Hang in there Scott. I quit yesterday as well. I am just going to take it one day at a time. That is all any of us can do. I won yesterday. I don't ever want Skoal to win again. Fuck that bitch. I will win again today and so will you.

Quote from: scottjamesGuys I apologize. I'm trying to sit hear and convince myself that's it's ok for me to dip again because I'm "not as addicted as someone else."

I know that's bullshit.

I'm an addict of nicotine. Tonite was just my mind whispering, "just one more pinch Scott. You can always stop when you want to."

I think I'm starting to realize that physically I'm ok but mentally I'm a little F'ed up.

Nite, quitters.
Scott what is going on here? If I'm reading between the lines correctly you almost caved yesterday, but didn't want to be held accountable on the site so you invented some story about how quitting was so much easier for you then the rest of us humps and you didn't want to use the site because you don't fit in?...Then at 4am EST you apologized and posted roll. Am I right? If not I have no idea what you are talking about. If I am right, stick with this, and don't flake out. First two weeks will be the toughest then it gets easier. Even if you feel it is easy now, it will get easier.
Just thought I would add some levity in here today...Scotty Doesn't Know
I loved euro trip.

I don't care what any of y'all think.
In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

"If you want to quit then stop talking and just QUIT. If you want to kill yourself a bullet is cheaper and faster than a tin, plus it eliminates my hearing you whine and cry like a bitch."

Best thing I have read on KTC...Submitted by tgafish on 7/3/14

Former Skoal Straight and Cope Longcut user that started at the age of 12. QUIT on 7/15/13

Glad to see you made it through the night Scott. And you are correct, it is bullshit to think you are not as addicted as someone else. Addiction is addiction. You either are or you are not. You are, I am, we all are or we wouldn't be here.

I'll tell you this. I'm on day 7 and the first 4 days were all mental for me. Then the physical portion started to show itself. Just tough it out. Drink plenty of water, at least double your normal amount. Lay off the caffine and booze for a bit. Eat a good amount of protein and get some exercise. Anything you need to do to get past it. I look at some of the more established members of this site as the example that all this confusion and discomfort will go away. I truly believe that and you should to. We just have to be ready to cowboy up and fight.
5 years is a pretty long time. Certainly enough time to get addicted.

The thing is, years really don't matter. It's hard regardless.

Looks like you've accepted that now and are ready to quit.

Start posting role and making your daily promise not to use and get this quit started.

You don't have to do it alone. You have a bunch of guys who have been in your shoes yo guide you along. You can't find that kind of support any place else.

Time to stop looking back on how many years you used. It's time to focus on NOW and being quit.

You WILL do this.

Quit on...
Welcome again Scotty.

Do or do not. There is no "try".
Bring it dude...bring your anger, your fucked up addict talk. That's what this site is all about. There is a ton to learn about our addiction. It takes time...read...humble yourself...read...listen...while you're doing all of this QLFEDD by:
posting roll
keeping your word
waking and repeating

Your life is worth fighting for, right?? It is up to YOU and you alone...it is your tongue and jaw...noone else will feel the knife cutting out the cancer.

I promise you that you're not a special butterfly...we are all addicts of the poison.
It gets better, but you have to own it, fight like hell, re-wire like a computer, want it more than life itself.

You really can do this...I dipped 30 years, 1-2 cans a day...24/7 wide open...no ninja shit, just plain ole dumbass dipping that cost me a lot. I am over 2 years quit with the KTC way.
If I can do this, so can YOU! It really is "all in our head". We are addicts, but we can "control" this addiction.

whadya say??
Keeping my jaw and tongue...I like them.
It's poison I tell ya, You wouldn't drink Liquid Drano, would ya?

Scott, back on March 4th I came on this site and made an intro, and by March 5th I was convinced that the KTC was filled with assholes, and that they had no idea what I was going through, I mean, how could they, they didn't know me! How dare they call me an addict, and why should I do what they are suggesting?

100+ days later I am posting on your intro, and am 111 days free of slavery. Seems like these folks know a thing or two about quitting......drink the Kool-Aid, and quit with us.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Seriously, why you turning so hostile? That's one of the traits of those who struggle.

If this is easy for you then just do what you said in your very first post. Go back and read it.

Dude... Just stop.

We're trying to help you. Like it or not we see people like you come and go all the time and we can see failure before you even know that's where you're heading. Put the attitude away and pay attention... Your life is on the line. You realize that right?

In all honesty quitting is hard. If it were easy nobody would need ktc to quit. From personal experience I can tell you that in your first couple weeks you really should try to stay away from booze. I live my cold drink or two after work every night but I had to give it up for a while in the beginning. Drinking a cold beer always makes me think of dip because I always used to crack a cold beer and then put in a huge lipper of cope. So drinking is a big trigger. Early in your quit you should avoid as many triggers as possible. I quit with you today! You can do this!

Let me see if I'm reading this correctly...

You are not sure you're ready for this because it's too easy and you can't relate to those who are struggling, but need to ponder it over a beer?

You also somehow think you quit back in college, yet came here saying no more ever.
