Title: Road to freedom begins
Post by: ProfessorQuit on September 03, 2012, 02:39:00 PM
Hello KTC community just wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I have been dipping since i was 18 and i am 27 now. whats funny is i always thought growing up dipping was gross but then one time at a concert i tried it and was hooked. At first i never thought i was hooked just enjoyed it and told myself i could quit if i wanted to and of course thats bullshit the nic had me wrapped around her finger! i felt like when things got tough i was ok cause i had dip to ease pain and stress, kinda like a best friend having your back but really all it was doing was killing me slowly and running my life. I would dip in the morning,after meals,me and my buddy would joke and say we needed a focus dip while playing madden and stuff lol thats sad. But anyways im not sure when in my head it clicked that i needed to quit i just started looking up stuff about quitting and found the link to this site and just from reading some of the stories i was convinced it was time to toss the grizz and copen in the trash for good. to save my life and to be around for my new wife and two great kids. thanks fellas for taking time to make a site like this to help with our path to quit this addiction. Let the journey begin im on day 3!

Good choice Prof. It took me nearly 40 yrs to make the move. Oh I tried at least once a week and thought about quitting daily, but never grew the balls to actually do it till 156 days ago! Freedom is wonderful. You can doit one day at a time. Pm me to exchange #'s or if I can help.
