This Time....For the Right Reasons

[Wt57]

I suggest you start reading KTC. Start with the welcome center and keep going from there. Your intro shows that you need to educate yourself about our addiction. All dippers are nicotine addicts. The problem is not the act of dipping but the nicotine addiction. Using nic gum or a patch or any other nicotine delivery system just keeps you using. Throw out all your nicotine (flushing it is best), post roll and get reading...

Just keep reading and quit now. Every imaginable answer to your addiction can be found here. If you can't find your answer give me a shout I'll be glad to assist. Listen to what others have to say.

Hi All - This is my first post committing to a new start in my life; but this time, for the right reasons.

My name is Aaron and I am 24. I started dipping when I was 14, snagging pinches from my boss at an equine facility in Indiana. I didn't actually get hooked on it until later in high school; continuing the bad habit because it's what all the guys were doing. It started with just a dip before and after school and turned into 1 1/2 - 2 cans a day while in college. For the last year and half, I have been able to cut back to about a can a day - but it's running my life. I have tried quitting numerous other times, but it wasn't time for ME - it was on someone else's watch, and each time ended in excuses and failure.

This time is different. This time I am prepared and have a plan. This time I am ready for a new dawn in the reformation of my future. This time I have reasons I am not willing to put holes in. This time I am going to take back my life.

What makes me ready to begin this journey again to change my ending? First and foremost, this time it was my decision to quit; not my partner's, not anyone else's. I am a fighter - I am not willing to accept failure again. I am ready to take back my life - It's sad I always know where my can is, but can easily misplace other items: i.e.: phone, wallet, keys, etc. I no longer want to be dependent on dip. Gums are getting nasty. Bad breath. Scared of the big "C" word and other related health risks. Saving money. It's simply a disgusting habit. Of course, this is only the top of my list and there are numerous others.

How am I going to reach my 100 day mark? First, it starts with support here and at home. When I am craving a dip I have Grind - a caffeine pouch, gum, and Nicorette as a last resort. This time there is accountability - both here and at home. We recently purchased a farm, so will have plenty of things to keep me preoccupied with renovations and fencing. Lastly, when successful, I am allowing myself to trade back up to a new truck - hopefully incentivising the quit that much more.

If you have made it this far, I appreciate you reading my post. I look forward to hearing suggestions on what may/may not have worked for you during your quit. I will be posting roll first thing tomorrow in the May 2014 Group as tomorrow is Day 1. Thanks -

Welcome. First off, take that nic gum and put it all in one hand. Next, take a dump in your other hand. Finally, take the contents of each hand, throw them in the shitter and flush.

This is a NO nicotine, cold turkey site. Don't continue your addiction by using another delivery system. An alcoholic doesn't quit drinking by weening off vodka by chugging a brew when the going gets tough.

Don't worry about day 100 just worry about today.

Speaking of today, post role right now if you promise to be nic free for the rest of the day.

Fuck yesterday and screw tomorrow. Do your thing TODAY...and wash your hand that had poop in it.

Quit on...
