Title: Hardcore Dipper
Post by: dgc74 on October 04, 2016, 01:34:00 PM
Hi All - on day 3 after 1.5 to 2.5 cans a day for last 25 years...started back in the day to lose extra water weight wrestling, and have never looked back. Quit once a few years back for 3 months.

In terms of work and kid duties, I always burn the candle at both ends and I kid myself that dipping would give me the energy to go non stop. I burned through 3 cans this saturday driving to watch the kid play junior hockey and I thought what a waste......mouth and gums fucked up, currently feel dizzy, lightheaded and weird chest pains...I want to be Quit for Good....gonna give it another whirl...

Nope.

Don't "give it a whirl". The attitude behind that isn't committed... isn't serious... isn't all in.

You never Quit before... you stopped. For a bit.

If you're serious about this, learn what it means to join a quit group and post roll daily with your promise to quit. It's how we do things here and... it works.

Jump all in, bro. You won't regret it.

You don't sound like a guy who does things half-ass, why quit half-ass. If you want it, get it!

^^^^ yep, you gotta go all in. This ain't easy. Simple, yes; easy, no way. Learn how it works sign up daily, and give it all. All you have is all it takes.
You can do it though, if you go beyond a "whirl" like AJ says! Glad you're about to step in!

No roll post? In my book that equals someone not serious about their quit. Just sayin....

Let's try this on: I'll go ahead dip tonight, I will stop tomorrow. Sound familiar to all of us until we got serious about our quit and quit then and there and never looked back! Sack up, be a man, it's not easy and you better damn well be serious about quitting or your wasting all of our time. This could literally be life or death, we choose life!

Good job posting. And if you're feeling temper, that's normal. The withdrawal is so tough- but day by day you can get through and win. I remember early on that it took a 5 minutes by 5 minutes approach sometimes for me, when the headache was bad. And then the fears that popped up as my mouth shed it's lining after a few weeks quit. And the fog that lasted forever. But day by day, you get through it as long as the determination is there. Keep at it, more than whirling, you're really quitting now.... glad to quit alongside you today!

It's a weird ass journey, this quitting. You're gonna find out things about yourself you hadn't realized because we used nicotine as a balm or a replacement. One thing I hope you tap into soon is pride in yourself and... just how awesome it is t be free of the need to manage your addiction.

Rock on...

Great work!!! This is a place we don't mince words, we dish it and take it. and we are serious about quitting.
One thing that is great about KTC is you can rage, yell, cuss, bitch, and generally be an asshole and we get it because we have been through the first week as well.
But we would rather have you do that here with us than, take it out on your family, etc.

Glad to have you aboard,
ID Spuds
