I have been on the edge for a long time.

Honestly, I saw this website a few nights ago and was mentally preparing myself to do this.

I had reduced my usage to a couple hours a day. But I was still using.

Stopping cold has to be the way. AND, although I have the obvious support from my family only users ....know....
Where are you friend?

well done on the post yesterday and apologies if I missed you today in the July group. But yes we give that word every day, just focus on one day at a time. In the past we always used and planned around that one day at a time (heaven's if we ever fell asleep without a tin ready for first thing in the morning.....). Well I urge to you, incorporate the quitting as a part of your life now.

Your situation mimics mine very closely...(I started at 18 when I went away to college, used for over 23 years, quit on July 2nd 2012 in the middle of coaching tournament baseball for my 10 year old son's team....) So you will find a lot of us here that are so similar. Which is why that word at the top of the screen 'Community'. You have moved in, make neighbors now, make friends, watch over one another.

Here is my hand, I along with a lot of others are here to help, just ask (shoot me a pm if you need anything).

You can do this
We're in Charleston, SC. Palmetto State Native.

I started as a freshman in college. My buddy and I had a Super Nintendo and would play Techno Bowl in between classes, after class, etc. We didn't smoke because we were both members of the track team. Hours of gaming and dipping. No drinking, naturally, we were underage...

Fast forward to present day..

I still love computer and console games. That's when I use dip, too. Kind of an evil marriage. I don't really crave when I'm working, or go out of town. Its as soon as I walk in the door at home.

Every day is going to be a challenge. If I can (and I will) make it through this weekend without caving my confidence will go through the roof. Is been 36 hours and I'm hanging tough.

Thanks All!

Welcome to the rest of your life - starting with just today. For just today - fight on. Embrace the suck and know it will get better. For just today - don't harm yourself anymore. For just today - enjoy knowing that you are not being controlled - but have taken charge of your life to live it. Proud to be quit with you - just for today.

Yeah so here it is.

Please excuse the attitude but based on the comments I've seen my apology is not necessary.

I'm a goddamn addict and I have been since college in '90.  Last night I wanted to post and dint have the balls because I have a solid dip left in the can and I didn't want to waste it. Usually the first thing I do on a Saturday morning is to shove a dip into my mouth.  This morning I did NOT.  Today I hunkered down in my non tobacco bunker....got gum, hard candy, bottled water.

This is the Copenhagen extinction event and I'm bugging out.

I'm 42 and I have dipped Copenhagen Gold since I was 18.  My 13 year old son dropped a bomb in my lap a couple months ago.  He didn't understand why I dipped. This, and the fact that every time I get a sore in my mouth I'm getting paranoid about cancer and other nasty shit. I'm done.

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.  Its been a long time coming and I have tried before.  I think accountability from this community will help me keep honest this time.

thanks all

are you sure we are not brothers? I was adopted. Fuck yeah, quit. Don't ever give another freaking penny to those UST murderers or to the tools in congress who just want to trade you your money for your death. Quit out of spite for these fuckers. Quit because you hate them, quit because you don't let anyone shit in your house and that is exactly what they are doing when they sell you that poison. Shoulder to shoulder I will stand with you while we say "I'm NOT BUYING YOUR POISON, FUCKER".

We are all brothers and sisters in this addiction. Through the recovery process comes an appreciation for what we have done. My life was a real downer for 40 years of using and self pity at my self inflicted slavery. That changed 2 years ago and that is where you stand today, the beginning of recovery. We quit one day at a time, every damn day!

Welcome to KTC VC. Make sure you read the Welcome Center. We quit one day at a time and post roll every day. Make sure you come here and rage on us, we can handle it and understand what it feels like. Your family did not shove that poison in your mouth for years and years so do not take it out on them. If venting here isn't enough head over to chat and rage on the gheys over there. Pick up some numbers along the way so that you can text and call other quitters. These things will keep you quit one minute, one hour, one day at a time.

BTW, when you post roll (the Welcome Center explains it) make sure you do a couple things; 1 Cut not copy, 2 post your name under the heading of new quitter 3 post a day count. These things are a promise to yourself and me that you will be clean for one day.

No apology needed here, rage on!

PM me if you need anything

Welcome, and no...we don't need a fucking apology.

I quit almost 3 years ago because my 5 year old packed a can of beef jerky after I bought it for him. It's horrible as a father to watch that because you see that they idolize you and your habits, but miss the hell it puts you through (cut up lips, upset stomach, body temperature at 15k degrees when you aren't chewing, heart disease, cancer,etc).

Did you figure out how to post roll yet?
Welcome. This is the place to be if you really want to quit. Post roll every day and stick close to Ktc and you can do this. PM me if you need a number.
Welcome VK. Congrats on your choice to reclaim your life! BE strong. Ask for help whenever you need it. Most of all, don't fuck up. Reach out if you need me.
