Thanks guys!

Update: fog is already setting in. Locked myself out of the house this morning, haha. Could barely drive. How long does this fog shit last?

Also, Why does everyone fucking annoy me today? Except for you guys, since you understand what I mean.
Congrats on day 1 quit you've taken the most important step of the process. I quit with you this is day 6 for me and i can tell you the fog so far has been the worst first 4-5 days. I woke up today in a foggy state who knows how long it will last but i can tell you I know the longer i battle the easier its going to get eventually.

Well guys... I told you I'd be back!


DAY 1 !!!!!!! All dip is gone, and by gone, I mean I poured what I had left out in the toilet last night and flushed that shit.

First and foremost, thanks for all of the words of encouragement on here. This forum really is wonderful, as I would have never expected such a tight-knit support community! I think I just found some new friends! Thanks for telling me what I needed to hear!

I am trying to figure out some sort of replacement for the oral fixation of dip. I have those mint lifesavers, regular lifesavers, and Grinds coffee pouches since I'm a coffee fan.


Last night I was laying in bed thinking that I KNOW I can do it this time because of the support. I'll keep you guys updated on my progress, and will be posting roll shortly (once I figure out how the hell that works).

-Sean K


PS - I almost forgot.. Is there any way possible to have this thing email you when one of your topics gets a new posting? I'm kinda new to online forums and whatnot! :)
Dude - this is awesome news. You can do this!!!

I'll let someone else address technology. I am challenged with my remote, much less this website! I'll send my phone number in a pm to you (upper right corner) and hope you will use it to text or call if I can help. This December group is bad ass. Make sure you post roll!

Well done sir.
Great news! I quit with you my friend. WE CAN DO THIS.

I really hope we see you today, Sean! Whenever I see someone here setting a quit date or being in the fence about quitting, I honest to God wish I could somehow take my brain and put it in their head for just 30 seconds so they can see that a life without nicotine dependence and nonstop withdrawal systems exists, if only they would give it an honest shot.

But! It's currently 4 am EST, and we have an entire day to hear back from you. You said you'd keep us updated, and until I have a reason to not believe you, I am going to believe that will happen today.

Either way, we'll be here when you're ready!

Good luck brother be strong! I like many others have said I'll quit tomorrow just let me have my dip for today. It never works out that way, I've taken my can and thrown it away only to find myself pulling it out of the trash 6 hours later....

No time like the present. Good luck with your brother tomorrow and see you at roll call.

Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

I'll echo what everybody else has said. Be done with it bro. The feeling is incredibly liberating to dump it. You will be so damn proud of yourself as well to finally take charge over nicotine. C'mon bud, do it now.
"Fuck nicotine dude. You don't need it. And you don't want it. It didn't do a thing for you and you know it." - worktowin
"today you dissided that shit wont control your life. and it wont. unless you let it." - drome
"Not thinking about nicotine is for people who've never used nicotine. We threw that option away with the first dip or drag on a cigarette. We are addicts, and cannot become un-addicted." - wildirish317
"You need to decide how much you really want to be quit." - pky1520
We are always at risk. And probably always will be. That is why I will never get "too quit" to post my +1. Every. Damn. Day. - geis2597

Hey Sean you should quit right now. why quit tomorrow if you won't quit today. If you are serious about quitting and i believe you are make the decision now throw the can away its gonna be one very tough ride. I quit 5 days ago and the first few days are hell until the nicotine is out of your system then its the physical withdrawals triggers and everything else that fucks with your head. We are here to help thats why I'm here all the support from KTC is how we will succeed. So listen to our advice and quit cold turkey today bro. you don't want to be in the initial foggy stages right when you start a new job.

SeanK I have been where you are. I know you are reasoning with the addiction that you need that nasty dip to make it through the weekend, the next project, the next, the next, the next.....

18 months ago I quit for 4 days and walked into a gas station, bought a can and didn't think anything about it until 2 hours later. I went through the suck and caved without even knowing it. This quit was with out KTC.

I decided 5 days ago I will Quit the dip. I found KTC and I post roll EDD. When ever I have a craving or feel like I am going out of my mind, I come on here and read or post. On my introduction page I talk about a waking dip dream I had sitting at my desk at work. I firmly believe that if it wasn't for the Daily Roll and the brotherhood of KTC, I would be dipping away right now. There is so much power and brotherhood on this site. There are thousands on here who are years into their quit and have experienced everything we have. My advice is to post roll. You are making a commitment to yourself and the brotherhood that you will not use any nicotine that day. When I post roll I promise to myself, to you, and to the entire brotherhood I will not use nicotine that day.

My tips for the suck:
Drink lots of water, post roll, read and post to KTC. Words of wisdom and Hall of Fame speeches are great sources of power. Find other quitters and reach out.

We are here to quit with you and to do everything in our power to help you quit with us.

PM me if you ever need anything.

I started my quit last Saturday. To be honest I didn't even know I was really quitting at the time. I had been thinking about quitting for a million reasons and I ran out of chew on Friday September 4th, 2015. I didn't go back to the store for another can.

In the end all of those reasons to quit finally connected with me. We can do this. Posting here helps a lot.

I am 49 years old and I do not want to be using this crap when I am 50, 60, 70 or (hopefully) 80.

MAN UP DUDE

You are letting s chopped up plant in a can control you! Guess what... I did too until I found KTC. cold turkey is the ONLY way that works. Alcoholics don't switch from beer to light beer successfully. Cocaine addicts don't switch to heroin with success. Nicotine replacement is a joke and wouldn't be tolerated with any other addiction. Tobacco companies suck.

Here is a question... Your girlfriend hates it... DO YOU HATE IT???

Planned quits always fail. You are wasting your time by planning to quit tomorrow... The day after... I know, cause I did that for 25 years. Carpe diem! Stop being a slave (aka pussy) to nicotine. Throw that shit out and join us RIGHT NOW! Make your girlfriend happy and proud. But more than anything, do it for you. You feel like going to the store to buy a can? Get on here DNS read and post. Get in chat. I promise we will talk you down. You can go this, but you have to want it.
Thanks, brother. I needed to hear this.

I found this site last night and never knew it existed. It seems much harder to find a community of those providing support for quitting dip than anything else out there. You are right: "tobacco companies suck".

I set my cold-turkey quit date for Tues: 9/15/15 because Monday I have to take my brother in to a mental health facility to get him some help with some depression issues. I had planned to quit Tuesday, but after reading this...you are right: there's no good time to quit. That was an excuse that I was telling myself, and I can probably think of twenty more for Weds, Thurs, Fri, and so on.

I do hate it. It doesn't match up well with my lifestyle or working environment at all, I hate having to walk around with a bulge in my lip like an idiot. I hate the fact that I don't like to smile at people when I have dip in my teeth, and sometimes even avoid eye contact because I feel they are judging me as a redneck for having dip in my mouth.

My modified quit date is: 9/14/15. Monday morning. No dip after I go to bed tomorrow night. Let's keep in touch, I will let you know how it's going.
I wasn't enough of a monster.

Modify that date to today. Nicotine doesn't hel with stress - it causes it. Let me tell you a few stories...

I'm 43 years old. I was a ninja. I hid in bathrooms. In my car. My wife had no idea that I was 1/200th of the addict I am. I chewed scan a day. She probably thought I chewed a can a year. And she hated that. I drove around for hours by myself each week. Took 3-4 showers a day. And my health collapsed. High blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes. Guess what??? I've fixed every single thing, plus I'm honest and honorable. That being said - I wasted 25 years of my life. I have a great life and a great family/job, but I'm ashamed of my deceit. Tobacco can fuck off for making me a slave and almost killing me.

One of my best friends on this site has been getting chemo for colon cancer. He's about 47 years old. Yesterday he got a good PET scan result. Tobacco can fuck off for what it did to him.

I've been talking to a young guy that is an addict. He has failed several times but keeps coming back. Only the strongest can win at this. It is hard. If you aren't a man of your word you will fail. You have to want this more than anything. Tobacco can fuck off for appealing to young guys that are vulnerable.

And it can fuck off for making you weak. You really need until Monday? No you don't. Cmon man. You can do this. Quit today and Monday the nicotine will almost be out of your system. Tell your girlfriend what is up. Make her part of it. Tell her about this site and let her read our crazy posts. Make her,make that little baby, but most of all make yourself proud. You can do this.

Walk to the toilet. Open the can. Dump it. Flush. Go to the sink and rinse it out. Walk outside - put the can on the sidewalk and jump up and down on it. And say out loud - fuck nicotine - I am going to win today!

I'm quit dude. 993 days ago I went through what you are feeling. Never again. Freedom is a sweet thing.
This post is awesome
Wow, what can I say? W2W is a quit stud! Grab your sac dude! I'm a 38 year addict. 259 days of freedom is frigging awesome! Don't understand waiting. Not gonna make this shit any easier. Don't be a pussy, can you quit today,because I feel like if you don't you want be back! Listen this will say something about your manhood so let's see what you decide, and yes I hope I pissed you off, I'm not here to tell you it's ok to wait till you ready because it usually never comes. The way it sounds to me you need to be here so we can help you with your temper. Bring your ass in here and cuss me and w2w we can handle it and your family don't deserve it. Man or mouse? Next moves your's!
So I'll throw in my 2 cents here as well.

Look, you've got nothing to lose right now. Flush your shit, get it over with, and post a day 1. Is it too late? Nope...unless you live somewhere East of Atlantic Standard Time. Your Day 1 is when you have made the decision to quit, and got rid of your shit. Do it now.

What do you gain from doing it tonight? You get to sleep off part of your first day, and you get to start with hydrating and pushing vitamins through your body. This will help.

Do it.

Do it now.

Do it for yourself because you want to be Quit.

We will help you. And it will be glorious.

Quit on.
