I saw on the blog back in September that KTC members could get coupons for a lot of the smokeless alternatives. I was wanting to grab a can or two of that hooch rough for a road trip I'm taking with the wife and figured if I could get a discount might as well do it.
sorry for the late response okie...

hooch coupons can be found here: http://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/smo ... och-snuff/
It's cool chewie. I looked around and found it. My hooch ought to be here next week!

Greetings all, I have trolled around this website since I initially quit ( Aug. 13,2013 ) but had never joined the forums. I just wanted to say thank you for all of the information that is provided on this site. It is such a blessing and a wonderful feeling to not to be a slave to the can.

Well, I guess I will give my story. I am not really sure how long I have been dipping but it has to be at lease 20 years. I have stopped a few times but I have not even tried to quit in quite awhile. But I am done. I used about a can a day maybe a day and a half. I put the last dip in yesterday afternoon and that was it. I have made it thru the night, and thru coaching my sons Varsity basketball game today, without ripping someones head off. I am dizzy most of the time and very jittery. But I actually don't want to put a dip in. Well, except when my wife gave me a Reese's cup and I ate it, I wanted one after that. Why am I quitting. It interferes with my relationships. My relationship with God (I am a slave to the can and not to God), with my wife (I cannot even kiss her most of the day unless I plan it.), I am ashamed of it in front of my kids cuz I don't them to do it. I think I will have more energy and I don't want to have that constant worry of the big C. That is it for now. Thanks to all that are on here to support us.
Jammis that is great you are working on quitting. I wasn't going to post a reply to your comments, but when I read that it interferes with your relationships I completely understand what your saying. I am recently divorced and I contribute it partially to dip. I didn't think my x-wife had a huge problem with it except for the usual scolding she gave me every few months. When it came down to it and we were getting a divorce she said that I wouldn't even kiss her anymore, which is a big part of the reason she was not happy in our relationship. That wasn't so true, but as a dipper there is never a good time to kiss your wife. When you choose to drive home with a fatty dip in and then get home and not kiss your wife it affects things.

Anyways, I encourage you to continue the quit. It is going to be hard, but well worth it. It has been hard for me to quit, but I've made it 40 days and am not going back.
