Hello all you guys and gals looking and thinking about quitting. Why would you want to continue taking a chance of killing yourself any longer? I dipped 38 year's and consider myself damn lucky to even be writing this! Have you ever stopped and looked up all the chemicals (poison) in dip? Take a minute and look it up, if that don't convince you then maybe you should go to work for the bomb squad because you are definitely flirting with death! Read the stories of how a 17 year old develops cancer after starting dip at age of 14, had scholarship to play baseball never got to live his dreams, had numerous surgeries got married (awful damn good woman to take on a disfigured man, don't mean that in an ugly way) had kids lived to be in his early 30's and died. Don't wait another minute, there's no reason not to quit. Please join, I'm living proof this place works, I've tried numerous times to only return to being a failure! See I never had any support but here its all about brotherhood and accountability, you never have to do this alone. I've made numerous friends that I honestly believe would do more for me than my on family. Another way to look at this is how can you get someone to help you quit that's never been a dipper and has no clue what you're gonna have to deal with! If I thought begging would help you make up your mind I would. I will say I feel better than I have felt in many many years! I quit with you all today! Please, please don't let this opportunity slip by, could be your last! Quit on!
^^^ this guy speaks the truth.

Listen, the first few days suck! But... If you do this the way Pab did, you'll never relive them. He wakes up, posts roll, and keeps his word. Every day. One day at a time.

His first few days sucked too - read what he just typed... Does he sound like he misses nicotine???

You can do this. We will help. One day at a time you can make this a new year that really is the best of your life.

Fuck nicotine. Happy 2016!
Nobody quits harder or with more conviction than Pab. This man lives to QUIT more than anyone I've met on this site so far. He is usually the first to post in our Groupme chat a Good morning or other greeting. He is constantly working on helping new quitters get their feet wet, and then FOLLOWS UP with them everyday to do whatever he can to try and help alleviate or distract the suffering of an early quit. He shows tremendous patience and compassion for those that simply don't get it right away. Pab is a man of strong faith, and from that faith stems strong values, morals, and character -- all while staying humble. This man is a valuable asset in your corner for quitting nicotine and I'm blessed to call him a friend as well.
X2 here! I'm a huge fan of Pan. Took his quit seriously from day one and has lent unbelievable support to the rest if us! This is how you quit with grace and honor.
Nothing to say but I quit with Pab today. Listen to the man!
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Pab, way to go brother! Sorry I didn't congratulate you the other day but just wanted to reach out real quick and thank you for all that you do and have done for this group. You truly are inspiring and I can only hope to be as strong as you. I have to ask, how good do you feel now? Do you have any remaining side effects? If not, how long did it take you to finally feel 100% "free?" I'm just looking for a little pick me up today... 52 days in and no turning back. Still dealing with some mood swings though. Thanks again and God bless!
Joe whether it takes you 50, 100 or 365 being free from the death grips of nic is one of the top greatest things ever! Enjoy every second, good or bad at least your free! And I'm gonna rattle same old thing you've heard 100 times it gets so much better but its different from one to another. Thanks for the support my friend!

To all of you wonderful people that support an addict like myself, I will ever be indebted to each and every one of you! This has been a helluva ride but I must say ,one of the best rides I have ever been on! I will never be able to meet you all here on this earth but maybe the hereafter we can have that big ktc reunion. The support is what's got me this far and now the desire to never go back to being a slave for the feeling of freedom has taken over! I thank God for giving the people the knowledge for starting ktc! And me the opportunity to accidentally find it. The lonley road is no longer lonely and I feel like I know each one of you personally and I truly would love to meet you all! The friendship is priceless! I not only learned how to stop being a slave but also how to deal with problems in everyday situations, all because of this place. The mind is a great tool if used correctly, it also can screw your whole damn life up if you so choose and I did for 38 years. God bless you all and continue on this glorious journey of quit! Damn.....just......Damn
