ironeagle221's intro

[Sh4string]

So, I too disappointed my wife a few times. Everytime she caught me I vowed to quit. Always picked it up again. Then my kids caught me and broke my heart. Quit again and hated it.

It wasn't until March 14, 2012 that I realized while getting my fix that I was an addict. I hated chew, I hated that I felt weaker than a resolve. It dawned on me that was what addiction is. Even when you hate it, you still do it. It isn't about willpower, it is about being in slavery and bondage.

Nicotine owns you right now. You can't quit for your God, Wife, Kid's, Family, Work or even your health. Great motivators but to do this, you have to see your choice is no longer and you are a slave. You have to quit because YOU want to and YOU want your freedom to choose again.

This site is the strength you need to get through the dark days. Like Shawshank Redemption, you will have to break out of your cell, climb in the sewer and keep going through the hell. You stick with the KTC plan. Don't think you are smarter or different and can alter the plan. Follow instructions with exactness. Soon you will slide out of the sewer and stand on the other side of the prison and the air will beat any buzz. The buzz fails in comparison to the fresh air of having choice again.

So welcome to hell, to get out...keep crawling through that miserable sewer. You are already out of your cell by quitting today. Keep going!!!!!

Been there....it feels good to be clean....just starting at day 24! You can do it

Hey Iron Eagle,

I was a ninja dipper(as were many of us) as well. Also, I familiar with the shame felt when lying to those you love most. It is an awful feeling - it sucks. However, I truly believe that we must quit for ourselves. The nic bitch made us lie, sneak, and fill our lip with poison. Get angry at her, get mad. She took your time and money, and for what? I have been a very calm go with the flow guy, but I lost it when I finally realized what the can made me do, and what I was doing to myself. Use it to strengthen your quit, rely on your brothers and sisters and post roll.

Welcome aboard Ironeagle. First and foremost, you will need to post Roll. Roll is your daily promise to yourself and all of your new brothers and sisters that you will not use tobacco in any form that day. You will post your name and the number of days you are quit each day in the February 2014 quit group. Each and every day you will post your promise. No exceptions. That is the price of admission to KTC. The reason you are put in February is that will be the month that you will celebrate being 100 days free of nicotineÂ…your Hall of Fame date.
Now that you know the basics, it is time to read all you can on this site. Go to the welcome center and that will get you started. Post roll and look up at your inbox (1). That is a personal message from me with my telephone number. Lets get your quit started today. Congrats on taking control of your life.

Quitting is really simple.

Read everything on here, post roll call each morning and don't dip. Wow....that sounds so easy, doesn't it?

If you read through the other intro's you may see some of my same words on them but they always hold true so I will just repeat them...

You are in for one nasty fight but you have the tools here to make it.

Go load yourself up with gum, mints, fake chew, seeds and beef jerky. Also get some member phone numbers right now, they will help you through the rough parts.

Next, exercise to exhaustion every single day and drink so much water that you feel like you may bust. Both of these will help.

Make sure your wife reads about what you are going through. 99% chance that you are going to be a short fussed dick for the next 3-4 weeks. Try not to take it out on her and the kids. Get on here and take it out on us, we will be fine.

I quit with you.

I quit with you.

I don't understand why someone would buy a child tobacco.. I do understand why we lie to the ones we love about tobacco though.

Quit with me.

Ironeagle like you I was DISGUSTED with my actions including sneaking, lying to my wife and myself. The lies for me continued for our 33 years of marriage. I certainly wanted to reverse my deceit but never could do it till the pain of continuing to dip was more painful than quitting. I detect the pain in your intro and want to let you know you are entering into dark period of your life that is filled with pain, anguish and major suck but you are more importantly entering into a time of awakening. This personal journey you are beginning doesn't have to be alone. Hundreds of other addicts with success are here to hold your hand, offer strength and hold you accountable for your daily promise.

Welcome ironeagle! I've lived the same lies with my family, but for a much longer time. I believe you have to quit for yourself, and for your own good reasons, not for someone else. Otherwise you'll find a reason to go back to your old ways. Take some time to read up n the info at KTC, then post roll and quit with us one day at a time.

Hello everyone. Where shall I begin? I started dipping snuff when I was about 8 years old. My parents would buy it for me so I wouldn't be sneaking around and stealing it from other family members. The longest I have ever went without a dip is about 5 days. I had it beat then but I couldn't beat the urge to place that dip in my jaw. I am 28 years old and at the age of 25 I was diagnosed with APL Leukemia. By the Grace of God I made it through that and been in remission for 4 years. I got married and have a wife who is totally against dipping. She said she wouldn't marry me if I kept doing it. I have been doing it behind her back for 2.5 years and she has caught me twice. I have watched her cry and cry because I lie to her. I am completely disgusted with myself and am fed up with living a lie to the person I love the most. I have final decided to quit the dip and have a long life with my wife and daughter. I look forward to this journey. I embrace the SUCK!
