Hey! Pretty new here, and I thought I'd post an intro and meet some people.
Started dipping in 1987 at 14 when my friends and I would bike to a c-store with a "note from dad" to sell us some chew. Can't believe it sometimes worked.
Got into it for real in 1989 and got worse and worse until I quit while I was in the Marines in 1999. Had a bet with some of my brother Marines. Won it.
Like an idiot, I started again in 2004 while working construction. Worked myself up to a can/day; now, I'm gutting Grizzly LC Wintergreen while I teach HS English and coach Football. Terrible.
I've got three young kids now: daughter 7, son 4, daughter 3. Ready to quit, but dreading the quit. I set a target date a few weeks ago: start of the school year and start of FB season, August 11.
I know I'll need help from God, family, and the amazing folks at this site. Can't say how glad I am to have found it.

There isn't a single good reason to ever ingest nicotine again. You don't even enjoy using it. You just don't enjoy NOT using it. It's called addiction.
Dump all nic and post roll call right this second and let's get it done. Don't think; just quit.
-
God, your family, ktc, yeah we can all help you in this fight to step away from nicotine, and we will, but you are the one that must help your self the most.
Get your mind right, come to the realization the you can never ever for any reason ingest that crap again. Make it through today with that mind frame and when you wake up in the morning we will work on it all over again.
You can do this!

You can do this!

Brotha, nicotine lies to us. It tells us we can't do it, put it off, set a later date, you can't go cold turkey, taper down, blah, blah, blah. The truth is you can do it, cold turkey is THE way to go because it is you finally taking control of your life, and you really can feel completely free of nicotine. Go ahead. Jump in with both feet. Jump for your life. You'll land in a place with lots of good company bro. Shoot me a pm and ill quit with you every day.

Hey, it's August 11th, are you gonna bless us with your roll call, or were you just teasing us with a false start date? Prove what I think the answer is in my head wrong.
-
He meant AUGUST 11th......next year
Very typical of someone who sets a target date. We all know it.....If you don't have the skin satchel to quit right now, you won't have it tomorrow.
-
I'm posted on roll call, and I'm nicotine free since 11:00pm last night.
Day 1...

Good job Uncas, see you posted your day 1. Start small, grind it out hour by hour. Drink loads of water, it helps flush the system. Seeds, hard candy, toothpicks, jerky, gum, fake. Get you something for an oral fix. 72 hours for the nic to get out of your system. One day at a time. Look forward to seeing you post a day 2 tomorrow.
-
Uncas,
One day at a time. one roll call at a time. post early in the morning, as soon as you get up. It is powerful to know you have pledged to your fellow brothers a promise to stay quit. on 8th day, and it works. stay true to yourself and your fellow November brothers. we will stay strong with you. We are all in this together. Good luck my friend. PM me if you need a number to reach out to.

Thanks, fellas.

Uncus if we all can do it so can you. I quit with you today.

Welcome, Uncas! It's always great to see a new addition to the Stone Cold Quitters of November. Great bunch of folks on this site. It's going to be tough, but use the resources here to help you kick the nic! Don't hesitate to contact your brothers on here for help either. If you ever need some one to talk to, send me a PM and I'll gladly help you get your quit on! Stay strong Uncas!
-
Glad you found us. Glad you made the decision. Glad to quit with you today.
-
Uncas, my bad. You posted roll and that is exactly all you have to do to stay quit. Keep up the quit and please accept my apology for doubting.
