Hey everybody, my name is Broc and today I quit dipping. I'm 21 years old and have been dipping off and on since I was 16, but a steady can+ everyday for the last year. I found this site to help me quit. I tried to stop dipping today, but already smoked 2 cigarettes and chewed 4 pieces of nicotine gum to knock the edge off. Starting tonight at midnight I am done with all of it. This shit is gonna suck. I'm in college and I am attempting to study and do homework right now, but can't concentrate without a dip in. 'bang head' Any advice?

You must want this more than anything else in your life right now.
You asked for advice, let me ask you something first and maybe we can save some time and effort here.
What are you willing to do to stay quit?
Hint: There is only one correct answer.
Your reply will determine your fate.

Broc, there will NEVER be a "good time" to quit. You've made the decision. Flush every bit of nicotine you have down the toilet. Around here the big thing is to make your daily promise that you will not use any form of nicotine for that one single day. You do that by posting roll in your quit group (June).
1. Post roll
2. Keep your word
3. Repeat
When you can't focus, get on here and read, read, read. Screw schoolwork for a couple of the toughest days if you have to. What's a bad grade in exchange for a healthy life down the road? A pretty damn good trade if you ask me. I'm only on day 26 but I feel so much better. I can think better and focus longer now.
A good substitute that has worked for me has been coffee grounds. I really struggled with fatigue and the caffeine actually helped me. It can put too much caffeine in some people though so you might want to try decaf. Just a thought.
PM people and get numbers too. Lean on them and don't take it out on any friends or family. Yell at us. We can take it.
Anyone can keep a promise for one day. Now do it.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll go post roll here in a second when I figure out how that works. I'm willing to do anything it takes to quit. Is it for health? Ya kinda. Itll be good for my heart and shit. Maybe keep me from getting mouth cancer. That's great. What pisses me off is that I'm a 6'4" 310lb man getting his ass kicked by a little plastic can. I want to run my life. I want to be able to dictate what I do during the day. I don't want to change whatever I'm doing to have a dip. Fuck it

Good for you! Great decision to take your life back!
Now keep that dedication on your mind at the beginning middle and end of every day!!!
Stay quit one day at a time.

Broc,
You were getting your ass kicked by a can. No more, brother. You have decided to quit and have taken the power back. Fuck tobacco. And fuck EVERYTHING ABOUT tobacco. You are the man.
-
Good call Broc-
Take control. 1 day at a time. Quitting is hard, the nicotine bitch won't give up easily. But you can do it.
-
Good start. Now don't fuck this up. You have a good thing going here now.
Quality of life is huge.
Freedom is no over-rated.
Keep your word.

You've got the right attitude. Go over to June and post roll, stay quit for the day, and repeat every day. It's a promise to us, and your quit brothers.
I'm not 6'4, 310....but I'll chew your fucking ass out if you think about caving. Cavers are pussies. And we don't have those around here.
You may dream about dip, you may want to suck dip's dick...but if you give in, you are weak. That's my mentality anyway. It's a tough battle, but the freedom is so much worth it. So are clean teeth and being able to get into your truck without throwing a spit bottle out of the floorboard.
I'm glad I found this site. Glad you did, too. If you stick with it, you have a whole army of dudes backing you in your quit. I'll quit with you today.

Thanks guys. I'm right at 24 hours. I wanna punch shit but life is good. Gonna be hard to not dip while fishing or golfing but I'm ready for it. I dont need it! No caving, just quitting!

That helps tons. I do a lot of fishing and golfing, and it's what I use. Once you get out of the fog and start thinking clearly, there's really not a whole lot of difference.
Do whatever you can...but keep nicotine out of your body. Don't go around suckin' dicks or anything...but if you have to buy lifesavers, gum, sunflower seeds etc...do it! Don't put that shit in your mouth!

Thanks for the link. I'll be ordering some tomorrow. I also promise not to suck any dicks. Now if I could just convince my girlfriend to suck mine a little more often...

Hahahahah. I just spit Smokey Mountain on my screen!!! You and me both, brother.
Sweet deal bro. This stuff is probably as bad for your teeth as tobacco. But at least you don't have to deal with the nic bitch. And at this point, that's the goal. Whatever it takes...but no nice.

Can't sleep tonight. Too excited that you are a Clemson fan, Jonathan. You poor soul. I know this quit is all about me but tomorrow, just for that first craving, I quit for you. I stay quit because I know the only thing worse than caving would be living my life as a Clemson fan. Go COCKS!

Touche, friend.
Just keep that shit out of your mouth.

I walked into the tobacco store today and snagged 3 cans of mint snuff. It was nice to have something to spit. I ordered some smokey mtn chew today in a few different flavors, even grape. I was a big Kayak Grape guy in high school. How fucking nostalgic. Day 2 really wasn't bad. Kinda foggy but other than that it's all good. I'm not gonna let my guard down.

You bought cans of snuff? As in, tobacco?
-
NO NO I should have included this in the first post. It's a product called Mint Snuff from the Oregon Mint Snuff Co. No tobacco, no nicotine. Just mint leaves and such. I got it to hold me over until the smokey mountain stuff gets here. It's kinda gummy and strange but oh well
www.mintsnuff.com (http://www.mintsnuff.com) I saw a video of Bobby Cox with some and had to snag a few cans. Mint, spearmint, and cinnamon. The cinnamon is no good. It expired like 2 years ago. The other 2 taste ok. They had it at a tobacco shop down the street

Cool. You had me worried there for a minute.

My name is bweave09 and I caved.
To anyone who might remember me, I am here to apologize. I made a feeble attempt at a quit in March. I was given support and friendship that I couldn't even count on from the best of my friends outside of this forum and I shat on it. I completely disrespected everyone here, everyone that cared, everyone that quit when I pussied out. The last 5 months have been rough. Between my parents' divorce, a breakup with my stupid bitch of an ex girlfriend, getting back with the woman that I never should have left, financial struggles, and a whole bunch of other shit, I had a lot of ammo that I used to convince myself that I needed dip. I'm ready to drop the excuses and grow my nutsack real fuckin big. I am here, ready to face all of the criticism and hate because I can't do it alone. I am a grown ass man on the verge of a panic attack because I can't have my grizzly. I'm almost 48 hours into my quit, my final quit, my only real quit, and I feel like I am going to fucking die. I have an accounting exam tomorrow that I can't make myself study for. I play competitive golf and today I imploded on the golf course because the dip wasn't there to calm me down. The last 2 days have been a constant shouting match with my girlfriend because I am so pathetic that I can't keep my cool without nicotine. She is being as supportive as she can, but my blowups aimed at her aren't fair. I'm telling this to a bunch of strangers because I literally can not do this alone. I'm done. Another few hours without someone who actually understands what this feels like and I'm a caver once again.
Though I owe everyone here an apology, there is one person on this board that I am really impressed by. About 2 months ago, a solid 3 months after I caved, I got an email from Mthomas3824. He told me that he noticed that I stopped posting, assumed I caved, and that he would quit and walk with me all the way to the HOF if I ever decided to come back. This guy doesn't know me from any other jerkoff with a computer but he cared enough to email me months later and let me know that I really can do this. At the time I brushed it off. I had no interest in quitting. I didn't even have the balls to respond. So Mthomas3824, I am incredibly sorry for letting you down, blowing you off, and completely disrespecting you. You are my inspiration for this quit. To everyone else, I am ready for the hate, the shit talking, the doubt. I deserve it all.
I wouldn't come back without a plan, but I am sure the one I have could use some refining. A coworker quit on Sunday (2 days before me) and on days that we don't work together I'll text him when the quit sucks worst and he'll help. He, however, won't join KTC and doesn't seem to be having as difficult of a time. I need this website and the people on it to keep me quit. I'm avoiding fake chew, seeds, and the like because they seem to make me want a dip even worse. I have told my close friends that I am quitting and they have agreed to dip around me as little as possible. I will post roll every day without fail. If a situation ever arises where I can not get internet access, I will notify a quit brother via text or phone call. When I tried to quit last time, it seemed to be way too easy. I think that made it easier for me to cave because I didn't think I'd ever be a raging dip monster again. I was wrong. I think I'm paying for it this time. I feel like absolute dog shit. My head hurts, I feel weak, I can't concentrate on anything (except for this post for some reason), and I am craving nicotine worse than I ever have before. This time I will not take the quit lightly. I will avoid nicotine at all costs.
I know you guys want to tear me apart right now (especially June Platoon) and please don't hold back, but I could really use some advice and maybe a little support too. I know I don't deserve it but fuck this is hard.

Welcome back, I will quit with you bro. We all make mistakes, I appreciate that you came back and manned up. I am sure the storm is going to come for you, I will not bring it with me, post up roll, quit everyday then repeat.
You seem to have a quit plan, but I am concerned about the "friends" that will dip as little as possible around you, bro you do not need the temptation.
PM me if you would like my digits....

Boo-fucking-woo
Let's start with 58 posts and you were in June'12? Take this shit seriously or gtfo
Blaming a breakup and an divorce, weak shit. What are you goin to do next time life gets rough? Roll over and continue to let the nic bitch rape you? Man up, post roll and stay quit
-
Thank you to both of you for the quick responses and the support.
-
I think we all know what you're going through but this is your 2nd time through. Whet exactly are you looking for us to tell you? It sucks donkey dick. I think you know what to do, drink water, excersise, keep busy, don't be a punk and blow up at your girl, etc...There's no magic quit pill at cvs now since last time you quit.
You know what to do bro...post roll, quit for the day and repeat. Sucks you have to do this twice, but this is on you. Man the fuck up. Get pissed at yourself, find some inner strength and attack this shit head on. I wish I would have when I first quit but I came at it like a pussy and was a fucking mess. I wish I would have taken my own advice....
-
Just a quick check. 48 hours quit? Why aren't you on DEC roll post. I don give two shits what time it is. Post now! Don't wait. Post your promise now.

I did post! Got bumped I think. I'll fix it real quick
-
Well, I think you got a little of everything so far. All great advice but the message remains the same. I'm new here and would love to walk through the shit-storm with you. Post, promise, repeat. Be accountable and, as has been written, man the fuck up! Find your inner bad mother fucker and take this head on.
If you know anything about setting up the spreadsheet, let me know. Me and another guy are in process of getting that up and running for the Dec group. Maybe that involvment will help you stay quit when the shit hits the fan. Also get in Chat, post what's fucking with you and help others. I'll be looking for you every day and will PM you if you're not there. PM me if you want to trade digits. We are all here for you. Now strap on your chinstrap tight and take your medicine. You'll survive it just like you'll make it to 100 and beyond with me.
Jax out bitches

bweave09,
Well, welcome back. Now you are a December Quitard, we don't care what or who you were before, now your one of us. Post roll every day, PM me for digits, and Stay quit with us today.

First off, put this in your signature. Read it every morning, and remember this quit plan.
I need this website and the people on it to keep me quit. I'm avoiding fake chew, seeds, and the like because they seem to make me want a dip even worse. I have told my close friends that I am quitting and they have agreed to dip around me as little as possible. I will post roll every day without fail.
Secondly, I do want to commend you in planning for your quit. Most people come back thinking they "have this". It takes a man to come back with his tail between his legs and admit he was wrong. Please explain and answer any questions about your failure in your new and old groups, and be ready for some shit.
You deserve it.
Artist in the Ambulance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQK2DxHTCbw)
Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up
And I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white
They flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and I am gone
Now I lay here owing my life to a stranger
And I realize that empty words are not enough
I'm left here with the question of just
What have I to show except the promises I never kept?
I lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets
[Chorus:]
I hope that I will never let you down
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound
Look around and you'll see that at times it feels like no one really cares
It gets me down but I'm still gonna try to do what's right, I know that there's
A difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have
There's a line drawn in the sand, I'm working up the will to cross it and
[Chorus]
Rhetoric can't raise the dead
I'm sick of always talking when there's no change
Rhetoric can't raise the dead
I'm sick of empty words, let's lead and not follow
Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
My world goes black before I feel an angel steal me from the
Greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady hands
They've given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance
[Chorus]
Can we pick you off the ground, more than flashing lights and sound

While looking through the KTC Twitter page, I stumbled on a twitter called @Daily_Dip. This guy posts stuff about "packing bombs" and fatties and shit. A few days ago I would have thought that shit was awesome. Now I see it and think about how fucking stupid this guy is. Funny how a few days can change your perspective. My woman is getting into town tonight and she won't let me even think about nicotine. We'll be too busy anyway 'boob' . I'll make sure to post roll during my morning shit though.
