Started dipping in college/lacrosse team....kid told me not to start wish I listened. Was a Resident Assistant with the posters on the wall outside my room. Look at this guys mouth after dipping for 10 years the poster says - In my head = "Who would do that I would quit as soon as my gums started showing any wear"
So here we are 18 years later.
Have attempted to quit a number of times on my own for various different reasons, with varying degrees of success (if measured by how long quit) though if I am here not really ever successful.
Why now - well its just time - my gums are receding, just lost an old filling - but I think most impactful was that my oldest had ordered some Hooch (which I have used previously) for himself - so it would look like he was dipping. I dont even want him to start - even pretending - told him as much....now have the hooch in my face... need to get through today.

This site can help you kick your nicotine habit to the curb. We don't use words like try or hope as they are just another excuse for our addictive brains to tell us another lie. There are no short cuts, but here are some links that will help you navigate this site.
This a NO NICOTINE site. End of discussion. Why this Site Works (http://www.killthecan.org/about/why.asp)
Biggest thing to do is get acquainted with this site.
Highly recommend you go here: WELCOME CENTER (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showforum=13), Getting acclimated (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=7614) and What to Expect (http://www.killthecan.org/yourquit/what.asp)
Your quit decision MUST be 100% your decision. Anything short of that sets you up for failure by allowing your addict brain to blame a given situation as reason for you to go back to the can
-
Go read the stuff Cbird sent you. Then man, realize it is gonna be miserable. You already know that but we are here to support you. You can and will do this, it's as simple as making a decision to post roll every damn day and then keeping your word. You will be in the September quit group, good for you too cause they are shaping up into a bad ass group! Do this, I will do it with you!
-
Thanks CBird65 - Im all in
Killed the can yesterday afternoon - but calling today day 1
-
Thanks Erussell
Havin a real hard time actually doing any work today.... posted roll today. will make it till tomorrow and start again!
Really wish I could do some work though - (going for walk around bldg)
-
I just PMd you with my number. Send me yours. My quit was pretty foggy. Actually I was in such a daze my secretary sent me home two different times once was two weeks into my quit. You will unlikely experience it for that long but who knows. Anyway call or text me if you need. And you are a total bad ass for posting roll man! I am quiting with you right now in this very moment!

The first week, maybe 2, will be really tough to focus and concentrate on anything including work. But your life is the most important thing, so priority #1 is to stay quit, everything else is priority #2 or lower.
If you have a decent boss, you could explain to him/her what you're going thru, that its temporary, but you'll be a bit less effective at work for a week or two. Thats the best route IMO.
I'm quitting with you today bro, lets do this.

Hey -
yes rick is absolutely right, let your boss know as not only will it be the lack of focus as you go through the initial fog, but with all the ups and downs you will go through, it could be the anger and short temper that some have, or just emotional outbursts. It will let him know that it is what you are going through and not your true self.
Quit on....
-
I gotta ask - when you joined the site on March 22, why didn't you quit then?

I was pretty much useless at work for the first week. Work will still be there. It will get so much better.
It is so worth it.
You can do this.

Can't really say - I was still playing victim / this happened or that happened - just need a dip to get through etc...
Don't want to speak for all - but like some of the other posts I have seen
-my mind was totally wrapped up in the bs of why I couldn't do it, or it wasn't the right time etc -
Yesterday - sitting at my desk drooling into a coffee cup - I just said fu##it.... I'm done.
And I am done
still drooling into a coffee cup today - but its the herbal stuff my kid bought from chatta

I just said fu##it.... I'm done.

What Per said,
Well done brother, welome! First step is making the decision, second step is keeping your word.
Post roll everyday, quit one day at a time, no excuses no caving. It's no longer an option for you.

Day 2 - Posted roll
Day 1 recap : Total fog all day - hope my team was working cause I spent the day here at KTC more or less - could not concentrate on anything. End of day let some in on the fact that I was quit and its fucking with me
Went home, quick run with wife, made something to eat, chatted with kids.
Went to bed at like 8pm / didn't even watch B's game.
Came clean to the wife that I was not quit until yesterday when I posted roll then explained about KTC.
I am very fucking annoyed by everything right now - I think I have the shortest fuse - I am ready to go monkey crazy -
-
I don't know if this would work for you but I bought 1 dozen hot Krispy Kreme donuts one day before I actually quit so I wouldn't use for the day. I was planning to quit support free, needed something to get me started. Worked till all the donuts were gone. I didn't keep trying that though. I agree with taking time off from work. I would really take 2 or 3 days off if you need to especially if you have vacation time. Once you're through the first 5 to 7 days you should be back to at least being able to fake your way through work. Good luck DONT GIVE UP like I did not matter what, this might be your only chance.

You can do this.
Ready is still pretty much worthless, but he right.
It gets MUCH better.
And it is TOTALLY worth it.

Day 2 done:
Was Day 1 repeat - I think I managed to do all the 50% to 75% brain capacity stuff I could (dont really know what I got done though - still have a shit ton of email)
Actually was a little scared to go to the pet supply store to pick up dog food by myself... normally that would involve a quick side trip to the corner store 1st.
Made it to pet store - got dog food made it home - no side trip - I was really proud of myself (in hindsite its pretty silly - 38years old being pumped up that I went to the correct store and only that store and bought what I needed and came right home - what have you done to my Nic you turned me into a 5 year old)
Day 3 - Feeling much better - clear headed - think work should go ok today :)
Thanks to all the guys that PM'd yesterday txt'd

I walk into a drug store or convenience store or gas station nowadays, and it's like, "Six fucking dollars for a can? Fuck that!" Then I go buy myself six dollars worth of Hostess cup cakes and a two liter of Mountain Dew and down it all right there in the store. Then I run laps around the store to burn off the calories I just consumed. Then I do a half hour "cool down" consisting of various yoga poses in the walk in beverage cooler. When the police arrive I am usually feeling pretty good.

Thanks for the laugh .... picturing someone doing laps around the store/ yoga poses..

You've just described what "quit" is.
Most of the time, it's easy. But there are some moments you got to put some effort into. Congrats. I'm proud of you.
Keep up the great work.

Closing out day 4 -
Mostly good day - had to face couple of triggers head on today. Made it through - out of the blue the nic bitch starts with the sweet nothings.... a timely txt from iizphilister killed the bitch and also my phone (not sure how you did that - but the fucker is dead)
Some early evening chat with the vets / Waste jaginvest
Don't know exactly why but just spent the last hour or so on you tube - was mostly looking for oral cancer survivors - and WTF - seriously there are fucking youtube vids about dipping - fuck them and the bullshit they spew. I know I am only 4 days into this quit but really this is what your going to make a video about? Look like a bunch of chimps eating shit...
any way - day 5 starts in 10 mins. see you all to post roll (in @ 7 hours I m going to bed)
-
Day 5 - over all very good.... did spend about 5 minutes in the car swearing at myself while the bitch was playing with my head... so if I get any weird looks in town at least I know why (or I am just funny looking)
Day 6 - bring it on

Day 6 - bring it on
I once sat in a gas station parking lot and got in and out of my car 4 times while I debated on going to buy a can. Made it halfway to the store door all 4 times. I looked dumb. But who cares! You and I did not buy that chew! At the end of the day that's all that matters!

just remember gents (as this was also mentioned to me too), but when you are in those situations, a quick text to a brother or sister can help reduce that time of sweating it. I too tried to fight through it on my own (like a dumbass) and what would have been only 5 minutes with a quick text had turned into an almost hour or more (can read it in my intro thread, I was around the day 30 mark).

Derek speaks the truth! I quick text, will help kill a crave. Flynn, I am proud of you. You are owning this quit. I see you in Chat, you are being active on the site. You got this!

Day 8 - Was thinking last night as I was out cutting the lawn (no dip / no fake but kinda wanting one) this lot in life stuff is just is not fair... I am an asshole....
(So besides the "that goes without saying" I was specifically thinking on this)
So young girl currently in 7th grade, was in class with my son for years diga w Cancer in 4th grade I think, she lost her leg to it in 5th grade - came back she was doing alright for awhile, but I heard it was back. This 13 / 14 year old girl Fighting cancer and clinging to life.... I knowingly stuffed a pinch of cancer between my cheek and gum for longer than this poor girl has been alive....and it just feels so wrong - made me think of Evil_won's HOF post - and I think yeah I am an addict but I guess I am also a douche bag (w/o the tan) for all the effort I put into dipping trying to hide it and basically saying I am a healthy guy with potential for a long life.. I am married with 3 kids lets see how many years I can miss from your lives with cumlative "nija dipping/ hiding in bathrooms, long ride home etc, and then whatever years get cut off on the back end from this shit - what a dick...
I am QLF - but feeling like an asshole heading into day 9

Dude. Proud of you bro. All these little victories make up the big picture of a truly badass quit. Every new experience nic free is AMAZING! You've heard it before but I'll say it again... One day at a time. I think you've got that down man.
Oh... Don't ask Phil to take anything. You don't know what might happen 'crackup'

So need to spend a bit less time on KTC at work, work is now needing to spend more time with me (all the time)
We had a new financial system roll out on 4/1 and still have not closed april, may getting into June.
As the Revenue Ops mgr this more or less falls on me so I have been on 18 hours days and not sure where the light is at the end of the tunnel..
The good part of that is that I am on day 14 - and have a draw full of fake, but have been too busy to even think about a dip (boy thats a change in habit)
But I am hungry right now and could use a snickers or something....
Happy 2 weeks to me :unsure:

Congrats Flynnie!!
What a blessing that you've been able to be quit for a full two weeks before the job ratchets up a notch. You've had an opportunity to make contacts, engage with people, learn about your quit, and now have the tools to win a day at a time. I quit with you today.

Day 22 dawns...
Been head down at work - but managed a boys weekend dip free (which my buddy appreciated - no dipping on his new boat or in his house, no spitters to collect on Sunday morning :)
Appreciate those who have reached out to make sure my quit is still going strong (it is) and the words of encouragement

3 weeks in Flynnie! You got this. Proud to be quit with you today brother.
You know what's funny: this weekend I went on a trip with a buddy as well. He's not a dipper and started encouraging me to quit a couple years ago, so his accountability helps. But that being said, it's obviously my choice whether to stay quit or not. If I'd wanted to cave he couldn't stop me.
Well, driving has always been a trigger for me. And spending 12 hours in a car I thought would be tough. I thought about dipping a couple of times to be certain, but never fought a real strong crave during the whole trip. Having a friend there to talk to helped, but what I thought about when I got back home last night was how liberating it was to go on a trip and visit landmarks without having to worry about having supply, having a place to spit, dealing with spitters that were getting full or gross, etc. That addiction owned me and it was such a hassle to do. There will be tough days ahead without doubt but glad to be quit with you today.

Heading to the dentist on the 8th first time in 2 years.... see what they have to say about the ol gum line some ol cavities. Hopefully a clean cancer screen and some nice clean teeth....
Work still sucks - not helping the craves (still hit mostly on the ride home from work) but getting through so far

I went to the dentist two weeks ago (and two weeks after I quit). The leukoplakia was already gone and my dentist was so pumped that I'd quit (he's a former chewer himself, quit after he started dental school and saw how terrible it was for your mouth and general well-being). Not to say that everything is cured right after you quit; you'll still be at an elevated risk for cancer for another 10 years. But guess what: you're quit today, you've gotten to meet some good companions in your quit group, and your body is already healing itself as sores in your mouth will heal and your blood vessels expand, increasing blood flow to your limbs, extremities, and brain. Proud to have you in our group and excited to hear what the dentist says.

Hit a solid month today -
Had a great day at the beach - Usually this would involve me needing to "walk back to the car for something" so that I could ninja a dip without anyone in my family knowing.
None of that and it was a great day... now I just need to quit trying to toss my oldest son since he only weighs about 30 pounds less and is the same height
(tweaked the ol back - hard time getting out of bed this morning) :) QLF today

Good job brother. Ahhhh the beach.
I wasn't a ninja dipper, so I just dipped away right there. Spitting right in the ocean where my kids and wife were swimming. Occasionally I would spit in the sand and cover it up with more sand. What an ass hat I was! Thinks for the memories. I hate the poison!!! Quit with you brother.
-
So made it to the dentist today - I guess could have been a lot worse :rolleyes:
Need to go back for 5 bonds to cover exposed roots / and have the remaining half of a filling yanked and refilled..

Work blows, passively looking for a new gig (cause the commute is a least not bad currently)
M-in Law coming to my house from rehab (hip replacement) in 2 days for an extended stay.
Just pluggin along in all things 24 hours at a time.
Quit for today

Just spun through the spreadsheet - wow there are a lot of cavers in Slutember!
Drives home that this quit aint easy... thankful for the accountability
-
Had my first real test in a bit - driving from Boston to Harrisburg with the fam -
I am glad I had prepared the car with Atomic hotballs and a tin of Hooch.
Those drives over 4 hours were always good for a ninja dip...
It is liberating to be clean - how much of life did we miss sneaking around trying not to be caught ... enjoyed Hershey Park Gettysburg with the fam with no other cravings.

Congrats on making it through a long drive, I know for many here that's an issue, most of all me. I haven't tried one yet longer than my 1/2 hr commute, but even that requires hooch for me now. ODAAT. So thanks for posting that a roadtrip is possible! :D

Ok man today marks a milestone yet it's only proof that the method of ODAAT and that posting roll and accountability of the brotherhood is working. Stay close to the site. I quit with your bad ass all damn day bro.
Our train stops next in Dedham MA to pick up a man by the screen name flynniej15. This bad ass quitter is married of 15years and has 3 kids, Son = 14, Daughter = 13, Son = 9. He started dipping at 19 years old and would dip just about anything other than the Rooster, yuck lmao. He wants to bring Guinness or maybe some vodka or gin onto the train and pleads that we contact his wife only after emergency medical responders have been called out in the event of an emergency. flynniej15 will do anything inappropriate of which he can convince his wife to let him do. As an example, once he hung off the trunk of a car driving down main street of WestRox (when I was invincible 18/19) stunt man style grabbing the trunk near the back windshield. That's dicked up bro!!!
To celebrate he is going to post a +1 and sign up for 200,,,,what a bad ass.
When asked about words of wisdom he simply said "Read, as much as you can - especially when you are in the fog. Then come back and read more, get on chat"! Great advice bro.
This guy claims to be a Revenue Operations Manager (whatever that is lol) sounds f-ing important though! And he says he drives an Urban Assault Vehicle made by Honda! I have googled that and everything....I just can't find one of those. It sounds BA, so send us the make and model please lmao. He likes hockey so we know he hasn't got any of his own teeth, it's gotta be easier to keep your dentures clean now that our quit huh????? He also climbs trees, this must be to hunt poor, innocent, defenseless, unarmed, and helpless animals. Can I get on your lease?????
When asked Whom are you most afraid of getting on your ass from KTC? This quitter responded "Evil, but would be more concerned about letting folks down then ass whoopin", I smell quit all over this guy!!!
flynniej15 sends out a big thanks to the guys that reached out when he first posted and encouraged and set him on the straight. The folks on Chat like 2mch and illphil After that he began to look to his own group JRiz, Duth, Matt shu and he says "To many to name - those that sent digits texts and really the folks on Chat late night"
Then this bad ass posted this below to Jake and I which I appreciated very much.
"Thanks guys - the train stop seemed out of reach the day I posted 1 and 1/2. Through your example and those of other Vets I have learned to only worry about not dipping today and the counting of +1 days is just a byproduct of the accountability here". Hell yes get on the damn train bro you've earned every damn bit of your seat here, quit with you Erussell.
