Welcome to the site Masonruss!
I too was raised in the country (sticks of Tennessee) and started dipping when I was 15. I kept at it for over 10 years and I am now 35 days nicotine free. This site will help you stay accountable to your quit. The key is to post roll every morning. Posting roll is your promise to the fellow quitters in your group to quit nicotine for that day. Don't think ahead, just think about today. I bet you can quit for one day, then tomorrow, wake up and think about quitting for that one day. One day at a time (ODAAT).
Your foundation for quitting will only be as strong as you make it. Spend time on the site, make friends, soldify your quit. It is much harder to cave and go back to nicotine when you consider the people in your quit group friends. Drink the KTC kool-aid and commit to quit.
Head on over to the "Welcome Center" and it will explain everything you need to know to get started. forum/55560/ (http://forum.killthecan.org/forum/55560/)
Let us know if you have any questions, comments, concerns..... We are all here to help each other stay off the nic. Today I am dedicating my day of quitting to you. Let's do this man!

Your quit group is going to be the Titans (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/10359552/115/#new)
When you are ready, post your name on the roll call and promise to yourself and your group that you will be nicotine free. This will explain how to post roll. (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/1003072/1/#new)

Mason, you need to know this is not a habit, but an addiction. You will always be a nicotine addict, but you can learn how to control it but reading everything on this site, and posting roll. Posting roll is a promise that you will not use nicotine for 24 hours. It is what all of us do as early as we can every day. Join us, and make a wise decision at a young age.

Mason- your a wise man to do this now! Send me a PM and I shoot you my number. Call or text anytime you need someone to tell you YOU HAVE A CHOICE every day you have a choice. It's going to suck for awhile but the alternative is worse. I give you mad props that at 18 you recognize you have an addiction and you are looking for support. We are here for you. QUIT strong. Quit Hard. Stay Quit- there's no other option. You can never go back, not even once. If you truly want help know it's a lifetime commitment.

Mason,
Like I just told one of your quit brothers (peeinair)....you are so very far ahead of the power curve here. Quitting now will save you countless years of wasted money and time later (trust me on this). Read as much as you can on the SUCK that will be your life for the next couple weeks....post roll EARLY every day.....honor your word....build a community of like-minded quitters.....repeat.
Welcome. You are one very smart young man.

Mason,
Welcome to the madhouse! Congratulations on making the best decision of your life. It's a hard road brother but it gets better and it is totally worth every second of the suck. You should buy lots of gum or mints or sunflower seeds to help out with your quit. You could also get some fake dip (I use smokey mountain wintergreen) because it helps a lot with the craves. The things you need to do to be successful in your quit are simple. You need to wake up and post roll EARLY EVERYDAY DAMN DAY, read everything you can and learn to hate nicotine, exchange numbers and form a Web of Accountability and remember the suck so you know why you never want to use again. I would tell you to make sure you have thick skin but being that you are a country boy like me I know you already have some thick skin. Own your quit and kick the nic bitch in the ass brother! Get yourself in the October 2014 quit group (The Titans of Quit) and post roll. That will be your quit group. Check your pm's because I sent you my phone number if you need it.

Welcome, if you are serious about quitting..how about a little enthusiasm! This is a big deal, Its hard to quit, but its quite a ride and totally worth it. Tell us a little more about you and your story.
-
Welcome Masonruss. I'll check in Oct to see if roll looks goods.
It's not going to be an easy ride, don't let the easy morning fool you. That nic bitch is going to turn on the charm and try to seduce the hell out of you before you know it... Get prepared now. Get some seeds, gum, fake stuff, water, tea, phone numbers... register for the live chat. Hell, run to the gas station now and fill your tank. Gas stops during the first week can be deadly.
Keep your guard up, be prepared for the suck( I promise is coming), and reach out to us! Proud to be quit with you today....

Mason,
Welcome read everything you can about your enemy to arm yourself when she comes to take her slave back. Go to the welcome center.
When you post roll here you give your word to yourself first that you will not chew for today only then to us. This is your word it has to be strong because you are going into battle with an addiction to a substance that has no rival when it comes to addicting agent nicotine.
The suck will come embrace it take what all of withdrawal has to offer and push through. The mental game is next that's when you need to start packing your tool bag with tools to defeat your opponent.
Need help PM me.

We got a double intro here, can someone with the EASY button merge por favor?

Support is needed it's so hard the urge keeps calling me

Support is needed it's so hard the urge keeps calling me
Just keep it up. Take it one day, one hr, one min at a time. You can do it just look at the bright side
-
Here's what you do. It's simple. Just keep that shit out of your mouth.
Now, craves are coming and they are coming hard. Suck it up. Go to the fridge and get a big old bottle of ice cold suck it up.
Quitting is hard. There are many people here that will agree. They will also help you save your life. You can do this.
THe price for this help is posting roll. Make a promise to yourself and each one of us that you will not use nicotine in any form for 24 hours. That's all we deal with here....24 hours.
Start right now and take nicotine off the table. It just isn't an option. Do something else.
Let's go....
Hit the ground running....
-
The urge hits us all. Fight through. Do pushups till it eases then "take a knee and drink water!"
You know what's hard, eating a steak without a jaw.

Here is what helped me early on in my quit. First, read these stories:
20 Year Old Named Chance (http://www.killthecan.org/facts-figures/my-son-aspirated-dip/)
Jenny and Tom's story (http://www.killthecan.org/facts-figures/jenny-tom-kerns-story/)
The story of Randy..... (http://www.killthecan.org/facts-figures/the-story-of-randy-and-his-cancer/)
If you are still nic raging and just craving a dip worse than anything then head on over here-- PICTURES THAT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE!!!! (http://www.killthecan.org/facts-figures/cancer-pictures/)
If you are still thinking about popping a lip turd in after that, I would be willing to take you out for a nice seafood dinner.....and never call you again.

The early stages of quit sure do suck... No getting around that, friend. Know these things and stay the course:
1. If you make the right choice each day, these sucky days never need to be repeated.
2. The days get better, real soon.
3.You will never know freedom if you give up now.
4.I give you my solemn promise these (very) few days of suckiness will be worth it. Scouts honor.
It won't be long before the nic-bitches clutches weaken. Before her screams of FFEED ME! fade into a distant whisper.
Stay the course, friend. You can do this.

You want to know what's hard?
Chemo.

Sorry to break the topic but this is his 3rd intro, can we get it shored up? I'd do it but don't think I can.
Mason, you are on Day 19, do you have numbers of October quit brothers to call or text? The tools are all right here. Also please just post in one intro thread, and don't make a new topic everyday.
-
It's not that hard bro. If you hate it, and I mean really really hate it, then it's not hard at all. I dipped for like 26 years, and I'm on day 23 and it's been simple. I know we're all different, but you just have to keep hating it. Get gum, seeds, toothpicks, straws for a sub. Get numbers of your quitters in your group. Hop into chat when urges are strong. Lots of tools at your disposal, you just have to use them. If you're just trying to be a lone wolf, then yes it's hard. So, don't do that. Use the tools. I know you're going to make it. I'll be looking for you in the HOF list. Don't disappoint!

Mason,
I've combined all three of your Intros. Pull your head out.
