Hey ballplayer, that sucks bro. Shit happens, dust off and post and IM and Phonecall whatever you gotta do. The only way to win back that trust is to be above reproach from this point on in you quit. You can do it man. When I first joined this group of badass quitters, I set a quit day. I caught hell for it, and in hindsight I deserved it cuz I was a scared little mouse, with pretty pink panties. Souliman rode me hard as did wastepanel and a few others. They also dusted me off and showed me the love. Dude I would friggin kill for DennyX, the point is that you gotta latch on 110% like a friggin tick. This has to be your addiction, you can do it. IM me if you wanna chat, trade phone numbers whatever. Welcome to your first day, you can hack it. Be a badass. Drink the KOOL-AID.

Since I joined ktc, I've been contacted by pm, text, and in the forums by many other very supportive members. All have given excellent advice and support on quitting. Yesterday I failed to utilize the resources I have here, and gave in to my addiction. One of the members pm'd me, just to check in on me. I was honest with him, and told him I had caved and was starting over from day one. He pointed out the fact, that not only have I failed myself, but I disrespected my quit group and what this site stands for. Those were not my intentions, and I apologize for it. I know I'm gonna take some shit for caving. And I deserve it. So let the beatings begin. But I will quit this time. I will use every resource possible when the craving hits. And I will not cave again. Ballplayer 76 posting roll-day one.

Welcome Ballplayer. Something that helped me a lot is coffee grounds. It looks and acts the same, and I'm pretty sure it helped me alot with the fatigue. I've been scared that I'll be addicted to coffee dipping for the rest of my life over the past 2 weeks, but I already have stretches (like 30min) where I don't even think about it, so I'm confident that it will fade out in the near future.

Just come and read whenever the cravings get too bad. Just reading all the bitching and fighting on some of these threads is enough to take your mind off it.

Hey ballplayer. It sucks and there isn't anything you can do to avoid it. A couple things helped me though. Drink lots of water and exercise. Maybe not a lot at first but do something to get your blood moving. Good luck. It gets better real soon. PM (that's private message) if you need anything.

Yes it does suck. But it still beats chewing. Hang in, you will get through this.

Never mind about telling me how to post roll. Just watched the video that ER included. Sorry, like I said, my brain isn't working too well at the moment. Will post roll soon. Think I'm going back to bed for now. Feel like shit...

Yo ballplayer, you have made an amazing choice coming to KTC to quit this stupid nicotine addiction. It is going to suck, but it gets better.

I quit with you today, PM me if you need anything.

Keep it going bro.

Thanks for the advice guys. Just woke up from a sleep marathon...woke up at regular time, then realized I couldn't have my morning dip and decided it wasn't worth getting out of bed. Feels like I'm having an out of body experience or something. Like I'm not really here, or dreaming or something. Could someone tell me how to post roll? I'm really clueless on computers. It took me 30 minutes to type this!! Not to mention I can't concentrate worth a shit...

Congratulations BallPlayer!

These guys know what they're talking about - and it makes a world of difference. I'm just on Day 4 myself, but without this site I think I would have lost my shit.

I'm proud to quit with you today, brother.

Hello everyone. Yesterday I had a biopsy done on a tiny lump in my cheek. The ENT seemed pretty confident it was nothing. And honestly, didn't seem to want to do the biopsy. But I insisted. It was so small, that I could only feel it with my tongue. My fingers couldn't feel it. But, never the less, I'm scared to death. So here I am for day one of the rest of my life. I've dipped since I was 15. Started my freshman year while playing baseball. Now I'm 35, with 3 kids, that now I'm just hoping to be able to watch grow up. Timberwolf is in the trash. I'm ready to do this. I see a lot of people talking about posting roll. Could someone explain how to do that? I'm an idiot on computers. Thanks.
Fantastic decision to quit!

I had a biopsy done a few years ago and everything came back negative still didnt help that it scared the shit outta me then i went back to the grizzly bitch! I was not proud then and now i am 34 days quit and quite proud!

Welcome brother, I agree with ER. If that stuff aint flushed down the toilet do it now. Many of times i've dumped it and scraped together a pinch from the bottom of the trash bag. Get on this site everyday to post roll(this is a must) and promise me and the rest of yer quit brothers you are quit for today. I'm glad the tobacco company lost another customer today. Buck
