Hey Dave,

Did you try posting roll this morning? If so but had trouble, let me know and I can get your name on this list while we teach you the delicate art of posting roll...

hey davemo,
Good to see another slave taking his life back!
You can do this.
It is very simple, yet probably the hardest thing you've ever done.
1. Post roll....this is your promise to yourself and us for TODAY that you are quit and will not dip...just for today. The earlier in the a.m. the better for your quit.
2. Make it to bed...anyway you can...No Nic of any kind. End of discussion (Mr. Cbird's sage words).
3. Wake and Repeat and your daze will stack up faster than you ever thought possible.
You see, I dipped 30 yrs 24/7 This is my 1st and last quit. If I can do this, then I know that YOU can TOO brother. ODAAT and NAFAR
Read the following important life saving/altering passages:

good info here too

Why it works

NAFAR...never again for any reason!

Cheers brother. You got this...ODAAT

I feel your pain Dave...I quit a month after my 46th bday and not gonna lie it sucked everybit of it sucked...I kept asking myself why am I trying to accomplish such a lofty goal at my age...hell my grampa did it...he died from black lung not cancer from dip...no one I know died from it...so why quit... all addict brain talk. 

I was just few days into my quit feeling like total death and poof I had a post from Bean...said embrace the suck...I was like what...I had never ever heard of that...embrace pain and agony...I was like shit what I have been doing aint working so I did...I embraced the suck...I did it I am on the other side of the suck now but by embracing the suck I know now that there is not way I want to do that again(NAFAR...never again for any reason) ...i/WE do it one day at a time(ODAAT).  the i is not capitalized for a reason I by myself struggle to fite the bitch WE fight her together.

PM if you need anything!!!

I quit couple months before my 54 b-day. The way I figured it, I was finally able to man up. My biggest revelation came from accepting that I am an addict.
Stay strong.

It took some balls to come in here and post what you did. Show us you've got bigger balls by staying and taking your life back. I was you 65 days ago man. Exactly you. If I can do this... you can too.

Hey folks,

First timer here and am quitting today. I've been at it for at least 20 years. I don't even remember when I started. It's pathetic, at age 46 and still chewing. I can identify with most everyone here very quickly. The last poster said he'd throw his can out in the ditch when he "quit" and then end up looking for that can later on. Hell, I've had a flashlight looking in the bushes at night trying to find that can!

For me, I have to quit because there is cancer in my family and I'm a fool for letting dip go for this long. I just surpassed the age my dad and grandpa both died. I want to live a long life, so enough is enough. I've lost two teeth to this menace and the rest of them are a disgusting yellow. I'm also tethered to a chew every day of my life. If I go out, it's "how long will I have to go without a chew?" "If I drive this route, I can go to this 7-11, grab a chaw, get to work, take a break, find a place to chew, oops, running out, gotta time it so I don't get caught without any."  You get the picture.  Let's not even talk about how much money I've wasted on it. Ugh.

I've already been off the stuff for about 12 hours and I'm going nuts already. I feel empty and strange and I it seems like I have all this extra time on my hands (even though I don't). I've removed such a big activity in my life, that it feels so odd.  Anyway, I've gone on long enough. I'm not liking this already, but it's gotta be done. Thanks.

A major KEY to your quit involves posting roll call everyday. You give your word to everyone that you wont use nicotine that day. Be a man of your word and quit today. Worry about tomorrow when it comes. Read this site. Get phone numbers and message your fellow quit brothers. You can do this man. I am finishing up day 31 and I dipped a can a day for 15 years. You got this. Oh and welcome to freedom. No more being a slave to a fucking can.

Good advice from KC. Posting roll is the backbone of this site.

12 hrs in and its tough. Yep. It ain't gonna be easy.

You're basically losing a "friend". Someone who has been with you for 20 years. It will not be easy to say goodbye.

That's why you have to say FUCK OFF instead.

Fact is the shit was never your "friend".

It took your time, your money, your teeth, your dignity, your freedom and was gunning for your life.

Some "friend".

Fuck all that now though. You're here. No use looking back. You are gaining new friends. Real friends, who want to help you bitch slap your 20 year addiction.

Use us.

Any questions, want to vent, cry, or scream...come here. We are here for you to lean on.

Welcome my friend.

You listen to these two bad asses and your quit will stay strong. Welcome to ktc and congrats on quitting my friend. Get yourself over to the Sept 13 quit group and post roll if you haven't already done that. Then get yourself some numbers and reach out to for quit brothers and sister and make yourself accountable. Go get you some seeds, hard candy, tooth picks, fake chew or anything at all really as long as that nasty ass dip stays the hell away. If you need a number or anything at all just pm me.

Thanks a lot KC_Guy. Day 31... nice work. Just reading about feeling like you're in a fog for the first few days. Bingo. I feel like I'm floating.

If anyone has pointers on how to do roll call, it would be appreciated. I may be a dunce since the instructions on the site confuse me.
