Hey everyone,
My name is David and I have been dipping for about two years and I'm so tired of doing it. I have been trying to quit but I have yet to be successful. So I went on Google and this website was the first thing that popped up.
After I went to the live chat to see if this website was actually active, a couple please asked me if I wanted to quit and I explained to them that I did and that I have tried and why it has been so hard so far.
Well these gentlemen; Kdip, visa, franpro, and quitinCA spoke with me and told me to flush my dip down the toilet. Well, I did. I kept the can and wrote today's date on it. Hopefully to keep this as my last can.
Wish me luck, I'm gunna need it.

David,
Congratulations on making the decision to quit. Good call listening to the gents in chat — saying you'll quit tomorrow or "as soon as I finish this can" is a risky business.
Make sure you post roll everyday. Something I'm learning real fast is that a successful quit (and a successful life, I would think) has an equation: Accountability + Brotherhood = Success.
Best of luck in these next few days. Quitting is tough long after these three days, but the physical effects in the first 72 hours can be overwhelming. Make that promise that you won't dip today and go post roll.
If you quit today, you'll be in the December group. You can post roll here (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/10503924/164/#new).

Congrats on quitting. It's probably the best decision you'll ever make in your life.
My advice: Throw that trophy can away. Post roll with your quit group. Honor your word for the rest of today. Wake up in the morning and post roll again.
I quit with you today.

I'm with Griz... Throw that can away. It's a tether to a past that you're leaving behind. Break ties and break them completely. If you need a trophy, take a screen shot of your roll post each day. It's more meaningful.
Also... Words like "hope" and "try" don't fly here.
We do.
Simple as that. We've blazed the path... Now follow it. Freedom is yours for the taking.

Glad to see you join David. Time to take your life back!

You have just been given excellent advice from some serious badass quitters, listen to it. I will second the hoping crap, we don't hope for shit, we just do it. You want to succeed, be a man of your word. Post roll every damn day and promise to not use nicotine in any form for 24 hours and keep your word. Do it again the next day and you will never lose. I stopped many times before finding KTC and now for 293 days I have beat the nicotine whore into the ground each day because guys like Apple Jack showed me how. So welcome to the asylum and lets not hope or wish for the best, lets just QUIT!

Welcome to the family bro. This will be the hardest thing you've ever done but it is possible to experience freedom w/o having a can on you. All of the vets are living proof. There is hope redemption is possible but you gotta want this more than anything. I'll quit w/ you today.

Congrats on a great decision. Having dipped for two years you have not experienced the agony a lot of us long term dippers have which is quitting for a long time only to cave. So here's my advice to you. You are an addict. Don't forget it. What did in the rest of us? We thought we could have a dip because we we'd been quit long enough to no longer be addicted. Happened to me when I quit at 23.....19 more years of dipping later I found this site. So unlike me, make this your only quit. Good luck.
