Derk40

[Minny]

I got 2 brother in-laws that dip, I am waiting for the day they want to be quit. I spoke to one regarding this site as he asked on how my quit was going, so maybe some interest there. I hope your friend decides to be quit soon derk40, and damn proud to be quit with you today!

I also finding myself wanting to preach the gospel to others that I know and even those I don't about KTC and the fact that quitting is not really as hard as everyone makes it seem. I have really started to notice Ninja Dippers everywhere. I have thought about making up some business cards with the web address to this site to share with them. The advertisements for smokeless on the gas pumps really get my goose I wish I had some KTC bumper stickers to slap on top of those ads. I came across this site looking for an painless way to quit dip 4 or 5 years before I was ready to actually quit ( I remember not making it much past a couple of intro's of those in the suck before I high tailed it out of here). Point is we need to keep having the conversations with are friends and family so they know the resource is here and when and if they are ready they will come! Proud to be a member of this army of bad asses.

Here you go my man! Printable business cards.

These are great! I wish I had some with me yesterday; the internet installation guy had a dip in for all three hours he was at my house. I steered him toward KTC and he wrote down the website but he was going on and on about chantix and nicorette. As Derk says, it requires a more conservative approach when it's a stranger and it's in person.

Day 325... Well, I was hanging with a good buddy of mine this evening. He is a major Copenhagen dipper and has been trying to quit for a while and just can't. We were at his house and his wife mentioned something about ... "I thought you were quitting.... And that you were using the fake stuff." I started throwing out words like Smokey Mt and Hooch! He dipped the entire evening... My old brand.... was I tempted?? .. Not a fucking chance!!!! Because I made a promise this morning to all you. My arse is quit.

I don't think it is my place to preach to those that aren't ready, but we sort of naturally went into a discussion about how I quit, I talked about KTC a bit and let him read my HOF speech. I have not had this sort of discussion with anyone but Mrs Derk. I'm sure he never knew I dipped as much as I did... But I felt I needed to tell him. It felt a bit uncomfortable at times but maybe it will help him. I am shooting him an email with the KTC website and I hope to see him post a day 1.

As an aside... I was on a plane today sitting next to a guy that had his Coke bottle spitter stashed in the seat pocket in front of him... I have never been so thankful to NOT be that guy. Felt great to be quit. Saw a few other guys with tins stashed in their pockets while hanging with their families. I used to be that poor SOB.

I am glad I found you people. Quit with you all day long.

You are one of the pillars of accountability in my quit. So much more comfortable to talk to your friend now than wishing you did when you are sitting next to his hospital bed wishing him farewell. The ability to help each other through good times and bad, and have "real" conversations is ultimately what makes a friend a friend and not just an acquaintance. I am glad you shared this. I am heading on a trip later this week with some guys I only see a couple of times a year (riding group I travel with). There is one dipper in that group. I will be wearing my new KTC T-shirt when I roll in Thursday night to hook up with the group. QLFEDD!!! Thanks.

Good stuff Derk. Letting our friends who dip know how we quit is all we can do; they must make the choice to quit when they are ready. The fact is that KTC offers the accountability, information, and support needed to help us quit cold turkey, but only when we are ready to make it work. Funny how the perspective changes to the point where we feel sorry for guys with tin rings... Quit with you every day!
Also, Sam rock that KTC shirt with pride!

Saw my friend again today. No dice on quittin yet. He is still locked down by the B. Man, it is a lot easier to give advice on this website! Face to face comms with someone not quite ready requires more of a conservative approach.

He is a great guy. I hope he sees the light soon. The seed has been planted. If he does I will be here to support him and I know you all will be here as well. Freedom is a beautiful thing.

Proud to be quit today with all you quitters today.

There w ya D40. A buddy of of 17yrs knows I quit at his New Years Eve party 2+ yrs ago. We have lunch once a month and somewhere during lunch the topic of Copenhagen always comes up. I usually let him bring it up but sometimes I ramble about the awesomeness of this site. I stand by..... waiting for him to be "ready".

Think during our next conversation I will simply ask "What are you waiting for"

Day 304... When I hit the 3rd floor the other day I felt obligated to make an insightful post. I went to the keyboard that day and came up empty. No big deal. I was just happy to be quit.

After watching some of the action in the intros lately, it was really clear to me why I remain a 100% roll poster, why I am all-in with KTC and why I am committed to quit with you today. It comes down to one word... Relationships. The KTC plan is simple ... Post roll and keep your word. Any idiot can do that. But there is a little more to it if you want this to work... The glue that makes that simple plan work is the relationships built in this process. After all, what good is my word if I am committed to no one but myself. I have made some good friends in this process.
Quite honestly, I would just assume chop off my right hand before I grabbed a tin of Copenhagen and crapped on 304 days of quit while letting myself and all you down. That may sound extreme but that is where I'm at with this quit.

Relationships matter at KTC. When I started this journey on 23JUN2014 I think this is a place I HAD to be. Over time it has evolved into a place I WANT to be. I have no exit strategy. I am quit with you all today. Thanks for having my back and holding me accountable.

When I compare whats been going on this week on some of the threads and compare them to you and your journey it makes me laugh. Derk you are one solid quitter and give a lot of strength to all of us. As for some of screwed up "quitters" lately I have to ask "What did the old man trade for these assholes, a used puck bag?"

Ha! We are all screwed up and that is why we are here. We unscrew ourselves daily and get back a little bit more of ourself that was lost to the nic B. Quit on!

Congrats on the 3rd floor. This site does work because of the relationships and accountability. If I don't post roll, I want someone to bust my balls. That's why I am on here every day as well. If someone feels like they can do it all on their own, then maybe, just maybe this is not the place to be. We hold each other accountable. I see someone not posting roll, I attempt to reach out and I would expect the same if I am absent. It has been an eventful week, one that if hope we all can learn from. Glad to be quit with ya.

Derk is a true badass. Thanks for being a great example.

Congrats my friend!! This site is what it is because of people like you! I am glad to be quit with you every damn day!!

I wish there was a word to describe the most badass of the badasses. That is the word I would use to describe Derk40 as it relates to quitting. You're words have helped me a lot in my quit and I appreciate your willingness to pour yourself into our quits!!

Congrats and keep kicking ass!
