Just flushed the last of my dip after 25 years. I am quitting today but listed my quit day as 9/11 for symbolic reasons. That date is my oldest kid's 16th birthday.
Glad I found this site as I think this is one thing I can't do alone.

Good job. Make sure this quit is for you. Don't feel bad about being a little selfish with your quit. Lots of family men here and like you, we would lay down our lives for our children. All I'm saying is when it comes to quitting it needs to be 100% about saving your own life. It'll sink in at some point. Anyway, welcome aboard and welcome to freedom.

Welcome Islander would like to know more about you. But with a short intro I will give you a short piece of advice. Stopping dipping is easy, quitting dipping is hard. Be prepared to battle every day to stay quit. Nothing arms you for that battle more than posting roll (it's your daily promise) Thinking about my own roll post has been the difference between stopping and quitting.
-
Thanks for the welcomes. Posted roll today and am going to tomorrow too.
-
Welcome to the family bro. Reach out to us everyone in your quit group. This isn't gonna be easy but it is possible. You can do this!
-
Welcome man. Great choice. Best advice I can give is to post roll daily, as soon as you get up. Be accountable to yourself and to your brothers here at KTC. You will be amazed the power of this brotherhood with guys you have never met. Good luck. we are all here for you.
-
Welcome to RANT man!! Remember keep posting roll daily and if you need to rant and yell thats what we are here for. Every single guy in here shares one thing in common. We know how are it is to quit, but we are doing it one day at a time.
-
Welcome islander, great choice!
-
Welcome Islander. Drink lots of water the next few days and drink the KTC kook-aid (read, read and read some more on this site).
You'll never regret quitting.
Quit on!
-
Can't believe the level of support in this community. I've been a bit selfish getting through these past few days. Keeping to myself and reading the shit out of the intros, HOF speeches, and all the other posts.
Probably would have caved without this community. Basically for the past ten years I've been a ninja dipper. I was so good at it that barely anyone knew that I was a dipper. Have tried to stop many times but I was accountable to no one and failed time and again.
So here I am. I want it this time and this quit is going to happen. Ready for day 4 tomorrow. Anyone feel free to hit me up anytime. Not sleeping much these days anyway.
Quit with all of you today.
-
Hang in there Islander! Day 4 was when things started to feel better. At least compared to days 1-4. Drink water until it hurts. Seeds, fake dip, whatever gets you through the day man!
xxx-xxx-xxxx
Chris Griffin. Text or call if you want or need help. Only 5 days ahead of you but I'm here to say it gets better!
If that is who I think you have as your avatar, that is fucking awesome! Great movie and remember, Throat cancer got Levon. Quit on Brother!
May 9 is a great birthday, everyday is a great quit day!

Griffin, I edited your phone number. We HIGHLY recommend you don't post that kind of personal info on the boards, especially in an open thread like an Intro. Anyone can see Intros, that includes non-KTC members.
Shoot Islander a PM if you need to. Those are indeed, private.

You have a Jonas Brother as your avatar? I still quit with you today.

Ha! Never! This guy is about the most opposite of a Jonas brother that a person could be.

Whatever. Educate yourself and google Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, and Levon Helm. Or to make it easier just search for The Band.

Thanks but no thanks, other than 80's hair metal the only new thing I listen to is Steel Panther and Slipknot. I do however, QLF with you today.

The Band pre-dates your 80's hair rock. In fact, The Band probably inspired a good number of those guys.
Quit with you too, Flatlander (sorry, will never be able to call someone 'from away' an Islander)

Quit with you guys too. May be from away but still grew up on an island one without a bridge

Was there a lot of inbreeding? Not that anything is wrong with that...

A little bit but it was confined to a few families.

There is a long standing joke up here about Beals Island. The cemetary is filled with headstones that read either "Beals" or "Abel". Seriously. It's fucking creepy.
Anyway, the joke (which may or may not be true) is that the State of Maine errected the first bridge to Beals Island in the 50's to stop all the inbreeding.
Probably not as funny reading it as it is if you live here, sorry. First cup of coffee. I'm not on my game yet today.

I believe it. No bridge option where I grew up. 2+ hour ferry ride.
