Alright, to start this off, I never introduced myself to the community. The nickname that I have had for years and what many people know me as is AceBoogie. I started Dipping when I was a junior in high school. I still remember the first time that I filled my lip with poison. I was with my friends, and my buddy had just turned 18, so to "celebrate" he bought a can of Copenhagen Wintergreen. We all decided that the best way to celebrate was to take a lipper with him. How fucking stupid could I be. Early on I convinced myself that if I dipped tasty flavors that it't not as bad for you and there is less of a chance of addiction (makes sense if you are fucking retarded). Ever since that day, if I wasn't eating or sleeping I had a dip in my mouth. What started as a one time "celebration" turned into a 7 year addiction. I went from one dip to two cans a day within that very year, and it stayed like that.
Time and time again I "tried" to quit, but as well all know here, there is no "trying" only "doing." When I first tried to quit dipping, it wasn't because I wanted to, it was because of how people looked at me and how my family looked at me. I didn't want to quit. I loved the nic bitch and she loved me. Recently, as of March 25, 2016, that changed. I woke up, flushed my 2 cans I bought the night before, and struggled my ass through day 1. It wasn't until that night that I found KTC and posted roll for the first time. I didn't want to dip anymore. I didn't want to have nicotine control my life. I wanted to quit, and that's what I am doing every damn day. I am quitting one day at a time, not for my family, not for my girlfriend, but for me. I AM quitting. I am not "trying" to quit.
Nice Intro AceBoogie - cool nickname too. It is amazing how a split second stupid decision can lead us into a lifelong addiction.
I am impressed you quit - then found KTC and so quickly get what it takes to be quit. This is the best decision you will ever make and life will get so much better for you - one day at a time. Quit with you EDD. CJ
Nice intro. You quit for you and everyone else just gets to benefit too.
Thank you. I think there is a certain point in life when you really just get tired of people not believing in you and telling you you can't do it, when time and time again you have proved them right. This is one of those times the I am going to prove them wrong for the rest of my life. I think that the understanding of what it takes to be quit is quite simple really, to be quit, no exceptions, you just have to want it badly enough.
Hey Ace, it's like Gmann just said,...who cares about whether other people believe in you or not. When it comes to quitting, there is only one person who matters and that's Ace Boogie.
WooHoo Aceboogie!!!
Great intro man, and I'm proud to quit with you brother,
With you as well. I told my buddy about this site, and he said "what can a bunch of strangers really do for you?"
He was very dismissive of KTC. I told him that it is one big ass brotherhood where they hold you accountable for your actions you for theirs.
He then said that "it's so easy to lie online."
I mean he's right, but I pride myself in being honest, and supporting others who are trying to quit as well. I enjoy helping people, and ultimately I take it personal when I put my efforts in and they cave. Had one in our group that I busted my ass with pep-talks and tried to get him hyped. I thought it worked but it just didn't take. He didn't want to quit. However, I don't help people because they need it. I help them because I want to and often times people are too damn stubborn to ask for help.
THAT is why I love KTC, everyone on here is out to help, not out to criticize judge you because you used nicotine earlier in your life. Thank you brothers/Sisters and Quit on!
