Hello all! I"m Brandon, oklahoma boy, and today is June 19th, 2013, my first day dip free!!!! I started at 12 with Redman from my baseball coach, switched to snuff a few years later and have been on the can ever since. I'm 31 now. I have tried to quit countless times, however all the times I tried to quit was in high school. I haven't tried since my adult years so this will happen! I'm stubborn, besides there is no, "no" in FUCK YOU DIP!!! 'Finger' I remember back when I used to dip, you like how I used it in past tense already, I would throw a can out of the window and tell myself I'm done! Never to fail I'd be walking that ditch later in the day looking for my can. Never got caught ditching class to go get it either! Anyway I just got married June 8th and the wifey and I are trying for kids. I always told myself that before I had kids I would stop. Well it's my time! I'm ready, I'm motivated, and dammit I'm just stubborn enough to make this happen! So here we go! I look forward to all your support as I have many days, weeks, and months of 'bang head' coming up! I'm glad to be here and looking forward to call this place my home. . . .

Welcome to the site Chris and congratulations on taking the 1st step toward quitting. I'll tell you that the 1st days are tough. It's good that you're stubborn but you're also going to have to be strong, strategic, and smart. Seek out fellowship and companionship.
One thing that a lot of your peers in the Sep quit group (myself in that same group) and the veterans alike will tell you is that you need to quit for you. If you make your quit conditional on your wife or kids then two things are vulnerable to happen:
1) You'll take frustration that occurs from your quit out on them
2) Whenever you have a rough moment with any of them you'll be susceptible to caving
The desire to quit is first and foremost, which you have down. The strength to get through the first few days of hell is next. But what you'll find is that your life will start to get re-worked, and rather than focusing on how much you miss tobacco you'll realize that you hated tobacco, that from the moment you started using it you were on a road to hell. And the moment you decide to quit you start backing out of that Highway to Hell and start taking your life back, away from the slavery that has owned you for 18 years.
Good to have you in the Sep quit group. Check your inbox and you'll see a message with my digits. Feel free to call or text.

Welcome aboard T82. I will get it out of the way now. ONE DAY AT A TIME!! Don't look a week down the road dont look a month down the road. You post roll evey day, vowing to quit today. We all quit with you today. Wake up, rinse and repeat. Glad to have you aboard brother.

We are fighting for our lives every damn day and roll call is the heart of our quit. Welcome aboard, stay close to this site, read everything here, and there's LIVE CHAT upper right if you need a good distraction and to chat with some badass quitters. Glad to have you on this ship.

hey Brandon,
Glad to see another slave wanting his freedom.
Did you know that you are a slave and addict to nicotine? Have you met the addict in the mirror and taken charge?
Are you doing this for any other reason than "I always told myself that before I had kids I would stop."????
You better be doing this for You and noone else. You do this for you and you can Own/Control/Choose your quit. You do this for anyone/anything else and you'll lose...everytime.
Read in here everyday to gather the real tools of quit and you can 'be quit' today. We only quit for today. ODAAT (one day at a time)
It is a very simple process but most likely the hardest thing you've ever done.
Post roll...the earlier the better for your quit.
Get through the day and to bed.
Wake and Repeat.
Just quit today. Don't worry about tomorrow as it isn't real. Now is real. Take it one hour, one minute at a time if need be.
Learn to see/know nicotine for the poison that it really is. You wouldn't pour wintergreen flavored Liquid Drano down your throat would you? Nicotine injected directly into a vein will stop a heart. Pure poison brother.
Cheers brother. NAFAR!!! (never again for any reason) 'bang head'
-
Not much I can add other than , I too will lend all the support I can and will quit with you every minute, every hour, every day without fail bro!
-
Right there with you brother. Day6, similar story. Pm me if you need anything. Next few days are gonna suck. Strap in, you can do it!
-
Never to fail I'd be walking that ditch later in the day looking for my can.
Holy hell we are absurd in our addiction!! Did I dumpster dive for that half can I threw away when my "quit" failed? Sadly... yep. Like a mongrel dog looking for a scrap of any kind of shit to eat. That... is fooked! No more bro... I am Quit... you are too! Feels good to be free...

What a lot of you keep saying is don't quit for your kids, quit for yourself. Well I don't have kids yet so I can't take it out on them. I told MYSELF I would quit before I had kids, so I AM doing this for myself. Just to clarify!

Worked in a hospital for 9 years. I remember standing in a dumpster scraping the shit into the can. I told myself, if I open it and dump it out, I won't go back for it.
It took two hours to get me in that dumpster.
Sick fucks wer are, no more.
Never again, for any reason.

Welcome Turnbow!!! I would first off like to welcome you to the most bad ass, kick ass place on the internet. You will not find a greater group of guys and girls than you will here. We are all battling our nasty addiction in some way and that's why we're all here. We need the support from one another every day. We need to be held accountable for our actions, and make sure that the Nic Bitch doesn't consume our lives the way it already has.
With that being said, it is a huge help to have that added motivation with your wifey and kids! (Congrats by the way)! That is definitely going to be a huge factor, but remember...You need to do this FOR YOU!!
That is going to be the only way that you are going to be able to stay quit...that and make sure you post roll EVERY DAMN DAY.
Get help from the vets, newbies like myself even.
If you have any questions or concerns, just send me a PM.
I quit with you today brother!!

I Washed some pants one time with the can in the pocket. Middle of the wash I remembered. Got the can out and got me a test pinch. Tasted the washing detergent and all. Now,, If i'm not mistaken that crap will kill you dead quick.. So, to get this straight. I put a highly poisonous detergent in my mouth with one of the most poisonous toxins known to man. How stupid!!! I have to be the worst addict ever to have held a can.

Seek the wisdom on these pages and you will know find the way.
Buckle up. You're in for one hell of a ride...you can do this!

Just wanted to add this to your intro for future reflection. Congrats you've earned your spot on the train.
Our train heads over to pick up a quitter from Enid, Oklahoma that recently married a smoking hot blond and it took no time to get a mini me in the oven. Turnbow82 started dipping at the old age of 12 and dipped Redman, Copenhagen, husky all natural fine cut in flavors.
"I'm bringing "BIGS" brand bacon flavored sunflower seeds! Because if you haven't had these things then "fuck you!" ok so maybe I went overboard there but you get it, come on, its bacon flavored sunflower seeds man!" I say fuck you Turnbow why are you just now telling us about these??? Lmao. When asked Who should we contact? He replied "Contact my pops because my wife would wonder what the hell I was doing on a train without her". He clams to have no inappropriate behaviors, I call BS bro! Especially since his craziest thing ever done is too crazy to post, lets just say he is naked, there are a lot of people (including his mom) and he is on a boat. And to celebrate he just wants a lot of meat, ribeye, or filet. And when asked about signing up for 200 days he replied "You damn right!" He enjoyed the avatars with tits and for his hobbies he enjoys in order Hunting, golf, fishing, sporting events, and remodeling jobs.
Turnbow82 is a car salesman that swears he can save you money, don't buy another car without PM-ing him, any make or model. He ships them everywhere.
His words of wisdoms are;
"The first 3 days or so suck ass! I don't think I did one productive thing at work. Actually I dont' think I did anything at work. I sat here. Sat here in the deepest fog ever! It will pass though. So future quitters don't worry it will get better. Use the crutches of seeds, fake dip, gum, candy, etc. Also, WORKOUT!!! I stopped working out because the quit made me really tired and lazy. Don't get into this rut!!! I got in it and gained 20lbs. I also was almost falling asleep during the afternoons. Stay active and exercise."
Turmbow82 says he is intimidated by Callaway, cause he text him love me not text all the time, that is weird. He finds SudsMcCracken most inspiring on KTC. Folks that have helped strengthen his quit are, BillQuack, Callaway, Cbird65, Derk40, Flynniej15 slut, SudsMcCracken, "All exchanged numbers with me and kept tabs on my quit. Thanks guys!"
Well done Turnbow, Jake and I welcome your ass onboard this train. Erussell 151.

Congrats on 100 days of freedom. I hope I continue to see your participation on KTC going forward. 100 is the first major milestone after declaring "day 1", but it is not the end.

Well, I think I’m finally ready to write this thing after being quit for 343 days! I have been busy ya see. I’ll explain later. What has this site meant to me? The world! To me and my wife! Helped me understand that I wasn’t alone, gave me the confidence to keep on pressing, alerted me of the pitfalls to come and how to overcome them, and most of all gave me lifelong friends to confide in and have them confide in me. The decision to quit came abrupt, I didn’t know I was going to quit that June 19th. I was sitting at work, normal day to me, about threw another dip in after one of my morning cups of coffee. A normal day to me, right? I can’t tell you what made me go to the site that day, I’d heard about it from a college buddy, Kevin Chessmore, several months ago, why today? It was just a normal day, right? I read stories, testimonials, good and bad. After reading through this site I looked at my co-worker and said, “Hey Josh. . . . . Look. . . . . “ as I dumped that last can into the trashcan, I said, “I’m Done” A normal day, right? FAR FROM IT! It was the day I saved my life, made my wife proud, and gave my daughter more days to spend with her daddy! This normal day changed everything for me! I look forward to life. I have a lot that I can now look forward to. Not like before when deep inside I was empty with uncertainty on my future health! I told you earlier how I was busy and that kept me from writing my HOF speech. Well I was busy! Busy quitting. Busy with marriage. Busy being a good, dip free, husband to my pregnant wife, making sure she was happy and healthy. Making arrangements for the arrival of our daughter. The arrival of our daughter! Born March 14th, 6lbs 5.3oz.. 3 weeks early but healthy and heart melt material from day 1!!! Busy changing diapers, giving baths, helping my wife, raising my child! Busy with life!! A life that dip has taken away from so many! Not me! I was busy with everything that matters! Now, I can make it matter with them and know that I will be there! Dip free! 343 days.
