Intro

well i think its about time to give a little update on whats going on in my life to any readers out there and my fellow quit brothersÂ… day 21 is slowly coming to an end and i have to say these past 3 weeks have been a little ruff (the first 3 days were living hell lol).. the fog lifted awhile back, but just recently over the past few days the anxiety has been pure torture. I've read up on this and it seems to be a pretty common occurrence and only lasts a few days so I'm definitely looking forward to getting out of this phase for the time being.. what else, ahh yes- have had some very interesting (almost) dip dreams that happen over and over again. in the dreams, some event will send me into a panic and off i go to the gas station for a can. Ill mutter what i want to the guy at the counter, pay him, and run outside and throw the fuckin can as far as i possibly can. interesting right? hell, at least I've got the right idea in my dreams! now just waiting on the real dip dream to roll around, i know that sneaky nic bitch is lurking somewhere around my head.. :wacko:

You're kicking ass man. Fuck anxiety - steamroll right over it. Embrace the quit. Don't be afraid of success - run with it. Keep posting every day in the morning and feel good about what you are accomplishing. 21 wins 0 losses. That's solid man.

uh hell yeah^^ that type of mentality definitely helps with some weak ass anxiety problems tying to mess with my brain

Hell yes what everyone else has said. Read everything on KTC, and quit now. You can save yourself a lot of $ and worries by being a bad ass quitter at such a young age. PM me if you need anything.

hello,
my name is rob and I've been dipping a little over a can a day now for about 3 years (started when i was 14 and am 17 now).. my decision to start dipping is hard to explain, but i guess it had allot to do with peer pressure and the fact that my father is also a dipper. He started smoking when he was 12, then quit when my sister was born 20 years ago and has been dipping ever since. For as long as i can remember, I've always wanted to be just like my father and to mimic every action he does. He's been my hero; however, I never would have guessed that i would have also picked up his bad habits as well, being the ignorant teen i am.. When i was a freshman (14 years old) sure enough i found me and my buddies crackin open our first can, and as much as they tried to act like they liked it, they couldn't. But i did. I was consumed and in awe of the feeling that all i needed was just a pinch and all my problems would seemingly disappear. This went on for the next couple of year until i decided to quit. about 2 or 3 months ago, I went 30 days quit without really any problems, but towards the end i completely lost motivation and felt like i was trying to be someone that i wasn't supposed to be. I have come to this website now in hope of insightful advice and support to put this nasty shit down once and for all and to be a better friend to my friends and son to my parents. and I'm currently just over 24 hours into my final quit!

Big Rob: you're a man -- and wise -- beyond your years. Proud to be one of your brothers in the May 2014 Quit Group. Solid guys in the group -- let's beat this together. Quit with you today, along with rest of KTC brothers  sisters.

Rob - No better time like the present to make this decision. Good group of people here at KTC. Commit to your quit everyday and guard it!

Big Rob, excellent decision by a relatively young guy. Hell, I started dipping around your age and kept it up until 4 days ago at the ripe old age of 53. I wish I could go back in time and kick myself in the nuts when I was first dipping. I can't do that, but seeing you on here facing up to your addiction is very heart-warming. You're smarter than I was, keep this POISON out of your life. Keep doing what you're doing!
Proud to be quit with you and the rest of May 2014! 'oh yeah'

^^^^^^What Sluggo said X2!^^^^^

[horseman]

Bigrob excellent decision young man. There are so many here that would love to have had the brains and brawn to make this move at your age.
I will pm you with my number and use it anytime you feel you need the help, anytime!!!

[ExNuke]

This is your group:

May Quitters 2014

Go there, get to know them (you will be one of the first), and start this journey.

[rdad]

17 is a good age to quit. On this site we post roll everyday. It's your promise to everyone here you won't use tobacco today. In return they promise you by posting roll. This is not a "try" site. It's do or do not. Failure is usually met pretty harshly so if you aren't ready or you plan to half ass it, this ain't the place for you. However, if you are a man of your word and you truly plan to quit, you will find more support here than you can imagine. I don't know what the newest group is, but you need to go find it and post a Day 1.

Someone link all the good stuff on this intro thread please.

Big Rob, you will be in May quit class. I applaud you for wanting to quit so young. Tough these first days out. You will be getting more advice but I can tell you that if you want to quit nicotine this is the place to do it. It's hard but sooooo worth it!

[ExNuke]

Big Rob,

Hell of a choice to quit as young as you are!!!! I started when I was 14 or 15 (don't remember exactly when), and have quit numerous times in the past. Finally, now at the age of 34 with the help of the guys on this site, I am done, never again will I pick up Copenhagen.

Get to know the guys in your group, get to know the vets and get some numbers. I am in a group of guys who text throughout the day just to BS and support one another.

Good choice, keep it up, you are smarter than I was when I was your age.
