Hey Alaska, I hope to see you get on that roll. It wasn't long ago that I made the decision to utilize the help here at KTC. I started my quit in January and due to my previous repeated attempts to quit I had no confidence that I could actually stay quit. It's now been 155 days and I owe that to posting roll and to the accountability of the brothers and sisters in quit. I owe it to all the stories and testaments in this vast library of quit. It's been both the easiest and hardest thing I've ever done. So jump on in and post roll. There's no better time than now to get your life back. Quit with you.

You don't have to wait til you are dead to find out if you have honor to your name. You can have honor to your name right now, as a quitter with the rest of us. You are letting your family down every day, and yourself, every day, when you use tobacco.

Stay quit, live with integrity.

Welcome to KTC Alaska, Great people and community. We all know what your going thru. I'm on day 16 of quit. I put that poison in my body for 30 years. The first week for me was the toughest but every time I get the crave I get on KTC and I see I'm not the only one who is an addict. So go post roll and fight the good fight my brother.

Alaska,
Welcome to KTC support group. You will find lots of support and help as you go through your quit. You will be quitting with the Samurai of September. If you go to the quit group page and the search down you will find us. There are directions on how to post. One of the biggest parts will be your daily roll post, which you will need to do each and every morning. This is your promise to the rest of our group and all the members of KTC that you will not use nic. for the day. We believe in quitting one day at a time and that will help you over come the cravings each and every day. You will find PMs in your inbox which is found on the upper right corner. I will PM you with some more info.

Welcome Alaska. I think what I'm seeing you say is that you were able to justify dipping by a friend dying. Do you think that friend would have said, "Be sure to have a dip if life gets too hard". I believe we can make up all kinds of excuses for not being able to cope without dip. The truth is that is the addict in us. That gives us a reason to be able to do what we want to, that's all it is. Understand that there is NOTHING that can happen to you that will cause you to dip. It just gives you a reason to justify it. Post roll everyday like the rest of us. Welcome to our group!
I agree with Macadamia- I fought with all the justifications in the world yesterday and today. I got mad and thought Fuck it why not? Um... losing half my face is a why not? Find those reasons which give you strength to say no. When you beat a crave, and you find yourself happy and content- even if just for a while- remember that feeling!!. You will have another moment where you want to justify having one- but if you remember how it feels to resist and not NEED it- you'll find the strength to say NO and you'll know its the Devil on your shoulder poking you. You don't NEED it. My mom always said- there's a difference between want and need.
We're here for you!

Hi all, new to this. I'm tired of having to excuse myself to spit, or having a dip in when it's not appropriate... If I don't quit, I'm afraid the poison will kill me in a way that brings no honor to my name. I am fairly certain my death will come before my daughters graduate from high school, then some other man will give them away at their weddings. Shame on me, shame on big tobacco, and shame on the older friends whose influences were influential on a weaker, younger me... Most of all, shame on me! I look forward to having a group to join to help this go more smoothly than my last quit which was 7 months cold turkey. The stress of a friend's death made me feel too week to stay away. Thanks for letting me in.
You can beat this. Today was day 4 for me and it was hell but I made it and you can too. Reach out to people on here and start to post Roll Call. You got this!
