Title: Finally quit yesterday
Post by: Farmboy86 on April 27, 2020, 07:34:11 PM
Hi everyone and thank you for the stuff you guys have shared that I read before joining and made it that much easier to quit. I started chewing on and off when I was in my late teens and have been a steady chewer for around ten years. I've thought about quitting several times but it always some excuse. Gotta use up what I have I spent good money on that, or if I quit how will I deal with the stress? About 3 weeks ago it just clicked, I was sick of being a slave to this crap. Sick of being scared what could show up in my mouth. Sick of being embarrassed when my dentist gives me the talking to every six months about how I really should quit. I found this site in looking for some pointers and it was just what I needed to hear. So many stories that sound like me. I had been weening myself off and was planning on today being my official quit day but reading the stories I said I'm done right now and that was yesterday around 4pm. I wanted to be 24 hours in before I posted so I knew I wasn't going to just start back up as soon as I got a craving. So far, I've been doing well staying busy and keeping my mind occupied.

Welcome. Glad you are here. Now you need to get over to the August quit group and post your promise.

Your quit will get harder before it gets easier, but hang in there. Continue reading all you can, and get to know the guys in your group. Exchange digits. Stay quit.

Welcome man! Your story sounds a lot like mine and many others, I joined up a few days ago and today I’m on Day 4. Glad you joined, I’ve already met plenty of people checking in daily and keeping me accountable. It makes it that much better knowing you have support from people just like you who have been where you’ve been. You can always hit me up if you need anything as I’m sure you can just about anyone here.

Stay focused and stay quit today. Then do the same thing tomorrow. One day at a time brother!

Thank you guys for the warm welcome. I have to say I was nervous after reading about the symptoms from quitting but it's worth it. I compare it to when you work out and get the muscle aches, you know you are getting results. Now that I'm here I really want to kick myself for not doing this a long time ago. Keep up the good fight and have a good day!

Those symptoms are the price of freedom and freedom as to be earned. So, yeah the symptoms suck, but in a good way.

Hey brother, proud to have ya here with us. Sometimes we wake up and it just clicks, just like you said, and other times we need it slapped upside our head a few times. Either way, you're here now and that's what matters. Dig in, gather up digits to build your wall of accountability, and put in as much as you want to get out. My digits are only a PM away if ya want em.

Nothing is going to show up in your mouth other then benign lesions, receding gum lines, and possible tooth loss. But your teeth are more likely to fall out from eating junk food and candy then dip. This is on the same level of having that ever present ring in your back pocket. Its a sign of usage. Its not gonna fucking kill you. Time to man up a little and stop being scared of all the propaganda. Smokers have a much worse mortality rate then dippers. Overweight neckbeards (many of the users here) have a much worse mortality rate then dippers. Pick up any kind of actual officially medically certified and approved pamphlets on dip and the risks involved, and you will see that your chances of developing cancer are much much MUCH lower then getting hit by lightning.

Or you can sell part of your soul and drink the kool-aid the KTC cult offers. Your choice.

Quitting is tough but damn is it worth it. Even if the cancer risk was zero it’s worth quitting for the reprieve from addiction and it’s behaviors that you can get. One day at a time is something we all can do and I’m glad to quit w you today

Damn didn't mean to get something started and I'm not really one to argue with someone over the internet. All I can say is, In my opinion, and that's all it is is my opinion. Manning up is taking steps to be healthier and be around for your family. Anyway, gotta say I'm glad to be able to say that I'm nicotine free for day number 6.

DirtRoad89 is a troll. Don't let his bullshit distract you from your quit. There will always be distractions and nay sayers. Keep your eyes forward and focus ODAAT.

You did nothing wrong farmboy, this guy dirtroad has been here before under a different name and I'm sure has other multiple accounts, so I'm sure this isn't the last we will see of someone of his ilk. Big tobacco is very afraid of the amount of folks leaving them to live a life without them in it. That's a lot of money out of their pockets and that scares them. So they go around touting how tobacco/ nicotine doesn't kill you and that we here at KTC are making this shit up. So a group of quitters on a FREE website looking to gain nothing except to live nic free for the rest of our lives and to help others achieve that dream as well are the crazy cultists.....sounds legit right?  roflmao So anyway, keep racking up them days and I will see you on roll in the morning.

No worries I'm not dissuaded in the least by it. I figured he's a troll, possibly someone unable to quit and couldn't take being held accountable? Definitely someone with more free time than I have lol. Appreciate all the support from the rest of you!

Sometimes it's just plain easier to make ridiculous excuses to continue on with a bad habit (addiction) you know is BAD for you. I feel sorry for @DirtRoad89 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=17426) but damn you get called out one time and go full drama queen bitch on the whole forum. Take a moment to really consider what you want. You want to keep shoveling cat shit in your mouth and be in denial of what side effects it has? Be my guest. But don't go spewing bullshit against people trying to make an honest quit for themselves.
