I had been dipping worm dirt for over 30 years. I had tried to quit over a dozen times. In some cases the quit lasted only two hours. For years I was resigned to a life tied to the habbit of an ignorant fool. For years I thought I was all alone in the strugle to quit snuff, until I found KillThe Can.org.
This time it is different. My quit started July 3, 2012. Today marks 87 days without any snuff. I am not going back this time. I will never, ever put that nasty worm dirt in my mouth again!
i can't imagine doing the first 87 days of my quit without this place. you, sir, are a badass quitter. you've done the hard work alone, but we're all still here to help you with your quit. there is still a lot of hard work and tough times ahead, so don't ever think that you can do this without a strong support network.
i have two support systems. my real-life friends and KTC. my RLFs are great and have been supportive. some dip and some smoke, and they've been great about not dipping around me (without asking first at least), supporting me in general, and really watching my back.
what KTC provides, though, is a group of other folks quitting, a group of people with your same addiction fighting your same demons. KTC is both your sword and your shield. you'll get a ton of knowledge to help you go on the offensive against your addiction; we'll also be here to help you when the nic bitch is fighting back and has you on the ropes.
the thing with a sword and shield is that they need to be used to be effective. KTC ain't some harry potter-lord of the rings-eragon bullshit where the swords magically fly into action. you've got to pick us up, let us know what's going on, and USE us. you have to be proactive in your offensive and defensive quit.
good to have you here, damn glad that you've made it this far alone, and looking forward to seeing you post actively.
