I'm a married woman with 2 sons. I started dipping when I was 15. I am terrified to quit, but I know I need to. I have talked to my husband and he laughed at me. He doesn't want to quit and won't quit until something bad happens I guess. I don't know if I should just quit cold turkey or try to wean myself off of it. I don't know how I am going to do either of those things with his snuff and spit bottles in my house.

Hi Cindy. You sound just like I did when I came on here 8 days ago. This is a great place to help in your addiction. So much support! I dipped for many more years than you. So happy I found this place! Quit with me today!!!
-
Hi :) thanks. I also apologize for my giant topic description... It won't let me fix it

Cindy,
Quit now for yourself and your sons! You are not alone, we are all scared of quitting, cancer and our addiction.

Hi and welcome. It's best to quit cold turkey. Matter fact its best to just quit right now. Take your can and flush it...dump it. I dipped for 20 years and it took my little boy to tell me he didn't want his daddy to die! Look now 1548 days later I'm still quit like a mofo :D
-
Not sure if I did this right, since I'm still new here - but see if you can read my intro from a week ago (below). You might find it interesting. Like the others are saying - cold turkey is the best way. And you will never find more support than here.
Let me know if I can help you in any way! Make the decision! Jump right in and show your hubby how BAD ASS you are!

Cindy, thinking about quitting is not an option for you or your husband. There is nothing beneficial about dipping... nothing. It is not only disgusting, but it is slowly killing you and your husband. First and foremost, you are an addict! You believe that dipping is fun, solves problems, passes time, etc... etc... etc..., and you think that you need it. Two things...
1. I'm an addict too... we all are here.
2. YOU DON'T NEED THAT STUFF
All you need to do is believe that this site will help you because it will. You have to post roll every single day and quit for just that day taking it one hour at a time. I can't even begin to describe the positive benefits my quit has brought me, my life has literally changed in a month since freeing myself. PM me if you have any questions or need anything.
First, read everything you can in the welcome center, then post roll in the January Group and understand that by posting roll you are making a promise to everyone here that you will not use nicotine.
Congratulations on saving your own life!

How are you going to do it? ONE DAY AT A TIME. You're getting bogged down thinking about the future. All you need to focus on is today...right now...this five minutes.
"Quitting forever" is hard...impossible, really. That's why we don't do that here. All we do is give our word each day by Posting Roll that come Hell or high water, we will not put nicotine in our body today. We quit ONE DAY AT A TIME. And that is all there is to it.
Don't think about tomorrow, next week, next month, Christmas, etc. We'll deal with them when they get here. All we worry about what we can control...today. And anybody can go one day, right? You can too.
The decision to quit must be yours, and yours alone. Nobody can do this for you. It doesn't matter how much money you have or who you know. It doesn't matter who your married to. All that matters is YOU. YOU make the decision to quit. YOU take the first step. YOU post roll. And that is who we are going to support...YOU.
You can do this. Will it be easy? Shit no. But is it possible? Well, just click on the Quit Groups...not just your own quit group, but click around on a few other months and years. Then think...all of those names are someone who was right where you are right now. Now you tell me...is quitting possible? Hell yes it is...and the folks whose names you see there are the proof. We are living free ONE DAY AT A TIME. YOU CAN TOO!!!
It will suck at first. But embrace the suck. That is the feeling of healing. Nobody gets free for the asking. You have to earn your freedom. So take note of it...experience it. Turn the tables on nicotine. Quitting is a privilege reserved to those who have the guts to do it. I used to sit in my truck and yell, "I GET TO FEEL THIS SHITTY BECAUSE I CHOSE TO QUIT!" I chose to make myself laugh at the cravings...at the risk of looking like someone who needed to be institutionalized. I chose to see just how bad it would feel. And, after a long shitty time that wasn't as bad as I thought, I started to feel better...day by day.
Post roll and watch the support come rolling in. Read all you can. Spend time in the chat room. Read the Tom and Jenny Kern Story. Go for walks, exercise, candy, gum, mints...anything to get through a crave. READ...READ...READ. The folks here know how to quit. All we ask is that you decide to quit, post roll and ask for help. That's all...

Your husband doesn't want to quit? You'll find more than enough resources on this site that may help to convince. I was in his shoes ~ 150 days ago. Now I'm clean and have a better chance at keeping my jaw, tongue, and teeth than if I was in your husband's shoes. If he doesn't want to quit you get to spend both yours and his retirement money! Make sure you look at all corners of the site. Read, read, read some more. Find OutdoorTexan's story and pictures. The Kern story.
Drink plenty of water then drink some more. Pretty much every month has a female or 2. You'll find them fast. This place is over the top on support.

thank yall
-
Hi Cindy, I don't know why Done4 is so obsessed with shoes, but I do know he is a bad ass quitter who has your back and mine. Hang tough, and you'll never regret this decision.

Does the water help, I guess?
-
Does the water help, I guess?
Yes, it helps flush the nicotine out.

If you pass a bathroom without having to pee, you're not drinking enough water.

Welcome to the family Cindy. Just wanted to encourage you to let you know that you're not alone. You can do this with the help of this KTC entourage we will get you there. Hydrate, read, hydrate, exercise hydrate some more. I quit w/ you!
-
Cindy I don't want to speak for the rest of the women on this site....but I imagine that for women quitting is harder because it's tough to talk to anyone, because most people don't know you dip. But being here already puts you ahead of the game, it takes some stones to enter a website like this as a woman. If your husband won't go along with...that's fine, you can do this yourself I dipped for decades, and had pretty much resigned myself to a life of chewing. But thanks to this site, I am quit today.
This site is about taken control of your life, as much as it is about quitting nicotine. Make a daily promise (without fail) then keep that promise. You'll be amazed how that will carry you through some rough times. Great decision and good luck.
-
Most of my friends and family do know I dip. That being said, those of them that dip don't plan to quit, and the ones that smoke cigarettes act like snuff shouldn't be as hard to quit as their cigarettes are and act like I'm goofy when I say it's hard. Lol
-
Hey we got two badass girls in October that are killing it, Bam0821 and WINTER BRAND. I got a lot of respect for both of em one has two sons and the other is in Afghanistan. You can do this! Post roll every day and read as much as you can.
-
Hey Cindy! I'm the poster South mentioned that also has 2 sons. You've made the right decision today. You will never regret quitting, but you'll always regret dipping, and it sounds like you already do. Walk away from that shit and don't look back. I'm PMing you my number right now.

The girls here are tight. August had none, Sept has Jenahen, October has BAM and WINTER BRAND, Nov, don't recall. Dec, AmyJo and Skissy. Why not form an all girl text group? Love my two groups I'm in. They're my 2nd most powerful tool after posting roll daily.

Bam is a bad ass quitter. She has kept my stupid ass on the right path a few times during my quit. Take her advice, she will help you stay accountable I promise!

Welcome to the site quitter. You CAN do this. One day at a time is the way. Read all you can here. Get some numbers. You WILL learn how to live without the poison.
-
Thank all of you. I have been quit for almost 10 hours now. It is close to bed time and to be honest I feel miserable, where as earlier I was kind of embracing my miserable, now it's getting tough. I got some smokey mountain mint pouches (non tobacco, non nicotine) and I have used two of them although I wish I didn't even cave that much. This has been one of the longest days of my life, but I am determined to ride it out. I can't sit around and wait until a doctor tells me I HAVE to quit because by then it could be too late. I want my freedom back from the nasty stinking crap. I don't want to worry that my kids will get started on it because mama does it. I want to be a role model for them.

You gotta do what you can to stay busy especially for the first few days. will it suck? Yes It Will!!! Does it get better? YES IT DOES!!! You are in the right place to quit. There are plenty of girl quitters here as you have found out. All the advice given is rock solid.
Post Roll Daily
Honor your word
Be active here.
That's all it takes to be successful. I have done it for the past 215 days and I feel AWESOME. One thing you will need to learn is how much you HATE Nicotine. Once you Hate it, keeping clean is easier.
-
Hi Cindy glad your here. I saw you posted day 2. That is awesome. One day at a time. I used the smokey mountain mint pouches for 3 months and it really saved me. You might use them less or more. It doesn't matter, as long as it isn't nicotine do it. I think it is harder to be a woman quitting, because chances are her man still chews, so we get to see it and smell it everyday. I am telling you that you will stay quit if you use this site to its fullest. Hop in chat, text us, post anywhere on this site, anything you need will be there to help.

Congrats on your quit decision, sorry about the suck. We all had to go through it. In terms of the Smokey Mountain, that is NOT caving. Caving is using nicotine in any form.
In terms of quitting dip vs smoking, there is probably comparative data, but I don't know it. I do believe the nicotine dosage is higher with dip, so I suspect the withdrawals and craves are at least as intense. Whatever, it doesn't really matter. What does matter is the misery is real. You found the right people to help you survive.

Sorry to interrupt, but why is it harder for a woman to quit? Does nicotine affect then differently?
Telling someone 'It's got to be harder for you because of XX' is just setting them up for an excuse to cave.
Would you ever say to someone, 'Wow, you're in college! It must be so hard for you to quit because you have classes, bar hopping, tailgating, etc.'? Fuck no.
Quitting is for quitters. I don't give a shit if you are man, woman, black, brown, white, green, or gmann. This is not 'harder' or 'easier' for anyone. It's serious fucking work.
I see you've garnered some serious support her already. Use it. I don't ever want to see a post by you, or ANYONE that says, 'Sorrry guys, it's just too hard because I'm XX!'
There are no excuses!

A couple of things here:
1) I think Degranger's point here was more about the social stigma attached to female smokeless users. They are so rare in the general population, it's almost inconceivable for most folks to even consider - nevermind discuss as a practical matter. A more apt statement would be that support for women quitting smokeless is an underserved need. Not at KTC by any stretch, but generally speaking.
2) I won't name names, but there are other people at other places out there that like to repeatedly float the notion that quitting CT is "harder" for women than it is men. I called bullshit on that theory every single time I heard it back then, just as I do today. Quitting nicotine CT is tough for anyone and everyone - regardless of age, sex, race, etc. Telling 52% of the population that their ability to cope with quitting nicotine is somehow inferior to men's is a massive insult in my estimation. If anything, it's a cheap ploy by the marketing folks at big pharma to try and convince women that they won't be able to quit without NRT.

I actually feel better than I expected to today, I am a little irritable but considering I have been stuck home with an irrational toddler all day, I am doing ok.

That's true too. Lol

Really great to meet you in chat today Cindy. I know this will be hard, but if I can do it, so can you. You are definitely going about it the right way, which is to post on the site, and chat. Interacting with others on here that really know what you are going through is key. You've got about a week of pure suck, then it gets better just like that. You can do it.
Here are several kickass, badass, women quitters that have done it: 2mch2lv4, Ginet, slarowe5, sage and samcat. PM them and they'll send you their digits. It will seriously help a lot!
If you need anything at all during your quit, don't hesitate to ping me. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!
-
Cindy.....Hi there lady.
I sent you a PM. Listen, my husband chews too. I didn't tell a girl that once and she thought that "no one would understand how hard this is" and she caved. Don't BE HER!
Use my number. I've been there. I fight to save my life every day too. I will do that with you!
Ginet aka Lady G

Hi Cindy,
I am another female quitter. You are going to love being Quit. It will really suck for a little while but you are strong...you can do it! We all did and are so grateful to be quit. Hang in there, we have your back.

Keep on being strong!

You inspire me. Keep up the good quit. I'm happy to quit with you today.
-
I'm sorry your husband doesn't want to quit too and it might be harder for you with him dipping around you, but keep quit.
We will all tell you, the journey isn't easy, but the payoff is worth it.
Some days are harder than other, but if you wake up every morning and make the promise to be quit today, everyone here will support you and we will quit with you today too.
-
I ordered a roll of Holt herbal snuff. I ordered it Friday or Saturday, not sure. Anyway I just got it in the mail! I like it. It tastes clean, almost healthy? Anyway will definitely be using this until I get past the need to use fake. Great stuff

Thank you. My husband dipping does make it hard sometimes, however I am starting to feel bad for him because I know how much better I feel now and I see in him that he is scared to quit, he still believes the nicotine is doing him some sort of favor. Levels him out or something.

I'm sorry your husband doesn't want to quit too and it might be harder for you with him dipping around you, but keep quit.

We have all thought that and that is because nicotine is an addiction. Your quitting is the best example for him, no nagging, no bragging, just quitting one day at a time. Hopefully he eventually sees it and comes in here to check it out. Maybe leave the KTC site up on the computer screen when you walk away sometimes. Might get his curiosity up.....quit with you today.

Hi Cindy,
Quitting can be as easy or as hard as you choose to make it. This is all mental, chess not checkers ya know. Some things that will help.
Exercise- even just a walk around the block and back. This will reduce both the frequency and intensity of craves. It helps beat the funk and gets the chemicals out of your system faster.
Blood sugar - keep it steady, a sugar crash will lead to a crave- SIP on sweet juice throughout the day and balance that with some protein.
Caffeine- Cut it in half from what you drank prior to quitting. Nicotine counteracts caffeine, you need to cut back a bit or your gonna be jumpier than a rabbit in a trampoline factory.
mindset - What would you do to save your own life? If you were fighting cancer today would you suffer through Chemo, surgeries, try new a therapy? change your diet, go to church? What intolerable hell
would you endure to simply live. When you have thought long and hard about that, think on this. Why not apply that attitude to your quit. Suffer through the temporary discomfort of withdrawl to
achieve your freedom from a slow painful demise via nicotine. Your in the ring already- fight like you mean it.
Time- - This is going to suck until it doesn't. and then it wont. Keep taking it one day at a time, any fool can stay quit for a day. If myself and this collective crew of numbskulls can do it then so can you.
Hubby - your not quitting for him, your quitting for you. Having the temptation around is NOT A GOOD ENOUGH EXCUSE for you to fail. He only mocks you because he is too scared to quit himself. Prove how easy it is to him
and he will follow. But this is for you, and you alone.
Fred Astaire is widely considered one of the best dancers that ever was, but don't forget that his partner Ginger Rogers was dancing backwards in high heels. Keep dancing Cindy, you got this

Thanks! I know hubby dipping isn't an excuse to fail. And I don't have any desire to fail. I just have a hard time not using fake when he is around. I know that's ok it's just frustrating, because I feel like I probably would end up caving right now without it, but anything is better than using real so I guess I will have minty fresh breath at all times for the time being.

I used Hooch Spitfire like it was my job for the first 250+ days. I packed it like it was 'Hagen. Before I found Hooch, I used coffe grounds mixed wit Tabasco. My wife never used tobacco. I don't know anyone that uses it. Point is, you do WHATEVER you have to to stay Quit.
One day, I just forgot to put a fake dip in. That was it. Never bought another can. Now, I do use Oregon Mint Pouches from time to time, but that's not for craves, that's just to kill coffee breath.
You can do this. Stay Close. Stay Strong. Stay Quit.

Cindy, I used fake until about day 215, and then I didn't want it anymore. It would be late at night and I'd realize that I didn't even use it today. I've had a can now for a few weeks. I am not ready to get rid of it completely. I keep it in my car because that is the one time that craves still creep up on me. Like everyone has said, you will eventually have to get rid of the oral fixation as well, but most importantly, do whatever you have to do to keep that shit out of your face!
Remember - my husband is an active Copenhagen user. I thought it was going to be my worst obstacle, always have the poison within arms reach at all times, but the difference is Cindy, we made the decision that we DID NOT WANT IT. Our physical and mental withdrawals are there for awhile but we won't let anything get in the way of our quits. My husband asked me to "pick up a can at the store for him" one day. Let's say it didn't end well for Mr. G. He loads his lip in front of me all the time. Early on, I would really notice the smell as a luring thing....I had to leave the room to fight my temptation. No I smell it and want to throw up. Make some boundaries for yourself and let them be known. You CANNOT make him quit but you can make your quit stronger by giving rules such as: Do not ask me to buy for you. I will not. Do not chew in my car. This is my car and it is nicotine free/bottle free/ and little dip droppings free. Do not put your cans in the fridge. If I see them there I will throw them away. Do not leave your cans around the house, The safest place for them is in your pocket. I will throw them away. etc....etc....etc... If you need more help dealing with having an active addict around, please call me. I know this part really well. Anything to help you stay quit. That is my goal. That is what I to you because of the hundreds of people that helped save my life. This is why this place works.
Use the fake as long as you need to.

Lol! Yes he has already figured out I will not go in the store to buy his snuff. I go in and get my fake. Then he goes in and gets his cat shit. I also don't provide him with clean spit bottles anymore. I think soon, something will crawl out of his spitter and crawl up his nose or something and I will witness something akin to a Stephen King novel. Haha

Dr. Sleep was a decent sequel to the Shining, best King book in a long time.

This^^^^^^^is why this site works. That advice is so spot on for what you are dealing with Cindy. Use it. In terms of fake dip, I started using regularly from day 20 to day 250, and then just like Ginet said, I stopped....and it wasn't really a conscious decision. So don't worry about that. I love your enthusiasm.....keep it up.

If you really want to feel like an ex-dumbfuck instead of an ex-dipper, find a friend from a foreign country and try to explain what "dipping" is. I had a friend from Bulgaria ask me last night because I had told her I had quit dipping snuff.
Her:I don't know what "dipping snuff" is.....
Me:it's tobacco mixed with chemicals and you put it between your lip and your gum and suck on it then spit the juice out. (Duhr dee duh...sounds sexy... I'm a moron)
Her: what does it taste like?
Me: it comes in lots of flavors, cherry, mint, apple, berry, vanilla ect. And plain. Which tastes like.... Ummmmmm..... Shit.
Her: which kind did you do?
Me:........ plain...
Me to myslef: ( I sound like such a fucking idiot)

Nice little epiphany there. How on earth did we justify shoving that shit into our mouths for so long and then spitting brown juice into bottles? I would save the bottles under my car seat and let them ferment for a week or so. Sometimes my weekly cleanup would miss a bottle. The bottle might be there for a month or more. Talk about a science experiment. So glad to be free.

Most of Europe, outside of Sweden bans the sale of Smokeless Tobacco. Should tell you all you need to know about whether dipping is harmless or not. Because an entire continent treats it like the narcotic that it is.

Fake snuff recipe
2 family size tea bags (or 4 small)
2 cranks Sea salt (I use a salt grinder)
1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Sprinkle cayenne powder (optional)
Sprinkle of paprika (optional)
MIX DRY INGREDIENTS
(all mixing is done by shaking closed can)
Sprinkle with water after shaking dry ingredients in can to mix, add and mix little bits of water until you get it to pack the way you want. Freeze for storage.

Per Bean...
"It will suck at first. But embrace the suck. That is the feeling of healing. Nobody gets free for the asking. You have to earn your freedom. So take note of it...experience it. Turn the tables on nicotine. Quitting is a privilege reserved to those who have the guts to do it. I used to sit in my truck and yell, "I GET TO FEEL THIS SHITTY BECAUSE I CHOSE TO QUIT!" I chose to make myself laugh at the cravings...at the risk of looking like someone who needed to be institutionalized. I chose to see just how bad it would feel. And, after a long shitty time that wasn't as bad as I thought, I started to feel better...day by day."
This lights a fire bro. Fuck me I'm pumped!!! Needed to read this sooooo bad at this hour.

Your quit is going great. Keep up the good work. Three thoughts....
1) QLFEDD
2) Never miss a roll call
3) Listen to Ginet (Or she'll come kick your ass!) :-)
I quit with you today,
ZC

I too quit with another person in the house still dipping. Your a bad ass. I am proud I be quitting with you.
Bad ass chic for sure! Rock it!
Quit On.Cindy! You are freaking rocking this shit! I love the fake home brew recipe. I tried something similar in the early days of my quit. I like your recipe better
Mike Land. 697 days of quit but the only one that counts is today!
This girl is shapin into my favorite Texas girl. Beating the odds every damn day!!
Cindy - It gives me strength to see you maintaining your commitment regardless of what your husband chooses. Your resolve will undoubtedly save his life one day. Part of my quit plan is visiting the intro pages whenever my quit is beginning to feel a little stale. Love the raw wisdom!
Thank you - and all the KTC community! - 2,352 (or some shit like that).

Update for those of you that didn't know, my husband has quit. This is his day 13 today. Thank y'all for your continued support for me and for my husband even though he has chose not to join the site at this time.

Good Morning
I know how you feel, I have just quit, going on day four! I chewed for over 30 years. You need to quit for yourself. It's like walking you have to take the first step.
Hang in their.

Having a really shitty day. Feel like all the confidence and happiness I had gained have disappeared. Don't feel good. Depressed. Just waiting for bed time to hurry up and get here.

Been there a few times lately, from what I read it is not that uncommon. Spend some time on here and/or chat, let some people help provide you some encouragement and then get a good night of sleep, wake up to a new tomorrow. Hang in there and keep pushing forward, these types of days will pass.

Hi Cindy. Depression and the blues in general are part of quitting. You just are resetting your life...rebalancing. You can talk to a doctor about it if you need or want to. I just wanted you to know that it is normal. I spent a lot of time like that. It's not fun but it does pass. I got some drugs to help me....not everyone needs that but the option is there. I am sure some peeps can chime in on some natural remedies too if you'd like. Stay in the game. Remain strong. Your confidence and happiness will return. You have to go thru the emotions and the ups and downs to get to a better place. I promise.....it gets better.

I am taking my corgi to the vet in the morning. I'm afraid she has cancer. She has a tumor/growth that has just popped up on her belly within the past couple of weeks since her last bath. This reminds me of all the people and things I had neglected in the past several years of my addiction. I took care of her but I didn't spend any quality time with her in many years. Now I wake up quit and my best buddy is almost 11 and I threw away many years we could've been enjoying together like we have been in the past two months. I guess it seems silly to feel so guilty about not spending more time with a dog, but she has been with me longer than any man, and since before I had kids. I'm so scared I am going to lose her very soon. I just hope I'm wrong and it's not as bad as I think it may be. If you pray please pray for her. Her name is BB.
In other news after I take BB to the vet I have to go get my dental implant base put in. I'm not nearly as worried about that as I am my dog. But please keep us in your thoughts as I don't know how I will get through tomorrow in one piece. I have no worry about caving. Just really scared right now.
-
Wow Cindy some heavy stuff going on. Good luck navigated this stretch in your life. Will definitely shoot some thoughts and prayers your way.
-
Thinkin of you today Cindy. Good luck with the dental implant base and I hope BB comes out if this okay.
-
Thank y'all. Almost to the vets office now.
-
Thank y'all. Almost to the vets office now.
Not saying BB has cancer but crappy things happen to us all the time. You have to find a way to deal with the puts and takes that life throws on us from time to time. Invariably bad will always hit us. Without bad, it would be hard to recognize good. Reminder that nic is never an answer.

They think it is most likely cancer. They did a chest X-ray and can't find any sign that it has spread from her mammary system. Scheduled complete mastectomy for next Thursday. She acts fine. I hope it's not cancer. I thought about not having the biopsy done after they remove it due to her age, but if she has cancer I want to know and if she doesn't i woud be able to stop worrying about it.
My face hurts also. If I ever have to get multiple implants at the same time I will request that I be put under for it. It was kind of rough

I will keep you in my thoughts... Dogs are the best thing on this earth I believe, and I have gone through losing 3 of them now. All of course while dipping. It never helped.... Be strong!!!

Cindy, I know the thought of losing your BB is tough. Try to think positive until you get the histopathology back. A fair number of mammary tumors in dogs are benign.
That said, you know she is going to pass before you. It hurts. You need to grieve that loss when it happens and the guilt you feel now is the part of that grieving. I know it sucks but just ask any of these dog lovers and they'll tell you it is worth it. Pets bring us immeasurable joy and add to our life in many ways, as you know.
Take whatever information you end up with and make the most of it. BB will just be there for you until she can't.

sorry about your dog cindy. That really stinks.. I hope everything works out.

Two things I'm very happy about:
- Cindy has reached HOF!!
- Cindy's dog is doing great!
Proud of you Cindy ... enjoy the day, always remember that 101 is just as important (just not as shiny!)

Do you think Neil Armstrong was content with just taking one step on the moon?
Nope...Dude wanted to do cartwheels.
You shouldn't be content either. 100 days is awesome, but it's a drop in the bucket. Keep up the bad ass quit. You're doing great.
-
Congrats on 100 days without that can in your life. Activity is the key to a long term quit. Quit on sister!
-
I knew this one was a good apple. Congrats on this milestone. Get ready for the ride!!!
-
CONGRATS CINDY! You have an excellent quit going girl. Proud of you!
-
Cindy,
Hadn't seen your name in a while and am super happy to see you're still here, still quit and still active on KTC. Best wishes for all in your life, and most importantly, I quit with you today EDD!

I wrote an epic reply to a young kid who was here trying to quit one time. I don't remember who it was or when it was. I wish I could find it, I need to read it
-
Found it. Lol
Here is the thing. You have to make your quit your number one priority. Why would you do that you may wonder? Well three weeks ago I quit and I would give almost anything to have those 17 years of my life back. You're 18. You don't realize what the nicotine does to you but I know. It fucks up your brain. You don't know it when it's happening thanks to the magic of chemical addiction. It makes your brain think you need it. It makes you think that you need it more than you need anything in the world, right behind oxygen maybe. Don't do this for years an then wake up in your 30's and realize the shit wasted half of your life. Don't sit up at 32 years old and on night #2 and cry and bawl like an idiot because you never realized it did anything but "help" you and now you hate yourself for being so naive and letting this happen to yourself. How did I let this happen. How did it happen? What th FUCK was I thinking!?? You're young and you have your whole life ahead of you. Nicotine DOES NOT HELP YOU AT ALL. Everything you think it does is an illusion. Starting dipping was hands down the absolute worst decision I have ever made in my life. Worse than marrying a loser and not finishing college to be a veterinarian. And the best decision I have ever made was quitting. It was a better decision than divorcing the loser was. My point being marriage and divorces are big stuff. But nothing compared to what nicotine did to me. We are literally talking about your life. And say you never get cancer. It still controls your brain. It controls your sleep. It tells you when to wake up. It tells you when you can eat. It tells you what to do 24/7 and if you don't listen it kicks you in the nuts until you do listen. Kick it back and quit before it consumes anymore of your life. My husband now is an amazing man and I wouldn't trade him for anything. But he dips still. He does it in front of me. He uses my spit bottle I spit my fake in accidentally sometimes and I have to go wash it out. And I will not touch his snuff. He dips the same snuff I did. I won't buy it for him. I won't pick his can up if he drops it near me. I literally don't touch it. I'm a girl and I resist it every day. It's right in my face and in my house and I dot do that shit anymore. I dipped two cans a day and it was HARD to quit. But I am quit and I will stay QUIT because I KNOW now that it was killing me. With or without cancer it destroyed my life. Quit like a girl if you have to but please quit while you're young and healthy.

Hi Cindy. Feeling good huh? I know you don't think about nicotine, your addiction or the hard fight you went thru to get to this point. I loved that day, the very first time that I felt like that. It was INCREDIBLE! Not having one thought of a dip all day. Not using fake, nothing. It was pure freedom. I understand that. It is fantastic. We all get to experience it one day, all on different days, but it happens and keeps on getting better.
That whole "life" things happens. It even gets pretty shitty at times. This is why I still post. I would like you to stay and keep posting too.
Here's the thing. I feel pretty fantastic. I don't' think about my addiction either. I don't get tempted and I don't crave. I don't use fake and I still hate nicotine. Some day, I will stop posting. I don't know when but I know I will. I know you feel like you are at that point but here is what I want you to think about it....are you sure you want to risk it?
I mean if you feel good now, wait. Celebrating a year here with us is awesome. You should stay to do that. You should stay to help others. If you can't do that, just get on roll and make yourself the priority for just today.
I urge you stay. Keep building your quit. Make is stronger. That's my two cents.
Quittin like a girl,
Lady G day 576 - because I am not ready to risk missing roll
-
?
-
Over. And over. And over. And over.
After 100 days, people cave for 1 reason. They stop posting roll. They either subconsciously want to cave, or subconsciously never wanted to quit. I don't get it. Who the fuck would ever want to relive that 100 days again? Not me!
We've all heard this a billion times. Post roll every day. Not posting is like hitting your head on a brick wall. Over. And over. And over. And over.
-
I caved. It was a good long while back. I don't know when exactly. I am now on day 4. I am posting this here so I can find it and so other people who think they can walk away and be fine, will maybe reconsider. If you think "the suck" sucked the first time, trust me when I tell you the second time is worse. And knowing what I am still facing in the weeks and months ahead. It is truly terrifying. Don't cave. Don't ever EVER think you can touch that shit again and be ok.
1. What happened? I was having a rough day and when I got in the truck, my husband had a can of snuff (after he himself had quit for over 120 days) I thought I could get a dip and go on without it. I was about to the point that I didn't care either way, I was depressed and upset.
2. Why did it happen? I had let my guard down. I had let my quit group down. I had been selfish and thought I didn't need these people, not thinking about whether or not they actually needed me, too. I thought I was strong enough to do it alone. I knew better, but at the moment I underestimated what "addiction" means, I either didn't realize or didn't believe it would really be just like starting over at day one, just from one tiny dip.
3. What will I do differently? I will post roll. I will stay active here. I will never assume I can do it alone. I will stay here and I will help other people, even if I don't feel that I need help myself, because that will keep me here and keep me quit.
I am sorry I left. I am sorry to myself that I caved after all that time. I have hated every day since I caved and was too scared to try again. I was so angry that I had thrown all that away and now faced down doing it all over again. Don't ever ever cave. Quit like fuck every damn day for the rest of your life. When you stop quitting hard, you'll forget how hard it was.

you put thought into your answers and you are an example for everyone in your group. they need a leader Cindy to take charge of it you are a prime candidate to take over and work November to success and make sure everyone is held accountable there.
So far NOV has had the Vets taking care of it and no one has stepped up you need to make NOV better then OCT and prove to everyone on this site that you are fully invested and you drank all the damn kool aid and want to make difference for everyone including yourself.
IM quit with you like i said and i sent ya PM.

I'm not the best communicator, but I will try.

Hurts Cindy to see you posting single digits again. All the struggle and success lost. I pray that you have learned from the past and have found the strength to make it.

Cindy. I apologize that I don't know you. Seen your name a few times. The fact that there are so many users of this site is one of the great indicators that this site is so powerful at helping folks find freedom. I can't imagine what your going through right now so I'll just say this. To cave is one thing, but to not roll over and just give up is completely another. You and I have been around here long enough to see long term quitters cave. It's s terrible thing. But to pick oneself up, dust them self off, own up to it, and get back to Quitting, that takes resolve and character. Also shows an unwavering hope for freedom. I know, there's that hard ass line of accountability in here, but I'm sure what your experiencing now is hard ass enough. You know the ropes and are back linked up with your fellow Quitters. Glad your back in here. Your where you should be. Proud to be Quit with you. And you can certainly hit me up any time for more accountability digits.

The fact that there are so many users of this site is one of the great indicators that this site is so powerful at helping folks find freedom. I can't imagine what your going through right now so I'll just say this. To cave is one thing, but to not roll over and just give up is completely another. You and I have been around here long enough to see long term quitters cave. It's s terrible thing. But to pick oneself up, dust them self off, own up to it, and get back to Quitting, that takes resolve and character. Also shows an unwavering hope for freedom. I know, there's that hard ass line of accountability in here, but I'm sure what your experiencing now is hard ass enough. You know the ropes and are back linked up with your fellow Quitters. Glad your back in here. Your where you should be. Proud to be Quit with you. And you can certainly hit me up any time for more accountability digits.

I agree. This site is an awesome tool that helps people stay quit. But we all need to do our part to quit every day. Every day is the key. When we slip we might fall. Build a net here so that someone catches you should you start to fall.

Cindy,
I hate that you made the same mistake so many many "reformed" quitters seem to not be able to get without repeating (myself included; just see my signature block). But I am glad you found a way to recover from your mistake instead of wallowing in it. Welcome back young lady! Jump on in with both feet. Remember how good making that promise and keeping it made you feel about yourself and your quit group. You can do this. You know that, and we know that! With you all the way!

Thank y'all

Oh the stupid things we do. Before I found KTC I had stopped for 3 years. I got this licked. Dipping was not n my mind. I seemed to be able to walk away from it and never look back, until that one day. I was hunting with my BIL and he pulled out a can. I bummed one from him and that damn switch was flipped back on immediately. I actually felt like it snapped in my brain. Suddenly I had to run to the c-store and grab a few things. Yup, I never before realized I was an addict and always will be. I never knew that it would take just one and then I'm back to packing and pulling the trigger on a daily basis.
I too had stoppages that ended because I was depressed or I had an argument with the Mrs. Nicotine will never solve any problems, ever.
You've been around long enough to know that and to know when to use the tools provided here. Nobody likes a caver but what I dislike more is a caver that never returns. Just make sure you are 110% vested in your quit.

After 100 days, people cave for 1 reason. They stop posting roll. They either subconsciously want to cave, or subconsciously never wanted to quit. I don't get it. Who the fuck would ever want to relive that 100 days again? Not me!
We've all heard this a billion times. Post roll every day. Not posting is like hitting your head on a brick wall. Over. And over. And over. And over.
Hey Cindy, I'm glad you are back just like everyone else.... But this place is about tough love sometimes too. I'm glad you seem to be on the right path now, but i wanna make sure you know that posting roll every day is the only way you will ever win. No excuses going forward. You know how to win. Don't choose to lose. Losing, and not posting roll, sucks.

You either want to quit more than anything, or you don't. There is no place for half Ass Quitters here. Close the damn door.

I know that it doesn't matter, but just for the record, I posted over 300 days at right at 100% at which time I left KTC for a few reasons, which were not good enough reasons. I caved a few months later. I have no doubt had I stayed here I would have posted my 701 day today instead of my 7th.

why did you leave? Dig deep... The best way to not make the same mistake is to understand the causes behind it
By the way, there are no "good enough" reasons to leave KTC.

I had started to forget about it. I would go all day without dipping ever crossing my mind and it felt like I had to remember dipping to remember to come here. I thought it was a good thing to forget about it and not be forced to think about it every day. Nice thought I guess, I was wrong, obviously.

Yep... not thinking about it.
It's a nice thought and all but... all of us here can't live that way.
Not thinking about it is reserved for those who never put any of that evil shit in their body. Us?... it's now our lifelong diligence to maintain. However... your mind has to turn away from the burden that seems to be. Instead... you need to foster the grateful attitude that KTC pulled you out of the endless cycle of addiction. Be thankful to be winning each day.
Be thankful for real freedom.
Freedom isn't just "not dipping"... it's being free of the weight of managing that addiction.
I say it all'a time... get involved and STAY involved.

Cindy AJ, w2w are telling it like it is. See a lot has been happening since you left. Getting alot of patting on the ass, coddling and I know you know that's not how Ktc was built to run. Some guys are quitting 3 day's coming back like oops it's hard so I think I'll try again and fail 3 days later. That's bullshit you know that. I can tell you want this but you know just like was said previously, we're all addicts here and I would be willing to bet 9 out of 10 that leaves Ktc before? I can't answer that because I've seen anywhere from 700 to 1200 day's pissed away because of whatever reason but mainly, complacency or don't want to be reminded there addicts or hell I got this. For me I admit I'm an addict and I will never be cured therefore I will always need and welcome help. I'm glad there's still some ole timers out there reminding us all we're addicts that's what brought us here and that's why we need to stay!( Although w2w is only 44 he's wise for his age :) Quit Early Edd ODAAT!

Good morning Cindy...I know the boat you and your husband are in. Quitting for good is by far the hardest and scariest thing I've EVER done. War was easier on me than quitting if that says anything. The sense of pride you and he will feel once you hit 100 days will be like no other. Come to us for help, we've been in your shoes and know what you're going through. The headaches, the agitation, the mood swings, the sick feeling, the jitters, the fog and emotions. It's hard, no other way to say it. But you can do it. I chewed for 12 years myself and the last 6 of it I wanted to quit but just couldn't. I'd get a headache when I'd try, throw in a dip, be fine. I found that smokey mountain chew was a perfect alternative. Same wintergreen flavor, same burn, same sensation of having a dip in. It was actually better because, well 1, it was all natural herbs and mints and whatnot, and 2 I could have one in ANYWHERE because you didn't have to tote a spit bottle around with you. It was my saving grace and I don't regret for one second EVER quitting. Sure there are still times where I want a dip in...I just know I CAN go without so I WILL go without. Feel free to reach out to me. Yall inbox me on those rough days and I'll try my best to walk you through it. YOU...CAN...DO...IT.
