Hello everyone,
I stumbled across this site while looking for advice on quitting, and am very happy about everything i've seen. Seems like you have a great community here. Enough with the sappy stuff, I have set my quit date for Monday. Been chewing at least a can a day (usually more) for 5+ years. I don't usually do the online support stuff, but the vast majority of my friends are dippers as well so it is hard to go to them for help and advice in trying to quit. Anyway, I am looking forward to finally stop living my life according to Grizzly's time schedule.
Go Irish!

Hi NDvictory88,
Glad you found the site! Quitting nicotine is one of the best decisions you will ever make. quitting sucks at first but it does get better! One thing has me confused though... If you want to stop living your life according to your can of Griz, why wouldn't you want to do that TODAY????
My advice is to quit RIGHT NOW . I can assure you from much personal experience that Monday is not gonna be easier than today. All you're gonna do for the next few days is go an quest for the ultimate dip... which doesn't exist.
Do yourself a huge favor and follow your gut instinct. You came here to quit... so quit!
Dump out your can and head over to December 2011 and post a day 1.
Posting roll is your promise to your quit brothers and sisters (and most importantly, to yourself) that you will not use any form of nicotine that day. It isn't easy but as long as you are they kind of person who's word means something, you can do this. All the support you need is here for the asking.

I agree with Clampy--Quit now!...........You wrote "I am looking forward to finally stop living my life according to Grizzly's time schedule."
Why not really show the Griz who's in control and not let him put off your quit date!
Welcome to the site, Throw away that shit, post every day, and read every thing you can on this site. YOU CAN DO IT!

Welcome aboard NDVictory.
I see you have a quit planned for Monday. I too have had MANY successful planned quits. They were so successful that I decided to repeat the process a dozen times over the last 10 years until I found this site.
Sarcasm aside, I'm glad to see MikeA in here responding and doing what he does. He may not know it, but he was instrumental in my quit. On 3/19 I posted my intro, and the fact that I had a quit planned in the near future. His response (and I paraphrase):
"I bet you have a busy weekend planned of dipping and watching March Madness. Guess what, with or without dip, your brackets will still suck. Man up and quit now."
Guess what. Other than his knock on my brackets (which were perfect, BTW) he was spot on. That's the thing about this site. All of the vets have been here before, attempted multiple failed "planned quits". I challenge you to find one HOFer that agrees with the planned quit method. It doesn't work.
On 3/19, I scrapped my planned quit, took out the lip turd, dumped the can and I have been nic free ever since. 250 days +/-.
Quit now. Post Day 1 in the Feb group, and embrace the suck.

ND, do it today man! I got on here 8 days ago with my stupid little "trying to quit" attitude. I was quickly informed that we don't TRY, we QUIT. Now I am 8 days Grizzly free! I was a can and a half a day dipper. You can do this man!

The Now question comes up a lot in here. This is how I answered it. (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=3836)

I set a Monday quit date (rather than today), because tomorrow I am leaving for a 3 day long bachelor party weekend with nothing but dippers. And I don't want to spend my first "hell" days, drunk around people dipping constantly. I don't feel like thats an environment that will provide anything but failure.

And continuing to chew isn't failure????
mmm... 3 days of packing your face full of tobaccy with your buddies. Drooling brown shit and filling beer cans with your own spit, sounds like a blast. Should be real easy to quit on Monday, with an overload of nicotene coursing thru your veins. And all those memories of your good times chewing with your buddies will be fresh in your mind... Sounds like a you're setting yourself up for an immediate cave-in. If you're lucky, maybe all those pinches of horse shit you pack in your face over the weekend won't be the once that give you cancer, but why chance it?
Prove to your buddies that your a real man and quit the shit right now. Here's an idea... You quit now, and print off the pics of mouth cancer and give it to your buddies, and get them all (or at least one, there must be one with some sense) to quit with you. Don't worry about the 3 days without chew. Focus on one day, or one hour if you have to, but keep the shit out of your face. Maybe you might have to stay sober to keep from chewing? Is it worth it, to be the odd man out? At least you wouldn't be the guy 10 years from now with 1/2 his jaw missing.

That is such fucking bull shit dude. Come back when your serious. There will always be parties, fishing trips, super bowls, dip buddies to hang around. You will have to face each of these and you will have to stay quit.
Fucking man up and live rather than being afraid of looking like a pussy in front of your buddies. If you are quit then it is them that are the pussies. Maybe you can even talk one or all of them into quitting with you.

Wow dude, how can you tell me my intentions are bullshit after I post 2 paragraphs on here. You don't know what I did before I came to this site. Because actually two days ago I went and saw my doctor and came up with a quit plan. It is based on my doctors recommendations that I set the date after the bachelor party because alcohol is such a big trigger for me. Also, he recommended that my quit date be the start of a regular week for me, regarding work, house chores, etc ... If I was not serious about this I wouldn't have gone to the doctor and worked with him to get help and figure out the best way to do this, let alone come here, register, and post on a support group. Also, you don't know what kind of relationship my friends and I have. They could care less whether I dip or not. If I did not dip in front of them they wouldn't look at me like a pussy. The problem lies in their offering me one everytime they took one. Which would be constantly with the amount of people who dip on the trip. I came here for support man. Perhaps I've come to the wrong place for that, if this is the way I am going to get talked to when I post on here.
-
Oh Poor little Notre Dame dude.
You don't think we've seen your kind come before? You don't think you are not the first to set a future quit date and get hammered for it?
There are usually two responses to this kind of treatment.
1. you cry like a little bitch and say this may not be the right place for you and go away. Yes, we have seen that many times.
2 you man up and quit today. we have seen that too. we love those guys.
you don't think we all went to bachelor parties? you don't think we all hung around with asshole drinking and dippin buddies? there is NOTHING new to your story.
ZERO.
the reason we sound like aholes is because we are you and we want you to quit.
you want to leave, bye bye, makes no difference to me, but i'd like you quit.
BTW, fuck your doctor he's a dooooshhhhhhhhhhhh.

This place can be pretty damn hard core in the quitting department. Understand one thing, 99.9% of the people on this site, including everyone who posted a response to your intro, would drop everything they were doing to help you quit. We have gained our freedom and the quitters you see posting here are attempting to help you.
Let that sink in for a moment.
There are a variety of personalities on this site. There are several variations to the quit. All of us have the same goal. Take what you need from the site and it's people and leave the rest. Help where you can. Be accountable. Post roll giving your word. Keep your word.
Everyone here is doing this. They want you to do the same. They will help the way they know how.
The rest is up to you.

Are you trying to tell all the bad ass quiters in here that we should say its OK to continue dipping three more days? Get Fucking real! There is never a better time to not dip then right now! I for one will never say its OK to Dip for the next three days. If thats what you looking for STOP! Get the fuck off the site and come back when you have a pair!

I don't know about that doctor you have there, he's probably not too familiar with this particular addiction. You need to listen to the people that have been in the exact same position as you. Did you read about the risks of mouth throat cancer? Did you look at the pictures? If not, find them and look at them, as that is the future that you risk. Don't waste another moment of your life on this self-destructive habit.

I'm a "newbie" here too (on day 24 of my quit). At first, the in-your-face attitude of these guys caught me by surprise as well. But please listen to them. The only way you're going to succeed is to approach your quit with no excuses and no compromise. When you can truly say, "I'm doin' this now!" and mean it, you'll be on your way.
Go for it. Now!

Well the reason i reacted like I did was because I felt as if I was being straight attacked, and when I feel attacked the only way I know how to react is to get defensive and attack back. So I apologize for reacting the way I did. Regardless, I am doing this. I have a quit plan in place for myself. Went and bought the supplies I feel like i am going to need for the quit (seeds, gum, altoids, beef jerky chew etc ...). Called my family and friends and told them what i was doing so i could get there support. Im going to do this and do it my way. I know i am stronger than this and I know i can beat it.
-
Our methods have helped many people quit and stay quit. If ND quits right now and listens to us and allows us to describe a plan for him this weekend he will make it and he will be quit before, during, and after the party. He just ain't got the balls to do.
Yep, I know exactly who you are even after 2 posts.
-
Im going to do this and do it my way.
Then leave us out of it.
You came here for a reason. Your way has failed you before. Your way sucks. Do it our way and you will be quit for life.

Your right, I came here for a reason, to get help. What would your ideas for my upcoming bachelor party weekend be?

There you go Gents. I don't have time to respond to this with any detail. Be constructive Gents. You pushed, he responded with more questions. Time to strap on the helping caps.

In April 2010 we helped a brother, Phat Pauly, through a similar situation. He left with 10 numbers of fellow quitters who were all willing to take calls and help him through it. You need to post day 1 right now and tell your situation to your new brothers, and sisters, in Feb 2011. Ask for numbers, you will get them. During the weekend, call, text, email these new friends who are all going through the same thing you are.
You should also volunteer to be the designated driver all weekend. I guarantee the tits and ass will look and smell just as sweet sober and dip free.
Pack gum, mints, beef jerky, sweets any food you like. Eat all you want too, eat everything in site.
Just think right now how fucking strong your quit will be Monday morning if you do this right now. There is no was in hell on Monday morning you will wake up wishing you had dipped all weekend, no way in hell. If you do dip, knowing what you know now, you will wake up feeling like the slave to the nic bitch that you are.
-
Your right, I came here for a reason, to get help. What would your ideas for my upcoming bachelor party weekend be?
I was not facing a bachelor party like you, but when I quit, I became a big fucking blabber mouth, very enthusiastic too. Everybody I could tell I did, up front and in their face, dippers, non-dippers, friends, cats, dogs, family, cousins, uncles, co-workers, bosses, affiliates, the curtains, everyone and everything. The first thing I found out was how supportive all of those people can be, oddly enough - even the people who dipped. I was a little worried that I would catch shit from my friends who contunue to dip to this day, but they were very supportive and probably a little bit jealous that I have quit.
As far as getting shit from your friends, don't good friends rib each other anyways. I know my buds always give me crap, name calling, jokes, jibes, ribs and what not. I don't know your friends or even you, but damn, you got to think about you and quitting tobacco rather than you and what your friends may say or not. It is not thier choice, it is yours, you control it they don't. I was called a pussy once by a dipper, I challenged the fucker right then and there to toss his can in the toilet and flush, could not do it - stare down winner here.
So - how do you get through this weekend bender, great question - I have not faced that scenario, but get lots of crap to eat, gum (non-nic), seeds, and what ever else, then get ready for the ride. Just think, if you can make this trip and come back quit - the rest will be easy.
-
Can this legitimately count as my day 1 since i have dipped today though?
-
that's a great idea scooners.
First thing you do to everyone you meet and talk to this weekend is tell them you quit on Wednesday. They way if they see you dipping they can give you hell. Who wants to catch hell from a stripper?
-
Can this legitimately count as my day 1 since i have dipped today though?
yes, the day you quit is your day 1 even if it is 11:59pm.....but don't wait till then.
-
you are doing the right thing, ND.
PS i got my ass kicked here the first day too. that was 598 days ago.

I've already called two of my best friends (who are also going on the trip), to let them know i'm done with it. They are very supportive. I told them, that if they see me with a dip this weekend, they have my 100% permission to punch me in the nuts.
And where do i go to post the day 1 and roll call stuff at?

That is f'ing awesome...great choice!!! There is never a better time to save your own life than right f'ing now!!!
You're gonna feel like crap for a while. That's called "the suck." The cool thing about it, actually the only cool thing about it, is that everyone on here has to make it through the suck. There are no short cuts. Embrace the suck, remember the suck, and use the suck as motivation to never cave...unless you want to go through the suck again.
"Yesterday + 1" is your new motto. Post roll everyday, even on the trip, and keep your word. Even if you have to use your cell phone, access this site and post roll. Or just ask someone to post roll for you. The important thing is that you've taken the first step. We got your back on the rest.
You can do this. We're counting on you to keep your word. We're keeping our word to you, too.

booradley, I know you know this already (not trying to shit on your post) but for the new guy...
"luck" has nothing to do with quitting.
We quit here, PERIOD. See you on roll NDvictory88!!
-
Victory.
Make that an appropriate name.
I saw your posts in February 2011. That takes balls. I know. You can do this.
P.S. damn proud of the support in here and everywhere on this site. I can guarantee if you listen to this band of quitting brothers and you truly want to quit, you will be successful.
Keep your word.
CAVING IS NOT AN OPTION, Do Something Else.

ND---Damn proud to see you step to the plate. Earlier today I could of sworn you would not listen to our advice. After getting caught up with your post--I know you will kick the Nic Bitch in the mouth this weekend. Its awesome to have you on board. You need a number send me a PM.

Also got some good news tonight .... 1) made it through my first night of work dip free. Work was one of my biggest dipping times. 2) I talked to my dad (a smoker for as long as i can remember) told him about my quit, and he agreed to quit smoking as long as i keep my quit.

That's awesome. One piece of advice though, do not make your quit dependent on others quits. My brother-in-laws quit inspired mine, and mine inspired my dad. we ll uit in a one month period. I am the only one that used this site, and I am the only one of the three that remains quit. I hope your situation turns out better, but if he caves it does not give you the right to so as well. Also, feel free to invite him here. It will help his quit as well.

This site, at work, at its best. You've had some heavy hitters reach out to you ND, as many as I've seen in awhile. Lean on them when you need......never let them down.
Congrats on bumping your quit up, its gonna suck at times.....I promise you will have no regret. The freedom is good.

Good man, ND!
Like you, I registered on this site with a quit plan for a future date, and got kicked around a bit. This place can be hardcore at times, but it works.
Once you make it past this weekend, you can make it past anything.
PS-Hope your boys fuck up SUC next week.

Good choice man! If you need another number send me a PM.

In the car on the way to Chicago, everyone in the group is now informed of my quit. All were supportive. Also, gave the entire group permission to physically abuse me, if they see me with a dip or holding a real dip can. (fake stuff is excused). Needless to say, they were excited about the idea of this, not to often they get to hit me without me hitting them back. haha. But too bad for them they still won't have the opportunity this weekend either. Anyway, I got my laptop out and posted on here, because car trips were always big trigger points for my chewing as well, especially when most of the guys in the car have the nasty shit in their lips right now too. Staying strong and I will make it through this weekend. So for now, my pal David sunflower seeds and I are going to have a party.

I am so damn proud of this quit. Day by day ND is becoming my new quit hero. One of the strongest mother fuckers in this place right now.
You should be proud. I think you are!! That alone will keep you quit.
