Lot's of bad ass quitter already laid it out for you; listen to them. There is a welcome center here start your reading there. There is a section for spouses. Have your GF read it after you come clean to her. The more accountability you build the stronger your quit, and coming clean will start burning your bridges. Do not leave the way back to being a slave available to yourself, burn your bridges.

READ EVERYTHING ON KTC! Once you have read everything then read it again. So much knowledge here. The Drug pushers at big tobacco are dependent on misinformation and myth to replace the customers they kill with their poison. Educate yourself. Learn the KTC plan. Live the plan. The plan works!

Yes quitting sucks. First week is hellish. First month is rough, and next few weeks/months are a rollercoaster of good days and bad, but at some point it gets better. The beautiful thing is that all you need to do is get through one day at a time. You have the power. I promise you that the poison will not find its way into your body unless you put it there... PM me if you need a number or have any questions. You gonna let a poison weed beat you?

Welcome to the November group BH89, stick with us.

Yup. x2 for the vote to come clean to your girlfriend. Trust me, it was zero fun the night I finally fessed up to my wife that I had been ninja dipping for the past 4 years. Hell, she gave me a verbal beatdown that would have made some of the best cave shamers here blush. But it had to happen. We need that accountability to help keep our addiction in check.

Honestly, it was a relief to finally come clean. Yes, it took her a while to get past that initial anger and sense of betrayal, but I know for a fact that she respects me more for owning up to it. She deserves to know the real you - addict and all. You might even be surprised. The good ones tend to eventually come around and be a source of support for our sorry asses.

Bighurt89,
Show her the site and ask her for help and support.
It is a lot easier to be active on the site with her knowing and understanding.
A lot of us where ninja (secret) chewers and it is hard stepping forward and owning up to it.
But your quit is something you should be proud of and not have to hide like your addiction.
PM me for digits,

Bighurt, Idaho Spuds has got it right on. It's going to suck, but it is important that you let the ones around you know about your decision to quit. Once you do that you have initiated this little thing called accountability.

Accountability is one of the key tenets of this community and will be something that you and I and every quitter on this site shares as we remain quit. You have what it takes control this addition.. realizing that you are addicted to nicotine is a major step. Just keep adding tools to your quit. Accountability is a very important one to by your side. As Idaho Spuds said, "Be proud of your quit."

"college football team"...right off, that tells me you're smart...but your not TOO DAM SMART if you keep stuffing your pie-hole! Post roll with these November Stone Cold Quitters...they got a fine team and will keep your ass in line. If you're a team player you are going to love this quit machine. QLF

Welcome to November aka the Stone Cold Quitters.

You have quit for more than a few days before so you know what the first 3 days are like.

One issue I have is you can NOT be quitting for your girl, you have to be quitting for YOU.

Also, it looks like you already learned one valuable lesson, you are a NICOTINE ADDICT. You can NEVER put that shit in your mouth again. Its just the way it is. Our brains are hardwired for nicotine for life. Don't feed the nicotine bitch ever again.

I was nicotine free for 5 years at one point. ONE dip to keep myself awake 8 years ago turned into an 8 year Grizzly Wintergreen pouches orgy.

One thing you must understand about KTC, its about NICOTINE...period. The gum, patches, electronic cigs are ALL off limits. Hell it would be easy to quit dip by chewing 10 pieces of nicorette a day.....for the next 10 years.

Hello everyone,

I am 24 years old and have been chewing for 11 years, with a four month hiatus at the start of 2014. I started chewing when I started playing football for reasons I can't even remember anymore. At my peak, about 3 years ago in college I was chewing about two cans a day. On my college football team I was one of the guys that would always be chewing.

While I was in college I started dating a women, whom I am still dating, and got to know her family. Her grandparents were both big smokers and last December her grandfather lost his battle with lung cancer. Now at this point I was hiding the fact that I was still chewing from my girlfriend and when I would spend the night at her house, she still lived with her parents, I would sleep in the basement. Being in the basement alone, I would chew before going to bed and simply hide the evidence every time. Well the day of her grandfathers funeral I was in the basement getting ready, with a dip in of course, and she unexpectedly came into the basement and of course discovered me enjoying my dip.

Talk about terrible timing. Well at that point I felt that I had no choice but to stop for her, our relationship, and of course for my own health and well being. So I picked February 1st 2014 as my quit date and rather than chewing up to that date, I switched to Nicotine Lozenges. I was successful in quitting but one night after golfing with some buddies and drinking a few too many beers, I succumbed to my cravings and bought a tin of Copenhagen. Well its been downhill from there until I decided to stop being a pussy a couple of days ago.

I am not going to tell my women about my little slip up because she doesn't have an addictive personality like me and thus wouldn't fully understand what it is like. This is pretty much how I stumbled upon this site.

As before, I am pumped up and ready to stop this useless addiction, however as everyone here knows, its easy to lose focus and cave in. I am going to try and be a real man this time and give this shit up for good.

Welcome to KTC. The best decision you have ever made. Get some tough skin, some balls, and be ready to meet some cool people. I have a couple of things to say to your entry. Here it goes....

Click on my name and read about roll in the two links in my info. This is the foundation of KTC. You are a member of November 2014 quit group. Go to that group in the community section and introduce yourself. Ok bud, now for the hard part. Tell your girl about your fuck up. The old liar is gone and the new you is an honest and respectable quitter and person. After you tell her the truth, you will begin to quit, not "try". We do not try. We quit. Caving is off the table. Private message me if you want to talk some more. Once again, welcome aboard.

Are you serious and off all forms of nicotine at this point. Two items jumped out at me .... Are you quitting for you or her ..... If it is not for you then you will fail!

The other item - you mention having an addictive personality -- I think it is a total cop out BS excuse that people use all the time.... You are a nicotone addict - it is that simple and not your personalility!
