Took my last dip out at 4pm Arizona time Wednesday, January 27th.

I'm fully aware my addiction was to nicotine.

I should clarify that both times previously I had eventually stopped using nicotine and tobacco.

I am not currently nicotine-free for 22.5 hours.

bmalo (I'm copying what I said to CT so you will see the same thing) - welcome to KTC. Here we post our promise each day not to use any form of nicotine for that day and we post in the morning to our group. You will be part of the May 2016 Pre-HOF Group. There you will have other quitters who will help you along with your quit each day.

At KTC we quit cold turkey. No weening...just dump what you have right now and today is your Day 1. There is no room for caving otherwise this site would be just a bunch of cavers and people coddling each other when they cave to try again. It can be a bit rough but if you want to quit, you will see soon after you start that it does work and will work for you.

Glad to have you here and I quit with you today!

wait - if you have been nic free for 22.5 hours then today is your day 2 and yesterday was your quit date.

The weird part is that in the past, the quitting hasn't been too bad.

That's because you didn't even come close to quitting.

What you need to understand is that "chew" isn't your addiction... nicotine is. Each time you stopped (not quit) you were still flooding your body full of the substance you are addicted to.

This is a No Nicotine site and method of quitting. Real man style cold turkey quitting. No patches... no gum... no suppositories... no e-dildos.

Get your name on roll... let's do this for real. You ready?

Hey guys, new here. I'm 32 and have been tobacco-free for 20 hours. I started dipping when I was 19. I did it for a few years and did haphazard attempts to quit here and there. Anytime I went to the dentist and they gave me the green light for good teeth/gums, I'd go buy a can on the way home.

I quit for 6 months with the help of patches back in 2013 with no intention on starting again. Life was great. Then, I picked up a second job doing janitorial stuff and started off with actual Chaw and bubble gum, thinking it'd be something to do while working. Well, that turned into going to pouches as I convinced myself it was "real dip". I eventually ended up back with Cope. A few years go by and my wife and I are getting ready to have our first kid. I decide it's time to stop again so I picked up nicorette gum with the help of herbal tobacco. I was tobacco-free for 2 weeks and wasn't even feening for a dip, all was well. Then I went golfing with some buddies and my friend brought him some wintergreen Cope. It was always his fav but I had never had it. I tried it and it almost knocked me on my rear end. I was hooked. Again.

August 2015 I had 2 biopsies on portions of my gums for cancer due to luek., they turned out benign but was told to stop. The other night, I noticed a patch on the inside of my cheek that I felt with my tongue. I went to the bathroom to look and noticed a gnarly lesion. I can't remember if it's from me biting it earlier in the day or from something else. Seemed pretty intense for it to be there out of nowhere. Anyway...my son is 14 months and it's time to quit for good.

The weird part is that in the past, the quitting hasn't been too bad. The first few days are kind of rough but going from a can a day to nothing a day was a little easier than I thought. This first day has been easier than the previous ones and it's even more stressful time at work/home.

Also, once I started dipping again...I kept it a secret from my wife, friends, coworkers. It was an intense thing to keep silent for 3 years but I made it happen. Looking forward to not doing that again.
