here are the answers to your questions. 1. I posted roll everyday and read quit lit everyday but was mainly all alone in my attempt to quit. 2. what support? didn't get to know anybody. what is a "deuce"? 3. hopefully find some brothers that want to work together to get well and not crap all over anybody that is not absolutely perfect.

And you have some questions to answer, big red.

1. What happened?
2. Why did you choose to cave and take a deuce on all of those here supporting you and May 2013 group?
3. What are you going to do to make sure you can't choose to cave again?

Need heartfelt answers in your new group and your old group. Get to typing.

Thanks Nolaq for calling me out. Honestly, at first I was perplexed by the responses to my "introduction" today. The first time I wrote one all I got was support and this time I felt like I got chewed out. But then I went and read your intro and all the updates and responses and realized that I did need a kick in the pants today! Thanks for getting on me. I needed to get my brain around how hard I'm gonna to have to work to stay quit this time and not bail out like last time.
Do NOT take a giant deuce on Oct 14. You made it in there on their last open day. Tomorrow we shut the door in there.

Shut yours.
What is your major malfunction?!?!?!?!

I have sat down every day for the last 5 days and tried to write this intro and start my quit and every time I shut the computer and went and bought one more last can of snuff. Last night around 8 pm I finished what I hope is my last can of snuff. I've been nicotine free all of 18 hours but am determined to keep rolling. I've been an every day dipper since 8th grade (1978) and a can a day dipper for at least the last 5 years. My lip and gums are flat out worn out. They hurt all the time. Every dip hurts like hell. There is no such thing as a "good dip" anymore. I don't enjoy it but I keep doing it because I'm a damn addict and I"m sick and freaking tired of daily bowing down to King Copenhagen. All that and the fact that I don't want die! I have finally come to the realization that dipping has been nothing more than a self-indulgent, slow manner of committing suicide! I'm done! I wanna be done forever and I know I cannot do it alone. Hopefully this site will be what I need to make it this time!
Dude. Don't say "hope." You've already failed. Make the decision that you ain't stuffing anymore nicotine laden cat turds in your face and stick with it. Read all you can here. Post roll daily, keep your word, repeat.

Read the welcome center on posting roll call and then go post your promise in the October 2014 group.
Uh oh, I just heard a record skip.

You've been here before. What quit group were you originally a member when you joined?

Enough 'Hope'. Man the fuck up.
Looks like you made it to Day 34, and then....what?

Let's fucking go man. Enough of the insanity.

Welcome in bro...

Wrap your head around this man... There is no "hoping" here and there is no "forever".

At KTC we just DO and it happens every day. Forever is too tough to grasp as an addict and hoping/trying leaves room for failure. You found us and that's what it takes. Get yourself to the Welcome Center and read about what/how/why we do things here.

You CAN do this...
We'll do it right along with you...
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

"...it gives me motivation to prove them wrong."

Fucking A right my brother. You aren't all alone either. We got your back. Hell some of these h moes might want a piece of your front.

You're friends think you're crazy...why? Because they don't have the stones to do it? I know they're your boys but like I quoted at the beggining use it as motivation to prove them wrong.

I had a buddy who smoked like a chimmney and he said no way I could quit cold turkey. Told me I needed the patch or chantix. Fuck him. He was and still is my boy and when he saw me struggling in the beginning he begged me to go to the store and buy some nic gum or a patch. Again, fuck him.

255 days later we took our daughters to a daddy/daughter dance. I felt free as a bird. That asshole had to keep stepping outside to suck down heaters. He would come back to the table smelling like an ash tray and missed some precious time with his daughter. You don't get that shit back.

So screw what your friends think. YOU know you're doing the right thing and you got some bad ass mother truckers here for support. Reach out anytime you need anything.

I've been an every day dipper since 8th grade -35 years ago! I've been nicotine free for 11 days and I'm doing ok but I am totally on my own out here. All my dipping friends think I'm crazy for quitting which makes it hard to keep going but at the same time it gives me motivation to prove them wrong. I've tried this before many times but I am determined to beat the can this time. I'm sick and freaking tired of being owned by the nicotine bitch and I'm ready to be free.
For what it is worth... I think your friends are waiting to see if you are serious. When they see your determination they will support you. If not, then the title friends does not apply to them.
