So, just like that, the little cans gonna win? Grab your sac and man up! We all wanna throw a big fat wad in but I choose to live and you control your own destiny! I'm a man and I will continue to defeat this can one day at a time , because I posted roll early this morning, being a man of my word I will not dip today. Did I not see your name on roll?!

Brad, saw you were trying to post roll... For now you can just get your name and days in a "reply" then figure out roll as you go. Also.. start at the highest numbered page for the current roll.

Quit on!

Brad, you'll fit right in. We all have stopped for a while, only to hear the siren song of nicotine and stuff our faces again. There is a method for success at KTC which you should use.

1. Get that can out of the trash and flush the contents down the toilet. (Total destruction saves dumpster diving later).

2. Go to the February 2016 quit group (you will get to 100 days in February with those bad ass quitters) and post roll. Roll is you promise to yourself and all here that you will not use nicotine for 24 hours. Repeat that promise by posting roll tomorrow morning and each tomorrow as it arrives.

3. Exchange digits with fellow quitters. People who you can text to get through a crave, or post roll if your computer crashes. Get to know these quitters. Alone is much harder way to quit.

4. Read this site, the hall of fame speeches, words of wisdom, other intros, and cancer stories. You will find quitters like you all over, and reduce the odds you will become one of the last group.

We don't worry about forever here, we quit one day at a time (ODAAT) which anyone can do. We quit every damn day (EDD) as soon as we wake in the morning.

For the next several days, your quit will suck followed by craves and fog. You can get through this even if it ends up hour by hour or minute by minute. Drink lots of water, exercise, post in your quit group, try the live chat (it can be empty on weekends) or even the emergency topic on the quit group page (yes, people monitor that to support your quit).

Congrats on a great decision to quit at KTC!

I quit with you today.

My name is Brad and I had 3 months free from dip this time last year and then I told myself I'd "just buy one can". Here I am a year later and still struggling with the fear of putting down a little metal tin.

I am here for identification because I know you guys have done the same ridiculous things I have. Ie: sneaking around to get one more dip in, lying to loved ones, taking 1 hour bathroom time just to sneak a few extra moments in with the can, making up excuses to run to the store just to dip, switching from long cut to pouches because it seemed safer... And easier to take out if caught in the act, swallowing a mouthful of juice (cheeks fully distended) just so no one sees you spit and you have to speak, saying I'll quit on Monday AM, Sunday night, after this can is gone, Friday night, Wednesday at 3:35pm... All to no avail.

I chewed this morning and have since thrown out the can. Today is Day 1. I do not want to die as a result of a little metal can.

Brad, welcome to the site!

You're absolutely right. We DO understand, and we've done it all. We've taken the 3 showers a day just to get some more dip time in. We've taken the long way home in our vehicles just to suck on a wad of putrid tobacco a little longer. We've also all said we'll quit on days that just never seem to come. And the hiding it from loved ones...that's a small novel in and of itself.

Buuut, you're here now! That's great! As you found out, there is no such thing as "just one" for people like us. Not "just one" dip, "just one" cigarette, "just one" cigar, "just one" anything with nicotine in it.

Head to your quit group, February '16, and post roll with them! They will be a tremendous help to you!
