Day 2

[slinger]

That was a great intro. Very thoughtful and sincere. Congrats on making the decision to quit. I can't add much to what these other guys told you, other than to emphasize the importance of making that promise every day by posting roll. It's the foundation of what we do here. If you need anything or want to swap numbers, shoot me a PM.

From a guy who also has a couple young kids (4 and 5), looking forward to putting the NIC behind us for good. Let me know if I can help with anything and thanks for sharing your story.

[sporticus]

This guy's been texting me with questions a lot today. Proves that he's invested. Quit is strong with this one.

[Done4Me]

Nice intro. You will like it here if you like success built on routine and involvement. You seem eager to succeed and I believe you will if you approach it with a daily commitment. Nice job talking loot up on his offer. I'm going to enjoy watching his involvement in your Sept group.

[B-loMatt]

Listen to these guys^^^. Read everything on KTC and learn how we quit. Then live it, the KTC way of quit works. PM me if you need a #.

[traumagnet]

You have some hard hitters already hitting this thread and giving you great advice. Only thing I can add is get numbers from people its not ghey or weird these are tools you will need to beat the shit out of the nic bitch. Invest huge amounts of time in the beginning learning everything you can about your enemy this will be your foundation...and you know what they say about a foundation strong structure....PM me if you need a number

I had been dipping for about 22 years. Never smoked, didn't drink much, but one of my best friends offered it up(cherry skoal) i reluctantly tried it and started spinning maybe 30secs later. I bought my first can the next day. Not sure why i liked it but i did and was hooked. I started with Cherry Skoal and transitioned to Kodiak at some point and then back to skoal. Even chewed the LG Leaf for while. I played baseball into college and never dipped until after baseball ironically enough. Once i started playing tourney slowpitch the addiction really kicked in. if you weren't dipping you were in the minority. Stopped playing slowpitch after about 10 years and concentrated my efforts on golf which definitely didn't help the addiction. I travel a descent amount for work which gives me idle time to dip. doesn't matter if i am on a 13 hour flight or 1 hr flight, id have a can. If i was flying to EURO for a long trip (1 week) id make sure i had 2 -3 cans with me. It was just stupid, its embarrassing to write it. I have 2 amazing daughters and an absolute angel of a wife who loves me unconditionally. She has wanted me to quit for a long time for really no other reason than to make sure i am around for my daughters and her for a very long time. For some reason the addiction was stronger than that and i am ashamed to admit it its true. I lost my dad about 1 1/2 years ago to cancer and for some reason that didnt kick me in the a$$ enough to quit. We lost him to cancer in about 2 weeks. He found out, we talked thanksgiving day and said we needed to fly to florida to see him and to bring the girls because it was going to happen fast. My dad wasnt the healthiest man but when i arrived in florida he was up and walking around like the last time i saw him about 1 year. 1 week later he was gone. The cancer just ate him up in the matter of a week. Im sure it was in him for a while but from what we saw it it killed him in a week. I was mad, sad, all good reasons to dip regardless of what my family just went through. My girls are in HS now and although they are a pain in my butt some times i love them more than anything in this world and i realized it was finally time for me to show that. I also want to show my wife she means more to me than some stupid can of cancer. I want to quit, i dont want to end up like my dad and put my kids and wife through that because of my pour choices. I have been such a hypocrite for the longest time because i would always tell my girls and my wife, when they were going somewhere, "be good, be responsible, make good decisions, I love you" and then 2 mins later i was doing the complete opposite and stuffing that crap in my mouth. My oldest daughter just received her 1st car the other day and will have her license in about 3 weeks. My younger daughter is only about 1 year behind her. I want to be there for them when they need me and when i need them to need me. Same goes for my wife. Im stronger than i have shown the past 20+ years when it comes to this stupid addiction and its time i started acting like. I will need all of your help. I tried on my own and couldn't do it.

I visited this site a few years ago and everything i read inspired me to quit, so i did, cold turkey. I never signed up or posted roll and i was good, really good for little more than a year. Then for some stupid reason i cant even remember, although i know was leaving an Angel game (Anaheim, CA), i had the crazy urge to dip so i decide i could have 1 or even the whole can and not even flinch about quitting again. Well that was at least 3-4 years ago and i am proud to say i am now 2 days quit.

I will not have nicotine today.

Thank you, KTC

Welcome Mr. KDLforever to the only place to really "be quit" ODAAT.
You dipped 22 years...can you let it go? Do you still think about spinning? Do you understand that you are and always will be an Nicotine "addict"?
You're not here by accident...you my friend need to not drink, but GULP the KTC koolaid and learn to really hate the poison and everything that it is and has done to your dad.
Until you can truly "not want" to put nic in your mouth any more than you would drink Liquid Drano, you'll have a stoppage instead of "being quit". Noone knows which dip of poison will kill.
The tools and brotherhood here cannot be bought with money, but can with your choice/decision daily.
One day at a time. Honesty with yourself and your quit group brothers/sisters.
Post roll - you're promise
Keep your word - all damn day
Wake and Repeat
You're not alone.
40,000 quitters can't be wrong.

Full commitment to this program will make you successful. Anything less than "all-in" will put you at risk for failure.

I quit with you today.

[derv88]

Best. Introduction. Ever.

Welcome, I quit with you today, tomorrow and the next day.

[sporticus]

Double post. Blech.

Very sorry to hear about your loss. You made the right choice to come here. This is truly an amazing place. This is not going to be an easy journey. Sometimes it's going to seem impossible. But it is doable. We've all been through all the shit you'll experience. Use the resources. Lean on other quitters. Be strong. You can do this!

Got to agree here, the best decision you could make for yourself is joining here to get the poison out of your life.

I won't be easy, but it can be done. Like you I used for 23 years, started after HS when I stopped playing baseball. Have 2 teenage sons now. Coach baseball for 12 year olds with 3 other coaches that still use. Am also Boy Scout leader so felt so pathetic saying that oath and the word clean to where that, my health, the money, and just life told me to quit almost 2 years ago and here I still am.

read all that you can as the information gives you power to help.

Hang on as it will be a wild ride, 3 days to clean your system and then the mind roller coaster. Drink water, exercise, flush your body, keep busy, do anything you can to keep the poison out of your body.

You can do this. And a tip is Accountability (daily promise) + Brotherhood (make a friend) = Success (quit).

yell if you need
