One can, half a can, three cans, tucan fucking Sam. It don't matter. An addicts an addict.

You're no more addicted than me or any less addicted than Tom, Dick or Harry on Ktc.

You're on the installment plan to death.

We all were.

Your fantasy about quitting at midnight is just that...a fantasy. That shit always sounds better in your head than it plays out it real life.

And if you been finger fucking three cans a day, you aren't feeling any "rush" when you load up. The law of diminishing returns set in a looong time ago on your ass. You aint even getting 1/16 of a buzz when you chin dip. Your addicted brain is telling you it's time for poison. Nothing more.

Tonight wont be easy. New Years Eve...it's like a day MADE for dipping. People getting shit faced sucking down lung darts, guys thinking they are hot shit smoking down cigars the size of boat oars, metro sexuals and nickles trying to be dime women "vaping" on e-cigs. Why not be the dude with a lip full of shit spitting into a red solo cup or two fisting it with one bottle of beer and bottle of spit. New Years Ever is a fucking nicotine palooza.

Then...at midnight when the ball drops in Time Square you promise, "TOMORROW, IM DONE!!!". Then tomorrow comes and you find some bullshit reason to go on, and the years start adding up. Who knows if that dip you throw in just before the ball drops is the on that starts the cancer process, and ultimately leads to death.

I'm sure their are thousands on here who have promised to quit as a new years resolution....and have failed.

Looks like you have grown a pair though and decided to draw a line in the sand. Well done!!!!

You say you HAVE NOT and WILL NOT use nicotine today.

That's the magic formula around here, Bub.

Fuck yesterday and don't worry about tomorrow. Focus on today.

You get stuck and shit is getting bat shit crazy, come here. Get in chat, read stuff, vent, tell me to go fuck myself...whatever it takes to keep the shit out of your mouth.

You're doing the right thing by doing this NOW.

The best time to quit is today. The worst time to quit is tomorrow.

You got this.

Quit on...

Thanks gentlemen. I must admit this fucking sucks. I'm light headed, I have a massive headache, and I feel like there is a hole in my soul. Just taking it one minute at a time and hoping to feel human again soon.
It's amazing how deep the nicbitch had her claws in your mental and phyisical and emotional life, isn't it? And how hard she fights back when you neglect her. You have to fight harder than her, but you can do it. Perseverence wins in the end. Your body was made to be without nicotine, but the evil of the addiction doesn't go away without you earning some peace and freedom. It will be worth it.

You bastards are hardcore. I have fantasized about my last dip for awhile now. It would be New Years Eve and I'd have some beers and then feel the rush for one last time. I was angry at this board for not cutting a newbie some slack. Going from 3 cans a day to nothing is asking too much. You guys have no idea what I'm going through. I went on and on in my mind making excuses.

Everything I thought is what a weak dick addict would think. Well today I'm not one anymore. I didn't know it at the time but I had my last dip yesterday right before I posted my intro. I can't speak for tomorrow yet but I promise myself that I HAVE NOT and I WILL NOT use nicotine today.

By the way, I want each of you hardcore bastards to know you made a difference in a strangers life and for that I thank you.
Way to go, you have that many hours under your belt now at least! And, you already had one big headache before you quit- you'll get another- the nic bitch thinks that'll work until you teach her it won't anymore. You'll get all sorts of tricks. Work through them, blow through them, get through them one at a time. You can do this - you are tough enough, you are ready enough, you are open enough to listen to others and let them help you.
I'm quitting with you today. Way to go!

Hey part of the reason you never quit is because you have always done it your way....and you my friend are an ADDICT! Being an ADDICT, you are going to find a way to continue using. Here is the deal dump, destroy, throw away all items that have to do with nicotine. Clean out you car and house.....Grab something to keep you mouth busy such as seeds, gum, hard candy, toothpicks, fake chew. Work out, have sex, drink water, and avoid alcohol. You need to listen because we have ALL been where you are. We are here to help but while you are still using you are WEAK and there is no room for weakness in a QUIT.

Love your 'sarcasm' Diesel! No luck involved in quitting and tomorrow may never come. So flush the shit now and quit listening to that addicted mind.

Weaning off the nic addiction does not work. You just have to quit and deal with the process. You are wasting time. Why not just man the F up and quit right now?

CCB, what are you waiting for? Seriously, make the commitment now. How many times have you said I'll quit on X day? You never know, tomorrow might be the day that cancer starts because you needed one more day. Grab you sack, flush your stash and man up. We are here to support you and want to see you succeed!

Looks like you are like a lot of us on here. Started in teens, used for many years, tried to quit/took a break, and just one led you back down the wrong path.

Well this is the place, and now is the time, Yes dump all that you have and make that decision deep down to quit this time.

Look at yourself in the mirror and say I am quit for today.

then post roll

Do that day after day , and with us here to stand shoulder to shoulder with you in our journey we can win.

Congratulations on recognizing 1) that you're an addict and 2) you need help. Your story is a perfect example of why each and every day we take our quit one day at a time (ODAAT) and that this will become a way of life for us as long as we stay quit. What hits home even more is that you had quit for 5 years,Â…and then one bad decision in a 1 minute span brought you all the way back to where you started, and possibly in the hole deeper. I'm 19 days into my quit as of this writing and having seen some veteran posts, they don't see their quit any different than mine, even if we're 1000 days apart. Because, as you describe, all it takes is 1 bad split second, impulsive decision, whether your a 5 year quitter or 2 day quitter.

You're going to get hit up with some serious veteran knowledge and we'll be on you to post roll and make sure you make that daily promise to yourself and your fellow brothers here at KTC, that you will not use nicotine for that day. I look forward to posting and making that promise with you day in and day out.
