Hi, My name is Brett.... I am a 25 yr old male from the southern most tip of Louisiana. I am super hyped about finding this site.. I have battled dip for about 7 years now. I started in college when none was looking.. It was my little secret, and it was my comfort. I clung to a dip like I did a good girlfriend. I am not looking for sympathy, but I feel that the dip has turned my life upside down. I had a girlfriend though college and well we dated until we ready to get married, but I had one demon to face. I was addicted heavily to tobacco. She didn't know.. so I decided it was time to quit.. I quit.. It was the most miserable year of my life.. not only was I fighting the withdrawal symptoms, but I was fighting a relationship that had an affair going on. Yeah that's right she was cheating while we were engaged.. It was a horrible situation but in the end oh how much clearer my head could have been if I had let go of tobacco sooner. Tobacco clouds the mind... It makes your body hurt and your gums bleed. Now I am just hoping that I can see life's beauty again the way it was intended with the help of some friends.......

Welcome Brent... It's time to quit- you know that. Heres the thing- you have to DECIDE to quit. Here, we do not "try" to quit, we do not "hope" we can stay quit, We make a promise to be quit for TODAY and then we keep it. There is no try, hope and pray to be quit, There is only a daily promise, and an honoring of that promise.
People here have remained quit through incredible personal trials, divorce, loss of a child, loss of a spouse, loss of a parent, military deployment, you name it. Your decision to quit does not depend on anything else... nicotine will not solve any problem that you face.
I have no doubt that you can quit. Join us : make a promise to all of us by posting roll in the September 2012 quit group. To see why and how click on the WELCOME CENTER on the above left.
Join the KTC revolution.......Sticking it to big tobacco - one day at a time.

Thanks for the optimistic posts guys... I am in... All in... I don't care if i have to miss work or bang my head into a wall...

Brett you will be surprised to find how common your story of addiction is. The support here is awesome. You will get out of KTC what you put in. Help your brothers, ask for their help. Most important quit 1 day at a time!!

You can do this, Brett. Post roll, read all you can, and repeat. It is that simple...I didn't say easy, but it is simple.
Just take it one day at a time. Anyone can quit for one day, right? Then wake up and do it again. Don't worry about tomorrow, next week, next year...we'll deal with them when they get here. But today, you're quit. And that is all you need to focus on.
Really...while you were engaged?!! Sorry to hear it. But you've got brighter days ahead, brother. Just focus on the important thing...today.

Brett,
I think it is awesome that you figured out what a harlot of lies the tobacco and nicotine industry is. Especially at 25!!!!
It took me until I was 41 to finally want to quit. Tobacco was my mistress in my marriage and it sucked. I missed out on so much because I needed my alone time with the poison. When I quit, I felt a void, I missed her.
After this site and much reading, the pain and yearning moved into an absolute hatred for all things tobacco. WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT! Tobacco / Nicotine is so addictive. It serves no value in life except to take your money and integrity while putting at risk your health....For what? Seriously for a buzzy feeling at times?
There is no redeeming qualities. So my mistress became ugly, evil and vile. I hated when I had cravings and I didn't entertain them. (I needed KTC to do that)
Anyway, I now am at war with tobacco and always will be. 79 days strong and each day I succeed, the stronger I am in my quit.
Embrace the suck and I am glad you see the truth at 25. Never go back, she is a liar and a thief. Screw the chew and stay quit today!

I've been there for 50 days of MThomas' quit, and he's been there for all of mine. We win together, we lose together :)

You know what I read in this?
A lot of stuff to look at instead of focusing on the real issue of addiction to nicotine.
"I'm not looking for sympathy, but....."
"I quit.. It was the most miserable year of my life."
You set yourself up to fail from the get-go.
Can't believe nobody called you on this intro post as being rainbows and unicorns....
How about a new one that actually speaks of the real you.....
