Baby Steps on a long Journey...

Good job N2Q,

Way to be a bad ass and boss up on Nic.

We got your back! Welcome to the DOG House!

Congrats on a great decision. Want to solidify it? Man up and be honest with your wife. Quiting can do some messed up things to your head. Letting her know what's up
Is a good idea. Also good to be honest.


I quit with you today.

Thanks all. I posted roll today and will keep doing so. But I am feeling good knowing that I'm on a path to a better, healthier life!

Don't ever give up. There are many of us here (like me) who waited much longer than you to actually quit. I envy you and I also quit with you today! :D

You're on that path all that is left is to post roll EDD ( Every Damn Day) and make sure you reach out to your fellow quitters in January it helps a ton!!

Great to see you on Roll! N2Q - every day is a victory and you are on the path to freedom. It's no walk in the rose garden, but you dont have to go it alone either. You now have your KTC family at your side. Proud to be quit with you.

You got some great advice from some bad ass quitters. Make sure to post that roll and join your quit group. You'll be glad you did. January is a bad ass little group of quitters.

Congrats on your quit. I quit with you. Don't do like myself and wait to long to post roll. You will find it is rather rewarding along with making new friends fighting the same fight you are. If you dipped a year or 30, we are all the same fighting the same demon/demons.

I started 'dipping' 13 years ago in high school. I blame it on peer pressure and playing baseball. It was a casual habit, usually some side hack during practice or on a drive. My parents caught me once and I gave it up. No big deal right? Fast forward 4 years to my Junior year in college. The stress of hitting the books every night got to me. A dip would calm me down. Again, mostly Redman or Levi. Once I finished up college, I didn't dip for 2 years. Then one stressful day at the office had me pop one in to calm my nerves. It worked. I've been dipping on occasion for the better part of the last 5-6 years. It wasn't a consistent habit. I would dip for a couple weeks, then go without one for several weeks or even months. I didn't see myself as an addict. Last spring, I decided to give it up for good. I went 7 months without a dip. Until one Saturday, my buddy and I were going to tailgate for a college football game and I thought that it would be cool to get a good buzz on while drinking, so I bought 1 can. I've been dipping ever since, with a couple breaks here and there. But, I finally came to terms that I am an addict.

I told myself that I would quit by the time I turned 30. However, on October 1st, I decided it was time and I wasn't going to wait. I got tired of the dip burning my gums, turning them white and wrinkly, and ultimately controlling my life. My wife doesn't know that I dipped, and she would be truely upset if she found out. I couldn't hide it from her anymore so I pledged to give it up before we start a family. My future is way more important to me.

So on October 1st I did some research and found this site. I knew it wouldn't be easy so having some support will be very beneficial. After reading some of the stories, they reaffirmed that I needed to quit before I get cancer. I don't want to become a statistic.

So its been a week since I threw my last can away.The first couple days were rough, but the nicotine is finally gone from my system. The hard part now is dealing with the triggers. My triggers are basically work, golf, and sporting events. Two days ago, I almost caved. I was walking to my truck at lunch to go buy a can and was able to stop half way and turn back around. Seeds and Smokey Mountain are helping but I know I've got a long road.

I hope it gets easier...

It seems like it gets easier but its a mirage. The truth is that you get stronger so quitting daily seems easier.

I still crave (at times and have dip dreams) I still can find myself thinking that one now and again isn't bad. So I get the same feeling I had on day one but not as often and its really a piece of cake to say FU to the nic bitch.

You can't think about forever. Just get through today. The toughest day you have that you overcome....the following day...the world is amazing and that victory beats any buzz and guilt I would have suffered had I caved.

Winning is a better buzz and feeling than a false feeling you get by putting poison in your body.

That shit is nasty and you can say no today. So do it and if you wake tomorrow. Post roll and say NO! You will get stronger and it becomes easy.

Great decision and one you will never regret. ^^^ head that advice and post roll.
My advice is to be active on the site, post roll everyday and invest in your quit and help others.
Seeds, gum, fake, candy, tea bags anything to prevent a cave

I wasn't going to wait

Way to grab this shit by the balls! I'm proud of you. Keep mowing down those triggers, and we'll get you plugged in to the support group.

Scoot on over the January 2016 quit group and post roll for today. Private Message (PM) me your phone number and we'll add you to the groupme chat we have going on with a bunch of other quitters with a similar date.
