Need to put guards up

[Doc2quit4good]

Hey KTC.org,

I threw my dip can out today! Granted this is about the 5th time I've said that to myself in the past year but I've started realizing that it's been a short 5 years now since I started so I'm no longer just trying it out. I'm addicted. Those words are very hard to admit to. I haven't said them out loud before but even reading them in this post is difficult. I pride myself in having full control of my decisions and treating my body with respect, yet for some reason I allowed myself down this path and just always brushed it to the side. I didn't give dipping the proper danger assessment and have been lying to myself, and those around me ever since. My family doesn't know I have this habit. My fiance thinks I quit months ago, but all of my friends at work know and support it. I'm in the military so the idea of dipping at work is as common as eating food and going to the bathroom. If I run out, there is a multitude of options to get my fix. Problem is when I've tried to quit in the past there has always been some stressor as well as a supplier that is available and I've only managed to last 2 months straight which was about 3 months ago. If you can't already tell, I have nobody else to turn to that I'm comfortable speaking the topic too that would support me quitting.

I need a combat plan. I need to know how to handle stressors, people, triggers, and mindsets and I'm looking to you all to help me with what has worked for you. I already know that work, long drives, movies, video games, and studying are the big ones which I'm sure are very common to all dippers. But I also know how I work and if I have some science to back up this movement and some concrete evidence to scare me to death then I will be able to do this. I think the biggest thing will be for me to be held accountable which is why I love the idea of this forum and the support structure this community appears to provide. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Jbone40. You have to take responsibility for your quit today! It may be hard or you can't do it right now, but the first thing to do is post roll. If you don't do that, you are not with us here, and we can't help you. Get in August '14 and tell the people in there you are serious about this and not just looking for someone to take your addiction away from you. We can't do that. You have to want to quit for yourself. You also are going to have to learn the words "I don't dip anymore" because it sounds like you have built up a lot of reasons why you may or may not still be dipping again soon. I was never in the middle of a bunch of guys dipping, but I managed to create a 30 plus year addiction to nicotine for myself. It doesn't matter how much supply is around or how much peer pressure there is surrounding you. It is your resolve to quit that is most important. Get in August and post a Day 1 man. You owe it to yourself to do this! I quit with you today man!!!!!!!

Welcome!! These guys have all given you solid advice! I will add that if possible, get into chat when you can and talk! There are folks in all stages of quit who can help. It is so worth it to be free!!

Go all in here at KTC. Read the Welcome Center, HOF speeches, Introductions, Words of Wisdom, etc. you will gain a ton of quit knowledge just by doing that.

But the most important thing? Post roll with your quit group every damn day. This is the biggest key. It is your daily promise to stay quit.

Next make some friends, reach out, get phone numbers, text and talk with some other quitters. We all know exactly how you feel. We are all addicts.

Drink the koolaid, quit with us every single day, and you will be free.

What ^^^^^^ said.

I've been on here daily for the past 60 days and this site works. Dipped for 20+years. If you really want it, you can do it.

August 2014 is your quit group. Be sure to Post Roll daily and be engaged in this site.

I just want to reiterate what these guys said. The MOST important thing is to post roll EVERYDAY. After that the more reading you can do about this addiction the better. Knowledge is power.

It is hard for some to grasp this concept. For those that do, they never fail.

Post roll every, "Today"
Keep your promise, be a man of your word and fight throught the day. Tomorrow is a wish and not to be worried about.
Repeat.

Stay close to KTC and follow the plan and just do what you are told...no matter how weak you are, you will not fail if you follow the plan.

JBone, I am 25 days quit. The biggest piece of advice as far as stressors go is " problem + nicotine = 2 problems". An upcoming trigger for me will be mowing the lawn...........and the KTC has taught me that the lawn mower will work perfectly fine without a dip. I quit one day at a time and do not worry about tomorrow it terms of chew. I promised 10 minutes ago to you, the KTC brother and sisterhood, and myself that I will not intake nicotine today by posting roll in my quit group. I want you to do the same and we'll quit together.

Welcome aboard....get in there and post roll, stay active on here, and slay the nic. if you need any help, PM me.
