, very sneaky. Hedge your bets just like you're doing ... by posting roll, texting bros and repeating the words NAFAR as many times as you need to. Share those sneaky thoughts and victories with your wife too bud. I went through similar things in the beginning, and I flipped it by pouring out every story about quit I could to my wife. Eventually, it must've sounded like her shoe-shopping stories to me ... and she left me to my quit website! Nice win bro, and thanks for punching the nic-bitch in the gunt for all of us.Quote from: rdadGood stuff KN.

I still find my self getting craves at the most random times. My first trip to the movies was tough. I always would put in a dip at the movies. I didn't even think about that being at trigger. That's why we have to remain vigilant. This shit can blindside you from nowhere. Happy to quit with you today.
P.S. Because I have to see it.... cowboy

What's sad is that guy didn't even get to enjoy the steak.Quote from: KingNothingI had an interesting and unexpected event happen last night. My wife and I took her grandpa out to dinner at a nicer place to eat. We were sitting outside on a big patio area, and having a drink with her grandpa as he reminisced about the mine he used to work in 72 years ago (seriously). Anyway, we're chatting and having dinner and I see the waitress bring out this mondo crab crusted steak to a table about 15 feet away from ours. Not thinking to much of it at this point, but about five minutes later I look over and the guy that ordered it was just about done with it.Nice post KingNothing,
Upon further review, this guy has a can in the pocket of his shirt. This guy has cow-boy written all over him. Too tight Wranglers, cow-boy boots, big fluffy mustache, buckle, etc. He finishes up the mouth-watering steak by throwing in a lip.
For the last 40 days I've been conditioned to hate dip and the effects and all this stuff, but last night my mind started wandering. I had no desire to dip last night, and the thought never crossed my mind to go back to slavery. However, I did have that sneaky nostalgic thought, "remember when you used to be able to throw in a fatty after a big dinner and a nice beer during these glorious summer months, etc., etc. etc." Eventually I snapped out of it, but this stuff is still trying to play tricks on me. I'm only 40 days in so I expect this kind of stuff to happen, but it makes me realize why I need this site still. In previous stoppages, last night would have been more than enough ammunition to cave and "really enjoy a good dip." This site has me razor-focused on NAFAR. Not one dip, not one can. Addicts can't go back.
The last few days, several people in October and other groups have stopped posting roll because "they never think about it except when they're on here" or "they don't even have craves any more". I fully did not intend to go to a nicer restaurant last night and catch myself reminiscing back after watching a dude pack his lip right at the dinner table. I had this site, I'd been on several times yesterday reading and posting, so it was easy to shut down the thoughts while they were still merely whims instead of letting them explode into full blown hands-shaking craves. I also knew I had a pocketful of numbers if I really couldn't turn the tide.
This has definitely gotten easier over the last 40 days, but nicotine doesn't take a vacation from trying to get under my skin. At least not yet. Quit with each of you BAQ's today.
Edit: had to add the hyphens in cow-boy as it tried to use the emoticon instead of the word.
Spot on. To those who "don't ever think about it" or "I only think about it on here" They are just fooling themselves. The odd crave will come.
Just being a part of this site and making that promise everyday have gotten me past a lot of foolish thoughts. (Even recently) Its easier to stay quit when you have friends here that we are accountable to. Keep going man. You are doing great!
I still find my self getting craves at the most random times. My first trip to the movies was tough. I always would put in a dip at the movies. I didn't even think about that being at trigger. That's why we have to remain vigilant. This shit can blindside you from nowhere. Happy to quit with you today.
P.S. Because I have to see it.... cowboy
Day 50 today. It comes with some good news and not so good news. First the good news, here's a list of things I have done in the last 50 without dip:That's what we're here for King. That is why we come here every day and make a promise. I'm right there with you... without this site and everyone here I would have never made it. So I would like to thank you for your continued support around here. Safe to say you've helped people not give in as well.
Played golf
Hit a bucket of balls
Taken a shower
Taken a dump
Worked
Cut the grass
Washed the truck
Moved
Worked in the garage
Drove
Drank with buddies
Stayed up late
Watched a movie
Watched a baseball game
Ran errands
Other than camping, fishing, and hunting, I've pretty much run the gambit of life activities in the last 50 days, all without dip. For 50 straight days, I've earned my freedom.
The not so good news is that day 49 was my worst day since the first week. It started off on the wrong foot, and never got better. Suffice it to say that it was stressful start to finish at work, so by the time I was done, I was fried. On the way home, I caught myself staring a second longer at the c-store. Not consciously, and when I caught myself, I thought how dumb that would be. Then my mouth started hurting, and continued to do so for a couple hours. Right in the gumline. What the hell? Then I got home, and the disgruntledness continued when wife was redlining as well.
I have to admit that throwing in the towel crossed my mind for a few seconds. I don't need this grief. I don't need to put myself through this everyday. I can quit quitting right now. Then I remembered the speech by Admiral McRaven at the UT Austin commencement in 2014 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxBQLFLei70) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxBQLFLei70%29). Don't ever ring the bell. I will not give up. I have too much riding on this to ever ring the bell and give into a craving. I have come too far in the last 50 days to succumb. I also posted a promise yesterday morning that I would not give in, and that promise to strangers (not so strangers really) on the internet fueled the fire to keep pushing, to keep moving forward. I would never want a brother on here to feel let down because I could not control my own actions. Caving is not an option because I owe too much to myself, my family, and my KTC brethren.
At 50 days, I want to thank each and every one of you and KTC as a whole. I would never have made it half this far without the accountability and brotherhood this site has to offer. I am a different person than I was 50 days ago, and that person is free from the chains of slavery that had slowly knotted themselves around my entire mind, spirit, and body. Quit on brothers, and continue that strut down the path to freedom, you (and I) have earned it.
Outstanding post king. I cannot believe how much that reminds me of.....well me. I have to go back to my intro around that 50 day mark. Keep up the solid work.Quote from: KingNothingDay 50 today.

And also - Congrats on making it through those triggers dip free.
Proud of you today King! Keep it up!
Take a look at what made up your first 50 days. Each one of those +1's means something different, a new success or challenge faced. Be proud of every single one of them, they are like a merit badge. You learned something valuable each day. Never forget what you had to do or struggled with to earn each +1. Those +1's are creating a larger and stronger foundation for your new life.+1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1

KingNothing. Thanks for your encouraging words to myself and others on here. Thank you for quitting and allowing myself and others to quit with you odaat. Quit on.No "allowing" anything here my brother. I quit with you every damn day and it's a privilege to do so. The same goes for any quitter that is willing to endure personal struggle for the betterment of himself or herself. ODAAT and this site work. Keep it up EHC, you're killing it.
There are those who deserve...Well done!Thanks Rawls, you've always got something awesome and inspirational to latch onto. I appreciate your support and all that you do on KTC!

Keep paying it forward! You're a seasoned vet in my book sir! It's awesome all the help you are giving out daily and for that my friend, Damn proud of you and a huge thank you!this right here!!!!
There is no doubt in my mind that without this place I wouldn't have made it this far. I love my wife and kids more than anything in this world, but I've never been able to do this strictly for them. I needed this site and you crazy mfers to keep the shield impenetrable.

I thank you for helping me understand how to really quit. You've helped me decipher addict speak a lot in my short time here. I really appreciate it and I am pretty pumped up about seeing you hit the HOF in a few days. B)B
I'm in this thing for the long haul. No nic for me today and if I'm alive in the morning, I promise to promise the same again tomorrow. Thanks all, your support has likely saved my life.

I think the long haul is what this is all about. We need to make as many connections that we can with the great quitters here.
I quit with you today. Don't really care if you have a crown....

"All the wants you wasteYou are definitely the King of Quit. I am proud to walk next to you on this journey for our health and happiness.
All the things you've chased
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
Where's your crown,
King Nothing?"
"War" is a song by Edwin Starr that became popular as a counterculture rebuke of the Vietnam War. I was listening to the song today and it struck me how easily the lyrics carried over to the "war" we wage everyday. By simply inserting "nic" instead of "war" into the song lyrics, here is how it reads:Catchy little tune. I'd dance to it.
"Nic, huh yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, oh hoh, oh
Nic huh yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it again y'all
Nic, huh good God
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
Oh, nic, I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
Nic means tears to thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go off to fight and lose their lives
I said
Nic, huh good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, just say it again
Nic whoa Lord
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
Nic, it ain't nothin' but a heartbreak
Nic, friend only to the undertaker
Oh nic, is an enemy to all mankind
The thought of nic blows my mind
Nic has caused unrest within the younger generation
Induction, then destruction who wants to die
Nic, good God, y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it, say it, say it
Nic, uh huh, yeah, huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
Nic, it ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker
Nic, it's got one friend that's the undertaker
Oh, nic has shattered many young man's dreams
Made him disabled bitter and mean
Life is much too short and precious to spend fighting these days
Nic can't give life it can only take it away, ooh
Nic, huh, good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it again
Nic, whoa, Lord
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
Nic, it ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker
Nic, friend only to the undertaker"
Quit on amigos, nic ain't got nothing on us.
I am inspired by your passion. I'm on day 4 right now. I can't wait to get through the fog and be rid of this stuff. Way to go manThanks man I truly appreciate that. Truth is, you guys inspire the hell out of me with your grit to power through. Sometimes I forget what those first few days were like and you guys help to remind all of us why we're here.
Congrats on 2nd Floor King.Congrats on 200 kingno!!

Congrats on the 200.Nice. Each milestone gets a little sweeter dude.
Congrats on another Milestone, keep crushing it daily.Quote from: Cope30Congrats on the 200.Nice. Each milestone gets a little sweeter dude.
Well done.
Thanks all for the nice messages. This place has given me so much, and I am forever grateful for it. Bad ass vets like Pinched and W2W that continue to educate the younger credo daily is truly inspirational, and makes me want to continue to do the same.TRUTH - quit veterans need new quitters just as bas as the new quitters need veterans. I can honestly say that now that my quit is in the 900s there are days when you just don't need to post roll because you are quit; what scares me in that is separation leads to anxiety and that can lead to a cave. Yes I myself have missed posting roll a couple of times, but never because I was so quit I did not need KTC. I am no longer afraid of quitting but I am not mentally ready to take those next steps on my own, so I will keep the training wheels on post roll every day.
Thanks to everyone. Bet your ass I'll be back for 201 tomorrow.

"Remember how you had to try and hide the various cans in random places in the truck to avoid detection, and every time your wife got near your truck you freaked out because you didn't want her to find them?"Man, King...
"Being by myself wasn't any better. Remember how you basically had an affair with a stupid can? Remember when you would sit down after a long day and your wife left, and you were king of the world with your stupid face stuffed?
"Remember when your little boy would come out of his room because he was scared, and instead of comforting him, you got frustrated and hurried him back to his room so you could continue dipping "in peace"?"
"Remember leaving the door to the garage open so your wife couldn't sneak up on you? Remember having to scramble to clean everything up when she got home early?"
Damn that feels like so long ago now, I guess it was.

Had to come back to these. Times can change quickly if we change 'em, huh?

Congrats on 1yr my man. Great achievement. One BAQ here folksHey kingno, Badass quit to 1 year and beyond.
Congrats on the year King! Your encouragement and insightful advice have helped many in their quit, including myself. I know I will continue to see you active here and kicking the nic bitch's ass. I debated on not writing a HOF speech and just linking mine to yours (since I basically plagiarized you in my intro), but I think I will spew some thoughts when the day comes. In the meantime, ODAAT and Freedom brother.Quote from: JGlavCongrats on 1yr my man. Great achievement. One BAQ here folksHey kingno, Badass quit to 1 year and beyond.

Just. Keep. Going.Man. Looking back at how frustrated and hopeless I was a mere year ago after giving this stuff up. I can't believe how much I coveted the slavery. Nicotine is incredible in how crafty it is in keeping you addicted. This person that posted this last year no longer exists. I am so happy to say that now. I was so worried about it when I started here, but I look back on it now and realize how pathetic I was to be this ^^^ controlled by a poisonous weed in a can.
The last few days have been tough. My subconscious has returned the "glorifying" part of this addiction. As in, remember when driving used to be better with a dip? Remember when golf used to be better with a dip? Remember when being by yourself was better with a dip?
With the tools I have learned on this site though, I can make it. I promised the FUN bags and a bunch of other guys that today I wouldn't use it, so I'm not. What seems to kill the bad thoughts, is the idea that my life is NOT better with nicotine:
The drive wasn't any better. Remember the shavings all over your truck you dummy? Remember right after you put the dip in, the first few spits were kinda sticky? Remember how it stuck to the bottle and when you pulled the bottle away you had to scramble to not get slime on you? Remember how you had to try and hide the various cans in random places in the truck to avoid detection, and every time your wife got near your truck you freaked out because you didn't want her to find them?
Golf wasn't any better. Remember how you had to walk all the way off the green every time you needed to spit? Remember how the guys you played with got pissed because you were packing a freshy and it was your turn to hit? Remember how a blast from the sand would ruin a brand new chew and that was your biggest problem that day? Remember those young kids on the putting green that saw you with a big nasty wad in your mouth?
Being by myself wasn't any better. Remember how you basically had an affair with a stupid can? Remember when you would sit down after a long day and your wife left, and you were king of the world with your stupid face stuffed? Remember when your little boy would come out of his room because he was scared, and instead of comforting him, you got frustrated and hurried him back to his room so you could continue dipping "in peace"? Remember leaving the door to the garage open so your wife couldn't sneak up on you? Remember having to scramble to clean everything up when she got home early?
Fuck all of this bullshit. This isn't living. This isn't glorious or romantic. This is pure deranged bullshit. You threw years away enslaved by it. I can smell your rancid breath when you try to whisper to me. You can get dressed up all you want, wear something slutty, put on some smell good, and get me all sorts of drunk, but you will not take advantage of me any more. Turn out the lights and don't let the door smack you upside the ass as you leave.
The last few days have been tough, but not as tough as my brother going through chemo and radiation on his head. Not as tough as losing body parts to cancer. NOT NEARLY AS FUCKING TOUGH AS THE LAST THING THAT HAPPENS TO ME ON THIS EARTH IS HAVING ONE OF MY KIDS SCREAM "DADDY DON'T GO" because I was too fucking selfish to be done with it.
Just. Keep. Going. It will get better.

No Excuse To Cave - NONE!
I don't know Todd, other than what I've read in his intro. His story is inspiring. His story made me cry.
If I ever feel life has given me an excuse to cave, I'm going to come here and read this, again.
Whew where to begin, well brothers and sisters today should be a joyous day 7th floor with 2 trips around the sun to follow and not to be overshadowed by too many other events right. Well, what I am about to follow up with is a warning my way to pay it forward a way for me to find something positive out of what I have found out. A way to reinforce to those that think they are cured and that they may be able to try a dance with their mistress/Reaper... This is a message to the vets as well as newbies it's not over. This isn't written for sympathy or pity I knew that this was a possibility when I thought I was a tough guy with my lip packed full of death.
Friday 3-13-15 a day I will never forget, I had a colonoscopy and yep you guessed it CANCER located close to where small and large intestines come together... I was a bad ass I didn't need a spitter I gutted it this pseudo-badge of courage is probably the culprit.
Funny what goes through your head when you get that kind of news first initial shock...followed up with panic, fear then sadness. It finally really hit me Sunday a.m. I broke down the thoughts that I may not get to see my wife again, smell her hair, see her smile, hear her laugh, miss her sarcasm...not getting to see my son play sports, graduate and see him go through life not getting to be a Grandpa...Yep all those moments be shared with others and not me. I took a walk down memory lane yesterdayÂ…have I put enough away for my family, what have I left for a legacy, have I given more than I have taken, will I be remembered or just another UST statistic... All that shit goes through your head...I am sure that are a lot more emotions to follow.
Today I am up and going I have shit to do before I go for surgery. I have to use all my tools that I have acquired from KTC and apply them moving forward. THIS DOES NOT GIVE ME THE RIGHT OR EXCUSE TO CHEW! This isn't going to be an I, it will be a WE, brothers and sisters from KTC, friends and family taking this head on one day at a time. I am absolutely impressed with the men and women of KTC who have already started pumping out support....THANK YOU.
So if any of you still have friends dippin tell them this if you dont have what it takes to quit nicotine you are gonna be TOO big of a pussy for chemo. Dying is easy its the living that is hard got to dig deep everyday and there would be no way in hell I could do this on my own. If it werent for the support of my wife and family, the support i get daily from the members this site and the people I have in my corner locally. I would have been consumed by this cancer shit. I have already lived through two you only have 6 months left.
Well it appears that it has been awhile since I have put in an update. I had double pneumonia that landed me in the hospital for a week...then home health for a week giving me very strong antibiotics. After a week of that the nausea and pain were enough I woke up on a Monday morning and fired everyone. I called the VA and asked to be put on hospice. Hospice has been working with me to get me under control as far as pain and nausea go. I have been puking and dry heaving for days so finally last night they hooked me up to a morphine drip and a Tordol drip subQ. they have also discovered that I have chemo induced thrush from my mouth to my stomach so another obstacle to overcome.
I also carry a BRAF mutation with in the cancer war is like trying fight fires with gasoline. So I am on the hospice pony and just trying to ride whatever time I have left in relative comfort. So just trying to take it easy.
Once again just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has been on this ride with me, I also wanted to say if you text or email and I dont respond right away please dont take it personal there are days that just making it to tomorrow is the best I can do.
thanks

This isn't written for sympathy or pity I knew that this was a possibility when I thought I was a tough guy with my lip packed full of death.
Friday 3-13-15 a day I will never forget, I had a colonoscopy and yep you guessed it CANCER located close to where small and large intestines come together... I was a bad ass I didn't need a spitter I gutted it this pseudo-badge of courage is probably the culprit.
Funny what goes through your head when you get that kind of news first initial shock...followed up with panic, fear then sadness. It finally really hit me Sunday a.m. I broke down the thoughts that I may not get to see my wife again, smell her hair, see her smile, hear her laugh, miss her sarcasm...not getting to see my son play sports, graduate and see him go through life not getting to be a Grandpa...Yep all those moments be shared with others and not me. I took a walk down memory lane yesterdayÂ…have I put enough away for my family, what have I left for a legacy, have I given more than I have taken, will I be remembered or just another UST statistic... All that shit goes through your head...I am sure that are a lot more emotions to follow.
Today I am up and going I have shit to do before I go for surgery. I have to use all my tools that I have acquired from KTC and apply them moving forward. THIS DOES NOT GIVE ME THE RIGHT OR EXCUSE TO CHEW! This isn't going to be an I, it will be a WE, brothers and sisters from KTC, friends and family taking this head on one day at a time. I am absolutely impressed with the men and women of KTC who have already started pumping out support....THANK YOU.Quote from: traumagnetSo if any of you still have friends dippin tell them this if you dont have what it takes to quit nicotine you are gonna be TOO big of a pussy for chemo. Dying is easy its the living that is hard got to dig deep everyday and there would be no way in hell I could do this on my own. If it werent for the support of my wife and family, the support i get daily from the members this site and the people I have in my corner locally. I would have been consumed by this cancer shit. I have already lived through two you only have 6 months left.Quote from: traumagnetWell it appears that it has been awhile since I have put in an update. I had double pneumonia that landed me in the hospital for a week...then home health for a week giving me very strong antibiotics. After a week of that the nausea and pain were enough I woke up on a Monday morning and fired everyone. I called the VA and asked to be put on hospice. Hospice has been working with me to get me under control as far as pain and nausea go. I have been puking and dry heaving for days so finally last night they hooked me up to a morphine drip and a Tordol drip subQ. they have also discovered that I have chemo induced thrush from my mouth to my stomach so another obstacle to overcome.
I also carry a BRAF mutation with in the cancer war is like trying fight fires with gasoline. So I am on the hospice pony and just trying to ride whatever time I have left in relative comfort. So just trying to take it easy.
Once again just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has been on this ride with me, I also wanted to say if you text or email and I dont respond right away please dont take it personal there are days that just making it to tomorrow is the best I can do.
thanks
