The beginning of my final Quit

[melonmafia]

Thanks Guys.

I woulda laughed if you told me last year that I was going to quit in 2014, but we did it one day at a time.

I'm all in for 200 Raider!

[sixercountry]

[Raider]

Congrats on 100!!! The plan was simple. Are you in for 200?

Wanted to offer a word of encouragement for all the newest and soon to be quitters. And an update to my quit group partners.

I dipped for 20+ years with no real quits and for the last 5 to 10 years I would never spend a waking hour without a dip in. I had gotten to the point of sitting in church with a dip in and didn't think it was that big of a deal. But I am now 14 days nicotine free thanks to some awesome people I have met through KTC. There is no doubt that the first week is a bitch, but after you pass through the fog you soon realize that you can actually do this. You just make your promise to yourself and the group every morning and just take it one day at a time. If I can make it through the first few days, anyone can.

I also wanted to post and tell yall about a major test I passed this afternoon. I had been spraying under the house and had gotten covered in chemicals. When I got done, I took a shower and then found a pair of old jeans in a bottom drawer. Guess what was in the pocket! A half can of Grizzly Snuff not even dried out completely. Nobody would know but me if I just had one pinch. I did not cave, I went and dumped it into the toilet and then washed out the can so there would be no trace of temptation. Funny thing was, there was no real temptation. This time I know for sure I do not want to go back down that road. I am completely nicotine free, but I am still using Smokey Mtn as a crutch. Probably using it too much, but for now that's ok with me.

Guys, if I can do this... anyone can. I was extremely addicted for over half my life. Addicted like I never ran out and never took it out, always planned ahead so I had cans ready to go. I'm different now than I was on day one, even though I know I'm still an addict and have to stay quit one day at a time. If you want to quit, all you have to do is take the first step and do it. Do it now, why wait? I haven't found a single person here that regrets quitting.

Thanks to everyone at KTC for helping me quit and stay that way.

It's a bumpy road at first but we'll worth the ride. I also use SM on rare occasions but it's nice to have when you feel the urge. Sounds like you have a great quit going on. Way to dump the cancer in a can down the crapper.

Glad to be quit with you.

I just turned 40 in January and have dipped one can a day since I turned 15.  The longest I have ever quit was about two weeks but I have never tried a support group, always just went cold turkey.  My usual quits would be on vacation or at the in-laws and I would be doing great, until I got back to work with three coworkers who dip side by side with me and I would cave. 

I'm married with two great kids.  My son is now 8 and I'm afraid he will be following in his father's footsteps if I don't change my ways.  My wife thinks I quit two years ago after a trip to the throat doctor since I had self diagnosed myself with cancer (turned out to be acid reflux).  I started back a few days after my appointment but have kept it hidden from my family ever since.

I am ready to quit. I had my last dip yesterday afternoon and went and bought 5 cans of Smokey Mtn. this morning for backup.  So far so good, I'm dealing with the hazy mind but it's not too bad this time. I know it will pass after a few days, but my failure has always been 10 to 14 days out when I feel confident enough that I could just take a small pinch and not start back.

This looks like the place to be since we all have the goal.

Getting on here is the right first step. The next step is to take it one day at a time being Nic free. You can never just take one dip, the Nic bitch will haunt you for the rest of your life. Taking a dip every now and then is a sign of weakness. Are you weak or are you strong? Stay completely Nic free, post roll daily and use your intro as a daily journal. I too was a closet dipper. Nobody knew but the clerk who sold me the shit in a can. This site is where you vent when your pissed off. Keep the wife and kids out of it. Wanna bitch at someone, bitch at me. I can take it but commit to quit by Posting Roll daily. Nice to have you on board.

From 1 closet dipper to another, PM me anytime. I know it's hard to share info when the family doesn't know but if you PM me I will find a way to get in touch at your convenience.

If you haven't already done so, you guys should tell your wives that you are quit. You need accountability at home plus your mood will change. You owe t to your significant others come clean and be honest. You need the clean slate. It is the only way.

Tell them everything tell them your hiding spaces and how you bought it. Tell the about our addiction, about KTC. you are becoming a better you now. They deserve to share in that joy. I guarantee it will strengthen your relationships.

Quit lying now to truly be free. The raise you're still letting nic hold you back.

I was a ninja dipper too and I've never been happier since I told my wife.

Welcome to the over 40 club and the KTC club Melon!
You are definitely at the right spot! Post roll and keep on quittin'.
I really relate to you. I have 2 kids including a 12 year old boy and chewed for 36 years. I am quit for 25 days and if I can do it you can.
Don't worry about day 14 and don't ever think you can take just one dip. Keep the nic bitch out of your life and body for ever.
You can do it and we are here for you.
Quit on bro!

Melon...
The single most important thing you must do each and every day is to Post Roll. Learn how to do this in the "Welcome Center" tab above. Posting Roll is your word of honr that you are keeping your quit. This is important to you, and it is important to everyone on here that is supporting you. You will be in the June '14 quit group. I quit with you today.

.... but my failure has always been 10 to 14 days out when I feel confident enough that I could just take a small pinch and not start back.

Welcome...this is the right place for you.

Don't think 14 days down the road. Don't think about tomorrow. Focus on today. We quit one day at a time.

man...your intro sounds like you wrote it about me. Almost exactly. If I can do this so can you.

PM me if you need a phone number.
