Day 1

[Zeus]

now ready to commit to being dip free.

I've tried a handful of times to quit in the past but never with any help or accountability.

The power this stuff has over me is incredible and scary.

I am an absolute slave to tobacco.

 I am grateful that I found this community of people that face the same challenge and have over come it, ODAAT.

Instead of being 'ready to commit', how about you 'commit'?

Commit to be quit. Quit is a state of being. There is no trying...you simply are or you aren't.

The only "power" it has is only the power you believe to give it. It's a can of dead leaves. It didn't do a damn thing for you. You did everything yourself. You believed a lie. Once you realize the lie, it has no more power.

Quit and you will say "Tobacco is my bitch."

Don't just find the community. Be a part of it. It makes a huge difference. Anybody who is quitting alone is shirking away from accountability because they are giving themselves an "out".  Blow those outs up.

Hi everyone,

Day 1 here for me. I finished my last can this morning and am now ready to commit to being dip free. I've tried a handful of times to quit in the past but never with any help or accountability. The power this stuff has over me is incredible and scary. I am an absolute slave to tobacco.

Been dipping since I was 16, I'm 29 now. The last couple of years my addiction has really accelerated and I go through about 1.5 - 2 tins per day. There is seldom a moment during the day that I don't have a lip, and I work from home so it makes it much easier to dip throughout the day.

I quit drinking, I've run a marathon, have a great relationship and job, but the can owns me. It's the biggest challenge I've ever faced and I am grateful that I found this community of people that face the same challenge and have over come it, ODAAT.

@samsquanch9799 - noticed you haven't posted in your group of August or since your post on the 22nd. The shit in here is real if you want to quit but you have to want it. I cant remember wanting to quit at 30 but really wish I would have. You have chance to do something really good for yourself here if you take it, dont let the Can pimp you out to the c-store anymore. Say no more nicotine and post that promise every morning.  I know you can, I've seen it happen over and over. Do it for your future self, trust me it will thank you.

Welcome @samsquanch9799  You have come to the right place to quit nicotine.  Follow this link to the August quit group and post roll today and everyday.  https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=16445.0
My story is similar to yours.  I started at 16 and am now 35.  Thanks to KTC, accountability,  and the relationships I have developed here I am now 247 days quit. 
You can do this ODAAT.  Send me a PM if you want my digits for accountability, I am happy to help in any way I can.
