30 years.. 11,000 cans give or take a few hundred. Don't want to even calculate the money spent. FOR WHAT??
I have seen others post that they have been a "slave" to the can for far too long. So true. I've quit for a few months here and there and once for over a year 25 years ago. You all know how dipping ruled(s) your lives....I'm tired of it.
I have been weaning off for two days. Set my timer on my phone for 2.5 hour intervals. This AM....I found KTC. I read for about 5 minutes, walked to the toilet and dumped out the last of my Cope.
My dipping days are over. 7:00AM 6/11/14 the last dip of my life. I know this is going to suck, epically, but I already feel free.
I'm glad to find there is help out there. My attempts to quit in the past would surely have been successful with others to share in the pain and offer support.
I haven't read the history of KTC but whoever's brain child it was is the man.
How do I locate a group to join for support?
Stay Strong.

I'm right there with you. I didn't do the math, but I'm sure a can a day for 30 years was a lot of $. I think the whole idea is we have to "man up" and get pissed off that we've been held hostage for so long. Who in the hell wants to be a crack addict.
-
Good shiz right there bro.
Decide and DO! That's the way.
Welcome to freedom... it's pretty damn cool.
-
Joe C, are you going to post roll and join us? Lots of new quitters yesterday and today, you can be one too and go through the SUCK together.
-
Get in there and post roll my man! Sounds like you want it, but the foundation of this site is posting roll. Commit to us Sultans in September 2014 that you won't use today. Simple as pie.
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help (other than hold your damn feet to the fire everyday of course).

Alright Joe C, like the others said, You're in the September group. Roll over to the Welcome Center and get down with posting roll in your group and what that means.
Seeing that you've stopped a few times, you already know that these first few days suck. Your biggest challenge is going to be figuring out NAFAR - Never Again For Any Reason. I imagine that year long stoppage caving came as a result of a JustOneWon'tHurtMe Dip. The thing us addicts need to remember is that Nicotine has us all down in her book. She's like Bizarro Santa Claus. She wants us to fuck up, and she's ALWAYS watching. We've gotta quit one day at a time, forever.
Glad you're here.
-
Joe C,
Welcome man. Post roll every day. Drink a shit load of water in the next several days. Buy some seeds, fake shit, gum, whatever it takes to keep that poison out if your pie-hole.
The next few days will suck, but there is no question its the best decision you've ever made

Thanks for all of the support. Today was a feeding frenzy. I'm in sales so I drive all day. I equate dipping with driving. They are(were) synonymous. That said, I consumed about 2000 Smartees, 12 Tootsie Roll Pops, a large bag of Bigs Ranch Sunflower seeds, a pound of beef jerky. It worked. As long the old "pie-hole"(thanks basshaug) was working I was good.
Tonight, about 13 hours and 40 minutes post quit, I feel good. Im still all in. My resolve is unshaken.
I will review all of your posts and figure out how to post roll.
Stay strong!!!!

Welcome Josey. Yous gonna be alllllllright punkin.

Way to go! You have a great attitude. I'm in sales as well and always in my car. Sunflower seeds and atomic fireballs got me through.
Read this site constantly, never miss roll, make some friends, and everything will be fine.

Great work Joe. It gets harder before it gets easier. But you can do this. Bunch up all your anger and throw it at each and every crave you have. Kick ass bud. Good luck.

Welcome Josey. Yous gonna be alllllllright punkin.
Been called that most of my life. Josie not punkin. Thanks, loot, I appreciate the positive.

From the moment you pulled the trigger and dumped that last can through the end of what I've read thus far on your thread, you sir have your head in the right mindset. My concern for you, however, is that you claim to have stopped dipping a number of times before, and one of those times, you stopped for over a year. What is your plan this time around? How are you going to be quit and remain quit? For starters, get that name on roll and begin to create that accountability network that Grizzly was referring to. If you're a man of your word and have a sound conscious, then the thought of stabbing your quit brothers in the back by caving to nicotine should a nice deterrent. Just start thinking about these types of questions to further your resolve. You're certainly going down the right path and I'll be glad to walk that path with you.

Josey. Got it down. Welcome, and fight through the suck. Plan on a sleepless night tonight, if you plan and have a plan, you'll be allllllllllright.
-
Joe welcome to a bad ass group of brothers in quit. You've just made one of, if not the best decision of your life, freedom. This is gonna be pure unadulterated hell. At least my quit was. Savor it, turn it into quit fuel. Feel the poison leave your system, and above all, remember the pain, let it be a reminder that you never want to go through this again. PM me if you need anything.

The difference is I was 22 years old then (invincible). Im 47 now and have 3 kids. I haven't tried to quit in 10 years. The day I go a day without thinking about dipping will be a new holiday on my calendar. Its going to happen. I just went through my first 24 hours pretty well. I expected to wake up with a headache and a massive Cope jones. Nope. Im baffled. Im sure its coming but for now Im solid. I think that ones resolve to quit has direct impact on the pain of their quit. Am I making sense? I wanted to quit badly. I planned to quit when I reached that mental point where I was ready. It was a process that took 4 or 5 months to get ready for. I tried talking some buddies into quitting with no luck. What kicked me over the edge was finding KTC. I didn't want to go through this alone.

Roll Call first Josey. Then you can gab with your buddies all you want. 1st post is Roll CAll. 1st thought when you wake up is...Roll Call. Don't waste a lot of time between the thought and the post. Take the option of a cave off the table early.
LOOT gets the point of pain/resolve. LOOT thinks you are kidding yourself :) If you think your addiction is gonna take it easy on you because it realizes you are serious this time, yous in for a serious ass whoopin. This fucker is gonna pull out all the stops just for that very reason. She will let you cruise. She will lull you to sleep while stroking your shaft. Then, she is gonna punch you right between the fucking eyes and do it again, and again, and again.
The best thing you can do is rest when you can. Identify your triggers before you hit them. After Roll Call...look at your day and identify and trouble spots. And always be prepared for the ones you don't see, that is the real test.
Quit on Josey.

Joe,
I saw you bouncing back and forth between this intro post and the Roll call....dude, there can't be any waffling. either you decide you're done and you post for all the BAQ's to see you're done, or you don't. Choice is yours, but once you commit, you commit.
Post Roll or don't.....continue to poison yourself or have a committed group of supporters to help you quit one day at a time....
In your corner, dude.

No waffling, gents. I couldn't figure out how to post to roll call. Evidently, I figured it out.
Do not take my cluelessness(on how to post roll) as a sign of weakness. No sir, I am all in.
And damn CavMan, do you have a camera over my shoulder?? Did you see me take a squirt a few min ago??
Heh heh. Thanks for caring.

:D !!!!!
Glad you're in....this group will provide you all the support you need...but can't be thin-skinned, it's like "tough love"...they give it to you straight. No BS here.

JoeC - I like seeing the old guys like myself commit to quitting. I am 40 days quit and not gonna lie, very proud of being quit. You will never regret quitting. Post every morning and be nic free for the day. Keep adding the +1s ODAAT. Quit with you today.

Still feeling strong.

How are you feeling at 40 days??
Mostly good. Been a good 40 days after the first 5 or so. The suck lives up to it's name. I still have many craves a day but it's all in my head. Major body rewiring after years of poison. It's the best move I have made in a loooong time. Now just need to stay quit, ODAAT.

Joe C,
Have yourself a great weekend brother. See you on Roll tomorrow. Mowed the yard this afternoon for the first time in decades without a lipper full of cope. Wasn't all that bad....killing them little nicotine demons one at a time....in 9 minutes I hit 72 hours...
Let the friggin' mental games begin!!

D4M is legit. He knows what's up.
That rewiring talk is true, and I haven't been alive 40 years. I don't know if you have ever flown before, but I think quitting is like flying along the tops of the clouds, moving gradually upwards - sometimes you can't see anything (the Fog), but other times it's amazing. The longer I've been quit the more amazing times I've had.
3 days and the nic is out of your system, couple weeks and your mouth has repaired about all it can, and about 21 days the receptors in your brain are back to normal. I'm day 51 and my brain is still rewiring to handle the vibrant life of a quitter... it is amazing.
Stay quit, it is totally worth it

CavMan,
I hit 72 hours an hour ago. Im going to do a bunch of yard work today as well. We'll see what triggers a crave. Hopefully, like you, it'll be fine. My trigger is the shitter. There are others but I cant have a seat without looking around for Cope.
Im feeling strong.....how bout you???

Have to be honest....I haven't had what I would call a decent dump in like four days. I don't know what it is about that crap that makes you crap, but it does. I read somewhere in an intro post or something about a guy that hit like day 10 and took the shit of his life, talking about angels and cherubs....it was funny as hell. Still waiting for my "angelic moment on the throne" :D
Other than that, I'm good. The Bacc-Off is okay....don't use near as much of it as I thought I would, but that's good too. Staying busy, staying on KTC Website (tons of good info in here from dudes what have gone before -- still in awe of 3,300 and know I got a LONG road to get there myself). One day at a time, brother, one day at a time....quitting with a website full of others going through the same struggles DAMN SURE makes it easier.
Hang tough, be strong...

Joe,
Found this tidbit in the July 14 HOF group (from ZQUITTER)....had to pass along!
You all may have thought of this already but if not, hope it helps with a couple triggers... instead of getting mouth cancer.
Taking a shit used to be a trigger? Get some Crest 3D White pre brush rinse. Rinse while shitting. Can you go the whole time without drooling? It's a new why to multi task. Really though... don't drool on the toilet carpet because it bleaches rugs as well as whitening teeth..
Need to kill 60 minutes (drying clothes, waiting at the DMV, ...)? Try white strips. You get a slimey goo to spit out (or swallow) and it has a little burn when the peroxide leaks out.
Driving time killer... grapes. I ate a 1.5 pound bag on the drive to LA. Yeah, a few calories, but better than carcinogens! I like the black grapes myself. I also keep pears ad plums in my car. (Quit Pringles around day 30.) I could never drive without using. Trying to eat healthy now and then I don't eat so much hamburger helper when I get home.
Any other quitting tips out there?

Now thats funny.
Ill try anything. Added weight, although very much not needed, is not my concern. I am eating jerky, sunflower seeds, smartees, tootsie roll pops, fake dip, tons of water.
I have lots of triggers but none have even slightly turned me toward the "dark side".

Haha...you should be done with the physical withdrawal...so they say. LOOT got bad cases of the shakes for a least a month. IT was weird...couldn't hardly hold a glass. Smack your teeth with the rim when you actually get it to your face.
Congrats on getting past the first 3. That's quite an accomplishment. Be proud man.

82 hours so I guess the nicotine is officially gone from my system. Now the mental challenge. Trying to avoid triggers.
How do you avoid triggers when you've dipped for 2/3 of your life??? I've been feeling pretty good but want to be ready for the hits when they come.
*Just worked hard in the yard for 6 hours. My old "pal' wasn't with me. Strange feeling.
*Tested myself last night with some very good bourbon. Delish and I passed the test with flying colors (I know Im going to get slapped upside the head with a biggie soon.).
What Im saying is when you've dipped as long as I DID everything about life is a potential trigger.
Im surprised that the fake dip is holding me together. Smokey MT. is a good crutch. They all taste like ass, however, for the burn factor alone, it's doing the trick.
All you quitters rock. Can you imagine how far we've come in a few days?? Without all of you I would most surely have caved. I know Im going to make it now that the nic is out and I have the Sultans watching my back. We will win the game of mental gymnastics with each others help. Stay strong, stay the course. When you're feeling like shit reach out.
Much respect,
Joe C

How do you avoid triggers when you've dipped for 2/3 of your life??? I've been feeling pretty good but want to be ready for the hits when they come.
*Just worked hard in the yard for 6 hours. My old "pal' wasn't with me. Strange feeling.
*Tested myself last night with some very good bourbon. Delish and I passed the test with flying colors (I know Im going to get slapped upside the head with a biggie soon.).
What Im saying is when you've dipped as long as I DID everything about life is a potential trigger.
Im surprised that the fake dip is holding me together. Smokey MT. is a good crutch. They all taste like ass, however, for the burn factor alone, it's doing the trick.
All you quitters rock. Can you imagine how far we've come in a few days?? Without all of you I would most surely have caved. I know Im going to make it now that the nic is out and I have the Sultans watching my back. We will win the game of mental gymnastics with each others help. Stay strong, stay the course. When you're feeling like shit reach out.
Much respect,
Joe C
Nice job passing the 3 day mark Joe. There are some triggers you simply can't avoid. As you said, for most of us, just being awake was a trigger. What you can do is prepare yourself. Have your SM can handy at all times, make sure you have some phone numbers so you can text as soon as you feel a bad crave coming on. Visiting the site, reading the stories and words of wisdom, or hopping on the live chat are big crave killers as well.
You will see this preached all over the site, but you should put down the booze for a while. It's the #1 killer of quits, and although you "got through" drinking once, take the advice of those who came before you, and don't put your quit in jeopardy.
Stay strong bud, you're killin it.

Looks like you have quite a bit of support in your corner. My story is very similar to yours. I was "ready", hence the name. That was about six years ago.
You have no idea how great things will get.
Freedom is not over rated.
You can do this.

Ready,
I am so fired up to quit nothing is going to stop me.
I can't wait until I have that first day where I don't think bout it once.
You're correct, "Freedom is not over rated". The shackles are loosening.
Thank you for your support. Have a good week.

Keep up the good work Joe. I've got my eye on your quit.

He is a Day1. We started dipping together over 30 years ago.
I reached out to him on my Day 6 and he jumped onboard. He's experiencing the shit right now.
Have a good eve. Quit on.

I mentioned that all fakes tasted like ass. Maybe so but they are tweakable.
Made a discovery today. I grabbed a can of Bacc-Off Straight. Popped it open and noticed the cut was about as close to Cope as Ive seen. Tasted pretty good...tea versus corn silks in Smokey Mt. What it was lacking was the burn I need. I dumped the can on a paper plate, gave it a good dusting with cayenne pepper and put it back in the can.
That is about as good as its gonna get. A flavor as close as you'll get and the burn chaser.

Dude it's non habit forming....sooner or later you'll get to the point where you can take it or leave it, and then after that you'll be taking it less and less and leaving it more and more....and oh by the way, when you put that shit down, you don't go through no kinda withdrawals, so that will definitely make it easier.....
Just sayin'....
How 'bout we just quit nicotine today and worry about other shit later...okay?

Saw your roll this AM.
Do these guys realize how detrimental their actions are to this site. A dysfunctional family feud is not what the FNGs signed up for. It sure would be nice if they shared their personal emails and aired their differences in private. Nobody's interested in their power struggle. Quitting is priority one. Also, calm is good. Especially when the most fragile are looking to KTC for support.

I used the fake stuff for about the first year. Cannot remember exactly when I put it down, but one day I just did not want to use it anymore.
Focus on your quit right now. Use the fake if it helps. There is nothing in it to keep you addicted.
STAY QUIT

Happy Saturday morning to ya, brother Joe.

keep moving forward, those of us who have kids heard that repeatedly in the Disney movie Meet the Robinsons, but it is so true.
no matter what may be happening, remember your quit is first above all else, you make that daily promise and then honor it. and as you move forward you will see that things will get better
trust me.

Went to the Doc the other day. Ran blood panels. Cholesterol is a bit high. Diet and exercise is the plan. I consider myself a slob at 6'3" 230 lbs (not 230 of muscle). Just painting a lovely picture here.
Anyway, most importantly, I finally told him after 8 years of going to him that I was a dipper. This doc is a great guy of Iraqi/Columbian heritage(odd heritage in rural Georgia). Being in GA he didn't actually seemed surprised. In fact he said he tried it once(at UGA) and it put him on his back. Regardless, I was embarrassed after all these years, to tell another man, an adult and a doctor none-the-less that I was poisoning myself intentionally. I was embarrassed that I knew all of the potential health risks and chose to continue. I was embarrassed that I was literally telling my family, " Eff You...Cope is more important!!!".
I figured the time is right to spill the beans. I told him that I had been quit for 4 weeks and he was amazed. He concurred with what we all know that the nicotine addiction makes it hell to quit whatever form one chooses to kill oneself with. He went through his exam and the last thing was the mouth exam. Never had that before because I never told him. Evidently, a few weeks is all it takes. The mouth heals fast and there were zero signs of what he called sub-mucous fibrosis or pre-cancerous tissue. In fact other than the seriously degraded gum lines (he pointed out my favorite dip spot) he said there are no obvious signs that I was ever a dipper.
Fucking Phew!!!!!! Fucking Phew!!!!!! Fucking Phew!!!!!!
.
I'm looking forward to seeing my kids graduate, get married start a family and bring those little offspring home to Papa (me).
I can't say I was feeling very confident about that happening 31 days ago.
Thank you guys for helping me. Our sometimes dysfunctional family still has everyone's best intentions at its core. Saving a life everyday is what its all about.
Thanks again, brothers.
Peace

Joe, you have a strong quit going here, but tread easy right now, many a quitter lost their way after a positive medical/dental exam. My dentist always knew I was a chewer, but after I got the "no cancer" results I couldn't get a dip in my mouth fast enough. I quit with you today Joe.

That is a great post. I remember hiding my dipping from both my doctors and my dentists. Filling out forms saying I was a non tobacco user, just because I didn't want them to look too hard at my mouth and gums. Congrats on your quit and manning up with your Iraqi/Columbian doctor...You sure he was a doctor bro?

42 and not lookin' back. Its all good!!!!!
I was checking out the KTC Face-book site and have a question. Perhaps its a dumb question. Perhaps the answer is here somewhere and I just don't feel like looking for it. Perhaps its just a "thing".
What's with the shocker hand gesture?? I've been trying to make the correlation but cannot.
Will somebody please educate a brother??!!??

Are you really asking someone to define a "Shocker" to you?
-
C'mon, Im a man, my friend.
Is their a reason that most people are displaying that gesture when photographed? Facebook has all sorts of photos of quitters doing that. Is their some correlation between quitting and slipping a digit into your lady's ass??? Oh and two in the pink, sorry.
Just sayin.

Just noticed that when I typed the word shocker the emoticon replaced my word. Is that why you thought I needed explanation??

It happened again. Had to uncheck the box below (Display emoticons in your post).

Josey, I know I'm jumping the gun but I have a busy day tomorrow and didn't want to forget to congratulate you. The century mark is no joke. Now start paying it back. You're out of the woods (sort of, I really wasn't stacking together several crave free days until after 1 year) but try to help other people with the same enthusiasm you showed early in your quit. Not only will you be helping people, you'll be strengthening your quit in the process. Regardless I quit with you today.

Congrats on 100 Joe C! Shit, I still remember the fact we (apparently) woke up around the same time in the beginning of your quit. I prayed I could get on and post support for September before ya ... you were a bumping Sumnabitch!! You've come a long way brother, but you are not done ... not cured. Proud of ya! Refocus tomorrow, start thinking about how you can stay active and stave off complacency post-HOF. Complacency kills quits, guard your quit ... You've earned it!
