Today marks Day 50 of my quit. I would like to thank KTC for providing a system and brotherhood of accountability that I desperately needed to help me in the never-ending journey of battling nicotine.

The decision to quit chewing tobacco has been the best decision I have made in my life so far in my 41 years on this earth. I will continue to make that decision every damn day for the rest of it.
I need the encouragement as well as the direct constructive criticism from other quitters on this site. Without all those words on roll, chat, PMÂ’s, textsÂ… I would not still be quit today.

Big shout out to all my STDÂ’s in Sept 16, letÂ’s keep standing tall everyday together! You guys and gals are the glue of my quit.

To all of the longer term quitters out there, thank you. Keep leading by example. I quit with all of you today.

To the potential/ future quitter: You have no idea how good it feels to have freedom from the can. It truly is a great feeling that I never want to go away. You could feel the same way. You can do it. Do it for yourself, for your life. Flush it all right now, and take back control of your life.

This site works if you let it. If you admit you are an addict, and rely on yourself and others like you on the site, you can have success in Killing The Can.
We do it one day at a time, posting our promise to not use, just for today. Come and join us.
ENJOY YOUR QUIT TODAY!!

Celebrating today!!

Showed my lady the site last night, and she digs it. She actually admitted, "I don't know anything about that addiction, so I can only do so much to help you."
She is right, I need the support of others who understand what I am going through. That is exactly why I am here.

I also told 4 more important people in my life about my quit. More positive vibes everywhere.

That being said, I am fully aware that little Nic Bitch is on top of my left ear with her fucking hammer, ready to pound on my brain again, wanting me to come back...NOT happening Beotch!!

Stay Quit!

All good things,
P
You're kicking ass. And that's huge that you're sharing the journey with your lady. A lot of guys have to hide it, or have partners who don't want to put up with the roller coaster that is quitting.
It is a roller coaster!
Good days, bad days, ok days and great days, they all begin with that promise on roll call.
Every day, all day, my word is my bond to the brothers and sisters in my crew.
Believe it, live it and it will happen.
You are kicking ass. The great days will become more and more frequent.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Post roll, invest in your quit each day, repeat. It is going to take a while rewire your brain but it can be done!

I started yesterday too. Terrified of the next few weeks, but I do feel much better after reading the encouragement posted on my intro some of the success stories I found. I'll look for your name to follow your success.

Welcome PMILS. I'm not that far behind or ahead of you. 17 year dipper, can a day. close to my 100 day quit cold turkey. I can tell you that a) it is a rough and rocky road those first 3 weeks, but b) it is totally worth it.

feel free to come in to this site to let it all out. RAGE on us bro. it is the only way. get stocked up on sunflower seeds, gum, mints, toothpicks, candy. anything to keep your mind off buying a can. you get 4 days under your belt and you've got a solid foundation to build upon. after that, its as simple as one day at a time.

You need to post roll. It's your daily promise not to use. That's how we work.

Your group should be here: topic/11649440/

Yes, being a slave sucked. Today, you are free. There's going to be pain and suffering associated with this freedom, but I've been there. I knew it was worth it on Day 2. I'm on 526 now.

Quit with you today.
Where y'at PMILS?

You can do this. We are all living proof it can be done. You just have to want it bad enough. Come on, post a day one and let's get your quit started.....

Hello Quitters-
I have been a slave to Kodiak and Grizzly Wintergreen for the past 23 years. I am an addict.
My story starts at 16, tried dip with some buddiesÂ… I was the only one who didnÂ’t get sick. Of course, I thought I was super cool, and continued to dip off and on throughout high school. At 18, I became a full-time dipper, a can or more a day.
Hiding it from parents, family members, girlfriends, etc. became a part of my life. After a few years, I gave up trying to hide it. Basically proclaiming “This is who I am”, and packed a lip proudly without shame. I did not care about myself or my health, much less what others thought of me.

How F@#KING stupid!!

For the past month, I have finally started to get serious about quitting. I tried to do the gradual cut back. I started a calendar, trying to tell myself how much to consume and when to consume it.
You know what, that sucked, all that time and energy in trying to analyze my quit? Fuck it, why donÂ’t I just fucking do it already and be done?

As I mentioned above, for the past 23 years it has been my life. Honestly, I do not remember how it feels to be nicotine free. Who am I? How do I function? What does it take?
I am excited (but also scared) to learn/ discover the answers.
Hoping this community and all of the amazing folks here can help a brother out on this journey!!

TODAY I QUIT WITH ALL OF YOU
ENJOY YOUR QUIT TODAY!!
