I'm Dustin. I'm 28 years of age, and I would very much like to quit dipping. I started when I was 13 and have been a heavy dipper for the past 10 years or so. I've reached a point in my life where I'm just flat-out tired of maintaining a habit that will either kill me, or leave me disfigured. I did quit once around five years ago, but after a bad breakup I started back. After doing the necessary research and planning, I will begin my journey this coming Friday. Some of you may pounce on this fact and say "why not now?" Well, experience has taught me that acting on the spur of the moment without sufficient planning only leads to failure. I've read through this site and others to find ideas that make logical sense.
Another reason: I want to enter my thirties in the best possible shape. I'm obese. I've been actively changing my lifestyle for the past few months and have lost 25 pounds thus far. Having an addiction to smokeless tobacco would hamper those efforts, as my taste buds wouldn't be receptive to acquiring a taste for newer, more healthier foods. It would also weaken my resolve, as much of my daily habits involves getting a nicotine fix to stabilize my mood.
Anyway, thank you to those who read this, and I look forward to interacting with y'all. I'm going to level with you, I have tried quitting by using this before, and found myself besieged by advice and suggestions by various member s without asking for it. I have decided to use this site again, but I must first make clear that I do not want advice or opinions unless I directly ask for it. That goes both ways, by the way. I will not give any opinions or advice unless someone asks me for it.

You sound like an addict.

Can't wait to see how this works out......

Good luck with that, Brother. This should be interesting. Oh, I'm sorry. You didn't directly ask me to say "good luck with that". My bad. Douche.

wow, just wow
can we get a check as if "using this before" and "use this site again" then we may have another username for this we need to track down, as that goes against the multiple aliases if in fact there is another.
and am confused. You say " I look forward to interacting with y'all" but then follow with " that I do not want advice or opinions unless I directly ask for it". This is definitely contradictory to who we are here.
When you join here, you are joining into a community for help. Here there are thousands of people who have walked the path before you, and there are those who are waiting with an outstretched hand to help and walk beside you through this journey. But it is your journey and can only get out of it what you put into it.
research this and you will see the truth : Accountability + Brotherhood = Success.
And one last item for the " will begin my journey this coming Friday" we have seen this too many times. So I will just say this. Start it off right by honoring that word. As from my experience those that say that do not return.

Read my hof speech in my signature line. I was you. You didn't ask me for advice so I'm not going to talk to you.
I would like talk to your master though. If you do that's to bad, it's clear your not in control of anything.
Poison i hate you. I hate he fact that i was just like this poor fellow right here for way long. As you were!

Dustin,
I am glad you found us; this is where I would normally post up a list of items that you should do along with links but since you did not ask for advice directly from me I will not provide that. I will wait until Confucius shows up to dispel advice for you. I RECOMMEND that you read on this site and educate yourself on how addictive this drug is and hopefully then your eyes and mind will be more open to listening to some of us other addicts about how we have been beating addiction.

Dustin, please re-read your intro, and if you decide you want to unfuck yourself, you will find that there are thousands of quitters here looking to support you. If you decide to keep the fucktard attitude........well, I didn't waste many keystrokes on ya.

You've already set yourself up to fail... Do you realize that?
You... Are soooo owned.

Is it possible that we're being trolled? This guy hit virtually the entire Bingo card of the things that make KTC regulars go insane:- Says he 'quit' once before
- Says he used the site before but doesn't give his previous username
- Planning a future date to quit
- Doesn't want our advice
If I were going to write up a fake intro post to get you guys worked up, this is just about word-for-word what I would say. All that's missing is, "I'm still going to have an occasional cigar."

It's like the X-files Bread!

This is high level trolling at it's finest. By the way - I can't post roll on weekends cause my life is very busy compared to the rest of you guys - I assume that's cool right.....?

Just got around to reading this....Made me laugh out loud.

2 guys like this in a week. Proof the apocalypse is upon us. Somebody get the white coats with the really long sleeves, we're going to need them.
This guy already has 7/25 listed as his start date in his profile. Where's the hidden camera?

Just in case Slug is right, I repent. Don't want to mess around with Armageddon talk.

I deserved all that and more. Sorry, but I wasn't intending to come off as an asshole, but I am (an asshole). I am an addict. I never denied that fact. Maybe I am just being stubborn, but I want to have as much control as possible. That may be foolhardy, but I'm trying.

:scowick:
Of course not.
This :scowick: is a special butterfly. You sir, are the definition of a special butterfly. I quit today. Good luck. See you Friday.

So have you taken control and flushed your can? Have you posted roll? Thats how this works. We quit. We quit every fucking day. Take control if you have a set. Quit being a fucking slave.
I wouldn't bet a nickel on your quit. Flush your shit and prove me wrong.

Challenge accepted. The dip I was saving for the last time is now in a dumpster. I also posted roll. Thanks for telling me what I needed to hear, because I was really thinking about flaking.

You admit your an addict, but you still want to have as much control as possible. I hate to tell you, but you haven't been in control for a long time. If you couldn't be in control then, what makes you think you can be in control now?
I didn't see you in roll call either. You accepted basshaug's challenge, so post up and let's get this moving. Get in with the Titan's before we lock that door up. I can't speak for the next group, but I know there are some hard motherfuckers in October that will ride your ass when it needs it. And if the difference between you caving and staying quit is my intervention, then I don't give a damn whether you ask for advice or not. I do give a damn about your quit

DirtyH, I consider his post in October as a day 1 roll.
Now dustin, if you want to take this accountability thing to the next level, I'm PMing you my number. I'll check in on you to make sure you are holding up your end of the bargain by posting roll each day, and I invite you to hold me accountable each day as well, I'll never be cured from this addiction, and neither will you. All I can do is quit each and every day.

Dustin - great to hear. I hope the tin is sprinkled in the dumpster and not just tossed in. My pathetic ass would've had no problem dumpster diving for a tin. It's tough love in here, but we are ALL addicts and have ALL been in your shoes and frankly the tough love is usually what we need to hear. I came in like a pussy in my intro whining about a sore and wanting to see my daughter do ballet. I was rightly called on it and I thanked the guys who called me on it. I am now QUIT and will not dip today.
That's how this works - I'll quit with you today and if/when tomorrow comes I'll wake up and post roll and do the same thing.

PPPUUUUSSSSAAAY. stop being a bitch and take the help thats here or going somewhere else..please and thankyou

I'll say this Dustin, your 180 totally surprised me. So here's my way of thinking about your quit. Clearly being "in control" is big for you. What gives you more control dipping or quitting? By my way of thinking when you are dipping your nicotine addiction is in control, when you are quitting, although it sucks, you are in control. The advice you get on this site...And truthfully why else use this site if you don't want advice, support, and accountabiity...is to help you take back "control"

I deserved all that and more. Sorry, but I wasn't intending to come off as an asshole, but I am (an asshole). I am an addict. I never denied that fact. Maybe I am just being stubborn, but I want to have as much control as possible. That may be foolhardy, but I'm trying.
So have you taken control and flushed your can? Have you posted roll? Thats how this works. We quit. We quit every fucking day. Take control if you have a set. Quit being a fucking slave.
I wouldn't bet a nickel on your quit. Flush your shit and prove me wrong.
Challenge accepted. The dip I was saving for the last time is now in a dumpster. I also posted roll. Thanks for telling me what I needed to hear, because I was really thinking about flaking.
You admit your an addict, but you still want to have as much control as possible. I hate to tell you, but you haven't been in control for a long time. If you couldn't be in control then, what makes you think you can be in control now?
I didn't see you in roll call either. You accepted basshaug's challenge, so post up and let's get this moving. Get in with the Titan's before we lock that door up. I can't speak for the next group, but I know there are some hard motherfuckers in October that will ride your ass when it needs it. And if the difference between you caving and staying quit is my intervention, then I don't give a damn whether you ask for advice or not. I do give a damn about your quit
DirtyH, I consider his post in October as a day 1 roll.
Now dustin, if you want to take this accountability thing to the next level, I'm PMing you my number. I'll check in on you to make sure you are holding up your end of the bargain by posting roll each day, and I invite you to hold me accountable each day as well, I'll never be cured from this addiction, and neither will you. All I can do is quit each and every day.
Dustin - great to hear. I hope the tin is sprinkled in the dumpster and not just tossed in. My pathetic ass would've had no problem dumpster diving for a tin. It's tough love in here, but we are ALL addicts and have ALL been in your shoes and frankly the tough love is usually what we need to hear. I came in like a pussy in my intro whining about a sore and wanting to see my daughter do ballet. I was rightly called on it and I thanked the guys who called me on it. I am now QUIT and will not dip today.
That's how this works - I'll quit with you today and if/when tomorrow comes I'll wake up and post roll and do the same thing.
Thanks guys. I'm still hangin' on.
I'll say this Dustin, your 180 totally surprised me. So here's my way of thinking about your quit. Clearly being "in control" is big for you. What gives you more control dipping or quitting? By my way of thinking when you are dipping your nicotine addiction is in control, when you are quitting, although it sucks, you are in control. The advice you get on this site...And truthfully why else use this site if you don't want advice, support, and accountabiity...is to help you take back "control"
Now that you have committed and posted in October (believe I saw a day 2), it's grueling at first but focus on making it to the next hour, then to the afternoon. Mini wins throughout the day and suddenly you wake up posting a day 3. I don't regret any second on my 82 days of quit however I do concern myself with posting an 83 in the morning.

You posted roll today. You are in control. There is nothing I can say to you that takes you out of control once you post roll. I quit with you today.

Welcome to KTC for real now bud, glad that I heard that "POP" sound yesterday.

Welcome,
and if I must say, well done as you have kept your word from your original post and have quit. So that is a plus one for you.
now just keep making that promise that you know that you can, do that each and every day and you will add the +1 in days.
great job, and lets do this

The day I admitted I was addicted to nicotine was the day I controlled nicotine instead of nicotine controlling me. It did not make quitting easy, it did mean I called the shots.
Welcome aboard. Shout if you need help.

True. I should have just swallowed my pride, but that is what kept me from quitting in the first place. I'm holding up fairly well. Still headachey, but I've been drinking water every time I've had a crave.

Good job Dustin - make sure you are ready for the weekend. Get some seeds, gum, fake dip or whatever you need to stuff your face with anything but nicotine.
Reach out if you need anything.

Thanks guys! :)

So much for being in control. You owe all of us an explanation. You missed roll yesterday after posting it first thing the two days before. It sounds like you planned this one out.
1. What happened?
2. Why did it happen?
3. What are you going to do differently this time?

sad if confirmed
will just leave it at that.

I'm sorry, but I willfully broke my promise and caved. I could rattle off a million excuses, but the simple truth is that I don't want to quit badly enough to actually commit.

2 or 3 whole days...looks like your way doesn't work worth a damn. You're right about one thing, though. You are sorry. You don't want to quit badly enough? Good bye.

Jeez dude - give us a break with this pussy shit. Go back and read your intro cause I just did. At this point you're just wasting peoples time.
A fews years ago I found this site. I never committed to quitting or joined, but just coming here once the nic bitch had me dipping more the last 3 years than I ever did in my life. Man - what is she going to do to you? I hope it's worth it.
-
I'm Dustin. I'm 28 years of age, and I would very much like to quit dipping. I started when I was 13 and have been a heavy dipper for the past 10 years or so. I've reached a point in my life where I'm just flat-out tired of maintaining a habit that will either kill me, or leave me disfigured. I did quit once around five years ago, but after a bad breakup I started back. After doing the necessary research and planning, I will begin my journey this coming Friday. Some of you may pounce on this fact and say "why not now?" Well, experience has taught me that acting on the spur of the moment without sufficient planning only leads to failure. I've read through this site and others to find ideas that make logical sense.
Another reason: I want to enter my thirties in the best possible shape. I'm obese. I've been actively changing my lifestyle for the past few months and have lost 25 pounds thus far. Having an addiction to smokeless tobacco would hamper those efforts, as my taste buds wouldn't be receptive to acquiring a taste for newer, more healthier foods. It would also weaken my resolve, as much of my daily habits involves getting a nicotine fix to stabilize my mood.
Anyway, thank you to those who read this, and I look forward to interacting with y'all. I'm going to level with you, I have tried quitting by using this before, and found myself besieged by advice and suggestions by various member s without asking for it. I have decided to use this site again, but I must first make clear that I do not want advice or opinions unless I directly ask for it. That goes both ways, by the way. I will not give any opinions or advice unless someone asks me for it.
Alright dustinjackson,
I am going to use your intro as a way to address your cave.
Caving does not just happen. Quitters find a way to quit and cavers find a way to cave.
1. Why did you cave?
2. Will you go to any lengths to quit?
3. If so, what are you going to do differently?
I want you to write your quit plan. Now.
-

Addict speak. Reach down between your legs and if you have a pair than sack up and quit. You were pretty much through the physical stuff. Answer the questions, grow the fuck up, and quit.
If you are going to be a pussy and line the pockets of the fucktards that run big tobacco then god speed. Adios.
-
I caved because I just didn't take it seriously.
I wouldn't turn to religion or asceticism.
I wouldn't have bothered with wasting anyone's time.
-
I just read this intro for the first time and I wish I never did in the first place. What a hot mess of a wannabe quitter. From epic douche to revelation light going off to epic fail of a cave. You know what this is to me...a waste of time. A waste of time for you and everyone who responded to your initial douchebaggery and subsequent revelation. Why continue wasting your time and ours. Clearly this really isn't all that important to you. I've called out newbies and quitters for bullshit and have been gracious when they make me eat my words...why? Because at the end of the day they were badass quitters and the quit was Trump to everything else. I don't see you being one of these people and I'm not going to waste my time waiting to see if you are. Prove me wrong.

Already tried that, but the physical withdrawal was just too much for him. That tells me he doesn't have the balls to quit. He is blaming it on "not taking it seriously" because he is too big of a pussy to just grow the fuck up and deal with being slightly uncomfortable for a few days. Let's see how uncomfortable chemo and surgery to remove part of your jaw/tongue makes you.
Quit or fuck off. No asceticism required, just not being a bitch.
-
I'm quit, but I cannot post roll. You all assume that I am actively using again. It was one single occurence. If I have to stick around and be bullied by you people just to prove something, then I'd rather do it alone. I've overcome a lot of things on my own. This has been the hardest, but I'll keep at it until I succeed. I just don't know how to on my own.

First of all nobody is bullying you. You fucking chose to come on here and you chose to "quit." Hell two fucking days ago you posted "quitting is the best feeling in the world." From what I could tell, you aren't a total dipshit, so I won't treat you like one unless you continue to prove it is warranted.
You know what is/was expected of you on this site. It's posting roll every fucking day that you wouldn't use nicotine one day at a time. You chose to not post roll Sunday morning, then you chose to cave.
Now it's pretty fucking simple, you either want to quit or you don't. This place is for people who want to quit. If you want to quit answer the questions and get to quitting. Nobody is going to quit for you and nobody is going to coddle your balls and tell you it's OK, get em next time. That shit is for Lite (http://quitsmokeless.org)
-

I think this sums it up. I don't give a shit what the reason is. Me - I post roll every day and I'm quit and caving is not even an option.
Maybe it will work out for you but you obviously don't get it and I've wasted enough time/keystrokes.
-
Learn something here folks..... It takes a lot to make this commitment to quit. You can't come in here with an agenda. You just have to want to be quit. Save your quits first of all, then go try to help guys like this..... Then if you can't, go protect your quits again and stand with your quit bros in your group that deserve your attention... Celebrate being quit!!!

This has gone on long enough. Now can I please resume posting roll starting at day one, or am I blackballed from doing so? I'm willing to move forward with my quit if you all are still willing to accept me. If not, I'm moving forward on my own. Either way, I'm going to do my best to keep from dipping.
-
I caved because I just didn't take it seriously.

You wanna move forward?
These answers are complete crap.
Dig deep and do better.
1. What happened?
2. Why did it happen?
3. What will you do to keep it from happening again?
-
After 3 days, I caved. I went out and purchased a tin, took one dip, then 5 minutes later I threw it away. I felt guilty and ashamed, so I didn't immediately come forward.
Why did it happen? I gave in to the crave. I was doing alright for the first two days, but was plagued by doubt. Sadly, I made the mistake of making the wrong choice when I should have texted someone and asked for help. In the end, it all came down to not honoring a commitment and feeling ashamed to admit weakness to myself and others. Pride was also a factor. I didn't fully take into account that I needed to approach this humbly and receptively.
What would I do differently? I would be absolutely forthcoming and receptive to any advice and help others are willing to give me. Being humble. Pride and arrogance are my worst traits, and I need to focus on approaching things from a more receptive standpoint. Others saw it right away, given the selfish nature of my initial intro. However, I see the mistake in that, and I need to do things differently. I'm really not a douchey kind of guy, but I armor myself emotionally. That needs to end right now. Also, I need to grow a backbone and learn to accept change in myself. I gave up drinking and drug use in the past, so why am I so stubborn when it comes to nicotine? My best guess is that I've used nicotine as a crutch when I should have learned to walk on my own two feet.
To rehash on what I would go through to achieve this quit, I would do whatever it takes. Sleepless nights, withdrawals, and rewiring my brain to adjust to new habits. I've put off things that would be more beneficial to my overall health (getting active, learning new things and hobbies, etc.), so I wil need to reconfigure the time I used while sitting around with a dip in my mouth by taking up new things to fill that time. I'll always have the urge to use tobacco, as nicotine addiction is sempiternal. When dealing with withdrawals, I just need to accept the fact that I'm going to have a hard time and better prepare myself. Right now, I'm on here and dealing with a headache, but I have some sugar free candy and water handy for whenever the urge to dip strikes. I also have a couple of phone numbers on hand for whenever I need to contact someone.
-
Also, I know that my word doesn't mean shit since I broke a promise. I sincerely apologize for disrespecting you all, but I hope in time that I will earn it.
-
You say you never embraced this system, yet you didn't include following the system (posting roll daily, in the AM, getting involved, etc) in your answer to #3. As for #2, you also didn't post roll Sunday after doing so first thing the two days before. You gave yourself an out, you had doubts, then you gave yourself an out, then you caved.
Quit hoping and do. I'd revise answer 3 a bit before you post your answers in October, you did come in on their last day and take a shit and walked away. They deserve an explanation.
-
DJ,
I myself didn't embrace the system. I came in here posted roll, did the minimums and got the fuck out. My opinion was that KTC was filled with keyboard cowboys that were great at typing their mind. I didn't need that bullshit when I was in the fog. However, I finally walked from the fog and started reading not only the posts from others but even my own BS.
That is when I learned that embracing the system here was not the goal but rather posting roll, understanding that was a promise to myself and others. Get to meet other quitters, make a net of accountability, so I have many people ready to support me when I need it. I even started meeting quitters face to face, talk about making shit real then. I will put it to you like I do my kids, if you help out around here from time to time your parents (KTC Admins Mods) don't have to do all the work; work stresses people out and you will not like a bunch of stressed, quitters.
I dare you to commit yourself this time, do more than the minimum of posting roll. Read your original intro and see the arrogance and douchiness that exudes from that post. I am willing to bet that is not the real DJ but rather a false DJ typed by nicotine addiction.
Do it or do not, this is all on you. We are here to support you but without your own commitment you are doomed to a life of addiction until that addiction decides to finish or mutilate your body.
The choice is yours,
P

Will do. I would agree with the notion that my douchiness is a mask. I dipped whenever I was alone, so the other 90% of the day that I'm around people I was anxious to get away and get a nic fix. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense that my addiction to nicotine and my social anxiety are connected. I have headaches constantly. I went to a c-store today and the clerk motioned behind him to the dip case.I politely turned it down and told him that I quit. He said that was great, and that he would not sell me any even if it was my dying wish. I thanked him and he said that he quit smoking cold turkey after smoking a carton a day for 15 years. He recommended the local Nicotine Anonymous and gave me the number, so I'm going to pay a visit next time they have a meeting.

Dustin, I came to this site March 4 looking for a magical way to be quit, as if these fine quitters could whisk away my fear and pain of quitting. There is no easy way to be quit, after 100+ days I still need the support I get here, and posting roll is where I start. Quitting dip is one of the hardest things I have done in my 45 years, but also worth every headache and crave I had, and will have going forward. I hope you can re-focus and stay quit this time, get some phone numbers and use them. This is your life we are discussing, this shit will kill you.
