There's nothing more depressing than starting a new quit group (with all of the anticipation of watching and helping some new quitters kill the can) only to find cavers starting all over again!!

I'm all for helping our weaker brothers find success and victory.
I'm just sayin' it sure can be depressing sometimes . . . . .


:angry: :angry: :angry:
It can be depressing for sure... but NEVER let someone else's failure affect your quit. I always use someone else's cave as a way to make my quit STRONGER. Remember... you're never going back. Look at their failure as further proof that the fight isn't over, regardless of how many days you've got under your belt.

You know when you're an addict when:

I was playing so badly in golf yesterday and it actually crossed my mind that it was because I wasn't dipping. Pathetic. I always believed I was an addict, but this was the first time it actually hit home for real.... too bad I won anyway. I played like shit, but had fun, and didn't dip. F you nic bitch. And thank you killthecan

Chewie, that's awesome. Good job to you and the whole admin team for reaching out again. I'm proud to be a part of this community...for 36 days now. Are you saying that if we feel led, to join as members over there also? I'd be glad to see if I can help because ultimately it's MY quit that would be helped. Thanks for the time and good work this entire community does.
Not speaking for chews but yes. Join. Post rolll as support.

Add WTP to your social media pages. The more times the name is put out there, the faster it will move up On search engines. That will be key to growing the place.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi. I am new here and need some help please. I quit about a week ago but today has been rough. I used some fake mint snuff but I don't think it's working.
Haas - I'm not sure what to say except that gmann hit it 110%. Go to the introductions and post an intro, you will have all the support in one thread of your own. You will be amazed how many strangers care about you. Read the welcome center. Most important, post roll in October. Now.

I dip that stuff as well, combined with posting roll and being accountable. That works for me.

Well, you're not wrong, it's NOT working. You're addicted to nicotine and the Oregon Mint Snuff does NOT contain nicotine. The no tobacco/no nicotine products help with the oral fixation facet of our addiction, but not the nicotine addiction. The most important thing you can do right now is:

1. Recognize that you're an addict (this is not simply a bad habit);
2. Make a decision that you will not use nicotine in any form, which is what the addiction is trying to convince you to do;
3. Get involved in this site and start posting roll in October 2011 and making yourself accountable. Go to the WELCOME CENTER link in pink above to read about why we post roll and how to post roll.

Any questions?

This isn't to say that smokers aren't welcome here at KTC - that's certainly not the case. WTP is going to FOCUS on smokers similarly to the way KTC focuses no chewing. No longer will smokers have to try and modify the support/information that they receive from dippers... it'll be coming directly from fellow smokers.
