General Discussion - 2013

[Nolaq]

Are there no more discussions or discussion groups in the HOF groups?  All I see is roll call and no discussion....boring.

You talking in new groups?

We did an experiment last month with breaking out discussion / roll and it didn't take. Any suggestions?

I just thought I was missing something when I scrolled through page after page of just roll call in the quit groups and no discussion.

So what happened to all that Dec 13 stuff? Did you merge all that?

Tell her we're all wondering, too.

Can you say embarassing, moving to a new corpoate office today, the movers lift up my credenza and out rolls a can of copenhagen dated October 10th, 2005. They looked at me like your a dipper?, no I was a dipper. Told them about the site because one had the cope ring in the back pocket,  we will see.

Nic bitch trying to sneak back in after all these years... Fuck her :)

We had a small leak in our gym. I'm up on a ladder popping ceiling tiles. Found an empty can dated 2009.

My wife was like, "You used to hide your stash up in the ceiling? What the Hell is wrong with you?"

Never again.

For any reason.

Hello
Just a quick question.
I am currently a dipper, plan on quitting soon.
However just wanted to ask around here if any current/ex dippers experience skin redness under your mouth in the area where you hold your dip?
I've been dealing with what a dermatologist diagnosed me with as "perioral dermatitis" which is basically a rash around the mouth. It's not even really a rash just a persistant redness on my skin where I hold my dip (I switch sides all the time)
However I think it's really something to do with the pressure of holding a dip inside your mouth causing the redness on the outside of it. I dip a lot, unfortunately.
I've been looking at various pictures of dippers on dipper groups on facebook and notice 9 out of 10 of them have some sort of acne/redness around of their mouths. I see it in a lot of wintergreen/flavored dippers, not so much with Natural dips- like Cope LC
Anyone on here ever experience such a thing?
Thanks in advance

I would follow my personal intuition on it and quit stuffing poison in my mouth.

Join us now, why wait? Don't prolong your suffering by cutting down, it usually doesn't work.

I won't lie to you, you are looking at a trip through some serious fog, and unsettling time. But we have all been through it and we can help you get through it.

Don't be stupid! After the red rash you'll probably get white patches, open sores, receding gums, tooth loss, have gum grafts and keep right on flirting with cancer. What is there to think about? Quit NOW!!!

It's just one day - - - - I'll quit tomorrow.
That's your addiction talking to you.

So what's stopping you from quitting right now? Try it!
Take quitting minute by minute
then hour by hour
until you're doing it day by day!

This site and these quitters here, including me, will help guide you ....

No one can make or force you to quit - - - - - - it lies within you.

Remember it's just one day - - - why not today?

I did ... 2,471 days ago. If I can do it! I believe you can too!

It (whatever it is) can't heal if you continue to put dip there. Surely you are smart enough to realize that. Flush it and get on board at KTC.

Capster - stop trying to rationalize your addiction and just QUIT. We all know that chew is poison and it's going to do nasty things to your body. Throw out the can, post roll and be quit today. Come back tomorrow and repeat. Your problems will not get better unless you QUIT NOW.

New Blog Post: It Turns Out Maybe ThereÂ’s A Method To Our Madness
http://blog.killthecan.org/2013/10/it-t ... r-madness/

This is great. I have been wanting to see things like this. I love being able to show other people facts.

"You still don't want to quit? Here is the scientific method. Argue with that. You're addict. Let me and science help you."

What's funny is that when we were at the Smokeless Summit in August, every other group out there wants what we have: quitters that write about their experiences, quitters that help others through the process, and quitters that are willing to be proactive in the fight against nicotine.

We sat at our table with 6 binders full of testimonials. We showed them how active our quitters are. We are the cutting edge.

As of this second, we're approximately 20 members away from number 20,000.  Wow!

I've been telling everyone I know that chews about this site. Growing our numbers and helping more lost sheep find their way home.

We're actually getting close to 17,000...

But I LOVE the fact that you're out and about pimping the site... awesome job man! The more the merrier... it's what makes us the best on the web!!!

I like to give out KTC business cards.
Here's a template you can use to print your own.

AWESOME!!! There are a lot of cards that float around in my world. Going to pass those out. I have been hounding two guys that work for my organization and I see regularly. As a professional mentor in a work setting where dipping is prevalent, I feel I have a lot of influence.
