I have been through hell for two years. On January 8th, 2013 I lost my sister at 31 years old. I was crushed, I had so many regrets, so many unsaid words that I couldnt get over it and blamed myself for so many things. A year later, i was getting divorced and trying to figure out a way through with a little girl who is daddys world and adores me. I am quitting because I want to leave very honestly, I want to live and walk my daughter down the aisle and grow old with her. but i am also quitting because i dont want her to look at daddy and be disappointed, I remember yelling at my mom to stop smoking and look at me at 25 dipping and doing the same shit i asked her not to do.
I love sports. Huge Buckeye fan and love basically everything Ohio except the bengals. I just want to be happy. I love fitness and have lost 85 lbs since my sisters passing and will continue to be in the gym and getting healthy. Once im quit completly of dip, i cannot wait to get another tattoo, i currently have 5, to commemorate that nothing is stronger than my willpower.

Welcome. I like that you have posted roll already.
You will never be completely quit of dip, you and I are nicotine addicts, and thus never cured. But we can choose not to use, one day at a time. See you on roll call tomorrow. Get some digits in the January group, making a brotherhood of quitters is an awesome thing.

Totally fucking badass first post bro. Kick ass.
Sorry about your sister and your divorce, but I am glad those events have pushed you into two positive directions, losing the weight, and now quitting.
I quit for myself, but its my beautiful daughters who it will mean the most to. I am going to be here to protect them, instead of a stiff buried underground, missing my face.
One slight disagreement with Thumble's reply .
I am most definitely,100% completely quit. I am just not cured of my addiction. That's what he meant, I'm sure.
PM if you need anything.

It gets way way better. Just stay focused on one day at a time. Pretty soon you'll wake up and say "I feel pretty fucking good". Keep fighting brother. It is so worth it.

CD, this site is pretty straight forward. It works like this...
1) post roll with a promise not to use dip
2) repeat every day
Remember to quit for yourself. Your daughter and the Buckeyes are important but your life comes first. There is no excuse to use nicotine ever again. Even if the Buckeyes smash Michigan State and get into the playoffs and beat 2 SEC teams on the way to a national championship.

That's a heavy intro and I'm sorry you have had to endure those burdens. I would forewarn you however, do not make this quit about those burdens or your daughter. Do this for you. We have all tried to quit for loved ones and for reasons other than for ourselves, and we have all failed. Quit for you; certainly all that you have said can be used as motivation, but quit for you. Do that, and you'll be proudly walking your daughter down the aisle one day.
Now to the more pressing matter...Post roll. Every day you need to post roll and give us your promise not to use nicotine for that day. This is the cornerstone of quitting; those few sentences I noted above are irrelevant unless you post roll every day.

Welcome friend. You've made an awesome decision for your life. I'm glad you're here, and you WILL succeed! Now, go post roll!

You're not on roll today. WTF?
Post roll every day. No days off. Post early, when you first get up. No other way to do it.
