Hey Fellas.
Today is the first day of the rest of my life not dancing with Mr. Dip.
I'm 44, and I've been dipping for 20+ years. Skoal WG LC. A tin a day. I started out smoking and moved to the dip. I am so tired of being a slave to Nic.
I'm married with 3 young children. I consider myself lucky that my kids haven't figured out why I am always "spitting". I don't want them using "daddy did it" as part of their rationalization for trying out a nicotine product when they get older. And we all know they will be offered/tempted at some point. It'll hopefully be a tougher leap for them to make.
Quitting is easy ..... I've done it a hundred times!!!!
But this time it is different. I feel it. I finally realized, with the help of my wife, that I cannot do it alone. It never works!!! I've never reached out to anyone before.
I have quit before for 6 months, 2 years, etc. My biggest failure is when I get cocky and think I can handle a pinch from a buddy. When that happens, it's all over. I'm back to dipping within a month. I'm hoping with a support group behind me, I won't fall for that trap again.
I've got the heavy fog coming back. It's funny after eating my sandwich I felt pretty good, then about 15 mins. later the fog came back. These first few days can be brutal! But I promise to succeed.
Thank you all in advance for your support.
Later,
Alex

Again, welcome! It was nice to see your roll post today. If you haven't done so yet take the time to read the welcome center - the pink link in the upper left corner of the headder. That should give you the basics. See you at roll in the morning.

Wiks,
Welcome to KTC well thats get some things cleared right up. You never quit you had a stoppage.
You sir like me are an addict read the law of addiction you can not just have one ever again. The only difference between us and crack whores is the legality of our substances.
go to the top of the page to the left go to the welcome center. you will need to listen learn read read read this will help you start to fill up your tool bag so you can combat the NIC BITCH when she comes for her slave.
Post roll you are in the OCT quit group. you are not quiting for ever you are quiting for today. post roll give us your word that you will not use nicotine in any form wake up repeat.
PM me if you need help with anything

You sir have made a great choice, in not only Quitting, but finding this site! Take all the support you can get, post roll everyday, find some dip substitutes. Do those 3 things there's no way you go back to that dirty Nic bitch. Congratulations on being a quitter, not a stopper

Great choice, Big Al!!! Read all you can. Stay strong. And stay quit, brother!!!

I just remembered how much Day 2 blows!!!! The fog is thick. I can't concentrate. But I'm pretty sure day 3 will be ALOT better than day 2 and day 1. I feel mentally strong though. I will stick it out.

Hang in brother, I know it sucks. I'm on Day 3 now and it's better than Day 2, I k now from experience that nothing sucks more than having to do Days 1 and 2 multiple times. Hit me up if you need someone to vent with, Octobers gotta stick together!
Proud to be quit with you brother.

Wiks made it to the train!!!! Nice job.....................
I am 44 with a wife and 3 kids. I have been dipping and/or doing some form of nicotine for 25+ years. I have quit nicotine probably 30+ times. However this time it really feels different. The people of this website helped shine a light and make me realize that I am an addict. And I have to fight the fight everyday. I can't cheat or I will lose. It is inevitable. I have only written a handful of poems in my life. For some reason, I was inspired to write one about The Quit. Here goes it.... Later, Wiks
The Quit
by Wiks
I awaken with boiling blood through my veins
Where are you? I want you, I miss you, I need you today
Zip, rip, twist and dip
AaaahhhhÂ….. there you are, take the buzz away
Coffee and cereal as morn has come
I want you again, I miss you, I need you
Throw one in, dip and spit
Our journey continues
From sunrise to moonrise the juice keeps flowing
The tingle comes and goes. I want to break free. I am at the brink
She wants me, she misses me, she fools me
She comforts me once again or so I think
The morning comes. The light has shown. I have awoken
I will stand my ground and will not sit
The bitch will be slayed but never forgotten
For I AM an addict and today I QUIT
Great Job Wiks! Remember to drink the quit koolaide daily and keep fighting the good fight!
