Hello All;
I just wanted to stop by and post an introduction. My name is Pat, I am 25 years old and am currently finishing up college. I've been dipping about 9 years or so now. I started smoking and one summer while I was working at a golf course i started chewing. I spent half of that time with skoal wintergreen and I have been dipping cope for the last 5 or so years. The closest I have even been to quit was during Marine Corps boot camp i went without dip for 3 months. Why I didn't stop then is beyond me.
Either way I woke up yesterday and decided 9 years is enough. I really like the hardcore nature of this board, it reminds me of the military. Other than that i'm not really sure what to post here. Ive tried to read the rules and follow the board's regulations, so if im not doing things properly please let me know.

Welcome Paddy and congrats on your decision.
Post roll early, everyday, read everything you can and get involved. You need anything, shout and people will be tripping over themselves to help.

I joined this board in November and found it to be extremely helpful. I made it a month and though the first week or so was really hard I started to find quitting got easier every day.
By the beginning of December, I found that it had become harder and harder to post in the morning and I quit visiting the board.
Even though I wasn't posting I was still staying quit. What I didn't realize at the time was that I was playing tricks on myself. Making myself believe that I had already beaten the monster.
By the middle of December, with my support network eroded. I found the conversations in my head becoming harder and harder to control and eventually caved.
I finished up college, as a dipper, and have begun my new job still a dipper. I kept justifying that " I would quit when I was more settled" That time has come and I find myself making more excuses to procrastinate the quit.
I'm not doing that anymore. Today, July 1, Is my first day of my last quit. This time I will post roll, This time I will stay quit.

Paddy, Great to see you decided to quit and come back to the group. I, like you, thought I had this thing beat, and stopped visiting the site and posting. I, like you, eventually caved. So, I, like you, have come crawling back here, determined to stay quit, and change my life. Congrats on finishing college. Time to turn the next chapter in your life tobacco free! You know how tought these next days are going to be, but you also know that you can get through it. We'll get through it together man. Keep the faith...

to all those fucktards that think missing roll is okay, paddy here is a prime example of what happens if you blow off roll.
it starts with missing one here or there, then you go for a couple days at a time. pretty soon, you're posting roll when you happen to think of it, and not long thereafter, you're on your own without the support of your brothers and sisters here.
paddy, you say you "get it" now. that's great. but before i blow sunshine up your ass, you're going to have to prove yourself by being here every day... EARLY. this quit is the most important fucking thing in your life, so make some time for it even if it's inconvenient.
i'm going to be looking for you every day, and you better be there. i'm going to pm you my number and expect you to reply back with your number. it's time to do this right.

by the way, you need to go back to your original quit group and explain yourself to them. you owe them that much.

You can't buy support like this folks.
DChogs would almost quit for your ass if that were possible.
Proud to be quit with you DChogs.
