A bit of a struggle

[Matt F]

One more thing that is the most important: post roll, every day in the October group. That is your pledge not to use nicotine for today. You can quit for one day, you give your word. You wake up and repeat tomorrow God willing. Will look in roll for your post today.

[FIGHTIN-IGNORANCE]

Tratliff, dude you can kick this shit! Don't let the Nic Bitch tell you different. She will pick at you rub your inner thigh, graze your penis, may even lick the tip, but you can't cave. Cause once she gets you to let her put it in her mouth she in going to bite it.

She don't care about you she only wants the power and control. Dude, I started dipping when I was 13/14yrs old with high school football boys as well. I wanted to fit in the crowd and be a part of something. But the Nic Bitch didn't care about that. She wanted me for myself. The bitch promised so much bullshit up front and then takes it away because the addiction takes over. The acceptance, friendship, false sense of security she provides at first becomes lies, ninja dipping, guilt, shame, embarrassment, gum disease, tooth decay, cancer, and death. Not to forget, the isolation that begins to become a part of our everyday life because we think we "need" the bitch. She has you and me by the balls!!!!!!!!!

I am on day 15. You can be here soon just use this site and set your mind to it. Tell her to

It is time for you to take back the position of wearing the pants in your life.

I quit with you today Tratliff. Look at all the others who are doing it with you. You can do this. Now DO IT! ODAAT!

Well...you could read a million article on or off line about how to relieve stress and not one would talk about spewing brown posionous slime into an empty mountain dew bottle.

You weren't spitting your stress away.  All you were doing was relieving the withdrawl pang that was going off in your head, that slowly started to tick the second you spit out your last chew.

You're giving dip too much credit.  It cannot relieve stress or make your life any easier. Your an addict.  Your addicted brain just THINKS it can.  In fact dip only ADDS to the stress of every day life.

Think about it.  You just got out of school, your newly engaged, you have a stressful job, and your going to start law school.  Add to that, that you constantly have to feed this beast of a time bomb that keeps ticking in your head.  What are you feeding it?  A posionous DRUG.  That's right, nicotine is posionous and a drug.  That combo can destroy your gums, decay your teeth to the point of losing them, eat away your inner lip, numb and cut up your tongue, kill your taste buds, increase your blood pressure, drain your pocketbook,  and all the while your chances of cancer increase every time you feel that "action" of cracking open a new can, which ultimately can kill you.  That's some real stress relief , eh?

Bitch of it is, after reading all that you no doubt still want to put a dip in, because you are an addict.  No different than a crack fiend jonsin for a rock, except your rock is a tin of posion weeds in a can.

So how do you right the ship?  First off you REALLY have to want to quit, for YOU. Not for your dentist, not your fiance, not for your family, but YOU.

Your first yet most important step now is to join up with a bunch of quitters who are in the same boat as you and post a promise every morning to them and to yourself that you will not use nicotine for the day.  Don't worry about tomorrow, next week, next month or even next year.  Simply worry about quitting for today.

Go to the top left part of the page and read the welcome center to learn how to post roll.

Along the way you will hit craves, funks, rage, happiness, sadness, fog, confusion, and god knows what else.  When you have questions about that shit, come here and we will help you.

Ok. I think I've said too much shit now, but I really want to see you quit and so does everyone else on this site.

Freeing yourself from this NASTY addiction will be one of the most rewarding things you will ever do.  The freedom you will feel is unreal.  The only regret I have about quitting, is that I didn't do it sooner.

Welcome to ktc.  Hope to see you around and involved for a long time to come.  If you're really jonsin and your mind can only think about chew, come here and READ EVERYTHING.  IT WILL HELP.

Hope I helped.  You got this.

I'll second what that bad ass quitter ^^^ diesel said. He knows what he's talking about.

I'm not a bad ass. I'm a dumb ass...just ask my wife.

WT is the man. Put him in your corner. He's like Mick from Rocky.

I find great strength and motivation in your 8+ hours of quit. I remember that anxiety. I remember that pain and desperation. I remember that strength and commitment and pride. What you have accomplished is no small feat. Congratulations.

The thought of quitting for good shouldn't be your main concern right now. Worrying about being able to quit through the week shouldn't even be a concern. Take your quit one day at a time. Anyone can quit for a single day. If that seems too great, take it one hour at a time. Anyone can quit for an hour. If that seems too great at times, take it one craving at a time. Anyone can fight through any individual crave.

I've been quit over 5 years and I still take this one day at a time. I still post roll daily. Have my past 8 hours been easier than yours? Hell yes. Have my past 8 hours been as impressive and hard-earned as yours? Hell no.

When all seems hopeless, remember this pain. This fucking sucks. But the freedom and strength on the other side is amazing. Trust me, quitting chewing tobacco will positively affect your life in ways you cannot imagine right now. Each temptation that you overcome builds character.

Caving is not an option. You are an addict. You will always be an addict. But us non-using addicts have a perspective on the world that many others will never experience. Life is good.

I hope that this site can help me to kick this horrible addiction. My name is Tyler and I am twenty two and have been dipping for five years. I feel bad for saying but I have  only been without a dip for 8 hours now. I guess we all have to start somewhere. I really need to reach out to people who understand whats going on and I feel like this is the place to find that. I started when I was 17 my junior year of high school. It all started out when I played football in high school and the Grizzly pouches. My friends who had been dipping longer than me got me into the habit and its been a problem ever since. The pouches enabled me to hide it in class from teachers and my parents. That all changed once I got to college. It wasn't acceptable to dip pouches anymore it was now longcut and with the stress of my first year of college I was dipping a can a day sometimes two. I have tried quitting over my four years of college. Tried the sunflower tricks and gum and things along those lines. Everytime I tried to quit it wasnt just the dip buzz I was missing but the action of dipping. The feeling of cracking into a new can and packing my lower lip and holding that empty mountain dew bottle and spitting all my stresses away. So needless to say I went back to dipping. It didnt make it any better everytime I went to gas stations around campus they were always handing out coupons for discounted cans or free cans or something to get me to want dip. I dont have an addictive personality when it comes to other things in life but dip was just comforting to me. Now that I have gotten out of college and recently engaged I want to quit this habit. Its almost midnight here on the east coast and have been without the dip for 8 hours and I cant stop grinding my teeth and wanting a dip so bad. I want to do this for my health. I am tired of the dentist yelling at me, hiding it from loved ones and disappointing my fiance. With a stressful job, newly engaged and starting law school next year im not sure at this point I can make it past next week. That is why Im trying to reach out to people here for help. I have been reading stories online and looking at horrific pictures to try to scare the crap out of me but I feel as if I just need to hear experiences and have support. So if anyone can help that would make a world of difference. Thanks

Great decision to quit. You will find support here. Those first hours sure are tough. I will pm you my number if you need anything. Some long time quitters and mods will guide you through posting roll and all that stuff. Congrats again and I quit with you

We don't try, we do. We fucking do. How? Go to the welcome center link at the top of this page. Don't just read that thread read everything this forum offers. Great choice on quitting.
