Hi all,
I came across this site a few years ago and didn't think anything of it. I am currently still using but I have been planning to quit for a while. I plan on quitting this Friday (or Saturday.) I have chosen these days because my fiance will be out of town and I want to spare her from acting like a crabby a-hole while I'm trying to quit. I started dipping when I was just a pup, around 12 or so. I'm 25 now, and thinking about not only my health, but the countless trips I've taken to the store and insane amount of money I've spent over the years on this habit, I decided it's time. Though I haven't quit yet, I am looking forward to freedom from this bad habit. I've been stocking up on hard candy, beef jerky, seeds, and I plan on buying a log of Smokey Mountain tonight. I'm determined to have a successful quit and I'm open to any tips. Thanks for hearing me ramble. I look forward to becoming an active member of the community and being tobacco free.

Tomorrow, I'm gonna leave here
I'm gonna let you go and walk away like every day I said I would
And tomorrow, I'm gonna listen
To that voice of reason inside my head telling me that we're no good
But tonight I'm gonna give it one last time......
Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow
Point is, tomorrow never comes. There is no future good time. The only good time is now. You can control now. Man up and do it.

The best time to quit is right NOW. Come Friday or Saturday there will be another excuse to not quit. Dude I have been in your shoes. Man up and quit TODAY. Flush the poison. Let's do this.

Dude...Friday, or maybe Saturday? Are you kidding me?!!! This site is about quitting. You haven't read shit, have you? We aren't "about to do" something great...we're not "trying to" to save our lives...or "thinking about" something heroic like that. We're doing it...one day at a time. Click on the Welcome Center link and start reading.
We're pumped you found us...don't get me wrong. But we'd be even more pumped if you JOINED us. That's the key, right? And not when its convenient for you, not when your shorts aren't in a knot, not the day after nevercame...but RIGHT FUCKING NOW. It won't suck any less if you wait two more days, two more weeks, two more months. It is gonna suck whenever you pull the pin. But EMBRACE IT!!! You will GET to feel shitty because you MADE a great choice. (And, it will suck alot less if you intro doesn't start with the milk-toast, toe in the water, bullshit like what you just posted!!! HAHA)
We're bad-ass quitters. Plain and simple. And we CAN'T WAIT for you to join us. We're white-knuckle, no sleep, constipated, can't think, crawling the walls, sheets too tight, sweaty quitters. And there are a shit-ton of us just like you. We've been right where you are. We've been where you have been. We are addicts and we are fluent in the bullshit language you speak. In other words, we're right where you're headed...depending on your choice.
There are no short-cuts, there is no "right time," and nobody gets out for the asking. YOU have to earn your freedom...one day at a time.
So, PULL the PIN!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!! Flush your shit, grow a pair, post roll and join us now. Embrace the suck. Embrace freedom. Post roll. YOU CAN DO IT. YOU CAN BE OUR BROTHER!!!
When you make the first move, we've got your back. Tell your hot-ass finance (fiancee) what you just decided after reading this. And JOIN US!!!

The only tip anyone on this site will give you is to quit now. Friday won't be any more convenient than right this minute.
I can see you now: you are suckling your dip with a hazy smile, remembering the good old days, romanticizing the hell out of each chew before you have to quit. In actuality, you have shoved a wad of poison (yes ACTUAL poison, look up the ingredients) into your lip, and you are messily drooling your spit into a cup or bottle. It's not romantic. Don't fool yourself.
If you want to spare your fiance, spare her from a goodbye kiss that smells/tastes like ass.
Quit now. Don't mess around any more. Come back when you're all in.

I got on here 3 days ago talking about how I planned to quit, in all honesty man don't plan just do it. I was lying to myself, if I had waited I would have found reason after reason not to quit. I'm day 3 of my quit, quit with me man.

How long have you been planning :rolleyes: . You can plan till hell freezes over.
The only thing that gets you quit is taking action.

So you need to just quit already. We are not here to help you plan your quit or with steps to get to the quitting point. If you want to quit just quit be done with it. We can help you get through the fog and the mess of the first few days. We are not here though to convince you to quit it won't work for you. You have to quit for you. I stand here ready to offer any support I can when you quit and post roll. That's what we do here post roll and this site opens its arms for you. I quit with all the guys below this post today and will again tomorrow.

Thats right! SO QUIT NOW!

Are you the guy (hockey8895) that came into chat last night with a plan to quit on Friday? If so use the same name here and in chat (I suggest this one). See you "tomorrow" on roll, maybe???
-
Jeez. Didn't think it'd be so harsh here.
The only reason I mentioned Friday (maybe) Saturday, is because I wasn't sure when she was leaving. Personally, I don't want to have to deal with anyone her, or anyone else, calling me and asking me about it. I'd rather just do it on my own. I'm not in any way hesitating about this, I just want to be prepared and have a good environment to quit in.
I decided last Sunday I was going to do it this weekend. I didn't decide I was going to think about quitting, or even try to quit. I decided I was quitting. Just thought I'd ask if anyone had any advice in how to prepare for quitting. To be honest I don't even want to have to take a trip to the store and even see a tobacco section. I'm flushing whatever is left and locking myself in my house.
To those that have been supportive, thanks. I'll be definitely checking back this weekend.

You're getting more support than you realize. More than 90% of our "I'm quitting in the future" guys never show. And yes, we say that to all of them, and yes, they all post a response pretty much just like you did.
Because what we say is true. On Friday you'll still have half a can, and say "well I may as finish this, quitting can wait till Saturday. What's one more day?"
On Saturday, you'll have a drink or two, and buddy will stop by, and you'll say "damn, girlfriend is gone, drinking with guys. What's one more day?"
Then it "who quits starts something new on Sunday"
Then "Mondays are stressful"
Then "my girlfriend will be out of town in two weeks. That's a great time"
Sound familiar. It does to ALL of us. We've all done it a million times. We all convinced ourselves that this time was different. But it wasn't, not until we manned up, tossed the can, and promised ourselves and each other that we are quit today.
If history proves correct, I'm wasting ten minutes typing these words. I hope not, I hope they can convince you to stop enslaving yourself. Freedom is great.

I will echo what others have already said...there will be an excuse on friday...and here it is...lady is gone, why not have just one more? Then you'll have almost a full can and the excuse will be 'man i can't waste a whole can'...the can will last you through the weekend and then monday will start and the lady will be back. Do you really think the crabbiness will go away over the weekend? Dude if you're a dick you'll take it out on the lady, but if you can understand that it's your own damn fault that you are going through all the withdrawals and NOT her's then you should be fine.
But i'll tell you, you sound like too big of a puss to do this...i thought CMVsteved was a big puss too, but he proved me wrong...will you? And if you can't dump the shit today, don't bother coming back here.
There are over 15,000 people that have used this site, and everyone of us said at one point or another "i'll quit this weekend". Not until we came here did our balls drop (sorry for the ladies on here).

Hey, shark,,, If you don't mind I would like to talk to your master. If you do mind oh well, you're not in control of crap!
Hey poison, I hope this shark dude sees you for what you are before it's to late. I hope he sees one day that you have taken his freedom, stripped him of dignity and integrity. I hope he see that one day you could possibly take his jaw, tongue, throat and even life. I hope that he sees that you only care about today. You know if you keep him in bondage for today that's all that matters. I'm glad I took my life back, it's so much better without you in it.
That's all shark. You can go back to suckling with the poison.
I'm going to continue in my new life of freedom. Later!

Don't just dip your toe in Shark, jump in the f**king pool man! The water is fine, and we are right to offer you support like you have never seen. First step is a scary one, I know I did it 155 days ago.

Don't automatically expect people here to "call and ask about it" unless you prompt that kind of relationship up front. Some will, but probably not without some prior history.
To me, having contacts was a tool I could use when I needed to. When I'd have a crave, or some idle moment that the withdrawals were getting the better of me, I'd send a random text to several quitters. No need for anything mushy or dramatic. Just a quick message would usually summon immediate replies, which would turn into a sizeable distraction. Problem solved.
Distractions are what addicts need to get through the rough spots. KTC offers plenty of those. Reading the HOF speeches, intros, boards, chat, information, etc. works fine. Personal ineteraction is just another weapon in the arsenal. I won't lie, I thought it was odd at first, but I've made some good friends here. They have saved my life.
Use what you need. Leave the rest.
EDIT: Except posting roll. That is required.

In chat you said, "Friday is the day. That's my plan. I'm sticking to it". Now it Saturday, or Sunday, or "this weekend". You said you were going to prove me/us wrong, but in all honesty I'm believing you less and less.
So, here's to proving me wrong on Friday, or Saturday, or Sunday, or next week, or the next time the ol' lady goes out of town, or the next whatever.
'Cheers'

How has that worked for ya in the past?

Shark, as redyota said, you've been getting support. You've been getting a lot of support. It's not the support you you expected, though. It doesn't fit what you "expected" quitting to be like. This is not how you imagined it. Ironically, you still cling to your version of what "quitting" should be like and what "support" should be. You have no real reason to stick to your ideas though, because the way you have been imagining "quitting" has not worked. Ever. Nor will it. The reason that these guys are "on your ass about this" (being honest) is because they see that you don't get it. They see that without some intervention, you will not "get it" this weekend, just because time passed. You will have to learn something between now and then. My two cents on the subject: the only, ONLY, reason people quit "tomorrow" is because "tomorrow" means more dip today. So...you are telling us that you don't have the discipline today to quit. But you will have the discipline this weekend? So what's gonna happen in you life between now and Saturday that will give you this discipline? What precisely? The backbone fairy? Look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that the fact that you can dip today is not a major part of why your "plan" to quit Saturday is so attractive.
BTW, shark, I'm not busting your ass just to be hard on you. I'm busting your ass because I was you.
When you've had enough with nicotine, you will step up and quit. We will be there to help. If Saturday is that day, great. That would be an awesome coincidence. When that day comes, look me up.

Shark, as redyota said, you've been getting support. You've been getting a lot of support. It's not the support you you expected, though. It doesn't fit what you "expected" quitting to be like. This is not how you imagined it. Ironically, you still cling to your version of what "quitting" should be like and what "support" should be. You have no real reason to stick to your ideas though, because the way you have been imagining "quitting" has not worked. Ever. Nor will it. The reason that these guys are "on your ass about this" (being honest) is because they see that you don't get it. They see that without some intervention, you will not "get it" this weekend, just because time passed. You will have to learn something between now and then. My two cents on the subject: the only, ONLY, reason people quit "tomorrow" is because "tomorrow" means more dip today. So...you are telling us that you don't have the discipline today to quit. But you will have the discipline this weekend? So what's gonna happen in you life between now and Saturday that will give you this discipline? What precisely? The backbone fairy? Look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that the fact that you can dip today is not a major part of why your "plan" to quit Saturday is so attractive.

Bravo. Excellent post.
These people know addict BS when they see it shark. It just sucks having it shown to you, with your own words.

But we're too mean guys...he needs some ball coddling...maybe a little tickle?

Jeez. Didn't think it'd be so harsh here.
The only reason I mentioned Friday (maybe) Saturday, is because I wasn't sure when she was leaving. Personally, I don't want to have to deal with anyone her, or anyone else, calling me and asking me about it. I'd rather just do it on my own. I'm not in any way hesitating about this, I just want to be prepared and have a good environment to quit in.
I decided last Sunday I was going to do it this weekend. I didn't decide I was going to think about quitting, or even try to quit. I decided I was quitting. Just thought I'd ask if anyone had any advice in how to prepare for quitting. To be honest I don't even want to have to take a trip to the store and even see a tobacco section. I'm flushing whatever is left and locking myself in my house.
To those that have been supportive, thanks. I'll be definitely checking back this weekend.
If you want to save your life, then quit today.
If you want to keep dipping and harming your body and probably end up losing your jaw and tongue, your choice.
The choice is yours.
We make the choice every a.m. to quit, by posting roll and giving our word we will not put the poison in our mouth Today.
We do this ODAAT, One Day at a Time.
YOU can Too,,,,but you have to want it and choose it....mommy or daddy can't help you with this. so and so not being around isn't gonna help you with this.
You gotta do this for YOU and for noone else.
It is really sad to see young people who have not will power or balls.
What are ya gonna do?
You won't find more powerful and solid support anywhere, anytime, than here at KTC.
Your choice.

The Highly Effective Habits of the Nic-Bitch and Why Tomorrow means you Just Lost.
TRUTH: The only way the nic-bitch gets a hit of nicotine is if she can convince YOU to plan, obtain and ingest nicotine. She has NO choices available. Only YOU have free will, the power of Choice.
How does she win? How does a cretin with no free will, no ability to obtain nicotine get it?
1. The Nic-Bitch is laser focused on TODAY. TODAY is all that matters to her. REPEAT, TODAY IS ALL THAT MATTERS TO HER. Nicotine use today = Victory.
How do you counter? You must focus only on TODAY. Not next weekÂ’s test or tax season or whatever. Today.
2. The Nic-Bitch begins with the end in mind - Nicotine today.
How do you counter? The quitter MUST begin with the end in mind. Each Today begins by Posting Roll ~ Begin the Today with a promise. “I will not use nicotine Today”.
3. The Nic-Bitch offers fake Win-Win schemes. She will whisper in your ear and will accept any scheme you come up with about the future if she gets today. She is firm in her negotiations. “Yes, the plan to quit tomorrow is a great plan. Let’s get that can TODAY and enjoy, for tomorrow we genuinely strive to quit”.
How do you counter? Know that she is deceitful. Know that she whispers. Your ONLY way out is NO nicotine TODAY. Period. Her Win-Win schemes are false promises.
4. She seeks to further understand you. She seeks to maintain a relationship. She knows your weaknesses. She knows if you like a dip mowing, fishing, while driving to work. She will sit on the couch and whisper in your ear while you are home alone. She will ride shotgun on the way to work. She will walk in the gas station with you and stand next to the counter of multi-color death cans.
How do you counter? Read, Read and Read this site. Many have kicked her ass daily. Learn from them. Know your weaknesses. Anticipate. Any by all means, hate her with vengeance. She seeks to understand you to exploit you and for no other reason. She is evil.

Well, what's it going to be shark boy. You got to take your life back. The poisons not going to just give it back.
Post up and be a real shark. Stop being a nurse shark.
I originally quit on a Friday. Friday is a great day. Not because its Friday, but because its today.

You just went from nurse shark to great white brother. You just took control of this addiction. Proud of you man. Its going to be difficult for a minute but things will improve. One day you will want to kick yourself right in the pectoral Fin for ever putting the poison in your gills.
I know my humor sucks sometimes, but I'm glad to be quit with you. Need some digits, let me know.

Thanks guys. Thanks too to everyone who called me out. I needed that. It's been a rough first day, but KTC is a good reminder that quit can be done.

I'd call you out again, but it has been a week since you have logged into KTC. I suspect you won't see this and have caved. Maybe you had the wrong Friday to quit? Maybe next Friday is the correct one, or the one after that.

NEXT Friday is the REAL quit, Evil. This was just a practice quit...you know, to work the bugs out.

That's fucked up right here. If you stopped and people are still supporting you, then you need to understand that and quit being a pompous ass.

I can tell you all what happened and I saw it coming while catching up on this thread. He waited for his girlfriend to leave because he's the type to take it out on everyone around him. I was that way too. I know the type. When I was having a crave, I was willing to make everyone elses life miserable. It wasn't until I changed my point of view that I understood that I allowed myself to be an ass to my family for the purpose of convincing them that I was better off with nicotine. You see, if your family tells you to "Just go buy a can" to get you off your back, it wasn't your fault now was it? Well, actually yes it was your fault. Own it. You choose who to point your anger toward. That's why we are here. Kick our asses. Tear our heads off. Use us as your cyber punching bags. Trust me, these guys will be able to take it. They've done their fair share of raging.
You scheduled your rage for when your girl was away because you know that you love her and didn't want to subject her to your mood swings. Instead you are shackling her to an addict that is actively using his poison.
I hope that when / if you read this, you recognize that today is the best day to quit, you dump your shit and all that goes with it, you post roll immediately and promise us and yourself 1 day free of nicotine. First thing next day, repeat the promise. You will have some explaining to do but it will be worth it. I can't remember the stats but I think that somewhere around 5% of people that attempt to quit on their own are successful after a year but with this site, IF you follow these steps, you will be 100% assured of your quit.
1. Post roll first thing in the morning. Your promise not to use any form of nicotine.
2. Keep your promise.
3. repeat daily.
Do these 3 things, and you can't loose.
Now grow a pair and post roll. I'll be watching for you. 'Popcorn'
