[Serapis]

today I am starting the quitting process again.

You never quit before. Or you wouldn't be posting this.
Read the welcome center and post roll, get involved around here.
There are plenty of distractions to help you through the suck,
buckle up and enjoy the ride.

I'm quit because of this ^^^ guy. Find some others in your group and get their #'s. Roam and I spent hours on the phone those first months encouraging each other and just providing a distraction. We're now at 800 days quit proving it works every day.
Serapis 1653 the number is real. One thousand six hundred fifty-three days without tobacco. You can do this, if life and love can make the difference.

24 years old been at it since I was 13. Have given up the tin multiple times on and off over the past 2-3 years and I am sick of it. I know I need to quit so today I am starting the quitting process again. Actually was doing some research this time and found this site. It is great to see a bunch of other people with the same problem. I know I can do this because anything is possible but I know it will be difficult. Thanks for the support already laid down prior to my arrival at this site. Y'all seem to be doing great things here and I am for some reason kind of excited to quit the chaw even though it has been my favorite thing in the world to do over the past decade. Hearing stories about guys getting cancer and dying (Tony Gwynn most recently) kind of flipped a desire to quit switch in my head so here I am. Moving to a new apartment on monday and will be working 12 hours shifts at a restaurant all weekend long so I will try to sleep or exercise as much as possible in between shifts to keep myself from dipping. Just so happens I recently made a dentist appointment for next week as well so hopefully they will be supportive of my quit. Hopefully the new living situation changes will help me get out of my routine of dipping and now I have somewhere to go when I struggle. Ill need all the help I can get.

Hi, my name is Ben. I'm 25 and have been chewing for approx 11 -12 years. I've lost 5 of my friends and my brother in law this year. All younger than me. I've had my last dip in after lunch this afternoon. Been thinking bout it for 2 months. Done research and feel like a huge block has lifted off me by finding this site. I don't want to die young. I have no clue where to start I've read all the starter blogs. I chewed a can to a can n half a day. Plz help!

Welcome brother.

You are in the right place.

It's late so I can't write much.

Go to the Welcome Center. Read EVERYTHING.

Find October 2014 in the Quit Groups.

Post your promise not to dip today.

Keep your word.

Come back tomorrow and do it again.

My name is Nolaq. If I can do this. You can.

PM me if you get lost. We can help you find your way.

Going on day 4....can't stop eating. Seeing Tony Gwynn pass the other day at 54 really put things into perspective. My wife has always busted my chops about dipping but when we saw TG pass it really hit home. I had 3 dips left in my can told her this was my last can and here I am 4 days later...Keep up the good fight!

Only one post? Come on man. Get in a group and post roll call. Get involved. Go here to figure out how it's done: forum/55560/

Quitting is catching on.

[Nolaq]

Just threw the can in the compactor.

Fuck YEA!!!!!!!!

Let's do this brother. PM me if you need help.

Hi yesterday was my 1st day dip free after dipping for around 13-14 years,so here i sit day2 and it seems a bit rougher than day1 but I am comitted to the quit and this site is an amazing tool!

[starr_78]

So, apparently I'm a prick in the comments on the site. Certainly not my intention. Just passionate. http://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/ask ... mment-3952

Haha, oh little Tyler.

I better THROW out an answer as well.

This must be a conspiracy or something. You and wastepanel joining KTC 2 days apart? Are you trying to get everybody to quit? Meanies...... 'drool' I am quit for 275 days because of you guys by the way!!!!

Sorry, couldn't help myself. 'embarrassed'

Fucking tool.

Chewie you crazy statistician, the only real numbers that I see you throwing around is the number of quitters KTC has assisted. I'm glad Tyler had such an easy time quitting and that he is concerned his old man might be one of the "6". Cancer sucks no matter what the odds.

I love how this Tyler guy also doesn't see a whole other side to the quit. Tobacco affects your heart too. That's why I quit. History of heart issues in my family. I didn't want to stack the odds against myself anymore.

I am guessing it is not hard to do that "math" with statistician Chewie. Cancer and heart complications are the #1  #2 killers in the USA. Science has proven that tobacco and nicotine contribute to both of these health issues.... I'd rather not play with those kind of odds.... Science Bitch!

How's it going everyone. I guess this is as good a place as any to post. I'm 25 years old and have dipped skoal mint, straight, or grizzly wintergreen since I was 13. I was dipping at least a can a day for the last 8 years. Today I posted roll for the second time and it is my 3rd full day without any nicotine. I woke up and said "I don't want to do this anymore". I have a few cans of Baccoff wintergreen which helps a little with the oral fixation, but I'm pretty sure I just yelled at the milk carton for being too big. I'm freaking the fuck out. I have already apologized to my dog 40 times for yelling at him.

The reason I'm posting is because I want people to know my story and care that I make it. I don't want to just be another name on the roll. I can't do this alone. The temptation to get in the truck and go buy a can is killing me. Anyone have any help or words of wisdom (even if it's just "man the hell up" I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hey guys I am 23 years old and have been chewing since I was 14. I quit chewing for two years at one point but about two years ago I started up again. This time I am ready to be done for good. I am so sick of fighting with my wife about it when finds one of my cans or a spitter this shit cant keep ruining everything for me. I have been quit for 3 days and today has been the hardest one yet. I feel like Im about to fucking snap. I keep having to apologize to my wife but she doesnt understand but I know you guys do. This is the hardest fucking thing ever but reading about so many of you guys kicking this it motivates me even more.

Welcome you two. You have found the best place, the ONLY place to Quit. There is an umlimited amount of support, knowledge, and brotherhood here. With that, comes accountability. You should make connections here that will hold you to your word, and in turn, you need to look out for others.

I recommend (if you haven't already) posting in an Intro page.

Again, welcome. Best decision you ever made. If you need anything - a phone number, answer a question, a clean hooker, PM me.
