After reading through a number of posts, I find comfort knowing I'm not unlike any of the rest of you. I've been on the can since '08, addicted to nicotine in all forms for 33 years... I want to give up being controlled by nicotine.
I too have attempted to quit dipping a number of times. Longest stretch was four years ago after a scare; dentist thought that the sore I had looked like cancer. Stopped me for 6 months.. then I went to an oral surgeon who told me that I was in the clear, and on my way back to work from that appointment, I stopped and got a tin. I've stopped for a few days, and weeks, at a time since, but never quit. Today, I quit.
My reasons are selfish; I don't want cancer. That's it in a nutshell. There are many other reasons why like money, social acceptance, family, but cancer is the one that motivates me.
I'm looking forward to your support.

Welcome to the family. I'd recommend that you read every HOF speech on KTC. Reach out to anyone everyone. Hydrate, workout hydrate some more. Come prepared to win my friend w/ the help of a few friends you will be on the road to recovery.
-
I'd recommend that you read the welcome center and learn how to post roll call, some bad ass quitters in November my man.

Welcome Dalrich! You've been given good advice. Posting roll (accountability) is the cornerstone of KTC. If you have not done so, do it now. It really is important. I chewed for 33 years and have been quit for 185 days. You can do this, but you have to make it happen. PM me if I can help.

Ok so you didn't post roll yesterday, and you haven't posted roll today.

Okay, sorry for the newbie questions... I've looked around, but couldn't find where to post on roll call, or where my quit page is. Could someone point me in the right direction? BTW, today is officially my first day... last dip was yesterday afternoon

thanks for your support
tough love man. Glad you're here. If you need some digits when times get tough send me a pm.

Welcome to KTC Dalrich! Glad to have a new member. Today is the start of your quit. No more going back for "one more". Making it 6 months just shows you possess the ability to stay quit. This time around, you have more resources at your disposal. So make this one count. Post roll every day and chat with other members. You can do this.

Welcome Dalrich. I see you posted. Great job. It is confusing in the beginning, but you will get the hang of it. Throw yourself completely into this site and your brothers of November. They will be who gets you through the tough moments and days to come, along with your own desire to stay quit. Send me a PM (inbox in the upper right hand corner) if you need support or my phone number. All of us are here to help. We are all in this together. Here's the best advice and you will see this all around the site. Post roll as early as possible. What makes this site much more successful than other support groups is the posting of roll every day. Not every other or once or twice a week, but every single day. It is your word to yourself and all your brothers here at KTC that you are making a ONE day promise to not use nicotine. Once you get through today, you wake up tomorrow and do the same thing. good luck.

Dalrich - tomorrow is your 100th day nicotine free. How does it feel? 100 days is truly awesome and you should enjoy this milestone with your quit brothers. Post your promise tomorrow early. Post your promise here in April 15 and in November 14. The 100...a great milestone, however, still only 100 days into your quit, just a fraction of days that we, me you us, have dipped. This is the beginning. 100 days has been a training period to show you how to quit and how to utilize the tools given to you. Now you need to make the same promise you have for the last 100 days, for the rest of your life, ODAAT. The addiction never goes away. we are never cured. Enjoy The 100, but get your ass back for 101.
Congrats. Schaef
Congratulations on reaching 100 days, Dalrich. Like Schaef said over in your quit group, this is a great milestone but is just a tiny drop in your bucket of quit. I'm glad to see you made it this far. But the real achievement and success comes from staying quit for the rest of your life. One day at a time. Stay strong, stay quit.
