feb 20th, 2017: day 1. I'm scared. First dip 28 yrs ago, regular user for 24 yrs. Want this for a lot of reasons including family, but mostly want it for me now. 24 yr military career, dip was celebrated, especially when deployed to shit holes around the world. Have tried to quit in the past but only stopped for several days, maybe a week at most. Need to get this out of my life now!

Welcome chiefbp, I see you posted roll today with the May group. Great! You WUPP (Wake up, Piss, Post) Every day and that is your promise to me, and the rest of your May brothers that you will not use nic for today. I will do the same to you.
You gotta take this as seriously as when you took getting deployed to the shitholes, cuz this is war. The first week will be an all out attack on your body, mind, spirit. But if you fight, claw, scratch, spend time on here, read the Words of wisdom, look at cancer pictures, you WILL get through.
It gets easier as it goes. PM me if you want my digits. I will be there (as will many on this site) to help you get through that craving.
I quit with you today bro.

Hey chiefbp, just remember you are never alone in this. We will quit together with you. The fight goes on every minute and every day. Just take it slow and don't be afraid to ask for help. Check you PM for my number.
After the storm is when the sun shines the brightest! Just remember every minute you go is another win...the wins add up very quickly.
Also, go get the DipQuit app on your phone. Watching the days tick by and how much money you are saving really helps put some concrete results on your quit!
Remember, every second, every minute, every day, every week and every month is a win!

polishnick donkeymn, thanks for the encouraging words. I'll look up the phone app as well. That would be a nice addition! Almost to my lunch time, first hurdle of the work day.

Chiefbp, I dipped for about 30 years, been free for more than four. If I can do it, you can. Listen to what people tell you, post roll daily, get immersed in KTC. IF you want another support number, PM me and then text or call anytime. We can do together what we could not do alone. Zeno.

Can't thank you enough for your service. Sir!
You never needed it in the holes.
You would have done the same without it...
You never need it again.
You have already done better without it.
Dont be scared of the Truth!
It will never harm you.......
I Quit with you today Chief!

Thank you Rawls. Onto day 2 this morning. Had a rough night last night. Many temptations. Hardest part is finding something to do to kill time.

Hiya Chief!
First, thank you for your service! and 2nd, Welcome to KTC. I tore through 2 cans a day for 24 years also and was never able to quit. My wife and kids hated it and were always on my ass about quitting. It finally took me just being sick of it and wanting to quit for me. If a weak ass like me can do this a badass soldier like you for sure can. If you want it bad enough. I'll tell you one thing. Being free of the chains of nicotine slavery is a beautiful thing! You are gonna feel like shit for awhile but when you turn the corner you'll see how awesome it is. Just keep going one day at a time. You will get there bro.

Chief welcome aboard KCC...,
Thank you for your service, I as well just got out of the navy which I assume by your name is what branch you were in... Just wanted say that I get where your at and I know its scary but I am halfway through day 43, I never once thought I would be this far quit. Jump in with both feet chief, its worth it, follow the program, all these weird assholes on this site will get you through even the hardest cravings I promise you that! If you do not give up on us we will never give up on you... Rage to us, vent to us, tell us what your feeling and I promise someone has gone through it and can relate. Don't worry about yesterday or tomorrow, we quit one day at a time here, worry about today, if you have to worry about the next hour, min, or second, whatever it takes to never put that shit in your mouth again! You got this!!! PM me if you want my digits... sounds dumb to have a random guys phone number but it has saved my ass a few times... QUIT ON! 'oh yeah' 'oh yeah'

Thanks Anthony! Got your PM too. Love you squids, but did my time in the greatest Air Force in the world.
Air Power!

Hey Chief, sent you PM. addicted for 35 years myself. Day 39 tobacco free. We got this!
-
Hey Chief, welcome. I sent you my numbers too. You are in the right place.

Happy Birthday Chiefbp!
'party2' 'Birthday' '40'
Proud to be quit with you in May - post an update about how you are doing, you're so damn quiet!

Thanks, just saw this. Kind of forgot about this intro post. Spend most of time reading some of the HOF speeches for inspiration.
It's been a hell of a war the past few months fighting the nic bitch. Toughing it out though, and thanks to Anthony and polishnick for reaching out and checking on me. KTC is the only way to quit for good! I've been trying to get some old work buddies to give it shot too!

Helluva ride this quit journey has been! Since our weather in Nebraska has been nice enough to get out and mow the grass, I've made my son do all the mowing because I knew it was a dip trigger for me. Well, yesterday I finally got back in the saddle, and mowed the grass for the first time in years WITHOUT A DIP! When I was done I called my wife at work and told her about it because I was so damn thrilled. Without reading so many stories here on ktc and following other journeys to HOF, I could not have done it. Almost to 100!

Great win Chief..
ODAAT and One Trigger at a Time!
My biggest triggers were Golf and Hunting.
I remember thinking what's the point in doing either if I can't chew.
Wrong.... I can do both way better, and longer.
Without poison.
It keeps getting better.!
I quit with you today.

Rawls I'm with you on hunting. Can't remember last time I had a gun or bow in hand, and didn't have a dip. But man am I looking forward to this fall, and walking out to my stand with no nasty shit in my mouth! I want that hunting moment with my son where I'm not trying to sneak a dip. This season will be awesome and no way I could do it without this KTC site and the dudes who support me!
