Good morning Cindy...I know the boat you and your husband are in. Quitting for good is by far the hardest and scariest thing I've EVER done. War was easier on me than quitting if that says anything. The sense of pride you and he will feel once you hit 100 days will be like no other. Come to us for help, we've been in your shoes and know what you're going through. The headaches, the agitation, the mood swings, the sick feeling, the jitters, the fog and emotions. It's hard, no other way to say it. But you can do it. I chewed for 12 years myself and the last 6 of it I wanted to quit but just couldn't. I'd get a headache when I'd try, throw in a dip, be fine. I found that smokey mountain chew was a perfect alternative. Same wintergreen flavor, same burn, same sensation of having a dip in. It was actually better because, well 1, it was all natural herbs and mints and whatnot, and 2 I could have one in ANYWHERE because you didn't have to tote a spit bottle around with you. It was my saving grace and I don't regret for one second EVER quitting. Sure there are still times where I want a dip in...I just know I CAN go without so I WILL go without. Feel free to reach out to me. Yall inbox me on those rough days and I'll try my best to walk you through it. YOU...CAN...DO...IT.

There are no circumstances in which using nicotine will improve the outcome.

Happy Birthday Cindy!

Over. And over. And over. And over.

After 100 days, people cave for 1 reason. They stop posting roll. They either subconsciously want to cave, or subconsciously never wanted to quit. I don't get it. Who the fuck would ever want to relive that 100 days again? Not me!

We've all heard this a billion times. Post roll every day. Not posting is like hitting your head on a brick wall. Over. And over. And over. And over.
Hey Cindy, I'm glad you are back just like everyone else.... But this place is about tough love sometimes too. I'm glad you seem to be on the right path now, but i wanna make sure you know that posting roll every day is the only way you will ever win. No excuses going forward. You know how to win. Don't choose to lose. Losing, and not posting roll, sucks.
You either want to quit more than anything, or you don't. There is no place for half Ass Quitters here. Close the damn door.
I know that it doesn't matter, but just for the record, I posted over 300 days at right at 100% at which time I left KTC for a few reasons, which were not good enough reasons. I caved a few months later. I have no doubt had I stayed here I would have posted my 701 day today instead of my 7th.
why did you leave? Dig deep... The best way to not make the same mistake is to understand the causes behind it

By the way, there are no "good enough" reasons to leave KTC.
I had started to forget about it. I would go all day without dipping ever crossing my mind and it felt like I had to remember dipping to remember to come here. I thought it was a good thing to forget about it and not be forced to think about it every day. Nice thought I guess, I was wrong, obviously.
Yep... not thinking about it.

It's a nice thought and all but... all of us here can't live that way.

Not thinking about it is reserved for those who never put any of that evil shit in their body. Us?... it's now our lifelong diligence to maintain. However... your mind has to turn away from the burden that seems to be. Instead... you need to foster the grateful attitude that KTC pulled you out of the endless cycle of addiction. Be thankful to be winning each day.

Be thankful for real freedom.

Freedom isn't just "not dipping"... it's being free of the weight of managing that addiction.

I say it all'a time... get involved and STAY involved.
Cindy AJ, w2w are telling it like it is. See a lot has been happening since you left. Getting alot of patting on the ass, coddling and I know you know that's not how Ktc was built to run. Some guys are quitting 3 day's coming back like oops it's hard so I think I'll try again and fail 3 days later. That's bullshit you know that. I can tell you want this but you know just like was said previously, we're all addicts here and I would be willing to bet 9 out of 10 that leaves Ktc before? I can't answer that because I've seen anywhere from 700 to 1200 day's pissed away because of whatever reason but mainly, complacency or don't want to be reminded there addicts or hell I got this. For me I admit I'm an addict and I will never be cured therefore I will always need and welcome help. I'm glad there's still some ole timers out there reminding us all we're addicts that's what brought us here and that's why we need to stay!( Although w2w is only 44 he's wise for his age :) Quit Early Edd ODAAT!

When you stop quitting hard, you forget how hard it was.

"When will you put the arrogance and ignorance aside and choose to live and to live with honor and integrity. It's the best fucking feeling in the world. It beats the shit out of feeling like a loser caver. It beats the shit out of knowing that you are nic's bitch. It beats the shit out of getting cancer and dying. This is really hard shit and you have to attack it with a vengeance. Get after it January. Quit like fuck" ~ Bronc
