Todd,
Welcome and Great Decision. I quit with you right about the same time. Those are excellent reasons to quit, and most importantly quit for yourself. I don't know how much navigation you have done around the site but lose yourself. There is more information than what one person should ever need, but it is all useful (almost all of it). I am sure you will get talk (letter) of posting roll and communications with your fellow quitters so I will leave that to someone more experienced. But, what they tell you is true. This site makes the quit easier. You have done a month without the support here and now we are here to support you the rest of the way. If you ever need anything just hit me up.

I quit with you,
Hogan
Bumping this.

Love seeing a new quitter hit the nail on the head. Intentions are good Todd, but your mindset needs some adjusting. As Hogan said, this quit...MUST be for you and you alone. Sure, we all want to be there for our kids and enjoy life with our families for as long as we can. The thing is, we've all quit for them before and we've all failed. Be selfish. This quit is for you; YOU got to want this more than anything. When you win, they win. They reap the benefits of you being nicotine free. You do this for yourself so that the people you love can enjoy having you around for a long time.

Now that I got that off my chest...just change that "habit" thinking into a realization of your "addiction"...beat the addiction. Habits don't kill, addictions do.

Post roll, get active, and stay quit. Congrats on getting as far as you have before joining KTC - a great attestation to your resolve.
Todd,
You have been given some damned good advice so far. The one key thing I would like to add is you discuss support; I look at it as being accountable. You are now to be held accountable to posting roll daily, making your promise, keeping your promise and staying clean. This site and all of the amazing people that exist here will certainly help facilitate that.

I urge you to ease into it but do more than the minimum, the minimum cost to play is to post roll daily. I urge you to read the other intros of quitters, read through the forum find the stories that will burn into your memory and give you a drive to move past. There will be good days and bad days. When you have a bad day and want to scream at someone please remember that you are an addict because of your choice for 24 years to feed the beast; if you still need to vent go into chat or hell PM me and I will share my cell number with you. Quitting sucks at times, but every day you fight for freedom and see that future you walking your beautiful daughter down the isle with a jaw and all of your teeth...that my friend is when you really "get it".

I am here and will quit with you daily. You can do this because I did too and our stories start the same...24 years an addict myself, 2 years ago I made my choice and now it is your turn.

Happy to have you join me here at KTC, Todd; make sure you post roll every day. You don't have a nicotine habit, you have a nicotine addiction and you will have it for the rest of your life. By stopping dip, you don't stop the addiction, you free yourself from the slavery of having to feed your addiction every hour of your waking life. But you need to admit to yourself this is an addiction, not a habit.

Father's Day Blessing
« on: July 21, 2015, 07:08:00 PM »
My name is Todd, and after 24 years of dipping and chewing tobacco, I decided on Father's Day of this year that is was going to give my wife and 2 daughters a gift, not the other way around. I was going to once and for all, quit the grotesque habit that I had subjected them to for so long. I want to spend the rest of my life with my wife, and be able to walk my daughters down the aisle when they get married. I decided that nicotine was no longer going to have a hold of my life. I am grateful or the support of my family in this, but I joined this forum to also have the support of others who are going through the same experience that I am. I look forward to the great journey ahead and staying tobacco and nicotine free for the rest of my life. Good-bye nicotine, you have one less hold on a sucker!
