Well, I've tried quitting snuff more than I can remember but never successfully. I think I just really didn't want to. Last fall I started replacing a pinch with nicotine gum every so often. But did it really half ass. Last week I got a couple sores and for some reason it has gotten me worried. A few of the sores have gone away and a few have popped up. I read on webmd that see a doctor if they don't clear up in two weeks. So I'm watching them closely. But anyway, I've carried the snuff monkey on my back for maybe 23/24 yrs (God please don't let it be too late!). But I woke up yesterday 2/24/2014 morning and I said to myself "I wonder how long I can go without a pinch?" (Y'all honestly out a 24 hr day I had snuff in my mouth for 20 hrs of it! Well, I made it till about 2 pm and I had a pinch for about 20 minutes. Today I've been tobacco free all day! The patches seem to help and so does the herbal tobacco free snuff. I'd like a pinch but I WANT to be 100 days free of it. Y'all pray for me.

Hey Waca...
First of all welcome. You're in the right place. Second of all, this is a zero nicotine site so flush your dip stash, throw away the patches, pitch the nic gum out. Get rid of it all.

Go to the welcome center (salmon colored tab above) and read up on how to post roll. You will be part of the June '14 nic group. Posting Roll daily is the price of admission to this club. You will find hundreds of guys that have gone through exactly what you're going through now. I'm on Day 60 and never thought it could be done. Stick with the KTC program and it can be done my friend. I quit with you today.

Waca,

I am on day 14 so I know what you feel like. Post roll call 1st thing every morning because it gives you clarity on why you are quitting.

Get rid of the NIC..i did gum for 3 days WEAK.

Drink tons of water. Do push ups when you get the urge. Chew gum.

Do it ONE DAY AT A TIME.

This site has power so come here as often as you need to.

You are SO close to reclaiming your life! Get rid of all the nicotine around you- chew, gum, patches, losenges, etc. Get it destroyed and gone. You ahve to jump in all the way- the nicotine replacements do not address the main problem - the addiction. I didn't learn that until i came across this site. Read about it in the welcome center, upper left of the web page here. Here's another link I share that helped me learn some more, originally shared with me by KTC quitter SpartonRon-- Nicotine Addiction 101 (http://whyquit.com/whyquit/linksaaddiction.html)

If you follow the program here, you can and will quit successfully. You get out of it what you put in to it here. If I can do it with this site, then you can too. I"m convinced that the only reason I could quit, after many years of trying, is because I jumped in with both feet here and gave it my all. Come join us, you can do it here!

Heck of a lot better now than I have in years......

DONT CAVE!!!!!!

Brett has summed this up in a single sentenceÂ…"you are so close to reclaiming your life"Â…reclamation starts once you have removed all the nicotine containing products from your possession. These are currently claiming your lifeÂ…and therefore must rid yourself of them to repo your life back.

Doesn't look like you have posted roll yet, so get your name on that roll and make a promise to yourself and all of us that you will not use nicotine today. Tomorrow, do the same thing. You'll soon find that you are no longer accountable only to yourself, but to thousands. And we're going to be pissed if you caveÂ….so don't. Tough love here, but from what I've found it stretches wide and runs deep.

I'd like to thank y'all for having my back. I'd like to share my some of what's motivating me. My kids! I saw a picture of a guy that had mouth cancer and the poor fellows face was in bad shape. I thought to myself I don't want to put my kids in the position of explaining to there friends what happened to me or some other situation that could be embarrassing for them. The other is my faith. I want to honor my savior Jesus Christ.

Y'all got to forgive me cause I'm not very computer savvy and I'm still trying to find my way around the site.

You can do this. Forget the sores forget the guy with oral cancer. Quit because your tired of being a slave and have more respect for yourself than that.

Let me share why I say this; I dipped for 40+ years, had all the mouth sores, lost teeth, gum grafts, sat with my friend as he died with most of his face eaten away and still literally had Copenhagen in my mouth nearly 24-7 (slept with it, ate with it sometimes and never spit). 696 days ago I sat at the toilet and cried as I flushed my last 3 cans and mourned.

Today I again sat in the dentist chair and had a tooth pulled, what was different about this time? I didn't pack my mouth with dip as I left the office! My life no longer rotates around a damn can with a shiny metal lid.

Dude just find your balls and quit. No nicotine. Go through the fire. Your soul, body, and mind need to be free of nicotine. Only you can make that happen. Do it one day a time by pledging to us that you won't use nicotine. This is how it is done.

Waca,

You only ever tried to quit, thats why you always only failed.
Nicotine gum in between dips only kept you hooked on nicotine. It baffles me to see people be so naive to think that they can quit using nicotine with a gum or a patch that puts the fuckin shit directly in your body, just as a dip did. WAKE UP MAN.

And Waca, I hope The only reason you are in here isnt because you woke up with sores that wont go away. I call those kind of people "SCARE STOPPERS" which in that case, they join KTC, become nicotine free, just until the sores go away or there doctor tells them it isnt cancer. Then they go buy another can. Like an idiot

When you where saying some shit about dipping 20 hours a day for some blah blah blah crap......DUDE, YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL, WE ARE ALL ADDICTS HERE, there are people here that dipped less than you, and there are people who have dipped 3x as much as you. WAKE UP MAN

Now, for this crap about hoping, trying and praying ------FAILURE )......WAKE UP MAN. Where are your fucking nuts. We quit COLD TURKEY. No patches, no gums, no cigs, no babying.

Every person on this site has either gone through or is going through the withdrawals of quitting nicotine. Like i said, your story is not special, nor is it to far from every other persons story on this site.

You need to flush every goddamn can of chew, cigs, gum, burn the fucking patches, and QUIT LIKE FUCK.

If you need somebody to spell it out any clearer, send me a PM and ill give you my number. I can draw you a picture and mail it to you.

Either quit or get. Patches are just a different nicotine delivery system.

These guys are leading you down the right path...

I remember reading all of these posts before I made my decision and being very fearful of what quitting would be like. The nic bitch had me so convinced that quitting dipping would be so bad that i would be in the hospital having convulsions for days on end.

I decided that I would make a Fri my quit date and now, I'm a few hours away from 21 days. If I can do this, you can too. Now sack up, flush your shit and QLF. I'll quit with you

I've read y'all's stories and comments to my post. I making a lifestyle change and quitting snuff is part of it. I realize I have to quit every morning and keep to the promise I made to myself all day and do it again the next day. I'm sure each of you have been through hell and back. Good for you! I am a quitter and will never (I mean never) touch it again. I kept my last half can for the first three days of my quit. It was my Everest that I was going to beat. I left it there on the counter to see how badly I wanted to quit. Guess what, I beat it! I dumped the content down the toilet. I kept the empty can and wrote myself a little note and stuck it to the can. Now, it my trophy. Just like a warrior kept his enemy's sword. I'm new to this group. I've read everyone needs to find there own way. However, y'all are very critical to the new guys at a time they need caring arms around them. I've (like many of you) gone all day without a pinch. Tomorrow ill wake up and quit all day again. But I don't think this group is right for me. If I wanted to get cussed at I'd go see my mother who has dementia and cusses me up and down for things I have no idea for. I'm glad this group of 16000 has help y'all and I pray for continued success. Adios!

I'm sad to see you leave so soon. You said Adios so I hope you at least get this as an email. If you try to quit without KTC, I wish you the most luck and hope you are successful. If quitting is what you really want, I really hope that you are strong enough to quit. I'll put you on my prayer list for quitting. I hope you understand that the point of this website is to help keep you accountable to peers. Unfortunately, when men are gathered, especially with anonymity, their language becomes laces with profane words. It sounds like that may have offended you. As a Christian, my thought is this: The most addictive drug in the world deserves the harshest words I can find. Also, cussing makes me feel better and doing it on here doesn't make me feel as bad as cussing in front my colleagues.

All in all - leave the site at your own peril. I would love to quit with you daily, but if you aren't going to be posting roll, I don't see that as an option. If you decide to go this by yourself and make it to day 100, please log back in and PM me so I can celebrate with you. If you cave before then, please log back in and PM me so I can verbally kick you in the genitals and hopefully motivate you to save your own life.

What? Now I'm sorry I wasted my time and keystrokes on you. And it was only yesterday that I offered support (and without cusswords even!). You didn't even give this site 1 day...and now you're saying "adios"? Come on. You're quitting on your quit from where I sit.

My offer is still out there, if you want to put your purse down and come quit, ill give you 100% support. If you dont want to commit ,well i suggest you keep hoping and praying.

I recommend you come sit in the front pew with this addiction. Get accountable. Sitting in the back pew so you can slip out without anyone noticing is what you normally do. Make a difference this time. There is a lot of good people here. Don't be fooled.

I realize I have to quit every morning and keep to the promise I made to myself all day and do it again the next day. I'm sure each of you have been through hell and back. Good for you! I am a quitter and will never (I mean never) touch it again. I kept my last half can for the first three days of my quit. It was my Everest that I was going to beat. I left it there on the counter to see how badly I wanted to quit. Guess what, I beat it! I dumped the content down the toilet. I kept the empty can and wrote myself a little note and stuck it to the can. Now, it my trophy. Just like a warrior kept his enemy's sword. I'm new to this group. I've read everyone needs to find there own way. However, y'all are very critical to the new guys at a time they need caring arms around them. I've (like many of you) gone all day without a pinch. Tomorrow ill wake up and quit all day again. But I don't think this group is right for me. If I wanted to get cussed at I'd go see my mother who has dementia and cusses me up and down for things I have no idea for. I'm glad this group of 16000 has help y'all and I pray for continued success. Adios!
I recommend you come sit in the front pew with this addiction. Get accountable. Sitting in the back pew so you can slip out without anyone noticing is what you normally do. Make a difference this time. There is a lot of good people here. Don't be fooled.
The nicotine patches are the problem. You are still feeding yourself nicotine. Therefore you are not quit. We quit nicotine here. Once you do that you will be hugged and patted and all that.

I'd like a pinch but I WANT to be 100 days free of it. Y'all pray for me.


You will need a lot of prayers to go this alone. Thin skin isn't something that makes a quitter.

There is a purpose for the no bullshit attitude, we've all been there and know without accountability the odds are against you. Memories will fade and the draw of nicotine will win.

Everyone does need to find their own way. However... that does not mean you get to do whatever the hell you want when you post roll  quit here at KTC.

If you come to KTC to quit then you need to quit the KTC way. There is no other option.

The plan works... it is proven... it is not broken. KTC does not need to be re-tooled.

You do it our way  you can  will quit today.

Your way has failed you. You have lost your way. And now you are running away again. So it just sounds like you are not ready.

You need to lose the pride, admit you are an addict  need help, accept the feedback here from those that are winning and quit.

If you are not ready, then come back when you are. We will be here.

I've been here 35 days , quit for each one of them. Posted roll every day. I've received nothing but incredible support. No one has ever sworn at me. If you quit the KTC way, all you get is support. If you screw up, you will be given some guidance/tough love. Why? Because it works!

Every person that has posted in your intro, in their own way, is only trying to help you. We all know that for so many of us this is the only way we have found after many years of slavery and untold quit attempts that actually works for us. There is a lot of passion here. If you would just open your mind, have some trust and get rid of the crutch it could be that for you too.
