Glad you're here. You can and will succeed if you follow the program. It's not that hard to do, but you need to make it a priority in your life. Where will KTC rank in your list of priorities? For me, it's very close to the top every day. Observe the following:

1. Post roll every day without exception. This is the foundation and cornerstone. If you can't commit to doing this everyday, then you might as well just keep on dipping. It's an accountability system in which you promise everyone in your quit group you won't dip for a day, and they in turn do the same to you. Do this first thing every single day. Don't have internet access? See rule 2

2. Get some phone numbers of a few people in your quit group. This will be used for you to reach out to should you decide to consider caving. Also, use this group to post roll for you should you be out of touch. A cave plan is very very important. Form a plan. What will you do if you find yourself out drinking with your buds, and they start dipping in front of you?

I'm glad you're here. This system isn't hard to follow. But, it demands your attention, and will work for you should you make it a priortiy. I look forward to seeing you in the HOF friend.

bblank... ill send you my number. i have been able to handle all craves up to this point but i have about 5 numbers to call if i think i really need some help. promising this group that you are quit, then "caving" (take a dip, even if its only one), will bring the wrath of many. staying clean and quit will bring the support of all.

Hi there. Finally decided to get help from credible humans...people that have actually conquered quitting this addictive habit and those that aspire to follow in there footsteps! I am in my early 30s, married, with a little boy who says "ewe, that stuff is icky, but just for grown-ups right"....ugh, and I continue to use the shit! Well, I'm done! I haven't been to the dentist in like 8 years because I am embarrassed, I know I am ruining my mouth...I went in for an emergency wisdom tooth removal and I heard them saying that I better quit chewing or I'll lose the whole front row... Talk about depressing. So, I am going to quit....just looking for any support and I will provide the same. I quit last year for about 5 months, did good, used the lozenges, got addicted to them...spring walleye fishing came around, I caved and went back the the Kodiak that has had ahold of me for nearly 18 years...ugh, that sounds bad...

Looking forward to the HOF and HOL!

Did you flush all of your poison.
Are you quit or quitting?
Are you going to post roll?

You my friend have come to the right place. Drink the cool-aid and stay awhile. Everyone above me has gave you everything you need to know. The only advice I have for you is very simple. Do not replace dip(nicotine) with nicotine. No more nicotine. Period. The last thing is keep the shit out your lip. Its that simple.

I quit with you today! 'Sno'

Stay strong! Might want to read the Tom and Jenny Kern story. When I read the part about his daughter saying "please don't go, daddy" as he passed, I was blubbering...still chokes me up. But it ignited a hated for all things tobacco in me that was very healthy. I'll be damned before I'll let my addiction and tobacco torture those I love the most.

You got this, brother!

January 15 need a roll call bro. Jump in head first and never look back - and get your ass to a dentist. I held out 3 years once and it was a very painful cleaning.

Bblank,
First off welcome to KTC. I can also tell you that I too was a complete dipping fool for years, my daughter was emphatic that my habit (now addiction) was nasty and I was gross, but I never really heard her. My wife wanted me to quit but she never really forced the issue. Then finally in a moment of clarity I googled how to quit using smokeless tobacco and I landed here. That was 463 days ago and I am damn proud to be able to say that. I simply got there the same way as everyone else here, one day at a time. That term (ODAAT) will start to mean more to you as you add up plus one days.

The first few weeks are gonna suck and suck real bad, so brace for the pain and prepare yourself. This mean get rid of any dip you have on hand, change your habits of going to the convenience store or gas station, start paying at the pump. Here is my advice for starters:
- Avoid triggers (activities, drinking, asshole buddies [i.e. dipping friends])
- Post Roll Daily, here's How to Post Roll Call
- Get to know your fellow quitters, exchange numbers with a few (watch for the perverted ones)
- Get your wife involved in your quit and have her read this Spousal Support
- Read the stories on here, my favorites are the Tom Kern Story or Randy's story
- Drink lots of water, if you can pass a urinal and not feel like you have the bladder of a female on a road trip then you aren't drinking enough
- Find an alternative to dip and have it with you at all times (candy, fake chew, toothpicks, seeds)
- Then have an outlet for rage, it will come and you will be a dickhead, just remember that you caused your addiction not anyone else. Come here, go to chat, call me whatever it takes to keep the anger and rage in the right direction
- Next, well just do it all for you and you alone, then let everyone else bask in the glory of your quit.

We're conquering this. Some days, it's easy.  Others...not so much. Strap in because you will have a few of those rich off the bat. Water, exercise, and limit your caffeine. Get some numbers here, and read as much as you can.

Most importantly, quit!

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
