Glad you realize this isn't a hand holding club. I thought the same on Fat Tuesday this year when I posted my intro wearing a nicotine patch. I was wrong and the KTC is right.

We are blunt and unapologetic because our quits are saving our lives. We want you to be quit with us Every Damn Day as well, but sometimes a new quitter needs to be bopped on the head with a truth hammer, as I was 2 months ago. I posted a promise 30 minutes ago that I will not use nicotine today. I see you posted Day 1 again.

So why did you cave? This isn't a joke kid.
Its not about giving people shit. Its about giving people a chance, sometimes the skin has to be toughened to strengthen the resolution in a person so the quit will survive. So if needed get mad get pissed, do say what ever you need to to whomever.... but quit and stay quit. strengthen the resolve in your quit. If you do not get tough really quickly the nic bitch will kick your ass. We/ they will do anything to help you quit with one exception and that is quitting for you, we will quit with you every damn day though.

Yes you can and you will keep that going if you don't decide to get with the program and quit. You see addiction is that powerful you will go without other things that you need in order to drop $8 a can that's how it works. You are lucky you are doing this now before you are choosing Dip over your kids food.

Glad you are here learn about your addiction and what it does to your brain. If you fully commit I will quit with you every damn day.
I'm really ready to fully quit. Jeeze, I'm starting to realize you guys aren't here to hand hold, you're more here to give me shit hahahaha. I like it though. I'm ready to quit. Day two.
Quit Day: 5/7/14.

I'm 44 and 33 days quit. You have nearly 20 years on me to be quit. Don't be me in 20 years and run the numbers and have regret. If your curious, I estimate $27,500 I spent on Skoal Cherry. That's a big chunk of college for one of my kids right there. Plus the cancer worries, nice, huh?

I quit with you today.
$27K holy fuck man, yeah, it's time to stop man. Day two here I come.

Son,

Don't end up like me. 44 yrs old and only 71 days quit. I sometimes think about what it would've been like if I quit when I was 25. I'd have almost twenty years of no-worrying-about-cancer FREEDOM.

Also, MICH34 is so right on. We've all given this "a try" so many times before now that ended in failure. You must commit if you want to succeed. The good news is you don't have to make a long term commitment. Just quit for one day. Slide over to the welcome center and brush up on how to do that. What goes on here is simple. We all promise ourselves and each other that we will not use nicotine today. We do it each day.

I'll quit with you today. Get over to the August Group and post roll. Don't do this for Cinco De Mayo...that's kinda fucked up anyway. Do it right now because you don't want to be a slave to nicotine ever again.
Good stuff in here already. The shit could be free for all I care.......cause I am QUIT. Just switch to something cheaper next time. You think quitting cause your jaw missing a good excuse? You knew the risk for 11 years and still did it.

Let me explain something. I am QUIT there isn't a DAMN thing the nic bitch can do about it the day I quit. Fuck because this or that. Just be quit.
I dont fully understand this.... your saying you shouldn't have a reason to quit?
Quit Day: 5/7/14.

Your right, and each day I continue this piece of shit habit, is another wasted fucking day. And I didn't quit "for cinco de mayo" it just happened to be that day. I'm ready to succeed.

Hi everyone, been lurking on this website for a few weeks now, and I decided that Cinco De Mayo would be when I am ready to quit. I'm 25 years old, but have been dipping since I was 14. I can't honestly remember a day where I didn't use a nicotine product in the last three years. If I can't find a tin, I'll find a smoke, if I can't do either, then I'll find some Nicotine gum. I tried to quit last week, but ended up going 4 days and then having a few drinks and had to have a couple of cigarettes.

Honestly, I live up north, and Dip is now up to 8 dollars a tin, and i'm doing a tin a day, there is no way I can keep that going.... and I realized I don't want to be 30 years old without a bottom jaw. So bring on the pain of the next few days. Bring on the frustration and bullshit. Lets do it.
sounds like you think you might want to give this a try, if that's right this isn't going to end with a win. You're going to have to want to quit like you want air. Do you want to quit that bad? If you're ready to fight for your own freedom I know a few thousand guys who'll quit with you every day, this is the place to quit.
Fuck yeah, I'm ready to quit and I realize it's more serious than I thought.
Quit Day: 5/7/14.
