Here we go again

Normally I respond with something to the effect of, "why the F are you waiting till tomorrow" but seeing how the day is almost doneÂ….fuck that. Why the F are you waiting till tomorrow. Did you read what you just wrote? Stained teeth, painful gums,Â…a mouth that feels like your fingers after soaking them in hot water for 2 hours.

Well, regardless what you do tonight, I assume you've had a dip today, so tomorrow will be your day 1. Day 1 of freedom. No nicotineÂ….in any way, shape, or form. It's going to suck balls too. You've come to KTC, asking for help. Stating that tomorrow is your day 1 and you're apprehensive about it. Well, first off if you are serious about this quit, then KTC will be your rock. The pillar to support your quit. There is much to say about KTC, but most of it you'll need to learn for yourselfÂ…to do this, read everything. Join the chat room. But, the first thing you must learn is to post roll. Write your name in the June quit section and promise to yourself, your fellow June Quitters, and KTC that you will not use nicotine for that day. Not only are you now accountable to yourself, but thousands of others. Then do the same the next dayÂ…we'll worry about the next day's quit when you get there. Lastly, throw your apprehension out the window. You either go into this 110% or Â…you will fail. Create a support network should you feel a crave you can't cope with, we'll talk you off the ledge. PM me if you need a life line or anything. Lets do this brother!

First things first, congratulations on your decision to quit.

Second, got to the welcome area and read all the welcome stuff, pay particular attention to how to post roll.

Then go to the June 2014 quit group and post roll. You'll be in that class.

The next thing, get in touch with people, reach out, build a network.. the difference between your last two stops and your final quit is going to be accountability. When you get that wild hair up your ass next time, you'll have people that you can reach out to and who you will give your word every damn day (EDD) that you won't put that shit in your lip.

I wish I was 24 and taking my quit as seriously as I am now at 37, and I'm sure there are guys on here who are in the 40's, 50's, 60's and beyond who wish like hell they were here at age 24.

Big thing to remember is that posting roll is your promise to yourself and to your accountability partners to not dip today... just have to not do it today, tomorrow will soon be today and you can work on today again, but you only quit one day at a time.

Hi fellow quitters,

Here we go again. I'm quitting that monster we call chew, again. I was introduced to chew when I was 15, on a golf course after school. I remember everything about that first time. I quickly found myself asking older friends to buy me a can here and there. My addiction quickly grew from a dip or two a day, to half a can, up to where I am now, which is a 1-1.5 cans a day, grizzly straight. As we speak today, I'm 24 years old and have already quit dipping twice. Both times I've quit I've been dip free for a little under a year, big deal right? Both times I relapsed it was during the summer, and a wild hair ran across my mind to get a tin and I cracked, both times. The most recent relapse was July of 2013. Here we are now almost done with February of 2014 and I've had enough, for the final time. It's costing me about $7 a day, my mouth has become beyond raw and I'm just starting to tell that my addiction is in the early stages of really doing damage to my body. My teeth are stained, my gums hurt, I wake up in the morning and my cheeks are textured where I had dipped the day before. I wanted to make this time count so I joined this website forum. I want that support, advice, kick in the pants to hold me accountable for my actions. I went shopping today and stocked up on the essentials of a quit. Gum, hard candies, and plenty of bottles of water. Tomorrow is Day 1 and I'm ready but apprehensive. See, this time my quit is happening while I'm employed, I've had to move back in with my parents. and my two co workers both smoke. Sorry to ramble, hope I covered the basics, still learning how this forum works and don't want to post anything out of place. I thank you all for your support and time for reading this.

Tyler
