Creative Titles are not my thing.

Hi Everybody,

So i've been looking at this site for a couple of days now, and right after midnight Central time I threw out my last tin. The tin that my Girlfriend doesn't know that i bought yesterday before going to work, after i told her I was done. I can't say that I wanted to quit, cause I really didn't on the surface, but deep down I didn't want to end up with cancer. And I didn't wanna see that look on my GF's face anymore of when i put in a dip.

Now this is the third time i've quit just this year, trying different things. I tried cold turkey, and that lasted about a day. I quit using nicotine gum, and that lasted about a week and a half (but it worked out really well for my dad who hasn't had a dip in I don't even remember how long.) I think the biggest thing I missed was having something in my lip and I'm really willing to give these substitutes a try. In fact yesterday I ordered 5 different flavors of Hooch to give a shot, and before i came home from work, I went to the gas station and picked up some Jack Links Jerky Chew, and it makes me confident, I don't feel as desperate to get a "fix" I do believe I am addicted to nicotine, but even more so I'm addicted to having something in my lip. So today starts a new life almost, tobacco free. May I rot in hell if i ever pick up the stuff again.

Now enough with the tobacco stuff, A little bit about me... I'm a military member who feels like he hasn't done a whole lot, by that I mean i'm in the National Guard and have never deployed, or really done anything outside of drill and Annual training. Please don't take this as I just joined for the benefits or anything like that, I would gladly do whatever they need me to do to defend our county and our Constitution, and most importantly, our citizens...
i really enjoy guns, The bigger the better, and if they are fully automatic they are just more fun. Just this last year i got an opportunity to fire a MK19, and for whoever doesn't know what that is, it shoots 40mm grenades on full auto. Not many things on my list go better than that.

I also enjoy reading a lot, and playing video games, not as important in my life but worth mentioning.

I have a beautiful Girlfriend who very shortly I want to ask to marry me. Why wait? Mainly because I know money should not be an issue, and I know i could get her any ring, but I want to get her something that she really likes, and saving money is not my forte. Besides doing this for myself, she is the reason I am doing this. She is the reason that i will be quit.

Ummm, see and this is where i run into that awkward part where I suck at introductions, or describing myself, or really sharing any of my feelings, but if you ever have any questions about me feel free to ask, i'm mostly an open book.

To whoever had the idea for this site, thank you. It is a wealth of knowledge, and sadly it is also a wealth of reasons to quit, I just read the story about Randy and his cancer, and that is what made me make the move to throw away my tin instead of finishing it. To Kylos, If you still look at these forums at all, I'm sorry for your loss, and Randy's family's loss. Thank you for sharing it. Thank you to you and to Randy to give me the push to throw that $6 can of cancer in the garbage.

Welcome.
Don't give it a shot. Don't blow your whole load on one try. nicotine has never been a habit.

Go all in TODAY by looking at the Addict in the mirror (yeah we're all addicts of nicotine). Make the decision to "be quit" just Today.
Get in here and:
Post roll as soon as your feet hit the floor in your a.m. This is your word that you will not put the poison in your mouth Today. Your word is good, right?
Then, honor your word all damn day.
make it to bed, wake and REPEAT.
Now, to be successful, you'll need some ammo/tools. Join the brotherhood in your quit group. read everyday here, knowledge is power. get in the chat room and LYAO. laughter is the Best crave killer, period
If you do this one day at a time and put 1/2 as much effort into "being quit" as you did with ingesting the poison, you will go from a dumbass dipper to a badass quitter.
Do it for YOU and for You only. Others will benefit, but it has got to be about you 100%. We dipped, our wives and children did not. We dipped, they suffured. Now it is our turn to suffer and be free ODAAT.
It gets much easier, better and clearer as your days stack up.
Quit on Brother.

All forms of nicotine/tobacco are the enemy here. We quit one day at a time by posting roll. Failure is not tolerated. Join us every damn day with your promise not to use.

You'll find a surplus of guys in here that love guns as much as if not more than you. I'm one of those guys for sure but I prefer single, well-aimed shots to a barrage. I'm a hunter too. We hunt hogs, deer, coyotes, etc. all over Texas when the time presents itself. As one vet quitter told me early in my quit, the more money you save by quitting dipping means more ammo you send down range. Over 200 days quit, I've saved $1500 which translates to a full body mount bobcat and a pile of 10mm, 40, 45 and 308 ammo.
If you follow our simple doctrine here you will quit and stay quit. Once you have the roll posting down it's real easy from then on. Check your inbox (upper right corner) as I have sent you my digits in case you need to vent or need help. You can giver yours if you want. I'm not going to spam you or any of that horse shit. The way it looks you will be in the May 2015 quit group if not the June group. Just keep coming back here every damn day (EDD) and quitting one day at a time (ODAAT).

Great intro Austin. You stumbled upon the right place. Read everything you can in the welcome center, along with anything else you can get your hands on here at KTC. You just took the first step in the right direction, now every day you take one more step. We here at KTC don't look long term, just one day at a time, that is indicated by posting roll every damn day. This is your promise to yourself and the rest of the community that you won't use nicotine for that day. The not to here is to "wake up, piss, post roll."

One thing I hesitated on when I first joined was building a network. Now I have quite a few ktc numbers in my phone and this has saved my quit numerous times whether they realize it or not. Don't be afraid to do this and shoot me a personal message if you want my number.
