Quit!
^^^ E-cigs and nic gum are still delivering nicotine to your system, they have been shown to cause throat, mouth and stomach problems.
You are addicted to nicotine! Quit all forms and join us in FREEDOM!!!

OMG! I'm so fucking mad right now. For no reason at all. And so damn tired. Wtf. Makes you want a dip just once. But I know I can't. But I swear I wanna just cuss some mother fuckers out! Can't do that tho. Only in here. Thanks
CC - First thing, get over to your quit group and post roll which is your daily promise to not use nicotine in any form today. You will find your quit brothers there who are at a similar stage as you where you can vent/rant as much as you want. October 2015 quit group - topic/11203031/61/#new

Secondly, don't ever give in...as the days tick away of being nic free you will start feeling like a winner...you've made the best decision you could ever make and I promise as time goes on you'll only wish you made this decision much sooner. Be a f*n winner and win each day. Don't look back...

Use this forum and specifically your quit group to get involved. Not only will it help your quit but you will help others. Proud to quit with you today! emc4 - day 122
Great advice!! it is not better dipping!! You were just deceived, as was I, into thinking that Nic was the help you needed. Breath deep and quit on my friend!!

Quote from: Fastball35
Couldn't really find an intro page so I thought I'd just post here. I've visited KTC before maybe a couple months ago. I had never seriously looked into quitting till the past couple weeks and finally decided to make a legitimate effort last week. June 28th was my last dip and I never want to do it again.
I started dipping casually when I was a sophomore in high school but it was never a serious habit. I played baseball and still do professionally. So needless today dip is a pretty big influence in my life. I'm around it literally every day. I started dipping seriously at the beginning of college and it got its worst this past year as it was my first in professional baseball. Been dipping almost a can a day for about 10 months now
. Long bus rides, countless hours in hotels, sitting in dugouts game after game(I'm a starting pitcher so I literally only play once a week). Dipping became way to prevalent in my life be I realized that and I'm ready to quit forever.
I'm 22 and have always realized I needed to quit at some point and never planned on dipping my whole life. But it was time to actually take action on that notion. I feel like it's pretty common that after you quit you begin to think you have a bunch of problems from the dipping. I actually have great oral hygiene and always have taken care of my teeth. But of course I get a tiny bump on my tongue or something and immediately think I have cancer. It's actually bothering me a lot but I feel like it's part of the nicotine withdrawal and my head just being off balance. Paranoid anxious etc. just felt like this could be a good place to talk to others who are in the same situation. I appreciate anyone who reads and replies.
Welcome Fastball!

Head on over to October 2015 - topic/11203031/ That's your "home group" so to speak where folks are at the same stage of their quits as you are. As for your symptoms... 100% normal. I'm one of the biggest hypochondriacs you'll ever meet and I had those exact same feelings. The bumps on your tongue, the fog, etc. are all a part of quitting.

Let us know how we can help!

today im gonna quit. ive been trying for the past six months. im quitting because i want a future i dont want to hide it from my parents, sisters, girlfriend. ive tried everything besides support. I want to wake up a year from now healthy happy worry free and be grateful for the day. Im young and every time i finish a lip i worry about getting the big C or other problems. honestly i thought i could just quit but at work and school im around it constantly so im worried. i keep relapsing. i told myself i could stop anytime i want and kept moving the day i would stop further and further away. i graduate in 2016 from college and i want to be dip free. so i packed my last lip today im throwing out my tins tomorrow morning. I pray this is the last time. any suggestions please contact me. any words of wisdom contact me. heres to a new page in my book.
Welcome Deisel. I admire you for taking this on at your age. I dipped for almost 30 years, telling myself, "I'll quit when ______ ." Thirty years of that addict speak.

Do this. You won't regret it. Do it now, and live a life of freedom from addiction. You have the right markers, all you need to do is post your promise, and you will not believe the support you get from this site, and it's members.

We all have one thing in common: NONE of us were successful until we found KTC. You are not here by accident.

Go here. This is your group of fellow Quitters. Post your promise and let's crush this!
"I've tried everything besides support."

You've stumbled across the motherload my friend. Welcome!
