Olly’s TBE Speech
So hi im Olly and honestly before KTC I never thought I would be here at this point in my quit but I am; and very grateful for it. Before KTC I tried quitting on my own for probably a week and it didn’t stick I ended up going back and even heavier this time.
I started dipping that shit when I was 16 it was a Friday night at my High school football game with my Baseball teammates I ended up arguing with my girlfriend at the time and asked our short stop for a lip and that was that, Until June 16th, 2017 The night before I decided that the can I was dipping was going to be my last.
I took my last lip out at noon on June 16th, 2017 I haven’t looked back since. I don’t know if it was realization that set in or what but my first 3-4 quit days were probably my easiest days in the beginning. I was just over dipping and it didn’t get my rocks off anymore. My entire family smokes or dips or chews, I was encouraged to quit when 3 people in my family quit smoking that were probably the heaviest nicotine users in our family besides me. I was dipping anywhere from a can to 2 ½ cans a day. I would even dip when my gums would become raw and got through the pain just to have that nic in me. I just didn’t see the point in paying some company to kill me which basically is what you’re doing. I took back my life. In that time I wasted over 16,000 dollars and lost approximately 1 year and 4 months of my life during that time dipping.
I came across KTC around the 4th or 5th day and immediately wanted to join. I loved everything about the website. KTC helped me big time and I dedicated my time to this website and appreciate every ones help that text me during my hard times that I had and yes when I needed help they were there through the website or through my phone. There is even a 911 emergency section. I still get spiked urges from time to time even now at day 100 and the dip dreams too. They don’t leave you cause were always addicts and forever will be addicts and fight that urge from day 1 to 100 to forever. Make yourself better and never go back to putting those turds in your mouth it’s not worth it. Trust in your group they are always there for you because we are also walking in your shoes as well or at least have. Share your phone number with members it helps when you need a quick ear to listen to you to blow off steam.
I’m glad I’m quit today with all my September Brothers and KTC brothers cause were all in this together.
