Introduction

Hey everyone. Well, my journey to this point has been a long one. I was a social smoker in high school, but it never became an addiction and it was easy to quit and never look back. I had several friends that dipped and they always offered it to me, but I never had a problem staying away from it. Then, one night on my friends family farm several years ago, I gave in and thought I'd try it out. What's the worst that could happen? I had a close friend whose Dad has dipped for 50+ years and he's never had any problems. Dipping was a social thing that I would do when hanging out with friends or playing video games. Started driving a lot for work, and it quickly became a daily routine/habit...something to cure boredom or "give me energy" when I was tired on the road. I have no problem admitting that what was once a social thing became an addiction. I never once considered the effect that it was having on my body or health, in part because I didn't know but also didn't want to know.

One day last year, I saw a post that someone shared on Facebook. It was a photo of a guy who had part of his chin completely removed due to smokeless tobacco use. It scared the hell out of me, and I got rid of the partially full/empty cans that I had at the time. I'm ashamed to admit that I've since picked it up again, on and off over the past year. I'm even more ashamed to admit that my wife and I have since had our first child. I vowed to never dip again before the baby was born, but over time kept giving into my addiction.

Over the past few months, I have "quit" more times than I can remember. I'll go 2-3 weeks stretches without dipping (the most recent stretch was 2 weeks and 5 days dip free), but I somehow always fall back into the habit. In my journey to quit, I've read that support helps. That's why I'm here, because I need your help. I want to quit so badly and I want stop poisoning my body. I want to live a life free of addiction. I don't want anything to hinder me from being the best husband and father that I can possibly be.

I'm looking forward to going on this journey with you all.

Good news and bad news. Bad is that the quit sucks. Great news is that everyone else here knows exactly how hard it is and is going thru the same struggle. This is an awesome community and everyone gets it more than anyone else right now.

You can do it.im day 6 and if you decide to commit you are in our quit group. Post roll every morning weÂ’d love to have you join the Rawktober group. I will PM you my cell if you need motivation or just to bitch about it send me a text.i am early in the quit like you so we ride the tough part of withdrawal out together.

Thanks for the encouragement PAB. And major props on 1284 days clean! Yeah, IÂ’m for sure quitting for myself...once and for all. I had always thought that someday I wouldnÂ’t be an addict...but I donÂ’t see how that can happen especially given how many times IÂ’ve tried to quit. However, IÂ’m commited to not being a slave and improving my health. IÂ’ve been on and off KTC all day and IÂ’m pumped to get involved in the community. I didnÂ’t post roll today as I wanted to get to 24 hours dip free before posting in my group. Thanks again for the reply

Bull shit! If today is the day you are quitting than post that day 1 in the October group! ThatÂ’s how it works! Make your promise! You will be in the October group! IÂ’m 38 days clean in the September group! IÂ’ll message you my number! Get rid of all that shit! Get online and buy some fake if you want! I like bacoff and grind pouches! And you donÂ’t have to be embarrassed or ashamed. WeÂ’ve all been there. This shit isnÂ’t easy but itÂ’s possible! Check your messages! Make your promise today and finish this bitch!

Hey EW3116,

Been quit going on day 6. Listen to Cap70 and post today. Right now. As addicts we can talk ourselves out of anything for the sake of our addiction. Dive in right now the the KTC community with a promise to be 100% nicotine free right now for the rest of the day. I'm 100% behind you. I'm coming off a 20 year addiction and this is one of the hardest things I've ever faced in my life - but you can overcome. Let's do this!

Ew, you got this man. If you can stay quit for 2 -3 week stretches you can stay quit so I call bullshit on that. Quit caving. I'm on day 7 today. I didn't think I would make it day 2 and here I am. Kicking that nic bitch every.single.mf.day! Post roll and quit making excuses. We're here for you brother.

EW3116,

We all in it together! Hit roll, and stay nicotine free for one day at a time. Im only on day 9, but the struggles of day 1 are still fresh in my mind.

Check your PM's.

Ok EW as long as youÂ’re quitting for yourself first and foremost you need to read and learn how to post roll. You get that done and advice and support will be abundant. I was a 38 year junky. IÂ’m proud to say because of Ktc and these wonderful people IÂ’m 1284 days clean from nic. The longest stretch before Ktc maybe 6 months one time. So if you post roll early every damn day and buy into Ktc way it works! I quit with you today!
