I've been on the KTC sight multiple times. Finally decided to register. Dipped Copenhagen 38 years, can a day like most people here. Quit a couple times for a month or 2 and once maybe a year. I'm 99 days into my quit and have to say what's different this time. 2 things. And both are linked to this website. #1 is reading the trials, the pain, the withdrawals of others and their success. Knowing I'm not the only one dealing with this addiction and #2 is knowing that I can never have a dip or smoke a cigar ever again. The other cave times were "one won't hurt,"I can handle this". Truth is, I can't. Not one. Ever. I now know if I cave just once, it's a can a day and a start all over with the hell of the beginning of the quit. Knowledge is power and a big thanks to the leaders on this sight who promote the truth of beating this addiction and providing support for others who are trying..

Welcome BigAl. You've made it pretty far on your own and that is bad ass. Stay strong!

Welcome big Al. 100 days is the first step towards your last quit. One of the many things I've learned here, pouring through the countless pages of wisdom, bullshit, badassery and comedy is that those who don't post a daily promise run a much higher risk of relapse. Also, those who do, lower that probability to almost zero. Man, I like those odds.

99 days by yourself is frigging awesome! I'm also 38 year addict. On day 43 and I can honestly tell you without this site I would have never made it! I know at your age you know what your word means so all you have to do is keep it and you will have it made! Proud to have another quit brother! ODAAT!

Wish I could say I did it on my own. But it was the inspiration fro the people on this sight that helped me get to 100. I came here as a visitor and viewed 4-5-6 times a day. That's what got me from there to here. That and Smokey Mountain Chew.

Hey BigAl,
Guessing your in your 50s... Me too.
I also dipped 38 years, why don't you come on over to the February 2015 Group with us and start posting roll.
That's the group I'm in and I'm at day 85. We are a strong group and you are welcome to join us.
Instructions for posting roll is all over the place.. Even have videos.
If you can't figure it out send me a text. I just sent you my number in your inbox. (too right corner)
Congrats on a hundy.
I quit with you today brother.
Rawls.

Just curious why you didn't register at day 1 and post roll? Maybe someone could have used your help.
