I'm trying to figure this out. I'm figurin' out that I'm not so savvy with all this stuff.
I am tryin' to introduce myself. I'm Bear Hawk and I'm in my 50's. I started dipping when I was in 8th grade back in Texas. I've of course quit off and on several times over the years.
I really want to quit permanent this time. I started quitting last week 8/15/13 and I'm doing good.
In the past I used all sorts of methods to quit but I find the cold turkey works the best for me.
I'm a real addict ... I'm the kind of guy who often trades bad habits but this time I'm just straight up giving this addiction the cold shoulder. I'm quit and darn the side effects.
I told my family and my co-workers that I was going to live up to my nick name and be a real bear for a while and well ... it hasn't been so bad this time ... not really.
So Hey there folks ... glad to see ya :wacko:

I dipped for 24 + years.
Tried to quit many times.
Failed.
Until I found this place.
Post roll.
Give your word.
Keep it.
I could tell you what all that means, but if you are serious, you will figure it out.
if not,
no harm, no foul.
You can do this.
Show me.

There is only one quit,,, and it's final. You are addicted to one of the most addictive drugs known to man and freedom from it means,, NEVER AGAIN FOR ANY REASON.
Making this quit last means getting your mind right brother!

It will be rough for a minute or two, but in time you will discover all the lies you have believed and kick yourself right in the ass for ever putting that filthy disgusting poison in you pie hole. Glad to be quit with you.

Bear, welcome to the quit train. You have come to the right place to quit. You will have more help, support and encouragement than you can imagine, but the really hard part will be up to you. Click on the welcome center and read everything you can. PM me with any questions or concerns you have. We are all addicts here and fight the same fight. You will also have alot of company in your fight. Again, congratulations on the best decision of your life...and welcome aboard the quit train!
-
Welcome Bear! Yeah you'll definitely get all the support help you can ask for out of this site for sure. Great group of guys on here! It's tough, but so far I'm learning it's doable. I haven't hit the bear phase yet myself, wondering when it's gonna kick in
-
BearHawk,
you joined your commuity on 8/16 and posted once, today (in your intro). If you are indeed quit as of 8/24/13, head over to your group (Pre HOF-November 2013) and add your day to the list of quitters that have proclaimed their freedom.
That is step 1.
-
Welcome BearHawk,
Make sure to post roll in your Quit Group, that is a key step in staying Quit. Feel free to PM me if you need a phone number for support.
Stay Quit!

2 weeks behind me and the rest of my life ahead. Taking a leap ... ha ha ... I did that in the military back in the day. I think sky diving is useless. Get your thrills on the ground. If you want to sky dive join the Military and do it for a reason.Â
Taking a leap to quit now that is another subject ... you see it goes back to things you have to do vs. things you want to do. I want to quit ... have wanted to for years.Â
Doing really well today ... I'm very often random so don't think that has anything to do with the zero nicotine ... it's just me.
This is BearHawk's first post. He posted on the right page. He has found his November brothers.
BearHawk, I strongly encourage you to give and take as many phone numbers as are offered to you. You said that you can't talk while at work and I get that but when and where you can, It is extremely helpful to actually speak to some of these guys. (don't listen to the gals, they all lie ;) ) You have proven that you understand the real basics. Next comes the part where you post roll. I posted roll for you today because you seemed to have a little difficulty with the site. You say that you aren't all that savvy with all this stuff. Do you have a friend or family member that may be able to help walk you thru some of this stuff? If not, there are people here that can help but you have to reach out to them. I can't remember if I said this to you or someone else but I'll say it again. This site is like a really ugly puppy at the pound. You may walk by it at first thinking it's not worth the effort, but once you give it a shot, it will win you over and you will be together for life. This website is an ugly puppy. I love it. You will to if you take a little time to learn how it likes to be pet (and where the ticklish spots are).
BearHawk, I'm east coast so I'm 2 hours ahead of you. I'll be out of work after 3:00 your time. Call me any time after that. I'll get you up and running on this site before you know it.
You have already said that it hasn't been that bad this time. That's awesome. It may come and go. It's really important that you have a real plan in place for what you are going to do when the mother of all craves hits. How are you going to react when you just want to scream it hits so hard? You are going to call someone. Maybe not me (I was a smoker and don't have the all time best advice to deal with a crave) but you need to have several successful quitters on speed dial to help you thru it when it happens.
I quit with you brother. Right by your side.

How's the quitting going today BH?
Sorry I didn't get back here but it's going very well. It's funny for a redneck like me to use proper English. I'm doin' really good! Thanks for your support friend.

You're more than welcome. Glad to hear it's going well, the support part is easy because we've all gone through the fact that quitting isnt easy. Post/PM whatever if you need support. Have a great weekend!

BearHawk seems to be having difficulty with the steps of posting roll. It doesn't make sense to him. In addition, there were a couple people that began to get impatient with his attempts and while in a fog, BearHawk got really pissed and said "fuck you" to the group. He hasn't been on the site for a couple days and seems to be going out on his own. I've emailed him (no number given) in hopes that I can pull him back to the site and ease him into posting roll.
Come back to us Bear. We're here for you
-
Hopefully BH will be back, there's too much awesome support on this site not to take advantage of it even though yes posting roll is hard. Dare I say it can be harder than it needs to be, particularly for the first few foggy days when you do have to be a little tech savy to get roll to work.

It's that scary time for me ... a month in. Over the years I made it a month before and then I let that stupid thought enter my head that tells me see you made it a month so you have control of this. OH YEAH ... then I go out and buy a can and start that stupid cycle all over again.
This time however I have my brothers out there watching out for me and keeping quit with me. Holding me accountable! I like that.
I have over the last few days had to sit down and argue with myself. I have had to tell myself that hey you are so over tobacco and there is nothing the body or mind can say about it. There is no nicotine in your system and look ... you lived to tell about it so no matter what there is no call to going backward.
I still find myself zoning out now and then but I am starting to think that it's just me and no longer the nicotine cravings.
I am looking forward to 100 day HOF. I am so quit. Thanks brothers ... oh and sisters too.

You are winning Bear. The arguments with yourself happen, but they are dangerous, because you could win. IF you just say "I am quit you damn nicbitch" as soon as it pops its head up, it stays down easier. Once the bitch is awake and fighting with you, those addict arguments can start to sound reasonable.
Glad to be quit with you

Stop thinking about it so much bro. You're giving the whole process too much thought. You're already quit. 30 days, I might add!! Shrug it off and move forward. You. Got. This.
If you'd like another number pm me... I'll bother you day and night :)

Hey Bearhawk,
Gotta agree with Applejack, gotta settle in and just tackle this thing one day at a time. Don't get caught up in thinking about HOF or focus on old failures you got this thing today. Shoot me a PM too if you would like to add to your accountability network!
I'm quit as hell with you today!

Remember do not look forward to any damn day!
Quit one day at a time. You can only control the present, let tomorrow be your worry when it is today.

30 days is some great quit bro! You are winning. Agree with the not over thinking here. Focus on today and keeping the poison dirt out of your body. Slow down, relax, and quit ODAAT. Just as you should not worry about the future... Don't worry about the past attempts either. That don't matter. Woulda, shoulda, coulda. What is done is done. For you ... the only thing that matters is what u do today. Stay in the moment and stay quit. You got this. QLF with u!!

Congrats on a month in BH!! PM away if you want numbers, yes take AJ up on his offer. You'll be thankful to have him checking on you for sure!

This is a little hokey, but I think in analogies so bear with me.
I'm pretty sure that it was my boy Trauma that introduced me to this analogy, but when I first heard it I didn't know wtf he was talking about. It makes a ton of sense now and I hope it does for you. For the rest of our lives there will be two choices for us: addiction and freedom. I think of them as two islands that are connected by a wooden bridge about 50 yards long.
All you had do to get to Freedom Island was make a decision to leave Addiction Island and walk across the bridge. It was kinda scary, but you made it. You're been on Freedom long enough to know that it's a great place, but that bridge is still there and you can see your toothless buddies hanging out across the way. You can still hear the Siren's Song, too... For whatever reason, you feel compelled to go back. Day by day, the old bridge is becoming rotten and overgrown, but it's still there.
You need to load up a van with 55gal drums of gas, get it rolling toward the bridge, and light the fuse. Burn that SOB and walk away. To hell with Addiction Island; that f'n place is filled with false dreams and it reeks of death and decay. You were just there so long that you didn't notice it.
There's no going back. F that. BURN IT.

Do I remember my life as a chewer? I do.
Do I still crave? I do.
Will I ever dip again? I can't say.
Will I dip today? I will not.

(Day 34) over the weekend was washing the car and cleaning up around the yard, you know all that normal weekend stuff and after I had wrapped up the work and sat down to cool off I got this feeling I just had to laugh at.
I wanted a cold beer and a dip but it wasnÂ’t a strong craving just a thought. I just laughed and went got the beer. It's that old habit and now that I am no longer a dipper I just has to let out a laugh at what the old mind brings up.
Hey thanks to all of you my bro's. many good words to ponder.
I think I would rather blow that bridge to hell with high explosive.
Day by day I stay quit and it's a choice I am happy to make.
-
Way to kick it this weekend BH! Congrats on awesome work for another clear weekend!
-
Wow how many times a day did I reach for my pocket out of habit reaching for that can?
I found myself doing it even after 36 days free. It's so funny to me ... I know there ain't a can there but still my hand reaches down for it after I finish eating or when I'm heading to the van after work.
The old habits seem really funny now that my head is clear.
Keepin' strong in my quit.

I'm gonna suggest it was ALOT of times! Because I've caught myself doing it too. Heh, even after over a month, there's still alot of rewiring healing to be done!

I am prepping for next weekend. I work as a security captain at an athletic center and next weekend we have a long difficult 3 day sporting event which is a complete pain in the ass, the people are rude and have the IQ level of dirt. In the past when we have had this event and I was quitting I went back to dipping in order not to kill anyone. This time I have the support of my brothers and I am going to stay quit.

Yep, I did the "pocket search dance" many times before I realized I wasn't missing anything.
You will be fine this weekend. Like you said, all of us are quitting with you. As long as I see you post roll, I won't worry about you. Call or text another quitter if things get rough. PM me if you need another number.

What a wonderful clear sunny day. This is like the perfect summer day and this is the last calendar day of summer. I may be working but I had to stop and just take stock of how wonderful a day it is to be quit. :D

It is indeed a great day to be quit!! Thanks for the reminder to stop smell the roses enjoy the journey

Was thinking - I know for a redneck like me that could be a dangerous thing - but I was thinking back to the mid-70's when I started dipping and a can of Cope cost me 32 cents and now Cope is like over 5 bucks a can out here at the 7/11. That's why I switched to Grizzly at $3.69 a can. Man do you want to talk about inflation. I truly thank God and all of you my brothers for getting me out of that cycle of destruction ... and Debt. HOLY CRAP!
I was also thinking about how much snuff and going along with that money I have just dumped on the ground over all those years. It blows the mind.
-
It does blow the mind, I'm trying to remind myself that you can't go back change the past, you can only remember it use it to improve yourself going forward. Inflation indeed!
But I'm finding breaking the cycle is truly a gift from God too as is all the brothers on this site. Glad to be quit with you today!

I am busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest and will be until Monday. You know what. It's wonderful being quit right now ... I'm so damn busy that I don't have time to think about snuff. To all my Brother's out there thanks for the boost up. With y'all I'm gonna make this quit stick tough.

A can a day where I am is $7-8. I've been spending roughly $210-240 per month on dip. Unreal.
Who pays that much money for the chance at getting cancer and losing half of their face???
Not me anymore. I'm quit.
Glad to be quit with you, BearHawk.

It is indeed a great day to be quit!! Thanks for the reminder to stop smell the roses enjoy the journey
Was thinking - I know for a redneck like me that could be a dangerous thing - but I was thinking back to the mid-70's when I started dipping and a can of Cope cost me 32 cents and now Cope is like over 5 bucks a can out here at the 7/11. That's why I switched to Grizzly at $3.69 a can. Man do you want to talk about inflation. I truly thank God and all of you my brothers for getting me out of that cycle of destruction ... and Debt. HOLY CRAP!

Man I love being busy because it makes the day fly by, but I really dislike with a passion rude people who think somehow they are entitled. This is my least favorite week and weekend of the entire year. Long days, short nights and a lot of real Jerks. This is what makes my day.

Happy Happy Happy - I made it through the toughest weekend of my year without a dip, without wanting to dip and without killing, wounding or otherwise maiming anyone. Thank you brother for checking in with me and keeping me focused. This site really works so well keeping you focused on the quit. The accountability makes it so easy to stay quit.
This is the first time in my life I can stand up and say I'm a quitter and not feel bad about that. I can also say that I am quit!

50 days ... half way to 100, the QOTD was do I feel confident that I'll make it to 100 days ... 1000 days? I feel totally confident that I'll make it to 100 days and 1000 days too. Using this site and being quit with my brothers has made me more confident than ever before that I will stay quit. Now I have no illusions that I will ever be completely rid of this addiction but I know that with my brothers supporting me I will never take another dip as long as I live.
Now I know I am getting better day by day because this morning I left home without taking any chewing gum and I didn't even think about it until just before 9AM (which for me is about 1/3 into my day) and I feel just fine going through the rest of the day without gum.
I had my first dip dream last night and it was so vivid and so real in my mind but again I know I'm really quit and it was jus a dream because #1 I was enjoying that dip way to much and #2 after a few minutes in the dream I realized I was quit and chunked that dip and tossed the can. Now if that had been real life and 51 days ago I wouldn't have gotten rid of the dip, I certainly wouldn't have tossed out a full can of snuff and I wouldn't have been enjoying it so much.
Brothers I thank you for your continuous support. It keeps me level and on track. Because of all of you I own this quit and the nic bitch can kiss my royal polish ass.

I know, one day at a time brothers. And I won't lose focus. For myself and for not one else .... Every day is a new milestone. I really want to get that HOF Knife in my pocket. Something solid to remind me daily of what I consider a real life accomplishment ... staying dip free with my brothers.
-
That's a real accomplishment indeed you've done it 50 times already, that's 50 wins!

I'm going to be at 2 months here over the weekend. 60 wins. This site has provided me with a goal other then looking ahead, it has given me the goal of staying quit ODAAT. Staying quit with my brothers, shooting for that HOF but doing it by keeping accountable each day. I'll see you all here tomorrow - and so on. Keeping quit like this is like a party every day. LOL

OK so I was at work the other day and it was a pretty crappy day with just everyone around me at work giving me shit and I had just finished lunch and when to go back to work when I found my hand reaching into my left front pants pocket searching for the ol' can that used to be there some 60 plus days ago. I stopped myself and started to laugh about it. Then got this hammer of a reality check ... man ... dude ... bro ... (and whatever other term you want to use) you are like so insane. You see ... I get it ... I am an addict and I will always have this compulsion to reach for a can. But Thanks to my Kill the Can brothers ... what I did instead of planning to go to the store, buy an can and cave ... I got on my phone and told my quit brother Dean about my crappy day and just the act of doing that ... made my day better. We agreed it would be a good thing to avoid the 7/11 at any rate on the way home but I pushed on through. But I went an read some HOF and HOL posts and man it blows the mind to think this will go on and on and on and I have to stay QLF, ODAAT, NAFAR all those other Acronyms but you know what being addicted to nicotine is like it FUBAR. So I am going to stay Quit and continue to gain more and more control of my life every day, knowing that I will never ever have to entire ball in my hand.

Right on, you're killing this! Amazing how just talking it out can really help. There was a night or two early on where I wouldn't have made it through at all if it weren't for brothers on KTC.

Do you want to talk about victories - Today 10/25/13 on my 72 day of quit I went to get gas for work; after pumping the gas the darn machine told me I had to go into the store to get my receipt so I head on in without a thought. I get to the register and tell the lady I need the receipt for my gas and she gladly prints it out for me. She then asks me if I need anything else and I say no. She looks at me oddly and says you don't need any snuff? I tell her nope, I quit 72 days ago and you know what ... she congratulates! Victory!!!

That's a great victory Bearhawk. I still have to remind this one guy at the store where I get gas and now sunflower seeds that I don't need the can anymore. He always chuckles like he thinks I'll be back for one someday.....those wins start stacking up and it feels pretty good.
Congratulations on another day of freedom brother! I quit with you.

2 weeks to got to get to 100 days of freedom. I feel really good about this because my eldest daughter is like so proud of me she is planning a 100 day party for me. You know now what I am looking forward to (One Day At A Time) is making it to 365 days and my first birthday in many many years without nicotine. KTC had made me a positive quitter and I can now look on down the road to life with out the spit shit.

Fantastic win!
I myself had a small win yesterday, went into a gas station I hadn't been in for at least 116 days, grabbed my drink and pumpkin seeds and got to the counter while the clerk grabbed two cans of cope longcut southern blend and slid them towards me; I laughed out loud slid them back and said no thanks ma'am that shit is nasty. Then explained my QUIT and had a dentist standing behind me only to ask me questions about the site and see if I would be willing to personally guide two of his young patients.
You are getting there brother, your anger is in the right direction and you continue to celebrate each day. The fact that your daughter is planning a party for you is even better.
I quit with you today Bear Hawk,

Just 10 days away from 100 days. Every morning I get up and think of the number of days I am quit and that I am staying quit one more day. Every night I think about how I made it clean through the day and how tomorrow is a new day quit. I think about my brothers out there who are quit with me at those times too, but the best part about being quit this long ... I'm not thinking about it every minute I am awake now. I know I am quit because I'm not going ape shit at every thought of tobacco: I'm not thinking about tobacco. I am thinking like a true quitter and I am now living my life: nicotine isn't running my life for me.
I now that it will always be there but I know with my brothers and sisters that I am quit for life.
-
Hell. Yes.
It only keeps getting better bro! Learning to live, really live, without a drug is a rush. If can be scary but that's what makes it fun. Rock on...
-
It gets really tough when you get close to a band of brothers and then someone from outside the group comes along and like wastes one of your brothers. That what if feels like having KTC come along and Kill Paddy. I really would like to go and dig into the past of some of these people and see if they ever lied and I wonder if once they were caught in their lies if they hadn't wanted forgiveness? Hey I'm not going to ditch my other brothers but HOLY SHIT people??? Paddy was out there and he was supporting his brothers. So he hid the fact that he caved 3 days in ... but he got back up and got back in line and he didn't hurt anyone doing it. The brother was there and supported me in my quit and he made it 107 fucking days quit after his cave. He was still in the November group so he didn't hurt anyone. So to those of you who want to play like you're some kind of victim and some how you think you're hurt by what Paddy did 'Finger' . I feels like you when off and killed one of your own. I feel now that I need to only stick near those brothers I know will back me and watch my back from the others.
By the way that attitude ... It only hurts the quit of others. I'll be sure to keep the blinders off event though I will keep supporting KTC, it's because of my brothers and sisters and not to support those who killed my brother.

Now we head out west to pick up Bearhawk who wrote his own boarding intro so well I didn't need to change a thing.
"You really messed up asking me so many questions; here goes:
BearHawk (Jim) I've been married to my wife Kathy for 24 years and we have 3 Children (G/B/G) all now over 18 years old. I'm an old Army brat and have lived all over but I call Medina Texas my home town. I now live in Chula Vista California (SoCal). I started dipping in 1974 when I was 14 years old on that day I was introduced to Snuff and Chewing tobacco by all my new friends in Medina and so I had to try it all; I had Happy Days raspberry, Shoal, Garrett, Redman, Copenhagen and the most god awful stuff called Day Work. As you can imagine my stomach was doing flip flops that day, but I settled down to use Cope for the most part of all those years until the cost of Cope went to over 5 dollars a can so I went to Grizzly Snuff for the last couple years. I went between a can a day to a can every 2 days and I average it out to about .75 cans a day there when I quit again for the 900th time 100 days ago. The craziest thing I ever have done; well I spent 20 years in the U.S. Navy and I've been around the world quite a few times and have done quite a few crazy things (So i'd have to kill you for if I told you.), so it's hard to pin point the one craziest so I am going to say spending 20 years in the Navy is the craziest thing I have done. To celebrate my 100 days quit my eldest daughter is giving me a party. She says you can't dip anymore but no one said you can't have a few drinks; I love the young lady! I already signed up for 200 days. It was a rough start here but I have taken on this site and I am going to stick with it. I don't always agree with these crazy brothers but there is no doubt that KTC is working for me. What I bring to the train, well after serving in the Military I am one loyal SOB and I stand up for my brothers. And I brew my own beer when I canl My only words of wisdom to the group in once you make up your mind to do something stick with it and stick with it hard. My favorite saying in life is Push, Pull or get the Fuck out of the way. Right now I work as the lead security supervisor for a very important athletic site. My favorite hobbies all deal with working with my hands and choking on saw dust or getting greasy. My favorite sports teams all have black as their colors (Black and Silver or Black and White), Raiders, Spurs, Kings etc. My Favorite Avatar belongs to KKLJINC, Man have I felt like that a few times over the last 100 days. My brothers Dean and Mike have kept me going here in this group of Skydiving idiots and I look forward to keeping quit with them for life. And AppleJack and KKLJINC have been awesome support too. I don't have access to a computer at home yet so I am limited to what I can do through the day but I am starting to give back and support others. KTC is the real stuff and I want to thank all my brothers out there for supporting me, putting up with my BA in the beginning and helping me get through the rough parts. Keep it classy my brothers and quit on! "
Congratulations Jim on 100 days of quit!

Hey thank you all for your support. I know that this is just one step in the thousands I will take to keep quit for the rest of my life and I know that being here is what keeps me quit. The hard ass support from all of you makes me stronger. Nice to be on that train with all of you. Raising a glass of dark porter with you all.

Well here I am at 107 days and still I get the off the wall crave or reaction. Back 2 days ago I was slammed at work and busier that a one armed paper hanger when I finally got lunch I went and sat down and reached for my pocket where the can used to be. I of course just rolled my eyes and chuckled, stuck a stick of gum in my mouth and headed back to work.
Last night it much have been the turkey, but I had a dip dream and woke up shaking my head and thinking well just goes to show you it ain't ever gonna be gone.
Digging on through brothers and sisters. Wining the battles but the war still goes on.

10 days of vaction without nic was completely wonderful. I can't remember the last time I could do anything without having to plan how much snuff I would need. This time I just had a wonderful time with the family without having to think about tobacco at all. This is because with all the support from them and here with KTC I am quit. We had a great time at Disneyland and driving the coast. Thank you brothers and sisters for posting and support

I live on the same coast as you. I think that is so awesome that you had a good quit 10 day holiday with your family. I'm looking forward to feeling good enough to do that. Congrats on 100 days!

Oh wow this last Friday night I had the most intense dip dream ever. It felt so real that during the dream I felt so bad for dipping that I was wondering what I was going to say to all my brothers and sisters out about my cave. However when I woke up I realized it was all a dream but it did shake me a little that I went to the bathroom and checked my teeth and gums to be sure. I also immediately texted my bro DaBean and let him know I was still quit NAFAR!. This is as far as I have ever been quit in a whole lot of years and I am staying strong but WOW that ol' Nic Witch sure snuck up into my dreams the other night. Thanks bros for your support and this does strengthen my quit and my resolve to stay quit. If the Nic Witch can't get to me in the real world and I can stay strong in the dream would I know I'm doing something right.

However when I woke up I realized it was all a dream but it did shake me a little that I went to the bathroom and checked my teeth and gums to be sure. I also immediately texted my bro DaBean and let him know I was still quit NAFAR!. This is as far as I have ever been quit in a whole lot of years and I am staying strong but WOW that ol' Nic Witch sure snuck up into my dreams the other night. Thanks bros for your support and this does strengthen my quit and my resolve to stay quit. If the Nic Witch can't get to me in the real world and I can stay strong in the dream would I know I'm doing something right.
I figured it out ... when I'm bone ass tired the dip dreams come. Last night after working my ass off decorating my house for Christmas (After watching my Raiders fall once again) I went to be and fell asleep hard and sure enough I got a dip dream. It didn't bug me this time at all. I knew it was a dream the entire time. Funny how the brain works. I just laughed at myself and had a beer. I am really starting to love this being quit ... knowing I have to keep my promise daily and staying accountable is the best Christmas present I have given myself. ODAAT NAFAR keep me strong. Hangin' in with my KTC Bros and sis's

Well my hard work decorating the house paid off. The Kolar family won first place in our neighborhood decorating contest. So it was well worth the dip dream. Merry Christmas to you all.

Well having to work Christmas eve and Christmas with on one else around gave me lots of time to think. We all know that when BearHawk thinks it isn't always a good thing. So well I was thinking about how I'm not such a Asshole now that I've quit nicotine and I was wondering why that was. So it occurred to me that when you are so hooked on nic you spend over half your time on the verge of withdrawal and so you spend over half your time being an asshole. Think about it ... if you were like me and had a dip in your mouth all day long you were either thinking of your next fresh dip; then your can was running low so you were thinking about getting that next can and shit if you ran out before you got that can, heave help the people standing in the way. Then only time you are truly feeling good is when you opened that fresh can and took that fresh dip, everything else was about getting to the next one.
So at any rate this Christmas was awesome not having tobacco juice running down my chin as we opened our gifts. The only time I thought about snuff was when I was posting that I wouldn't use. I'm even going through the days without chewing gum at all or with just one or two sticks. I have never felt more quit. That is not to say that I have a thought that I am cured. Oh hell no. I know that I will always be a drooling snuff fiend. These are the times I know I need to be here the most.
I was reading here the other day and this ass wipe was saying that we who post daily are self-centered ass holes and I guess in a way he is right. I am centered on my quit and coming here is all about me staying quit so in a way in is all about me. But then of course the shit bag was all wrong too. I stay here and stay quit to encourage others to do the same and be just like me and the thousands of others who stay quit for life.
Reading the upcoming events and I see brothers who have been quit for 8 years and I think because of them I am going to stay here that long and I am going to stay here so other newbies can see how it goes, step by step, me at 134 days and the next guy at 200 and there is a sister at one year and then there are bothers at 1000 days and so on. Man this place amazes me and I am all for the power of quit.

I'll be more than happy to be called a self centered asshole for posting roll every day and expecting everyone else to do so as well.
See you at roll in the morning.

me as well. If I am physically able, I will post roll, I will be quit. If I am not physically able I will ask someone politely to post for me and I will be quit. If I am not mentally able, well then I don't think it really matters. As long as I can be a self centered, roll-posting asshole, I will be. Thanks to KTC and all you fine people before me that keeps me quit.

Call me self centered, call me an asshole, call me anything but late to supper and I'm gonna be almost alright with that as long as I stay quit. Fuck a bunch of weak willed and weak minded dumbasses who think they can lick the nic bitch on their own. I tried that a lot of times and it didn't work. So call me a man in need of a crutch ... that's damn right and that crutch is KTC and posting role.
Way to go my brothers. Keep the quit strong, no caves!

Hey, not a crutch man. you just realized that you needed something additional to help, and that help came in the form of us whacked out personnel. 'Crazy'
So it is very wise that you came to the right decision....and never forget it....or never discount it....
I stand beside you today, so lets continue to quit.

This is the first NIC free New YEARS I can recall in forever. 140 days and still counting on my way up to the second floor. I never was one to make resolutions so I didn't have to add to the other lies by saying I was going to quit. But now that I am really quit I will make a resolution. I resolve the I will stay quit for 2014 and make it to day 505 for the next new year. I also resolve to be more active in helping other get quit and stay quit. HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my crazy whacked out nuts and side ways friends here at KTC.

So last weekend I went out and did my favorite redneck pass time ... I went to MONSTER JAM. Now I come from Texas as you all know but I now live in Chula Vista CA south of San Diego. The event is held in the football stadium and you would be surprised at how many rednecks there are here in SOCAL. We had that stadium near full.
This is the first time since I quit that I was out there with all those rowdy people without a dip. You know what? It didn't bother me at all to not spit gobs of tobacco spit on the ground under my seat or have a spit bottle. I completely enjoyed the night and didn't crave a dip at all.
I know I'm not cured of my addiction but there is one thing I am ... I am quit. I am not a quitter ... I am quit. I'll be here posting forever and I will always know I am an addict but after 162 days I can say for certain I am QLF NAFAR and feel confident that with the support of my brothers I will never dip again.
At the start I was keeping a quit log and writing in it a lot. I haven't even thought about it since new years. The nic bitch has been kicked to the curb and I don't even think of tobacco at all now. I come here and post and I'm here if anyone needs my support. I'm not craving at all any more and I laughed about my last dip dream. Thanks KTC, Thanks Brothers and Sisters.

As my daughter would says HOLY WOW ... 6 months nicotine free; who would have thought that hanging out with a bunch of nut cases would have gotten me to be nic free for 6 months. Let me tell you back at day 1 I wouldn't have thought it possible to honestly be quit this long and now I have a whole new outlook and I know for certain as long as I keep hanging here with all you mad nut jobs I'm going to remain nic free.
Thank you all for hangin' with me and letting me help y'all along too.
Hang Loose bros ... oh and sis' too.

I really do hate the drama of this site. You hear people talk about it's your quit, ever quit is different and shit like that but then when someone feels they are ready to face the world and not post every day they all go ape shit. Hey just because some one leaves or takes a break or just slows down their posting doesn't mean they will fail. I feel I need to stay here a while but that doesn't mean I will stay here forever. I may be her a year or five or 10 or I may just opt out next week. It is my quit and I feel that I should stay right now and keep supporting others and being supported by others. It's my quit so stay the fuck out of it. I will be proud to post 200 days and post 300 days and post 365 days. And when I feel I don't need to post daily I will slow down. When I feel somewhere down the road I don't need to post at all any more I won't. One thing I have learned here over the last 191 day is don't tell anyone your intensions ... OH MY GOD ... then the losers come out of the closest and start hating on you. Hey if you are one of those who need this site for the rest of your life more power to you but stop hating on those who move on with their lives. I am stay quit and stay here ... for now. Thank you my friends and my brothers and thank you to all you others who may be hating right now. You are all part of my quit and I will always be thankful for that. But to the haters of my brothers 'Finger'

Guess I either missed the drama you are talking about or we have very different definitions of hate...
One of the cornerstones of this site is peer accountability. When someone who has been so active on the board posts addict babble, it should get called out. Everyone here has a different style (and some I'm not fond of), but in my book they are all trying to do the same thing. Hold the quitter accountable.
At least for me the issue isn't about leaving the site, its about the addict babble excuses as to why. Good on you for defending your brother, but don't be blinded by loyalty and allow addict behaviors and words to be acceptable.

I believe that the majority of the messages being conveyed yesterday were just that calling him out on the verbiage he was using and asking if he was ok. Most of the talk yesterday was corrective you can't make blanket statements and not expect to have your ass bit especially when stating that you take your quit more seriously than others. That will get fur raised. Also you don't know what may or may not have happened in the background. There were many people here that recognized the behavior and pointed out that he is hurting fogged out or in a bad funk. You may ask LHG how many texts she received yesterday in reference to her brother. Also like I stated yesterday this site is a flick of the switch and its gone no need for swan songs or drama. I do agree its your quit but history has repeated time and time again when brothers/sisters drift from the site they are throating the bitch as soon as they leave the door open. I hate bringing LHG up again but did you read her post in her brothers thread. She said she saw a huge amount of support and not a dog pile.
I know it perspective and perspective is each one of our realities but I don't think it was terrible. If the thread is really examined there are tons of lessons be taught for free just have to read it objectively.

I think some of the drama you hate may have been brought about by the long, "look at me" swan song.
"Haters"...seems to be the new buzzword nowadays, and a reason to "go".
What exactly is a "hater"? one who disagrees with another and expresses it in a way that they or those close to them don't like, because the words are harsh?
I always thought a "hater" was someone who was jealous of something others had, that they did not. Like if I rolled up in a Lamborghini and said, "check out my new ride" and then someone said, "whatever, that things ugly, did your Daddy buy it for you? What, you think you're gonna be a chick magnet now? and what if you wanted to get 4 people in it? And what good will it be in the winter??? You live in MICHIGAN. Nice dropping a ton of cheddar on a car you can only use half the year, you could have bought three nice cars for that money, or should I say your Daddy could have". That person to me would be a "hater".
Is that what's going on here, we are all jealous of Dabean and his ability after 200 days to go at this alone? Do we all wish we were big and bad like Dabean and that's why we are lashing out at him, or "hating" as you call it?
Gotta tell ya, I read his intro from word one. Not a a lot of hate in there, in fact I saw a ton of love, support, and respect...on both ends.
And I think it's still there.
People just don't want to see him fail, and nobody has wished it on him. However, people who have been here a long time have seen this move before, and it doesn't always end well. I think that is why there is so much uproar. People care about Dabean and THINK not HOPE he's making a mistake, and they are telling him about it. Not because they are hating, but because they care.

Is that what's going on here, we are all jealous of Dabean and his ability after 200 days to go at this alone? Do we all wish we were big and bad like Dabean and that's why we are lashing out at him, or "hating" as you call it?
Gotta tell ya, I read his intro from word one. Not a a lot of hate in there, in fact I saw a ton of love, support, and respect...on both ends.
And I think it's still there.
People just don't want to see him fail, and nobody has wished it on him. However, people who have been here a long time have seen this move before, and it doesn't always end well. I think that is why there is so much uproar. People care about Dabean and THINK not HOPE he's making a mistake, and they are telling him about it. Not because they are hating, but because they care.
I don't even like this Keyboard cowboy ^^^ but he is spot on.

I really do hate the drama of this site. You hear people talk about it's your quit, ever quit is different and shit like that but then when someone feels they are ready to face the world and not post every day they all go ape shit. Hey just because some one leaves or takes a break or just slows down their posting doesn't mean they will fail. I feel I need to stay here a while but that doesn't mean I will stay here forever. I may be her a year or five or 10 or I may just opt out next week. It is my quit and I feel that I should stay right now and keep supporting others and being supported by others. It's my quit so stay the fuck out of it. I will be proud to post 200 days and post 300 days and post 365 days. And when I feel I don't need to post daily I will slow down. When I feel somewhere down the road I don't need to post at all any more I won't. One thing I have learned here over the last 191 day is don't tell anyone your intensions ... OH MY GOD ... then the losers come out of the closest and start hating on you. Hey if you are one of those who need this site for the rest of your life more power to you but stop hating on those who move on with their lives. I am stay quit and stay here ... for now. Thank you my friends and my brothers and thank you to all you others who may be hating right now. You are all part of my quit and I will always be thankful for that. But to the haters of my brothers 'Finger'
I think some of the drama you hate may have been brought about by the long, "look at me" swan song.
"Haters"...seems to be the new buzzword nowadays, and a reason to "go".
What exactly is a "hater"? one who disagrees with another and expresses it in a way that they or those close to them don't like, because the words are harsh?
I always thought a "hater" was someone who was jealous of something others had, that they did not. Like if I rolled up in a Lamborghini and said, "check out my new ride" and then someone said, "whatever, that things ugly, did your Daddy buy it for you? What, you think you're gonna be a chick magnet now? and what if you wanted to get 4 people in it? And what good will it be in the winter??? You live in MICHIGAN. Nice dropping a ton of cheddar on a car you can only use half the year, you could have bought three nice cars for that money, or should I say your Daddy could have". That person to me would be a "hater".

Holding the quitter accountable ... I like the thought of that. Backing up a friend and making him a brother or a sister ... that is a very high Ideal. I reach out to any man or woman who wants to quit and stay quit and I will help them along in any way I can. I have an will continue to recommend this site to friends and anyone else I see that wants to quit. I proudly tell them all I am 192 days quit and I tell them why.
What I will not do is dump a bucket of shit on my brother or sister just because they don't think or feel the same way I do or the way others do. I spent 20 years defending the constitution of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA and I can not tolerate people who think because they have an idea of how things should be, that they have a right to step on other people.
The only person I am truly accountable to is me. They only person I am out to try to impress is my LORD and SAVIOR JESUS.
I've went back and looked over the old timers and I can see that there are a whole lot of you all still around and posting daily. NOT. If you can't deal with life with out nicotine without this site then I am all for supporting you for life. But there are some people who after a time don't need the meetings every day, there are people that can keep their quit on with meeting just once in awhile.
Just let the brothers and sisters live their lives.

This declaration is a half truth. What's missing? I submitt the fact that there isn't a cure. Addicts need daily treatment. Remember that....especially when you are feeling great!

No one has said that at all...what people have said is that they recognize the language that was being used by Dabean as someone who wanted to quit coming to KTC as consistent with a person laying the groundwork for a planned cave. The over all message that was being conveyed to him was that, it does not sound like a good idea to leave. The other message that was sent was, is this a cry for help? You sound like you are hurting or in a horrible funk. A third message that was sent was if he was not hurting then just leave no need for a grand exit...like from behind the candelabra style.
Sometimes when you care about someone you have to be that person to disagree with their stance. Especially with something as serious as battling addiction. There is no shortcut. No one said you cant leave here what they said was that it is probably not a good idea and if you do leave just go.

Bearhawk, you are missing the point of why everyone jumped in. People are free to choose to be here or not. People are free to live their lives. But when a dedicated quitter writes a 1/2 page farewell speech with addict-speak justifications most of us see that as a cry for help.
Of course people can quit on their own. But the vast majority of us at KTC could not. We needed the peer accountability. That is why we are here. Re-read what dabean wrote and forget for a second who wrote it.

OK so as long as you don't write a good by speech then its ok to move on. I get it. If you miss a day or two then it's all cool. Hey I'm good ... I am going to keep in contact with dabean and he and I will keep our quit on. I am staying here ... for now ... to keep the quit real.

Tomorrow I reach that second floor, you want to know what that means to me? It means I am high up now and I am beginning to see further into the future as a brother who is truly quit. I can see clearer too. The nic bitch isn't clouding my mind anymore. I know I'm an addict and I will never be a normal person but I can sure feel normal and act normal. With that exception of like the other day I as at the auto shop buying oil for my old POS and I did look a bit to long at the snuff rack behind the counter, but I didn't for a minute think of buying a can. Thank you, you bunch of A--holes for getting me here to this point. Now it's on to the 3rd floor and with that the ability to see even farther.

Man, you get it and the days stack up quick. I've saved enough dough to buy about a hundred cases of Shell 5w30 (conventional). When I look at the poison rack, it's to check the price so my tally is accurate. That daily promise keeps us undefeated. High five over the nic bitch's back today, bro. If things work out, chances are pretty good I'll quit with you tomorrow, too.

I spent some time going back over and reading items in the quit groups and in other sections and I get why a lot of people just don't stay here. Now I am a trained observer and after 20 years in the military and 15 in the Security Business the harsh and harassing way the brothers here treat people who don't fall in line exactly like they want them too really turns people off. If this site hadn't helped keep me quit so well and because I don't give a flying rats ass how dick cheeses think I should think I would have left back too.
But you know what I quit on my terms and for right now at this point in my quit I am staying here ... not because I feel I have to but because I want to. I made a commitment to myself and I am going to hang in. There is a lot going on in my life right now and I am not going to loose my cool if I slip up and miss a post; it won't toss me off the train and make me dip.
But one day ... down the tracks a ways I will be ready to face life without posting daily, or weekly or even at all. And you know what ... I won't feel bad about it.
BTW - Congratulations to all my brothers who have gone before me and those who are following me on keep your quit strong.

I don't get your anti-KTC vibe and what your trying to achieve with your comments. You are not helping anyone quit.
You have been quit 200+ days and only have 255 posts. If you want to be helpful, then why don't you jump in and try helping others. Show everyone how it is done. With all your years of experience it sounds like you could be helpful if you wanted to pay it forward. From what I can see you have done very little of that since you joined. It looks like you just like to sit out and throw pot shots at those who are actually trying to help the newbies quit. Just so I am clear, I am not being sarcastic here at all or trying to be an ass... I am dead serious. Start paying it forward. That is how this place works. You could help someone find their freedom!
The reason people most people leave is because they cave can't break free from their enslavement to nicotine. Most go back to using! I am sure others leave and stay quit. That is great if that works for them. Saying that they leave because they are treated poorly is a "caver" BS reason.
People respond to different methods of encouragement, support and talk. What works for some will not work for others. It takes a wide array of personalities to support a wide array of personalities. You are not going to like what everyone has to say this site is not designed for you to like what EVERYONE has to say. Some people respond to getting yelled at and others close down. Others need a softer approach. That is why we tell everyone... take what you need and leave the rest.
There is a method to KTC and people need to fall in line if they choose to quit this way. Like it or not.... that is what saved you. You need to work your quit every day. You are an addict and you can never have just one. We post roll every day and stay quit for that day. We support each other as best we can. Anything short of that should not be applauded. If people can't deal with that then they need to leave and quit somewhere else.
KTC is not broke. The KTC way works if you choose to use it.
No one is telling Bearhawk he needs to stay here the rest of his life. You can leave whenever you want. But I'd like to see you stay and save a few folks from their addiction to this evil poison. How does that sound?

I hear what you are saying BearHawk. Some may not need this site forever no one has said that you have to stay here forever but the way I see it and yes this is my own opinion what does it hurt to come here everyday and post my name and say I will not use. It also doesn't hurt to post with others. It also doesn't hurt to post in a few threads. I have said things in some threads that I had forgotten all about and thought it didn't really make an impact but I have gotten PM's later that said thank you. I say thank you to them for allowing me to take part in their quits. In my opinion again the time I spend here is but a fraction of time that I used to spend killing myself.
I am eternally grateful that I found KTC I have been here everyday for 332 days and I plan to stay here for awhile. I was picked up when I got here by people that were just a little bit ahead of me and people who had been here for a long time point is that is the pay it forward and back. I have stayed here because all other attempts to quit were unsuccessful they were stoppages. You quit only once. I was met with different personalities some soft some hard but I needed it. I knew these people here were not going to give me a pass and I knew I had found my home.
As for you BearHawk you have a lot of time in the military and experiences I would like to see you share your knowledge and pay it forward and back. You know structure you know subculture you were from a subculture and you know each one has its own customs and courtesies. I would like to see you put it all out there and take a new scared, fogged out their gourd quitter under your wing and stay with them from day one until they hit the hall and who knows beyond. I think that would give you a different perspective on what KTC is.

No one is telling Bearhawk he needs to stay here the rest of his life. You can leave whenever you want. But I'd like to see you stay and save a few folks from their addiction to this evil poison. How does that sound?
I hear what you are saying BearHawk. Some may not need this site forever no one has said that you have to stay here forever but the way I see it and yes this is my own opinion what does it hurt to come here everyday and post my name and say I will not use. It also doesn't hurt to post with others. It also doesn't hurt to post in a few threads. I have said things in some threads that I had forgotten all about and thought it didn't really make an impact but I have gotten PM's later that said thank you. I say thank you to them for allowing me to take part in their quits. In my opinion again the time I spend here is but a fraction of time that I used to spend killing myself.
I am eternally grateful that I found KTC I have been here everyday for 332 days and I plan to stay here for awhile. I was picked up when I got here by people that were just a little bit ahead of me and people who had been here for a long time point is that is the pay it forward and back. I have stayed here because all other attempts to quit were unsuccessful they were stoppages. You quit only once. I was met with different personalities some soft some hard but I needed it. I knew these people here were not going to give me a pass and I knew I had found my home.
As for you BearHawk you have a lot of time in the military and experiences I would like to see you share your knowledge and pay it forward and back. You know structure you know subculture you were from a subculture and you know each one has its own customs and courtesies. I would like to see you put it all out there and take a new scared, fogged out their gourd quitter under your wing and stay with them from day one until they hit the hall and who knows beyond. I think that would give you a different perspective on what KTC is.
"I was reading here the other day and this ass wipe was saying that we who post daily are self-centered ass holes and I guess in a way he is right. I am centered on my quit and coming here is all about me staying quit so in a way in is all about me. But then of course the shit bag was all wrong too. I stay here and stay quit to encourage others to do the same and be just like me and the thousands of others who stay quit for life.
Reading the upcoming events and I see brothers who have been quit for 8 years and I think because of them I am going to stay here that long and I am going to stay here so other newbies can see how it goes, step by step, me at 134 days and the next guy at 200 and there is a sister at one year and then there are bothers at 1000 days and so on. Man this place amazes me and I am all for the power of quit. "
YOU wrote this a few months ago here on this wall. I like this attitude better. You were positive. Something has happened lately. The only posts I see from you are ones talking down on KTC. You are free to have your own opinion, but if you are upset because of an offense here, then try to look past that offense and remember all the good you have seen here as well. I think you have some good relationships. Make some new ones. It may help you as much as a new guy.

I spent some time going back over and reading items in the quit groups and in other sections and I get why a lot of people just don't stay here. Now I am a trained observer and after 20 years in the military and 15 in the Security Business the harsh and harassing way the brothers here treat people who don't fall in line exactly like they want them too really turns people off. If this site hadn't helped keep me quit so well and because I don't give a flying rats ass how dick cheeses think I should think I would have left back too.Â
But you know what I quit on my terms and for right now at this point in my quit I am staying here ... not because I feel I have to but because I want to. I made a commitment to myself and I am going to hang in. There is a lot going on in my life right now and I am not going to loose my cool if I slip up and miss a post; it won't toss me off the train and make me dip.Â
But one day ... down the tracks a ways I will be ready to face life without posting daily, or weekly or even at all. And you know what ... I won't feel bad about it.
BTW - Congratulations to all my brothers who have gone before me and those who are following me on keep your quit strong.
I don't get your anti-KTC vibe and what your trying to achieve with your comments. You are not helping anyone quit.
You have been quit 200+ days and only have 255 posts. If you want to be helpful, then why don't you jump in and try helping others. Show everyone how it is done. With all your years of experience it sounds like you could be helpful if you wanted to pay it forward. From what I can see you have done very little of that since you joined. It looks like you just like to sit out and throw pot shots at those who are actually trying to help the newbies quit. Just so I am clear, I am not being sarcastic here at all or trying to be an ass... I am dead serious. Start paying it forward. That is how this place works. You could help someone find their freedom!
The reason people most people leave is because they cave can't break free from their enslavement to nicotine. Most go back to using! I am sure others leave and stay quit. That is great if that works for them. Saying that they leave because they are treated poorly is a "caver" BS reason.
People respond to different methods of encouragement, support and talk. What works for some will not work for others. It takes a wide array of personalities to support a wide array of personalities. You are not going to like what everyone has to say this site is not designed for you to like what EVERYONE has to say. Some people respond to getting yelled at and others close down. Others need a softer approach. That is why we tell everyone... take what you need and leave the rest.
There is a method to KTC and people need to fall in line if they choose to quit this way. Like it or not.... that is what saved you. You need to work your quit every day. You are an addict and you can never have just one. We post roll every day and stay quit for that day. We support each other as best we can. Anything short of that should not be applauded. If people can't deal with that then they need to leave and quit somewhere else.
KTC is not broke. The KTC way works if you choose to use it.

Or what u trying to have a swan song like ur buddies.

I think you mentioned drama a while back somewhere. Don't feel like looking it up. Seems to me your the chief. Just saying!
Would be nice to see you try and help someone for a change.

The reason people most people leave is because they cave can't break free from their enslavement to nicotine. Most go back to using! I am sure others leave and stay quit. That is great if that works for them. Saying that they leave because they are treated poorly is a "caver" BS reason.
People respond to different methods of encouragement, support and talk. What works for some will not work for others. It takes a wide array of personalities to support a wide array of personalities. You are not going to like what everyone has to say this site is not designed for you to like what EVERYONE has to say. Some people respond to getting yelled at and others close down. Others need a softer approach. That is why we tell everyone... take what you need and leave the rest.
There is a method to KTC and people need to fall in line if they choose to quit this way. Like it or not.... that is what saved you. You need to work your quit every day. You are an addict and you can never have just one. We post roll every day and stay quit for that day. We support each other as best we can. Anything short of that should not be applauded. If people can't deal with that then they need to leave and quit somewhere else.
KTC is not broke. The KTC way works if you choose to use it.
No one is telling Bearhawk he needs to stay here the rest of his life. You can leave whenever you want. But I'd like to see you stay and save a few folks from their addiction to this evil poison. How does that sound?
I hear what you are saying BearHawk. Some may not need this site forever no one has said that you have to stay here forever but the way I see it and yes this is my own opinion what does it hurt to come here everyday and post my name and say I will not use. It also doesn't hurt to post with others. It also doesn't hurt to post in a few threads. I have said things in some threads that I had forgotten all about and thought it didn't really make an impact but I have gotten PM's later that said thank you. I say thank you to them for allowing me to take part in their quits. In my opinion again the time I spend here is but a fraction of time that I used to spend killing myself.
I am eternally grateful that I found KTC I have been here everyday for 332 days and I plan to stay here for awhile. I was picked up when I got here by people that were just a little bit ahead of me and people who had been here for a long time point is that is the pay it forward and back. I have stayed here because all other attempts to quit were unsuccessful they were stoppages. You quit only once. I was met with different personalities some soft some hard but I needed it. I knew these people here were not going to give me a pass and I knew I had found my home.
As for you BearHawk you have a lot of time in the military and experiences I would like to see you share your knowledge and pay it forward and back. You know structure you know subculture you were from a subculture and you know each one has its own customs and courtesies. I would like to see you put it all out there and take a new scared, fogged out their gourd quitter under your wing and stay with them from day one until they hit the hall and who knows beyond. I think that would give you a different perspective on what KTC is.
"I was reading here the other day and this ass wipe was saying that we who post daily are self-centered ass holes and I guess in a way he is right. I am centered on my quit and coming here is all about me staying quit so in a way in is all about me. But then of course the shit bag was all wrong too. I stay here and stay quit to encourage others to do the same and be just like me and the thousands of others who stay quit for life.
Reading the upcoming events and I see brothers who have been quit for 8 years and I think because of them I am going to stay here that long and I am going to stay here so other newbies can see how it goes, step by step, me at 134 days and the next guy at 200 and there is a sister at one year and then there are bothers at 1000 days and so on. Man this place amazes me and I am all for the power of quit. "
YOU wrote this a few months ago here on this wall. I like this attitude better. You were positive. Something has happened lately. The only posts I see from you are ones talking down on KTC. You are free to have your own opinion, but if you are upset because of an offense here, then try to look past that offense and remember all the good you have seen here as well. I think you have some good relationships. Make some new ones. It may help you as much as a new guy.
Boy, the past can come back to haunt in many ways. Good find, Jake.
Just how I thought it would turn out. I ran the test and the results are confirmed. Thank you all so much for those wonderful words of wisdom. I am taking them to heart.
I went to pm with you and I feel I got just as much Sarcasm as your post. Not sure what these tests are you are conducting but what I will tell you is that if this is just some game for you knock it off I am investing time w you because u are military we share two brotherhoods so if you're being an attention whore knock it off grow up n pay it forward. Or what u trying to have a swan song like ur buddies.
I think you mentioned drama a while back somewhere. Don't feel like looking it up. Seems to me your the chief. Just saying!
Would be nice to see you try and help someone for a change.
I'm still a 74 day newbie but I smell someone looking for a reason to blame KTC drama for a cave! Call it a test or whatever, here's some more confirmation for you, we are not giving you permission to drop a turd in your lip!

Not caving, Staying strong in my quit. This is one proven crazy group of Brethren. At any rate ... So I am going to be working as the head cook on a men's spiritual growth weekend at the end of this coming week (Friday through Sunday) and I will be mostly without any sort of communications. I do plan if at all possible to post via text if I can but just in case any of you out there think that I am caving or not posting for any other reason don't even go there. I am staying quit with all of you and if I am not able to post believe me I will be thinking about it and keeping quit with all of you.
For those of you that think I am looking for a reason to cave or leave this site you are so totally wrong. I am an addict and the one thing I have learned over the last 220 days of quit is that I don't need an excuse ... I have any intention of going back to snuff I will come right out and tell you all that I suck and I am caving.
If I am away this upcoming weekend it is because I a doing work for God and my Lord and serving others and not because I am caving.

Had a great retreat weekend serving my brothers in Christ. I thank my Brother DaBean for his never ending support here at KTC. I thank all you other brothers who thought that I was trying to find reasons for failing because it just lets me know how I have to keep my quit strong with just a couple real brothers and most of all with my Lord.
Here's to the strong quit brothers!

So I wake up this morning on day 232 and what is the first thing I think of? Ya I think of taking a dip. It wasn't a craving, just an old thought like back 233 days ago but it was so funny. My second thought of course was hell no and I went on about my day. It just reminds me that no matter what I am an addict and I will be fighting this for a long time to come. So instead of supporting big tobacco companies I am now supporting Trident Gum.
I wonder if it had anything to do with the fact that my youngest daughter up and went and got married yesterday? Oh well life goes on. I sure ain't gonna let life's little stresses get me down or make me go back to tobacco. There are people out there who have it way worse than me.

Wow I had a rough last few days and yesterday I was in the Mini NEX store on the Naval Base (For those who don't know I am Retired Navy) and I was looking hard at the snuff and seeing just how cheap it is on base and for just a brief moment I thought man a dip sure would go good with a shot of the Devil's Cut right about now. Then again my second thought was to kick myself in the ass for thinking that ... about the snuff, not about the whiskey ... and then I just shook my head smiled and when the lady asked me if there would be anything else I told her nope and left without buying snuff or taking a dip.

victory, whether large or small, count it, celebrate it, remember it....and learn from it so you know that you can do it again.
nice job.

I was giving my bedroom a spring cleaning and found a lot of old empty cans of snuff behind the dresser. It was mind boggling how I had to open an empty can and take a whiff. Thank God Almighty that once I smelled that dried out old stank I immediately closed the can and shoved all those empties in a garbage bag. Man that shit stanks. I wonder often on how I did that for so many years and how my wife ever put up with that stank.

So here I am approaching 300 days and I feel like I am approaching normal. Truth is I am sticking with this group but there are times that I could go days without a thought of snuff or tobacco or nicotine if it weren't for coming here to post. I know I will never be normal, I know I am an addict and will never completely beat this thing ... but there are time I think to myself if it wasn't for my promise ... OK at any rate it is keeping me honest and I am very proud of myself for coming up on 300 days nic free and I find myself fighting to not be an ass to those who are smoking or dipping. I have become critical of those damn stop smoking commercials where they say I'm X number of days quit and they are still using the patch, gum or some other nic replacement. I yell until you are with out nic you are still not quit! That sounds so damn hypocritical to me. How many times did I try before getting here. I need to stop being an ass. Oh well I have had good days and bad days and I am still quit.
This coming week I have some VIP's coming to the job, I promise to not dip all week even if I miss a day of posting because of work. I will be back here and I will not dip or take nic in any form.

I think its normal to want to leave and run solo, But I think it's A sign of maturity and wisdom to stay with your lifeline anyway(KTC). We all have those thoughts. Id rather be safe and post my promise with my brothers, then take a chance and ride alone. Besides.... Don't fix what isn't broken!
Congrats on the upcoming 300. I know you have had your struggles and its a hell of an accomplishment.

300 days past and now heading for 365. At times it has seemed like a really long time; mostly from day one to day 100. Now a year is just around the next corner and I'm very proud of myself and all my brothers who have done it with me. It is unfortunate that so many of them faded away and I know that most of them have most likely caved. BUT I know a few who have moved along and that have not caved, one in particular is my Brother Dabean who keeps me honest and keeps posting for me on weekends when I can't get to a computer and my phone is only smart enough to text him. LOL. Thank you Big Brother. It's been almost a year and I will always clearly recall the utter disgust that I had for myself the day I quit and I now I feel very proud that I am a true quitter now. No doubts. Keeping it real and keeping it strong QLFEDD!

So I live in San Diego County and I have been here since the 80's. Yesterday a man who meant a lot to the City and to San Diego Sports died from salivary cancer. Mr. Tony Gwynn who exactly may age 54 years old died because he chewed tobacco. This really hits home and I am so glad that I quit dipping 308 days ago. My family thanked me again yesterday for quitting. It just brings it all heart when someone you looked up to and respected dies like that. I can remember 15 years ago taking my family to spring training to see the Padre's and my youngest daughter who was 5 at the time was a huge Tony Gwynn fan. I had her on my shoulders when the team finished practicing and I walked over to the crowd to get her an autograph. Tony seeing me with my girl in the back of the crowd waiting my turn stopped signing and pointed to me and had me come up front where he signed our program. He told everyone that this is what it is all about, family and the young fans. I will never forget all that Tony meant to the city of San Diego. And I will add this to the reasons I stay quit.

Well done Bear, I thank you for your service and congratulate you on what you have accomplished here so far.
You should feel a huge sense of pride for getting to where you are, as there are few others that have reached these heights. just never forget where you have come from, and never forget how you got here.

So my family took me out last night to celebrate my one year mark. They took me to Hodad's in Ocean Beach and ... well ... the place is hard to describe unless you know the beach / surf culture. It is a Burger Dive which was featured on Triple D. Anyway the place rocks and they tout the greatest burgers in the world. Well maybe ... but the place Guido was awesome for certain. The best part of the night was when they all lifted their burgers and saluted my one year dip free. Now no one can say I don't have one great family.
For those of you out there just getting started hang in there bros and sis' because it gets better day by day

Congrats BH an excellent achievement for sure.

Anyplace that has 3 wines... "Red, white, pink" on the menu gets a thumbs up on the 3D rating. Those onion rings are making me drool.
Dude, the post that you typed... Just the vision of your family showing their pride in such a symbolic manner... That by itself makes all of the bulldhit you went through worth it. And that is just the icing in the cake! Proud as hell to quit with you!

Holy Crap - I was driving to work today and it just hit me ... I am living out the true redneck life. I just had to laugh at myself as I thought about what is going on in my life. Thank God I quit dipping a year ago or I'd have a face full of snuff right now. My youngest daughter who is just 19 got married less than 6 months ago ... guess what? That's right she is getting a Divorce and has moved back home. My son ... he has been out of work for months and yep he is living at home too. My eldest daughter is going to college so it is understandable that she is living at home. I have one busted ass car in the driveway and one what is about to shit the bed and I don't have the money to fix them. I'm living the dream! But there is some bright lights there too. At least my youngest daughter isn't pregnant. My son's car is working good. I have a job that I am starting to hate but at least it pays the bills. And you know what? I still ain't dipping and I have decided it isn't a good idea if I drink right now either so I don't go off and do something really bad. SO Thank God for his support in my Redneck life in Southern California. I hope Jeff Foxworthy doesn't get wind of my life or He'll have more fodder for his jokes. LOL LMAO :)

Nearing 500 days quit; I haven't written in here since I was at 365, been a while. I don't think of snuff very much but upon occasion I still get the occasional hint about it. Just the other day as I was setting up the Christmas decorations I thought about it briefly about how I used to take a good pinch when I would do things like this but I just took a stick of gum and when on without a worry. Being an addict does have one good point, once you break the cycle of addiction and refocus on the positive you become addicted to what is right and you can move forward in a most positive way.
Since I quit I do not have much reason to frequent the stores where I would buy my snuff; again a few days ago I was walking my dogs past the store and decided I really wanted a bag of chips (Plain Kettle Cooked). Now I gained a lot of weight while quitting and I have been on the right track lately having lost 10 pounds, so I stopped into the store while on my walk. The clerk was really surprised to see me having thought I had moved away. I explained to her that I had quit tobacco and she was very happy for me.
The one said part of all this is seeing my November 2013 group dwindle down to just 4 of us. I only have contact with one of those who left and he is still quit, but I don't know about the others and I wonder how many of them went back to the nicotine? But I am very proud that I am still here and still quit. I am a very solitary guy and I'm not very out going. I have reached out a few time to others here and they have also went to the way side, but I figure its my quit so I will keep on with the quit. One day I may just wake up and not want to post any more. I have had those feeling a few time but have realized that I still need to come here and post and see how others are doing. One day someone out there will need to hear what I have to say and I will be here.
I doesn't seem all that long ago that I was sitting in my car feeling really disgusted with myself and tossed out that last dip back on August 14th 2013 but here it is almost 2015. It hasn't been all that bad really. I want to wish every one out there a very Merry Christmas and a very positive and prosperous New Year. To Construction, Midwest and Mike I feel a great tie with you as we have stuck together and made it to 500, Next step is 1000.

Hey Mike it is great to be this far with you and all the remaining November Quitters. Thank you for being part of my quit.

Wow I decided to go back down the line on the November 2013 Sky Divers and it is just so amazing how many brothers and sisters have just gone away. I I remember a lot of them and remember how some of them caved and how some lied. Now we are down to the Four Horsemen but at least some of us are keeping the faith. Memory lane is funny though.

It takes a strong guy, or gal, to be able to beat this for sure. No more successful way to quit right here, yet the stats odds still aren't good. Keep the faith brother you're winning!

So 700 days come Tuesday ... I remember the day I quit and it seems like not so long ago. Back then I really didn't think I would make it. Now I know I will never go back. NAFAR Who'd a thunk after near 40 years of dipping I'd find a group of fellow hard cases to help me finally kick that ol' nic bitch in the ass. Great days bros. ? Chillin' ? Costal

Congrats on 2 years if hard work BearHawk!

My friends and brothers thank you for all the support over these 2 years. We started a tradition in my family of celebrating the yearly mark with hitting a great burger joint. Last year we went to Hodads and this year we went to Slater's 50/50. I have lost 16 pounds on my diet thus far and I think that burger may have given me half that back. ? Great food and friends and beer. Had a great night. I wouldn't be celebrating if it weren't for all you guys helping me get here. 'archer'

Congrats Bearhawk, two years is an awesome accomplishment. The weight loss is also fantastic, every now and then you gotta cheat and that burger sounds like the great way to do just that. Glad to see that your whole family is behind you and celebrating that great milestone with you.

So there I was sitting at my desk eating lunch and working on my paperwork when a crumb of bread shoots down the wrong pipe. I start coughing and as I reach for my coffee mug I pass clean out. BAM! I wake up on the floor wondering etc. As I roll over on my left side I find a new adventure in pain. I try getting up and the ol' leg says no way. I pull myself up using my desk and arms and try to man up and walk it off. Nothing doing, the leg won't hold my weight. So off to the ER for lots of fun for the next 7 hours. Broke my left fibula and severely sprained the ankle. Of all the stupid and rough shit I have done in 55 years of living I have never broken a major bone. Rodeo, football, wrestling, 20 years in the Navy, hiking, climbing, and biking to name a few, I have been hit by cars and no I break a leg eating lunch. How fucking dumb is that?

Amazed with all that you have t broken anything yet until now. Well bones do get more brittle I guess. I'm assuming you're not doing rodeo football anymore. Prayers sent up for quick healing my friend!

I'm trying to figure this out. I'm figurin' out that I'm not so savvy with all this stuff.
I am tryin' to introduce myself. I'm Bear Hawk and I'm in my 50's. I started dipping when I was in 8th grade back in Texas. I've of course quit off and on several times over the years.
I really want to quit permanent this time. I started quitting last week 8/15/13 and I'm doing good.
In the past I used all sorts of methods to quit but I find the cold turkey works the best for me.
I'm a real addict ... I'm the kind of guy who often trades bad habits but this time I'm just straight up giving this addiction the cold shoulder. I'm quit and darn the side effects.
I told my family and my co-workers that I was going to live up to my nick name and be a real bear for a while and well ... it hasn't been so bad this time ... not really.
So Hey there folks ... glad to see ya :wacko:
Congratulations on 1,000 days!!!!!!

So even after 1000 plus days I had one he'll of a dip dream last night. Now I am one of those very rare people who are active participants in my dreams and am mostly aware that I am dreaming and such. So it is really funny when I have one of these dreams. In this one I was dipping just every thing I could get my hands on, cope, grizzly, you name it. I couldn't get enough. And I was spitting on everything. Now at no time in the 35 plus years that I dipped did I get so disgustingly bad about spitting everywhere. I woke up without the horse breath of dip shit and no Brown stain on my pillow so I am good 'archer' It is just so funny how I don't think about snuff at all 99% of the time but had that crazy ass dream. Just goes to show ya that you will always be an addict. NAFAR, ODAAT and keep quit bro.

Amazing how the dreams can happen even this far into it!! Had a similar dream not too far earlier than comma. The scary part wasn't the realism of it, of course there was no washing if possible plow adds needed the next morning either. The scary part was that in the dream I had the biggest FU attitude to all my friends the quitters on here.

So I got to thinking ... This weekend is the toughest weekend of my year. I am the Security Site Supervisor at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista and this is BMX Olympic Trials Weekend. I is utter madness here for the next three days. At any rate; I've made it through without tobacco two times before but my mind got to wandering and wondering ... So if CA ever passes the law to legalize MJ if it is ok to roll a number and get smoked as a quitter? It's not tobacco? So you quitters from CO or WA please weigh in 'archer'

I is utter madness here for the next three days. At any rate; I've made it through without tobacco two times before but my mind got to wandering and wondering ... So if CA ever passes the law to legalize MJ if it is ok to roll a number and get smoked as a quitter? It's not tobacco? So you quitters from CO or WA please weigh in 'archer'
I'm from Missouri. I vote no.
Kill it this weekend bro.
I say go ahead. I would✌ï¸. Oh, I'm from MN.
