hey all. I realize now that I am makin a smart decision to quit the addiction while only being on the tin for about 3 years. After reading that some people started pre-teenage years is bewildering but gives me a great since of hope that i can quite the tin!

good call marsh, your not going to get any less addicted. If you don't quit, the end game is you wind up like me. I quit because I could no longer kill the withdrawls from nicotine, no matter how much I used. Im lucky that shit didn't kill me outright. If I coulda quit after three years I'd be in alot better shape.
Have you started posting roll yet?

excellent decision you can do it now is as good a time as any

Hey Bro, great decision, you can do this. Just as many of us are destroying our addiction, we are standing the battle ground right beside you.

so my last dip was at 5:07 pm yesterday, ate dinner watched a movie with the GF. slept like a champ and woke up this morning feeling good. ate breakfast and then it hit me, that urge to tap the tin and take a pinch at 6am...
I ate nearly a 1/2lb bag of goose jerky, chewing it up packing in my lip like a dip to no avail.
i bitched out and bummed one from one of my shop guys!!!!! damn it!
I have a few cans of the smokey mountain pouches but they just taste like bad wintergreen candy?
Is there any other herbal chews that are closer in taste and might help me out with the habit of driving and having a bottle in my hand? That seems to be the worst time for me as I have a long commute to / from work.
seems like yesterday it was just a pinch here and there during softball or on the weekends...
I broke down and told my mom my battle and she was supportive of the fact that i knew i had an addiction that could ruin my health in more ways than one.

Niwot is correct your first mistake is not posting roll!!!! Post roll promising to everyone on this site that you will not dip that day and then do whatever it takes to stay quit!!!!! Read everything you can on this site all the tools are here for you to quit and stay quit but, it's up to you to use them!!! And caving within 24 hrs of your quit is not acceptable!!! :angry:

Now that you've posted roll, you have given your word that you will not use tobacco IN ANY FORM for the rest of today. I would think that the last thing you wan't to be labeled is someone who can't keep their word. So don't use it, period.
-
Tell your shop guys and all your friends that you have quit. If your dipping buddies do not care and wave that can in your face, kick them out of your life and move on. Do not associate yourself with those that cannot support you.
-
First off you are a little bitch and I will know you as that for the rest of your stay here until you prove me wrong. You had to have one from your shop buddies? Wow you know how easy it is to say NO. It is just two fucking little letters that mean no thanks and Fuck you I dont want any. No seriously how hard can it be to quit in America. Fairly easy I think. Did you wake up this morning to machine gun fire? Or how about an alarm telling you to get your ass under cover as a round was headed your way. And no I aint talking about a round at the bar I am talkin some dude who wants you dead just because you are an American. Now if I can do it in those conditions you should be able to where your biggest problem is will I have enough gas to get to work. So as it was pointed out before me.. UNFUCK YOURSELF!

Alright Marsh, second go round, No More fuck Ups!!!!!!!!!! Your life depends on it..
Please repeat after me.
I refuse to be a statistic anymore. Once I realized the only way to quit and stay quit is if I accept the responsibility of controlling my own actions. A little can no longer controls my actions, thoughts, emotions, MY DESTINY. I DO! There is no going back from here or I am that statistic I refuse to be.
Commitment is a heartfelt Promise to yourself that you will not back down from. Your ability to live up to your commitments defines your character.
Show us what tpye of character you have!

You are a giant poon, marshman. We don't allow poons here. Grow something between your legs and sack up...god dammit.

After spot jr's post that would motivate me to quit anything that was bad for me!
I'm a noob myself but I have to jump in on the beatdown marsh. You're a pussy. Man up and prove to yourself that you can do this. PM me if you want my # and you can call me whenever you feel the urge to cave again.
But right now, you are a fucking pussy caver. 24 hours man. C'mon!

C'mon Marsh...
I don't know if this will make sense to you or not, but I need you, man! I need you to take some responsibility for yourself because the more people that are empowering themselves alongside me equals the more strength that I have regarding my own quit.
No... absolutely not... my quit is not dependent upon yours; however, the more people that are facing their own truths alongside me the better off I am.
It's not scientific fact, but I'm pretty much sure of it.
March2010 is growing. You want support? You've got it. All you need to do is holler.
I'm brand new (so to speak) and I can tell you that there are people coming out of the woodwork to welcome me, to hold me accountable, to enCOURAGE me, etc.......
These same people are welcoming you, I'm 100% certain.
Let your Brothers in. Let your Sisters in.
This is the most powerful thing we can do for each other HERE NOW.
I hope you'll play the game. Your choice to be tobacco free gives me power. Hopefully, you catch some of the reciprocity of that.

Didn't really get the importance of this cohort movement. Now it seems like a complete no brainer. Those of us in the March 2010 group can get our strength from each other. It doesn't have to be just one person, alienated and white knuckling it.
Folks, I promise that if any of you feel like caving and reach out to me, I will do all within my power to help you out. I hope you will do the same for me. When you think of the alternative, it is a lot worse than the crave.
