Hi,
my name is Scott and I am an addict. I am addicted to nicotine. I started smoking when I was 16 and moved to dip later in life because smoking was not as "convenient" as stuffing worm dirt in my mouth. I have dipped for around 3-4 years fairly heavily, anywhere from 1/2 a can a day to a full can a day. I got so sick and tired of being a slave to the can, and feeling like crap all the time because I either had to much dip that day or not enough.
I am 31 years old now and made the decision on 5 July 2016 to quit for good. I am 22 days quit right now and I make a promise to my brothers, my wife, my children, and myself every day to not use any form of nicotine. its simple and it works. I quit smoking for around 2 years one time but was unable to stay away because I had no accountability in my life. I have it now. this place works.

Welcome to freedom Scott! Quit with you today.

Welcome brother. I see you're already deep into the October mayhem so it seems you get this. Make sure you have plenty of digits post early regardless of what some in October will say. Keep quit.

....I got so sick and tired of being a slave to the can, and feeling like crap all the time because I either had to much dip that day or not enough.....
I'm right there with you Scott. No great advice to give you(you already know what you need to do), I just wanted to say I know exactly how you feel being sick and tired of being a slave to the can.
I'll be honest, I won't lie and say I didn't enjoy it sometimes, but a great majority of the time I was miserable and cranky in between dips due to withdrawal and most of the time when I did have a dip in my mouth it didn't give me the kick in the ass I was hoping for and/or my mouth hurt because I'd been dipping too much. I try to keep those two mental images in my head and focus on them every day. I don't want to forget what a pain in the ass being a slave to the can was and how seldom I enjoyed it.
Glad to be quit with you Scott
Stay strong and foster a healthy hate for the bitch!

That's another great reason! no mouth pain! Thanks for the support. I think the thing that works the best about this site is that it allows you to invest your ego into your quit. I sure as shit am quitting for myself but I'll be damned if I allow someone to call me a hypocrite. The way I prevent that is show up every day and post roll.
love this forum, it saved my life.

Scott,
Keep on quitting. Under no circumstances do you want to be in your mid 60's with teeth falling out like me because you were too ignorant to quit.

Scott,
You have gone from a straight up KTC noob to almost having the October quit group named after you. Obviously I will not let that happen ;) . Keep rocking your quit brother!!

Congrats on a great decision, Scott! This forum saved my life too. Whether Day 1 or Day 1000...we're all in this together. Attitude is everything. Take note of your success. Think of it this way...you GET to feel shitty because you CHOSE to save your life. Quitting is a privilege reserved to those who have the guts to do it. You did...congrats!!!
Quitting is done ONE DAY AT A TIME...which is good because you get the opportunity to kick the Nic Bitch in the nuts everyday. Post roll, keep your word and live free!!!
