Welcome to KTC, @silty00 . I see you posted your day 2 promise on the January roll today, so that's freaking awesome. You've come to the right place and done the right thing...but only if you're serious about being quit. There is no progressive verb "quitting" here. None of us are "in the process of" quitting. We are quit.

Whether you were a slave to the Nicodemon for a year or for almost 30 years like me, it's all the same. The drug had you. Here you will find freedom from it through accountability and brotherhood. That's the KTC formula: Accountability + Brotherhood = Success. It does not fail unless you let it. You make a daily promise - early - to yourself and to your brothers and sisters here. What is your word worth? We want to know because that's what you're giving us.

Drink plenty of water, exercise, avoid triggers when you can, read as much as you can on the site to educate yourself, trade digits with the people in your group, and stay in touch with them. Being active on the site helps, I promise.

You did a good thing for today. Now, tomorrow do it again. We believe in ODAAT-EDD:  One Day At A Time, Every Damn Day. Glad you're here, Silty00. Now do what it takes to stay here.

Day 2 - quitting for good
« on: October 21, 2020, 04:13:17 PM »
Hey guys, this is my first time posting on KTC. I started dipping on a trip to the US (I'm Canadian) in Aug. 2019. I was with my sister, her fiancé and his brother. My sister's fiancé and his brother wanted to stop at a tobacco store since dip is so much cheaper in the states (it's about 27 bucks for a can of Copenhagen long cut here). I was intrigued and bought a can of grizzly mint pouches, some grizzly long cut and a pouch of Red Man. By the end of that trip I didn't realize it yet but I was hooked. Throughout the past year I've fuelled my addiction with extra strong snus and nicotine pouches from Europe. I In the summers, I work out of a pretty remote town in Northern BC (I work in the Forest industry). This summer I started buying Copenhagen pouches and long cut from the gas station since it was all I had available to me.

It took me a long time to accept that I actually had a problem. Looking back, it seems so obvious to me. I knew I didn't want to dip for the rest of my life and I don't like who I am when I'm under the control of nicotine. It very quickly became the most important thing in my life, and all I really seemed to care about was the next buzz. I'm quitting because I know I have to. I've attempted stop a few times but never took it seriously enough and always managed to fool myself into buying more. I know now that I cannot control my use of dip and I can never start again. Deep down I've been very unhappy with myself and my lack of discipline and control since I started dipping. I always felt that I was a strong person until I fell into the clutches of nicotine. I've done a lot of things that I'm not proud of including lying. I'm more ready than ever to never put that shit in my mouth again.

Quitting dip is how I plan to redeem myself and build back my self respect.

Proud to be here.
