Title: Finally got serious

Should have done this weeks ago but just a slow starter I guess. Been dipping for 18 years, started in the service and carried on through into my civilian life. Even though I work in healthcare, the relax from dip out weighed the knowledge of what I was doing. I had tried to quit many times but never truly embraced quitting. I finally had enough and put an earnest effort into it. now that I'm 27 days free and going strong I can use my own stubbornness to my favor and not fall to the mind games and lies. (It's just one dip, you can quit anytime you want) it's all a lie it's never JUST one dip and never will be!!! I choose to quit now not just anytime. I control me not tobacco and I'm taking back my life today.

After 18 years of putting that crap in my mouth, neglecting my teeth and avoiding my dentist I finally went to my dentist and I will definitely be paying the piper. 4 fillings today, 3 more in a few weeks and more after that. About $1000 worth of work. If anyone is reading this and thinking about quitting do it now!!!! The price gets higher the longer you use tobacco. So glad to finally have given up that shit up.

After 30+ days into my quit, it turned into not just the week from hell but the quit from hell too. On top of having an all day crave over the weekend, I did not cave. On Tuesday my wife of 23 years decides that now (after I quit dip of coarse) she wants a divorce. Didn't cave then either, then Thursday the dentist says a spot on my gum is either an abscess, a sinus infection that created a track to my gum, or cancer. Still didn't cave. Tonight I'm informed I need out of what was my home tomorrow so she ( soon to be exwife can move on with her life). Still haven't caved. Nic bitch is kind scared of me right now cause now I'm just getting pissed off. And karma can back the fuck off too I'm about sick of her shit too. But I am still quit and I win. This can be done just reach to those who support you instead of a can of death.

2 days since losing my home, my kids and my wife....I do get to see the kids but it's not the same. Through all this my cravings have been minimal, been to busy worrying about where I'm going to sleep, when will I eat again, when will I see my kids again. I don't even have the urge to dip. My kids above all else. I'm now finishing day 44 of my quit. I will beat this....all of it!!!!

Today is day 46 of my quit, and day 7 of my wife walking out on 23 years of marriage. Tonight the nic bitch tried her hand, on the way home I had to stop at the mini mart. She started whispering why are you still trying, she's gone, why do you care, just get a dip and enjoy it. At least I resisted but she is getting tricky. Why are all the women in my life so detrimental to my health lol!!! Didn't matter I'm still quit so 'Finger' nicotine

Here I am and day 70 of what I can only explain as the quit from hell. After nearly 20 years of dipping And several failed attempts at quitting, I stumbled onto KTC and thought this is great I can do this. Then my wife of 23 years decides that as I'm getting my life back in my control that she wants a divorce.....I've been replaced be a model half my age.... Ok set back....and temptation but I didn't cave. Then I go to the dentist and 20 years of abuse and neglect have to be paid.... Lots of dental work and pain later the dentist tells me the spot on my jaw could be an infection, a tract created by a sinus infection to drain, or cancer. Another set back.....well I didn't cave then either. Now I start getting my life put back together and the soon to be ex wife tries to take my kids from me with 2 days out of 14 cause in her twisted world that's fair. Once again set back and temptation but still no cave. I will not be a slave to nicotine or a manipulative woman again!!!!!!!!

As I sit back and look over the last 87 days and ahead to lies in wait, I can't thank enough the members of my group and the close friends I've made, without whom I would not be getting close to he 100 day mark. They have looked out for my when I was to wrapped up in my life to look out for myself. They have forced me to rise above myself and reach new heights. I am proud and humbled to quit with them

day 178 and I still face triggers, I still crave, heck I still argue with myself at the gas station when I walk by the death counter. So if I'm still facing this at 178 day how the hell are people leaving after their 100 days. Either I'm severely addicted still, or someone else has gotten over confident and are setting themselves up for a fall. With all the stories of people falling back into old habits after 200+ days do I think I'm the abnormal story here...no. Any new quitter, potential quitter, and veteran quitter reading this remember the principle that KTC works on is simple make a single promise every morning first thing, not to use nicotine for that day, then keep that promise. Come back tomorrow and do it again. After 100 days am I cured, absolutely not, do have the strength, rational thinking and separation to make an intelligent decision about caving, yes, and If I'm not sure if my choice is right I have many quit brothers and sisters to ask if I'm doing the right thing. This place works if you use it the way it was intended, plain and simple.

Day 215, to date I have been through a separation/Divorce, financial ruin, a close call with what could have been oral cancer, the fighting for the custody of my children, another close call with throat cancer, and much, much, more, all the time I was starting and living my quit. All the time I have posted roll every day 100% since joining KTC. I have been active in my quit group, and 2 other quit groups as they entered the HOF, I was HOF conductor for one of those months. Why say all this because the last sentence is why I have 215 days, the first 3 sentences were all excuses I could have used to cave. Instead I used participation to defeat the nic bitch. This is the secret of KTC plain and simple. The other plans of post and ghost and I don't need to exchange numbers don't work they are lies to yourself and others.

Day 263....almost to 3rd floor, about 100 days out from 1 trip around the sun, and I am still craving but guess what...I am still very much quit. I post roll everyday, not just everyday but first thing everyday. I am still active in not only my quit group but several others. I might not be the best quitter, or the most eloquent quitter, I am quit and that's all that matters. Invest in your quit, and invest in others that's what makes a strong quit. I half assed attempt will only lead to ANOTHER failure.

If anyone is reading this and hasn't started their quit, stop pondering and do it. There will always be excuses for not quitting. I made it through hell and back and managed to quit. With support and a desire to quit you will succeed, sign in drink the kool aid and do the pattern here that has been established. It works if you let it!!!!

Yes one year, one whole trip around the sun. I am quit, still nic free, free from slavery to a weed in a little can. I have seen people come and go, succeed and fail. The same pattern has shown through time and again, get involved, invest in your quit and succeed, or rebel pick and choose what parts of KTC you will honor, seek to change the forum to fit your addicted self and fail. I wanted this quit, enough to change myself. Want your quit, quit nicotine not try quitting!!!

Just Incase there is any confusion at almost 900 days and guess what life is still happening, custody battle looms with lawyers and all my kids now living with me. The nic bitch still trying to convince me to fall and I’m still quit. This is a daily choice not an instant cure. There will ALWAYS be excuses to cave. How bad do you want to quit....enough to do whatever it takes to stay quit

Wepdoc, welcome to freedom! 27 days is great, some brotherhood and accountability will help you secure that freedom. You fit with the March 2016 Quit Group, post roll with them and get to know them.

Lots of military around as well, so any special issues are covered.

You may be stubborn, but so is nicotine. However a network of stubborn quitters is much stronger than nicotine. Build it, use it, win with it.

I've already done roll with them, 2 days now, even made some comments on the front end at the what to expect page. Just getting more entrenched and digging in so to speak. I know nicotine is tricky I've been prey to it for far too long. Which is why I finally made my stand. Thanks for the reply and support it all helps

After 18 years of putting that crap in my mouth, neglecting my teeth and avoiding my dentist I finally went to my dentist and I will definitely be paying the piper. 4 fillings today, 3 more in a few weeks and more after that. About $1000 worth of work. If anyone is reading this and thinking about quitting do it now!!!! The price gets higher the longer you use tobacco. So glad to finally have given up that shit.

After 38 years I have only a few left.
And big dollars in implants.
Tell that voice to hit the road.
It is a lie. Just one more will only bring guilt and remorse.
Keep learning, even as a docter.
Its focusing on the truth that will set your mind and soul at ease.
For wisdom makes for a soft pillow.
Lies keep us restless.
Seek Truth
Congrats on 29 days.
I quit with you today.

After 30+ days into my quit, it turned into not just the week from hell but the quit from hell too. On top of having an all day crave over the weekend, I did not cave. On Tuesday my wife of 23 years decides that now (after I quit dip of coarse) she wants a divorce. Didn't cave then either, then Thursday the dentist says a spot on my gum is either an abscess, a sinus infection that created a track to my gum, or cancer. Still didn't cave. Tonight I'm informed I need out of what was my home tomorrow so she ( soon to be exwife can move on with her life). Still haven't caved. Nic bitch is kind scared of me right now cause now I'm just getting pissed off. And karma can back the fuck off too I'm about sick of her shit too. But I am still quit and I win. This can be done just reach to those who support you instead of a can of death.

'clap' Well done bro. The strength of your quit is measured by your ability to remain strong even in the tough moments of life. You have measured well. Keep using your tools and life will HAVE to get better. I'll quit with you today!

Welcome to the brotherhood! It is going to be a long crazy ride but all of us in the BROTHERHOOD are behind you 100%.
Make that promise to not pick that can up ever again, you will want to, but don't give in to the Nic Bitch. She will whisper sweet nothings in your ear to get you to re-commit to her, I now she is sexy to look, she is a 10 right now, but like the saying goes, I went to bed at 2 with a 10 and woke up at 10 with a 2. That's what she will look like after some time a 2, then she will just disgust you to look at her. Hang in there we are all here for you! 'bang head'

2 days since losing my home, my kids and my wife....I do get to see the kids but it's not the same. Through all this my cravings have been minimal, been to busy worrying about where I'm going to sleep, when will I eat again, when will I see my kids again. I don't even have the urge to dip. My kids above all else. I'm now finishing day 44 of my quit. I will beat this....all of it!!!!

As I sit back and look over the last 87 days and ahead to lies in wait, I can't thank enough the members of my group and the close friends I've made, without whom I would not be getting close to he 100 day mark. They have looked out for my when I was to wrapped up in my life to look out for myself. They have forced me to rise above myself and reach new heights. I am proud and humbled to quit with them.
Remember....day 100 is an excellent milestone to have in your sights, however, don't approach it like a cure. You are not cured. You will never be cured. Enjoy your first day in triple digits.......you cannot get to 100 if you cannot do today....

I agree 100 is just a number, a means to an end, that end being quit forever. There are many numbers leading to and past 100.

Proud of you Wep! I will be quit with you at 100, 200, 300, 400, forever! You have been a great quit brother and I thank you for the support you have given me the past 80 days.

day 178 and I still face triggers, I still crave, heck I still argue with myself at the gas station when I walk by the death counter. So if I'm still facing this at 178 day how the hell are people leaving after their 100 days. Either I'm severely addicted still, or someone else has gotten over confident and are setting themselves up for a fall. With all the stories of people falling back into old habits after 200+ days do I think I'm the abnormal story here...no. Any new quitter, potential quitter, and veteran quitter reading this remember the principle that KTC works on is simple make a single promise every morning first thing, not to use nicotine for that day, then keep that promise. Come back tomorrow and do it again. After 100 days am I cured, absolutely not, do have the strength, rational thinking and separation to make an intelligent decision about caving, yes, and If I'm not sure if my choice is right I have many quit brothers and sisters to ask if I'm doing the right thing. This place works if you use it the way it was intended, plain and simple.

Inspirational Testimony Wep! Thanks for sharing. Thanks for sharing that there are still rough days out there beyond the HOF and that they can be overcome. We all need to hear that. Hang in there bro through the tough times. To steal a phrase from someone else here at KTC, "No problems can be made better by poisoning yourself."

Congrats on 200 days. I quit with you today!

Day 215, to date I have been through a separation/Divorce, financial ruin, a close call with what could have been oral cancer, the fighting for the custody of my children, another close call with throat cancer, and much, much, more, all the time I was starting and living my quit. All the time I have posted roll every day 100% since joining KTC. I have been active in my quit group, and 2 other quit groups as they entered the HOF, I was HOF conductor for one of those months. Why say all this because the last sentence is why I have 215 days, the first 3 sentences were all excuses I could  have used to cave. Instead I used participation to defeat the nic bitch. This is the secret of KTC plain and simple. The other plans of post and ghost and I don't need to exchange numbers don't work they are lies to yourself and others.

Came here a few days ago in midst of marital separation, knowing that revealing ninja habit and that I'd lied so many times about it would further damage chances or reconciliation.

Still ... took the plunge. Quit yesterday as well as confessed to spouse.

Thank you for posting that a person can decide to quit in the midst of family problems.

(I'm thinking that regardless of reconciliation or divorce, the result will be that there will be one more man on the plant who can think, reason, feel, and confront issues without the crutch of nicotine.)

No matter the outcome life will always continue. The question will be will it continue with one more problem (nicotine) or one less problem (nicotine free). I choose nicotine free and am totally at peace with that decision. Just like everyone else here I just wish I had done it sooner.

Day 263....almost to 3rd floor, about 100 days out from 1 trip around the sun, and I am still craving but guess what...I am still very much quit. I post roll everyday, not just everyday but first thing everyday. I am still active in not only my quit group but several others. I might not be the best quitter, or the most eloquent quitter, I am quit and that's all that matters. Invest in your quit, and invest in others that's what makes a strong quit. I half assed attempt will only lead to ANOTHER failure.

This is a great intro thread Wepdoc! You've jumped hurdle after hurdle and you are still quit. Awesome! B)B

You are doing this right. The best thing we can do is connect with others here and build a strong web of support. The quit groups are good for that but we all should connect with folks outside of our groups too.

I quit with you today! Stranger999 361. :)

"No one cares about the bighorn sheep"
you have to watch that video.

You my friend, or anyone doesn't have to be eloquent, better or special in any way.

You have your head right from the start. Plus, you help others without thought to yourself. It is plain and simple, you stay connected, help others, want your quit more than anyone else, and continue to post a promise daily. Simple not easy.

I'm only a few days from 1 year and even though I can see the lies of the nic bitch more clearly I can honestly say there is rarely a day that she doesn't test the water with a little bit of wouldn't it be nice lie. I've fought hard for this freedom and don't intend on re-enslaving myself to her. Thanks for the support and vote of confidence from that have my back.

If anyone is reading this and hasn't started their quit, stop pondering and do it. There will always be excuses for not quitting. I made it through hell and back and managed to quit. With support and a desire to quit you will succeed, sign in drink the kool aid and do the pattern here that has been established. It works if you let it!!!!

Yes one year, one whole trip around the sun. I am quit, still nic free, free from slavery to a weed in a little can. I have seen people come and go, succeed and fail. The same pattern has shown through time and again, get involved, invest in your quit and succeed, or rebel pick and choose what parts of KTC you will honor, seek to change the forum to fit your addicted self and fail. I wanted this quit, enough to change myself. Want your quit, quit nicotine not try quitting!!!

700+ days quit and still there is a lot to do. Still get the occasional dip dream, still get powerful cravings, still have new quitters to guide through the labyrinth of quit. No time to rest yet!!!!

Just Incase there is any confusion at almost 900 days and guess what life is still happening, custody battle looms with lawyers and all my kids now living with me. The nic bitch still trying to convince me to fall and IÂ’m still quit. This is a daily choice not an instant cure. There will ALWAYS be excuses to cave. How bad do you want to quit....enough to do whatever it takes to stay quit.
