Come on Mommy, I know these guys look scary, but they are all just teddy bears deep down. We take the whole quitting thing around here pretty serious. If you're ready to quit then quit. It will be hard and it will suck, but we are all here for you. We have been through the same shit: Sleepless nights, constant cravings, being annoyed at the littlest things, etc. Just embrace it as to how much your body really hates that nicotine and take it one day at a time. That is all we ask for around here is just one day.

Well shit Mommy!!!!!  Don't let the bastard win.  Take the win away and fight each day!!!!

I know the choice is yours but from the outside looking in, its almost like I don't get it. 

Like a woman who accepts that her man loses his temper and beats her.  There is support for her and they all say she needs to get out of that relationship....but she stays????  She is miserable but she has tons of excuses to stay married and beaten down. 

  NO EXCUSE NOT TO QUIT EVER TRUMPS A REASON TO QUIT

My only thought is that when you are in bondage, you know what you got but if you fight for freedom, you will be full of choices...and success or failure is going to be your responsibility?

When I first quit.  The first week, I really felt like I broke up with my mistress.  There was a void.  I was sad.  I was in her power.  At day 43, she is just a cold bitch, a parasite, a selfish whore and I can't believe she took precedence in my life. 

Once you detox, freedom is not scary but full of hope, vision and opportunity.   
YOU CAN QUIT.  YOU CAN WIN.  YOU DON'T Need to be committed to the abusive tobacco relationship anymore.  You will have supporters.   Still your call and I wont bother you anymore on this.
JUST TROLLING POOR KID. 'no'

I am a newly recent mother and wife and as of today after a 20+ dipping addiction I decided to quit for good! I have decided to this for my health and for my family. All these years I have been dipping I have avoided reading up on the possible risks from doing it and then I became a mother and that was the first thing I thought about so naturally I started reading up on it,I mean I obviously new the risk,not to many people don't, but there were a few things that shocked me, I think for the most part I was scared into deciding to quit, after reading up on it all I could think of was what if I end up getting cancer or having to have half of my jaw or chin removed,how would my son react to his mommy looking like that, not saying anything bad the ones who have had to have that done,I salute you for being brave enough to go through it and some even educate others about it and live a happy fulfilling life. Iv been trying on my own to quit for the past couple weeks,without any success obviously, so I came across this website. You always here about numbers and websites for smokers or drinkers or even drug addicts but never about dip. I'm hopen with the help of this website and the people on it,and God I can one day soon say that I have officially kicked the habit and have given it up for good! I am so tired of trying to hide it from my husband or constantly having to lie when I run to the store to pick up another can, it kills me a little every time knowing I'm not telling him the truth and it embarrasses me knowing that I just had some in right before I gave him a welcome home from work kiss :( ! I know I have a lot of withdraws and anger to go through these next few weeks but I'm more than ready to kick the habit and take back control of my own life without the constant worry of if someone's going to see it in my mouth,or where am I going to spit while I have it in,or even,Lord forbid,worrying when or if it will turn into cancer!
Jessiahsmommy,

If you are truly ready to quit then I am here and will help you in anyway I can. But know this you have to want to quit. Unfortunately this is not my first stab at this but I know what it takes to stay quit and that is to OWN YOUR QUIT. Learn to hate tobacco and love yourself.. Stay strong and pm me if you need anything.

Is she quit? I didn't see her post roll. Maybe still sticking her foot in the pool? Not quite ready to go for a swim in the cold pool.
Must not be. It is one cold ass pool for sure, but it gets warmer as you pee in it.

Ok,I'm new to this website so can someone tell me what "post roll" is about or what it is?
And nothing you said offended me!
Posting roll is how we make ourselves accountable to each other. It's why this place works and why so many of us remain quit. We put our name on a list with our quit brothers and sisters. That signature is our promise to them an ourselves to not use any form of nicotine today. Then, we repeat that every day, keeping our word, and remaining quit. Click on the welcome center up and to the left. Read #4 and implement #3. There is a link to the video on #3. if today is Day 1, your in July 2012 Pre HOF, weird at first I know, but it's because you hit 100 Saul in July.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you need help.
Thanks for your help!

Wow!!! I hate to say anything after reading what Mthomas said. He is so right on, I welcome you to the July quitters. I know the many times I've tried to quit it was never for the right reason; that's why it always failed. Just like Mt I knew without a doubt on my quit day (at 1:30 am on April 1, 2012) when I flushed those last 3 cans down the toilet that I was done, I did it for me, no outside pressure or guilt driving my quit. I was ready! I have drawn from the inter-strength that I never knew I had, I have leaned heavy on everyone here on KTC for support and I have found great strength from prayer. My wife at first was sceptical, and justifiably so since she had heard all the lies and promises over and over. Now she asks me what day it is, how the day went, what feelings I've been having and I could never have been open with her before because I knew down deep that I would chew again, and I didn't want to slip and give her hints of things to watch for when I started again. Now I am so very open with her and feel so relieved to hold nothing back, the strength I gain from being full honest with everyone is something that I have never known. Stay strong, post and quit daily, build a strong contact list to fall back on. PM me if you would like to share #''s

Mommy. I hope to see you post roll day after day. I read every word of you introduction. I think the reasons to quit are there. I do have some concern....here comes the straight no bullshit thoughts...

Really? Are you truly quit? I didn't feel like when the craving comes that you will be able to say no. My thoughts were, "I give her 1 to 3 days before she caves". I have been wrong and believe me, I hope you prove me wrong. In fact I hope this lights you up and 3 days from now, after you have posted roll and stayed quit....you send me an email and tell me to pound sand!

Until then, this is my warning to you. You are missing one component to your quit. If you had no one in your life, would you still want to quit? My point is that you are quitting for family along with fear of cancer. You can only quit when you want to quit. You can't quit for the love you have for family. The addict has to quit because they love themselves more than the addiction.

You have to be so sick and tired that going through the pain of detoxing is more exciting than getting a fix.

I was done 41 days ago. I tried to quit many times but when I posted roll here, I knew I was quit. I despise tobacco. I love the freedom. Anyone can quit when they value themselves over their addiction.

If you hate what I said, and I am wrong, welcome! Post roll become the best quitter and I will convert to your determination. If it makes you sad, look in the mirror and repeat..."I am a child of God". As such god loves and values me, I am too valuable to keep living an addicted life. I am quit and will control my addiction starting today.
