Hey,
Day five of the quit. Have not gone this long since I was 12 and that was 28 years ago. Chewed a can to two cans a day for most of my life. Feel like crap, struggling , and I have a can in my car. I feel like its good luck. If you haven't gathered this already I am not real bright. Got hypnotized on Monday (not kidding) and that work real well for about seven hours then my brain try to convince me if I don't chew I will die. Staying strong somehow and Kill the can has helped as I looked into it from the outside. Now I am in and realize I cant do this on my own. I need help . I need others who know or are where I am right now in my head. Right now my head is a bad neighborhood.
Thanks

Go post roll in your quit group (February) right now. Post what you've written here too. There are a whole lot of us who know what you are going through. Just post roll, focus on today, and keep your word. Anybody can quit for a day. Anybody. Get through today, and then wake up tomorrow and do it again. It will suck for a while, but nobody dies from quitting chew/dip. You'll come out on the other side and be a new man.
I quit with you today.

I quit with you today.
The first thing you need to do if you are serious about quitting is go out to your car, open that can and dump it out in the dirt. If you really want to quit you don't need that can sitting in your car calling your name, whispering in you ear, "one dip won't hurt." That nic b$@ will lie to you and deceive you. That whisper will get louder and louder until it is a deafening scream. Don't keep it around. There is a reason this place is called "Kill The Can".
Find something to take it's place. There are lots of fake dips available that have no tobacco and no nicotine. Some use sunflower seeds, candy, gum. Drink plenty of water. Put just about anything in your mouth but that ground up plant that has been controlling your life. Take back control.
You will get great advice here and lots of support, but I am sure everybody will say the same thing. GET RID OF THAT CAN.

Step One: Flush all NICOTINE you have down the toilet, throw it in the trash, or the nearest dumpster.
Step Two: Search your own self, go look into the mirror, look yourself in the eye and ask if you really want to quit. Do you really WANT TO BE FREE?
Step Three: If the answer to the above was yes, ADMIT you need help to beat this addiction, admit that you are an ADDICT to nicotine.
Step Four: Find your quit group and tons of people that are in the exact place you are right now, fight your battles together and take each step ODAAT - One Day At A Time
Step Five: Post roll and PROMISE to not use nicotine for that 24 hours, do whatever it takes to keep that shit out of your mouth. Sunflower seeds, gum, fake snuff, or whatever else it takes.
Lastly: The next day, you wake up out of bed, you take a piss and wipe your eye. THEN YOU POST YOUR PROMISE TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE AGAIN!!!! To not use for another 24 hours -repeat daily.
PS: All kinds of people here are in your corner and we will help you anyway we can. Want to exchange numbers.. No problem. Need somebody to help you get through a rough time.. Easy. Think nobody has been where you are right now.. Please.. Take a look around here this place WORKS!! It will work for you too if you buy into the program and let it.
I chewed since I was 14 years old I never thought I would be able to quit. I also have horrible anxiety problems and every time in the past I started to panic I just caved and went back to chewing from the CANCER CAN!!!
Guess what happened with KTC.
Rampant Day 66 I am QUIT Today. You ready to dig deep and get the job done or are you just whistling Dixie?

1. You better throw that can away. If not, you won't like what's said to you in here.
2. You can do this.
3. You better get in the February quit group ASAP.

Just in case you haven't gotten the message yet, dump the can in the toilet. Flush the toilet. Rinse all the dip particles out of the can. Throw the can away.
Keeping the can as a trophy is the fastest way to a cave.
Go to the February '17 group and post roll. Posting roll is the cost of admission here, and the backbone of the site.
If we're coming across as harsh, it's because we've read your story a thousand times, and have each lived some version of it. We know what it takes to quit, and we don't mess around. We take quitting very seriously.

You're in my quit group and I know how you feel. The same day I started on here I took the advice of destroying all remnants of dip I had in my possession. We have a good quit group and tons of people that want to see us succeed in this community. The weekends are tough feel free to PM if you need an ear. Make it happen today!
