Hi Tony.

Yes, you do need to quit for yourself, but please, use your family as motivation for sure! Afterall, if you are not selfish now, and make your quit the most important thing, you may not be here for those people anyway right? They go hand in hand yes. You just be selfish...claim your life....claim if for yourself and then add the "and my family".

Keep on quitting Tony....!

That makes sense. Thanks ginet. Sorry I spelled your name wrong in my intro
From another black belt ninja. For 40+ years I was a lying piece of shit, quitting sucks but it gets better and the freedom is better than any dip I ever had.
I hid my dipping from everyone too...I am glad that for the first time in a while I don't have to carry that and so will you!

Welcome, Tony.

Ex-ninja dipper in NYC, on and off pouches for 4 years. I'm 28. Right now I have 60+ nic-free days under my belt and it feels great.

One of the elements on the Quit philosophy here on KTC is the notion that the priority should be to Quit for YOU YOU YOU- seemingly based on the premise that all other motivations will ultimately lead to a cave.

While I agree with this in spirit, some members on here take it a little too far. Even to the point to criticize you because you said you are "quitting for my family."

Don't listen to their BS. If your wife and daughter are your motivation, then by all means, let that drive you to the HOF and beyond. Whatever works, just do it.

Everyone thinks they understand the psychology of the cave. But ultimately we are all members of a digital group, accountable to ones and zeros in the form of text on a screen.

Come here and read the stories to keep your motivation levels high, and post roll DAILY to keep your promise to the other ones and zeros on here, and you will be free.
Habits begin as cobwebs and end up as chains.

Awesome intro. Re-read it often. Remember how you feel now. So you will never get back there again. Good luck.

Hello,

My name is Tony and I've been quit now for 10 days. I've been a dipper for 12 years and an underground ninja dipper for the past year. In 2011 my wife and I agreed to quit together (she smoked) after we we're blessed with the news that we were expecting our first child. Nothing before that even made me ponder a quit. I dipped when i played golf, i dipped at work, i dipped in the shower. Doesn't matter where i was I probably had a dip in and I really didn't concern myself with the consequences, being in my mid 20's with no real responsibilities. I "stopped" dipping cold turkey in 2011 and continued to be nic free for two years. With my wife as my support system and the fear of letting her down I wouldn't go back to the nic bitch and would live my life dip free. That was until i folded like a little bitch. I told myself it was OK to just have one... i deserved it. We bought a home and i spend 9 months working on it so that my wife and child could have a great place to live. I succeeded and my prize was one last dip. For the next year i dipped and no one knew it. Not my wife, not my best friends, no one. At first i would make excuses to leave the house. "Babe, I'm making spaghetti tonight and we are out of Parmesan cheese" was my secret code for "tony is low on grizzly." after a while i graduated to black belt ninja and dipped in front of her, i dipped in front of everyone...even at work. no one knew. i was a master of my craft. I should get a medal for how awesome i was at hiding my habit.
No Tony...really you're just a piece of shit. you're lying to the woman you love who gave her word to quit and still has to this day while you leave the house to be with your other woman, the nic bitch. What a great example you have set for your child...it's OK to lie to those you love and to poison your own body and slowly kill yourself so your daughter can one day walk down the aisle by herself.
OK, that last line brought some emotion to me as I type this because I am quitting for me but more so i am quitting for my family. My wife and my daughter. I've been trying to quit for a while. i would get through a day and cave, two days...and cave. No more cave for me. I'm 10 days strong now and when i discovered this site i told myself i would not type this letter of revival until i made 10 days. here i am now with a new milestone to reach....100 days. i can and i will do it and so early in my quit i have this site to thank for it. I've been on the live chat almost every night. People like MNBEN, Bronc, Grizzlyhasclaws, and minet (sp?) show love to us newbies and lead us on a path that they have themselves been through. They are tough and as soon as you logon want to know how many days you are and make you accountable for posting roll. i thank them for that and anyone else out there trying to quit i highly recommend the live chat. Thank you for reading
Welcome Tony. You're a lucky guy to have found this site. Your story is shared by many here. Initially we think we're the biggest pieces of shit out there, especially us ninja dippers that lie our family, but we learn from our brothers and sisters here that we're just average pieces of shit along with the others. That feels good, we share that past burden. Now let us support your path going forward.
Let this site become your new addiction, follow the rules and you'll have an unthinkably higher chance of success than you had in your previous quit attempts.

Proud to quit with you today.
Don't sell yourself short Deerman ... you're a tremendous piece of shit. (JK)

He's right though Tony, you are not alone here... we all share the issue at hand. We're addicts. You've come upon an excellent toolbox and family for use in your quit ... it's up to you to use them to their fullest potential. Get engaged, post roll every day, lean on your brothers here. Everyone is walking the same path, and it leads to freedom. Don't make 100 days your goal, make today your goal. Quit for today, then wake up and do it again. That is an attainable goal ... and as a man of honor you will not go back on your promise when it only involves on day, right?

Welcome bro, PM me for my digits if you want some additional accountability.
My personality is who I am, my attitude depends on who you are.
