Start by clicking the WELCOME CENTER in the task bar at the top of the screen.

Go up to the pink welcome center link and read that page. It explains how to post roll in your quit group. April 2013. Use your introduction page you started to document and journal your thoughts, rages and questions each time. Hook up with your quit group and exchange phone numbers or email to text / call guys when you need extra support. Welcome to KTC.

Thank you

Matt,
Glad you found us. Two things to read on how to get started.....
First, this is something I wrote (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=7140) a while ago to help new folks get started on the site.
Next, Wastepanel has a good introduction that can be found here. (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=7614) Your group will be the April 2013 quit group found here. (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showforum=2)
This is your introduction thread. Feel free to ask questions, make comments, and use this as a diary going forward. I found that just posting every once in a while in my intro thread on how I was feeling helped immensely when I had a bad case of the yips coming on. Shout if I can do anything else for you.
YOU CAN DO THIS.

It is amazing how much better I feel already! I quit for two years one time about ten years ago..it would have been nice to have people to talk with then. It would have made a difference!
Thank you
Matt

Welcome Matt! Make sure you post roll with the best group of quitters in the business! index.php?showtopic=7622st=0 (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=7622&st=0) Do this every day. This is how you commit to yourself and to us that you are going to be quit for the day. PM me if you have any questions. We are in this together, so reach out if you need anything at all.

It's good to have you here. Today is the day when you receive the help you need. We can't physically be there to remove the snuff when you think about caving, but we will be here encouraging you thru your quit. Make sure you join the April 2013 Quit group. Post roll every day. That's your way of promising that you are quit today. Don't worry about tomorrow, just today. You've got a great support system. Talk to the guys in the same Quit Group. They are experiencing some of the same things you are going thru. PM, call, email, text each other. It you need anything, PM me.

Your intro looks so much like mine did 125 or so days ago. I was at day 9 and lost. You have made a great decision to be quit and finding KTC will help you be quit and stay quit. Every other response is dead on. If 100 more reply, they'll all say the same thing.
1. Post every morning.
2. keep your promise to stay quit for today.
3. Wake up tomorrow and do it again.
As easy as washing your hair, right? Haha!!! You're going to have days that really suck, if you haven't already. This will pass. Stay close to the site when you can. Tell everyone you know and don't know that you are quit. Hell - I told everyone about the site for the first two months. Tell your dip buddies that you are quit and tell them about the site. Drink lots of water, exercise, understand your triggers, find an oral release like gum, seeds, fake snuff, coffee grinds, Jaw breakers, whatever works. Going back to dip is not an option.
We're all here for you. Now go get some numbers and emails and don't be afraid to text. Even just to say, "I'm quit with you today." You'll be amazed how much it will help you and the person you're texting.
Dipless, out!!! Stay quit, bitches!
-
You never had a "habbit" it is and always will be an addiction. Scratching your balls is a habbit, one I enjoy greatly. Also, you never quit...you stopped.
Good news is this site will guide to QUIT your ADDICTION. There's a lot of bad ass mother fucking Titans of quit on this site, all willing to help you QUIT.
I'm proud to be quit with you today. Keep on trucking.

Tomorrow is day 7 dip free! I am really enjoying being able to pull my phone out and type my thoughts to people! It helps...

Another work day done and no dip! Sunflower seeds and gum seem to help.

That's good. Now you need to make that nic like Manti Te'o's girlfriend - non existent

No dip today! Didn't have time to figure out how to post roll last night, too busy spending uninterrupted time with my daughter. What a dick I am missing so much time with her just pack my lip with that shit. I am gonna do this...I've got to do this! I am done!

Remember that each minute you are quit. Remember how the nic stole so much of the precious time you are alotted on this earth. I too remember dismissing my children so I could sneak another dip. I remember my wife wanting to be kissed only for me to turn her away because I had a dip of snuff in my lip. Like Bobby Boucher used his anger for his tackling fuel, use those awful memories as your quitting fuel.
Don't forget, quit today, let tomorrow worry about tomorrow.

Dip free work day!

Keep rolling Matt, you got this shit. Weekends are toughest time for me. Keep some numbers close by. Keep reading, reading and reading some more. The education you can receive on this site about addiciton could get you a psychology degree. This is life or death bro, you got this.
Ryan
-
Thanks Ryan! Weekends are the toughest, but I fished for ten hours last Saturday with no nicotine. That was a mother fucker!!!! But I love the freedom! I love the replies it keeps me strong.
I got to tell you I would have never believed a web site would help, but it does a lot more than that! I keep busy reading everything on here when I get the urge and knowing so many others have the same problems and want to overcome them is comforting!
Thanks
Matt
-
I have only 1 question..............where the hell are you fishing?? we have no ice here yet. I am just counting the days until MLB and bass season. It will be my 1st of each without dip. I will be strong by then.

I live in Delaware .. It was 48 degrees and sunny Saturday. Caught 4 stripers and 11 tog. In the Atlantic of course!

Kick ass, keep it up. The next step is to start reaching out and put your ass on the line a little bit - send a few guys your phone number - accountability is a cornerstone of this site and having a few friends here will step up the accountability. I promise it won't make your quit less strong.

This is the hardest because I think you actually mean it this time. You also have some accountability keeping you from taking the pussy way out. Its easy to convince your own addicted mind to go back to the can. Its much harder when you have so many people rooting for you and you don't want to let them...nor yourself down.
That's why this site works. It doesn't give you an easy out. It gives you a ton of support and forces you into an actual hard out.
Stick with it man. You're in the heart of the battle. This is where the men are seperated from the boys. We are here in your corner. We cant fight the fight for you but we sure as hell can tell you how it win it. You cant see out of your left eye...we'll cut it for you. Just like Mick did for Rocky.

I need help understanding something. I posted roll at 6:45 am.. Checked and saw my name on roll. Looked again later and my name was gone? This went on until the 5th time I posted ..why does this happen. Today has been a rough day.. Very irritable and quick to snap, but never craved a dip! Doesn't matter anyway because I quit all day today!
Thanks
Matt

Hey Matt, sounds like your getting bumped. Are you posting from a phone or PC. If PC, press F5 just before you quote to refresh screen. I have been screwing up role for a month now. If by phone PM me and I will send you directions. Keep quitting man, sounds like you're rocking with the good days and the bad.

Come on man, I understand your frustration, but stick it out. I had to spend quite a bit if time today as I bumped and fixed two and while fixing was bumped. The system ain't perfect but it does help keep everyone engaged and focused. I usually have time during the day to get on and off and would be happy to check for you if you stick it out. PM me if you are interested.

Dude relax please. Go take a look at the history of my group. I got bumped all the time. Nobody is doing it on purpose or just to piss you off. Guaranteed 99% of the time you're posting roll at the same moment as somebody else and a bump occurs. Should they/you look? Yes but it doesn't happen all the time going back to look. Go show the person who runs your spreadsheet that you posted where it might say you didn't.
Be pissed at nicotine not bumps

There was a time when I thought my quit group was intentionally bumping me kinda of a passive agressive way of saying "get the hell out", but it was only Nic whispering lies in my ear. Keep posting and don't be afraid to give a little feedback to guys who always seem to bump people without checking. If you post and bump someone, go back and fix it and note it. ex: gwb - 310 (bump fix). It lets people know you are doing your part.
You can't always go back 10 times a day to check. If you get bumped, then contact the sheet guy to fix it if you want. Whatever works for your quit.
