Title: This time!
Post by: PhillipG on April 24, 2016, 04:21:00 PM
My name is Phillip and I'm 26 years old. I've been dipping all the time since I was 14. What started out as something cool that would calm me down has turned into a drug that I have to have as soon as I wake up every morning. I've tried quitting before but I always go back to my Grizzly Wintergreen Long Cut. But now I have too much to lose. I have a beautiful wife, 2 sweet daughters, and another one on the way. Today is day 2 of my quit and this time I will succeed!

Congrats on your decision, and welcome. Go to the Welcome Center, and learn how to post Roll. Because this is your day 2, you will be a member of the July quit group.

Post roll, promise to quit today, keep your promise, repeat tomorrow.

There's lots of stuff to read here, and lots of people to hold you accountable.

I'm proud to quit with you.

Congrats brother on your decision to quit! I just joined this site myself and am in a similar situation. Stay strong.

Nice to see such a young man with a bright future getting his head on straight at such a young age. You better do this NOW, or you will end up like ME. 50 years old, having dipped for 20 + years.

What a dick I was.

DON'T BE LIKE ME! DO it now bro.

You certainly have a lot to lose...sounds like a beautiful family. Do yourself a favor...don't quit for them. It's not about them.

Yup, that sounded like a complete A-hole statement, but here's the deal. I've tried quitting for my kids, wife, family and each time I did - I failed miserably. This time, I've been quitting for me. I want my freedom. I want to be healthy. I want to enjoy life. Through my success, my wife and kids reap the benefits of that. Moral of the story - be selfish my friend. The best thing you can do for them is to make this quit all about you.

Good to see you on roll PhillipG. Keep it up, post roll daily and keep your word for 24 hours. That's the recipe for being quit and as long as you can do that, you will be. Drink lots of water to help with the suck it does get better. The more involved you are with your group, the easier this will be.

Thanks guys on welcoming me in. Also, thank you all for helping me with this war. Yesterday was a little rough seeing just about everybody at work dipping. I just have to keep reminding myself why I quit and have plenty of fake snuff on hand.
