Title: Starting tonight
Post by: zcc91 on December 23, 2012, 09:51:00 PM
I, like some others, started dipping to help quit smoking...Stupid idea, I know now. I tried dipping before I started smoking, didn't like it, so I figured it wouldn't be that hard to quit; slowly, but surely it just became something I did and actually enjoyed. I didn't smell like smoke and no one had to know. Well it's been almost a year and I've finally decided I want to quit dipping now. I'm tired of my mouth being sore and being paranoid about every little dumb in my mouth. I'm tired of my gums bleeding when I brush my teeth. I tired of having to hide my spit bottle and worrying if someone is going to find one.

So tonight, I spit out my last dip and threw the rest of the can out. I've tried before... made it two day, then broke, bought a can and it was like I never even went two days without it 'bang head' . I want this time to be different! So I decided to join this site. I had poked around on here during the two days I went and it actually helped to read some of the stuff.



I don't know what group I'm supposed to be in.. I'm a little confused as to how that will work, whether today 12-23 would be my 'day one' or if tomorrow 12-14 would be? If someone could point me in that direction I would appreciate it.

Hope to make some friends on this journey, cause I know I can't do it alone.

Welcome to March 2013 zcc.

This video helped me post role the first time. roll posting video (http://www.killthecan.org/roll/)

We post roll every day as early in the day as we can to promise our self and each other that we will not use any nicotine that day. This is done for personal accountability and support.

Post any questions you have on the march quit page, tons of vets and new guys are looking out for us and will answer any questions pretty quickly.

There is also a link on the upper right of the page 'LIVE CHAT' if there are people in there they can provide instant help.

Looks like you've gotten great advice already. But click on the Welcome Center link at the top...read all of that. Then click on the Killthecan.org link to the right of that...and read all of that. Just keep doing that as you go through this whole site.

You can do this. Stay strong, brother!
