HighTon not long ago I was right where you are today. I am day 97 now. Just be prepared for good and some not so good days. Days 60-75 seemed the hardest for me. Are you using any fake? That has really helped me when cravings got strong. Use all the tools available here on KTC as needed. Chat helps stay connected too. I used for 35 years and if I can do this anybody can. BTW hang in there with posting. It can be frustrating at times but soon you will be doing like a pro. Proud to be quit with you sir!

You'll start to feel better for longer, but be prepared for the bad days as well. Have a plan for when a crave hits, and make some friends in your home group. I well timed text or post can save your life.

It feels good to get past the point where it's out of your system. You know it's a hurtle you've crossed. I felt good about it. Stay vigilant though. The mind games are tough too.

Don't be afraid to share all of this in your home group (August). Might help someone out.

Good stuff HighTon. Glad to see you every day.

Make sure you get a couple #s of guys in our group. We have some studs in the crew for sure, and being able to text some of the guys during a crave is the best way to stay strong. PM me your number if you want, or reach out to some of the other guys in the group and get theirs, its important!

Hello all. I've been a dipper for nearly 25 years. I quit for 9 months a few years back, but slipped up while antelope hunting and the next thing I knew I was dipping daily again. I can still remember how great I felt as a quitter and I want that feeling back. I know the first few months will be tough, but I look forward to feeling like I don't need this crap anymore. After that, I will just need to be stronger when hunting season is upon me again (big trigger for cravings).

I will have great support from my wife. In the 8 years we have been together, she has never asked me to quit. I know that she would be happy if I did though. I didn't wake up this morning planning on quitting. It just struck me when I saw a can of mint snuff in my desk drawer from the last time I tried to quit. I immediately threw out my dip and put a mint one in.

I promise to not dip anymore today.
HighTon,
You are in the right place, but hear this, we do not try, we DO. There's a enormous difference between trying and doing. Your first step is to post roll. You can do that Here. You will be in the August group. We post roll every damn day and make a promise to our brothers  sisters here at KTC that we will not use nicotine for today. We make that same promise every damn day. It holds each and every one of us accountable to each other. Just remember, we all quit with you  we all take it one day at a time. Don't hesitate to reach out to any one on here. We are all here to support each other in our lifelong journey of Quit. Quit on!
