My name is Jason. I have been chewing on and off since I was about 18 and I turn 40 next March.
Like a lot of you I grew up in a farm town and the first dip was taken because one of my farming buddies asked if I wanted to try it. I did and that had me hooked.
Throughout the years I have quit and started back up over and over. I have tried hypnosis, therapy, acupuncture and they (or I) have always failed.
I met my wife about 16 years ago and told her that I would quit chewing. Didn’t happen I just hid it from her. Kept telling her I would quit when we had kids and didn’t happen, I just kept hiding it from her. I had said all along that I need a support group of people who chewed that can help me through this and so the last time she caught me chewing I did some research and found this site.
Today is my day 1 quit and I am ready to take back my life from dip. I am ready to be able to be honest with my wife and not hide it from her anymore. I am ready to quit for my kids so I can watch them grow old. And I am ready to quit for myself. No more Dip!!
Welcome Jason
You’ve come to the right place, and I’m glad to see you’ve made it on roll. This place will absolutely work, as long as you are ready to step up and really make an effort to understand how and why KTC works.
Your story is pretty much the exact same as many others on here.. we even have a term for it ..”ninja dipper.” Coming clean to your wife will be essential here, it’s going to be a rough road, but this is the first step in coming to terms with your addiction.
Post roll every morning bright and early. This is your promise to remain nicotine free for the day.. because we take it one day at a time here ..forever is a scary word and just doesn’t resonate with us. Make an effort to reach out to your group members and vets alike, exchange digits, build up an accountability network..you’re going to need it. My digits are a PM away.
Proud to quit with you.
