day 1

......I dipped for around 25yrs.enjoyed the hell out of it and will miss it.

Man, you really have to fix your way of thinking. Stop romanticizing nicotine and tobacco. I used to think that way, but I now look back on it and there's honestly not one thing that I actually enjoyed. Seriously..... nothing. That's just your addiction fooling you by hijacking your reward systems. If you keep fond memories, you are leaving the door open. You'll at some point accept "just one" to relive those so-called wonderful times. My best advice is to spend some time seeing addiction for what it is..... a pack of lies. If you need a little help, tell us exactly what it was that you think you enjoyed about nicotine addiction.

The constant worry over not running out of dip?
The disgusting spit bottles (unless gutting it).
The burning throat?
Having to avoid kissing family members due to a mouth full of death?
The constant bad breath?
Wasting increasing amounts money you could be using for your family?
I could go on.....

I'm not trying to be a prick here, but this attitude shift strengthened my quit early on. Read my HOF speech. Emotion helps a quitter........ but only if focused correctly. You and I are about the same place in life. I have 3 young kids, a wife, and I'm almost 39. I chewed and dipped for about 20 years.

You can do this. It gets much better.
Let me know if I can help you any way.

Listen to radmen, he speaks the truth. All the POISON ever did for you was take. Stole your freedom while taking your dignity. Costed you 1000,S depending on how long you were An idiot like me.

To be fair let me make a list of things it did for you.



I'm sorry, i got nothing!!!
Start getting your mind right or you won't make it a week...

We all should have quit for good earlier. Knowing why you went back to it will help yourself as well as others. Throw it out there, then don't look back again. Learn to post roll and shout to anyone and everyone if you need help.

Hey there Bulldog, just try to remember about those below.

If not just read up, look at the information here on the site, It is here to help you along with the hundreds of addicts like you that will reach out if you are willing to accept and feel the same.

Welcome to ktc. I see you said you had stopped for 11 months?

I am glad to see you taking control of your life. This site will save you. I quit a hundred time's and failed every time till I found this site and all these bad ass quitters that, wanted to see me beat this horrible addiction. 90 day's ago I quit for the (first) time. I have been quitting everyday since. I saw that you posted roll. Congratulation's on that, just do it early every single day and if you ever need anything at all just pm me. I quit with you today.
