Good morning KTC compadre's,
I found this site yesterday and I figure I should introduce myself. I am 27 and started dipping when I was 14 or so. I grew up in a small town in Oregon and dipping was the thing to do for a boy. I joined the Navy at 18 and served 4 years active, 4 years selres. I have 2 wonderful kids and a beautiful amazing wife. My affair/relationship with nicotine of 13 years is fucking ended 07/14/2012!!! I am done and thats final. My quit group is Pre October and I have already recieved a lot of support from my group and veterans. I am thankful for everyone on this forum.

Hi Bill, Welcome to getting your life back. Good to see someone else who wants to live long instead of commiting slow suicide.
Proud to see that you quit already without this site.
This site will help you stay quit forever!
Post roll 'Finger'
keep your word 'finger point'
repeat in the morning 'zombie'
I am day 55 and YOU know that you can do this one day at a time and the daze will stack up before you know it.
Keep it simple, keep it strong.
Simple system, keep it strong by reading everything in here and coming here when you need support.
This summer would have been 30 yrs 24/7 for me.
This quit is my first and last quit.
I am quit with YOU, Will you be quit all day with me?
Cheers!

Billy Welcome aboard your promise and commitment lead to success! Failure isn't an option!!! I'm always available and willing to help or talk. Check your inbox

Congratulations Billy! Good choice!! It took me 35 years to make the decision to quit, so you're pretty smart in my book.
Just keep it real and post roll every morning. stay on the site. Everything you will need is here for the asking.

Way to go Billy! You made the right decision to join and quit today! Your quit is now stronger coming here and joining! Use this site to Read, post, read some more! The live chat is also a great tool to use to talk with other quitters! Ask questions to other quitters, because they have gone through what you are feeling and what your body is going through! Get numbers of other quitters, these numbers will come in handy and this also strengthens your quit even more!
Glad to see you joined Billy!

I just got my brother logged in here and hopefully it helps him too. I am extremely greatful for all members of this site and the site itself. I promise to be quit today all day of any nicotine, I will do the same tomorrow.

Headed into day 10, I don't get many cravings and the ones I do get only last a second. They remind me how much more powerful I am than nicotine and that has changed my life forever. Thanks to SirDerek, Dchogs, NavyTom, WT(Wade), and anyone else who has helped me through the first 10, many more to go!!

No updates from day 10 until you caved. Missed 27 days of posting in your first 100. Utterly shocking that you show up in Sept 13 posting day 1

WillyWill... Go back and look at old quit groups. I tend to gravitate to August, 2011 for obvious reasons. The guys that are still posting there posted roll 95% of the time or better pre-HOF. It's no coincidence. Your commitment early in your quit is quintessential to the long-term viability of your quit. You never see an pre-HOF quitter bouncing in and out on occasion and have their quit stick.
I would say others could learn from this cave, but this is a simple as 2+2. You were never in this for the long term to begin with. I hope this time around you take more pride in your quit and yourself. I know I did.

Well that's a shame. I remember both you and Navy Tom(I think that was his name). I posted roll with you in your groups.
Is he still quit or did you both go back to finger banging the can?
1) what happened?
2) why did it happen?
3) what are you going to do differently this time?

You are absolutely right, I thought I was invincible in my first quit. I posted roll religiously for about 30 days then it was when convenient for me. I thought it was easy and I didn't need all the hoopla on here. I would get kind of annoyed when people on here would be hounding me to post when I hadn't posted first thing in the morning. I would think to myself that I don't need to be so religious with posting to stay quit, I tricked myself into thinking that I had the power to stay quit all on my own. I was obviously mistaken and I hope I can teach the new guys and guys getting close to HOF that even when you think you have things under control with your life long addiction, it is a foolish move to seperate yourself from the thing that got you this far in the first place...Your KTC Brothers! My brother Tom (Navyguytom) stayed clean for about 6 months and then I saw his lip bulging out one day and that really hurt because we were each others support through this whole thing. He didn't text or call when he decided to put that dip back in his lip and it really hurt to see that, I am in the same category in that I selfishly decided to fill my lip with that rotten death potion without ever consulting any of my brothers. I know how it feels to be betrayed by a brother and I can only promise today until tomorrow.

On today June 27, 2013 I am 30 days quit! The first 30 have been a challenge and without the constant support from everyone (especially Duathman, DChogs, Jrizzle, Jbob, Denjr, Cmcnorwalk, Mattf, and Kandalk) I wouldn't be as strong in my quit as I am today. I know that around this time complacency and cockiness tend to set in but with the connections and bonds I have made with my brothers I am reminded every day that I can't do this on my own. I am extremely greatful to all of you for being so damn awesome!!!

Don't forget how much Wildcard and the College football thread have served as a welcomed distraction.

Thanks to you as well SirDerek and Gmann, support is what I need and you guys have been there to keep me quit. I do owe a thanks to the college football thread, I wish more people were engaged on there.
P.S. You're welcome SirDerek, You got a wierd freaking guy but a bad ass football coach. If you haven't already noticed he turns football programs into fort knox and I get the reason but it's hard for the fans.

Thanks Buffalo, Congrats to you as well. We have the same quit date so looks like 35 today. Some days I post a few days off then have to count up the days and edit or use the quit counter from the original site. One time I was 10 days off. The fog is strong man cub but you and I are stronger!!!

Dude you are rocking along. ODAAT 'winker'
Thanks Travis, You're trucking right along as well. You are probably the most active quitter in our group and I really appreciate the time you devote to the group.

Proud of you brother! Blessed to have you in our quit group

Congrats Billy Bill. It was an honor for Jake and I to welcome you on the train. Job well done brother, I proudly quit with you today, Erussell -129-.
And now we find ourselves back in California! Love this state! Hope we have more quitters living here so we can keep coming back! Today we welcome, BillyBill3934! He is a BADDASS who started chewing when he was 14 years old but thanks to KTC and his strong determination he has now reached 100 days quit! He is originally from Oregon and it is obvious by his choice in hobbies and T.V. shows. He loves to prospect for gold and detect metals under the earth using those thingamabobs that beep constantly. Favorite show is Duck dynasty and Gold rush. Just hearing this makes me want to ride a railroad in search of riches! The craziest thing he has doneÂ…. 2 deployments to the Arabian Gulf aboard an aircraft carrier. I think that means he jumped out of a plane! That is crazier than anything I want to do for sure. He must love planes because he works on them for a living. I hope he is a hard worker or we will all have problems next time we fly.
His advice to others…. “My first attempt at quitting ended in 6 months of quit flushed down the drain because I didn’t stick around after HOF. I also was a late poster and didn’t do anything on the site except post roll. Please learn from my mistakes and drink up the Kool-Aid!”
He would like to thank many people here. Duathman, Traumagnet, Kandalk, Jrizzle, Matt(s), Derk, DChogs, Sirderek, Shu26, Wastepanel, Cbird65, JBob, 80Philly, Jaynellie, Gmann, Sportsfan, BobertD.
Billy! You have earned your place on this train and we are glad to have you aboard! Keep the place clean if possible, But have fun! I think there is some more “cock” bourbon here for the taking…..Jake

Remember what I said back on July 2nd? That's as true today as it was then. Billy, it's as much an honor to be quit with you on day 100 (or 101) as it was when I was day 1 and you were 10. Congrats brother.

On my 105th day quit I am met with the news that my coworker and friend of the last 4 years has two days to live. Kevin has been dipping since he was 15 and his choice of poison is Copenhagen snuff. A year ago he started having back pains and was losing weight rapidly so he got checked out by a doctor. The first diagnosis was diabetes and they put him on meds to counteract the disease. His condition didnÂ’t get much better and his back was still hurting so he went in for a second opinion. The new Dr. decided to do a full body x-ray and the result was a mass on the back side of his pancreas, biopsy turned out positive for cancer. The cancer tumor was also the reason for his diabetes.
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer related deaths in the United States. The median survival rate of pancreatic cancer is 9.5% and Kevin was on the low end because he was at stage 3 when they caught the tumor. Immediate sessions of high dose chemotherapy started that week. He kept a great attitude and stuck it out at work four days a week for the first 10 months, the pancreatic cancer was responding to the chemo and he was actually winning the battle or so we thought. About a month ago he stopped coming to work and I found out that the cancer spread to his brain and is inoperable.
Kevin dipped up until the last day I saw him at work and no one knows for sure but there is a high chance that the many years of dipping and gutting the spit played a large role in the formation of the pancreatic cancer. I told him all about my quit and the support group that has helped me break the bond with the poison we have been slaves to for so long. He told me that he wants to quit but couldnÂ’t handle it with everything else that was going on. I told him that the dip wasnÂ’t helping in any way and all he needs to do is make the decision to quit and we (KTC) will be with him every step of the way. The old saying you can lead a horse to water but you canÂ’t make him drink rang true like it does so often with us addicts. He is dipping on his death bed today and it is a disturbing reminder to me and hopefully many others that this deadly poison is just that, DEADLY!
Kevin will be survived by his wife, 19 year old daughter, and 4 year old son. My deepest sorrow and prayers go out to his family.

Reading this is gut and heart wrenching. I don't know what to say except that the only thing that is in my control is to be an example and promise to be quit today. So if it helps, I quit nicotine today and If I wake tomorrow, I plan to repeat.
Sorry you are dealing with this but a good reminder to chose to quit now vs. being forced to quit sometime down the road.

Yep - we're all just one dip away from this or some variation of this story; and like good addicts we think it can't or won't happen to us - until it does - we need to be grateful for the support we get to kick this addiction; and not take anything for granted; and we can show our gratitude by reaching out to others that are trying to quit - we CAN do this together !

Jbob- I hope all is well my friend, you are a bad ass quitter. Keep in touch on here or if you're up to it I want to see you back on kik. Quit on!

Prayers brother. I don't know if you read my intro a few weeks ago, but I to have a friend with cancer. He was diagnosed with throat cancer 4the stage. He has been going through the treatments and making it one day at a time. He had quit dipping years ago. Don't know how long ago, but does that really matter??
I quit before his diagnosis and questioned him a lot on his quit. He was instrumental in my decision to quit and was a source of knowledge. He has told me that he is very glad I quit after the diagnosis and acknowledges that it's probably the poison that caused this.
I feel your pain my friend. Prayers for your friend.

Thanks all of you for your prayers. Kevin passed late last night and on this day of mourning not only for him (he was a 20 yr retired AO in the Navy) but for the many who have lost their lives defending this country and for everyone who was affected on this day 9/11.

On my 105th day quit I am met with the news that my coworker and friend of the last 4 years has two days to live. Kevin has been dipping since he was 15 and his choice of poison is Copenhagen snuff. A year ago he started having back pains and was losing weight rapidly so he got checked out by a doctor. The first diagnosis was diabetes and they put him on meds to counteract the disease. His condition didnÂ’t get much better and his back was still hurting so he went in for a second opinion. The new Dr. decided to do a full body x-ray and the result was a mass on the back side of his pancreas, biopsy turned out positive for cancer. The cancer tumor was also the reason for his diabetes.
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer related deaths in the United States. The median survival rate of pancreatic cancer is 9.5% and Kevin was on the low end because he was at stage 3 when they caught the tumor. Immediate sessions of weekly high dose chemotherapy started that week. He kept a great attitude and stuck it out at work four days a week for the first 10 months, the pancreatic cancer was responding to the chemo and he was actually winning the battle or so we thought. About a month ago he stopped coming to work and I found out that the cancer spread to his brain and is inoperable.
Kevin dipped up until the last day I saw him at work and no one knows for sure but there is a high chance that the many years of dipping and gutting the spit played a large role in the formation of the pancreatic cancer. I told him all about my quit and the support group that has helped me break the bond with the poison we have been slaves to for so long. He told me that he wants to quit but couldnÂ’t handle it with everything else that was going on. I told him that the dip wasnÂ’t helping in any way and all he needs to do is make the decision to quit and we (KTC) will be with him every step of the way. The old saying you can lead a horse to water but you canÂ’t make him drink rang true like it does so often with us addicts. He is dipping on his death bed today and it is a disturbing reminder to me and hopefully many others that this deadly poison is just that, DEADLY!
Kevin will be survived by his wife, 19 year old daughter, and 4 year old son. My deepest sorrow and prayers go out to his family.
Reading this is gut and heart wrenching. I don't know what to say except that the only thing that is in my control is to be an example and promise to be quit today. So if it helps, I quit nicotine today and If I wake tomorrow, I plan to repeat.
Sorry you are dealing with this but a good reminder to chose to quit now vs. being forced to quit sometime down the road.
Ugh....I am also at a loss on words.
All I can say is that I quit with you buddy.
Thanks man, I am hoping to save a life with this story or at least wake someone up to a quit. Kevin is still with us today but he is in hospice care at his home surrounded by his family. The Dr. said tonight or tomorrow he will pass on.
Jbob- I hope all is well my friend, you are a bad ass quitter. Keep in touch on here or if you're up to it I want to see you back on kik. Quit on!
Prayers......for the family
Prayers for you and the family.
Prayers brother. I don't know if you read my intro a few weeks ago, but I to have a friend with cancer. He was diagnosed with throat cancer 4the stage. He has been going through the treatments and making it one day at a time. He had quit dipping years ago. Don't know how long ago, but does that really matter??
I quit before his diagnosis and questioned him a lot on his quit. He was instrumental in my decision to quit and was a source of knowledge. He has told me that he is very glad I quit after the diagnosis and acknowledges that it's probably the poison that caused this.
I feel your pain my friend. Prayers for your friend.
Thanks all of you for your prayers. Kevin passed late last night and on this day of mourning not only for him (he was a 20 yr retired AO in the Navy) but for the many who have lost their lives defending this country and for everyone who was affected on this day 9/11.
I see we lost a 100% posting quitter (JMAC11) at 338 days to the NIC Guerilla!!!
He was a Jackwagin so I think one of you should E-mail this story of my friend Kevin to JMAC11 to remind him what happens when you give in.

142 days quit and had my first nic-mare or at least first one that I can recall. My nightmare was that I was smoking a cigarette and enjoying it and I was telling myself no and still kept smoking! When I awoke it wasn't a good feeling thinking that I failed myself and my brothers on KTC. It took a few minutes to realize it was all a nightmare and then I was actually happy about the fact that after being 142 days free of nicotine I am still reminded how powerful that mother of a whore is!! Stay vigilant my friends!!!

Holy God, that's just gruesome.
I hate it but I need to see stuff like this now and then so I don't get complacent.
This is fuel for the Quit Fire.

Shit gets REAL very quickly when you read something like that. Just awful but I agree sometimes the "Quit system" in all of us needs a little jolt. That certainly gave me one.

The poison is real, so is cancer. We cannot forget this.
Tons of nic is dipped daily. Billions of cigs are smoked. Cancer is everywhere in my family, except in those who do not smoke/dip and drink. Those who smoked/dipped and drank are dead. Gone for good. Missed dearly.
So sorry for your loss Billy. Keep posting early. Keep doing it...ODAAT. You got this brother.
Remember: 1 problem + the poison = 2 problems.
