Thanks guys. Day 1, so far so good.

I know I read somewhere about how to post roll call in the quit groups, and now I can't find that link. Could anyone direct me there? I don't want to mess it up, ha.

welcome 350.

Good reasons, but are they really enough? Just sayin. You gotta be strong to do this. You've read a lot of stuff about guys starting, but you need to join, post in Feb 2010 and read about the daily struggle. It aint easy.

So much for doom  gloom, its the best decision you've ever made! Plus the ladies will dig you more and Seth thinks its added 3 inches to his junk. Not sure about that, but read up, make a plan, and meet your new buds in Feb, all a bunch of kick ass quitters.

Time to Quit
« on: November 20, 2010, 06:11:00 AM »
Hi everyone.

I have read a number of stories about people from here who have quit dipping after 20+ years of the habit, and while I have only been dipping for about a year and a half, I know I have to quit.

I started two summers ago when I took my lunch break with some friends from work who all liked to sit around after their meal and have a dip. They said it was a great way to take the edge off, so I tried it. I had to agree with them, it really did make my day go easier. Then of course instead of just bumming a pinch off of a friend, I started buying my own, and here I am now, going through a can a day easily; dipping from first thing in the morning until last thing before bed.

I would like to post some of the reasons for me to quit here, if only for me to come back and remind myself later.

-I'm 21, and it certainly isn't the most attractive thing to see a 21 year old guy dipping, and I'm sure it has caused some problems for me personally and professionally, even though coworkers or prospective lady friends wouldn't have out right said it.
-My mom just recovered from breast cancer, and I feel almost like I am insulting her struggle by doing something that might some day give me cancer.
-I can't afford it! Last night I had to make the decision between making sure my gas tank was full so I could make the drive home to visit my parents, and getting another can. Unfortunately I chose the can, and I bet I'll end up scraping change together to make sure I have enough gas to get me to their house.

I guess that's enough for now. I've tried to quit a few times with no real plan and I've only made it a day or two at most. All I can really hope for is to do better this time. So... begin day 1. Here I go.

Thanks.
