Make This Year The Year You Quit Dipping — For Good
Every year, thousands of people “resolve” to quit dipping — but traditional New Year’s resolutions don’t work for most people. In fact, typical New Year’s resolution success rates are low. However, your chances of success can be dramatically higher if you quit with purpose, preparation, and community support behind you.
Why Now — Not Tomorrow?
Procrastination is one of the biggest barriers to quitting. Many people tell themselves they’ll quit “on New Year’s Day” or “after the holidays” — only to watch those dates come and go with no progress. The truth is: there’s no perfect day to quit. Today is as good a day as any — and all the support you need is waiting for you.
What Happens When You Quit
Quitting dipping isn’t easy — that’s real. But the benefits are profound and life-changing:
• Improved Health
You instantly start reducing your risk of oral cancers, heart disease, and other health problems linked to smokeless tobacco. Regular improvements begin within weeks of quitting.
• Better Oral Health & Breath
Gums begin to heal, teeth stay cleaner longer, and bad breath starts fading. Your mouth really does feel fresher.
• Stronger Self-Esteem
Former dippers often describe quitting as a major confidence boost — a reclaiming of control over their habits and life.
• Reduced Stress & Anxiety
It might feel stressful at first, but once you get past the early withdrawal stage, many people find they’re less tense and emotionally weighed down by cravings.

Tips to Stay Quit (Every Day, Not Just Jan 1)
Here are a few strategies that really work:
• Build Daily Habits
Set small goals like “I won’t use dip today,” and repeat them every morning. Tiny wins build momentum.
• Understand Your Triggers
Certain situations — like drinking alcohol or stress — make cravings worse. Recognizing triggers helps you plan ahead.
• Lean on Support Tools
Forums, chats, quit calculators, and guides — all are designed to keep you focused and empowered.
• Think Beyond Quit Day
The goal isn’t just to “stop today” — it’s to stay quit tomorrow, and the next day, and beyond. Accountability helps you make that long-term commitment real.
Stay Accountable After You Quit
Quitting is one decision. Staying quit is a series of decisions — especially in the early days.
The KillTheCan Quit Log is our ongoing newsletter for people who are serious about staying dip-free. It’s where we share encouragement, perspective, reminders, and real-world advice to help you keep moving forward.
Your Quit Starts Now
Whether you choose Jan 1 or today, the important thing is action. Make your quit intentional — not just a resolution that fades by February.
You’re stronger than the cravings. You’re not alone. And the KillTheCan community is here to walk with you every step of the way.
Quit. Stay Quit. Regain Your Freedom. 💪
You can make a New Year’s resolution — or you can make a New Year’s decision.
Not “I’ll try.” Not “maybe.” Not “after this can.”
If you’re reading this, you’re already closer than you think.
This is some great stuff, Chewie.
It’s pretty obvious that it’s New Years again. If you lived in a cave and only had TV commercials to gauge the time of the year by, you would be able to tell New Years apart from any other. The number of “our product will make your resolution stick” commercials is through the roof. There’s a pill for your weight, there’s some vapor smoking thing to help folks quit smoking, there’s the magic belt that all you have to do is put it on and it’s going to give you a six pack. The list goes on and on.
So here’s my version of the QSX commercial. Quitting ain’t easy. No one will tell you that there is an easy way to do it. We can’t give you any little pill that is going to undo all of the triggers you’ve built up with your addiction. But what we can do is give you a place surrounded by others that know exactly what you’re going through and be proof that it can be beaten because we are beating it, everyday. If you’re looking for easy, turn on the TV and break out your checkbook. When that doesn’t work, join us at QSX and make your promise to not dip for today. Then do it again tomorrow when that comes around.
