Started dipping in High School. Decided this past Sunday that I didn't want to do it anymore  chucked the last pouch out the window.

It will help not to deal with this alone. I have plenty of friends, but I think this will require some comrades....

Welcome to the greatest place on earth for you right now Golfpro. The best advice I can give you is buckle down and sack up for a few really rough days. Please read everything you can on this site and reach out to the veteran quitters especially. They have been through the fire and passed out the other side. We quit ODAAT (one day at a time) here. Once we admit we are addicts to nicotine there is only one thing to do. Never, Ever take another dip. Never again for any reason! Glad you are here, its going to change your life.

Nice job of posting Roll in the March group Golfpro. Go to the welcome center (Salmon colored tab) and that will get you started on the reading materials.
We are here to help and support you all the way, but the hard part is going to be up to you. Get your seeds, hard candy, atomic fireballs and fake dip ready, and get set to dig your heels in and quit. Grit your teeth when things look shitty and power through the bad feelings. Remember two things: 1) One Day At A Time; 2) No one has ever died from quitting!! Finally, look up at your Inbox(1). That is a personal message from me with my telephone number. Call me when you need to talk to someone about any problems you are having 24/7. Congrats on the best decision you will make. Wayne

We decide we don't want to do that anymore each day, no matter what. No mulligans here, GP. Welcome!

One day at a time, Golfpro. Just pledge to your KTC brothers and sisters every morning that you will have no Nicotine for the rest of that day, and then simply honor your word. That's all you have to do. It's easy. There's tons of reading here for you to help strengthen your quit. Read it all, it will help.

golfpro, I welcome and congratulate you for finding KTC. It has been a life saver for me. It can be for you too. If you don't mind, please let us know WHY you threw that can out the window. Why are you quitting? This is not a trick we are just trying to get inside and learn more about you and we can straighten out any curves in your quit reasoning.

There are some bad ass quitters on your team. That can't be beat if you give them a chance.

I really don't have a good reason besides the usuals. I have a 5 year old son  lately when I've been kissing him good night I've had visions of what a future would look like if I got sick because of Copenhagen.

It's also a REAL expensive habit  I've been noticing it more  more lately. I've stopped a few times before but never had a real support system to go with it, so I'd cave during a golf trip with the boys and then the cycle would start all over.

The fog is really heavy today  I'm having some trouble putting throughts together so I apologize if I sound rambling. I also looked around for some non-tobacco dip around town but no luck so settled with jolly ranchers. I don't want to dry out with sunflower seeds  everybody at work would think I was nuts.....I hid my addiction well at work.

But, here it is 5pm and I'm nicotine free another day. I'll be reading more here tonight after I tuck my boy into bed.

Thanks again for all the support!

Jeff

OK, golf man. congrats on another day of Nic free. No apologies necessary for the fog. We all get that. I just want to hear some conviction from your heart. I want something to sink your teeth into. I want you to feel this quit, to quit like you are digging yourself out of a grave. Someone has buried you but you are still alive. Think about how you would claw your way out. You would use tools, leverage, save your air, get pissed, get scared and then get pissed off even more. Nothing could stop you. That's what I want out of you. I never ending fire that beats the shit out of the Nic Bitch. Fuel it my friend, fuel that fire. Kick her ass every day one day at a time.

GP... You made a great decision today my friend. As stated... This is the greatest place on earth. This place saved my life. I was a shell of a man 170 days ago. My life revolved around a silver topped can of Copenhagen. KTC will give you the tools you need to quit dipping. I believe that 100%. However, be aware that a tool is only as good as the person using it. Know this... Your quit will come down to YOU and your determination. I was a slave for 25 years and I am quit. I know you can do this. Get ready and let's do this. Quit with you today.

I've had enough of needing it. I've had enough worrying about which pouch would be the one to cost me my tongue. I've had enough double checking my can was full enough before heading to the course. I'm tired of this shit running my life while I stress about getting sick  dip more to calm the stress. What a load of crap. I'm tired of the cravings. Screw her. I've found KTC  I will follow the plan.

Thanks Mogul. I'm about to put day 3 behind me  hit the bed.

Remember bro if quitting was easy than everyone would do it. It's going to be tough. But freedom is so worth it. I remember running up to my local gas station at 11pm at night. 5degrees outside. Dog starts barking and wakes up the whole house. All because I was a SLAVE to the can. Take your life back buddy. We are all here doing the same. One day at a time. Welcome to KTC.

You go get it bro.. I like that quit, hell yeah. I have had enough too. I hate worrying, I hate the thought of another surgery or losing my tongue. I hate having to plan to have enough to get through a trip or a vacation or a work day. I'm tired of this shit running my life too. It is a load of crap.

You know what Golfpro, I agree completely with you. I quit for the same reasons. Screw her, I'm better, worth more than nic, I have dreams she can't destroy, I have a responsibility that I want no one to take my place of, I want my life as long as I can have it. I take back my life from the Nic Bitch and make it mine.

You got this dude. Use the tools, believe the elders here. They are bad ass quitters. They know the ropes, they have seen it all, we are beginners but quitters. Glad you are here my man.

Went to Walmart for some Smokey Mountain. Had been debating whether to use the fake dip to curb the crave or try to ignore it but I figure anything is better than letting the bitch even mess with my head.

So, I go to Walmart  inquire in the pharmacy where they keep it, surely it's not at the tobacco counter.....but of course it is. Test #500,000 in the past 4 days.

Get to the counter at the same time as a couple with 2 kids  2 FULL carts. I have nothing. She immediately starts emptying the cart on the counter, basically cutting me off..... Now I have NOTHING in my hands  am obviously at this counter for a reason.... 'bang head' 'bang head' 'bang head'

Anyway, I stand patiently as they ring up $225 worth of items, then she realizes that they food stamp card she has is old  can the clerk hold this counter for "just 5 minutes" so she can run home  get the new card.....

All this while, every tobacco product in God's green earth is staring at me  I stared right fucking back. No way nic, you bitch, you're not using this rude woman as a personification of a fail  cave. No way. Not today, I posted roll.

I smiled  told the clerk I didn't mind waiting if it was easier on him. He ended up suspending the transaction  then was blown away that I was waiting on Smokey Mountain. I bought a can of straight  a can of Wintergreen  he was asking me questions. I told him I was on day 4 of my quit  needed just a little help for the cravings. He was the first person to congratulate me on my quit outside of this site.

I literally looked nic in the eyes today  gave her the finger.  It's a long road but I know I'll be ok the rest of today.

Damn fine job golfer. So how is the wintergreen taste anyways? I've also been debating on getting some smokey because on day 11 , the back of my jaw is sore and I'm grinding my teeth like I'm hungry cause my body is screaming for oral fixation. I been just takin it the old fashioned way, but if the wintergreen is any good I may try it out

Nice win...luckily you weren't at day 26 and your temper had kicked in at full force or that food stamp card would have been up that lady's ass!

On my first night out for drinks after my quit, I was already nervous and was trying to make sure no triggers would be present. I'll be damned if the only parking spot I could find at the bar was across the street at a Tobacco Shop...

Thanks everybody. The Winter Green is pretty good. It helps with the cravings for sure.

One of my favorite books is 11/22/63 by Stephen King. If you haven't read it, it's about a guy that finds a wormhole to the past  decides to go back in time  save Kennedy. The short version is that the past doesn't want to be changed  keeps throwing obstacles in his way; they get bigger and more dangerous as he gets closer to Oswald.

That's what that Walmart trip reminded me of. Nic doesn't want to let go. The Bitch is always going to throw obstacles up in the way of our quits. Tempting me to walk away from that counter and hit a 7/11 for the real stuff instead.

Nope, ain't going to happen today either, because I already posted roll.

Here's the really stupid part of addiction. I'm 8 days quit today  have been suckling on Smokey Mountain fake dip like nobody's business. Walmart is out of wintergreen, only classic  straight..... Both of which taste, to my less than refined palate, like complete unwashed ass.

So, I've got 2 cans of Smokey Mountain in the truck, neither of which I enjoy. But somewhere inside my crackpot fucked up brain, it tells me that I need to have something in my lip.... I told myself, all I have is fake dip that's terrible but I went down to my truck anyway  popped in a straight  the craving went away. Like my mind didn't recognize that this was fake dip.

I sat in my truck, reading the forums here and had the occasional full body shiver but I'm still quit.

I also went back to my desk after  ordered some Jakes mint chew....

I'm guessing that embracing the suck includes sucking on mint leaves that have been mangled up and made to taste like a rotten fart.....?

Day 10  something's different. I woke up this morning in a better mood....a much better mood. I don't hate everything today.

and this morning's poop was......magical. TMI, I'm sure, but it was outstanding  I felt compelled to share.

Plenty of danger around today, annual employee party, always a trigger to sneak out  pack a lipper so I didn't have to socialize... but I will get through today nicotine free.

Did I mention I feel great  took the dump of the century this morning?

What can be better than feeling great and having the added bonus of taking a magnificent dump? Well being quit for 10 days ranks up there in my opinion.

Day 10  something's different. I woke up this morning in a better mood....a much better mood. I don't hate everything today.

and this morning's poop was......magical. TMI, I'm sure, but it was outstanding  I felt compelled to share.

Plenty of danger around today, annual employee party, always a trigger to sneak out  pack a lipper so I didn't have to socialize... but I will get through today nicotine free.

Did I mention I feel great  took the dump of the century this morning?
Not much beats a good shit! Keep quitting ODAAT.

My log entry for days 29-31:

Started Monday on Day 29  out of nowhere, got hit with massive cravings  tired beyond belief. I was at my desk  could barely keep my eyes open. Got so bad that I went across the street to the convenience store (where I used to buy all my cope)  bought a can of Monster Energy, some swedish fish  a box of gobstoppers. Went to the clerk on the far side from the shit  never looked at it. Got back to my desk and just about made myself sick with the candy  energy drink, but it cured that crave. It also cured any thoughts of dinner that night too.

Got up Tuesday morning  was more than happy to call in sick to stay home with my son who wasn't feeling good. We both went back to bed  slept til noon. Of course, there is no nicotine in the house so as long as I didn't leave the house I was safe. I cleaned the house in the afternoon and dipped a can of Jakes Mint to keep me sane.

Today, day 31 has been better. Watching the weight increase even though I've tried to be more active  watch my diet (with exceptions on Monday) but fuck it, I needed that.

I've read countless intro's, HOF's  blogs, but I wasn't expecting the SUCK to pop up out of the blue like that. I'm prepared to do another Monster/swedish fish buffet if it comes on again that strong  am getting ready to order another stash from Jakes. Straight Mint  Cinnamon have been my favorite, though I'm man enough to admit that I liked the Cranberry  Cherry too....

I've now got 3 rounds of golf under my belt nicotine free  surprise, surprise, Dip DID NOT make me shoot lower scores, hit it farther, or putt better. Fucking shocker...

It's Day 31  I'll stay quit today with my March quit brothers.

I've been trying to add little snippets along the way so I can look back  remember everything that I've gone through in my quit.

This is day 60. Craves have been really bad lately. Like little fucking voices in my head. This morning, I had a sausage mcmuffin  diet coke for breakfast on the way to work  was sitting at my desk about 1/2 hour later  a voice screamed at me "YOU JUST HAD A MCMUFFIN, WHERES THE COPENHAGEN, YOU NEED IT".

I was surprised  after packing in some Jakes the voices calmed down. It also helped that I was working on the roll spreadsheet from yesterday  that always helps me focus on the quit.

No more dip dreams in quite a while, though I will say my dreams, when I've had any, have been very vivid. Not sure if that's a sign, symptom, what the fuck ever, just a thought that popped into my head.

Bought a new (used) 2012 Ford Fusion last Saturday  I take some pride knowing that this will be the very first car that I've EVER owned that I won't have dip in. No secret hiding spot. No dip stain on the seat from wiping my fingers. Awesome.

Played in a tournament last Sunday with a guy smoking cigars  another guy dipping his mind out. He was an obnoxious dipper. The kind that wants the world to know  has that nasty shit dripping out the front of his lip. I had my Jakes and was perfectly ok to be around him, I just made sure not to start any conversations about dip or let him see me pack a Jakes because I just wanted to golf  not get into a big thing about it.

I'm quit today. I'll post roll again tomorrow before I even take a leak or scratch my nuts......

I'm a huge fan of KTC  can't thank the guys in my group  the vets that have reached out enough.

I'm a damn proud ;Ironman:

Well done brother!

Those are the kind of victories that will keep you quit. Keep that attitude and always keep your guard up.

I may been off the fake stuff for a few weeks now but I always have it near me just in case. I don't ever want to become a statistic and I never ever want to let my brothers and sisters here down.

Damn, man you make me want to go buy a new truck now, to fully leave my old dipping self behind.

Golfpro, you are becoming a quitpro. Great job. You'll have some bad days pop up every now and then, but nothing you can't handle. You have the tools, you have your integrity and you've come to far. Might as well see where this ride takes you. Glad to be quit with you.

Thanks guys. All the responses mean a lot to me.....and I obviously can't get enough of Pinch's avi....

The new ride wasn't by design, but my old, tried  trusted Explorer had 141,000 miles on it  the transmission was starting to get iffy so a buddy of mine that owns a dealership gave me some counsel to get rid of it as soon as I could  I lucked into a great deal on the new one.

Day 79  Day 17 without a Diet Coke....

I gave myself permission to be a fat fuck for the first 50 days of my quit. That goal was a roaring success by the way......I'm quit AND I'm a fat fuck.

Quitting the Diet Coke is a first step in a little project I refer to as Being Not So Fat.

Walked 9 holes last night after work  only drank water so I am currently a boring fat fuck. Same gameplan tonight.

Overall, things are going pretty well the last few weeks. Still always have a can of fake with me, just in case. Got some numbers in my phone  we keep in touch.

Other than being a fat fuck, Life is pretty damn good today.

Oh no. Tha'ts Cael Sanderson. He went undefeated his college career at Iowa State and is the head coach at Penn State now. I put that pic up when I need to focus and go undefeated. Did it with nic and it worked, reposted when I quit Alcohol. 112 days sober. 112 to 0 so far. That pic stays until I get past his record. Then I'll put something ghey up.

I am pretty sure my penis is bigger but other than that, he could kick my ass at everything in life. So I cheer him and he inspires me in my fights.

First, a big thanks to Pinched for putting my favorite avatar on the top of my intro, so I can easily distract myself as I go blind.....

Thanks for all the kind words. I think it was best said around here that 100 days isn't the finish line, it's a milestone. There is no tomorrow, just quitting today  it just so happens to be the 100th day in a row that I've told Nicotine to 'Finger'

I told Rdad that I'll be posting my +1's here until the day they shut down the Internet.

KTC works if you let it  I also got lucky that I got in with a bunch of good motherfuckers that support each other.

Day 172. Amazing.

My best friend was a cigar smoker on the course. Went through a couple each 18. He stopped cold turkey when he turned 40. He's a couple years older than I am so he kept telling me that he expected me to quit dipping when I turned 40. I promised him that I would.

I beat him to that deadline by 168 days  I did it for me on my terms.

I've said this in every post I've written, but I wouldn't have been successful without KTC. I post roll every morning. I tend to the roll spreadsheet on my days. I had the privilege of being a conductor for the Resolute Bastards. I don't get into chat very often  I don't post roll in as many other groups as I'd like to; I need to do better with that.

I've gotten to know a bunch of good assholes here that I'm happy to call friends. It was weird, at first, sharing my cell number with some random numnut on the internet but those numnuts have saved my quit more than once.

damn straight I'm quit today.......I promised those mother fuckers in March that I wouldn't use nicotine today. Another +1.

Proud to be quit with you Golfpro! You are a great leader with the March 14' Iron Men!
I'll gladly second my boy Starr on what he said. The 3 of us and banjo had the opportunity to share something unique as conductors. Just that experience alone helps to solidify my quit every day and I wouldn't trade that for anything.

Thanks guys, you know the feeling is mutual.

I've shared this story with a couple of guys here, but yesterday I had a moment. I've been really trying harder to lose some weight. Haven't done much exercising but changed some major things in my diet. I haven't had a diet coke in over 4 months. I switched to very low carb, I haven't had any booze in over 2 weeks......FUCKING NONE. Obviously, I cut the fast food out too.

So, I get on the scale yesterday after 2.5 weeks  see that I haven't lost nearly as much as I expected. Right at that moment, a little voice in the back of my head tells me that a can would probably help me lose more weight faster. No shit. On day 199, that was a thought that actually popped into my fucking head. It left almost as soon as I had it, but I heard it. Crazy fucking addict mind.

I wouldn't be at 200 without KTC  the accountability that we share around here. I'll stay quit for the rest of today  post roll again tomorrow.

Well done golf, you have earned that 2nd floor, keep up the great quit

(and it is 'funny' how those thoughts can still pop in our heads, but with what we learn here we can kick them aside very quickly)

Yea, I thought the Copenhagen Diet was the answer for awhile. But that was just my teeth falling out of my head and the cash flying out of my wallet making me lighter. Your a solid quitter bro. Proud to quit with you.
