Thanks for the words. Just wanted to introduce myself. Simply working towards quitting one day at a time for the rest of my life.

Best of luck.
Other than this intro, you had a total of 5 posts the first time you tried.

It's obvious you didn't use this site the way it was intended. This is your chance to change that, but first you have to change the way you think about quitting.

I want to zero in on your words above. Quit is on or off... you are quit or you are not. There is no working towards it, no luck, no try. Put your name on roll call. Treat that as your sacred promise. do whatever you have to to get through the day. Doesn't matter how hard it is, or what is going on in your life... if you put your name on roll, you gave me your WORD that you will not use today. No matter what. Do this and you are quit. Do anything else and you will cave- it is just a question of when.

The 3 questions that these other dooshbags are trying to get you to answer? These questions have a purpose... they are to get you to think about why you failed and how you can prevent it.

Don't take the support they are offering you lightly.... They will have your back if you let them.

Antagonize a person and call them a douchebag and tell them to eff-off. It's the best way to communicate!
Enav,

I'm really not big on the "false bravado" that I interpret many things here as either, but I'm also not big on people coming into someone else's house and taking a big old dump on the floor. That's what you're doing right now. There are rules of this site, and some of those are that if someone who previously caved comes back, they make a sincere answer to the 3 questions that have been posed to you. The purposes are for you to really have a plan for how to make it different, not just, well it's different because I'm different and honestly for people to see if you're serious before they put time and energy into helping you with your QUIT because everytime I reach out to someone and then they later cave, it hurts my Quit because that is time, energy and effort I could have been using to build a positive support network.

It's a big internet. This website isn't for everyone. There are other websites about quiting tobacco and nicotine, but if you're going to be on this one, you need to answer the 3 questions with meaning and join my Titans of Quit on roll call with the answers. If not, look elsewhere, but either way, Good Luck with your Quit.

You know the one thing that irritated me a bit the first time I came here was what I would consider asshats. People who communicate such as Skidoo.

The point is this. I don't need tough love, or head games from people like you Skidmark. I had no prior knowledge of it being a prerequisite or requirement for me to answer those three questions to post roll after a cave. Especially a cave nearly 2 years ago. When I found this site initially I recognized behavior such as yours. It repulsed me then as it does now. But I'll answer the questions for you.

1) I caved... Duhh
2) I did not quit for me, I quit for others.
3) not cave, I quit for me this time.

That doesn't take a week for me to ponder. So again to reiterate. I didn't sneak in here trying to hide something I knew nothing about. I came the first time in 2012 did some reading for a day or so. Jumped in the chat room and was more less pressured into quitting. With that I was quitting mainly because my wife hated it. Fast forward to now. I'm ready, I come back read some, post roll and then post a intro. Now I'm dealing with you. Lol anyway, I don't care if you trust me. I don't trust you. Further I don't know you. I'm going to really consider if I want to participate in this community. It does have plenty of good features but has negative connotation to it as well. And I'm not really wanting that vibe surrounding me. I will await to read your response as to how I can't quit any other way but this way.
You are the one that caved and is crawling back. Lose the BS attitude and answer the questions like you care. Your answers are garbage and show no thought. If you are too good for that then you can hit the road as far as I'm concerned.

Wtf is an asshat anyhow? Does me telling you that you need to answer 3 questions better make me one?
I'm with Derk. You should know better! You want the help and support of KTC? You came back for a reason, and that's b/c you know trying to quit on your own hasn't worked, but you haven't bothered to learn what it takes... I am the last one here to give tough love. I like to be positive and encouraging, but if you are a douche bag and can't humble yourself enough to follow the proven path, then go fuck off. I caved several times after stoppages, but not once since I started giving my word every damn day... If the 3 questions are too much for you go TRY and quit on your own or with some other support group. GOOD LUCK! PM me if you want to ask any questions, but if you are not ready to do it the KTC way don't waste our time...

I also believe your old quit group and new quit group need the following 3 questions answered:

1. What happened?

2. Why did it happen?

3. What will you do differently?
What sucks the most...is that you were originally a Jackwagin. How embarrassing!!! Now here you are...trying to sneak back in...knowing that you had to answer some questions first. It's a shame we even had to ask for them! You should've spent this past week thinking what to write in your answers. Instead, you write a silly introduction...including how much you enjoyed dipping the past 3 years?! I hope I'm wrong about you...but, I don't trust you...yet.

It is obvious that you need to educate yourself. Start reading the welcome center and keep reading everything here... Glad to hear you are ready to quit.

Welcome.

Like Grizz said... A change in your way of thinking is required. You absolutely have to get over the "how much I enjoyed it" thought process. It's an anchor. What you really enjoyed was not going through withdrawal. Don't "hope" to remember how bad the beginning feels... Actively work on keeping that at the front of your mind.

Get involved... Stay involved.
It works bro...
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

Hi group. My name is Elton. From Louisiana and my quit date is July 19, 2014. Day 1  2 were not bad. Yesterday was day 3, not fun at all! Ok, it was pretty much horrible. I am thankful that I feel a lot better today on Day 4. This isnt my first rodeo with quitting, but its been a while and even longer since I was at this stage in a quit. I quit for a very long time in the past and relapsed a few years ago. Finally, I have arrived at a point where I want quit for myself and myself alone. Its been a exhausting process just to arrive here. I remember the first time I quit, not wanting to sacrifice the days without dip to take just one because nobody can have just one. With that the sense of accomplishment after you stack years up of not dipping. I know the the importance of never letting your guard down. Those days and years were a great deterrant until I found myself in a tremendous financial hardship a few years ago. Then, I dropped my guard and I remember thinking I can take a few pulls and put it down. Just enough to relax and satisfy these chest pains. LOL, I quickly realized how much I enjoyed it and been at it again for coming up approaching 3 years. My the time flys fast. I did get on here once, posted for a few days but wasnt prepared to quit for myself and decided to stay on the "D" train. So, I finally got myself to the right place of wanting to quit for myself and I'm determined to make it stick this time. Though its very early in my quit and I am only on day four, I am most thankful for yesterday. I hope I forever rembember how I felt yesterday. It will be the driving force of what deters me from ever making another skoal purchase or dip. I never want to feel like that again. I know I have the resolve and discipline to stay quit. All in all, blessed to be here. Gonna keep quitting one day at a time!
Just to be clear. You never quit before, you just stopped for a little while. Quitting requires a change in thinking, executed by a one day at a time philosophy. If this truly is your final quit, then you need to realize that those so called quits of the past, were actually just stoppages.

You can do this. Post roll every day, and make some friends. Follow the path.

I quit with you today.
