BigMike, you don't need to apologize. Actually your rants have been quite calm compared to many we have seen on here. AND.....that's what we are here for. We know the withdrawal symptoms and we know it can make you crazy. you can come on here all day every day and yell, scream, and cuss at me AS LONG AS YOU'RE QUIT.

I got to be honest, I didn't give you a fighting chance. I thought after your initial post we would never hear from you again. Your age, well, its just hard to get younger men to quit. So, I was wrong, but there are still many things you are saying that need addressing. Stay on here and learn and you will be quit for life.

Congratulations, Mogul
Mogul,

I love hearing that you didn't give me a fighting chance. It's people like you that make people like me successful, so thank you. I struggled today with some cravings but reading your comment just infuriated me.

Day 9 here I come,

quitting with you today mogul,

ODAAT,

Bigmike

Firstly...primarily....whatever. they really need to start putting the SarcMark on the keyboard. I developed one a long time ago and it is yet been implemented.

Secondly...No. 2 (Ha. Poop!) Hang around here and get to know us and you will see 99% of us are probably more sarcastic or mind twisted than you. Most of us have had YEARS of mastering techniques.

Thirdly...El Tercer Punto....You just came on too strong and we are soooo used to asshats coming in here talking big and bad that we automatically bring out the guns and fire away. You came clean with it. We got a better sense of who you are. So far. It is good.


4th. Make this decision about you and post roll every day. Get involved with this site. TONS of good information on it. Don't let the Anxiety and the Fog get you down. Hang in there. You will be stronger for doing so.

Most of the time when someone reacts the way you have means we hit a tender spot and we are right on the money. If we are wrong, then so be it.

Some of us have had our share of nasty medicine and we know that the nastiest medicine is what works the best. So, do with this what you will. We are addicts. Addicts will do what addicts will do.



Just for today, Self.
Kalpha(I think that is a cool abbreviation btw haha),

you're completely right. When I started this it was mostly due to anxiety. I had some jaw pain and figured that I could just take a break but after the pain subsided I realized that although my intentions at the beginning were wrong I was making the right decision. Since then I've realized there is no need to go back, it's so much nicer not having to have a dip in.

As for how I treated you guys in the beginning I apologize. I was completely joking when I said you guys suck(I've got a weird sacastically honest/blunt sense of humor which I know comes off weird over text), obviously you guys don't this is an awesome community. A lot of it was the pain of the withdrawls and I truly apologize. You guys have triggered a serious desire inside me to prove everyone wrong, so I appreciate it. I am surrounded by hyper competitive people(I'm a college athlete) so when someone says I can't do anything, I prove them the fuck wrong.

Quitting for you and everyone else today,

ODAAT,

No, we don't. Everybody who has been here for any length of time hates dip. It tried to kill us.

I commend you for quitting at a young age. I was using tobacco for longer than you've been alive.

We know how to quit. We will show you how.

The first step is to find the August '16 quit group. Post roll. Promise your group that you will stay quit for the day. Make the same promise tomorrow, and every day after that.

If you haven't yet, read the threads under the Welcome Center.
RDB,

You're right. I do hate what dip has done to me. I thought I loved it for what I thought it did for me like getting over things faster, stress relief, boredom reliever, etc etc but it really is just an awful coping mechanism.

I've been posting roll and I think that that has made this whole thing easier than previous quit attempts.

Thanks for caring about a stranger and thanks for the advice, I think that I am in the "eye of the storm" right now. I made it past the hardest three days and today wasn't bad but I know cravings and triggers will be all over the place and day 7 is going to be tough but I can do it.

ODAAT,

Michael

You guys all suck and I am going to prove you wrong. I locked myself in my room today and just dealt with the lightheadedness and fog, it feels like it's getting better but every time I stand up I get reminded that I still have a long way to go. the light sleeping, from sweating was actually good and I woke up somewhat refreshed even on 6 hours. I had a couple of times where I caught myself thinking "I need a dip" but I brought myself back. I think having money on the line will help during this process.

Also everyone can shut up about me not really wanting to quit. I've been mentally prepared to quit for a month now, constantly telling myself before I go to bed that I don't need dip anymore. Of course I love dip, don't you guys? But I know I will love being clean even more.


I'm going to do this to prove everyone wrong, achieve my goals, keep my $100, and tell my mom her son hasn't chewed in such and such long.

I also want to say that I really do appreciate the suppport(or lack of support) from you guys. I know that I am edgy and cocky as hell right now but I promise that isn't who I am. I'm sure I'll be humbled soon

I quit for all you haters today,

day 3 starts in 1.5 hours,

bigmike33
The number 6 is lame. Hate it.

Post roll. You wanna prove Applejack and the other naysayers wrong? Post roll. When you wake up, get your name on the list; repeat at day 4, 5, the unmentionable day 6...

It works. You'll keep your money. You'll make your mom proud. But most importantly you will win at something they so few guys your age win at. You can do this, but you need to post roll.

PS - I FUCKING HATE DIP.
Yeah, man... get pissed off! Pissed off is usually the first step towards having your eyes opened and hating your addiction.

Remember bro... money on the line is bullshit because it means nothing. What's really on the line is your self worth, your integrity, and... your life. Far more valuable things as a man. Get that name and promise on roll every day. Get involved and stay involved. Get. This. Done.
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

When I came here I quit for Lent, which is a 47 day period, and I was called out in a similar fashion. Your initial post reads like you are stopping for 100 days to win $100.

I also thought that the people posting on my thread were jerks - what do they know, right? Oh yeah, I credit those jerks for saving my life, that's all.

Quitting this addiction is a daily process, at Day 3, Day 10, Day 100, Day 1000. We are addicts, and unless you are quitting 100% for yourself it will never happen. Humility will serve you well these next few weeks, I had to learn it myself.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

You have to worry about quitting one day at a time. Numbers add up over time. All you can do is one day at a time.

I want to first start off by saying this sucks and I'm super pissed off because I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee chewing but I know I need to quit. There is nothing better to coping with life than a nice big pinch in between my lip but this has to stop.
The smell of bs in ths initial post is overwhelming but I'm only gonna lift these 2 sentences out to prove my point...

Your mindset needs to take a drastic turn before you fail miserably. You're still lovin' on the drug that has you addicted. How can that possibly turn into a success for you? Do you enjoy being a slave to a weed... to a chemical? Do you enjoy pissing your money away? Do you enjoy paying UST to slowly kill/poison/disfigure you?

Look, man... nothing about dip does anything you think it does. It owns you. How does that feel?

Spend more time here....soak up the wisdom. Soak up the truth. You need it...
I agree with this. The only way to actually quit is to hate nicotine  tobacco. I used to do the same, hell we all did at some point. Then we realized that we aren't going to kill ourselves just to get a quick fix. You know what is better than putting in a big pinch to cope with life? Not killing yourself. Its gonna be really hard to cope with life when that's gone eh?

You need to learn to hhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatte tobacco and nicotine in all its forms.

I agree with Apple Jack. At this point your odds for a successful quit are very low. Very, very low.

Block out an hour or two. Read the forums here and the main KTC site. Dip does nothing for you. Ok, it does do something. It kills you. It disfigures you. It makes your breath stink. It stains your teeth and makes your gums recede. You'll probably be wearing a partial plate before you're 60.

Dip does nothing positive.

Get serious about your quit, or don't bother.
