Congrats Fastball on mustering the courage to turn things around on the nic bitch. This could be your first step to freedom if you utilize all of the tools on this site. I have to say, IÂ’d give anything to go back in time to tell my younger self about KTC. Us older guys (IÂ’m 34) are disgusted at how much time and money weÂ’ve spent on dip over the years. IÂ’d tried patches, gum, weaning, chantix, pouches, you name it. Nothing worked for me. IÂ’ve now been quit 6 months because of this site which was unimaginable when I started. What makes KTC successful is the accountability that comes with posting roll every day with addicts that are going through the same things you are. Post every day and read as much as you can on this site and you can quit for good. I quit with you today man. If you ever need support just hit me up on PM.

Solid intros are like bright lights to a moth - we just gravitate to them. Baseball...for a time, was my biggest achilles heal. Certainly not like pro/farm ball, but us city-leaguers like to pretend and like the big leaguers we could dip with the best of them. 573 days later and my hindsight is better than 20/20. If I could look at those other players through the same eyes I do now, I'd see things like: unknowing addiction, dependency, false sense of security, stimulants, gum disease, tooth decay, cancer. All of that, and more, is what I see when I look at a dipper. Maybe next time when you look across the dugout at a fellow player grabbing a fat pinch you'll start to see the same.

Post roll every day - figure out how to do it with your phone since you'll often be on the road. Get some numbers so people can post for you if your in a jam. Post roll (i.e. make that promise) every day at all costs. We're all pulling for you - if we had an inkling of your balls to do this at 22, we'd all be better off.

Going great honestly. It's funny because I used to walk around the clubhouse and ball field and wonder how guys DIDNT dip. It just seemed like something you did. But now that I'm off and have been off I see the other side. Not a good habit. And not something I needed to do any longer. Not really struggling with cravings so I'm feeling great. Love the new me so far.
Well done posting Roll.
Don't miss roll.

If your internet doesnt work its legal for you to text someone your promise and they can post roll for you.

Regarding the emotions....

If you post roll EDD ODAAT.

THEY GO AWAY!

I Quit with you today.
Its not a habit....It's an addiction.

I really appreciate your support. You don't understand how much it means considering most of the guys I tell I'm quitting are wondering why and giving me a hard time!! Man baseball is a different life I'll tell you what. But I would definitely be open to exchanging numbers with some guys. Not sure who or where to find them but I think it would definitely help. Also do you suggest doing the roll call?
October 2015 is your group. Roll call is the foundation of this site. Did you see the number next to my name? I haven't missed posting roll a single day and I won't. Freedom is important!

Once you post roll you'll get people reaching out. You are in the right place. And quitting has benefits that you cannot imagine.

Keep your chin up fastball. This is one of those life changing decisions that no one ever regrets making.

Hey fastball, I hate reading stories of famous baseball players diagnosed with mouth cancer. Hopefully you'll throw this shit away and be done with it! Takes alot bigger man to put this shit in the dumpster than it does to put it in his lip! You can do this, it will not be easy but you will have plenty support. You have to reach out and use it. Grab you some fake dip, seeds,gum whatever to help you through it. Oh yeah I'm jealous, pro ball was always a dream of mine but this is about you not me! Quitting with you today my friend!
Hoes the quit going fastball?

Quit Date
June 28 2015
. I've visited KTC before maybe a couple months ago. I had never seriously looked into quitting till the past couple weeks and finally decided to make a legitimate effort last week. June 28th was my last dip and I never want to do it again.
I started dipping casually when I was a sophomore in high school but it was never a serious habit. I played baseball and still do professionally. So needless today dip is a pretty big influence in my life. I'm around it literally every day. I started dipping seriously at the beginning of college and it got its worst this past year as it was my first in professional baseball. Been dipping almost a can a day for about 10 months now
. Long bus rides, countless hours in hotels, sitting in dugouts game after game(I'm a starting pitcher so I literally only play once a week). Dipping became way to prevalent in my life be I realized that and I'm ready to quit forever.
I'm 22 and have always realized I needed to quit at some point and never planned on dipping my whole life. But it was time to actually take action on that notion. I feel like it's pretty common that after you quit you begin to realize how ridiculous the habit was. How you fully understood that it wasn't good for you but continued to use it. And honestly I've been feeling really depressed about this part of it. I have the feeling of letting my family down. Letting my girlfriend down. Just doing something harmful to myself that I could have avoided and hope doesn't affect my life from here on out. I never want to dip again. I could really use some of you guys support on this one especially some of the long time quitters that want to throw some knowledge at me to help me deal with this down feeling I have right now. Probably a result of the nicotine withdrawal why I'm being so emotional right now haha sorry fellas
Great intro, and welcome!

professional baseball? Man what a dream!!! You are I the right place. Her you post your promise daily to yourself and everyone else in your group that for the day, and only that day, you won't use nicotine. And you can do anything for a day if you are a man of your word. Which you obviously are. But... I highly suggest exchanging numbers with a few people on here. Because when you quit as a team, it is stronger than quitting alone. And if you have a moment of vulnerability where you feel weak, sending out a text to a couple of people and seeing the crazy amount of support you will get for them makes this real - you don't let your team down.

Posting daily is essential. Exchanging numbers is essential. And realizing that you are winning is essential too. Enjoy your great life man - you are taking it back!

I am quit with you today!
