"Your Quit"
I ran across a post this morning on the official QuitNet Facebook page asking about quit mantras. It’s been a while since I thought about it, but I realized that I did in fact have a mantra that got me through quite a few difficult times during my quit. I managed to hunt [...]
I received an email from a member the other day with some interesting feedback. As you know we’re big fans of smokeless alternatives for dealing with the oral fixation that is part of our addition to smokeless tobacco. For some quitters, these fake dips can be an amazing tool in their fight [...]
I wanted to share something with you that I recently ran across on the quit forums. We talk all the time about how our site is built on accountability. I’m often asked how we’re different than other groups out there and what makes us “better”. I’ve talked about that in this post and [...]
If you’ve been keeping up with the blog or our Facebook page, you know that today is the 6 year anniversary of KillTheCan.org. It’s been an incredible day on the forums with a HUGE turnout for our one-day, site-wide roll call. I’d like to once again thank everyone involved for [...]
I don’t know about you, but as the calendar turns to November, my thoughts turn to the holidays. We’re past Halloween and next up on the list is one of my favorites… Thanksgiving!

I get asked on the forums quite often about heartburn when quitting dip. Is it normal? Does it get better after you quit? Does it get worse when you quit? What’t the deal?

The topic of other nicotine (cigars, cigarettes, snus, nicotine patches, gum, etc.) and if they’re “allowed” for a quitter on KillTheCan.org comes up quite often on the forums and I wanted to put this post together so the next time it comes up I’ve got my response ready to roll. First, [...]
What’s YOUR quit story? Have you told it before in your Hall Of Fame speech? Have you talked about your trials and tribulations on Quit4Today.com (a blog for quitters by quitters if you’re not familiar). Whether you’re an accomplished author, a small time blogger or just a quitter with a story… [...]
I was asked the other day how I keep my quit “fresh” in my mind. There are quite a few people that utilize the forums religiously for the first 100 days of their quit and then fade away. Unfortunately, more often than not, they show up a few months (or years) later posting [...]
I found out late last week that I’d been asked in for an on-site interview with a company that I’d be very excited to work for. SCORE! The interview / role is in a location about 4 hour from home so you know what that mean… ROAD TRIP! After I came down from my initial [...]
