I guess I'll start how most people here have. I'm 27 and started smoking at 12.
It began with one or two cigarettes a day and by 15 I was close to a pack a day. At 16, I started dating this really country girl who hated that I smoked, but her family all chewed so I made the switch. I was introduced to "real men's dip" at work and through her family and developed a 1-2 can a day habit of Copenhagen Snuff. All through highschool and then college I dipped and smoked depending on the outing (hard to do shots while dipping). I have gone back and forth for the past few years from a 2-3 can a day habit and scaling back down to one can. Currently I am at 1.5 cans a day.
I just graduated from Grad school a few months ago, got married, and got my first professional job. Working in an office all day is not exactly the same as working at the tire shop or in construction like I did while in school. I'm pretty much a superstar at work. I work for a County as a Budget Analyst and after a few months I'm well known for my attendance (early to work, late to leave) and the quality of work I produce. However, that didn't stop my boss from pulling me into the office one day to suggest that I consider not dipping at my desk.... I felt like an idiot and I'm sad to say, I've done it a few times since then.
My wife had always expressed the idea that she wanted me to quit, but recently said she hesitates before kissing me, to determine if I've had a dip in recently.
I moved down to Florida from N.C. and the cost of tobacco almost doubled. I have a lot more disposable income than I've ever had in my life. But still I find myself scrounging change to buy one last can of dip before pay day.
My dad smokes 2 packs a day and I'm sad to say he is dying. I'm 27, he is 57 and he looks 70. I'd tell you guys he has cancer but he is too afraid to go to a Doctor to know one way or the other. He can't sleep in the bed anymore and he can hardly work without "feeling a heart attack coming on". I've all but resigned myself to the idea that he will die within the next few years and that makes me more sad than I can even begin to express.
I Googled "I need to quit dipping" and this site came up. I spent hours last night looking around, reading posts, then I went out at 4am and bought a can... Just reading stories about quitting caused a near panic attack. 24 hours later and I'm feeling one come on again.
But this time I'm not going to do it
I've got to quit to:
Not have any more blemishes on my record at work.
Not end up like my Father.
Not disgust my wife.
Not disgust myself.
Not waste $2,700 or more a year on killing myself.
Not have a panic attack before going to the Dentist.
What do you all say, will you have me?

What do you all say, will you have me?
It's not a question of if we'll have you Chris. All you have to do is post roll and keep your daily promise to us. Do that and you're one of us. It's both the easiest and hardest thing you're liable to do. After just 7 days of being quit I am feeling a hint of what might be down the road for me. The freedom from lies, hiding dip, spending money, worried about my breath and if anyone can smell it...its all going away man.
Just from making one simple promise to my brothers and sisters, every day, posting my name and saying away from nicotine.
Post roll brother and get on board this train. We have lots of room.
-
Welcome in bro.
One thing needs to be done and then we can move on... Dump every ounce of your stash down the toilet. Remove all trace of it. Done?
Now, if you haven't, open the Welcome Center link at the top of the page. Learn why and how we do things here. You'll be a member of our march quit group. That's the month that you'll hit your 100 day milestone. You just made a decision to be free... Best one you'll ever make. This site and the awesome quitters here are all the motivation and inspiration you'll need. Let's do this...
-
CC, I am glad you found the site. It sounds like you are growing tired of being chained to a little round can of death. Well that is great news. You have a few reasons listed about why you might want to quit. Great start. It all begins with a decision. I am done, no nicotine today, flush it, and buckle in for the battle. You have to be all in. We win the battle one day at a time here and YES we will have you. There is always room for another person who desires to take their freedom back.
Focus on today CC, now do as AppleJack says and scour the Welcome center. Here is a homework assignment for today.
1. Figure out how to post roll and go do it. If you have questions, contact me, I will send my info to your INBOX (1).
2. Try to get acquainted with at least 2 people on this site. LIVE CHAT is a great place to get started with this. Make sure at least one of them is from your quit group, March 13.
-
Welcome Chris. I am I your quit class. I'm 7 days quit and will not dip today. That is the promis you make here. It's not about next year. Next month. Next week or even tomorrow. Promise not to dip today. Then make the same promise tomorrow. Repeat.
Your intro is my intro. It's the same intro as so many others here. We get you. It helps to know that.
Good luck friend. One day at a time.
Pat

You're asking the wrong question. The question is will YOU have you. I don't mean in a carnal way either you sick bastards. You came here for all that other stuff but you'll stay for you if that question gets answered each day.
-
Quit being a pussy and quit already.
-
I appreciate all you wrote, but either you want to be here or not. Are you putting your quit to a vote for everyone here at KTC? Or are you gonna just flat out quit, post roll do it? Sounds like you are trying to convince yourself and us... not how it works. YOU make the call... recommend you take the leap. Decide to quit post roll. You wont regret it!
-
I've got to quit to:
If only this ^^^^ was true. Then you wouldn't continue to put the filthy disgusting poison in your pie hole. You have to realize that it's all up to you my friend. You have a decision to make. You can do it, you have to believe it. Right now you can't see the truth because the poison is keeping it from you. Dig deep and find the quitter in you. He's in there, he's just hard to find. 1000's have used this site to win this battle. Why don't you take your freedom back and stop being a slave.
Begin reading everything on this site. You'll find a lot of encouragement, facts and important information that can help you. On the top left is the welcome center. Read the information on posting roll. Read how and why. Pay particular attention to why. Your move!

So I posted in March's group. Decided not to have my "goodnight dip" last night and toss the little bit that was left. I know today I'm not going to buy any.
-
well that's a start.i went 2 wks then I got a can of smokey mountain to dip when things get tough.It works and I told my wife most days on the phone that when I get home im going to bed to just get thru that day.i figured if im asleep im not trying to talk myself back to dipping.....
-

Thanks for the return PM CC. And congrats on the decision to take your life back.
I do have to say one thing here, be careful!! "Not buying any" is actually bullshit addict talk. I played that game for years. Quit for a while, a day or 2 maybe even a week...... only until I bummed a dip from a neighbor, friend, co-worker. GUESS WHAT?? Right back it CC.
Here is a better statement for you. By posting roll you are actually affirming the following: I will NOT under any circumstances but nicotine into my body today. I have made a promise to myself and to my group and I will honor my promise.
That is it bro, that is all we ask. Today is in the books buddy. I will see you back on tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the tip. I hate cigarettes and I don't know anyone who chews, so to me it seemed synonymous with quitting. But honestly, I could see me smoking a cigarette right now just to take the edge off... I won't, I refuse to, but that right there is the difference between "not buying a can" and quitting, period.
I took some ZzzQuil last night and still woke up multiple times. I'm actually sick with some bug that is going around work so I called out today. Big mistake, all I can do is walk around the house like a zombie. 'zombie'
I keep finding myself waiting 'til I can get a dip, then remembering I'm not doing that. After I finish this soda... After I make lunch... When I sit down to read a book...
Anyway, now that I re-read all this, I just see a sad spiral of self-pity and that makes me angry, that I depend on a can filled with disgusting weeds to hold my hand so I don't have to do it alone.

Quitting is really simple.
Read everything on here, post roll call each morning and don't dip. Wow....that sounds so easy, doesn't it?
If you read through the other intro's you may see some of my same words on them but they always hold true so I will just repeat them...
You are in for one nasty fight but you have the tools here to make it.
Go load yourself up with gum, mints, fake chew, seeds and beef jerky. Also get some member phone numbers right now, they will help you through the rough parts.
Next, exercise to exhaustion every single day and drink so much water that you feel like you may bust. Both of these will help.
Make sure your wife reads about what you are going through. 99% chance that you are going to be a short fussed dick for the next 3-4 weeks. Try not to take it out on her and the kids. Get on here and take it out on us, we will be fine.
I quit with you.
-
Hey guys, can anyone explain the "morning roll call" that is quoted in this post? I just started/joined the site today and posted my intro page so I really don't know the daily activities or anyone on the site yet...any help would be greatly appreciated!
-
Chris, I'm new too and just read your post. I'm only a few years younger than you and feel the same way about quitting (except I'm in grad school at the moment..DENTAL school at that). I'm not too sure how this site works yet, but I'm ready to quit myself and would love to help in any way possible. If you need any support on tough days feel free to hit me up. It's going to be tough for me as well. Also, I'm sorry about your father! We can still lead long healthy lives if we quit now so focus on that.
-
Chris you have some badass quitters giving you support- listen to them! You have some great bros in your quit class- lean on them! You got this, just stay committed one day at a time!
-
I'm almost at a week and I don't want to get cocky but this has not been as tough as I built it up to be in my head.
I mean the foggy feeling sucks, I feel a bit stupid at work,
when I go in a gas station I stare longingly at the tobacco behind the counter,
I look forward to every fake dip,
I still stay up to get that last goodnight fake dip in,
overall I feel a little groggy, a little grumpy,
but the fake stuff and the simplicity of the quit have me on the right path.
All i've got to do is not use tobacco in any form, today.

Keep your guard up and ready at all times. Your head is not fixed and won't be for some time. Document every shitty feeling you do have when you have them. This way when you are farther along you can remember in lieu of reliving the suck.
You are doing great, just focus one day at a time and never let yourself get ahead in the count.

I'm too tired to actually chronicle how shitty my day has been.
I asked my wife if she even bothered to read the spouse support stuff I asked her to look at... she hasn't.
Shes also bitched about everything I have said and done today. So finally I've had it, I made us leave a restaurant early b/c I knew if I didn't get home and post on here, and read some stories.... I'd go to the store for a nice fat dip that would shut her the fuck up.
I'm not going to do that, because then I would have to start over. Dipping isn't a solution to my problems, even though it seems to always present itself that way.

You are right on track bro. One problem + nicotine + 2 problems. You know this and that is why you are still quit tonight. Nice win buddy. Post roll in the morning and make Sunday a winner too. I think you are catching on man :)

The greater the trial the greater the reward. That second week was the worst for me. I'm a easy going guy and I total lost it day 8 9. Get your rest, drink lots of water and read all you can. Great win!

Chris,
I hope my information helps. I too was scared to go to the dentist. I dipped for about 16 years, a can a day. I had not been to the dentist in probably 5 years. The only reason I finally went is I had a filling that came out of a tooth, and I had severe tooth pain. Actually is was the reason I quit, thought I had cancer. He wound up doing a root canal, and he said everything else looked pretty good.
It is funny, but before I quit I tried to ignore everything. Once I quit, I noticed everything. I had a little raised ridge pop up on my tongue. I wasn't white, and really did not have any symptoms of cancer. Still, I was scared and went back to the dentist and he looked at it and said it was fine. This did not satisfy me so I scheduled an appointment with an oral surgeon. He did a complete screening. He pressed, prodded, shined lights and everything. When he was done, he said you have no signs of cancer. He even told me that looking at my mouth you couldn't tell I had ever dipped.
The ridge on my tongue has gone, and I know what you mean about fear. However, once I told the dentist and the oral surgeon everything it was like a weight was lifted, and both were very supportive. They did not talk down to me or anything. Instead, they congratulated me on quitting and I told them about Kill the Can and said stick with it.
As far as the wife, my wife had seen me "quit" many times, only to go back. During one of my "quits", she even told me to get a can because I was being a major ass. This time, when she saw I was serious, she went out and bought me fake dip, candy, gum, seeds, whatever I wanted.
It has been 196 days now, and it does get easier. I will tell you there will be some tough times. I had night sweats, trouble sleeping, dip dreams, and occasionally I still have a dip dream. The worst part is I have gained weight I think because things taste so much better. However, I can lose weight, I can't afford to lose a jaw. If you ever need anything, let me know by messaging me.

Had a BIG CRAVE tonight.
Was in bed watching TV. It came out of nowhere. I was all panicky, thinking I couldn't make it tonight without a big fatty.
Well I came in here to read some KTC stuff and saw that my wristband had come in the mail today. I opened it, read the letter, put it on, and sat down to read piles of rambling BS on these forums.
Here I am an hour later and ready to go to bed, without caving.
No matter how tough the crave, it WILL pass.

Hey you had a BIG WIN tonight! way to go! you used some of the tools, drank some koolaid and let it pass. Now keep building your toolkit too- be sure and get plenty of numbers, make quit-bro-friends who you can call if it gets even tougher. Keep building your "web of accountability and support."
Enjoy your victory, post up again tomorrow, and see what the day brings. You've got this!

Great job sharing. By the number of responses I'm sure you can see that we're all behind you and in it together. I'm 5.5 hours away from having my first dip free week in 13 years. Just knowing I have this accomplishment on the horizen has kept me completely motivated to make 1 week turn into 2 then into months and years. The sense of accomplishment is now winning over my cravings. Lets do this brother.

Great job on your quit. Just worry about today,, it's all we have. Day 1 or 301, it's just another day of quit.

So last night was Day 35 for me. I've been semi active, gotten a few #'s but never used them. I update the spreadsheet and I contribute a lot to our groups thread.
However, my wife went out of town last night, I was bored and alone, and the cravings came down on me hard.
I wanted a dip, fake dip wasn't cutting it, I wanted a smoke, a cigar, flavored tobacco, anything. The main reason... hell... the only reason I didn't go to the gas station and buy a can or a pack of smokes was because I knew I would have to come on here and post day 1 all over again.
The thought of failing was OK, the thought of telling everyone about my fail made everything else seem insignificant.
Thanks for being there KTC and thanks for being dicks when its necessary. If I knew I would get coddled I would've caved last night.

Sometimes the W's are tough. The tougher they are, the more rewarding after you get through it. As you start to pile W's on top of W's, you will start to emerge and be able to shut down those craves before they really get a grip on you. Glad you're still quit today Chris and keep it up, sounds like you've got a good quit going!
-
Went to a concert tonight, everyone around was lighting up on the way out of the building. Not even a crave.

Another brick placed on her grave CC! Good job man! Glad you are in our group! Quit on brother.

Having trouble staying motivated to post roll. Haven't craved in awhile, when I do they aren't strong. I even put down the fake stuff a few weeks back.
I don't want to take an action that will make it less likely that I am successfully quit, but at the same time it is hard during this time of year to sit down at the PC once a day.

Give me a fucking break. Takes 40 Fucking seconds. Do you have a smart phone, a tablet, a work computer. FIND the fuckung time I bet you used to find the time to buy a can and load your lip with cancer candy.
You know this site better than this. What do you expect people to say when you cry you don't have the motivation to post role? "Its ok pal, don't worry about it, role is no big deal..."
Pull your Fucking head out of your ass and go soak it. Then post role.

You know this site better than this. What do you expect people to say when you cry you don't have the motivation to post role? "Its ok pal, don't worry about it, role is no big deal..."

Ccauley, this is the time when you are going to be vulnerable. If you arent feeling motivated, then its time to re evaluate your quit and take steps to make sure you stay quit. Post roll and get involved man. Adopt a newbie, hit the chat room up. Dont lose the new quitter feel and stop giving a shit. When i lost my new quitter feeling i had to really take a look at myself and figure out what the fuck i was going to do. Now im at day 63 and quittng harder than ever every damn day. Stay involved and dont miss roll. I quit with you man. Let me know if you need anything

You are and always will be an addict. You have come a long ways, be proud, remain humble and enjoy your life without the poison. Most of all,,, be smart!!! Post roll and continue what has worked for you thus far. Why change what isn't broke?!?!

Regarding motivation and posting roll....................................................People say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing. That's why we recommend it daily! ~Zig Ziglar

Having trouble staying motivated to post roll. Haven't craved in awhile, when I do they aren't strong. I even put down the fake stuff a few weeks back.
I don't want to take an action that will make it less likely that I am successfully quit, but at the same time it is hard during this time of year to sit down at the PC once a day.
You always found time to finger-bang a can of death and cram the shit in your face, all day every day for years... Posting roll takes less time than searching for change to buy that last can of poison before payday... You start thinking you got this quitting thing mastered and don't need to keep doing what has gotten you this far, then you need a punch in the junk. It is the nic addict part of your mind looking for a crack in your defenses that makes you type stupid addict speak shit like: "it is hard during this time of year to sit down at the PC once a day". Others already told you what to do to stay motivated: get involved here, get addicted to KTC! You need to own your quit, and you need to work it.

CCauley--As a fellow March brother, I can tell you that I am motivated by your consistent quit. Whenever you committed to staying quit with the March 14 Iron Men, you didn't just commit to helping yourself quit. No, you committed to helping me quit and to helping your brothers quit. Our quits continually strengthen each other and by ourselves we are done.
So, I'm asking you. Will you post roll and let me know that you support my quit?

Another Iron Man here. Today you are 57 days into your quit, and the way I see it you should be 57 times more motivated to post roll than you were on day 1. Simply put (and these aren't my words), you get out of KTC what you put into it. You want my help, March Iron Men's help, KTC community's help should you feel like a crave, then give us your word and we'll give you ours.
Notice the Iron brethren jumping on this thread like white on rice. This feels like a crisis to us and we're going to pull you back in whether you like it or not. You've been a stud quitter, one who has put in the effort. You've helped maintain our spreadsheet. More people admire you for what you have done for 57 days and appreciate your presence in this group than you realize. Stay quit with us brother, and stay quit by giving us your word that you are with us. I quit with you LFEDD.

The bitch is cunning CC. She will lure you back, trust me. You know what to do. Dont leave that door open even one little crack. Not today. Post roll and slam that fugger shut. Wait give up on what works. Dont be stupid pal. Listen to these guys.

KTC is quit insurance with a $0 premium. It's an unwise decision to let a gravy policy like this lapse. Don't mess with your life, we're talking a 20 year difference in longevity. Don't fuck around. You've come too far brother.

I know you guys get frustrated when you have to talk someone down off the ledge.
I just want to say thank you for taking the time to insult, motivate, and hold me accountable.
Unfortunately I can not give the commitment that I did the first 57 days, because of the cyclical nature of my work schedule. But I can keep my word and keep the spirit of why i joined this site and this community.
I will quit every day (and post roll) with all of the KTC community as well as my March bros.
Thank you all

Good call brother. At minimum, get your name on that roll. That's all you have to do. When you have time, or when you need additional therapy, then utilize KTC to help others. This place is a life saver.

Claws, that was very well said, I read that but didn't know what to say.
Chris, Claws is right. it is worth your time to post. If that is all you can do, just do it. We expect nothing else. Brother, we need your help. 'Don't give up.
Chris
