I nearly caved today! It was a day from H E double toothpicks! Stress out the yang yang. But, I am at day 9 and not going to give into this devil powder that I call smokeless chewing tobacco. Hoping it gets better with each day and now I realize that I cannot do this alone. The private messages keep pouring in and I am utterly in amazement at the outpouring of support. Thank you!
glad to hear you didnt but now you need to ask yourself what caused it and how to avoid it. This was a close call but what happens next time ya know? did you reach out for help from someone here or did you try it alone? remember accountability only works if you let people hold you accountable.

So tomorrow my plane leaves at 9:30 a.m CT for a 9 hr journey to O'Hare, my first long trip of any sort without dip handy. If anyone of you fellow quitters don't mind chatting with me a bit before I leave and will be up around then, feel free to shoot me your number in my inbox and I'll give you a quick call, it'd be really awesome! Traveling alone and just past 2 weeks dip free, got a mean canker sore on my cheek and jaw feels a bit sore still lol. It'd be nice to get to know some of you!
Hey Finn, great job reaching out. I will be at work, but feel free to text me and I'll do my best to respond. You should also check in to live chat, via the main KTC page.

That travel can be tough man. Luckily, once you're on the plane, there will be no opportunity to cave. If you want some entertainment, find Chickdip's airplane spit cup story and try not to laugh out loud!

Digits on the way.

Not sure if this is the place to ask but here goes- I'm on day 50 and feel like hell with tons of anxiety. My doctor suggested Wellbutrin and I picked up my prescription today. Anyone tried this drug? How did it help or not help you? Thanks
I know there are some folks that have, check out this wildcard section:

Day 5, I'm losing my shit but I know I can't dip anymore
Hopefully I can get get through the next for days and maybe
It will get easier. Any suggestions would help any fake dips to do
Or just eat seeds. Thanks this is a very helpful website
Jessed10, it does get better each day.
1. Post roll every day; this is your quit group Nov HOF 2016
2. use anything to help you stay quit; fake chew, seeds, gum, candy, etc.
There are some pretty good fake chews out there: http://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/smo ... ernatives/

So, where the heck do I start, especially after making a horses butt outta myself? First and foremost, I owe Grat an apology! He was just trying to help, and not knowing my deep love for Jesus Christ, I took his out pouring of help for a hasty attack against me. I was so wrong, as he and others were just trying to hold me accountable. I just posted roll and yes, I am still quit on day 7. To the rest of you, just know that I am going to beat this demon called smokeless tobacco. I know there is a ton of support here. Some of you may not be a Christian or believer, some of you are. I believe I saw the post of a fallen brother for a reason and that reason brought me here, with outstretched arms and needing help. I do find some of the language a bit appalling, but I read past that and see the encouragement, the outpouring of love and support, and the accountability.

Quit Day 7
Nah. No apologies necessary Bro. Glad your back. And yes, this place truly is a God send. There really is something synergistic happening here. Together we are stronger than we are individually. We are quitting together and we are beating the demon of smokeless tobacco. Day 7 eh ? I remember how proud I was to post my Day 7. I'm sure your like me. Day 7 was a new record. Day 8 was when I broke my previous day's record. Each day is a new record. Such an awesome feeling to wake up each morning and post a new larger number of days Quit. Congrats on 1 week Bro. Here's to Day 8. Proud to be Quit with you.
Welcome to the funny farm and glad you decided to stick around. Take what you need to stay quit and ignore the rest it is just noise, and try not to lick the windows in Nov, the pleebs just washed them two days ago.....
Music to my ears!!! Glad you are back! Lucky no. 7!

Hey yall,
Glad I found this page! I'm 28 years old and a Mama! I've been dipping since I was about 16. I've always dipped Grizzly and usually dip about 1-2 cans a day...I love it, but I hate it. Only quit once cold turkey when I was pregnant with my first and that lasted about 2 months...then I hit a deer. I want to quit sooo bad. I've come close, like from a few hours without to a day, but my withdrawals are scary. I get really angry with a short temper, shakes, all of it. It's bad...I'd appreciate any words of advice because I'm so ready to not have this taking over my life anymore...thanks yall!
If you really want to quit, you can absolutely do it. It is going to suck for a while and then it will get so much better. Go to the welcome center and learn to post roll. I would provide links, but I don't know how to do it.
